Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 28 The second aunt is envious
"This Tan family dish is a government dish. It is the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. It is also called the No. [-] dish because it was ranked No. [-] in the second year of Tongzhi."

"The cooking methods of Tan's cuisine are mainly roasting, stewing, simmering, cooking, and steaming. Tan's cuisine is good at dry food processing, and is good at cooking Haibazhen with stock and old fire."

"You also heard that Tan Zongjun is an official. How can an official cook?"

"And my ancestor was the chef in Tan Zongjun's family."

It turned out to be like this, and Chen Xueru suddenly said: "Then you can make a table for our family someday."

He Daqing remained calm and said with dignity: "It's easy to make a table, but these ingredients..."

Chen Xueru smiled and understood.

But things that can be solved with money are not things.

"I understand, we are responsible for the ingredients ourselves."

"In addition, I will give you 5 yuan for the crafting fee."

He Daqing was also quick and agreed directly after hearing the words.

"Okay, then it's settled."

The labor cost of 5 yuan is enough to make five tables of noodles. Tan's cuisine requires skills and time, but it is also valuable. 5 yuan is a lot.

"It's settled, just tell Xiuzhu what materials you need later."

"..."

Lao He prepared a lot of dishes. These days, it’s really hard to finish the dishes that cost 8 yuan.

By the end of the meal, there was still a lot left.

Not only vegetables but also meat.

Everyone packed some of the rest, and Mrs. Jia Zhang and Aunt Sun moved faster.

I was stunned and grabbed three vegetable plates with meat left on them.

This is enough for a whole new dish.

Lao He didn't grab it, there were some left in the kitchen.

"There are a total of 5 major dishes left in my kitchen. Dongpo pork elbow, twice-cooked pork, saliva chicken, Kung Pao chicken and fish-flavored shredded pork."

"There are also two and a half meat dishes, mapo tofu and ants climbing the tree."

"I'll save three dishes. You are the host, so you choose first."

Li Xiuzhu was shocked, but he didn't expect that this would leave him food for tomorrow.

But he was not polite. Now that He Daqing had spoken, it was obviously his share.

"Lao He is so angry that you even left a portion for me."

He Daqing heard the words and said righteously: "In our line of work, we must be careful."

"One, just cook and don't worry about anything."

"Two, take what you should take. You are welcome to take what belongs to you. Don't touch what doesn't belong to you."

“It’s important to have three dishes for a banquet. Any more would be impolite.”

Li Xiuzhu smiled. After meeting the people in the courtyard, he realized that the fan fiction was too exaggerated to be so violent.

At least he hasn't seen any strange people except Jia Zhang.

Although the people here have shortcomings, they also have many advantages.

"Then leave me the Dongpo pork elbow, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, and the twice-cooked pork."

"Xueru, what do you think?"

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "You can choose between spicy, spicy, salty, fresh and sweet. I will definitely eat this."

"Okay, that's it."

He Daqing heard the conversation between the two and turned to Silly Zhu and shouted: "Silly Zhu, go back to our house and bring over the remaining Dongpo pork elbow, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork."

This man is a bit silly and a bit resigned to death, but he listens to his father's words.

After a while, four plates were brought over and sent to Li Xiuzhu's house.

He Daqing looked at it and said, "Just bring me the plate after you finish eating."

"to make!"

Li Xiuzhu and the other two just took the bowls and chopsticks when they ate, and didn't even move the table out.In addition, the two of them are the masters today, so they are not needed to clean up.

Youdao is that there is strength in numbers, but in just a moment, the backyard was empty, and even the ground had been cleaned.

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "This thing doesn't seem to be that troublesome, so we'll get it done right now."

“And you’ll be home right after you finish your meal, which is more convenient than eating out.”

Li Xiuzhu also smiled.

"That's because this is our family's business, and it wouldn't be good if we helped."

"You're going to wipe a greasy table with us dressed like this?"

Chen Xueru took one look at her woolen coat and shook her head immediately.

“It’s impossible to help, and it’s impossible to help in this life.”

"I, Chen Xueru, am not a worker."

Very good. Do you have a good sense of yourself? I don’t either.

It's just a few days at most. If you don't find someone to work for, you will really lose weight day by day.

"Xueru, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."

There are ten hot water kettles at home, and the water will be boiled when I come back in the afternoon and wait for people.

But there was no rush to take a shower, otherwise they would have to boil water later. Anyway, they both liked to be clean, and they didn't do any physical work, so they weren't dirty.

Li Xiuzhu's words made Chen Xueru tremble uncontrollably. This was a bit of a stress reaction.

But she couldn't refuse this, and she wasn't menstruating either. How could a married woman not sleep with her man?

If so, which man would want to marry a wife.

Put it on the agenda, it must be put on the agenda... I am so beautiful that I cannot die.

Chen Xueru was reluctantly... coquettishly pulled back into the house by Li Xiuzhu.

Tingqianggen was not very popular at this time. The younger generation had not yet reached adulthood. The older generation, except He Daqing, all had wives. Who would come to listen to Qianggen? Isn’t it delicious to have a baby with your own mother-in-law?

Although their yellow-faced woman is not as fragrant as Chen Xueru, that kind of person is not what they can imagine.

Having just experienced the old society, I still had a sense of class for a while and didn’t dare to think too much.

Who wouldn’t want to eat some swan meat in a few years?

But sometimes you don’t just have to stop listening if you don’t want to.

The second uncle and the second aunt lived behind Li Xiuzhu's house. It would be fine if they could pee and get a chamber pot at home, but it would not work if they had to poop.

No, the second aunt vaguely heard it when she went out to take a dump.

But she didn't care, who was still young?
When Lao Liu got married ten years ago, he also had such good physical strength.

The winter in Beijing is really cold, and the cold wind makes my buttocks feel cold.

While the second aunt was thinking about the comfortable squatting toilet at Li Xiuzhu's house, she also wondered if her family could have one too.

But when I thought about those hundreds of dollars, I couldn't bear to part with it.

Yes, there is no such fate.

I've been here for more than ten years, isn't it just a little bit harder?

The second aunt walked to the backyard and was stunned when she was almost at the door of her house.

Is it not over yet?
It's been half an hour, right?
At this moment she admitted that she was envious, not that Chen Xueru had found a good man, but that Li Xiuzhu was in good health.

If only...if only her old Liu had this physical strength, that would be great.

When the second aunt returned home, she felt even more uncomfortable when she looked at his bangs that were snoring loudly. She really wanted to hit him on the head with a basin.

But I didn’t dare. For women who married in the old society, men were their gods.

Forget it, go to sleep.

However, the second aunt lying on the bed couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning. She didn't know why. Half an hour later, she went to the toilet again.

When passing by Li's house, her expression became even more exciting.

Fortunately, the sound was gone when I came back.
