Start with a Siheyuan

Chapter 130 Showing off your cooking skills
"I heard the conversation between Lao Yi and Lao Liu, saying that Li Lang helped to contact the canteen of the rolling mill tomorrow, and there would be hundreds of catties of meat. I guess Li Lang made a lot of money from that meat."

Yan Bugui looked around and confirmed that there was no one there.
Then he said to the third mother.

"Hey Hey."

"This road is really wild." The third mother said.

"Li Lang doesn't hold grudges, and now he is giving us apples and beef." Yan Bugui sighed.

When Yan Bugui heard the words of the third mother, his eyes immediately brightened.

"I'll be more polite when I see Li Lang in the future." Yan Bugui reminded the third mother.

"It's up to you."

"definitely."

The third mother lightly bumped Yan Bugui's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Let's make a stew."

"I have parsley and potatoes at home."

"I want to eat."

Yan Bugui stuffed the beef wrapped in kraft paper into the hands of the third mother and couldn't wait.

"Virtue."

The third mother rolled her eyes and immediately went to the kitchen.

"Eat beef today, Dad, Mom."

Yan Jiefang, the second son of Yan Bugui, came back, and when he heard the word stewed beef, his mouth was drooling, and his mouth was curled up.

"This is the beef sent by Li Lang."

"You and Li Lang are about the same age. You look at others, and you don't have a serious job yet. Our beef was sent by Li Lang. You can buy me some beef anytime."

Yan Bugui was upset after seeing Yan Jiefang.

The eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, is already married, and the second son, Yan Jiefang, is a little bit hard to find a wife, at least he needs to have a serious job.

"Humph."

"It's not that I don't want to buy beef at home, I just don't want to eat it."

Yan Jiefang snorted coldly.

"Then don't eat the beef today, it happens that Jie Kuang and Xie Ti are growing up, so let them eat more meat." The third mother said.

"I don't want to eat it, but I don't want to eat it. The main reason is that I like the feeling of our family eating. You all eat beef. I don't eat it, so I don't fit in." Yan Jiefang said with a smile, he was proud of his wit.

"You're also a little smart."

"It can't be a great tool." The third master Yan Bugui said.

"Second uncle, here is a pack of beef for you."

Li Lang parked his bicycle, went to the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house and gave the beef to Liu Haizhong.

In fact, he wouldn't care about what happened in Yan Bugui's house.

"beef!"

"Li Lang, this beef is from the same batch as the beef you sent to the canteen of the rolling mill." Liu Haizhong opened the kraft paper package, and it was indeed a large piece of beef. He even weighed it and asked Li Lang.

"No."

"The steel mill belongs to the steel mill, and mine is mine." Li Lang shook his head and said.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Liu Haizhong smiled.

"I'll keep the beef. Whether it's in the steel factory or in the courtyard, as long as I can help." Liu Haizhong said.

"Come on you?"

Li Lang waved his hand and went to the uncle Yi Zhonghai Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Liu, Lao Liu, what are you talking about with Li Lang?" The second aunt just came back from shopping and asked when she saw Li Lang had just left.

"Li Lang sent beef to our family."

"Look at the texture of this beef is amazing."

"If it's braised, it tastes..."

The second uncle Liu Haizhong looked at the beef in his hand, he was already hungry.

"Today's meal, I will cook myself." The second uncle Liu Haizhong said again.

"Row."

"I'll help you." Second Aunt said.

Liu Haizhong's cooking skills are not much better than the second aunt's.

It's just that cooking in person shows respect for beef.

"Hey, I bought meat."

In the room, Liu Haizhong's third son, Liu Guangfu, was lying on the bed to save his energy. If he moved less, he could eat less food. He was overjoyed when he saw Liu Haizhong grabbing a piece.

"Not for you."

The second aunt said ruthlessly.

"why."

Liu Guangfu's heart was broken immediately.

Haven't eaten meat for a long time, and you still can't eat it even though you bought it?
"If you want to eat meat and go out to find a job, we can still support you forever." The third mother continued.

"The elder brother was idle at home for several years before he started working. You just give him stewed meat. Always keep him close at home if you have any delicious food."

Liu Guangfu defended himself, and immediately felt that his parents were too partial to his eldest brother, and they were not his own.

"You can compare with your big brother."

"He's the boss." Second uncle Liu Haizhong said to Liu Guangfu.

Then I went to stew with the second aunt.

"When will we have leftovers for you two." The second uncle said again.

