Siheyuan, counterattack from the proficiency panel

Chapter 34: Lou's father's arrangement. Please invest and read on.
Of course, He Yuzhu was also full of curiosity.

It was also his first time riding in a car of this era, but after sitting for a while, he came to a conclusion.

That is……

poor!

That's right.

The old Beijing city now does not have neat asphalt roads.

It's a dirt road with many gullies and ravines. When encountering potholes, the car feels like it has springs.

Anyway, after sitting for a while, He Yuzhu's butt was already hurting so much that his whole body seemed to be about to fall apart.

It was simply incomparable to the comfortable family sedans that would become available decades later. If he hadn't held on tightly to the armrest beside him, he really doubted whether he would have been thrown out.

Fortunately, it’s only a dozen minutes’ walk to the small Western-style building where Lou Bancheng is located, which is also known as a single-family manor and can be regarded as a small villa of this era.

After getting off the car, He Yuzhu walked towards the kitchen with ease without any further introduction from Lou Bancheng.

As for He Yushui, there is naturally someone to take care of him.

He Yuzhu came to the kitchen. Lou Bancheng had already asked the servants to prepare the ingredients in advance, so He Yuzhu only needed to make a few dishes based on the ingredients.

There are fish, shrimps, and even quite a few green vegetables.

At this time, it was freezing cold and most people either ate cabbage or potatoes. Lou Bancheng was still able to get so many fresh green vegetables, which really had a lot of energy.

However, these had little to do with He Yuzhu. After taking a look at the ingredients, his mind reacted quickly and he made a menu.

Braised prawns, steamed sea bass, braised pork, braised eggplant, braised wheat, shredded pork with green pepper, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, smashed cucumber, etc.

It took two and a half hours to finish cooking these dishes.

Although it was winter, the kitchen was filled with smoke and was rather stuffy. He Yuzhu was sweating all over. He simply took off his cotton coat, which made him feel better.

In the front hall, Director Lou and his family were having a great time eating.

The main reason is that He Yuzhu’s craftsmanship is really good.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu simply cleaned up the leftovers in the kitchen. He was just finishing the dish, so he secretly filled two lunch boxes and would take them back to eat with Yushui later.

After hiding the lunch box, He Yuzhu said goodbye to Lou Bancheng. Lou Bancheng, who was enjoying the meal, not only gave He Yuzhu a red envelope of 100,000 yuan, but also asked Secretary Liu to drive He Yuzhu and his sister back home.

After leaving Lou's house, it was already completely dark outside.

When I returned to the courtyard, the whole courtyard was quiet. Except for a few households with lights on, most of the residents had already gone to bed.

After all, it’s late at night and there’s not much entertainment. It’s so cold, so it’s better to go to bed early.

However, letting He Yuzhu come back by car did not cause much shock.

After thanking Secretary Liu, He Yuzhu took the rain back home.

"Is the rain hungry?"

He Yuyu nodded.

He Yuzhu lit the kerosene lamp, touched Yu Shui's head, and said, "Wait here, I'll go to the kitchen to heat up two steamed buns."

After saying that, He Yuzhu got up and went to the Lou family.

After eating and drinking, the servants cleaned up the mess. Lou Bancheng and his family leaned back on the sofa. Tan Yali said, "Old Lou, He Yuzhu's cooking skills are really good. It would be great if we could let him come to work in our house in the future. Our daughter likes the food he cooks."

Lou Bancheng shook his head and sighed, "If it was in the past, there would be no problem, but now... the situation is different, so we should keep a low profile."

Tan Yali naturally understood this and said, "We can eat anything, but Xiaoe has been very picky about food recently. She ate a lot of the food that He Yuzhu made today. She usually only eats a few bites of the food made by the nanny. If this continues for a long time, I'm really worried about her health..."

Lou Bancheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I asked you to find a suitable candidate for Xiaoe. How is your search going?"

Tan Yali frowned and sighed, "I looked at many families according to the standards you mentioned, but as soon as they heard about us, they all refused. In addition, Xiaoe was also very resistant to this."

Originally, according to their conditions, Lou Xiaoe could be considered a "lady of noble family". Even if she didn't have to find a suitable match, the conditions couldn't be too bad.

Must be worthy of their daughter.

But the reality is that even if they take the initiative to lower their status, not many people dare to marry them.

The current situation is such that what can we do?

Suddenly, Tan Yali's heart moved, and she said, "What do you think of this silly Zhu?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Bancheng instantly understood what his wife meant.

Yes, it’s really dark under the lamp!
Why didn't he think of that?

He frowned and said, "As far as I know, He Yuzhu's father is He Daqing, who used to be the chef of our steel mill cafeteria, but later hooked up with a widow and ran away with her. This He Yuzhu is his son, so he must have inherited his father's cooking skills and is a great cook."

Tan Yali said, "Then why don't you ask around about He Yuzhu recently? His cooking skills are pretty good, and his father ran off with someone else. If Xiaoe really follows him, she will be able to eat and drink well, and she won't have to take care of her parents-in-law. I think that's great."

Lou Bancheng stroked his chin and said, "Then I'll ask around tomorrow."

When his wife mentioned this, it reminded him of the first time He Yuzhu came to the factory. He was young but had great cooking skills and his cognition was still very clear.

Giving him 650,000 yuan, knowing that he could not keep it, and actively asking for a reduction in salary, most people would not be able to withstand such temptation.

Know how to hide. These days, the most feared thing is capable people. The more capable you appear, the more powerful you are...

The more easily you are envied by others, the easier it is to be persecuted.

From this we can see that although He Yuzhu is young, he is very wise.

It seems that they are a family that can be trusted.

Moreover, it seems that He Yuzhu's family is not a wealthy family, otherwise they would not have been so poor before.

Thinking of his daughter, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but sigh. In this era, he was already worried about protecting himself.

After donating the private school, he also planned to donate the steel plant to leave a good reputation.

His future plan for Lou Xiaoe was to marry a worker. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see the trend of the times.

However, Lou Xiaoe always disagreed and made a fuss at home. There was no choice but for Lou Bancheng to put it on hold temporarily. However, as time went by, the situation became more and more urgent.

A choice must be made!
Now that he has made arrangements for his daughter, he can rest assured.
