Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 15 Eat it all and wipe it clean
As autumn arrives, the evening wind is particularly cold.

He Yuzhu tightened his clothes, picked up some meat and vegetables sent by Director Lou, and walked towards the yard in a swagger.

There were four aluminum take-away boxes in total. I have to say that the Lou family was quite generous. Not to mention the food, the four main dishes, braised pork, braised pork elbow, pressed duck, and stir-fried lamb, filled two lunch boxes, and the remaining two lunch boxes were also filled with vegetarian dishes with plenty of oil.

Moreover, it was obvious that the family had no intention of returning the four aluminum lunch boxes.

With just these dishes, let alone people of this era, even if He Yuzhu saw them before he traveled through time, he would be greedy! So, in the end, He Yuzhu accepted it with a reluctant smile.

Carrying these dishes, He Yuzhu went straight back to the middle courtyard. At this time, every household had already washed up and most of them were resting at home. He Yuzhu saw at a glance that the main door of his own master bedroom in the middle courtyard was wide open, and the lights were on inside, bright.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly when he saw this. Is this the Thief Saint taking action?

But when he arrived at the door and saw the scene in the house, he was slightly relieved. He Yushui was sitting at the eight-immortal table, talking to the deaf old lady in front of him.

Because it was facing the gate, He Yushui saw He Yuzhui at the first moment.

The little girl glared at him and quickly got up and ran over.

"Brother, what happened to you today? Why did you come back so late?" There was a hint of complaint in his tone. "I'm almost starving, and the old lady didn't have dinner at night."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu apologized again and again: "Yushui, it's my brother's fault today. The factory arranged for me to go out and cook a meal. I was too busy and didn't have time to come back to inform you. But, look at what this is?"

As he spoke, He Yuzhu raised the four large lunch boxes in his hands.

He Yuzhu didn't need to say it. When He Yushui came over, she noticed the four lunch boxes in her brother's hand. In the past, lunch boxes were seen every now and then in their house. But a few months ago, her brother stopped bringing lunch boxes back. Unexpectedly, he brought four today.

He Yuzhu spread out four lunch boxes on the eight-immortal table and did not keep anyone in suspense: "I am going to cook for someone today, and it is not for nothing. Look, four big lunch boxes, two boxes of meat and two boxes of vegetables."

When she heard that there were meat vegetables, and two boxes at that, He Yushui's eyes lit up immediately.

"Meat dishes?! Really?!"

"When has your brother ever lied to you? Look!"

He Yuzhu directly opened two boxes of meat and vegetables.

Braised pork, braised pork elbow, mutton... These were all made by He Yuzhu's master-level cooking skills, and they were meat dishes of this era. When the lunch box lid was opened, the visual impact and the aroma of the meat dishes made He Yushui, the little girl, dumbfounded. For a moment, she even felt like she was dreaming. Immediately, she slandered him in her heart. He really doesn't know how to live. He dreams of eating meat dishes. It's enough to eat one at a time. These four dishes can obviously be made in four times. I'm really damned!

However, when she was about to put her nose to the food and the scene in front of her did not change at all, He Yushui's heart finally wavered: "Is this... true?"

He Yuzhu looked at the little girl and laughed, then opened the remaining two lunch boxes. There were four lunch boxes in total, and the variety of dishes inside was so rich that many families could not eat them during the Chinese New Year.

It was not until this point that He Yushui was finally able to confirm that his brother really had brought back four large lunch boxes, two of which contained meat and vegetables!
"Go, get the rice out of the cupboard. Let's cook and have a good meal tonight." He Yuzhu said, motioning to Yu Shui, and then looked at the old lady next to him: "Old lady, this is the food I cooked for someone, and the host packed it for you. Please wait a moment, we will have meat together tonight."

When the deaf old lady saw the dishes, her kind face was filled with satisfaction and relief: "My dear grandson, you have this heart. I am happy to see that you are capable now. If it weren't for you, I would probably never be able to eat such dishes in my lifetime at my age."

"Look at what you said. An old man in the family is like a treasure. He can eat whatever he wants. We don't have this habit. Just take good care of yourself and live a good life."

After He Daqing ran away, the He family lost their adult and backbone. Although He Yuzhu is doing well in the factory now, in this era, without an adult at home, there are some natural disadvantages. Apart from anything else, it will be difficult to find a wife in the future, not to mention some rumors.

The deaf old lady was very good to his family. She was of high generation and highly respected. She was the stabilizing force in the yard. As long as the relationship between the two families was good, even if there were many monsters and demons in the yard in the future, his family could be guaranteed to be safe.

He Yuzhu was busy at the stove at home.

Although it is said to be busy, in fact it is just steaming some rice, and the food brought back just needs to be heated up at most.

However, considering the characteristics of this era, He Yuzhu asked Yu Shui to keep the door closed to prevent the fragrance from spreading too much.

In fact, this is just for psychological comfort. Nowadays, people living in such a compound basically cannot hide what they eat at home. If there is any white flour, meat or vegetables, it will be extremely obvious. He Yuzhu did this to make the fragrance in the house not so obvious, so as not to cause psychological imbalance in too many people.

Of course, the safest thing is not to eat it, but this is impossible. He Yuzhu can't just stop eating these meat dishes for fear of causing some discussion among neighbors. He has done what he can do, and as for what others think, it is none of his business.

……

Two hours later.

Dinner was over and the eight-immortals table had been cleaned up. As for the previous scene, one could imagine that the four lunch boxes had been eaten clean, especially the meat and vegetable lunch box, into which the little girl He Yushui poured white rice directly, leaving not even a bit of soup.

In the end, He Yuzhu was responsible for the finishing work.

After He Yuzhu sent the old lady back to the backyard and Yu Shui returned to his own room to rest, he finally had time to take out some of the bills that Director Lou had handed over to him today.

At that time, in front of Director Lou, He Yuzhu did not look at the bills carefully. Now after taking them out, He Yuzhu discovered that the bills totaled fifteen yuan, and among the money, there was a special bill.

Uh-huh? !
When He Yuzhu took a closer look at this special ticket, his eyes widened instantly.