At this moment Liu Guangtian came out from the back room.

"Guangfu, the two of us are redundant in this family." Liu Guangtian looked into the kitchen with an extremely complaining look and said.

"Ah."

Liu Guangfu thinks so.

……

Li Lang gave a large piece of beef to the uncle Yi Zhonghai Yi Zhonghai and the eldest mother.

Eldest Master Yi Zhonghai and Eldest Mother usually eat with the deaf old lady at night, so giving it to them is equivalent to giving it to the deaf old lady.

Then Li Lang didn't deliberately bring any more meat to the deaf old lady, but just walked around empty-handed to the deaf old lady, chatted, and went back when he had nothing to do.

"kindness?"

"The rain is back." When Li Lang returned home, he saw He Yushui looking at his new car.

"Who put the bicycle in front of your house?" He Yushui immediately smiled when he saw Li Lang and asked Li Lang.

He Yushui missed watching a movie with Li Lang last night very much.

That's great.

It's not just TVs that look good.

"I bought this bicycle." Li Lang said lightly.

"what?"

"You bought a bicycle again!" He Yushui was very surprised on the spot.

Li Lang's current salary is higher than that of He Yuzhu.

"I just bought it today." Li Lang said.

He Yushui would not doubt the authenticity of Li Lang's words.

"How long do you have to save money and industrial vouchers? Anyway, I can't afford a bicycle. My current money can at most buy a wheel." He Yushui sighed.

But He Yushui's salary is also good, more than 20 yuan a month.

"Do you want to have dinner together now? Anyway, your brother is not at home, so I will help you."

Li Lang did not continue to talk to He Yushui about the bicycle, but asked He Yushui.

"Okay."

He Yushui nodded repeatedly when he heard Li Lang's idea.

She wanted to stay with Li Lang, and while talking, Li Lang directly put a killed chicken into the house from inside.

"But I don't know how to cook..."

He Yushui was a little embarrassed. Compared with her father and elder brother He Yuzhu, her cooking skills were much worse.

"I do."

"I can still do this little work."

Li Lang didn't take it seriously, he opened the door and ran straight to the kitchen after speaking.

The kitchen is full of seasonings such as shiitake mushrooms, onions, ginger and garlic.

"I'll help you." He Yushui said.

He Yushui's cooking skills are not as good as He Yuzhu's, but they are not bad.

Her cooking skills are even more superb. After all, she comes from a family of cooks. No matter how poor her cooking skills are, she still has some work. At least she is much better than Chef Yeluzi.

He Yushui helped wash some dishes. Li Lang and He Yushui planned to cook three dishes, one was beef soup, one was roasted eggplant, and the other was spicy chicken.

There is a lot of rice at home, and the staple food is steamed rice directly.

In fact, as a northerner, Li Lang still prefers to eat noodles, but he only chooses rice when there is not much white noodles.

Northerners are fine with rice and noodles. If you are a southerner, some people may not be used to noodles.

"Whoa..."

With delicate hands, He Yushui began to wash the coriander, and then skillfully peeled it with a knife.

It is also possible to burn the eggplant without peeling it, but it seems that He Yushui prefers to eat peeled ones, so Li Lang just let her do that, as long as she is happy no matter what she does.

Lift the briquette stove cover, light a fire under it with dry wood, pour water into the pot, open the window, Li Lang boils the beef first and then squats the beef soup, otherwise there will be a fishy smell.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, briquettes are used for boiling water and cooking, but it will cost more in winter.

"Did you learn to cook when you were an educated youth for three years, Li Lang?"

He Yushui asked Li Lang after peeling the eggplant and putting it on the chopping board.

"It will be soon."

Li Lang answered truthfully.

"what?"

"I just know how to cook recently, why don't I come?"

When He Yushui heard that Li Lang was just meeting, she hesitated for a few seconds, she would be compared with He Yuzhu if she didn't know that again, and He Yushui's cooking skills are definitely not comparable to her in small restaurant cabinets.

She was afraid that Li Lang would waste the meat, after all, the things in front of her were all good things.

"it does not matter."

Li Lang laughed it off.

"Ok."

"Then I will guide you later." He Yushui said.

Widow Qin's house next door was full of excitement at this time, her mother-in-law asked Widow Qin to get her a shoe sole, Huaihua and Xiaodang were chattering on the bed, and the sticky clothes were placed next to the sewing machine, and they would be patched later .

Li Lang's house is next to Widow Qin's house, and Widow Qin's house is between Li Lang's and He Yuzhu's.

