The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

Yan Bugui watched the box of vegetables go away from him, as if he had missed out on a billion. However, He Yuzhu's words made him so angry that his face turned red, and he went home angrily.

When he got home, there was another "bang" and he slammed the table. Then he checked to see if the table was broken and found that it was fine. Then he said, "This idiot Zhu is really too much! He didn't give me food, but let me see it!" At this point, he covered his chest, as if he was heartbroken...

After returning home, He Yuzhu took out half of the food from the lunch box and sent it to the backyard.

"Grandma, this is the food in the lunch box that I brought back today. I'll give you half of it. You and Auntie can heat it up and eat it together at noon tomorrow."

After He Yuzhu left, the deaf old lady's eyes moistened. She thought of Yi Zhonghai again and said to herself, "Zhonghai, stop scheming. All your scheming will end up in vain. Didn't the play say that a clever scheme can lead to the loss of your beloved's life? I have to talk to Zhonghai if I have a chance. This Zhuzi is a kind-hearted person."

He Yuzhu opened a bottle of Xijiu, which he got by signing in through the system. He took a bite of the dish first, then took a sip of the wine. It was really rich and full-bodied with a strong aroma of sauce. "The wine is really good, but it's a pity that I can't invite others to drink it together, otherwise I can't explain it."

Chapter 53: First meeting Lou Bancheng, second meeting Lou Xiaoe

He Yuzhu, who was lying on the bed, was smiling foolishly as he recalled every detail of his time with Song Xia today.

He Yuzhu felt that his performance today was perfect, especially with his own cooking skills. He Yuzhu did not think that he, as a cook, was unworthy of the identity of an employee of Songxia Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

After all, I am already a level 7 chef at such a young age, not to mention that I have this system bug.

The next step is to take the initiative. After all, judging from Song Xia's performance tonight, she doesn't dislike him. This is a good sign. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu feels that he will have a wife soon. This way, he will have something to do every night in the future, hehehe~

He Yuzhu fell asleep in his fantasy

The days passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the rain to go home.

Early on Friday morning, He Yuzhu was looking forward to He Yushui coming home, and then he planned to have Yushui and Song Xiaomei go out together tomorrow.

As soon as he arrived at the steel mill, Wang Tiande came over and said that there was an important reception at noon and asked He Yuzhu to do a good job.

"Director, which senior leader is coming to inspect this place and is asking you to treat it with such caution?"

"He is our factory's former major shareholder, Boss Lou Zhuzi. Let me tell you, this Boss Lou has been around a lot. Do you know what nickname he had in our capital? Lou Bancheng!

Do you know what this means? His assets can buy half of the city!

So, Zhuzi, you have to show your true ability. If this capitalist picks on us, our factory will be embarrassed," Wang Tiande said, patting He Yuzhu on the shoulder.

When He Yuzhu heard it, it turned out to be Lou Bancheng. He didn't expect to see him so soon. In the original work, it seemed that something happened to the Lou family in 1966, and Shazhu went to ask the big leader to save them before they met.

"Don't worry, leader. Our ability will definitely not bring shame to our factory!" He Yuzhu assured Wang Tiande.

Wang Tiande was actually unsure, after all, Lou Bancheng was too famous.

He Yuzhu remembered that Lou Bancheng's concubine was from the Tan family, and his stepfather said that his family was a family of Tan family cuisine, so they should have a connection.

But from Sha Zhu's memory, He Yuzhu learned that the cooking skills of their family's Tan family dishes were secretly learned by He Yuzhu's grandfather. Sha Zhu's grandfather was the chef of the Tan family, but Sha Zhu's grandfather was a shrewd man. He spent ten years secretly learning some Tan family dishes, but not all of them. So, he should not be conspicuous and say that he is the successor of Tan family dishes.

He Yuzhu thought about what to cook for lunch, then found a piece of paper and wrote it down:

Nine-turn large intestine, squirrel mandarin fish, four-happiness meatballs, Mushu pork, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, hot and sour potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage, and finally a very famous Sanhen soup in the Shandong and Henan areas

However, since I can't find mandarin fish right now, I can only use sweet and sour carp instead.

