Chapter 87 There must be something wrong with the third generation of the Silly Zhu family
Duan Hongxuan was thinking about the problem and followed Yan Jiecheng to the middle courtyard.
The middle courtyard is very lively at this time.
There are six tables of different sizes in the middle of the yard, with some melon seeds and peanuts scattered on the tables.
Some adults and children were sitting at the table, cracking melon seeds and chatting animatedly.
There are also some naughty children running around in the yard, playing with each other.
In the open space in front of Yi Zhonghai's house, two simple stoves have been set up, with a long table and a square table placed next to them.
The tables are filled with various ingredients and condiments, and there is also a chopping board on the long table. Silly Zhu is busy there at this time, sorting out various ingredients.
There are several large pots filled with dishes on the open space next to it. A mother is taking a few wives and aunts in the yard to wash the dishes and vegetables next to them and help Shazhu.
There was something simmering in the pot on the stove, and it was emitting white steam and a tantalizing aroma.
The adults and naughty children who were chatting in the seductive courtyard glanced at the stew pot on the stove with longing eyes from time to time.
There were even a few half-grown boys standing not far away, drooling and holding their fingers in their mouths, watching eagerly!
As soon as Yan Jiecheng led Duan Hongxuan and He Yuyu into the middle courtyard, he shouted loudly: "First Master, Second Master, Hongxuan and Yuyu are here!"
This voice attracted the attention of everyone in the yard.
I saw a man and a woman who came in with Yan Jiecheng. The man had a tall figure and fair skin.
That face looks even more handsome under the background of phoenix eyebrows and starry eyes.
Looking at that slightly smiling face, one can't help but feel a little distracted.
The whole body is full of bookishness, but it does not look weak. Instead, it gives people an inner masculine beauty, but does not make people feel strong.
This feeling full of contradictions, coupled with that smiling face, makes people feel good involuntarily.
The girl next to her has a delicate and rosy face, a pair of big bright eyes, a small rosy mouth under a delicate nose, and an oval face. Against the backdrop of a light pink dress, she looks like a beautiful little girl. This man and woman stand together, giving people the feeling of a golden boy and a beautiful girl.
While everyone admired in their hearts, they were even more surprised by this girl.
The rain has changed so much.
Everyone's previous impression of He Yuyu was that he had yellow hair, was skinny, and had a disheveled look on his face.
Who would have thought that in just a few months, people would change so much.
My body has become fleshy, my skin has become whiter and tenderer, my face has become rosy, and my hair has become black and shiny.
She has clearly transformed from a malnourished firewood girl into a little beauty.
The three uncles were all sitting at the same table at this time, happily holding the big teapot, eating melon seeds and chatting from time to time.
When I heard Yan Jiecheng's shout, I looked back and felt a little lost.
The uncle reacted quickly and waved to Duan Hongxuan, saying loudly: "Hongxuan, Yuyu, come on, come and sit!"
Yan Jiechen was originally dissatisfied with the job he was assigned, and he also had objections to Duan Hongxuan.
At this moment, I finally managed to get the person there with a smile on my face. When I saw the old man coming to greet me, I immediately said to Duan Hongxuan: "Hongxuan, Yuyu, the old man over there is calling you over!
You two are the protagonists today, so I won’t disturb you!"
Duan Hongxuan quickly thanked you: "Thank you Brother Jie Cheng. I bother you to wait at the door in person. It's really troublesome for you!
You are busy with your business, just let Yuyu and I go there!
You’ll have to eat and drink well soon!”
"Hahaha, no trouble, no trouble.
I promise to eat and drink well in a while, see you later!"
Duan Hongxuan brought He Yuyu to the table where the three uncles were sitting, and greeted the three uncles respectively.
He even waved to Shazhu specifically and said thank you for your hard work.
Silly Zhu also waved his hand cheerfully, and then went back to work on his business with great interest.
Watching the two of them sit down, the elder Yi Zhonghai said enthusiastically: "Come on, Hongxuan, Yuyu, let's eat some peanuts and melon seeds first.
You two arrived just in time. Let’s sit down for a while and have some snacks.
I estimate that the banquet will start in just over half an hour.
Yuyu dressed up so beautifully today, she is about to become a big girl.
