Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He walked around the room proudly and "showed off" for a while.

Lou Xiao'e skipped to open the door, intending to go wash up. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw a beautiful sister-in-law with unique charm coming out from next door.

It's the young widow.

Even more charming than I imagined.

Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably angry.

How could such a beautiful young widow just be there to help?

How stupid! He Yuzhu just said it casually and I actually believed it.

Then I thought of the young widow who was working with He Yuzhu in the cafeteria.

Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she wanted to vent her anger on a feather duster...

At noon, work in the cafeteria went on as usual.

The steamed buns were steaming hot, and the big pot of fried vegetables was fragrant. But He Yuzhu quietly slipped away.

As soon as I got home, I was greeted by Lou Xiao'e's cold face. I didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was angry.

"What's wrong?" He Yuzhu asked in confusion.

I was muttering in my heart, could it be that they were quarreling over the rain? "Hmph..."

Lou Xiao'e pouted her lips, tilted her head, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked like she didn't want to say anything more.

"..."

He Yuzhu felt strange.

I've gone to work, how could I possibly make her unhappy through the air?

This is nonsense.

He Yuzhu shook his head, put this ridiculous idea aside, and started to make lunch, steaming some steamed bread and stir-frying some cabbage.

When working in the canteen, you can actually pack some food to take home, which is both convenient and easy.

Those meals were originally made by him, so the taste couldn't be hidden.

It’s just that it’s okay for others to carry lunch boxes to and from get off work, but he, the canteen director, can’t do that.

Even if you bought it with money, who would believe it?

All everyone could see was the canteen director carrying his lunch box back home.

Even the most ordinary stew in the lunch box can be made to sound like a delicacy.

After all, his status is there. If the canteen director takes a big pot of food home, isn't that lowering his status? No one will believe that the canteen director is greedy for small gains. As for those stews.

How can a stew be worthy of the position of canteen director?

On the contrary, it is more suitable to eat big fish and meat, which sounds logical.

No matter what the truth is, people are always willing to believe what they want to believe.

If you live alone, you can bring anything you want.

But living with Lou Xiao'e would make things complicated, so I'd better make sure I have enough food and clothing on my own.

As a chef, why would you be afraid of cooking? It only takes ten minutes.

The steamed corn bread is cooked and the cabbage is fried and served on the table.

At first glance, Lou Xiao'e's expression had not yet eased.

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Let's eat. No matter what you are angry about, you can't go hungry."

"..."

Lou Xiao'e raised her chin slightly; she originally didn't want to eat.

But think about it, why not eat the meal cooked by your own man?

It’s all because of him. I was so angry this morning that I didn’t even have breakfast. Only after I had a full meal did I have the energy to continue being angry with him.

Yeah, it’s decided.

Lou Xiao'e sat down with a stern face and started eating.

It’s not like I haven’t eaten ordinary stir-fried cabbage before.

She knew very well that with her man's cooking skills, he could cook even plain vegetables into something mouth-watering.

But this time it was different. As soon as the cabbage entered my mouth, the indescribable taste blossomed on the tip of my tongue.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes curved into crescents. She forgot all the reasons why she was angry just now. She no longer had the idea of ​​ignoring him for a few days. She felt so happy at the moment.

[Delicious food: Incorporating different emotions into carefully prepared food can affect the mood of diners. (Not effective for the maker)]

[Emotional infusion: happiness, a pleasant, joyful, and carefree mood. ]

He Yuzhu glanced at her and said calmly:

"If you feel bored at home, why not come with me to work in the cafeteria? It just so happens that the cafeteria is short of someone to do clerical work."

Considering the long term, it would be a good idea to let Lou Xiao'e have a proper job.

The clerk's position was originally intended to be dry by rainwater, but she went to the street where the conditions were better.

Letting Lou Xiaoe take over is also a good choice.

We go to and from get off work together, and I don't have to worry about how she is doing in the courtyard.

"I'm going to work in the cafeteria?"

Lou Xiao'e was slightly startled, and a bright smile slowly bloomed on her fair face.

At this moment, she felt in a very good mood.

No matter how He Yuzhu explained it before, although it was reasonable, she was still a little skeptical.

Especially after meeting Master Qin Huairu.

The more certain he became, the angrier he became. If there weren't some emotional entanglements, how could he selflessly help a widow for such a long time for no reason?

Even though I have seen that person's true face, not helping him anymore doesn't mean that the knot in my heart has been completely resolved, right?

And now we have to work together. Who can predict whether I will be confused in the future and cause another misunderstanding?

I can’t control the past, but he is my man now.

This kind of bad sign must be nipped in the bud as soon as it appears.

I just haven't figured out how to deal with it soon enough.

He Yuzhu suddenly mentioned that he wanted to quit his job.

Lou Xiao'e's heart was suddenly filled with guilt and self-blame.

She realized that she was worrying too much and was stuck in a dead end.

I really shouldn't be angry with him.

I also regret not believing his explanation.

If there really was something going on between him and Qin Huairu, how could he give up his job so easily?

This is purely my own fantasy.

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e felt so happy that she couldn't help but want to laugh.

She remembered how naive He Yuzhu looked when he fell asleep last night. What a simple and silly man he was.

The last trace of doubt in my heart disappeared.

How could such a simple man have any improper thoughts about a widow? He is just a big fool and doesn't understand all those twists and turns.

The more I think about it, the happier I feel.

The more I look at He Yuzhu, the more I like him.

Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly and asked expectantly, "Who do you think is prettier, me or that widow?"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but stare at her with an extremely focused look.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e's face flushed with shyness and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Then he said with certainty: "Of course you are beautiful."

"Hmph, you have good taste." Lou Xiao'e smiled even more brightly, as happy as a free-flying bird.

He Yuzhu looked at her and couldn't help but smile.

No matter who is beautiful, your own is always the most beautiful.

Even a straight man is unambiguous on this point.

If a man says that his woman is not pretty and instead praises other women, he is not a straight man, but has low emotional intelligence.

"It's settled that I'm going to work in the cafeteria. I'll go talk to Director Yang and ask him for a favor."

He Yuzhu started talking about business seriously.
