The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

He Yuzhu touched her head and said, "Don't cry, you've become a little cat now. Eat the remaining buns. On Sunday morning at 9:30, you go to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai goes to buy some things, I'll be the chef, you and I, the deaf old lady and the Yi family will sit down to eat together, he will apologize to you at the table, and this matter will be over, understand?"

He Yushui nodded obediently

"By the way, the decoration of the house is almost done. After dinner on Sunday, we will go to the furniture master's house in the afternoon to choose the style of furniture. When you go back, tell Xiaomei and ask her to tell Song Xia that we will go together on Sunday afternoon. At 2:30 pm, we will go to their house to find her."

"Choose a style? Brother, really?" At this moment, He Yushui seemed to have forgotten about He Daqing and immediately became excited.

He Yuzhu was speechless for a while, thinking, you were crying like a tearful person just a second ago, why are you so excited now? Is this appropriate? ? ?

"Well, you can choose any style in your room."

"I'm leaving, brother, I have to tell Xiaomei right away!"

Watching He Yushui leave, He Yuzhu also rode his bike back to the steel mill.

"Hey, Captain Zhou, good morning. By the way, do you have anything to do tonight? My house is being renovated recently and I live in the dormitory. Do you have anything to do tonight?" He Yuzhu got off his bicycle and handed him a cigarette.

Zhou Jianye was sitting on a chair in the duty room, smoking and chatting with his men. He heard the voice and saw that it was He Yuzhu. He came out of the duty room, took the cigarette and said, "Zhuzi, is your house being renovated? What's the matter? I saw that you first bought a bicycle, then a watch, and now you are renovating your house. Are you thinking about a wife? Zhuzi, which one is it? Have I seen it? Is it pretty? Does it have a big butt?"

Zhou Jianye's series of questions made He Yuzhu a little confused. He asked, "Captain Zhou, brother, aren't you a veteran? Why are you acting like an old woman?"

No matter what he said, Zhou Jianye asked directly, "Zhu Zi, tell me quickly."

"Get lost! Come to the kitchen tonight, I'll treat you to a drink." He Yuzhu pushed the cart and ran away.

From behind came Zhou Jianye's voice saying that he brought two bottles of wine and a series of laughter, hahahaha~

In the past three months, He Yuzhu's reputation in the steel mill has changed. Everyone knows He Yuzhu, the chef of the third canteen of the steel mill. Not only is he fair-skinned, but he is also very skilled in cooking. He is also very easy-going and generous.

The security department in particular had a better impression of He Yuzhu because He Yuzhu always gave out cigarettes from time to time. Those were Beihai cigarettes that cost more than 20 cents a box. Ordinary security department staff members usually couldn't bear to smoke such good cigarettes. Also, due to the nature of their work, the security department always had to eat late. The food in the third canteen tasted good, and if they were late they wouldn't be able to eat. But Master He always reserved the food for the security department in advance, so the entire security department could eat in the third canteen every day. With the same money and tickets, they could eat better food, and the quantity was still sufficient. Who wouldn't be happy?

When they arrived at the kitchen, Ma Hua and Fatty were already there. Ma Hua was instructing Fatty on how to cut the dumplings. In the original play, Fatty was bossy to Ma Hua, because Fatty was more likable. But here, He Yuzhu valued Ma Hua, a loyal and filial son. However, Ma Hua did not bully Fatty. Instead, he had the magnanimity of the head of the sect and was very caring towards Fatty. He always taught Fatty what he knew without reservation.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything about these. He thought it was good for the brothers to be like this. In the original play, the fat man betrayed, and I'm afraid Shazhu was also responsible.

"Morning, Master!"

"Morning, Master!"

"Well, continue"

The day was uneventful. In the blink of an eye, it was past three in the afternoon. He Yuzhu did not receive any notification from the special cooking class. He Yuzhu knew that there would be no special cooking class. So he gave Ma Hua money and asked him to ride his bicycle to buy a chicken, a pound of meat and some vegetables.

