Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

Chapter 101 Busy Phase (3 chapters in 1)

Xiao Qian's plan to go out for a good meal in the afternoon was ruined.

It took a long time just to make all the radishes into pickled products, such as pickled radishes, sour radishes, dried radishes, shredded radishes, etc., and I was busy until eight o'clock in the evening.

Yang Hehua placed these jars and cans on the ground under the closet. If there were not enough jars and cans, she would put them in the corner of the room. This was mainly to keep them grounded so that the pickled products would be more fragrant.

During this period, Xiao Qian watched and learned.

For dinner, I just had some steamed buns, pickles and egg custard.

Stockpiling winter vegetables turned on the busy button of the Siheyuan, and the entire Siheyuan was in a very busy stage afterwards.

The 300 kilograms of cabbage purchased from the street office are subject to purchase limits. There are few people in this family, so this is enough vegetables for the winter. But if there are many people in the family, this is not enough at all.

So I went to the pigeon market to buy some winter vegetables to make pickled foods.

Yang Hehua had been teaching cooking in the second canteen for more than three months. Master Ma and Master Yang had also mastered some skills. In addition, Yang Hehua also gave them some seasonings. Now it was time for people to come and serve in the second canteen.

Li Huaide knew that someone in Yang Hehua's family had joined the army, and that the food prepared by Master Yang and Master Ma was also edible, but he only asked Yang Hehua to host at least two receptions a week, and let Master Yang and Master Ma handle the rest of the receptions.

Yang Hehua also nodded and agreed. After all, the Red Star Steel Mill was now famous for its hospitality.

Someone also asked Yang Hehua to go out and cook a dish, and Yang Hehua always followed her leader's instructions.

Director Wang had taken Yang Hehua out several times to prepare entertaining dishes, but they were not the big boss that He Yuzhu met in the plot, but the old man Gu that Yang Hehua met when she was fishing before.

When Old Man Gu was having dinner with his comrades, he was surprised to find Yang Hehua. He asked someone to check for the first time they had dinner together. He found out that Yang Hehua was the widow of a soldier under his son's command. She was also quite skilled, whether it was fishing, setting traps, or cooking. More importantly, she kept her mouth shut.

Gradually, the cooking skills of Chef Hehua from the second canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill became known.

In addition, He Yuzhu also returned to the second canteen these two days. However, the canteen director Lin Dahai felt that the second canteen already had three good chefs, so he transferred He Yuzhu to the first canteen.

The canteen complaint box is filled with many letters saying that the food in the canteen is bad. The canteen director Lin Dahai does this to appease some of the workers' grievances.

He Yuzhu nodded silently at this decision.

He really wanted to stay away from the widow Yang Hehua, mainly because Qin Huairu had returned. He was a little panicked, afraid that he would end up like himself in his dream, so he found a matchmaker group in Nancheng and asked them to introduce him to a blind date.

As for the blind date location, it naturally cannot be in a courtyard house.

He had been on so many blind dates in the courtyard before but they all ended in failure. If he hadn’t seen the scene in his dream, he would probably never have known the truth in his life.

A wife, children and a warm bed, this is what He Yuzhu has been looking forward to for a long time.

Ever since Xu Damao's grandson got married and had a child, he came to show off every day. He didn't like it, so he put a sack on his grandson and beat him several times in the alley. Even though Xu Damao knew about it and made a scene in the courtyard, he couldn't catch him with any evidence.

The He Yuzhu today is no longer the same He Yuzhu as before.

People from other canteens also wanted to learn cooking, but the space in the second canteen was so small, and they were not familiar with Yang Hehua. In addition, Yang Hehua had said before that people from the second canteen could learn, but did not say whether people from other canteens could come, so they did not have the nerve to come.

Cui Dake's face sometimes gets bruised and swollen recently. When asked about it, he just stammers and passes it off.

After a while, the people in the second cafeteria realized that Cui Dake must have caused trouble outside and was beaten by someone outside.

The blind date that Cui Dake had mentioned before seemed to have disappeared, and he looked gloomy for most of the day.

Moreover, Cui Dake was not liked by Yang Hehua, so naturally their attitude towards Cui Dake became much more distant.

After all, Cui Dake is just a kitchen helper with little experience, while Renyang Hehua is a chef with good skills, and the kind of chef that people can watch and learn from.

Cui Dake didn’t know how he ended up in this state.

It was obvious that he was doing very well when he was in the machine repair shop.

Since coming to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I have basically had no good luck.

Cui Dake had had a kiss with Lou Bancheng's daughter Lou Xiao'e before, and he was very clear that Lou Xiao'e's mother looked at him with satisfaction at the time. Although Lou Xiao'e did not show anything, she was not very resistant either.

But later he asked someone to bring a message to say that he was not interested.

If you don’t like it, then don’t like it.

Since this news came out, he would be put in a sack and beaten every now and then, and even if he reported it to the police, it was of no avail.

There is no trace of each other or some habits at all.

I don't even know who the other party is.

How to find it?

This is tantamount to falling on deaf ears.

After being beaten many times, Cui Dake learned a lesson: never walk at night.

Originally, it was a particularly happy thing to be entertained in the Second Canteen, but for Cui Dake, it was a particularly torturous thing.

I don’t know why, but Chef Hehua, who is a great cook in the second canteen, usually smiles to everyone. But as soon as Cui Dake gets close to him, his face immediately becomes long.

At first, Cui Dake thought that the other party might be in a bad mood, but as time went on, he realized that the other party just disliked him.

