Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

He has been following Sha Zhu around and doing odd jobs since he was a teenager. Until now, he knew that Sha Zhu had given him the job of selecting and preparing ingredients!

Ma Hua sighed, it seems that Banggeng might have the same fate as himself!

As the old saying goes, teaching an apprentice may starve him to death, so apart from direct family inheritance, I am afraid that no master will sincerely reveal his skills to everyone.

Bang Geng stood there for a long time digesting the food. Not only was he tired and exhausted from working in the middle of the night, but he also felt bloated!

He was so angry that he almost had a fit and wanted to throw two punches at Sha Zhu.

The kitchen was unusually quiet after that. Everyone saw that the father and son were in a bad mood, so no one dared to commit a crime. No matter what they did, they were very careful, for fear of accidentally making Sha Zhu angry.

Until the end of dinner, Banggeng and Shazhu were walking on the way home. The father and son were like strangers along the way. Shazhu didn't know what to say and didn't want to explain anything.

But Bang Geng seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He knew that he began to doubt whether his acting skills were so poor and his disguise was not real enough.

You said you would teach me cooking, is this how you teach me?

Will I be treated the same as Ma Hua?

The more Banggeng thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and finally he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Dad, there's no one around now, and I'm not afraid of others hearing the secret recipe. Can you teach me?"

These words were humble and modest, and they really touched Sha Zhu's heart.

In his heart, he endured it again and again and was in great torment.

After hesitating for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in Sha Zhu's eyes.

"You've only been working for a few days, why are you in such a hurry? Once you've gotten a good grasp of the kitchen duties, I'll teach you slowly!"

Having said that, Shazhu put his hands behind his back and walked forward without looking back, leaving Banggeng alone standing in a daze behind.

Not only was this scene very sad, but even the weather seemed to be against him, as it started snowing...

Snowflakes fell on his head, face, and body!

He hesitated, not knowing whether what Sha Zhu said was true or false!

I don't know if even if I have mastered all the skills of Ma Hua, will Sha Zhu be able to pass on the secret recipe to me.

With hesitation and sadness, Banggeng followed silently back to the compound.

These days Banggeng goes out early and comes back late every day. Qin Huairu sees it and feels sad, so she leaves some food for the father and son even though it is very late.

Similarly, Zhang Cuifang was also very worried about Banggeng. After all, this kid had been causing trouble since he was a child. His character of not being afraid of trouble but still being able to cause trouble made him very worried.

Especially since it was already the middle of the night and the person hadn't returned yet, she was so anxious that she paced back and forth at the gate of the compound.

Sha Zhu walked with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. He almost slipped and fell when he was going up the stairs.

"You're an adult, but you don't even watch where you're walking! You deserve to fall!"

Zhang Cuifang's big mouth is a bad habit that she won't be able to change in a short time, especially when she meets Sha Zhu, she feels like she has met an enemy and she will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't bite him.

And Sha Zhu lost his good mood in an instant, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night pretending to be a ghost and scaring people! You old fool..."

Even though Sha Zhu spoke in a low voice, Zhang Cuifang was not deaf or dumb, so she heard it!

It's not in her character not to explode in anger instantly.

"You are a fool, you are looking for death. I am an old lady waiting for my grandson to come home at the door. How can you be scared? And you are cursing me all the time? You...you are bullying me! You will not die well!"

Zhang Cuifang hasn't fought in a battle for a long time. For the sake of the joke, he chose to endure.

But I didn't expect that I would be standing here in obscurity today and be scolded by my juniors. How could I feel comfortable about this?

If it were in the past, Old Yi would have forced him to kneel down and admit his mistake to him, and even if he didn't admit his mistake, he would have skinned him alive.

Sha Zhu rubbed his eyes, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but for the sake of face, he would not admit his mistake even if he was beaten to death.

He glanced back and saw that Banggeng had not yet entered the alley, so he spoke boldly, "Zhang Cuifang, don't you see what your family is like now? To put it bluntly, if Banggeng hadn't relied on us, would he have achieved what he has today? You're still not satisfied!"

I don’t know if it was because he drank a little wine or what, but Sha Zhu was particularly rude today, and Zhang Cuifang wanted to slap him in the face.

But when it comes to stick jokes, that's her weakness.

Even though I depend on them for a living, I can't be bullied like this!

Zhang Cuifang is not that kind of person at all!

"You idiot, you think you can do whatever you want, relying on your own abilities and Banggeng's support? Don't even think about it! Banggeng will always be my last name Jia! His father will always be..."

"Grandma! Dad! What are you two arguing about again! Grandma, why are you standing outside in the middle of the night? It's so cold, go back to the house! Silly dad, you're tired after a day, go back and rest!"

In fact, Banggeng had been hiding in the dark after he caught up. When he heard Zhang Cuifang reminding Shazhu all the time that he was not his biological son, he could no longer hide and hurried out to interrupt the two of them.

Zhang Cuifang was not a person who did not know what was good for her. She knew that what she said was not good for Bang Geng, so she stopped talking.

But just that one sentence reminded Sha Zhu even more that no matter what time it was, he was a child of the Jia family!

He is also the only child of the Jia family!

Sha Zhu's eyes were a little fuzzy and he walked towards the yard in a daze. Seeing this, Bang Geng hurried to support him, but Sha Zhu's first reaction was hesitation.

The second reaction was that I didn’t want him to support me!

The third reaction is that Banggeng is a child that cannot be tamed!

However, Banggeng still firmly supported Shazhu into the middle courtyard and went straight to the north room.

"Mom, my dad is back. It's too cold and he drank a little. Let him have a good sleep and rest."

Qin Huairu, who is very considerate and caring, saw it all and felt pain in her heart.

"Oh, okay, okay! Mom made you some midnight snack, come inside and eat something quickly, you must be exhausted after staying up all night with your stupid dad!"

Qin Huairu was sitting here holding the stick, while Shazhu fell on the bed and started to sleep.

Banggeng was stunned for a moment and felt that this amount of wine was not enough!

This is really frustrating...

"Tell mom quickly how you're doing in the kitchen lately. Are you tired?"

Qin Huairu took out a big white steamed bun and half a bowl of braised pork while mumbling.

Banggeng's mouth was watering when he saw it. It was such a good time to eat. At his age when he could even show off his two steamed buns after a full meal, how could he resist the temptation of braised pork?

"Thank you, Mom. This meat is delicious!"

"By the way, have Xiaodang and Jingjing eaten yet? Leave some for your two sisters."

Banggeng was so thoughtful that Qin Huairu couldn't find any fault with him.

"Don't worry, both sisters are full, this is specially left for you."

Qin Huairu sat opposite the table, watching Banggeng eat with a smile on her face, and felt that this was also a kind of happiness.