"Ma Hua, remember to register at the Security Department! Tell Captain Zhou to come over in the evening."

"Yes, Master."

An hour later, Ma Hua came back with something and put it in the kitchen.

"Ma Hua, Fatty, help me out tonight. I'm going to treat a few people to a meal. You can join us tonight."

"I understand, Master."

"Okay, Master"

He Yuzhu cooked eight dishes, including stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pork slices with green peppers, stir-fried pork with celery, shredded pork with fish flavor, mapo tofu, shredded potatoes with hot and sour sauce, shredded radish with cold dressing, and smashed cucumber. During the cooking process, He Yuzhu deliberately cooked very slowly so that Ma Hua and Fatty could watch more carefully.

At six o'clock, Zhou Jianye came to the small canteen of the third canteen with four bottles of lotus white and six people. Together with He Yuzhu and three others, there were ten people in total, and eight dishes were just enough.

As for why he was having dinner, it was actually because He Yuzhu had been feeling a little lonely. He had been in this world for three months. Although he had a younger sister named He Yushui, they did not grow up together after all. He only had memories of the old deaf woman, but had no personal experience. He Yuzhu just thought that she was good to Shazhu, so he wanted to continue to be good to her, and the old deaf woman would give him the house in the future. As for other people, in his opinion, they were much more indifferent and full of calculations. Only these people in the security department of Zhagang Factory made him feel that he had some real feelings.

There were clinking glasses at the table. He Yuzhu was having a great time today. Among the others, only Zhou Jianye and he drank one glass after another. After all, there was such a table of delicious food, which they could hardly finish normally. After an hour, all the food on the table was finished, and the four bottles of wine were not even a drop. He Yuzhu was seven-tenths drunk, sent the others away, asked Ma Hua and Fatty to clean up, and then he returned to the dormitory.

Chapter 67 Liu Lan's Trouble

For Zhou Jianye, Fatty, Ma Hua and other security personnel, this drinking party was just a drinking party. However, for He Yuzhu, this drinking party was indeed a catharsis. It was an outlet for him to vent the depression he had been feeling since he traveled through time.

The next day, He Yuzhu still had a headache. After all, this was the first time in his two lives that he drank so much wine. He drank more than half of the four bottles of Lianhua Bai. When he woke up, it was almost eight o'clock. He rubbed his head and drank a large glass of water. Only then did he feel better. Then he took his toiletries to the water room and washed his face with cold tap water. He felt much better.

"Oh, don't drink like this anymore. I'm only 70% drunk. I wonder how uncomfortable those people who get drunk easily feel when they wake up."

After washing up, He Yuzhu wanted to ride his bike out to eat breakfast, but after feeling his current condition, he decided to go on foot.

A bowl of wontons immediately made him feel better.

"Hey, people who drink alcohol need to have a wife. If you drink too much, and your wife hands you a glass of warm water, and then eats a mouthful of hot soup noodles made by your wife, how comfortable that would be. Unlike me now, I still have to go through so much trouble..."

After breakfast, He Yuzhu returned to the steel mill slowly.

At this time, it was past working hours, almost nine o'clock. When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw Wang Tiande coming over.

As soon as he got to He Yuzhu, Wang Tiande smelled alcohol. "Zhuzi, how much did you drink yesterday?"

"Director, I didn't drink much. I'm fine now."

"Zhu Zi, it's okay now that you are young, but you still have to drink less," Wang Tiande advised like an elder.

He Yuzhu felt very warmed and said, "I understand, Director. I will pay attention to it next time."

"Well, Zhuzi, prepare a table for lunch. It's what Director Li requested. There are six people. Three of the guests are from Hubei Province, and the other three are from our factory. Oh, right, do you know how to cook Hubei cuisine? If not, make Sichuan cuisine."

"Director, I know a little bit. I'll ask you to approve the note later."