If he doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it. Cui Dake came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to work and to learn cooking skills.

I have learned some things during this period, but they are just the basics. After all, we are all learning together, and it is not individual teaching.

Cui Dake wanted to steal the skills, but it was not so easy to do so.

And he was always present at every reception, but when it got late and he walked at night he would be put in a sack, no matter which road he took.

So Cui Da has both a love-hate relationship with the Second Canteen's reception.

However, Cui Dake recently got in touch with a boss in the black market. He asked him to find out who was targeting him. The price was naturally a pig.

Squeezing in the crowd, I watched Yang Hehua constantly flipping the pan. As the rich aroma spread, a dish of stir-fried kidney came out of the pan.

“Stir-fried kidney is here~”

The apprentice was very tactful and took the dishes away, still shouting.

Aunt Wang quickly took the iron pot and spatula and kept scrubbing them, while Yang Hehua took the time to wipe the sweat off her face with a towel. The apprentice next to her also handed Yang Hehua a cup of hot water.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yang Hehua started working again.

Cui Dake was watching from the side, not knowing what to do. The main reason was that everyone was scrambling to do these jobs, and he, who was not popular, had no chance of getting a turn.

My heart is full of thorns, but what can I do?

After all, this second canteen is not the kitchen of the machine repair factory canteen where Cui Dake can do whatever he wants, and his connections here are not comparable to those of other people.

He didn't even try to flatter Director Li, who usually entertained the most guests.

Cui Dake couldn't figure out why Xu Damao's grandson didn't like him. He himself was a flatterer. Could it be that he was afraid that he would ignore Director Li after he got in touch with him?

It's really speechless.

Can't we win together?

Looking at the lively scene not far away, Cui Dake felt for the first time that he did not fit in here. Thinking of this, he left the second cafeteria without saying a word.

Anyway, one more or one less won't make much difference.

Cui Dake left, and no one noticed when he left.

After finishing her work, Yang Hehua didn't wait for the kitchen to be cleaned. She took off her apron, washed her face, said a few words, and left.

I looked at the time and found that it was already half past seven. It was already dark at this time. The north wind was blowing and there was some snow flakes falling from the sky.

Fortunately, I wore enough clothes, otherwise I would have been frozen to death.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard and Yang Hehua sat down by the stove, Xiao Qian brought her the hot meal.

Since Xiao Qian received her royalties, she smiles more often.

"Sister-in-law, let's eat!"

"Hey, here I come!" Yang Hehua rubbed the back of her hands that had just been frozen stiff, and reached into the back of Xiaobao's neck, causing him to scream, before she took her hand out.

Looking at Xiuxiu and Manman's eager eyes, she stretched out her still cold hands and reached into the back of their necks, scaring them so much that they shrank back and ran away. Then she breathed out a breath of hot air, kissed Xiaobao's face, and then came to the eight-immortals table.

Looking at the bowl of white rice, a bowl of pickled cabbage and potato soup, and a plate of stir-fried pork with sour peppers on the eight-immortals table, Yang Hehua couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and asked, "Qianqian, are you eating the same as me tonight?"

"The peppers are a bit spicy, so I made an egg custard and some stir-fried cabbage and meat for the three children. Xiuxiu and Manman ate most of a bowl of rice with the sauerkraut soup, while Xiaobao was full with the egg custard and stir-fried cabbage and meat." Xiao Qian, who had just served the meal to Yang Hehua, was now turning over the stove-roasted sweet potato noodles for the three children.

After spending some time together, Xiao Qian also knew what her sister-in-law Yang Hehua's taste was like.

She likes spicy food, but for the sake of her children, she doesn't cook much of it. She also likes rice, so if these two things are available, she can eat a lot.

The new rice has been on the market for a long time. Although Xiao Qian has never bought any, she has heard the ladies in the yard say when they were chatting that the new rice is now 1 cents per pound, which is 5 cent more expensive than the previous rice.

The staple food of the people in Sijiucheng is mostly pasta. The most commonly bought items are flour or cornmeal. The ration of fine grains such as rice/white flour is only about 1-2 jin per household.

However, since the new rice came on the market, my sister-in-law Yang Hehua would bring back more than ten kilograms of rice in a cloth bag from time to time.

Xiao Qian never asked. After all, she knew that her sister-in-law Yang Hehua should have her own channel, and she would occasionally remind her to pay more attention to safety.

Yang Hehua listened and nodded: "Qianqian, luckily I have you. You know my taste and you can also take the children's taste into consideration. It's just hard work for you!"

"Sister-in-law, it's not that hard. I need to eat too." Xiao Qian said with a smile: "Besides, I have to make good use of the skills you taught me."

"I've been here for so long, sister-in-law, you've never let me go hungry. Not only have I grown taller, but I've also become much stronger."

Xiao Qian was not lying. The food at home was good. She had eggs every other day and meat twice a week. The food was oily and good, too. With this diet, she had gained weight recently and her face had become rounder.

She discovered her strength when she was washing clothes. For example, she was able to wring out a lot of water from the winter clothes that she had been unable to wring out in previous years, but this year she was able to wring out a lot of water easily.

Yang Hehua, who was a smart person, was eating nearby and just smiled without saying a word as she listened.

Thanks to the system plug-in, it suppressed the release time of the power pill, so that Xiao Sheng, Xiao Qian and the three children who took the power pill needed some time to notice that their strength was gradually increasing.

Otherwise, if it suddenly becomes bigger, it will be somewhat noticeable.
