Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 127: New Year's Eve, Three Families Waiting for He Yuzhu
Little did he know that he was just casually saying it as a joke among his fellow apprentices, but the story that had been going on for ten thousand years was heard by Wang Dana, who went home to "apply what he had learned" and that's when trouble came!
"Master's Wife, how did Master offend you? To make Master's Wife, who is so virtuous, so angry, he must have done something that angered the heavens and the people!"

"Zhu Zi, your master is thinking of his former girlfriend and regrets marrying his master's wife!
It's a pity that I have been married into the Wang family for so many years, working hard without complaint, and now that I am old, I still have to endure this kind of humiliation, alas..."

"Master, this is your fault. It has been so many years, and the three senior brothers have not been able to come back for the New Year. You still bully Master's wife like this. It is so unkind!
After all, decades have passed, why are you still obsessed with that thing?"

"Wow, the eldest and second oldest are unknown whether they are alive or dead, the third oldest also ran away, and the only one left is still harboring evil intentions. Why is my life so miserable?"

"Master's Wife, the brothers will be fine, so don't worry!"

He Yuzhu was helpless. He originally planned to say something to his master's wife, but ended up making her cry!

Just look at the murderous look in the master's eyes and you will know that the flattery has hit the horse's hoof?

"Master's wife, if you have any grievances, please tell me. Yu Shui and I will support you, right? Yu Shui?"

"Yes, Master's Wife, Yu Shui is your little cotton-padded jacket. If Master makes you angry again, I will ignore him for a month!"

"Evil disciple, you are the one who caused all this, and you are still fanning the flames here?"

"Master, let's be reasonable, why did I have to cause this trouble?
When I came to your house, I saw that you had dark circles around your eyes, right? What does this have to do with me? "

"Hmph, what did you talk to the boss about? You didn't forget it, did you?"

"Me? I said a lot! Besides, this is a communication between us brothers. Ah, I understand!"

"You're shocked. Do you understand?"

Wang Dana finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to explain himself clearly. He had said that sentence which had irritated his wife, so he explained it immediately!
But the daughter-in-law never believed it and insisted that she was thinking of the daughter of the second chef. God pity her, women are really strange creatures!

"Master, you eavesdropped on our conversation. How disrespectful of your elders!"

"I will beat you to death, you rebel against the Tian Gang, you evil disciple, stop right there, I have to clear my house today!"

"Master, now that you have explained it clearly, let's clean up the mess! We have to be reasonable, right?"

"stop!"

"No!"

"Stop right there, I won't hit you!"

Wang Dana quickly winked at He Yuzhu and told him that today was New Year’s Eve and he couldn’t get angry!
What if this anger continues until tomorrow morning and then it’s all over? How angry will I be throughout the next year?
These words cannot be said openly, otherwise it will seem superstitious, but few people do not take them seriously!

"Master, you really won't hit me?"

"It's New Year's Day, why would I hit you?"

"Master, tell me!"

Wang Dana couldn't help but get angry when he saw He Yuzhu in the distance. Where did his prestige just now go?
"come over!"

He Yuzhu saw that things were not going well and that his master was really showing signs of being angry!

The reason why he started to play tricks on people was because he understood Wang Dana's temper. Although he would be scolded more often, it was undoubtedly a good way to get closer to him!

Just look at the reaction of the master's wife and you will know that he and his sister have been completely accepted by her!
Why do we learn skills? Of course, it is to pass on the skills. The three children of the master did not choose to be chefs!

Progressive young people with a high school education or above have higher ideals and ambitions!
Who will inherit the Master's legacy? Who else but him?

Although there is a Kitchen God Space, this thing has not shown any magical features so far except for the space and the supplies obtained!

If you want to get along well and live comfortably in this era, excellent cooking skills are indispensable. Just look at Sha Zhu in the play, and you will know the whole picture from a single glimpse!

With Shazhu's little cooking skills, he can live so comfortably, so there is no reason for him to live worse than his original self, right? Having a skill is the way to survive!

He had gone to great lengths to clear the rift in the hearts of his master and his mistress, but they were all just a glance and he could never accept them from the bottom of his heart!
Although there is a saying that a master and his apprentice are like father and son, how many people can really do that?

The key to being a chef is the ingredients. Only by mastering the recipe can one be independent. The master is the one who masters the recipe!

The independence mentioned here does not mean that you don't recognize your master. You should repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water. You should not betray your master and destroy your ancestors!
The independence here means to become a disciple. It will take at most two years to complete the journey. He must become a disciple. It will not work if he follows his elder brother for as many years as he did. The situation does not allow it!
"What are you thinking about, little brat?"

"Master, you said you wouldn't hit me!"

