Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Looking at the third uncle Yan Bugui who stopped walking, Cai Quanwu smiled and said hello.

"Teacher Yan, isn't it cold standing outside?"

The third uncle was a little embarrassed, but there was no truth in his mouth.

"Fortunately, I just came out of the house and wanted to get some fresh air. The stove in the house was burning too brightly and it made me feel stuffy."

After hearing the third uncle's words, Cai Quanwu complained in his heart, "You are the only one who is willing to keep the stove burning unless the sun comes out from the west."

However, everyone was a show-off, and Cai Quanwu didn't point out the third uncle's intention, but followed his words and said: "Well, the fire in the house is too hot, so it's a bit stuffy. The air outside is good, but it's a bit cold."

While pushing the cart toward the middle courtyard, Cai Quanwubian chatted with the third uncle.

"Yes, the air outside is good. Let me get some fresh air outside."

The third uncle had nothing to say, and stared at the basket on the back of Cai Quanwu's car, risking his life.

The two sides were a little far apart, and it was a little dark, so the third uncle couldn't see what was in the basket. He was so anxious that he felt uncomfortable and wanted to get up and take a look.

His eyes turned around and turned to He Yuyu who was pushing the cart behind, and he quickly praised him.

"Yu Yu is really sensible now. He knows how to help your uncle push the cart and hold the basket carefully so as not to fall and break the things."

He Yuyu didn't know the twists and turns in the third uncle's heart, and said in a show off tone:.

"No, third uncle. My uncle's ties are very strong and the eggs in the basket can't fall off. My uncle will cook spiced eggs for me when he gets back later."

Hearing He Yuyu say that there were eggs in the basket, the third uncle felt strange and muttered, yesterday's pork was said to be from the store, could these eggs also be from the store?

If eggs were also distributed, the benefits in this grain store would be great, and things would be distributed every day.

I was thinking about it in my mind, and just when I was about to say something, the bicycle head had already entered the middle courtyard.

The third uncle knew that there was no advantage to be taken advantage of today. He sighed, stamped his feet, opened the door curtain and went home.

When I got home, I sat on a cold stool and kept sighing.

The third aunt saw the third uncle sighing and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Now it's getting harder and harder to take advantage of Zhu Zhu's uncle. If there was a basket of eggs on the bicycle just now, why would Lao Yan give me one or two to try in the past? And yesterday, when pork was given, I helped Si Zhu push it. After getting into the car, I didn’t even get a single hair from the pig. Why do you think he wanted to pick it like me?” The third uncle said very puzzled.

After hearing the third uncle's words, the third aunt thought for a moment and felt something was wrong. She asked uncertainly: "Master, have you offended his uncle Zhuzi?"

They are not a family, and they do not belong to the same family. The third aunt is not generally shrewd. When she heard the third uncle's words, she thought that there must be something going on.

After hearing what the third aunt said, the third uncle stood up and walked back and forth in the room twice. He thought about it again and again, but he really couldn't think of anything. He said to himself: "It's not his fault."

When the third aunt heard the third uncle talking to himself, she didn't believe it and said, "Master, if you think about it carefully, his uncle Zhuzi wouldn't do this for no reason."

"Okay, I'll think about it again, think about it again."

The third uncle kept walking back and forth in the room, muttering.

……

Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu returned home. Cai Quanwu parked the car, untied the rope that tied the basket, and handed the basket to He Yuyu, asking him to take it home first.

After handing the basket to He Yuyu, Cai Quanwu carried the bicycle under the eaves and put it away. He untied the dry goods tied to the car and entered the house with the bag.

In the room, He Yuyu put the basket on the table and lay there looking at the eggs in the basket.

Cai Quanwu walked to the table with the bag in hand, put the bag containing the dry goods on the table, smiled and said to He Yuyu who was lying on the edge of the basket looking at the eggs:

"Yu Yu, go to the kitchen and get an enamel basin. Pick up some eggs and wash them. I'll cook you five-spice eggs later." (Enamel basin: a magical device for holding lard.)

As soon as Cai Quanwu finished speaking, He Yuyu slid off the stool and ran to the kitchen.

After a while, He Yuyu held an enamel basin, followed by Silly Zhu. The two brothers and sisters came into the house together. Seeing the eggs in the basket on the table, Silly Zhu smiled and said to Cai Quanwu: "Uncle, what's the best in your store?" It’s so generous to give out so many eggs again.”

