I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

He didn't stay at his father-in-law's house for long. After all, it was not Sunday and his father-in-law still had to go to work. Cao Dongfang took his mother-in-law and two children back to Sijiu City before two o'clock.

After sending his mother-in-law home, Cao Dongfang took his two children back to the courtyard.

After visiting my mother-in-law's house many times, the two children have memorized her house, but they still don't know the way. The children are still young and will remember it slowly.

Cao Dongfang still lets his two children play. Studying is not important. It is too early for children of this age to go to school. Studying will be something that the children will be treated for decades later.

The saying that we must not let our children lose at the starting line is all lies. What's the point of learning so many things in elementary school? What place will the children get in the exam when they grow up?

Cao Dongfang believes that the health of his two children is the most important thing, and nothing else matters as long as he is there.

Not important at all.

It is important for two children to grow up carefree. On the road, two children dressed like baby bears were skipping and jumping.

It's good to communicate with each other happily and have fun, that's all.

The two children are Cao Dongfang's own children, and they are destined to have little pressure in their future lives because their parents are able to help them.

Seeing the two children happy, Cao Dongfang was also very happy. He liked his children to be like this and hoped that they could be happy forever.

......

"I went to my dad's house with my mom today. What time did you come back? How is my dad?" Song Xianxian came back from get off work.

"Your dad went to work today, so we came back before two o'clock. Your dad has to go to work in the afternoon, so it's boring for us to stay here."

Your father is fine, in good health and doing well at work. He just ate the food I brought very quickly. It was enough for three people to eat for two months, but it was gone in just over a month.

I filled up your dad's freezer again, so it will be enough for the New Year. I also put two boxes of wine in there, which your dad asked for.

My father-in-law has left home, completely let himself go, and is ready to have a good drink with his drinking buddies.

My father-in-law was under strict supervision by your mother at home, and now that no one is watching him anymore, his true nature is exposed!" Cao Dongfang complained.

"It seems that in my house, it's okay. My mom won't let my dad drink alcohol unless it's Chinese New Year or other festivals. She's afraid that my dad will be in poor health!"

"Haha, soldiers who have been through the war can drink. How many don't like to drink? Your father can have fun out there for a few years!"

"Don't worry about my dad, as long as he's fine! It's okay to have some wine and something good to eat. I'm going to change my clothes!"

"Go change your clothes. After you change your clothes, I will wake up the two children and prepare dinner!"

.......

"I've put the mutton and canned food you asked for in the utility room. You can take them away tomorrow. These are distributed to the people in the shop.

The New Year goods for Uncle Niu and Uncle Pian have also been put away, separate from the mutton in the utility room.

There was also a large cake, a case of drinks, and some chicken nuggets marinated in the cellar.

Tomorrow you can ask Wu Ma to fry some chicken for Hou Kui. Fried chicken tastes better when it is fried right away.

When frying chicken, add more oil, put the chicken pieces in the oil, and fry them over high heat for five or six minutes. Stir the chicken pieces with a colander two or three times to make sure they are evenly fried, and that's it! "

"I know, everyone can make fried chicken. Hou Kui didn't have fried chicken, so he kept thinking about you while eating cake and didn't think about me at all! The New Year's benefits were distributed today!" Chen Xueru was jealous again.

“It was distributed today. All New Year benefits are distributed today.

After watching for more than ten years, Hou Kui is tired of seeing you, and he can't even fry chicken! In the future, when I am free, I will teach Hou Kui to make cakes by himself. In my home, Jia Jia, Yu Shui learned to make cakes. "

"I'll ask Wu Ma and Hou Kui to learn it!"

“You are lazy every day!”

“I’m not lazy. Four people from the Municipal First Construction Company came yesterday. They seemed to be technicians and took a look at the shops to be rebuilt.

It's not difficult. They just demolished it and rebuilt it. Only one side is connected to someone else's house. They rebuilt it at the end of March or the beginning of April and came to me. The empty shop will do! "

"Then just wait for them to rebuild!"

“They didn’t mention the fee!”

"Don't worry about it. They will ask for it. They can give it a lower price, but they won't refuse it. If they still don't want it when they start the work, you can ask again. There are still two months left."

"Okay, I get it. Since yesterday, fewer people have ordered custom clothes for the New Year. More people are buying ready-made clothes!"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's too late to order custom clothes. It's also good to buy ready-made clothes!"

