Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

A pig lung, not too big or too small, is just right for making two dishes: one stir-fried and one soup.

The main benefit is that pig lungs are very helpful for treating weakness and cough. For example, He Yushui, who is in poor health, can drink pig lung soup to replenish his strength.

Of course, the most important thing is that the method of making pork lung soup can be very simple, and you can also add other things to make it a stewed tonic.

Cut the prepared pig lungs into pieces, then put them into a clay pot, bring to a boil, and then place the clay pot on the stove to simmer over low heat.

Stir-fried pig lungs is a much simpler and more straightforward method. Of course, ordinary families probably can't do what He Yuzhu does, since he had already stored a lot of seasonings in his space back in the cafeteria.

After all, if he doesn't use those seasonings, the other chefs won't be able to use them all either, and it will be a waste in the long run.

He Yuzhu started pouring oil into the wok and stir-frying, and immediately, a powerful aroma filled the air. Many of the children who had been watching from outside all rushed to the window where He Yuzhu was cooking, watching him prepare the food.

Even the stick that Qin Huairu was holding was put down by Qin Huairu at this moment.

He Yuzhu didn't pay any attention to the group of children.

It's normal for a child to be hungry at this time and come over to watch him cook; no one will say anything about it.

However, there's a condition: you can't come over when others are eating, otherwise it would seem like you have no manners.

One of the things that many people dislike about Qin Huairu is that she comes to people's homes to ask for money while they are eating, which is the most annoying thing about her.

"Brother, are you stir-frying pig lungs now?"

After handing the salt to her brother, He Yushui took the newly bought hair tie and went to the backyard to play with Xu Damao's younger sister, Xu Xiaoling.

While playing in the back, He Yushui smelled a rich aroma and immediately knew that her brother was making pig lungs.

So he quickly ran home, and before he even entered the kitchen, he saw those little ones gathered around his house outside the window.

"You're back, just in time. The food is freshly cooked. Steam the buns, and then we can eat." He Yuzhu said, as he stir-fried all the pig lungs and served them.

Tell He Yushui to take the pot to the sink to wash it, and then bring over another pot of water.

He Yuzhu picked up a piece of pig lung with his chopsticks and said to the children.

"You boys, all of you line up. If you don't, you won't get any food."

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu was giving them pig lungs to eat, the children immediately lined up and stood there, even two-year-old Banggeng joined the crowd.

The first one, Liu Guangtian, the eldest, said to He Yuzhu, "Thank you, Brother Zhu."

Good, kids become more sensible as they grow older. He Yuzhu was very satisfied and picked one up for Liu Guangtian.

The second one is his younger brother, Liu Guangfu. Although he is young, he politely called him "Brother Zhuzi".

Then there were a few left, and each of them was very polite.

When it came to the last stick, the kid actually reached out and took it.

He Yuzhu thought Bang Geng was too young and might not understand, so he didn't pay much attention and just said to him.

"Hey, look how polite the other kids are. If you call them 'Uncle' too, I'll give you one."

"No way! Grandma says you're an idiot, I don't want to call you 'idiot uncle'!"

As soon as Bang Geng finished speaking, He Yuzhu's face turned black with anger. Qin Huairu, who was standing not far away watching, heard this and quickly ran over.

"Zhu Zi, don't be angry. This kid is just being silly and talking nonsense." Then he turned to Bang Geng and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Bang Geng, you need to be polite. Call him 'Uncle,' understand?"

At this time, Banggeng was still very obedient. When he heard Qin Huairu call him "uncle," he obediently called He Yuzhu "uncle."

After Qin Huairu carried the stick back, she spoke to Jia Zhangshi, who was chopping meat.

"Mom, today Banggeng called Zhuzi an idiot. Don't say things like that in front of the kids next time."

Jia Zhangshi was happily chopping meat when she heard Qin Huairu say this, and she immediately became dissatisfied.

"I didn't say anything wrong. Besides, is it wrong for Bang Geng to call Sha Zhu a fool? It's not wrong. We don't care about his stuff anyway."

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she raised the knife in her hand that she was chopping meat.

Jia Dongxu had a day off today, so he went out early in the morning before dawn and bought half a pound of meat.

Having not tasted meat for so long, Jia Zhangshi was also craving it, so she quickly took over the task of chopping meat and prepared to do it herself.

Qin Huairu was happy to have some free time when she saw her mother-in-law finally doing some chores herself.

"Mom, it's fine to say this at home, but saying it like this in public makes it seem like our family has no manners."

"Alright, alright, I know, you're so long-winded," Jia Zhangshi said impatiently.

At this time, Qin Huairu had just given birth to her son, Banggeng. This was the moment when she held the highest status in the family, and Jia Zhangshi did not make things difficult for her.

At the He family home, He Yuzhu felt rather unlucky. He had been in a good mood today, but who knew he would encounter such a thing.

"What's wrong, brother? You look unhappy." He Yushui came back and saw her brother looking displeased, so she couldn't help but ask.

He took the pot of water from He Yushui and put it on the stove to boil.

When He Yushui went to fetch water, he recounted what happened to him.

"Who are they? There's no one good in their family." He Yushui was displeased when she heard this.

He Yuzhu was curious when he saw his younger sister like this. After all, many fanfictions have mentioned that He Yushui treated Qin Huairu quite well.

"Their family isn't very good, but Qin Huairu should treat you well, right? I often see her bringing a stick to play with you." He Yuzhu asked He Yushui tentatively.

He Yushui's face fell at the mention of this, and she pouted, saying, "Every time she comes to play with me, I have candy that you bought for me in my hand, otherwise she won't come."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this. It seemed that He Yushui's impression of Qin Huairu was not as good as it would be later.

Perhaps it's not the right time yet. After all, He Yushui is still young, and there are many things about girls that Qin Huairu doesn't need to teach her.

It's likely that He Yushui's impression of Qin Huairu will change when Qin Huairu comes to teach some girls some things.

"Alright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things anymore. The stewed pig lungs are ready, come and try your brother's cooking."

The steamed buns were still a little lacking, but the soup was ready. He Yuzhu picked up the soup, ladled out a bowl, and let He Yushui try it.

Looking at the milky white soup, which didn't smell particularly special, He Yushui took a sip.

Huh?

He Yushui let out a soft exclamation, "How come this soup tastes so good?"

Seeing He Yushui's expression, He Yuzhu was pleased.

"It tastes good, doesn't it? I stir-fried the pig lungs before making the soup, and that turned the soup white. In the future, if you make soup, you can stir-fry these first before cooking. The soup will turn milky white and taste delicious."
