Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

He Lin glanced at Sha Zhu who was expecting something, and felt a little strange:

"You're a canteen chef, and you're hungry, so you come to me to borrow some meat? Don't you realize how old you are? You're going backwards as you get older, aren't you ashamed?"

Sha Zhu's face turned blue and red after hearing what He Lin said. In order to complete the task assigned by his sister Qin, he could only swallow his anger.

"Well, brother, please just pity me. If you help me with this, I will definitely remember your favor."

"Your favor is useless to me."

However, when He Lin saw Sha Zhu's aggrieved look, he knew that there was something going on. It was probably to solicit sponsorship for the Jia family.

Thinking of this, He Lin came up with a plan. Since he had nothing to do, it would be nice to tease these beasts.

"Well, if we were to break up, I would definitely not send you anything. But since we are all colleagues at the steel mill, I will give you a chance. It depends on whether you agree or not."

"Okay, thank you, Chief He. I don't need more, just one bowl is enough. You can tell me what to do."

Seeing that Sha Zhu had fallen into the trap, He Lin leisurely stated the conditions.

"I won't talk about how scarce supplies are now. I saved up meat coupons for a long time to get this little bit of meat. I spent a lot of money and coupons, plus the cost of coal, ingredients, and my cooking skills. It would cost less than 5 yuan per pound. If you want to eat, bring 1 yuan here, and I'll be a good person and give you 5 pound of meat."

Gah, Shazhu is confused. I came here to borrow meat, why do I have to spend money?

"Brother, how about you lend it to me first, and I'll return you 1 kilogram later?"

"I'll say it again, don't try to make connections. I'm helping my neighbors with the cost price, not speculating. And I can only spare one pound. If you want it, take the money quickly. If not, I'll close down."

"Yes, can't I?"

Sha Zhu looked like his father had died, with a sad face. He took out 5 yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to He Lin. It seemed that he would have to eat dirt for the New Year's Eve dinner this year.

"Oh, if you ask me, you are still very generous. I will personally grill meat for you today, so that you can open your eyes and experience what delicious food is. Don't just stay in the cafeteria every day and eat and wait for death without any effort."

Sha Zhu was so angry. I can't compare to you, He Lin, in other aspects, but you are using your cooking skills to challenge me. Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?

He Lin took out a pound of mutton and asked Sha Zhu to take a look.

"Look here, silly Zhu, one jin is one jin, don't accuse me of cheating you."

Dealing with food ingredients every day, Sha Zhu knew at a glance that this piece of meat was enough for one kilogram.

"Okay, hurry up and do it. I want to see what kind of skills you have."

What skills are required in barbecue? It's nothing more than the heat, seasoning, and the quality of the meat itself.

The special seasoning specially prepared by He Lin, coupled with the mutton produced in the space, must be first-class meat, and it will be delicious no matter who roasts it.

He Yushui knew that his brother definitely had no good intentions towards Sha Zhu, so he happily brought a small bowl to Sha Zhu and waited to see what would happen next.

"Yushui, your bowl is too small. Can you give me a bigger one?"

"We only have this size bowl at home, use it if you like."

Sha Zhu felt humiliated and didn't ask for anything more. He picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the seasoning and took a bite.

In one word: "tender". You have lived half of your life in vain.

He had never eaten such delicious mutton. He felt so satisfied. Sha Zhu also had a little respect for He Lin's cooking skills.

After taking a few more bites, Sha Zhu finally remembered his purpose.

"Hey, Chief He, it really tastes delicious. As expected, even the factory director praises your cooking skills. I'll go back and get a big bowl to take the meat back to eat."

"How can that be possible? This barbecue should be eaten while it's hot on the griddle. If you let it get cold, it won't taste good. That's damaging my brand. Don't leave. You paid for the meat and you're going to eat it right here."

Shazhu shuddered and thought to himself that he did want to eat, but the problem was what should he do when he got home after eating?

His sister Qin is still looking forward to it.

Unable to think of a better solution, Sha Zhu could only tell the truth.

"I'm here to borrow the meat on behalf of Sister Qin. If I eat it all, I won't be able to give it to her. Just let me take it away."

He Lin knew very well what Sha Zhu was thinking, but he had to perform the role as usual.

"You silly Zhu, you know that I don't get along with the Jia family, but you still come to deceive me. I gave you meat because we are both co-workers, but I didn't expect that you, a big liar, would deceive me? Here is your 5 yuan, you have to spit out what you just ate. If you can't spit it out, I will help you."

As he said that, He Lin threw 5 yuan to Sha Zhu and clenched his fists, making a stuttering sound.

"No, no, calm down, Chief He, you still have a bright future ahead of you, how can you use violence?"

"I don't want to use violence, but someone wants to cheat me, can't I take action against the cheater?"

"How can I? I was just joking. If you don't want to lend it to Sister Qin, then forget it. How about I eat the rest of the meat?"

Sha Zhu was scared by being beaten by He Lin repeatedly. Seeing He Lin was about to attack him, he immediately changed his attitude, picked up the money on the ground and gave it back to He Lin.

"Then you'd better do as you said and eat quickly, so as not to waste my time."

The rest was easy. He Yuzhu had the most delicious, yet most helpless, barbecue he had ever had in his life.

Who among my family members understands the feeling of both pain and happiness?

A pound of barbecue is not too much, but not too little either. Sha Zhu is still eating, but Qin Huairu can't sit still anymore.

How could it take so long? I didn’t hear any sound of Shazhu being beaten?

Xiliji didn't hold out much hope that Shazhu could borrow some meat.

It would be best if Shazhu got beaten up, so that she could ask for some compensation and then go buy meat, right?

This is a roundabout way to save the country.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu did not wait for Sha Zhu to be beaten, but waited for Sha Zhu to be full.

Look at the greasy look on Shazhu's lips and that satisfied expression.

"Zhu Zi, did you borrow the meat? Where did you put it?"

"Ah, Sister Qin, He Lin did borrow a pound of meat and made it into barbecue, but, but..."

"Just what? Tell me quickly. Do you want to drive your sister Qin crazy?"

"He Lin doesn't want to have anything to do with your family, so he has to let me finish eating on the spot before he can come back."

"Ah, so you made a pound of barbecue by yourself? Can you bear to let Banggeng starve at home?"

"Then I have no choice. He Lin won't agree, and I can't force him to take it away. Even if I tried to, I wouldn't be able to win."

What Qin Huairu was thinking was, if you can’t win the fight, won’t you get beaten up?

When the time comes, I will naturally seek justice and compensation for you.

But I can't say this out loud, so I'd better just comfort Sha Zhu.