......

Not only Chen Xueru's shop is doing good business, as the New Year is approaching, almost all shops are doing well.

Even the employees who worked in the steel rolling mill, such as He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others, basically sold their family's daily share at the factory.

Snacks are also very popular during the Chinese New Year. Leaders of steel rolling mills all buy them, and they buy in bags of 50 or 100 kilograms.

They need connections to celebrate the New Year.

Because Cao Dongfang was in that courtyard, the leaders never bargained for prices. They would buy at the same price as the employees paid and did not care about the small amount of money.

For this reason, Siheyuan started making more snacks in the half month before the Chinese New Year so that everyone could sell them and make money, as long as they were not tired.

Now He Daqing and three others work only at 11 o'clock before they take a break. Of course, the labor cost has risen to 1 cent per pound, but no one cares. It is as it should be and is just an unplanned snack.

Snacks included in the plan are still five cents per pound.

The children in the compound have been on vacation for the past half month and are selling snacks to make money.

I have indeed made a lot of money, which is good. At least I have enough money to buy a house and a job, and there is no problem for four or five children to get married.

Many people were grateful to Cao Dongfang because they knew that this was Cao Dongfang's idea, not He Daqing or Qin Huairu's.

The most depressed person now is Qin Jingru. She can buy a job, but it is just a small amount of money.

But as long as she leaves the courtyard, she will no longer have a share of one kilogram. Now she has a share of fifty kilograms.

The main thing is that she is Qin Huairu's sister, has lived in the compound for four years, has no bad intentions, and is a little bit fierce, so it's not a big problem, she only has 50 kilograms of share!

Once she leaves the courtyard gate, her money will be gone. This is a huge sum of money, much more than what they earn from the price difference.

One month is equivalent to two years.

Anyone who is not stupid will consider it.

Not to mention that she is just an outsider, even when the other children in the compound grow up they may not dare to talk about dividing the family property because they earned too little money in the past.

But I can't bear to give up this job. I work hard, and no one cares if I'm a little tired. As long as I can make a lot of money, that's enough.

The No. 95 courtyard is really envied by other courtyards, but there is nothing they can do.

"Grandma Wang and the others shouldn't move away," this is what Cao's mother said in July.

I don’t know, there’s nothing I can do about it.

No one is stupid enough to know how they could move away.

"Dad, why is this dish called Longjing Shrimp? It looks good and tastes good!"

"Longjing, formerly known as Longhong. Spring water gurgles out of a stone cave all year round. Legend has it that when people dug wells to fight drought in the Ming Dynasty, a large dragon-shaped stone was dug out from the bottom of the well, so it was called "Longjing"!

'Longjing' is a place name.

The production of tea in the Longjing area has been recorded since the Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, he not only enjoyed the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but also visited many tea producing areas and tasted various famous teas of the south of the Yangtze River.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong drank Longjing tea at Hu Gong Temple in Shifeng, Hangzhou, and appreciated its delicious taste, clear water and subtle fragrance, so he named the 18 tea trees in front of the temple "Imperial Tea".

Later, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty brought back the new Longjing tea presented by tea farmers to Guangangsong back to the palace.

When the imperial chef was frying the "Jade White Shrimp", he was probably inspired by other famous West Lake dishes and added Longjing tea leaves to the dish, making a bold innovation in cooking skills. This dish not only uses unique ingredients, but also the heat is just right.

When making it, the imperial chef greases the pan with oil and then puts in cooked lard, then immediately puts in the battered shrimps, frying them for about 15 seconds, then pours them into a colander to drain the oil, then puts them in with new tea soaked in boiling water, sprays them with cooking wine, tosses them on the fire, and takes the pan off the stove. Thus, the famous dish "Longjing Shrimp" was created!

The shrimp in "Longjing Shrimp" is jade white, with an attractive fragrance and is extremely tender when eaten; the buds and leaves of Longjing are emerald green, fragrant, elegant in color, and have a unique taste. After eating, it is refreshing and appetizing, with an endless aftertaste. It is a unique dish in Hangzhou cuisine and has become the most famous traditional dish in Hangzhou.

This is the origin of this dish. You don’t have to remember it. If it tastes good, just eat more! "

"Got it, Dad, eat a few more pieces!"