He Yuzhu thinks eight dishes and one soup should be enough, with Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, and this standard should not be a loss of face for the steel mill.

Then, He Yuzhu listed the ingredients and went to find Wang Tiande. Wang Tiande looked at the menu and thought it was okay. He was just a little surprised that He Yuzhu could cook Shandong cuisine. But he didn't care and just signed the list.

Holding the list, He Yuzhu asked Ma Hua and Fatty to go get the materials. Fatty and Ma Hua got the materials back, and He Yuzhu said to them,

"You two, help me later. Also, when I cook, you need to pay attention and learn. Write down the things you don't understand and I'll explain them to you later. Do you understand?"

The two of them naturally nodded in agreement, especially the fat man, who was even more excited. He had only been here for a few days and his master, although he was not allowed to call him master, was now teaching him how to cook.

At 11 o'clock, Wang Tiande came to see how the preparations were going. He Yuzhu told him that they were ready and it depended on when the guests would arrive.

"Zhu Zi, the preparations are very thorough, good! I just received a notice that the banquet will start at 12 o'clock."

At twelve o'clock, the guests took their seats, and Liu Lan brought He Yuzhu's dishes one by one. Even the factory leaders drooled at the aroma of the dishes, after all, He Yuzhu had never cooked those Shandong dishes in the factory.

The dishes were served, and He Yuzhu, Ma Hua and Fatty were eating the dishes that had just been taken away in the kitchen. But just when they were halfway through, Director Yang's secretary came over to inform them that the guests wanted to see He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart, "Just eat, why meet a cook? Is it really like in other fan fictions, wanting me to be their family's private chef? Do you want to die? You donated all your property, and you still want to do this? I dare not get close to a big capitalist like you, didn't you see that Xu Damao's grandson never got promoted in his life just because he became your son-in-law?"

While complaining in his heart, He Yuzhu followed the secretary into the small private room.

But as soon as he entered the small private room, He Yuzhu saw Lou Xiao'e was also here, but He Yuzhu did not intend to greet her. After all, this was either the deputy director or the director's secretary.

"Old Lou, this is our factory's seventh-level chef, Master He Yuzhu. Although he is young, his cooking skills are really good," Director Yang said with a smile to a middle-aged man next to him who was wearing a Mao suit, had short hair, and was slightly fat. This man was Lou Bancheng.

He Yuzhu thought, this must be Lou Bancheng. He looks quite elegant, not like a boss who dominates the business world, but more like a teacher.

"Oh? This table of dishes is made by you, Xiao He. Not bad, the cooking skills are great. Even in Fengze Garden, this table of dishes is of very high quality, especially the nine-turn large intestine, which is not much worse than Fengze Garden. I didn't expect that our steel rolling mill is really full of hidden talents."

Hearing these flatteries, He Yuzhu also smiled innocently. He Yuzhu didn't notice that since he came in, Lou Xiao'e was very excited.

In fact, Lou Bancheng came to the steel mill this time because Lou Xiao'e asked him to do so. She heard that there was a very good chef in the steel mill and she wanted to try his food.

In fact, she just wanted to confirm whether He Yuzhu was really in the steel mill. Lou Bancheng thought, what kind of high-level chef can a steel mill have? He Daqing was good back then, but the dishes he cooked were equivalent to the level of a sixth or seventh-level chef. There was nothing he could do. He Daqing was good at Tan's cuisine. The ingredients for Tan's cuisine were hard to find, so he usually cooked Sichuan, Shandong, and Huaiyang cuisine. He could cook these, but his level was just so-so, and could not compare to the level of Tan's cuisine.

Finally, under the situation of Lou Xiao'e's coquettishness, Lou Bancheng reluctantly agreed to come. The reason for coming was not to try the food, but to see the current situation of the steel mill. After all, it was his life's work. The leaders of the steel mill naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, Lou Bancheng was still the major shareholder of the steel mill.

