Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 118 The apprentice comes home for dinner, and the Lou family officially cancels the engagement

He Yuzhu heard the sound of breaking glass, but He Yuzhu didn't care. As long as the glass in his home was not broken, it had nothing to do with him. What He Yuzhu had to do was to let Banggeng intensify the conflict between himself and Siheyuan to the maximum.

And He Yuzhu also told his family not to join in the fun if anything happens outside.

When other people in the courtyard heard the sound of broken glass, they all came out to watch the fun, because the broken glass did not belong to their own family, and it was difficult to hold a court to hold them accountable. All this would have to wait until those families who broke the glass came back from their New Year greetings and shouted angrily. insulted.

The temporary peace also made Banggian feel a lot safer. He felt that if He Yuzhu did not compromise this time, then he would do bigger things and make sure He Yuzhu continued to give him money.

Thinking that he would soon be rich, Banggeng, who was still nervous, fell into a deep sleep.

"Master, we are here!"

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and three of He Yuzhu's apprentices made an appointment to come to pay New Year's greetings. Some people may ask, why did these three apprentices come to pay New Year's greetings so early? Didn't they go to their relatives' homes first?

You are wrong.

Because the master is your closest relative, there is a saying that says, master and disciple are like father and son. The master gives you skills so that you can survive in this world, and he is your reborn parent.

Normally in this kind of master-apprentice relationship, the apprentice needs to pay New Year's greetings between 20:23 and 60:[-] on New Year's Eve, but there is no phone in the [-]s, and He Yuzhu's three apprentices do not live in his home.

Therefore, it is reasonable to come to pay New Year greetings early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Three guys, Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua, and Yu Haiyang. When they entered the house, they bowed to him immediately. The three of them were also extremely respectful to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu had actually been inspecting these three guys during this period.

Why inspect?

He Yuzhu actually wanted to leave the task of delivering Bangzi Noodles to the residents of Daxi Mountain to these three boys. Each person would be given one yuan a night. You don’t know that He Yuzhu ran to Daxi Mountain every night for the sake of two thousand happiness points. , I was exhausted. Fortunately, He Yuzhu was the cook and the deputy director, but he was lazy from time to time. If I had to wait until the time when I was studying in the fitter workshop, there would be no way.

It’s busy both during the day and at night, and even an iron man can’t handle it.

Among the three people, He Yuzhu, who is loyal to MCA, believes that although Yang Zhuangzhuang is naive, he respects his teachers very much, and Yu Haiyang is also quite good because of his relationship with Yu Haitang.

During the investigation, when the three people bowed to him when they saw him today, He Yuzhu made a decision to let these three boys do it for him when he finds an opportunity. He Yuzhu believed in these three boys.

"Come, come, come and eat, eat, eat.!"

He Yuyu looked at his brother's three apprentices. Although they were all older than him, they were his juniors. They did not hesitate to take out all his favorite snacks.

As soon as these snacks appeared, He Yuzhu's three apprentices were stunned.

Because these snacks are really too high-end. You must know that the last snacks the three of them ate yesterday were Iraqi dates and Cuban candy. This is considered high-end, but now the chocolates, white rabbits, wafer biscuits, and even the Arctic Ocean are available in front of them.

"Can I eat them all?"

The three of them were a little in disbelief. Looking at the silly looks of his brother's three apprentices, He Yuyu smiled happily: "You can eat them all. Eat as much as you can. I have plenty of these snacks at home. I will pack some for you when I go back."

"Hey." At this time, He Yuzhu, who came back from outside, laughed in surprise: "When did my sister become so generous?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? When did I stop being generous?" He Yuyu got angry and whispered, "Brother, don't make trouble. After all, I am their senior sister and their elder."

"Ah." He Yuzhu chuckled. He finally understood why He Yuzhu was so generous. This little girl was pretending to be an elder!

With more people in the family, it became lively. Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua, and Yu Haiyang were not restrained and started playing with He Yueyue, Yu Haitang, Zhou Guoping and Zhou Guoan.

After setting off cannons outside, he came back to play mahjong, listened to the crosstalk on the radio, and ate snacks on the table. He Yuzhu gave each of them a 30-yuan red envelope.

This is the Spring Festival for children in the city. If it were a rural area, children all over the village would be playing with firecrackers.

Every rural household has the custom of setting off cannons on New Year's Eve.

