Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"It's just human nature!"

Liu Wuming had seen this kind of situation many times. Looking at Zhou Tian's frightened expression, he couldn't help but comfort him with a smile.

It is the nature of all people to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, to step on the low and praise the high. It has been like this since ancient times. Although it seems very realistic, it is also the way of survival for everyone.

"I know, but I didn't expect that I would be so uncomfortable when it came to me!"

Zhou Tian said as he parked the car, took his master into his home, asked his master to sit down, and quickly poured a cup of tea for his master.

"By the way, Xiaotian, where are Xiaoyuhao and the others?"

Sitting on the chair, Liu Wuming looked around the layout of the room, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then asked.

He loves the three children of the Zhou family very much. He has been missing them a lot after not seeing them for such a long time. But looking at the situation in the house now, could it be that the three children are not here?

"They should be doing their homework upstairs! How about I call them down?"

Zhou Tian said this and was about to turn around and go upstairs. Usually at this time of day, the three little ones would be doing their homework upstairs, and today should be no exception.

"No, children's studies are important, let's not disturb them!"

Liu Wuming immediately stopped Zhou Tian. He knew that Sanxiao's academic performance was very good, and he didn't want to disturb the children's studies because of his arrival.

"Well, Master, it's getting late. You can rest here for a while. I'll go cook!"

Being stopped by his master, he no longer insisted. He looked down at the time and saw that it was already six o'clock. He hurriedly said.

"There's no need to rest. I haven't been here since your house was renovated. I'll take a look around while you do your thing!"

Liu Wuming waved his hand, signaling Zhou Tian to go and do his own thing. He stood up and began to look around the room with interest.

"Well, Master, take your time and I'll go cook!"

After saying that, Zhou Tian walked towards the kitchen.

Coming to the kitchen, Zhou Tian closed the door. With a thought, ten pounds of pork belly appeared out of thin air in his hand. He also took some vegetables and put them aside.

Then he took some wood from the side, lit a fire, heated the pot, rinsed it with water, poured in the water, and then began to add spiritual spring water and knead the dough, and started kneading white flour buns. Ten minutes later, he had kneaded twenty fist-sized white flour buns and stopped.

After putting the steamed buns into the steamer, he began to cook. Since there were many kinds of vegetables today, he planned to cook four main dishes, braised pork was definitely one of them, and for the rest, he planned to make fried meat with celery, fried meat with small Japanese yuan, and fried tomatoes and eggs.

After making the plan, Zhou Tian started to get busy. With a rhythmic sound, he soon cut all the meat and vegetables and started to extract lard.

The whole process was accompanied by a sizzling sound, and the aroma of pork instantly wafted from the kitchen.

"smell good!"

Smelling the fragrance coming from the kitchen, Liu Wuming, who was walking around, no longer had the heart to continue sightseeing and followed the fragrance to the kitchen door.

"Brother, it smells so good, are we going to eat meat today?"

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from upstairs. Liu Wuming looked up and saw Zhou Hao, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting running down from upstairs.

"Uncle Liu, you're here?"

The three children who had just run downstairs showed a hint of surprise in their eyes when they saw Liu Wuming at the kitchen door. They shouted happily and ran towards Liu Wuming. Especially Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting, one of them grabbed Liu Wuming's arm and shook it happily.

"Yes, your Uncle Liu hasn't seen you for a long time. So today, Uncle Liu specially came to see you. How about it? Do you welcome me?"

When the two children grabbed his hands, Liu Wuming's face unconsciously showed a loving smile and he asked softly.

"Of course you're welcome. I miss Uncle Liu so much!"

Zhou Yu spoke first without waiting for others to answer.

"Yes! Uncle Liu, I miss you too!"

Seeing that her brother had answered first, Zhou Ting also hurriedly spoke, and seemed to be afraid that Uncle Liu would not believe her, so she deliberately emphasized her tone.