"Okay," Wang Tiande said and left.

After Wang Tiande left, He Yuzhu started thinking about what dish to cook.

Forget about Wuchang fish, so he used bacon to make bacon with garlic moss, braised pork, green pepper fried pork, fried chicken, hot and sour potato shreds, mapo tofu, and a lotus root and pork ribs soup. He thought that was enough, so he wrote the menu and ingredients and went to find Wang Tiande for his signature. Wang Tiande looked at the menu and thought it was okay, so he signed and asked He Yuzhu to prepare it.

Back in the kitchen, He Yuzhu asked Ma Hua and Fatty to take the approval slip to get the materials, then stopped Liu Lan and said, "Liu Lan will have a reception at noon, it's your and Ma Hua's turn, so you can help out at noon", and He Yuzhu was about to leave, but Liu Lan seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He Yuzhu was surprised and asked, "Liu Lan, what's wrong with you? Just say it if you have something to say. It's not like you to be so hesitant."

Liu Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Zhu Zi, I won't serve the dishes or pack up the leftovers today."

He Yuzhu was very puzzled. Liu Lan had always been very enthusiastic in packing up leftovers in the past. What happened today? He asked, "What's going on? Can you explain it clearly?"

At this time, Liu Lan looked aggrieved and a little angry, but she still didn't speak. He Yuzhu guessed that there must be something unspeakable in the middle, so he called Liu Lan to the small private room.

"Sister Lan, tell me, what's going on? Why don't you want to pack up the leftovers now? Are you disgusted?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Liu Lan shook her head. Maybe she was in the private room and thought no one could hear her. She let down her guard a little and tears started to flow.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu was at a loss. These two were in the private room. If Liu Lan was seen in this state, she would have no way to defend herself.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? Don't hurt me. If someone sees me, they'll think I did something to you! Don't cry, my God, how about I leave first and you cry for a while?" He Yuzhu said hurriedly.

Seeing He Yuzhu's performance at this time, Liu Lan, who was still crying, was immediately amused by his appearance, and then said, "Look at your little achievement, I won't cry anymore, okay?"

He Yuzhu patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death"

"By the way, what happened to you today?"

Liu Lan hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Zhu Zi, I told you, don't tell anyone."

He Yuzhu nodded

"Hey, my husband passed away some time ago, and I became a widow. I'm raising a child alone. Although it's hard, I can still get by." A few days ago, Xiao Zao entertained Li Huaide. I was responsible for serving the dishes and you left after cooking. After the meal, Li Huaide saw me packing up and whispered to me, "If I...if, if I do that with him, he said I don't need to pack up these leftovers in the future." I refused, but he said, "Let me think about it." Liu Lan told the story in a halting manner, and then cried:

"Zhuzi, that's the deputy factory director, I'm just a kitchen helper, I'm scared, even though he asked me to think about it, but if I refuse, what should I do in the future? Wuwuwu~" He Yuzhu saw it and started crying again.

But He Yuzhu also understood. It seemed that according to the plot, the old pervert Li Huaide had set his eyes on the widow Liu Lan.

However, during this period, through his contact with Li Huaide, he felt that Li Huaide was lustful, but was only interested in pretty widows. It was probably a legacy of Cao Wei. However, this man was lustful but would not force others. He would make his own conditions and it was all voluntary.

After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu saw that Liu Lan had stopped crying, so he said, "Sister Lan, if you don't want to, just refuse directly. Although Li Huaide is lustful, he should not be the kind of person who would use force."

"If you refuse and he does something bad to you, don't worry, I won't just sit there and watch."

"Of course, if you want, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Seeing He Yuzhu was so sure, Liu Lan felt inexplicably safe, "Zhuzi, if I don't want to, I'll tell him!"

"Well, Sister Lan, today's treat..."

"Yes! When it's my turn, it has to be mine!"

