Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 52 You don’t deserve what you have now

Watching Jiang Chen pick up the fried mapo tofu and put it on a plate.

He Yuyu shook his head: "The way you are doing it, you want umami but not umami, and you want the heat but not the heat. You can bring out at most 30% of the advantages of these ingredients, and it is a waste of such good materials."

Jiang Chen was completely denied, and frowned: "I said, I'm going to treat you to dinner, and you're still so picky?"

He Yuyu nodded: "Yes, it's good if you can eat it. It's better than potatoes and cabbage stewed."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized: "Can you cook?"

He Yuyu said: "Don't forget who my father is? He is a descendant of the Tan family and is also very good at Sichuan cuisine."

Jiang Chen said: "Speaking so lofty, it's not like I haven't eaten your brother's cooking before."

He Yuyu said: "My brother is really stupid, and his mind is not clear. My father taught him step by step, and I watched him from the side for a while, but he still couldn't learn. At that time, I was only five or six years old."

"That means I'm studying. Otherwise, if I want to be a cook, my level must be higher than his. Not to mention Level 5, Level 6 will be fine."

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement: "If there is nothing wrong with my brain, I can't do such a thing as using my own lunch box to support other people's wives and children."

"The key is that if others eat from him, they will not remember his good deeds."

He Yuyu said: "That's right, it almost pissed me off, but he didn't listen to me."

Jiang Chen put Mapo Tofu on the table: "I haven't fried the meat yet, how about showing off?"

"You're talking nonsense, you have to let me see the truth."

He Yuyu glanced at Jiang Chen: "If I show my hand, I will show my hand. I'm afraid I'll make you cunning, and I won't be able to eat the food I cook in the future."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "That's not the case."

As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.

When He Yuyu picked up the spatula and skillfully put the fatty meat into the pot and stir-fried it, Jiang Chen knew that the girl was not lying.

Then Jiang Chen had the most delicious meal since arriving in Sijiu City.

It's really delicious and delicious.

The meat is oily but not greasy, spicy but not dry, fat but not greasy, lean but not woody, and tastes delicious in your mouth.

He Yuyu said proudly: "How?"

Jiang Chen held out his thumb: "Niu, I'm starting to worry that I won't be able to eat the food I cooked in the future."

He Yuyu smiled and said: "That's because you mix the ingredients well. I guess not many families are willing to cook meat and vegetables like you do."

After eating, Jiang Chen burped and felt satisfied.

Light another cigarette, and you will really be a racing god.

He Yuyu consciously picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When He Yuyu finished his work, Jiang Chen said, "Sister Yuyu, let's discuss it. How about we have dinner together in the future?"

"I provide the materials and you provide the labor."

The main reason is that He Yuyu's craftsmanship is truly remarkable and cannot be wasted.

To enjoy life, eating is also one of the highlights.

Besides, this little girl can't eat much in one meal, so the cost is negligible.

He Yuyu said: "It depends on my mood and time."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, when you have time, just come in directly when you see me at home."

After dinner, He Yuyu left and went back to his room.

She is already 16, and it is inappropriate to stay in a single man's house for too long.

Jiang Chen rested for a while and did some simple exercise to eliminate food. Then he climbed onto the bed, opened up the long-lost space, and continued to study the machine tools.

Machine tools do involve a lot of knowledge. He wants to study it thoroughly, and it is initially estimated that it will take him half a month.

On the other side, Wenwan's family is also having dinner.

The food on the table was even richer than Jiang Chen's.

But neither of them seemed to have much appetite. They ate intermittently and were unusually quiet.

After a while, Luo Xue said, "Mom, do you have a bad appetite too?"

Wen Wan was stunned: "Me? It was fine originally, but I saw that you had no appetite, so I didn't want to eat it."

Luo Xue sighed: "It's not that I'm not hungry, why don't I want to eat?"

Wen Wan said: "Why don't you know better than me?"

Luo Xue said: "Why don't you ask Jiang Chen to come to my house for dinner tomorrow?"

Wen Wan glanced at Luo Xue: "Even if we come tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? It's impossible for people to come to our house for dinner every day, right? Jiang Chen is not that thick-skinned."

"Besides, he will also get married in the future, and it will be even more inconvenient for him to come over then."

Luo Xue was silent for a long time: "What kind of girl do you think Jiang Chen would like?"

In the past half month, the mother and daughter and Jiang Chen should have become relatively close, but Jiang Chen never expressed anything.

Sometimes, they even deliberately keep their distance.

Wen Wan put down her chopsticks and asked, "What do you think?"

Luo Xue thought for a while: "He is so handsome, talented, and his conditions are not bad. When looking for a partner, he must be looking for someone beautiful."

Wen Wan said: "Everyone has a love for beauty. He will definitely like beautiful people, but being beautiful is just a bonus, and the priority is definitely not the highest."

Luo Xue said: "That means he is capable and can help him in his career."

Wen Wan said: "This is not necessarily true. Most capable girls have strong personalities. He is busy with his career and does not want to spend too much time dealing with trivial matters, so this is not a necessary condition."

Luo Xue said: "Educated, well-educated, well-behaved and obedient?"

Wen Wan nodded: "That's about it! When he came to Sijiu City alone, the first thing he would consider when looking for a partner would be a girl who knows how to live."

"A girl who can help him keep his house in order, give him a delicious meal when he comes home, a girl who can give him spiritual support and comfort, and allow him to focus all his energy on his career."

"As for what you said about being educated, beautiful, etc., they are all bonus points, not mandatory."

Luo Xue opened her mouth: "Huh?"

Put that way, she doesn't seem to have any advantages.

Apart from being beautiful, being serious and responsible at work, and being well-educated, she doesn't seem to meet this standard at all.

It can even be said to be the opposite.

I can’t cook and rarely do housework.

She also has a bit of a young lady's temper, and will get a little temperamental from time to time.

Wen Wan said: "Being beautiful can be our capital, but it cannot be our only capital. Being educated is your advantage, but it cannot just be cultured."

"This is why Jiang Chen has always kept a safe distance from you, because you are not his type."

Luo Xue pursed her lips and felt like she was about to cry: "Then what should I do?"

Wen Wan said: "Get rid of your eldest temperament, go back home and do more housework, and then you must learn to cook."

"But you don't have much time. Now Jiang Chen is busy with training and has no time to deal with emotional issues."

"But I estimate that when his mother comes over in the next year, she will definitely want to have grandchildren and will urge him to get married. If you are still like this before then, give up as soon as possible."

"You are not worthy of me now."