Cai Quanwu glared at Silly Zhu and said, "Why do you want to do good things and send things out every day? This is what I picked up by the way when I went to the countryside to buy wild boars. It's money. There are so many good things."

Before Silly Zhu could recall his thoughts, Cai Quanwu pointed at the bag on the table and said:

"The dry goods in this bag are for distribution."

Silly Zhu heard that the dry goods in the bag were for distribution, so he walked over to untie the bag and said with a smile: "In short, it is generous to distribute things, no matter what."

As he said that, he turned to look at He Yuyu who was picking up eggs in the enamel basin, and asked with a smile: "Yuyu, don't you think so?"

He Yuyu didn't have time to pay attention to him. He was picking eggs in the basket without raising his head. He just made a few hums in his mouth to cope with it.

Seeing that He Yuyu ignored him, Silly Zhu felt a little like asking for trouble, then he opened the bag and pulled out the contents.

After a while, he pulled out a few dried chickens and several dried rabbits.

It was originally a bit of bacon, but Cai Quanwu didn't want it. He couldn't get used to it because of the smoke.

Seeing these dry goods, Shazhu almost smiled crookedly. They were all good stuff.

Picking up the dried pheasants and hares, he kept nodding his head while looking at them, muttering, "This one is good, that one is good."

Silly Zhu looked at the dried pheasants and rabbits for a while, then put them aside and continued to pick up the bag.

After a while, he pulled out a bunch of mushrooms, fungus and other dry goods.

Looking at Silly Zhu, whose face was almost bursting with laughter, Cai Quanwu ordered: "Zhu Zhu, put all the things away and save them for later."

Silly Zhu originally thought that Cai Quanwu would put things away and ask him to take whatever he wanted from his cabinet. He didn't expect that he would be so generous this time and let him keep it. He said happily:

"Okay, uncle, I will definitely put it away."

With that said, he packed the things in bags and took them to his room.

Looking at He Yuyu who was still carefully picking up the eggs, Cai Quanwu said with a smile: "Okay, let's cook thirty of them. Don't compare the sizes anymore, otherwise you will definitely not be able to eat them today."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's words, he hesitated for a moment before He Yuyu moved his eyes from the eggs in the basket to the enamel basin.

At this time, Cai Quanwu said to Silly Zhu in the room: "Zhuzi, put the eggs away too."

"I know." Shazhu replied from inside the room.

Knowing that Shazhu heard his instructions, Cai Quanwu smiled and said to He Yuyu:

"Rain, let's go wash the eggs."

With that said, he opened the door and walked towards the pool in the courtyard with He Yuyu.

It took the two of them a long time to wash the eggs. The water was too cold and their hands turned red from the cold.

Fortunately it was cold and no one came out, otherwise we would have to explain why we washed so many eggs.

Return to the house with the eggs, take off the kettle from the stove, put the enamel basin on it, pour water from the kettle, and stop when it covers the eggs.

Putting down the kettle, Cai Quanwu came to the kitchen and said to Silly Zhu who was cooking: "Zhuzi, pick out a bone from the wild boar meat you brought back yesterday and chop it into two halves. I'll pick it up later. By the way, Clean it up."

As he said that, he picked another large spoonful of salt from the salt shaker and put it in his hand. He took the bottle of five-spice powder he took out last time and walked out of the kitchen.

When I came to the house, I sprinkled salt into the enamel basin and poured some five-spice powder into it.

After doing this, he handed the five-spice powder to He Yuyu and said, "Yu Yu, take this to the kitchen and see if your brother's bones are done."

He Yuyu took the five-spice powder, hummed, and ran to the kitchen.

As soon as He Yuyu left, Cai Quanwu came to the table, grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the tea can, returned to the stove, and put the tea leaves into the enamel jar.

After a while, He Yuyu came into the house with a bone in his hand, handed it to Cai Quanwu and said: "Uncle, I said it can only be cut like this."

Cai Quanwu took the bone and took a look. He saw that his knife skills were good and the cut was very clean.

Throwing the bones into the enamel basin, Cai Quanwu clapped his hands and said to He Yuyu on the side: "It's done, we're just waiting to eat."
