Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 47 The Surprising Meal

Li Lin looked at Yue Lao who was a little unhappy in front of him and said

"Old Yue, are you here to find me?"

Mr. Yue said, "I came here to ask you how your recent studies have been. After all, it's been almost a month.

Second, I heard that you became the chef in the factory."

He just went on a business trip recently, and when he came back, he heard that Li Lin had become a cook in the factory.

This undoubtedly made him very angry, after all, he wanted to train Li Lin to become a senior engineer.

Instead of taking the time to study, Li Lin went to cook for the people in the factory, which disappointed him.

Li Lin could clearly feel Mr. Yue's displeasure.

"This is what happened with Mr. Yue. People in the factory complained about the poor food, and then the factory couldn't find a solution. They could only solve it in terms of taste.

Then I heard that I was good at cooking, so I approached me.”

Mr. Yue said, "So you agreed without hesitation?"

Li Lin said, "I refused at first, after all, I want to study hard in this month, and then I can worship Yue Lao as my master.

But I couldn't stand the repeated requests of the leaders, and they also promised to give me two kilograms of bacon every month, so I reluctantly agreed.

But don’t worry, Mr. Yue, I only cook twice a week, so I won’t waste too much time.”

Mr. Yue snorted and said, "I think it's because of those two pounds of bacon that you agreed to cook."

Li Lin was a little embarrassed to hear this, but fortunately, Yue Lao didn't pursue it any further.

When Mr. Yue saw Li Lin like this, he became very angry.

“I’m not an unreasonable person when I give you this.

I also know that every household is very difficult now, and your family also needs those two catties of bacon very much.

But I tell you that you must not fall behind in your study progress. If you fall behind, then your two kilograms of bacon will be gone."

Li Lin took the things that Mr. Yue handed over and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yue, I will never lag behind my study progress. By the way, Mr. Yue, what are you handing me?"

Hearing this, Elder Yue said, "Look for yourself."

After saying this, Mr. Yue left.

Li Lin looked at the cloth-wrapped thing curiously, and when he uncovered the cloth, he found that it was a golden chicken biscuit.

In this era, golden chicken biscuits are not available to ordinary people, and even more rare in this era.

Li Lin looked around and found no one, then wrapped it in cloth again, and returned to the technical department pretending to be nonchalant.

Soon it was time to eat.

Li Lin came to the canteen, and the workers saw Li Lin greeting him enthusiastically.

"Does Li Lin have your hot and sour potato shreds today?"

Li Lin shook his head and said, "No."

When the workers heard this, they immediately asked in surprise, "Why?"

The director of the canteen personally promised them that Li Lin would often cook for them in the future.

Li Lin said, "Didn't the canteen director tell you that I only cook twice a week?"

The workers heard this and said "No"

While he was talking to this worker.

A worker stood up and said loudly, "What happened today? This hot and sour potato shreds don't taste right at all."

More and more people are echoing this worker.

Seeing that more and more people were complaining, Shazhu stood up and said, "Today, I fried the hot and sour potato shreds, not Li Lin. You can eat it if you want to, and no one will force you if you don't want to eat it."

At this time, some workers were unconvinced and said, "The director of the cafeteria promised us Li Lin's hot and sour potato shreds, but we can often eat them."

Sha Zhu was also unambiguous when he heard this, "Do you know what is often?

In other words, you can’t eat Li Lin’s fried spicy and sour potato shreds every time.”

This sentence left the worker speechless.

Silly Zhu saw that it was time, so he said, "The director asked me to tell you that Li Lin's cooking is done on Tuesday and Friday.

If you want to eat the dishes he cooks, you have to come early tomorrow, otherwise you can’t blame us if you’re late.”

After saying this, Sha Zhu started cooking again, but he was not in a good mood.

Originally, he didn't fry hot and sour potato shreds today, but he was still a little unconvinced.

So he took the initiative to stir-fry hot and sour potato shreds, wanting to see what the people in the factory would say.

For this scene, he practiced hard for a few days, just to satisfy the workers.