Study hard when you go to high school, and then go to college like Hongxuan, so that our compound can produce a college student!"
The third uncle next to him, Yan Bugui, interjected: "Yes, Yuyu. The eldest son of your second uncle's family and I both graduated from high school.
The remaining children can only study so much, and we don’t expect them to go to college.
You have a good reputation, and you can go to college later and bring glory to our college!"
Not to be outdone, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, when Yuyu is admitted to college, speaking of which, our college has also produced a college student, and the three of us uncles will have face when we go out!"
He Yuyu was a little embarrassed to tell the three uncles, and said quickly: "I will definitely study hard, try to get into college, and bring glory to our compound."
Duan Hongxuan listened to their conversation and thought to himself, He Yuyu really has no way of getting into this university!
Judging from the timeline, if you don’t work early after graduating from high school, you will only be able to go to college for more than a year at most.
When the strong wind comes, not only will it be impossible to go to school, but people will have to be sent to some remote countryside.
From beginning to end, Duan Hongxuan had no intention of letting He Yuyu go to college.
Graduate from high school safely, and then find a way to help her find a job as soon as possible.
By then, as long as she goes to work and has a formal job, going to the countryside will have nothing to do with her.
But there is no way to talk about these things now, we can only wait until He Yuyu graduates from high school.
By then, He Yuyu's grades will really enable her to be admitted to college, and Duan Hongxuan will also have many ways to make her give up the idea of going to college.
Although Shazhu was once arranged by his father to learn authentic Sichuan cuisine from a Sichuan chef, what their family has passed down is the authentic Tan family cuisine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Silly Zhu himself also considers himself the heir of Tan family cuisine.
What kind of food is Tan's cuisine? It's a serious official cuisine. The diners are basically dignitaries, and ordinary people can't afford it!
Tan's cuisine specializes in abalone, ginseng, wings and tripe. It is made from dry ingredients, the broth is cooked over a long fire, and the stew relies on steaming. The emphasis is on one word: expensive!
The materials used are precious, the workmanship is exquisite, the price is expensive, and the diners are distinguished.
Even the dishes used to serve the dishes are decorated with gold and silver, showing nobility everywhere!
Ordinary people can occasionally go to restaurants with other cuisines for a satisfying meal. Tan's cuisine and other cuisines are basically two different styles, and ordinary people cannot afford them at all.
An heir to Tan’s cuisine once jokingly said: “The cooks of Tan’s cuisine don’t know how to cook!”
What do you mean? This cook can’t cook, so what’s going on?
In fact, it’s not true that people don’t know how to cook, nor do they know how to stir the pot.
It’s because Tan’s cuisine basically doesn’t involve frying, but the most important thing is that it’s an attitude.
It shows the style and quality of Tan’s cuisine. We don’t cook ordinary dishes by flipping pots and spoons.
This is the style you want!
Therefore, the chefs of Tan's cuisine have always been guests of those dignitaries.
Before liberation, the chefs of Tan's cuisine were not on the same level as the chefs of other cuisines.
Chefs from other cuisines are hired workers in restaurants, but ordinary restaurants cannot afford to hire chefs from Tan’s cuisine.
Even if it is a restaurant that specializes in Tan's cuisine, the chef hired must participate in profit sharing, so he is not an employee.
What's more, where did the nickname Silly Zhu come from?
Isn't it his father, He Daqing, who steamed the buns himself and asked Sha Zhu to sell them?
Once when Shazhu was selling buns and encountered a group of defeated soldiers, the seller next to him threw down his things and ran away to save his life first.
Silly Zhu was so stupid that he still wanted to protect the buns. He was holding several cages of buns and was chased for several streets by the defeated soldiers.
In the end, I escaped because I was familiar with the terrain. On the way home, a businessman bought all the buns.
When he returned home happily and gave the money to his father, he found that it was all fake money. He Daqing was so angry that he yelled: "You stupid pillar!"
This is how we got the nickname Silly Zhu!
Does He Daqing really only love widows and not care about the children? Not necessarily!
So even though Duan Hongxuan had no intention of letting He Yuyu go to college, he still encouraged her and gave her the feeling that he would definitely help her get into college.
Because Duan Hongxuan was sure that he could bring up the matter of political review when the time came, He Yuyu completely gave up the idea of going to college!
