Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 129: New Year's Day, Yi Zhonghai Finds Trouble
On New Year's Eve, He Yushui finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep due to being too tired from playing!

As for children, after they have eaten and drunk their fill, all that’s left is to play!

The midnight bell rang, and the long-lost voice in He Yuzhu's mind finally sounded!

"Ding, the Kitchen God Space has been upgraded, and the sign-in is successful!

The practice room has been obtained and integrated into the system space. Please explore it on your own!"

He Yuzhu was startled by the sudden sound. He almost forgot that he had a system!

What is a practice room? He Yuzhu was curious about this so-called "practice room". He thought he was going to be given some supplies, but this?

He Yuzhu entered the God of Cooking space and saw a practice room appear in the space. He was not sure whether it was his body or his mind, but he was there anyway!

"The Master Chef's Practice Room?"

He Yuzhu pushed open the door and walked in. A middle-aged man with a shiny forehead was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, resting!

The furnishing is a simple kitchen, and on the chopping board there is an exquisite kitchen knife that looks like a fish head knife!

"Don't look at it, that's the Feiluan Knife, my family's inherited kitchen knife. I didn't expect there's an identical one here!"

"Who is the senior?"

"I am Liu Shandong, and I will be responsible for teaching you cooking for one year, seven days a month. Do you understand?"

"How did you get here, senior?"

"Well, I don't know!"

"Thank you, senior!"

"You're welcome! It's midnight, don't miss the time, little brother!"

"Yes!"

He Yuzhu exited the Kitchen God Space and carefully considered the Liu Shandong who appeared!

Flying Luan Knife? Could it be Liu Shandong, the protagonist of "The Master Chef"? If so, then he is really lucky!
Liu Shandong is good at cooking Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, Guizhou, Western Regions and other local dishes, especially his knife skills, which are superb!

The Feiluan Knife comes in two parts, male and female. It is said that when used together, one's cooking skills can reach the pinnacle!

Zi Shi? He said he was looking forward to what kind of benefits this studio would bring to his culinary skills.
I have to pay New Year's greetings to my master today, so I can't get up late. He has no other elders, only a master, so it is natural for him to go and pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year!
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, we will visit the overpass and the temple fair in the rain, take a day off on the third day, and start working from the fourth day!

I got up and refilled the stove, looked at Xiao Yushui and smiled slightly. There were lines of saliva at the corners of the little guy's mouth, and he smacked his lips from time to time. I guess he was hungry!
He Yuzhu made a dish of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, added white flour buns and pickles, which was a very rich breakfast!

It’s Chinese New Year, so of course we have to eat better. It shouldn’t be unusual to cook a century egg and lean meat porridge. Last night the whole house was filled with the aroma of meat!

"Yushui, get up and eat. After dinner, go and wish Master and his wife a happy new year!"

"Happy New Year? Do you have lucky money?"

"That's right, brother has prepared New Year's money for Yu Shui, it all depends on how Yu Shui performs!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Hehe...get up now!"

He Yushui lost all sleepiness after hearing the New Year greetings. Why do children look forward to the New Year?
New clothes, delicious food, and lucky money, without any one of them, the joy of the New Year cannot be expressed!
He Yuzhu smiled slightly. Wasn’t it the same when he was a child in his previous life?

Starting from the first day of the twelfth lunar month, people look forward to the Chinese New Year with great anticipation. During the Chinese New Year, not only can we eat meat freely, but we can also wear new clothes. Although life was much better in the 1990s, new clothes could still only be made during the Chinese New Year!
New clothes are all custom-made at a tailor shop. In order to wear them longer, the upper body will be made as large as possible, and the pants cannot be made too long, otherwise the hems will definitely be torn!

A pig is slaughtered before the Chinese New Year, and the big fat pig is used to entertain guests. The pig's head is eaten on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and that's it!
New Year’s money is also indispensable. I am very happy to receive it. I will say, “Mom will keep it for you, save it!” The right to keep it is no longer in my hands, but I still calculate how much New Year’s money I have saved every day!

