Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

After hearing Zhou Hui's report, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. The tired look on Zhou Hui's face was enough to prove that he was telling the truth and that he had done his best. "You've worked really hard and done a great job. In that case, move the potatoes you can buy into the warehouse and store them. They will be enough for us to use for at least the next two days. Continue to inquire tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see if there are any new supplies entering the city. If not, tell me how much you are short of before you get off work tomorrow evening, and I'll have someone deliver it." He Yuzhu made this decision.

It would be great if Zhou Hui could buy all the necessary materials. He and Ma San have already cooperated to share profits, and the profits are considerable. But cooperating with a large factory still needs to be carefully considered. "Director, I understand. I will try to solve it. If I can't solve it, I will come back to report to you." Zhou Hui promised with a smile. In his eyes, He Yuzhu is easy to get along with, which is very different from when he was under Zhang Baoguo.

"Let's do it. I'm going to get off work." He Yuzhu nodded, walked out of the cafeteria, and rode his bike back home.

As soon as I got back to the courtyard, I ran into Aunt Li who was picking vegetables. "Zhu Zi is back! Yesterday, my wife left us a pot of leftovers with some good meat. I was planning to make a hot pot with it. Why don't you just not cook tonight and come to our house for dinner. We still have a dozen steamed buns left, which can be eaten by both families." Aunt Li invited warmly.

When she mentioned the leftovers Wang Qian left yesterday, she was very happy. There was indeed a lot of meat in it.

He Yuzhu politely declined Aunt Li's enthusiasm and hospitality: "Aunt Li is so kind, but we still have leftovers and steamed buns at home. I will just make some when I get home and it won't cause you any trouble. You go about your business, I'm going home." After saying that, he rode away on his bike.

Walking into the courtyard, he smelled the unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine coming from the Jia family next door. He saw Xiaodang and Xiaohuahua crying with red eyes at the door of the Jia family, and then went straight back to the house.

He Yuzhu first lit the fire and added some coal before preparing dinner. There were quite a lot of leftovers at home, so they could make a big hot pot.

After peeling a few potatoes, he took out two kilograms of cabbage from his personal space, washed it and cut it into sections. Then, while he was stewing soup and preparing rice and steamed buns, he locked the door and entered his private space.

Looking at the lively space, He Yuzhu was satisfied. Before, he was always busy dealing with the reality, and only looked at the space when taking a bath. The fish in the pond are already huge, the heaviest is about 7 or 8 kilograms; the first few breeding pigs weighed nearly 500 pounds, but unfortunately, time is not forgiving, and the ability to produce piglets has declined.

His main task this time was to kill pigs. With a thought, four breeding pigs floated above the pig pen. After a moment of processing, the pigs were stored in the warehouse.

But he was not sure whether the pork was edible. He remembered that the eight-year-old sow he raised at home had passed away, and he did not eat all the pork himself, but sold it directly at the market at a low price. The meat he ate later was purchased by his mother.

The situation is different now. In an era of scarce resources, it is difficult for him to determine whether anyone would be willing to accept this meat. "Forget it, I'll ask them when the time comes. Let's talk about it directly. If they are willing to buy it, I'll sell it; if not, I'll just turn it into powder in space and throw it into the pond for the fish to enjoy." He Yuzhu sighed deeply. In his eyes, this was not an overly complicated multiple-choice question.

After finishing the cooking, he walked out of his personal space. After confirming that the rice and steamed buns were steamed, he started to cook the hot pot. Soon, the fragrance filled the air. He Yuzhu took a deep sniff and smiled with satisfaction.

"Honey, I'm back." Wang Qian shouted to He Yuzhu with a smile after entering the room.

He Yuzhu walked up to her and gave her a hug. After putting away her bicycle, he said, "You're back just in time. The meal is ready. Go wash your hands and you can eat."

"Okay, I'm hungry." Wang Qian smiled happily, then washed her hands and sat down to eat together.

As soon as I picked up my chopsticks, my neighbor Liu Guangtian knocked on the door and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuzi, sister-in-law, Dad suggested that we have a small meeting in the yard later."

"Come in and eat with us, Guangtian." He Yuzhu walked to the door, opened it, and politely invited him.

"No need, Brother Zhuzi. I'm almost ready at home, you guys take your time eating. In addition, this evening's meeting is mainly to raise donations for Qin Huairu's family. If you don't want to come, just stay inside. After all, everyone knows that your relationship is average, and no one will mind even if you don't donate." Liu Guangtian told He Yuzhu in a pleasant atmosphere, and at the same time cleared his worries.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "It's okay, we will attend the party hosted by Second Grandpa. As for the donation, we will talk about it later."

"Very good, Brother Zhuzi, I'm glad you've figured it out. I won't bother you anymore. I still need to notify other neighbors." Liu Guangtian said, and left with a smile on his face and a polite tone.

After Liu Guangtian left, He Yuzhu saw Wang Qian's confused face and explained the details of Qin Huairu's injury.

