Siheyuan: Cooking journey

It's not a chance encounter.

On the way back to the cafeteria, I saw Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng over there, so I deliberately walked towards them.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Since I came into this world, I have always been kind to others and never caused trouble.

I didn't expect that even though I was so low-key, someone would deliberately find fault with me.

The tree wants to be still, but the wind keeps blowing.

Just right.

I'm still wondering what I can do to prevent future trouble.

The system interface is opened.

He Yuzhu's eyes fell on Chinese medicine skills.

【Traditional Chinese Medicine Level 4: 12/100】

Collecting herbs has allowed me to accumulate a lot of experience and upgrade my skills.

The experience of using skills during this period tells me,

Without the support of the system, the highest level that human power can reach is only the lv4 elementary level, and the full level lv5 is simply out of reach.

Level 4 beginners are already masters of traditional Chinese medicine, and full-level skills are beyond human power and imagination.

……

The sky gradually darkened.

Ran Qiuye sat in the library lobby, looking at his watch from time to time, looking a little lost.

She didn't like owing favors to others and was always thinking about that dime.

After waiting for the agreed time,

But that person did not show up in the library.

Did I forget, or something went wrong?

Ran Qiuye felt inexplicably worried.

……

It's quiet at night.

He Yuzhu closed the book and prepared to go to bed.

I have finished reading the last book and it is time to start a new one tomorrow.

Sleep until dawn.

The next morning,

He Yuzhu got up and washed, and found that the yard was as lively as a vegetable market, with groups of people gathered together talking.

"This is too tragic. I heard he's still in the hospital and hasn't woken up yet. The second and third uncle's homes are in chaos."

"In my opinion, you deserve it. You don't know who you are after drinking a little."

"Does anyone know what happened? Why did he end up in the hospital?"

"I heard that three people were drinking together. When they were drunk, they got angry over a wrong word and started fighting. It was so fierce that they even smashed the restaurant."

"What a sin! We are wasting our time. Didn't Yan Jiecheng say he was going to get married soon? It looks like the marriage won't happen."

……

He Yuzhu listened to the general idea while brushing his teeth, frowned slightly and sighed.

With this incident happening in the Third Uncle's family, it looks like the plan of introducing a partner to someone through a blind date is going to fail.

My first blind date in life ended before it even started.

It makes me unhappy just thinking about it.

However, there is also something that makes people happy. This messy courtyard looks much more pleasing to the eye today.

There were constant discussions in the yard. Qin Huairu came to the pool with a basin in her hand. Her eyelashes drooped and her brows were furrowed. She seemed to be full of pain, which made people feel distressed.

He Yuzhu glanced at her, washed his face and went back to the house.

"Ugh……"

Qin Huairu sighed softly.

She found that He Yuzhu had become very cold. He said he would ignore her and he really didn't say a word.

He wasn't like this before. Apart from his bad mouth, he was actually quite easy to get along with.

Normally, if the baby cries like he did the night before, a lot of food will be delivered to him the next day.

But there was no response yesterday.

It's normal to avoid suspicion before a blind date.

Qin Huairu could understand.

Fortunately, the blind date failed.

She knew clearly that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu didn't get along, and she would definitely ruin He Yuzhu's blind date.

I just didn't expect this result.

She originally thought that once Xu Damao knew about it, he would still use the same old tricks and spread rumors and cause trouble.

Who would have thought that Yan Jiecheng would be beaten directly into the hospital, and he himself would not be much better, and Liu Guangtian would be inexplicably implicated.

After this incident,

Qin Huairu deeply felt a feeling of being out of control.

This feeling of being out of control left her with lingering fears and made her more alert. She had to be more careful in what she said and did in the future.

……

The canteen at the steel mill remains the same.

He Yuzhu had a leisurely day and was waiting to get off work when he received a notice from Director Yang that he had a task to do.

Lou family.

Father Lou hung up the phone.

Lou Xiao'e asked expectantly, "Dad, how is it? How is it? Did you invite him? I have no appetite these past two days. I just want to eat some real food."

“No.”

Father Lou frowned and shook his head, saying, "Director Yang said it's not possible today and he can't spare the time."

"Then tomorrow."

Although Lou Xiao'e was disappointed, she was also full of anticipation, thinking that she would be able to eat delicious food tomorrow.

"I'll tell Director Yang tomorrow in advance. I'll ask Aunt Wu to stew a chicken and steam a fish today. We'll just have to make do with it for now..."

……

In that indescribable courtyard.

It’s the same kitchen, the same ingredients.

Well, even the meat oil is gone.

He Yuzhu was looking at it, and the aunt next to him said with a smile:

"The cold-mixed shredded carrots we had last time were refreshing, delicious and appetizing. This time, just having this dish will do. I've tried to make it, but I just can't make it taste the same."

"Sister-in-law, cooking is the chef's job. Xiao He's skill is passed down from generation to generation and he has practiced it for more than ten years." Director Yang smiled and took over the conversation: "Let's not steal the chef's job."

"It's because it's too troublesome for you to run back and forth, and you don't want to, so I tried to do it." Auntie sighed: "This time I had to persuade you to agree."

He Yuzhu pretended not to hear this topic and did not interrupt. He looked at the ingredients and said:

"Make oil-splashed noodles and serve with cold-mixed shredded carrots. This cold dish is very simple. I'll teach you later."

"Oil-splashed noodles?" Auntie hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go ask."

This time, the cooking time was longer than last time.

There were not many dishes, just one. I taught the aunt how to make cold dishes and she made a big bowl of them.

When he came back, He Yuzhu had an extra ticket for one pound of eggs in his hand.

Eggs are not expensive, only 50 cents per pound, about ten eggs, but they are hard to buy in the market, even harder than meat.

On the black market, an egg can be fried for as little as two cents.

If you buy eggs and sell them on the black market, you can make a lot of money, but this will disrupt the stability of the market and is against the rules.

He Yuzhu had no intention of using this ticket as he was too lazy to queue up early in the morning.