Until... until school starts, "I've paid your tuition", and then I start looking forward to the next Spring Festival!
This is the fun of children. No rebuttal is accepted here. I believe that everyone has experienced the joke of “I’m keeping it for you because I’m afraid you won’t say anything nonsense” about the New Year’s money!

After dinner, He Yuzhu hung the prepared gifts on the bicycle. There were not many, just a piece of meat weighing about two or three pounds, and a box of "Eight Beijing Pieces" pastries. That was all!

Pick up Yu Shui and put her on the special seat in the back seat, fasten her "seat belt". Little Yu Shui, wearing a flowery cotton-padded jacket, a scarf, and a bunny-head winter hat, only her eyes are exposed. She looks like a New Year doll. Two words: "festive"!
He opened the door, lifted and pushed the bicycle, and finally got out of the room. After setting up the large stand, he turned around to lock the door. At that moment, an uninvited guest appeared behind He Yuzhu!
"Zhu Zi, we are all neighbors. Who are you protecting yourself from by locking the door?"

Yi Zhonghai kept looking at He Yuzhu, fearing that this kid would take Yu Shui out to play and miss the time to pay New Year's greetings to the "ancestors"!

I had been planning to speak in a friendly manner, but when I really saw He Yuzhu, I could no longer hold back my anger!

We agreed to spend New Year's Eve together, and you stood me up?
The key point is that he helped to paste the Spring Festival couplets yesterday and showed off. This is really bad luck, isn't it? This is intolerable! You bastard, if I don't let you know how powerful I, Yi Zhonghai, am, you really don't take me seriously?
He Yuzhu couldn't hold back his anger when he heard this disgusting voice. You forgot the first thing you should say to someone on New Year's Day? You came to my house to pick a fight on New Year's Day. Do you think he's easy to bully?
"Yi Zhonghai, what the hell are you crazy about? There's no one at home, so I can't lock the door?"

"He Yuzhu, I am your elder, so how can I not say anything to you? Everyone in this courtyard is familiar to me, how can they steal your things? Who are you guarding against?"

The conversation between the two successfully attracted the residents of the Central Courtyard, even Qin Huairu came out to observe the situation!

After listening for a while, I finally understood. It turned out that He Yuzhu wanted to lock the door, but Yi Zhonghai didn't let him. What the hell was going on? But no one wanted to get involved, so no one said anything!
Yi Zhonghai is "helpful" and the technology in the factory is pretty good. If their children go to work in the factory in the future, they may be able to use Yi Zhonghai, for example, to learn locksmith skills or something!

He Yuzhu is the supervisor. Even though he is very young and doesn't have any responsibility, even if he can't help you, he can definitely ruin your plans, right?

"Yi Zhonghai, I give you face and call you Uncle Yi. If I don't give you face, you are shit. Who gives you the confidence to call me your elder?

If you don't lock the door, the heat in the house will escape. Are you responsible for keeping it warm?"

"He Yuzhu, what did I teach you? Is that how you talk to me? If you want to prevent the heat from escaping, just close the doors and windows. I think you are just trying to protect yourself from the neighbors!"

What a moral kidnapping! Yi Zhonghai's words imply that he wants to tie up everyone in the compound. It's a good excuse to target He Yuzhu!

"Uncle Wang, do you lock the door when no one is home?"

"Of course I have to lock it. How can I not lock the door?"

"Sister-in-law, Brother Dongxu is not at work. Do you lock the door when you go to buy groceries?"

"this..."

Qin Huairu didn't expect He Yuzhu to ask her that Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu's master, and that not only would it be a guilty conscience but it would also make He Yuzhu embarrassed!
The door must be locked, but saying so would be like slapping Yi Zhonghai in the face, right?

