Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Comrade driver, let me take charge of the stove. The flame is crucial at this time. If you can't control it well, the bear paw will be overcooked and the essence inside will be lost."

He glanced at the firewood behind him: "Si, this bear paw is not easy to cook. We don't have enough firewood to burn it."

"Wait a moment."

After handing Nan Yi a cigarette, he asked Chen Xueru to clean the vegetables during this time. Tonight, he planned to use this bear paw to hold a luxurious banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

Hearing that her father and brother and sister-in-law were invited, Chen Xueru was very excited. She had not gone to work or returned home in the past few days.

After being born and growing up in this Chen family for many years, it is inevitable that I miss my family when I come to a completely unfamiliar new place.

Then Chen Xueru invited He Yushui to work together.

At the same time, Li Aiguo, carrying a bundle of hemp rope, walked slowly to the basement, tied up some dry firewood, and then carried it back home.

As I passed by the pond next to the water source, I heard what seemed to be a family noise.

"Wife, let me tell you something. Li Aiguo and his men have invited Master Nan Yi to make that bear paw dish. I heard that this kind of food can add several years to a person's lifespan. Remember to bring some home for us to try when you pass by his place later." Jiang Huiru explained helplessly.

"Mom, don't you know Li Aiguo? It's useless even if you go find him. He has the kind of personality that won't give anyone face." Qin Heru said with a sad face, feeling extremely frustrated.

She was just thinking about how to accuse and report Li Aiguo's behavior, but now she is considering taking it from others. What kind of mentality is she in!

"Don't dream. Last time, you did the same thing and got beaten back to the countryside. Don't do that again!" Yu Shuhui was speechless when she saw her daughter-in-law's irrational behavior. She had to turn around and go back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

When Qin Heru saw her mother looking at her with anger on her face, her heart suddenly felt cold.

Li Aiguo frowned when he heard the noises of the fight: what he wanted to know was where Jia Dongxu was. Considering that he had to visit Chen's house again and invite a few friends, he decided to finish the work at hand as soon as possible.

Therefore, he quickened his pace and returned home quickly. He first piled the dry firewood behind the stove, and then rode his bicycle to the silk shop again.

Li Aiguo's friend Chen Fangxuan adhered to the old-fashioned etiquette and was usually reluctant to host banquets at his children's residence unless there were other special circumstances. Hearing about such delicious food, coupled with the constant urging of his sister-in-law, he agreed to come and eat. The trip back and forth took almost half an hour.

When we returned to the courtyard where everyone lived, the bear paw had already been taken out of the soup pot.

Nan Yi’s cooking skills are excellent. He has almost completely cleaned the entire bear paw and removed the skin.

The process seems very easy, just using tools to gently remove the hair on the surface and quickly remove the skin while it is hot, but in this narrow and humid kitchen, the pot that has just finished cooking is very similar to the steaming steamer. There are many things to pay attention to, and every action must be accurate and measured. Even someone as strong as Li Aiguo needs to spend a lot of thought and energy to complete it successfully. In the end, the whole cooking process can only be completed around seven o'clock.

On the other side, Qin Shuhua chatted with Chen Xueru for a while and then started to prepare dinner.

Under the stewardship of chef Nan Yi, with the help and cooperation of Qin Shuhua and two friends, every dish was placed on the table close to nine o'clock.

Aunt Li was already so hungry that she could not bear it any longer. She returned home, took out the iron box of biscuits that she had asked Li Aiguo to buy, and shared it with everyone to fill their stomachs. They barely managed to get through this period.

Zhang Dapao maintained his childlike nature and playful character. He took the plate and placed it on the table, complaining softly, "Oh, my God, we waited so long just to eat a delicacy from the palace. Think about those ** in the past. Wouldn't they be starving at that time?"

"What do you know, kid?" Wang Da Kui slapped him on the forehead, "Don't think about those slick things. Think about it, they have people to serve them and prepare meals in the morning. Can an ordinary family like ours do that?" He said sternly.

In this way, everyone put their food on the table while joking back and forth. As the number of people increased, the square table was no longer enough to hold all the tableware and food. So a large table from the Liu family was brought over and placed side by side with the other tables. Finally, everyone reluctantly found a suitable place to sit down.

Afterwards, Li Aiguo invited Mr. Nan to the table to eat together. He opened the bottle cap of Maotai liquor to prepare liquor for Nan Yi: "Master Nan, I have suffered a lot today."