"You're still feeling wronged. Did you hear what I said?"

"Please, please say it again!"

If he wasn't so anxious to please his wife, he would have taught this traitor a lesson!
"Alas, it's all because of you who once had a true love... that caused all the trouble!"

He Yuzhu was completely obsessed with the pulse belt. It turned out that he learned this sentence from his master. In order to appear romantic, he ended up trying to imitate the goose, but the form was similar but the spirit was not!

"knew?"

"Hey, Master, you said that you said something wrong. What you meant is:
I once had a sincere relationship in front of me, and I seized it. Afterwards, I was extremely happy. If God gives me another chance, I want this happiness to last for 10,000 years!"

"Will this happen?"

"Of course not. And you have to say it in front of me and Yu Shui. Wouldn't Master's wife be so happy that she would die?"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

He Yuzhu nodded vigorously and encouraged his master with his eyes to be braver. He said that he would definitely be happy, but he would also be shy!

The old couple must be lonely without their three children around!
The best way to relieve his stress is to recall the past. He knows that his master and his mistress had a legendary love story in that chaotic world!

Wang Dana clenched his fists. Let him die, so be it. The old woman was already upset, and now she was even more upset that he had failed to achieve the desired result. It was New Year's Day, and he had to make his wife happy!
"Xiao Fang, I said the wrong thing and I didn't remember it. Can I say it again?"

The master's wife folded her arms and looked at Wang Dana with pretended sadness. He Yuzhu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that there seemed to be a smile in her eyes!

"There was once a sincere love..."

"You old man, you have no shame. What are you talking about in front of the children? Why don't you go make dumplings?"

"Okay, let's go now!"

He Yuzhu followed with a smile, thinking to himself, I’m quite talented, I solved it so quickly!

"Zhu Zi, if you talk nonsense again next time, I'll break your legs! Humph!"

When passing by the master's wife, a faint voice was heard. He Yuzhu's expression froze. So you heard it all?
"Master's wife, you..."

"Humph, we've been married for so long, and I still don't understand him? It's strange that he could come up with such a thing!"

"Then you..."

"I want you to take care of it, hum!"

The master's wife turned around and walked into the house proudly. He Yuzhu was stunned. Who am I? Where am I?
No. 95, Nanluoguxiang
"Old Yi, shall we make dumplings first?"

"Wait a little longer, Zhuzi has gone to collect rainwater. We agreed to come back to his house to make dumplings!"

"But this time?"

"Wait a minute, let me check if the Spring Festival couplets have been written!"

"to make!"

Yi Zhonghai did not explain much. His plan was only known to the deaf old lady, so it was not appropriate to tell Yi Li for the time being!
"Old Yan, have you finished writing the Spring Festival couplets?"

"Haha, it's done!
The first line: New atmosphere in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China; the second line: Welcome the spring of 1951; the horizontal scroll: All things are renewed;
Lao Yi, how do you think? Isn't my Spring Festival couplet interesting? "

"Haha, good, Old Yan, your Spring Festival couplets are amazing!"

"Of course not, it's guaranteed to be unique!"

"Here's two thousand, as your writing fee!"

"So many? How can I feel comfortable with that?"

"Excuse me? Then write me another one. Zhu went to collect rainwater and hasn't come back yet. Don't bother you again when I close the stall!"

"Got it!"

Yan Bugui wanted to slap himself. Why be polite? You're welcome. Shouldn't Yi Zhonghai give him more?
Yi Zhonghai is really "helpful" and even arranged Spring Festival couplets for Sha Zhu's family!

"Look at me

First couplet: The stove is roaring with delicious food, and the family is happily bidding farewell to the year of Mao;

Second line: The aroma of the kitchen wafts around the hall, and neighbors celebrate together to start a new journey!

Horizontal banner: Happy New Year with the fragrance of the kitchen!
How is it? Is it suitable for the occasion? "

"Haha, not bad, not bad!"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stop smiling when he saw the words "Neighbors celebrate together and start a new journey". Old Yan still understands me!

"Old Yi, you are really good at designing the pillars. You even thought of the Spring Festival couplets!"

“Look, tonight we are having New Year’s Eve dinner with the Jia family and Zhuzi!
There are bound to be unexpected things about this child, so shouldn't I think more comprehensively? "

"That's right, that's right!"

"Okay, see you later!"

"See you!"

After Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu put up the Spring Festival couplets, it was already afternoon and He Yuzhu had not returned yet!
"Master, how about we start first? We don't know when Zhuzi will come back, and he's probably already eating at his master's house!"

"Let's wait a little longer. We agreed to make dumplings and have New Year's Eve dinner at his house. What should we do first?
Maybe he is helping his master clean up! The cook usually goes out early and comes back late, so he must have a lot of housework to do!"