Basically every New Year's Eve, those rural children start to wait for the firecrackers to finish setting off. As soon as the sound of firecrackers stops, they quickly pick up the flashlight and run out, looking for unburned firecrackers with their friends, and throw out one A intact firecracker was put into the pocket.

Because there are many friends picking up cannons, sometimes they have to fight and grab them, and the scene is quite intense and interesting.

After dawn, which is the first day of the new year, the friends get together and play happily setting off firecrackers.

Children in rural areas also have many ways of setting off firecrackers. Sometimes they hold incense in one hand and a cannon in the other. After lighting it, they immediately throw it into the air and watch the exploding red cannon paper falling. Sometimes they use broken basins or old buckets to cover the lit firecrackers. , listen to the sound effect caused by the sound of the cannon; sometimes the firecrackers are buried in the soil, leaving only the core, and lit to see how powerful it is.

But no matter what kind of gameplay, the children enjoyed it, and the sound of cannons became the most cheerful and joyful music during the Chinese New Year in their childhood.

At noon, it was time to eat, and today was the first time that his apprentice came to his home for dinner, so He Yuzhu was also particularly heavy-handed, with a total of
Four cold dishes: fried crunch, mustard dumplings, pork skin jelly, colorful peanuts;

Four hot stir-fries: braised carp, braised sea cucumber with green onions, stir-fried shrimps, and braised squid;
Four meat dishes: rice noodles with pork, Sixi meatballs, braised pork elbow, twice-cooked pork;

Four soup dishes: braised three delicacies, dried shredded milk soup, whole corn stew, and eight-treasure shabu-shabu;
People who are not short of money in Sijiu City should pay attention to this: four cold, four hot, four meat, four soup dishes, "four and four bottoms out".

Of course, for most ordinary families, the whole family works together to show their talents, and the number of dishes is much more than usual. Generally, they pay attention to "four plates and eight bowls", that is, four plates of cold dishes, eight Bowls of hot dishes, mostly home-cooked dishes.Cold dishes include pork head, braised pork ribs, frozen pork skin, and hot dishes include braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised chicken, etc.

However, He Yuzhu is rich, so what he does is more formal.

Fried Crunch Box. This is a BJ snack that is older than Sijiucheng City. Crunch Box is also a common New Year dish.

After the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was opened to navigation, boatmen brought back crispy pancakes from Shandong. However, due to exposure to moisture over time, the pancakes became soft and unpleasant in the mouth.Careful people roll the pancakes into rolls and cut them into sections and fry them. They taste crispy and fragrant and do not deteriorate over time.

During the Chinese New Year, the creaking box can not only be used as snacks to entertain guests, but can also be used to make soup, stuffing, charred, stir-fried, and can be meat or vegetarian.There are also mustard dumplings. People in [-] cities will make mustard dumplings. Peel off the old cabbage, cut it into inch-high cubes with a horizontal knife, put it on a colander, and use a spoon to continuously scoop up the boiling water. Pour it on the vegetable mound until the cabbage begins to soften, that is, place it one layer at a time in a clay pot, and sprinkle a layer of mustard on top of it. Sprinkle white sugar and a little vinegar on the mustard.In this way, the layers are coded layer by layer, and finally the earthen pot is tightly sealed with a cotton mat, and it can be eaten in about two or three days.

The mustard dumpling tastes spicy and makes you want to cry, but it is crispy and sweet in your mouth, making you want to stop eating it.During the Chinese New Year, there will inevitably be big fish and meat. Eating two mustard dumplings will definitely play a refreshing and appetizing role.

Twice-cooked pork is a classic among Laosijiucheng rice dishes, with connotations and endless aftertaste.The characteristics of twice-cooked pork are: unique taste, bright red color, fat but not greasy, and strong aroma in the mouth.

Once the dishes on He Yuzhu's table are served, when the three apprentices go back to learn from their families, their families will also know how much He Yuzhu values ​​his children.

This is how the people of Laosijiucheng treat guests.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. Master, the food you cook is really delicious."

"It's just that no matter how much I eat, I can't get enough."

"Twice-cooked pork is delicious. The carp must be Yellow River carp. Yes, I asked last time and it cost more than 20 yuan!"

"Master, you spent a lot of money!"

He Yuzhu looked at his three apprentices with a smile and said, "Eat more if you like, and stay for dinner in the evening before leaving. I feel like your family has become lively."

"I can!" Ma Hua quickly raised his hand: "I want to live with you, Master. I can eat well, play well, and be so happy."