When He Yuzhu saw this scene, he thought, it was Liu Lan who left first. He Yuzhu thought, they are all "brothers" in the same trench, so he should help her if he can. Liu Lan is a pretty good person.

At noon, He Yuzhu's cooking skills were praised by the guests and Li Huaide and others.

After the meal, Li Huaide sent the guests away. Li Huaide returned to the private room and saw Liu Lan packing up. He walked over to her, looked around to see that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Liu Lan, what do you think?"

Liu Lan looked at him and said seriously, "Director Li, thank you. Don't mention that matter again. Don't worry, I will forget it."

Just as He Yuzhu guessed, Li Huaide just looked at her deeply and said, "Well, okay, then work hard. Don't worry, I, Li Huaide, won't do anything. I just hope you remember what you said and work hard." Then he left the private room.

Seeing Li Huaide leave like this, Liu Lan sat down on the chair, patted the waves on her chest, and thought to herself, "It seems to be just as Zhuzi said, I was scared to death." Just that wave of waves, any man would swallow his saliva when seeing it

Li Huaide was not angry at being rejected. Although he wanted to eat Liu Lan, he didn't have to eat her. After all, there were so many prey.

Seeing Li Huaide leave, He Yuzhu entered the small private room and happened to see Liu Lan's actions. He Yuzhu also swallowed his saliva. After all, he was also a man. Liu Lan saw He Yuzhu's expression and eyes, and first blushed, then glared at him. He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly, "Sister Lan, what about Li Huaide..."

"It's okay, thank you Zhuzi"

……

The days passed like this. There was nothing special about the steel rolling mill. He Yuzhu just went to work as usual. Recently, he was very quiet. Yi Zhonghai and Auntie teased the three children every day. Especially with the appearance of Yi Chengen, Auntie thoroughly experienced the feeling of being a mother. Although it was tiring to take care of the baby, Yi Zhonghai and his wife felt very happy, which made them feel that this decision was correct.

The old lady also likes Xiaoying and Nian'en very much. After two days of nutritional supplements, the two are in much better condition. Xiaoying's hair is no longer so yellow, and the skin of the two looks brighter, which makes them even more lovely.

But Jia's Banggeng really disliked the two of them because they could always eat what they wanted, such as meat and candy. He also saw them eating cakes that he had never eaten before.

If it was the Bang Geng who was protected by He Yuzhu, he would have gone up to rob it long ago. But Bang Geng here has not experienced the protection of He Yuzhu, the excessive indulgence of Jia Zhang, and the unscrupulous favoritism of Yi Zhonghai, so he is not so brave. In addition, he went to He Yuzhu's house to steal things a few days ago and was severely beaten by Qin Huairu. Now he can only drool on the side.

When he returned to the courtyard, he was naturally spotted by Yan Bugui. Knowing that Lao Yi was going to treat him, he shamelessly wanted to eat for free. Yi Zhonghai directly said that he had a private matter to discuss and it was inconvenient for others to be present.

But Yan Bugui thought this was just an excuse from Yi Zhonghai, so he continued to say that he could give some advice. Yi Zhonghai was speechless, so he said,

"Old Yan, this time it really can't be possible. We really have something private to do, so it's not convenient for you to go. And the old lady is here too. If the old lady knew that you insisted on going, I'm afraid she would be merciless with her cane."

After being rejected, Yan Bugui returned home in a depressed mood, as if he had lost ten yuan. After the second aunt learned the reason why her husband was unhappy, she also cursed Yi Zhonghai in a low voice for being stingy.

On Sunday, early in the morning, Yi Zhonghai went out and went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, a pound of meat, and an old hen. Then he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two bottles of Lianhua Bai and half a pound of White Rabbit.

At half past nine, He Yushui appeared at the gate of the courtyard on time, and He Yuzhu also arrived at the gate of the courtyard on his bike.

"Yushui, let's go in," He Yushui nodded, and then followed He Yuzhu into the courtyard.