"Snapped!"

"Li Lang just delivered beef to the home of the first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle, and the third uncle. I saw it with my own eyes."

Stick pushes the door open and reports the situation to Widow Qin.

Widow Qin knew very well which family in the courtyard house had the most food surplus.

Stick is a student when he goes to school, and after school, he is the eyeliner of Widow Qin.

"I gave apples a few days ago, and now I'm giving beef. It seems that Li Lang's life is getting better and better. I didn't expect that there would be surplus meat to give away." Widow Qin nodded and said.

"Three catties of beef, but give it away?"

"I feel like the meat is worth at least a dollar and a half."

"Especially in the vegetable market, it's not easy to buy." Widow Qin's mother-in-law turned green when she heard that Li Lang gave three catties of beef to the three uncles in vain.

It's not just meat, it's life-saving rations. Their family eats light food every day. How can they afford to eat meat? Occasionally they have to go hungry. If they want to eat enough, they all rely on He Yuzhu to bring home the leftovers from the steel factory and let the boss eat. Geng went to steal He Yuzhu's box lunch, and his family had a tooth-fighting festival for supper.

The leftovers that He Yuzhu brought back were usually hard goods, and the last time they were all sausages.

Widow Qin's family has not bought meat for at least half a year.

If you need to pay for stealing He Yuzhu's meal, I'm afraid the widow Qin's family has eaten half a set of courtyard houses or even more.

"Huairu, you have to build a good relationship with Li Lang, and when the time comes to deliver meat, you will also send a piece to our family."

"Maybe we can have another meal like this."

Widow Qin's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, said to Widow Qin very seriously.

"What does it mean to have a good relationship?"

"If someone wants to send whomever they want, that is their freedom."

"I won't have a good relationship with any man." Widow Qin said.

His friend made it seem like she was a wave, and took the initiative to hook up with men.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"I made a slip of the tongue."

"I was really in a hurry when I spoke just now, and I got the primary and secondary questions wrong."

"It's because you and He Yuzhu are so familiar that we get along better as neighbors." Her mother-in-law quickly changed her words.

She was a good mother-in-law when she begged Widow Qin.

"Mom, you have a good relationship with Shazhu, why don't you do it?" Tong Tong said without restraint, he really didn't understand.

Two drops of sweat dripped from Widow Qin's forehead, but she never thought that she was her real son.

The mother-in-law immediately regained her spirits, and what the stick said was right.

"I have a good relationship with Shazhu because the two families are next to each other. After living in a compound for a long time, we will naturally get close. Li Lang is five or six years younger than me, and the two of us have nothing in common."

Widow Qin explained very seriously that this involves her reputation.

"Actually, I can find a relative in my family to get in touch with him. If it works, that would be great."

Especially the stinky mouth of the mother-in-law is really very stinky, and this matter must be made clear.

"Mom, you said that you can't have a good relationship with Uncle Li, but now that you've made a move, I think you're just saying what you mean." The third daughter Huaihua said.

"Yes." The second daughter, Xiao Dang, nodded.

"You two need to talk." Widow Qin said with a straight face.

I didn't think that the whole family would be demolished.

"If our family's economy and Uncle Li become husband and wife, then our family can have two long-term meal tickets."

"What kind of long-term meal ticket, it's hard to say."

"You can't let other people hear what you said about the stick, have you heard it, especially Shazhu?" Widow Qin turned cold.

"Oh……"

Stick nodded, and Widow Qin went to the kitchen without saying much.

Today, Widow Qin's family eats potatoes, and potatoes are cheap recently.One catty of national general food stamps can be exchanged for ten catties of Zuojiazhuang potatoes.

There is no way that their family has to think about how to eat and save money every day.

……

At this time, Li Lang had already stewed the beef well.

Chili and scallions, all kinds of seasonings are ready, and then the spicy chicken is started.

The movement is very skillful, and it will turn the pot.

The vegetable pot burned directly, and the flame took a while to fall.

He Yushui looked at him dumbfounded. Could this level mean someone who just knew how to cook?

I didn't expect that other people's cooking skills were so good.

The aroma of the beef in the pot is amazing.Soon the taste of spicy chicken came out, it was fragrant and spicy, which whetted the appetite.

Many people cook with seasonings that are greater than the taste of the food itself. The flavor of beef or chicken is brought into full play. It can be said that the most beautiful taste of the food itself is developed to the extreme.

Braised eggplant is also fragrant.