Qin Huairu was a man who knew how to deal with the situation. He hesitated and couldn't say it out loud, which was equivalent to saying that he would lock the door. It was just that Yi Zhonghai's reason was difficult to say out loud!

The public has sharp eyes. Everyone saw clearly whether she locked the door or not. Although she didn’t say it, she still said it!
"Yi Zhonghai, I don't want to be disturbed on New Year's Day. I have to pay New Year's greetings to my master. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Get out!
"You can control everything, but can you control people's shit and farts? Besides, pay attention to your own identity. You are not the head of our Intermediate Court. You don't know what you are talking about!"

"You can't go!"

"Yi Zhonghai, did I give you face? Get out of here!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu was about to leave, he immediately stood in front of the bicycle. His plan had not even begun, so how could he let He Yuzhu leave easily?
He had already lost face by standing up his friend last night. If he let He Yuzhu go, wouldn't he be humiliated even more?

Of course, this is just Yi Zhonghai’s own imagination. Others don’t know that he has prepared a big show!
"Master Yi, this is unreasonable. Zhuzi wants to wish Master a happy new year, why are you stopping him?

He knows whether to lock the door or not. It's fine if he's just looking for trouble, but can he not let Zhuzi pay New Year's greetings to his master?"

"Wang Shitou, you have nothing to do here, get out of the way!"

"Hey, you are just a jerk, get out of my way!"

As a big man from Northeast China, he would usually ignore others because he is poor and has low aspirations. He Yuzhu has done his family a favor, so he will definitely not let others bully Zhuzi!

They not only like to eat goose stewed in iron pots and pig-killing dishes, but also like to stand up for the weak and fight against injustice!

"Wang Shitou, are you sure you want to meddle in other people's business?"

"I'm meddling in other people's business? You're a real tiger, get out of my way!"

Wang Shitou didn't care whether Yi Zhonghai was threatening him or not. He grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arm and pulled him away. Yi Zhonghai staggered and his face came into close contact with the frozen ground!
"Master, are you okay?"

When Jia Dongxu saw his master fall to the ground, he immediately ran over to help him up, and then remained silent!
He has learned his lesson and just needs to show his filial piety at the right time. He should not interrupt others and just watch the show. This is what Qin Huairu asked for!

"fine!"

"What? Can't you be a little more peaceful on New Year's Day? If you have any disputes, go to Second Uncle. Don't you understand this rule?
He is in his forties and still wrestling so early in the morning. It's really worrying!
Zhuzi, tell me, what's the commotion so early in the morning?

Liu Haizhong officially appeared on the scene. He had actually been here a long time ago and understood the whole story. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was being unreasonable, so he just kept commenting!
"Second uncle, this is what's going on... Do you think Yi Zhonghai is right? How overbearing is he?
I wanted to lock the door, but he wouldn't let me. I wanted to go and wish my master a happy new year, but he tried to stop me!
If Uncle Wang hadn't stood up for me, today, the two orphans, Yu Shui and I, would have been bullied by that bastard Yi Zhonghai!"

He Yuzhu was helpless. He knew the reason why Yi Zhonghai was looking for trouble, and he saw that Liu Haizhong had arrived a long time ago!
But he still has to cooperate with Liu Da Nao Tou in acting. Life is really like a play!
You can't just beat him up without saying a word, like your original self did? Wouldn't that give you a reputation for being aggressive?
Reputation plays a big role in this era. You can't take action unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if you do, you must have the most appropriate excuse. It depends on whether Yi Zhonghai will give it to you!

He Yuzhu's hands felt a little itchy when he got up in the morning. He didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing. He was eager to try it. After beating someone, he wanted to make the onlookers feel that he deserved the beating!
I haven’t fought since my rebirth, so I wonder if my original body’s fighting power is really as strong as described in the drama!

He did absorb some fighting skills, but he didn't know if they were just fancy moves. If he had the chance, he would definitely try it!
