Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 55 Yi Zhonghai changes his face

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. This change of attitude was too fast. He had just become the steward, and now he was already in control?

"Well, then you just have a good rest and I'll find someone else to help."

Yi Zhonghai said: "How about I ask Dongxu to come and help lift it."

"No, I can't afford it."

Of course, He Yuzhu didn't want to use Jia Dongxu's help. Yi Zhonghai was not willing to help, so how could Jia Dongxu, as his apprentice, exert such strength?

Seeing that He Yuzhu disagreed, Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything more and turned back to the house.

He Yuzhu got up and went to the front yard and found Yan Bugui: "Uncle Yan, I have a few cabinets, can you help me lift them?"

"Okay, it's all a matter of helping others, how can I say no."

Yan Bugui responded happily, put down the lesson plan in his hand, got up and followed He Yuzhu out.

If everyone hadn't looked at He Yuzhu, he would have just collected them into the space and stored them.

Unfortunately, there are so many people that we can't do this, so we can only ask someone to help lift it.

Without saying a word, Yan Bugui helped move the desk, high and low cabinets, large wardrobe, and double bed to the yard.

Then cover it with waterproof tarpaulin. The Jia family also did this the past two days. Everyone put their furniture in the yard. It only lasted two days anyway, so even if it rained, there would be no problem.

After moving the things and washing his hands, He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Yan, just stay here for dinner tonight. I've stewed the fish."

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and agreed directly: "I still have half a bottle of wine, let us have a drink."

Yan Bugui actually knew that He Yuzhu had not started drinking yet, so he deliberately said this so that if he added wine, he would not lose face and could still eat the fish from He Yuzhu's family.

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Why did I hear others say that the wine Uncle Yan brought was mixed with water?"

Yan Bugui blushed: "How can there be? Don't listen to their nonsense, they are all ruining my reputation."

"It doesn't matter whether it's mixed with water or not. Anyway, I can't drink yet. It's up to you to drink it yourself."

Thinking that you can just add a plate of cold dishes, but you can't drink a bottle of wine yourself. This is really the style of the Yan family, so He Yuzhu stopped complaining.

He Yuzhu had put the fish in the pot before, and it was almost done. When Yan Bugui brought the wine, a large pot of stewed fish was served.

Picking up a chopstick of fish meat and putting it in his mouth, Yan Bugui's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Zhuzi, is this fish stewed by you?"

"It can't be stewed by rainwater, right?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"But didn't you just become an apprentice? Why is the stewed fish so delicious? Better than what I had in the restaurant?" Yan Bugui asked curiously.

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle Yan, are you still willing to go to a restaurant?"

"Your uncle and I also have social activities. Besides, our family doesn't have that kind of difficulty."

Having said that, He Yuzhu also remembered that the family structure of Yanbu Gui's family was small proprietors, which meant that there were more than 12 houses in his hometown.

If a household has less than 12 houses, it cannot be classified as a small owner, or if it has a shop front, only a shop employing three or more people can be classified as a small owner.

Yan Bugui's family is relatively wealthy, otherwise he would not have been able to attend private schools and modern schools when he was a child.

If you haven't studied for a few years, how can you be a teacher in school? You still teach the two main subjects of Chinese and mathematics.

Although Yan Bugui is frugal, he still has social interactions with his colleagues, and occasionally goes to restaurants for dinner parties.

The fish stewed by He Yuzhu turned out to be so delicious, far surpassing the dishes Yan Bugui had tasted before.

He Yuzhu is a little proud. He has been able to get more than 200 experience points every day these days. After the seasoning reaches level [-], he will no longer add experience points to it.After all, just preparing cold dishes and braised pork is enough.

Today is also a coincidence. I finally accumulated enough experience to upgrade Sichuan cuisine to level 5. The fish stew tonight was the first time I cooked after upgrading.

The fish stew made with level [-] Sichuan cuisine skill is more delicious than ever before.

"If it's delicious, eat more. But don't tell anyone about the delicious food. I'm still just an apprentice."

Yan Bugui nodded, he understood this and had to keep a low profile. Besides, many people in the courtyard relied on their neighbors to help with things. It seemed that He Yuzhu did not intend to help others with cooking.

He Yuzhu vacated the house without delay. Master Song brought people to work the next day.

During the previous inspection, He Yuzhu had been informed that the overall house was still in good condition, and only a few tiles on it needed to be replaced.

There are no problems with the wooden beams and frames. The only thing is to support the fire pit, add two gables, and re-smear the surrounding walls with a layer of mud to cover the ceiling.

The houses in Beijing's courtyard houses are tall, but it's too cold in winter, so they all have the habit of covering up the ceilings.

Due to material limitations, the ceiling is not made of wood at this time. Instead, hemp poles are often used as the skeleton, and then old newspapers are pasted on it.

The advantage of doing this is that it saves materials and is low-cost. Almost everyone at home can do it by themselves, and it doesn't cost much.

The disadvantage is that the roof must be repaired every year, otherwise it will not keep warm.

He Yuzhu just chatted with Master Song for a while and paid 60 yuan again. After all, the two houses had been built and that was how they had been discussed before.

The final 60 yuan needs to be paid after the house is fully completed and He Yuzhu checks that there are no problems before the final payment is settled.

When He Yuzhu came to the alley behind the restaurant, he saw an extra donkey cart outside the back door, with large wine jars on top.

You don't need to guess to know that this is Xu Huizhen's brother coming to deliver wine.

When He Yuzhu walked up to him, he saw his brother and sister talking in the yard.

Xu Huizhen's eyes were still a little red, and she looked like she wanted to cry but was trying not to cry.

He Yuzhu asked: "Do you want me to help carry the wine?"

Over time, I have learned that people often deliver various things to restaurants, such as coal, wood, grain, liquor, and beer. Those who deliver the raw materials carry them themselves.

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Xu Hui said quickly.

"Of course I have to help move it." Xu Hui was really not polite at all.

Xu Hui turned to look at his sister, then turned to look at He Yuzhu's confused face.

"Brother!" Xu Huizhen's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "You originally asked me to be a vegetable cutter, but he took away my vegetable cutting job, so I can only wash vegetables and scavenge vegetables every day."

"Oh, I see!"

Of course, Xu Hui wouldn't say much, and could only comfort Xu Huizhen.

He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed. When he came to work, he really didn't know that he and Xu Huizhen overlapped.

Zhang Zusheng also betrayed his master's reputation and left the vegetable cutting job originally given to Xu Huizhen to himself, and asked Xu Huizhen to work as a water table.

"I didn't know it at the time. I'm really embarrassed."

What can Xu Hui say? You can't blame He Yuzhu at this time. Who knows what his relationship will be later.

"It's nothing, it's all trivial."
