Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 14 Packing
The two of them looked at each other, and then they involuntarily followed the scent and searched for it.

Soon, the two arrived at the restaurant.

"Dad, is this the meal made by the chef you mentioned?"

Lou Xiao'e was already attracted by the aroma of the food on the table and couldn't help but speak.

Lou Zhenhua glanced at her, nodded with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the woman behind her.

"Yali, you haven't been feeling well lately and you can't eat. I'm worried about you. The Tan dishes made by Chef He today look pretty good. Do you have an appetite?"

This is Lou Zhenhua’s daughter-in-law, Lou Xiao’e’s mother, Tan Yali.

At this moment, Tan Yali's eyes swept across the dishes on the table, and something strange flashed across them.

In fact, she was attracted by the aroma of tonight's food when she came to the restaurant with Lou Xiao'e. She had not been feeling well recently and could not eat or drink. She had no appetite for any dish. This was the first time she was attracted by the aroma of food in recent days.

"Zhenhua, you are thoughtful." Tan Yali said softly, and seeing her expression at this moment, Lou Zhenhua was also relieved. These days at home, he was worried every time it was time to eat.

I don't know what's wrong with Yali, she just has no appetite, and the hospital can't find anything wrong. Is it because the food is not good? Their family has never been stingy with spending on food. If this is considered bad, then in this era, I'm afraid there are not many families that eat well.

Now it seems that calling in Master He is still useful! Master He is worthy of his name!
Then, Lou Zhenhua asked the two to sit down and quickly taste the chef's cooking. At this time, He Yuzhu came over with a nanny from the Lou family.

The nanny brought the last two dishes. After He Yuzhu gestured for them to be served, she smiled and said to Lou Zhenhua.

"Director Lou, today's mission has been successfully completed. You and your family can have dinner. I will leave first."

After finishing the meal, He Yuzhu said goodbye. He didn't want to stay at Lou Zhenhua's house for dinner. Although he was a little greedy for the delicious food, he was allowed to cook for Director Lou, and there was no problem with it if he told others about it.

But if they stayed at Director Lou's house for dinner, the nature of the matter would be different. He Yuzhu was not willing to take such risks. Moreover, his life was not bad, and he was going to have a big meal with his sister, a greedy little girl, at night.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lou Zhenhua and his family all looked over.

Among them, Lou Xiao'e and Tan Yali were meeting He Yuzhu for the first time, and there was a strong curiosity in their eyes.

What Lou Xiao'e was curious about was that this guy looked young but had great skills, and yet his father invited him to cook at home.

But Tan Yali's curiosity was mixed with some surprises.

Her background is quite special, which determines that she has a special liking for Tan family cuisine. Similarly, her taste is much higher than that of ordinary people.

If the dishes of the Tan family on the table were made by the young man in front of him, it would be a little too shocking.

Although she hasn't tasted it yet, just by smelling it, Tan Yali knew that there was real skill involved. She thought this was a master chef who had been immersed in Tan family cuisine for decades. Who would have thought that it would be such a young guy?

While the two of them were looking at He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu was also paying attention to the two of them. Lou Xiaoe and her daughter? He Yuzhu's heart moved. The Lou family had not yet been dealt with by the Iron Fist. Under such conditions, Lou Xiaoe's temperament and outfit were much better than ordinary people. She really had the feeling of a lady from a noble family.

"Master He, you've worked so hard today. Why are you leaving now? I think it's about time. Why don't you stay and eat together?"

"Yes, Master He, your cooking skills for Tan's cuisine are truly amazing. If you don't mind, please sit down and eat together with us for today's dishes." As the hostess of the family, Tan Yali quickly followed Lou Zhenhua in speaking.

"No need, Director Lou and Mrs. Lou, you guys go eat. My sister is waiting for me at home. I promised to cook dinner for her."

"Is that so, Aunt Chen, please pack some dishes for Master He to take away." Seeing this, Tan Yali stopped trying to persuade him to stay, but she still generously asked the nanny to pack some meat dishes on the table for He Yuzhu.

In this era of material scarcity, packing up food was not something to look down on. In fact, with this table of meat and vegetables, anyone who could pack up some would be extremely happy.

Seeing that Lou Zhenhua's family was so polite and enthusiastic, He Yuzhu could not refuse anything. He could only say thank you and took it.

At the same time, Lou Zhenhua asked the driver to come and pick up He Yuzhu. Before leaving, Lou Zhenhua stuffed a few bills into He Yuzhu's hand.

"Master He, I ask you to do something so busy late at night. Please accept it. Otherwise, I will feel bad and will not dare to trouble you again if I have the chance in the future."

He Yuzhu moved his fingers, but on the surface he remained calm. Cooking for others and getting paid for it was a matter of course in this business.

For private work like his, the master should pay him. There is nothing wrong with accepting it. However, He Yuzhu did not expect that Director Lou was quite good at dealing with people. Director Yang had given him a ticket before. Even if it was a reward from the factory, he was prepared to help for free and just consider it as helping the factory complete the task. It seems that to be able to reach the position of Lou Bancheng, Director Lou has some talent.

Before people become rich, they are well aware of various virtues such as gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty. But once they become rich and powerful, they become arrogant. Even if they have these concepts in their minds, they will still be somewhat frivolous when facing people who are far inferior to themselves.

Director Lou's attitude towards a cook like this made He Yuzhu look at him a few more times.

Of course, it is not known whether it is because the spring river water is warming up that those at the forefront have noticed some signs and have been forced to make changes.

After thanking Director Lou, He Yuzhu rushed home under the escort of the driver.

……

Nanluoguxiang.

A black Jiefang brand sedan was parked outside the alley. The alleys inside were too narrow and it was inconvenient for the car to drive in. He Yuzhu took the initiative to ask the driver to park outside.

Of course, this also means that I don’t want to publicize it.

Although his mission today was arranged by Director Yang, in this era, he is just an ordinary person. If he goes home in a car, it will probably be spread all over the street and become the subject of discussion by everyone tomorrow morning. He Yuzhu doesn't want to get involved in these troubles.