"Me too." Yang Zhuangzhuang said with an angry and silly smile: "I like eating meat the most, but I can't play mahjong, it's too difficult. Also, no matter what I play, I don't play with money."

"Haha...!" He Yuyu and Yu Haitang both chuckled.

At this time, Yu Haiyang also smiled: "We are all willing to follow Master, and as long as Master says, we will do whatever he says!"

"Yeah!" The other two boys also nodded firmly.

"Then let's go sell melon seeds together." He Yuyu suddenly said.

"Selling melon seeds?" Yang Zhuangzhuang, MCA, Yu Haiyang was surprised.

"You can make ten bucks a night."

He Yuzhu didn't even have time to stop him, He Yuzhu already said it like a machine gun.

"Can you earn ten yuan a night?" Yang Zhuangzhuang, MCA, and Yu Haiyang were shocked again.

"Brother, you still don't believe them. These people are your apprentices and the people you can trust the most. If you don't want to believe them, then there is really no one you can trust."

"Hiss!" He Yuzhu felt that it made sense after listening to He Yuzhu's words. These three apprentices should be the people He Yuzhu can trust the most now. If he doesn't even believe in them, then how can he expand his third position? A pot of gold.

After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu said: "Eat first, and then talk after eating."

"Yeah...!" He Yuyu was overjoyed, and Yu Haitang on the other side was also excited.

On the other hand, Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua, and Yu Haiyang were still a little confused.

After finishing the meal, the dishes and chopsticks were put away, and then He Yuzhu actively talked to He Yuzhu about selling melon seeds. It seemed that this little girl was very positive. From such a positive attitude, we can know that this little girl is real. It's not reading material.

He Yuzhu sighed. But, to be honest, even if He Yuzhu is the material for studying, it is meaningless in this era, because soon after the wind blows, this study will no longer be possible.

Everyone is destitute. The best future is to go to various health districts and become a guard. It is basically impossible to rely on studying.

So He Yuzhu had no choice. Under He Yuzhu's active encouragement, He Yuzhu gathered everyone together and told them what he wanted to do. Because they were all his own people here, He Yuzhu dared to say it, otherwise He Yuzhu wouldn't say it.

After He Yuzhu talked about selling melon seeds, Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua, and Yu Haiyang were a little scared at first. But when Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua, and Yu Haiyang heard that Li Xiuniang had been selling melon seeds for a long time and had made more than 100 When I bought it, my heart immediately moved.

These days, you are poor. The poorer you are, the more you know the benefits of money.

Life with money is different. With money, you can complete your studies, pursue a more ideal life, live a more fulfilling life, be filial to your parents, pay off debts, etc.

Money can solve worries, such as helping the family pay off debts, giving more money to parents, and subsidizing the family more.

People of this era know the importance of money best, so when they heard that Li Xiuniang had made a lot of money, the eyes of Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua and Yu Haiyang became a little brighter.

Although the three of them did not express their opinions on the spot, all three of them said that they would go back and discuss it. This attitude was very good and prudent enough. If the three guys immediately agreed without saying a word as soon as they heard that it was so profitable, then He Yuzhu would be worried. Why? Not stable enough. What He Yuzhu is doing now is not a good thing. It is stealing and stealing. If he is caught, he will be sent to a prison cell, so He Yuzhu needs to be cautious.

After talking about this matter, Yang Zhuangzhuang, Ma Hua, and Yu Haiyang played at He Yuzhu's house again until dinner before leaving. He Yuzhu's family had a happy day today, but the other courtyard houses did not have such a good time on the first day of the new year. alright.

First of all, those people in the courtyard whose glasses were broken. Oh my god, I was going to celebrate the New Year happily. When I came back, I found that the glass in my house had been tempered by someone who didn’t know who it was. Who do you think you should leave this matter alone? Who will feel better.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a group of old ladies whose house had been shattered cursed each other for more than an hour at the door of their house. They shouted such unpleasant words. Bangge was so frightened that he hid in his house and spent the whole night. Didn't come out.

However, unfortunately, because there is no evidence, it is impossible to determine who did it, so we can only curse. Even if everyone knows that it was the little kid who did it, but there is no evidence, there is no way to trouble the little kid. So I can only scold and use the most unpleasant words.

Besides this awesome joke, who else in the courtyard is having a bad year?

Haha, that's our Xu Damao, because just now, the Lou family officially broke off the engagement.
