From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

More than an hour later, Wang Tianfeng shouted in the kitchen: "The dumplings are ready, come to the kitchen and get them."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's three daughters, Yu Shui and Sha Zhu all went into the kitchen and started working.

Soon all the dumplings were served on the table. Looking at the green dumplings, red dipping sauce, and the exquisite presentation, He Daqing and his son Sha Zhu couldn't bear to eat them.

To them, this is no longer just a dumpling, but a work of art.

Wang Tianfeng said: "Everyone, please start eating the dumplings. They will not taste good if they get cold."

"I made a lot of dumplings today, including jade dumplings and crown-shaped steamed dumplings, enough for everyone to eat."

Then everyone tasted the dumplings and praised Wang Tianfeng's cooking skills.

After tasting the dumplings, He Daqing was so excited that he almost cried and said, "I have never eaten such delicious dumplings in my life."

While eating dumplings, Sha Zhu said incoherently: "Tianfeng, these dumplings are so perfect, can you teach me how to make them?"

Wang Tianfeng took a sip of red wine and said lightly: "Of course, and these Phoenix Jade Dumplings and Crowned Steamed Dumplings will be the signature dishes of our restaurant."

"So when I teach you, you must learn it seriously. Even if you can't learn it perfectly, you have to learn 70% or 80% of it."

Sha Zhu nodded, indicating that he would study with full concentration.

He Yushui said: "Silly brother, you should learn how to make these two kinds of dumplings carefully so that I can eat dumplings every day."

Brothers Wang Zhining and Lou Zhiyuan rolled their eyes and said, "Aunt, you are too greedy."

Little Jingyi also said: "Big brother and second brother are right, being greedy will make you fat."

He Yushui pretended to be angry and said: "You three little things still want to control me? Especially since you two little brothers eat more than anyone else."

Father Lou laughed and said, "You two are just equals, so stop blaming each other."

Compared with the lively life on Wang Tianfeng's side, the life on the beasts' side was much quieter.

In the front yard, the Yan family members were staring at the food on the table, which were still the usual three things: steamed corn bread, pickles and cornmeal porridge.

The eldest son Yan Jiecheng said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, today is the Little New Year, and our family is still eating these things?"

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's complaint, others also began to complain in dissatisfaction.

Yan Jiefang said: "Dad, my eldest brother is right. There are three people earning wages in our family now, and we also pay a lot for food expenses every month."

"You can't still eat these things during the New Year. I remember we discussed this issue at home last year. Why are you still doing this?"

Yan Bugui's old face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed. Although his family's life was better now, he would reach retirement age in a few years.

However, his calculating habits that he had been using for many years could not be changed. It could be said that even if Yan Bugui was given a mountain of gold, he could not change his calculating habits.

When the third aunt heard the children's complaints, she shouted at them: "What are you yelling about? It's good enough that you have something to eat. You are still picky. I can see that you have never been hungry."

"Have you forgotten that when there was a famine, if it weren't for your father's planning and thriftiness, you guys would have starved to death long ago."

Hearing his wife speaking for him, Yan Bugui also said confidently: "Your mother is right. If it weren't for my calculations, would you have grown up so big?"

"Do you know what it means to have enough food and clothes to wear, but to be poor if you don't plan well?"

"At worst, when the Chinese New Year officially starts in two days, I'll ask your mother to make a few more dumplings for you. That should be fine, right?"

Yan Jiefang muttered softly: "Who knows what will happen today? Anyway, you two old people are right."

Hearing Yan Jiefang's dissatisfaction, the third aunt said coldly: "I think you are itching for trouble again, right?"

Just when the third aunt was about to teach Yan Jiefang a lesson, there was a knock on the door.

When Yu Li opened the door, she saw a middle-aged woman named Cui Xiuyun, who was holding a roast duck and a sausage in her hands.

Yu Li warmly welcomed Cui Xiuyun in, and the Yan family members' eyes lit up when they saw what the old lady was holding.

The third aunt greeted warmly: "Xiuyun, you said you would come, so come. Why are you so polite?"

Although he spoke politely, his hands were not slow at all and he took the roast duck and sausages naturally.

An old lady smiled and said, "It's boring to be alone at home, so I bought some food to share with you guys."

"Old Yan, Guifen (the names of the three aunts), you guys won't mind me coming here to eat for free, right?"

At this time, Yan Bugui and the third aunt were so happy that they couldn't open their eyes, and said repeatedly: "How could that be? As long as you don't mind that my food is poor."

All the children of the Yan family stared at the roast duck and bacon on the table. Even the youngest, Yan Jiedi, was drooling from greed.

Ever since they had a sumptuous meal at Wang Tianfeng’s house last time, the Yan family hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, and now they couldn’t wait to grab some.

Yan Bugui said: "My dear, take the roast duck and sausage to the kitchen and cut them."

After saying that, Yan Bugui handed the roast duck and sausages on the table to the third aunt, and gave her a look before leaving.

Having lived together for so many years, the third aunt naturally knew what her husband meant.

When cutting the roast duck and sausages, the three aunts each left a small half.

When the two items were served, Yan Bugui began to distribute them to everyone. Even the guest, an aunt, admired Yan Bugui's fairness.

Even the smallest piece of sausage at the bottom of the bowl would be cut into several pieces by Yan Bugui with scissors and then distributed to everyone.

After Yan Bugui had distributed everything, several people began to eat with big mouthfuls.

During the meal, Yan Bugui asked with a smile: "The New Year is just a few days away, Xiuyun, what are your plans?"

"I see that you must be lonely, why don't you come to my house and celebrate the New Year together?"

The old lady nodded and said, "Thank you, Old Yan. I won't be polite to you anymore."

Yan Bugui replied: "No, no, it's lively when there are many people around during the New Year. What's the point of you being alone and lonely?"

Yan Bugui said this on the surface, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "When the New Year comes, this old lady will definitely feel embarrassed to come empty-handed, and my family can then make a small profit."

The aunt also knew Yan Bugui's character, but she didn't care about it. In her opinion, although Yan Bugui was a bit calculating, he was still a good person overall.

At least Yan Bugui would not be like that hypocrite Yi Zhonghai, who was up to no good and went around hurting people.

Yi Zhonghai is now paralyzed, which can be regarded as the retribution he deserves.