After exchanging a few words with the leader and Lou Bancheng, He Yuzhu went down.

Lou Bancheng had done what he promised his daughter and was about to go back home after dinner, but Lou Xiao'e said she wanted to take a look around the steel mill.

Lou Bancheng asked Director Yang for a set of work clothes, and Director Yang was naturally happy to agree. After all, this was the capitalists getting closer to the working class.

In the small private room, it was the other people's turn to pack up. This made Liu Lan jealous. She saw that half of the dishes were left.

At about 2:00 p.m., Ma Hua told He Yuzhu that a female lesbian wanted to see him.

He was curious, could it be Qin Huairu, but Ma Hua knew Qin Huairu?

When they arrived at the canteen entrance, they found that the person was Lou Xiao'e. He Yuzhu pretended that he could not remember her name, "You are... the comrade from the library, named Lou, Lou something'e." Lou Xiao'e was very happy to see that He Yuzhu remembered her, but she was a little disappointed that he could not remember her name.

But she also felt that being able to remember herself and the two characters in her name was good. After all, she had only seen him once. Perhaps this was the woman who was in love. Everything was so beautiful for the person she loved.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, my name is Lou Xiao'e. I tasted the dish you cooked at noon today. I think your cooking skills are great," Lou Xiao'e said in a low voice with a red face.

He Yuzhu pretended not to know and asked, "Did you eat the food I cooked for lunch?"

This sentence meant that He Yuzhu didn't notice her at noon. She felt a little disappointed, but she still said generously, "I came here to accompany my father."

He Yuzhu pretended to be enlightened and said, "Your father? Is it Mr. Lou? Your last name is also Lou, so your father is Mr. Lou?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded

He Yuzhu touched his head and said, "I thought so, but you think my craftsmanship is good, which is a recognition of me. Thank you, Comrade Lou Xiao'e"

"By the way, Comrade Lou Xiao'e, are you here to work at the factory?"

"No, this dress was lent to me by Uncle Yang. I came here for..." At the end, Lou Xiao'e's voice was very low, and He Yuzhu didn't hear it, and then asked, "For what?"

Lou Xiao'e grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands, then raised her head suddenly and said with a red face, "I came here to see you! Comrade He Yuzhu, I like you!"

He Yuzhu thought, I was confessed to, this is the first time in my two lives! Should I agree? No! I like Song Xia, although Lou Xiao'e is pretty, I still like Song Xia more, and I think Song Xia is more suitable for me. What should I do now? Waiting online, it's urgent!

Chapter 54: Rejecting Lou Xiao'e and Playing with Yan Bugui Three Times

He Yuzhu was stunned for a few seconds after being confessed, but soon came back to his senses and looked at Lou Xiao'e, whose face was flushed in front of him. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After all, he didn't want anything to happen between him and her. Other male protagonists dared to make trouble, but He Yuzhu didn't dare. Although he had a system, facing the tide of the times, he was just a small Karami and could not protect himself, he could not protect himself at all!

Lou Xiao'e looked at the stunned He Yuzhu and her face turned even redder. She wondered if she had scared him. After all, few girls were so bold.

He Yuzhu was stunned for half a minute, then made up his mind and said, "Comrade Lou Xiao'e, I am flattered by your love for me, but I think we are not suitable, and I already have a girl I like, so, Comrade Lou Xiao'e, I can only say sorry!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard He Yuzhu's words, she was shocked. She never thought that He Yuzhu would reject her.

On the one hand, Lou Xiao'e is proud and has a certain degree of confidence in her appearance and figure; on the other hand, her family conditions are very good, so she thinks He Yuzhu should not refuse, but the reality is that he rejected her.

In an instant, tears fell like beads from a broken string, and then Lou Xiao'e ran away. However, after running a few steps, she resolutely turned around, wiped her tears and said to He Yuzhu, "Comrade He Yuzhu, I will not give up!" After that, she ran away.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e's departing back, He Yuzhu could only sigh and thought, "Ah, this is fate. In the original book, you gave birth to a son for Sha Zhu, but I can't protect you in this life, so I can only ruthlessly reject you. If you can't escape fate, you will still marry Xu Damao, but I have already reminded Xu Damao that he should be cured after a while, so you won't have to endure the humiliation of your previous life in this life. This can be regarded as repaying the favor Sha Zhu owes you."

