Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu
Chapter 35 Tan Family Cuisine
Lou Zhenhua took the initiative to introduce: "Xiao Han, this is my wife, her last name is Tan."
Han Li greeted with a smile: "Aunt Tan, hello."
Hearing this address, a hint of doubt flashed in Tan Xiaoli's beautiful eyes, but when she saw that her husband was not unhappy, she immediately understood and the smile on her face became much more friendly.
After smiling and nodding to Han Li and greeting him, Tan Xiaoli walked over to Lou Zhenhua and whispered something.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lou Xiao'e asked excitedly: "Brother Xiaohan, can you play badminton? Let's go play badminton."
The next second, Boss Lou took over the conversation: "Xiao Han, life depends on exercise, and you might as well stretch your muscles."
The preparation process of Tan’s cuisine is relatively complicated and takes a long time. It is still early before dinner time, and we cannot let the customers wait in the meantime.
Boss Lou was originally thinking about arranging for Han Li to watch a movie, but his daughter suggested playing badminton, which was also a good idea, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.
"Okay." Han Li had no reason to refuse. "But I've never played badminton before, so I need you to teach me more, Xiao'e."
Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry. Brother Xiaohan, it's easy to learn."
It must be because it was a rare opportunity to find a playmate, Lou Xiao'e was so happy that her eyes were curved and her happiness was written all over her face.
The Lou family has a special indoor venue for playing badminton, so they don’t have to worry about the weather and wind speed.
If you ask, how long does it take for a badminton novice to become proficient? Han Li only needs 10 minutes.
At this moment, Han Li was able to play back and forth with Lou Xiao'e, and it would often take several minutes for them to pick up the ball.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that Han Li did not need to smash and was just playing with Lou Xiaoe the whole time.
Tan Xiaoli, who was standing by, couldn't help but praise him: "Xiao Han is very talented in sports. He plays better than me."
Lou Zhenhua complained casually: "You can't play a few times a month, it would be strange if you can play well."
Tan Xiaoli pouted and snorted, then stopped talking.
But seeing her daughter's happy expression, she soon became happy too.
I have to say, the happiness of rich people is unimaginable; following the Lou family, you don’t have to worry about food and drink. When you take a break after playing badminton, you not only have a clean towel to wipe the sweat, but also freshly squeezed juice to quench your thirst.
Speaking of fruits, Han Li suddenly remembered that he had been here for almost half a month and had not eaten even a single piece of fruit.
Han Li really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: I have brought shame to our time-traveling army!
By the time we finished playing ball, it was already dark outside the window.
Just as Han Li was about to leave, Lou Bancheng said with a smile, "Xiao Han, you've worked hard today. Stay for a quick meal later."
"Uncle Lou, sorry to bother you." Han Li smiled embarrassedly and thought to himself, it's really hard work, eating, drinking and having fun all the time, I'm exhausted.
Afterwards, Han Li, led by Boss Lou, came to the restaurant and sat down according to the primary and secondary seats.
There weren't many people, just the Lou family of three and Han Li.
However, the "simple meal" that Boss Lou mentioned really opened Han Li's eyes. There were six dishes in the first wave: barbecued pork, braised duck liver, garlic scallops, spiced fish, soft fried chicken, and grilled sausages.
Then the fragrant Shaoxing rice wine was served, and Lou Bancheng greeted him warmly: "Xiao Han, you are happy today, let's drink some too."
The guest should follow the host's wishes. Han Li certainly couldn't refuse. He also wanted to taste what the good things of this era were like.
After tasting it, Han Li only had one thought in his mind: Oh my god, what is this? It's so delicious! Really! I have never eaten anything so delicious in my life! Mm, another bite!
After eating and drinking for a while, the dishes served in succession included braised black sea cucumber, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, vegetarian stew with white fungus, and steamed mandarin fish.
The dazzling array of dishes on the table alone dazzled Han Li, and he began to worry about which dish to eat first.
At this time, Tan Xiaoli said with an apologetic look: "Xiao Han, we were in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare a few main dishes. I hope you can forgive me for my poor hospitality. When I have everything ready another day, I will definitely treat you to a meal of the most authentic Tan family cuisine."
Han Li responded quickly: "Aunt Tan, you are so polite. I am flattered by your family's hospitality. This is the best and most sumptuous meal I have ever had in my life."
Han Li knew the etiquette of the dinner table and did not make any jokes, so both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal.
After eating and drinking tea, Han Li stood up and said goodbye.
Boss Lou waved his hand and said, "I'll ask the driver to take you back."
"I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Lou." Han Li knew that these days were not as safe as in later generations. Out of consideration for his life, he had to agree.
"You kid, you didn't learn anything else, but you learned all these polite words."
But it must be said that Han Li's politeness is also the basis for both the host and the guests to have a good time. Compared with those who don't know the rules, polite people get along better with each other.
Han Li scratched his head embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e, who was pouting and looking reluctant, asked: "Brother Xiaohan, can you come and tell me a story again tomorrow?"
"Ezi, stop making trouble. Your brother Xiao Han is not a professional storyteller. He has his own job and life. How about we invite your brother Xiao Han to our home next weekend?"
With Han Li telling stories, Tan Xiaoli had a very relaxing weekend and naturally thought about having Han Li come again next weekend.
Lou Xiao'e nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and was already looking forward to having fun with brother Xiao Han next weekend.
After saying goodbye to the Lou family, Han Li got into the car and left.
Han Li enjoyed the life of a rich man today and he almost didn't want to leave.
Although he had drunk a lot of wine, Han Li was still clear-headed. He still wanted to be the sixth and did not want to be too conspicuous, so he asked the driver to stop a hundred meters away from the No. 95 courtyard.
When they got home, Li's mother immediately started to nag with concern: "Big brother, where have you been? Why did you come back so late? Have you eaten?"
Han Li did come back late today, so his family naturally worried about him.
"I met a friend in the bookstore today. He treated me to dinner and I drank some wine. So I came back late."
There were some things that Han Li couldn't explain in detail, fearing that the Han family's young hearts wouldn't be able to accept it.
After all, knowing more is often not a good thing. The simpler the life, the happier it is.
At this moment, Han Xiaoxiao pulled Da Guo's trouser legs and said in a pleading tone: "Da Guo, can you accompany me to the new room to sleep?"
In the past, we didn’t have the conditions and the whole family was squeezed into two rooms. Now everyone basically has their own room, and my younger sister Han Xiaoxiao should learn to sleep alone.
"Okay, Da Guo will coax you to sleep tonight." Han Li knew that his sister was afraid of sleeping alone, so he said with a smile: "But what if Da Guo drinks alcohol and Xiao Xiao can't sleep?"
Han Xiaoxiao covered her nose with her hands: "Then I'll cover my nose, so the smoke won't reach me."
Han Xiaoxiao's words made the whole family laugh out loud, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful.
At this moment, a sharp gong sound was heard, and Han Li was speechless: Is it because the feng shui of this courtyard house No. 95 is bad that so many troubles come from?