Yi Zhonghai was also muttering, why hasn't He Yuzhu come back yet? What time is it now?
Wang Dana's House
"Master, find some coins. Let's put some in there for a good omen!"

"Go find your master's wife. All the money in the house is with her!"

He Yuzhu looked at the master's wife in surprise. Could this master's wife be from the future? Why is she so evil?
In this day and age, men are the king of the family. Men have to make decisions on all matters, big or small!

Unless the man dies, there are very few women who are in charge of the household!
"What are you looking at? We are all cooks, and there are so many things we can't take care of at home!"

"Okay, Master, you are wise!"

He had casually promised Yi Zhonghai something and had long forgotten about it in Java. He didn't take it to heart at all. If there were outsiders around, they would definitely sigh: How heartwarming!

Courtyard house

"Zhonghai, Zhuzi hasn't come back yet?"

"Ma'am, you're here so early?"

"Why not come? I've been waiting to eat dumplings since noon. Now the sun is setting and I haven't eaten them yet. I must be hungry!"

"Zhuzi, this kid, didn't even know to come back early after he promised. My dear, call Dongxu and his wife, and let's make dumplings first!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Jia family
"Dongxu, when are we going to eat dumplings? Master and I will eat together. I haven't prepared anything!"

"Alas, this is not waiting for the pillars!"

"Zhu Zi hasn't come back yet?"

"Of course not, otherwise we would have eaten hot dumplings a long time ago. Why would we go hungry?"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu strangely. She had a hunch that He Yuzhu did it on purpose and had no intention of spending New Year's Eve with them at all!
It's getting dark and he hasn't come back yet. This doesn't make sense. Today is New Year's Eve. Even if I'm having dinner at Master's house, I should be back to stay up all night!
He Yuzhu did not have a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. At least He Yuzhu did not take them seriously at all. She could see that clearly!

With such a relationship, can they spend the New Year's Eve together? She didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart!

However, she did not say it. He Yuzhu was the only man in her life, and it was her job to protect him and even cover for him!
It has to be said that at this time Qin Huairu still adhered to the idea of ​​being faithful to one person!

As long as she can live her life, perhaps she will not become the "white lotus" in the play. Who can tell?
"Dongxu, Huairu, go over and make dumplings!"

"Master's wife, is Zhuzi back?"

"No, the old lady is hungry, and your master asked us to make dumplings first!"

"Okay, Huairu, slow down!"

"understood!"

Qin Huairu thought to himself, as expected, He Yuzhu never came back and no one knew where he was wandering around. It was hard for him!

At this time, He Yuzhu was eating so much that his mouth was full of oil, and he also started drinking with his master. It was New Year's Day, so how could he not drink a few sips?

"Master, I'll give you a toast. If it weren't for you, I'd be picking up trash somewhere right now!"

"Zhu Zi, don't say that, it's all in the past!"

He Yuzhu was right. If it weren’t for Wang Dana, how would he, an apprentice, have earned his salary?
Even if there is, I have given it to the master. This is the rule!

It is also mentioned in the drama that after becoming an apprentice, one has to serve for three years. There is no salary for this service, just give the stutterer food!

The reason why Ma Hua and Fatty in the play were able to get their wages was thanks to the public-private partnership!
How dare Sha Zhu ask his two apprentices to pay for their work? He will definitely be reported. That is called exploiting workers. Times have changed!

Nowadays, there is nothing to say if Wang Dana took his salary, let alone teaching him technology!

The Wang Dana family, with their lively conversation, singing and laughter, and the Yi Zhonghai family, with their deserted and depressed mood, formed a sharp contrast!

The sound of firecrackers rang out one after another outside, and the five people in the house stared at each other in amazement!
"My dear, go cook!"

Yi Zhonghai had to admit that He Yuzhu might not come back!
I still have to make the New Year's Eve dinner myself. I can't just sit there and watch during the New Year, right? As for the issue of standing someone up, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow!
"Master's wife, I'll help you!"

"Huai Ru, you should take a rest. You are heavy, don't get tired!"

"Look at what you said. If it were in the countryside, people would still have to go to the fields to work this month. I'm already doing well!"

"to make!"

Yi Li didn't refuse. She really couldn't handle it all by herself. She couldn't ask Jia Dongxu for help, right?

Men don’t cook, except for the cook of course!

The deaf old lady didn't say anything in front of Jia Dongxu, but her gloomy face almost said: The ancestor is unhappy!
Yan Family
"Boss, hurry up and distribute the sunflower seeds and peanuts. What are you standing at the door and worrying about?"

“Haha… here it comes!”