"I see. It's been a lot of twists and turns. The only laborer in the family is injured. It will take a hundred days to recover from this broken bone... If she doesn't go to work, the family will be in a really tight spot." Wang Qian said regretfully.

"Wife, everyone's fate is predetermined. There's no need to lament too much. Eat your fill first, and then go see how to deal with the situation." He Yuzhu smiled comfortingly.

"Well, that makes sense. We can discuss the donation later."

In the courtyard.

After the meal, more and more people came to the courtyard. Although they didn't understand the reason for this gathering, they all came to join in the fun. In the courtyard, three uncles sat upright and looked around to confirm that everyone was present. Liu Haizhong felt relaxed. Seeing that Yi Dahai only gave a concise opening speech and did not take away his position as the host of the meeting, he was secretly relieved.

He stood up, looked at the crowd and said, "Dear neighbors, we live in the same compound and interact with each other quite frequently. We have a good relationship. As the old saying goes, neighbors are true neighbors. Who can guarantee that their family will never encounter trouble? So we need to help and care for each other."

Everyone has heard about the plight of the Jia family today. Comrade Qin Huairu was unfortunately injured at the factory today. Although the factory paid for the medical expenses, it will take time to recover from the broken bones.

Aunt Zhang has now been taken away by the police. She is the only labor force in the family. She will definitely not be able to go to work in the factory after being injured, so her family’s source of income has been cut off.

Therefore, in order to help their family get through this difficult time, I specially invited the Third Uncle to hold this meeting, hoping that everyone can generously help them by donating money or materials to support them. "

"Second uncle is right, 'A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor'. When we are in trouble, it is right to help each other." Third uncle agreed with a smile.

Seeing the three elders set the tone, everyone else was silently calculating how much money they could contribute. The atmosphere on the scene was quite intriguing.

The three elderly men looked around and found that no one had any objections. Then they nodded and looked at each other and prepared to initiate the donation.

However, at this time, Xu Damao stood up and said: "I have no objection to donating, but before that, I have a few questions to ask the three grandfathers."

Hearing this, the three elders frowned at the same time, and then Liu Haizhong asked dissatisfiedly: "Can't you just say what you want to say? Let's talk about it after everyone has donated."

"Yes, Damao, the Jia family is in such a miserable situation. Donating money can help them and make them feel better." The third uncle also agreed.

Yi Zhonghai did not express his opinion, but just cast a sharp look at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao didn't take the dissatisfaction of the three elders to heart. He had already gone to the police station to inquire again, and the result was that they were asked to wait for further notice.

"I understand the importance of donations. I, Xu Damao, am not unprincipled in my work, but I have a question. Three days ago, my house was robbed. My gold jewelry was stolen, and the money has not been recovered. I asked the police, but they did not give me a satisfactory answer.

As the elders in the hospital, you are respected, so regarding this matter, do you three have any plans to help me deal with it? If the problem is solved and the property is recovered, I will support the donation without hesitation, even if it is only 50 yuan to show my kindness.

But now, I am penniless, and to donate money to the Jia family who once robbed my house, to be honest, it is really difficult for me to do it. "

After saying this, Xu Damao's face was full of indignation.

The meaning of his words was very direct: the Jia family not only took away my family’s property, but also did not return it. They must have money, so why did they ask me to donate?

He was also indirectly accusing the three elders: This is unfair. My problem hasn't been solved yet, but you're asking for donations. Isn't that ridiculous?

Seeing that Xu Damao had gone off topic, Liu Haizhong was furious: "The police will handle this matter. If you have nothing else to do and don't plan to donate, you can go back. We are discussing helping the Jia family, don't butt in."

If he really messes up the situation, how can the second uncle maintain his prestige? He is such a troublemaker.

“Things are not that simple. Although the loss of my belongings has no direct connection with you three, from another perspective, this reflects that your ability to prevent it is not enough.

There was a thief named Aunt Zhang in the courtyard. She first stole my things and then the things of Sha Zhu’s family. Fortunately, He Yuzhu called the police, otherwise all the things might have been taken away by the Jia family," he added.

Oh, you guys usually don't care about anything, which has caused the community to be in a mess. Now this time, someone good wants to take credit, and the three old men actually stepped forward and mobilized everyone to raise funds for the Jia family.

I now even suspect that Aunt Zhang, that old hag, might be collaborating with you secretly?

Otherwise, there are so many poor families who have not been helped by you, but the Jia family is in trouble, and you are so active in lending a hand, it's really strange. "This sentence was very sharp, and immediately everyone's eyes turned to the three masters, with obvious doubts, and began to discuss in a low voice.

On the other side, Xu Damao had a smug smile on his face, and he was obviously very happy to see this scene. Yi Zhonghai could no longer sit still when he saw this scene. He knew that Liu Lao Da and the three masters alone could not control the situation, so he stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, you should know me, right? Who in the courtyard has been in trouble over the years and I have not helped?