The result disappointed him greatly. It seemed that his culinary skills could not compare with Li Lin at this time, but he believed that he would be able to compare with Li Lin in the future.

"This silly Zhu still wants to compete with Lao San in his cooking skills. Let him just dream."

Li He said disdainfully.

Li Shugong said, "Cousin, have you really separated?"

Li He said, "I divided it yesterday."

Li Shuwei said curiously, "We live together well, why do we have to separate?"

Li He looked at Li Shan who was talking to his co-workers with a vague look and said, "It's not like our three brothers have already married and started a business, and can live alone, so dad asked us to separate our families."

Just when Li Lin finished his day's work and was about to ride home.

Si Zhu stopped him out of breath and said, "I finally caught up. Li Lin, please give me a ride."

Li Lin said with some doubts, "Usually you go home slowly, why are you in such a hurry now? Let me drive you home"

Silly Zhu couldn't help complaining when he heard this and said, "The uncle asked me to cook for the group of people who are eating together. I don't have to prepare it in advance."

Li Lin said with some doubts, "I remember that you didn't seem to eat with them, why did you cook?"

Silly Zhu said, "It's not that the first and second uncles came to me yesterday night and asked me to help them cook, but I only cook today's meal, and the rest has nothing to do with me."

Li Lin felt that things were not that simple, but he didn't know what was wrong with it.

Li Lin said, "Then get in the car."

Silly Zhu was very happy to hear this and said, "Open up!"

Silly Zhu sat on Li Lin's bicycle, saw the cloth bag hanging on the handlebar and said

"Li Lin, what good thing is this? It looks a bit like a pot."

Li Lin said, "Mr. Yue gave it to me. As for what it is, don't ask about it."

Silly Zhu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. After all, they didn't want to tell him, and he didn't have the shame to ask others.

Soon Li Lin drove Silly Zhu to the yard.

And the third master has been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Si Zhu is waiting for you, all the ingredients are ready."

Silly Zhu got off Li Lin's bicycle and said, "Since everything is ready, leave the rest to me."

The third master heard this and said, "Just wait for your words, come with me"

As soon as Li Lin entered the yard, he saw tables, benches and prepared ingredients in the yard.

If he didn't know that it was a partnership eating together, he would have thought the dinner was over.

After Li Lin parked his bicycle, he came to Sha Zhu's side curiously.

Looking at the ingredients in front of him, he couldn't help but said, "Is this a bit too extravagant?"

At this time, Shazhu was processing the ingredients and couldn't help but said, "It's really a bit too extravagant. There are fish and eggs, which makes me hungry."

Although he, Silly Zhu, can help others prepare banquets and have a good meal, fewer and fewer people have asked him to serve banquets in recent times, and he is no longer as enjoyable as before.

Even according to the frequency of banquets in the past, most of the time he ate exactly the same as ordinary people.

So now he is very greedy looking at the ingredients in front of him.

At this time, the third master happily carried a pair of pigs into the water and came in front of Shazhu.

"Silly Zhu, do you know how to do it?"

Silly Zhu looked at the pig in front of him and said, "Third uncle, where did you get this?"

You must know that there is no fresh pork on the market now, and what is available is bacon.

So this aroused Silly Zhu's curiosity, where did the pig get into the water?It looks very fresh.

The third master said, "This is from the father of the apprentice of the first master. I ask you if you can do it."

Silly Zhu touched the pig's water and said "Yes"

Li Lin was a little surprised on the side. He didn't expect that the first master would have such a relationship.

To be able to get this kind of pig into the water, it is obvious that you know the people in the pig farm.

I'm afraid that the father of the apprentice in the pig farm of the uncle should be from the pig farm.

Li Lin really guessed that the pigs were very close to the water. The uncle knew that his apprentice's father was a pig farmer, so he got it on purpose.

As for why the uncle wanted to get pig waste, it was because he knew that Silly Zhu could handle the pig waste and it tasted good.

The third uncle continued, "I won't fry these eggs. Today I will make fish and eat this pig in the water."