"Really? Hahahaha, Uncle Liu misses you too!"

When Liu Wuming heard the answers from the two cute kids, the smile on his face suddenly became even brighter.

Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel envious when he saw the two kids and Liu Wuming acting like spoiled brats. However, he was grown up and sensible after all, so he naturally couldn't do such a thing. Compared to acting like spoiled brats to Uncle Liu, he wanted to go into the kitchen and help his eldest brother.

"Uncle Liu, please play with Xiaoyu and Xiaoting first. I'll go see my brother!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Liu Wuming waved his hand, then took Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting's hands and walked outside, saying as he walked: "Come on, Xiaoyu and Xiaoting, let your big brother cook. We'll go outside first, and Uncle Liu will buy you something good!"

"Great, Uncle Liu, I want to eat Mickey Mouse candy!"

After watching Liu Wuming and the two children leave, Zhou Hao pushed open the kitchen door and walked in. He saw his eldest brother refining lard. Smelling the rich aroma, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and walked forward to ask.

"Brother, is there anything I can do?"

"Second brother, you came just in time, just help me get the food over!"

Zhou Tian said without turning his head.

"Ok!"

With Zhou Hao's participation, the cooking speed increased a bit. After a while, the four main dishes were cooked one by one. While cooking, Zhou Tian did not forget to give Zhou Hao advice on cooking skills. He explained to him all the techniques, heat, and seasoning process in the cooking process.

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and kept it in mind.

When the two of them had brought all the food to the table, Liu Wuming walked in from outside with Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting, smiling.

Looking at the Mickey Mouse candies in Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting's hands, Zhou Tian looked at Liu Wuming helplessly and said, "Master, can you please stop spoiling them like this? Every time you come, you take them shopping. If this continues, I'm afraid they will be spoiled by you!"

"What do you know, kid? Xiaoyu and Xiaoting are so sensible, what's wrong with me pampering them? Besides, if you, as the eldest brother, don't buy them, don't you allow me to buy them?"

Liu Wuming's expression of "I do" made Zhou Tian at a loss for words. He could only shake his head speechlessly. After all, he was already used to it.

Ever since Sanxiao became Liu Wuming's disciple, Liu Wuming would come to visit Sanxiao every once in a while. Every time he came, he would take Sanxiao shopping. Zhou Tian had told him many times, but it was no use, so he could only let him do what he wanted.

This was at the Zhou family. If it was at the master's house, it would not only be the master himself, but also the master's wife. Therefore, Zhou Tian rarely took Sanxiao to the master's house since then.

I was even scolded by my master several times because of this.

"Okay, okay, you have the final say, I won't say anything more, the meal is ready, let's all start eating!"

Unable to convince his master, he had to give up and asked his younger brothers and sisters and his master to come to the table to eat.

Seeing that his disciple was silent, Liu Wuming smiled and hugged Zhou Ting in his arms, then led Zhou Yu towards the dining table, saying, "Let's go, let's eat!"

He came to the dining table, put Zhou Ting down from his arms, and waited until the two children were seated before he took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Zhou Tian.

Looking at the steamed buns and four hard dishes on the table, he said with some displeasure: "Xiaotian, are you not going to have sex? Why are you so extravagant? You made so many meat dishes. How can Master eat them all? Don't forget that you still have three younger brothers and sisters to support!"

Listening to the master's reprimand, Zhou Tian felt helpless, but he also knew what the master meant, so he explained: "Master, didn't I get a promotion today? Just celebrate it. And didn't you forget that my current salary is not low, and it is enough to support my brothers and sisters, so you can eat with peace of mind!"

Liu Wuming was stunned by Zhou Tian's words. He then remembered that his apprentice was no longer the same as before. Although the meal in front of him was rather luxurious, with his apprentice's salary now, he could afford it as long as he didn't eat it every meal.

Only then did he put away the displeasure on his face and started to pick up his chopsticks.
