Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Watching Shazhu carrying the meat back to the house to cook.

Jia Zhang couldn't help swallowing.

It would be great if I could eat more than a pound of meat by myself.

Yi Zhonghai is a poor man, and it would be a waste to give him meat.

What kind of meat can an old deaf man, who is half buried in the ground, eat?

There are also Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui, one is a money-losing girl and the other is a stupid cook, how could they compete with Jia Zhang for meat.

The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the more she felt she had lost out.

The more you lose, the more you want to make it up somewhere.

She immediately thought of a solution and quickly ran back to the house to find the stick.

After working in the kitchen for half a day, Wang Jianjun and Shen Maiqiu each made four dishes.

Shen Maiqiu announced that the meal was ready and brought the dishes to the table.

"Hey, this braised lion's head dish looks like it was made by you, Brother Jianjun. It looks so appetizing."

Shen Maiqiu's words are full of emotional value.

Unfortunately, she flattered the wrong person, but Shen Chuxia next to her really benefited from it.

It seems that I still have a talent for cooking.

"Hey! This cabbage soup must have been made by you, sister. I used to eat the cabbage soup you cooked every day. I would recognize it even if you carved the cabbage into flowers."

Wang Jianjun's face turned a little dark. The boiled cabbage he had been studying for half a day was actually called cabbage soup by Shen Maiqiu.

Shen Chuxia was laughing secretly.

Shen Maiqiu looked at the two of them in confusion. Wasn't this cabbage soup that looked so unappetizing made by his sister?

"Okay, let's try the dishes first. Let's make the rules clear first. For each dish, the three of us will eat together and vote together. The one with the most votes wins."

It was rare for Shen Chuxia to be aroused by the desire to win.

"Okay, I'll start eating first!"

As Shen Maiqiu spoke, he extended his chopsticks towards the braised lion head.

She has now been injected with an intermediate genetic medicine, which has improved her physical fitness and increased her appetite.

Now I prefer these meat foods that are very filling.

After just one bite, Shen Maiqiu was stunned.

She frowned and looked at Wang Jianjun and asked:

"Brother Jianjun...is your lion's head undercooked? And why does it taste so weird?"

Wang Jianjun held back his laughter and didn't dare to go see Shen Chuxia.

However, Shen Chuxia on the side blushed a little.

It would be very embarrassing if the food was not cooked well.

Looking at the two people's reactions, Shen Maiqiu knew that this dish was made by his sister.

"The recipe said to fry until the meatballs were browned, and I thought they were done when they changed color..."

Shen Chuxia's voice became lower and lower as she explained.

Wang Jianjun almost burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh! It's just this dish that failed. The next one will be fine."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh. Chang Wei! Lai Fu! Come over here for more food."

At Wang Jianjun's call, the two sheepdogs ran in from outside the house.

He stuck out his tongue and circled around Wang Jianjun.

After a few months, the two little guys grew stronger.

Shen Maiqiu directly threw the uncooked meatballs in the bowl to them as a snack.

Uncle Sanye would probably have a heart attack after seeing this wasteful operation.

After a plate of lion's head went into the stomachs of the two little guys, Wang Jianjun drove them out.

Shen Maiqiu then tried the next dish hesitantly.

Braised prawns.

The shrimp was cooked, but it was too salty.

Shredded pork with Beijing sauce, the shredded pork is fried as black as shredded wood ear mushrooms.

However, she was amazed by the taste of the boiled cabbage.

"Sister, how did you make this cabbage soup? It tastes completely different from before. It's so delicious."

Shen Chuxia pouted unhappily and said:

"That was done by your brother Jianjun."

"Pfft! Sis~ I told you that you have no talent for cooking and you still don't believe me."

"Huh! Didn't you always eat well when I cooked for you before?"

Shen Chuxia poked the braised pork in front of her with chopsticks in frustration.

Damn it! They look better and taste better than me.

"Hey! It's not as bad as you say. This is a gift from your sister. No matter what... you have to finish it. Don't waste food."

Wang Jianjun swallowed the salty braised prawns with difficulty.

It was really hard for Shen Chuxia. She made the lively big shrimps look like cheap frozen dead shrimps.

It's all salty and has no freshness of shrimp at all.

But looking at Shen Chuxia's expectant eyes.

Wang Jianjun still chose to swallow the shrimp.

Shen Maiqiu was stunned by that calm and natural expression.

"What are you looking at? This dish is filled with your sister's love for me. Don't snatch it from me."

Shen Maiqiu couldn't help but shiver, even though the two of them would usually say some cheesy love words to her.

But when I listened to them for the first time as a bystander, those love words were really intoxicating.

In the end, Wang Jianjun took on everything.

Almost all of the four dishes made by Shen Chuxia went into his mouth.

After dinner, he drank several glasses of water to feel better.

However, looking at Shen Chuxia's tender eyes, Wang Jianjun felt that he would be happy even if he had to eat a plate of salt.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa, eating fruit and chatting.

Wang Jianjun habitually wanted to turn on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but then he remembered that there were not even black and white TVs in China.

Shen Maiqiu was leaning against Wang Jianjun, reading his new book "Blocking the Sun" with fascination.

From time to time, I fantasized in my mind whether there really was a nine-headed dragon corpse pulling an ancient bronze coffin in the universe in the sky.

In the courtyard on the other side, every household is having New Year's Eve dinner.

The Yan family still distributed the New Year’s Eve dinner based on the number of people as usual.

Yan Bugui was generous for once and replaced the steamed corn bread with white flour.

There was a dish of stir-fried cabbage, a dish of shredded potatoes, and a dish of steamed salted fish on the table.

Yan Jiecheng and his companions had given up struggling.

I was just thinking about whether I could get more fish meat to go with the steamed buns later.

The dinner at Second Uncle Liu Haizhong's house was much more sumptuous than that at Yan's.

At least there was meat, vegetables and fried eggs.

But Liu Haizhong had no appetite just looking at the dishes in front of him.

The eldest son Liu Guangqi went to his father-in-law's house to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

This incident made him feel a little embarrassed, so he stayed at home all day and didn't want to go out.

Seeing that their father was worried, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at each other, quickly stretched out their chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of meat and fried eggs and put them into their mouths and swallowed them.

Then he closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that Fatty Liu hadn't reacted, he reached out his chopsticks to the meat dish again.

"Guangfu! Guangtian! How dare you steal your father's food!"

Second Aunt and Second Uncle have similar personalities. In her eyes, Liu Guangqi and Old Liu are the ones with the highest status in the family.

After hearing what the second aunt said, Liu Haizhong finally reacted.

Seeing that more than half of the meat dishes were missing from the plate, he was already angry and this was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

He stood up and slapped Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu on the face.

Although the two brothers had been prepared, they still screamed in pain after being hit by Lao Liu.

Old Liu was not satisfied with just one slap, so he simply took off his belt and started whipping the two brothers like a spinning top.

He beat and scolded the two of them.

He was not well educated to begin with, and he kept cursing and even cursed himself.

The two brothers are really miserable. They have to suffer physical pain just to eat some meat during the Chinese New Year.

In the end, the beating was so painful that he could only run out of the yard holding his head.