Shazhu heard this and said, "It's okay to talk about other things in this water, but the pork belly and pig intestines are very difficult to deal with.

It’s a lot of vinegar alone. Third uncle, are you sure you have enough vinegar for me to wash the pork belly and intestines?
If it is not handled well, it will have a nasty taste in your mouth. "

The third master heard this and said, "I can't get this vinegar."

You must know that the reason why most people don't like to eat pig offal at this time is because they can't cover up the original taste of pig offal.

The reason is because of the scarcity of seasonings.

Silly Zhu said, "If you don't have vinegar, wine will do."

The third uncle heard this and said, "Then I'll get you a drink."

Silly Zhu said, "Third uncle, please don't bring your wine that's been mixed with an unknown amount of water. Don't blame me if it tastes bad."

The third master was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

At this time, people in the courtyard also came back one after another.

Those who didn't eat together were surprised when they saw this scene. They didn't expect to eat so well.

The people dining together were also a little surprised, but they were more happy, after all, they could have a good meal.

Jia Dongxu came to his mother's side and said, "Mother, I said that my master will definitely not lie to the two of us. Isn't this scene the best proof?"

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhang couldn't say anything, after all, the facts were in front of him.

All she wants now is to have dinner as soon as possible.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong came back, the third master went up and said, "Which one of you two has wine in your house, Sha Zhu will use it to wash the pig intestines and belly."

Liu Haizhong wanted to refuse when he heard this, but he thought that he had already paid such a high price, so he said cruelly, "Come with me, I will get you wine"

Li Lin saw Father Li and Mother Li coming back and returned home.

Father Li said, "I took a look just now, and the food is not bad."

Li Lin said, "There are fish, eggs, and pigs, which are very rich."

Li He swallowed his saliva and said, "If I knew it was so rich, I would have mixed it up too."

Father Li gave Li He a sideways look when he heard this and said, "Go, anyway, the family is separated now, and I will definitely not interfere with your behavior."

Li He laughed a few times when he heard this, and then turned his attention to the cloth bag in Li Lin's hand.

"Third, what is in your hand?"

When Li Lin heard this, he took out the golden chicken biscuits and said, "This is what Mr. Yue gave me."

When Li He saw the golden chicken biscuit, his eyes almost went straight and he said, "Old Yue is really kind to you, he can give you a box of golden chicken biscuit."

Li Lin didn't say anything, he just opened the golden chicken biscuits.

Then distributed it to my parents, as well as my eldest brother, my second brother, and Xiao Ruoyan.

"Big Brother and Second Brother, besides the two of you, there are also sister-in-law and sister-in-law's shares."

Li Shan said, "I understand."

Mother Li took a bite of the golden chicken biscuit and said

“Delicious”

Father Li also took a bite and found that it was indeed good.

“Silly Zhu, please be less”

The bangs looked painfully as Shazhu poured wine into the pork belly and intestines.

You know, he usually only takes one or two sips to taste it, but Silly Zhu drank more than half of the bottle for him.

Silly Zhu stopped the movement of his hands when he heard this, and said, "Second uncle, I have already shown mercy, otherwise I would have to continue with this bottle according to my previous habits."

The uncle said comfortingly, "When you eat slowly, you will definitely feel that it is worth it."

The second uncle heard this and could only say helplessly, "I hope so"

After taking care of everything, Shazhu also started cooking.

Mrs. Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of cooking in the air and couldn't help but said with emotion, "This stupid cooking is delicious, I feel like the gluttons in my stomach are about to be hooked out."

The three mothers on the side smiled and said, "Even if it wasn't fried by Shazhu, I'm afraid your gluttons will be hooked out, because it tastes like scrambled eggs."

Jia Zhang nodded in agreement when she heard this, because she hadn't tasted scrambled eggs for a long time.

But in her heart, she wanted to take advantage as much as she could, but she wouldn't be able to take advantage in the future.

Although she has indeed handed over a perfect answer now, she still doesn't believe that such a scene can be done often.