Mr. Nan couldn't help but sigh while holding his wine glass, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

Before the Liberation Period, kitchen staff were often treated as the first guests to be served and the first to taste wine and eat. Nowadays, few people understand this traditional rule.

Li Aiguo continued to pour a glass of white wine for Mr. Chen Dafang, his elder brother, Ms. Chen Xiaoru, Da Kui, Da Pao and others, while Dasao and He Yushui were served with tea. Finally, he also asked for a glass.

The second glass of wine was naturally used to salute Mr. Chen Dafang: "Father, thank you for raising such a good child!"

Since arriving at the Li family, Chen Dafang, who always had a stern face, also showed some signs of being moved. He was usually very good at speaking, but at this moment he couldn't say a word. After his mouth twitched slightly, he raised his glass and toasted.

Tears sparkled in the corners of Ms. Chen Xiaoru's eyes. Her elder brother and his wife nodded in approval because she had made a very good choice in marriage.

As a few rounds of drinking went on, Li Aiguo's face turned slightly red. After Chen Dafang started to pick up the dishes, he picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of bear paw.

The taste is both fresh and salty, the texture is soft and sticky and the taste is almost similar to stewed pork elbow, there is no difference.

However, what is surprising is that both Chen Dafang and Zhang Dapao think that bear paw tastes extremely good and regard it as the most delicious and best food they have ever tasted in their lives.

Even the chef Nan Yi was eating and drinking at the same time, and his face turned red from drinking.

Li Aiguo kept filling Chen Dafang and his elder brother's glasses with drinks, and the room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Mrs. Jia stood beside the big rock, leaning against the window, and she took a deep breath of the food aroma that came out of the cracks. Oh, my life can be extended for another two years.

Yeah, at least I can add one more year to my age this time.

Hehe, I hope I can live three more years.

As a man, how could I tolerate such a thing?

Happy times always seem to pass so quickly.

About two hours later, Chen Xueru suddenly ran to the cupboard and started busying herself.

"Xue Ru, come here quickly."

"Don't worry, I found a treasure."

Miss Chen tossed around quietly for a while, secretly grabbed the two paper bags, and climbed onto the bed with a blushing face, sitting next to Li Aiguo like a frog.

Seeing her sneaky look, Li Aiguo felt something was wrong, so he asked, "What's in your hand?"

"Sister Wang from the street office came to our house today to distribute something to us." Chen Xueru clenched her lips and hesitated for a long time, but in the end she did not say the specific words.

Finally getting a little angry, she threw the paper bag to Li Aiguo: "You decide for yourself."

Confused, Li Aiguo took the paper bag and looked at it carefully.

There is a small card on the back of the bag that explains: The product has four size options: large, medium, small, and tiny. Users need to choose the appropriate size according to their personal situation. It should not be too tight or too loose.

Before using it for the first time, it is recommended to check it by filling it with air or water.

This thing can be used repeatedly. After use, wash it with warm water and dry it, and apply a thin layer of talcum powder in a box and store it, which will be more convenient to use next time.

The manufacturer is marked as Qindao Rubber Factory.

Can this thing be reused?

Li Aiguo originally had a clear idea about this product, but this explanation made him confused again.

When he turned to the front and saw the pattern on the package, he immediately confirmed his judgment - this was the contraceptive device of the future world, but what was the significance of the medium size? It seemed to have a hint of contempt no matter how he looked at it.

"We haven't considered the issue of avoiding childbirth." Li Aiguo said with a frown.

Seeing his serious look, Chen Xueru stared at him with her big watery eyes and said enthusiastically: "I want to try it."

What a curious girl! No wonder she was so familiar with all the details in just a few days.

"If you want to try it, there's nothing wrong with that. But this one may be a little small. You'll need at least a larger size," Li Aiguo reminded.

"No problem. Sister Wang said it has good elasticity and can accommodate any size."

Seeing that Li Aiguo did not raise any objections, Chen Xueru tilted her head, recalled the demonstration clip of Sister Wang, and followed her example. After tearing open the bag, she took out the thing and carefully put it on her finger.

At this moment, Li Aiguo's face was full of astonishment and disbelief, while Chen Xueru, who was standing beside the bed, seemed very satisfied with her performance. She looked at her fingers triumphantly and said, "Look, isn't this just right?"

After a moment of silence, Li Aiguo asked softly, "Do you think this thing on your finger can fully play its intended role?"

"Yeah, fingers!"

Chen Xueru frowned and examined the rubber glove on the back of her hand, and suddenly felt helpless.
