Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

When He Lai placed the three bags in front of Master Hu and the others, everyone in the kitchen was stunned.

"Xiao Laizi, why are you so worried? I can tell at a glance that you bought this!"

Master Zheng was speechless.

"What's wrong with buying it? I'm an engineer and my subsidy and salary are over 100 yuan. I can afford it."

He Lai raised his head and said proudly.

"Well, okay, you have money, okay!"

When Master Zheng heard this, he immediately lost his temper. Wow, at such a young age, his salary is higher than that of a first-class chef like me!

"Master Liao, I'm giving you the four flying dragons you said. Hehe. Flying dragon soup, and that scallion-braised flying dragon." He Lai took the dead flying dragon and gave it to Master Liao.

"Xiao Laizi, how about paying for the ingredients first?" Master Liao said with a wry smile. He couldn't afford the ingredients for the four flying dragons, after all, the ingredients were quite expensive.

"What money? I don't have any. If you want flying dragons, I'll give you two. If you want money, I definitely don't have any."

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that. Just wait." Master Liao took Feilong to the stove.

"Master, Master Zheng, please don't just stand there. There are so many things, please help me make some. I have to eat and carry them at the same time. Otherwise, I will be criticized when I go back."

He Lai looked at the two motionless people and gave orders quickly.

"Okay, go ahead, Master Zheng." Master Hu took a bag and went to the stove.

The same goes for Master Zheng.

Soon, the dishes were ready. He Lai drooled as he ate. They were so delicious. Game was so fragrant! No, he had to find time to prepare the big white goose!

"Xiao Laizi, take these four lunch boxes back. I'll collect the rest for your uncle Cui, and I won't give you a bad price."

Master Hu untied his apron and said.

"Okay, but I have to take one back so that Brother Zhuzi can learn from it."

He Lai has no objection, I have plenty of space anyway!

"Well, give him a stork to practice on."

Master Hu also agreed, after all, chefs do need practice.

After a while, Master Liao’s Feilong Soup and Scallion-fried Feilong were also ready.

"Remember to bring the pottery jar back to me next time." Master Liao ordered.

"Okay." He Lai took the pottery jar and lunch box and replied with a smile.

"Let's go, two chefs, and try some food." Master Liao called Master Hu and Master Zheng to taste the Feilong soup and the braised Feilong with scallions.

He Lai smacked his lips, took his things and walked out of Fengze Garden. Fortunately, there were several tricycles at the entrance of Fengze Garden, otherwise it would have been difficult to go back.

It was already half past six when He Lai returned to the courtyard. Fortunately, the gate of No. 95 was not closed, so he didn't have to knock on the door.

He went straight to Sha Zhu's house.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'll give you a bird. Remember to help me make it tomorrow."

He Lai threw the bag to Sha Zhu.

"What kind of bird is this? It's so heavy, it must be ten kilograms." Sha Zhu weighed the bag, opened it and took a look, but he didn't recognize it either, after all, he had rarely seen it.

"Ask Uncle He. Xiao Yangzi, Xier, and Uncle Lai. There are delicious foods for you."

He Lai shook the lunch box pocket and walked towards the backyard. When Xiao Yangzi and Xier heard that there was something delicious, they immediately followed him.

"Wife, I'll go take a look too. Put this thing away."

When Sha Zhu heard that it was delicious, he saw that the lunch box was definitely from Fengzeyuan, so he had to go and try it.

When He Lai entered Wu Juan's house, there were indeed a lot of people waiting for him.

"You are getting bolder and bolder. You went to such a far place by yourself! And you just came back now. Don't you know that your family will be worried about you?"

When Wu Juan saw He Lai coming back, she immediately started to educate him.

"Oh, mother, I actually came back a long time ago. I was at the Fengze Garden Master's place, helping the masters treat some illnesses, so I came back late."

He Lai now speaks without hesitation and his lies are flawless.

"Oh, I see. Okay, next time, be careful about the time and don't come back too late. Got it?"

When Wu Juan heard this, she decided to just let it go.

"I understand." He Lai came to Yu Shui and glared at her.

Yu Shui took the thing from He Lai with a smile.

"Come on, brother, what's delicious?"

"I'm so tired, you can open it and have a look by yourselves." He Lai sat in the rocking chair without moving.

Soon the lunch boxes and clay pots were opened, and the fragrant aroma filled the whole house.

"Damn, Xiao Laizi, where did you get all this game? It smells so good."

Sha Zhu looked at the opened lunch box and pottery jar in shock.

"Hey, don't be envious. See that pottery jar? It's the legendary Flying Dragon Soup. I specially asked Master Liao to make it. Mom, grandma, you should drink more. It's very nourishing."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, Mom, come and drink. This is Xiao Laizi's filial piety."

Wu Juan pulled Old Lady Wu and started to get a bowl of soup and drink it.

Sha Zhu stared at the Feilong soup and wanted to have a sip, but forget it, let's wait until Wu Juan and the others have finished eating.

"Yushui, give me that lunch box." He Lai pointed at the Scallion-fried Feilong and said.

"Oh, Brother Lai, what kind of meat is this?" Yu Shui gave the lunch box and chopsticks to He Lai.

"Don't ask, because your brother doesn't understand. Just eat and open your mouth."

He Lai tore off a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into Yu Shui's mouth.

"It's delicious." Yu Shui chewed it and his eyes lit up immediately. It was indeed more delicious than other game.

"It's delicious, right? Remember, this is called Scallion-fried Flying Dragon, a dish that only a master chef can make. Your brother definitely can't make it."

He Lai also picked up a piece with chopsticks and started eating. It was indeed very fragrant, crispy and boneless, with a rich onion aroma, it was absolutely amazing.

It is worthy of being called dragon meat, it is really delicious.

Soon, Xiao Yangzi and Xier came over, and the four of them had almost finished eating, with only a little bit left.

"Dad, Brother Zhuzi, do you want to try it?" He Lai asked.

"Give it to Zhuzi, I'll just eat these." He Zhan said with a smile. These game dishes were already delicious.

When He Lai heard what He Zhan said, he gave the lunch box to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu immediately took it and started eating, and his eyes changed instantly.

"Xiao Laizi, was this made by Master Liao?" asked Sha Zhu.

"Yes, this flying dragon soup and scallion-fried flying dragon are both royal court dishes."

He Lai explained.

"Oh, it's worth it, this old woman, to be able to eat food from the palace in this lifetime."

When Old Mrs. Wu heard that it was imperial cuisine, she was instantly moved that she, a country person, could eat such delicious food.

"Mom, then you should eat more. Look at all the soup, and you haven't even eaten the meat yet."

Wu Juan said to her mother with a smile.

"I can't eat anymore. You eat it. You still have to feed the child later."

Old Mrs. Wu put down her chopsticks and said with a smile.

"Then leave it for tomorrow. We can't make this good thing all at once."

When Wu Juan heard Old Mrs. Wu say she couldn't eat anymore, she stopped eating too.

The remaining few people were almost done, as they had all eaten after all. Only Sha Zhu wanted to try the Feilong Soup, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Soon Shazhu returned with his two children, and Helai also took Yushui back to take a bath and sleep.