There was no reception in the afternoon, so He Yuzhu went home early, found a deserted place, took out a duck from the breeding space, and prepared to make a ginger duck for He Yushui.

Back at the courtyard, Yan Bugui was waiting at the door early again, smiling and greeting everyone who came back. He then took the opportunity to ask, "What did you buy? What are you going to eat in the evening? What do you want to eat at home? Can you lend me something?" and so on, taking advantage of others.

Just now, I saw him asking for a shallot from Auntie San because he wanted to eat noodles with shallot oil, but he didn't have any, so it wasn't worth it to go out and buy some. Auntie San gave him one with a constipated look on her face, and then walked into the yard with a unhappy look on her face.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming over with a duck, Yan Bugui was about to go over, but thinking of the previous two experiences, he wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and wanted to go home to avoid Shazhu, but was stopped by Shazhu.

"Second uncle, you're leaving school so early again today? It seems that being a teacher is still comfortable, you can leave school so early every day. But I see that the children who go to school haven't come back yet. Second uncle, you are not leaving early, are you?"

"Zhu Zi, don't talk nonsense. I only have one class this afternoon. I just came back. How can I be considered to have left early? It doesn't count!" Yan Bugui explained.

"Oh, I said something wrong, I'm sorry, Uncle."

Maybe it was because of the calculating nature in his bones that he couldn't help but say, "This duck is really fat!"

He Yuzhu lifted the duck and said to Yan Bugui, "That's right. A fat duck is only 2.5 yuan, but this one only cost me 2.80 yuan. I can use half of the duck for soup and the other half for ginger duck. It tastes so good. Uncle, have you ever tried it?"

Yan Bugui shook his head with embarrassment and said with a smile, "No, you know my family situation, how could I afford to buy a duck to eat? And you know your second aunt's cooking skills, if the duck is not cooked well, it will easily have a fishy smell."

"Second uncle, come here and I'll tell you how to make it less smelly. It's..." He Yuzhu told him the method, and Yan Bugui asked, "Really?"

"How could I lie to you? I will do it this way in a moment. If you don't believe me..." He Yuzhu stretched out his words.

"I'll try it?" Yan Bugui took it subconsciously.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you go buy one and try it? Hahahaha," He Yuzhu carried the duck into the middle courtyard.

Yan Bugui was so angry and regretful at the same time. He knew that he could not gain any advantage but he still went ahead.

Today He Yuzhu got off work early, and the laundry chicken Qin Huairu hadn't started work yet, so it was a relief.

I returned home, took a knife to the sink, and quickly cooked the duck just as I had told Yan Bugui. I used half of it for soup and the other half for ginger duck. The men in this city are so nauseating!

Jia Zhang, who was at home, saw He Yuzhu when he came back with the duck, but she could only watch and curse at him at home. Now that she smelled the fragrance, the memory of being beaten almost overwhelmed her greed.

At this time, the door was pushed open and Qin Huairu came back from work.

"Qin Huairu, go and cut me some meat to satisfy my craving!" Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes and said loudly

Without the blood transfusion from Shazhu, the Jia family's life was bland. Although they could eat enough, they didn't eat cornmeal steamed bread, but steamed bread made from three-way noodles was their staple food. As for two-way noodles, they only ate them once or twice a week at most.

The best food in the Jia family was the food Qin Huairu got from the canteen of the steel mill. Qin Huairu was reluctant to eat it, so he used the soup to make steamed buns. He would take the leftovers home to supplement Banggeng's nutrition. However, half of it was always eaten by Jia Zhangshi. As for Xiaodang, he often couldn't even get the soup.

Qin Huairu was angry but dared not say anything about Jia Zhang's behavior. She could only lie in bed and cry silently in the dead of night.
