Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 32 Eating hot pot

At the entrance of Beijing Hotel, He Daqing and Sha Zhu waited for Hu Sihai who came out last.

Hu Sihai was also very happy today, as his fellow apprentice and disciple had made him proud. Everyone praised him for training a good disciple.

Hu Sihai said to He Daqing, "Daqing, Zhuzi, you two surprised me today. I didn't expect your cooking skills to have improved so much in the past few years."

He Daqing pushed the cart and said with a smile: "You can study it yourself when you have free time. Besides, I went out and saw some dishes that are different from ours. So I can make some progress. But you are still far behind my senior brother."

Hu Sihai shook his head and said, "You are no worse than me now. Just now, Master Luo asked me to ask you if you are willing to work in the canteen of the government agency. A friend of his has found a good chef there."

Considering that when the wind blows later, all the government agencies will be in a mess, He Daqing said, "Brother, let's wait a little longer. I'm getting married in a few days, let's talk about it after I get married."

Hu Sihai stopped walking immediately after hearing this, looked at He Daqing in surprise and said, "Why are you getting married again?"

He Daqing said with a smile: "Isn't it that we have found a suitable person? And she is willing, so we plan to get married and live together."

Hu Sihai looked at this, and he really didn't know what to say to his junior brother: "You said the same, the pillars and rain are so big. Why are you still doing this? Train the pillars well, and you will just enjoy the good life in the future."

When he mentioned enjoying Sha Zhu's blessing, He Daqing thought of what happened in the morning. He pushed the cart in front of Sha Zhu and scolded him, "You are so old, don't you have eyes? Do you still want your father, who is so old, to carry you around?"

Sha Zhu was scolded for no apparent reason. Wasn't he smiling happily just now? Why did he suddenly turn hostile? You change your face faster than Sichuan people.

But he didn't dare to refute, so he could only take the bicycle and push it silently.

Since we can’t resist, we must learn to enjoy it. This is the experience summed up by a great female comrade.

Hu Sihai looked at the lively father and son and felt envious. His son now lived near the school and he and his son were not that close anymore.

He Daqing said to Hu Sihai, "Brother, I plan to get married the day after tomorrow. I won't hold a big wedding ceremony under the current circumstances. I'll ask Zhuzi to prepare a table of dishes, which will be both a graduation banquet and our wedding banquet. Let's make it more sumptuous, what do you think?"

Hu Sihai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's leave it at your house. The situation is special now, so let's not be too particular. Just keep it simple. I'll take your sister-in-law and a few apprentices with me when the time comes."

He Daqing counted the four people in his family, plus the people of his senior brothers. From the courtyard, he could just call Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong. He had to have a few friends in the courtyard, so as not to isolate himself.

This way two tables, one for men and one for women will be enough.

So he said, "Okay, tomorrow is the weekend. Come to my house on Tuesday night. I'll let Zhuzi take a day off and cook a good meal."

After discussing the matter, the three of them rode back on their bikes.

After parting ways with Hu Sihai at Emei Hotel, He Daqing originally wanted to go to Chen Xueru's place. But seeing that it was almost dark, he went home with Sha Zhu.

Because Sha Zhu was warned by his father not to talk about the assessment, no one in the yard knew about it.

So after entering the gate, Yan Bugui saw them and said with a smile: "Daqing, what did you and Zhuzi do today? Why did you come back just now?"

He Daqing knew that Yan Bugui was the biggest gossip lover in the compound. He wanted to know everything.

"Nothing, I just went to visit Zhuzi's master."

Yan Bugui still didn't give up.

"Hey, Shazhu hasn't had any contact with his master for a long time, right? You're amazing. You got in touch with him as soon as you came back."

"Yes, Zhuzi is just stupid. No one in the courtyard reminded him when he was fooled. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been out of touch with his master for so long."

Yan Bugui didn't know how to respond to this.

At that time, Sha Zhu listened to Yi Zhonghai in everything. Anyone who reminded him after eating would offend Yi Zhonghai.

Yan Bugui laughed awkwardly.

"It's okay. Wasn't Shazhu still a kid at that time? Now that you've grown up, you know it yourself. You guys should go back quickly. I'll go see if my wife has prepared the meal."

Seeing Yan Bugui slip away, He Daqing curled his lips. What the hell is this?

When he got home, Yu Shui was doing his homework. He Daqing was very happy to see Yu Shui studying hard.

My little cotton-padded jacket is still the best. I should make more delicious food for her to replenish her body that has been lacking in nutrition over the years.

He Daqing sent Shazhu to cook, and accompanied Yushui to do homework. He used the knowledge of future universities to tutor current junior high school students. It was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Yushui had never thought that her father knew so much. She quickly asked him questions that she didn't know how to answer. The father and daughter lay on the dining table and began to study enthusiastically.

Sha Zhu saw it in the kitchen and thought disdainfully: "Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? I didn't even graduate from junior high school and I couldn't understand it. How can a cook like you who didn't even go to elementary school understand anything?"

Soon, Sha Zhu prepared the meal.

He Daqing touched his hair which was still dry and yellow from the rain and said, "Let's clean up and eat first. After we finish eating, Dad will teach you."

He Yushui also said happily: "Okay, Dad, I didn't expect you to be so good. You can explain it more clearly than our teacher."

Facing the little girl's admiration, He Daqing showed an old father's look and said, "That's right, don't you see who your father is? Is your teacher as handsome and elegant as your father?"

Just when he was feeling proud, Sha Zhu muttered quietly while holding the dishes: "After all, he is a teacher, and others call him old gentleman when they see him. Who would call you old gentleman when they see you?"

Although Sha Zhu thought his voice was very small, He Daqing's body had been transformed by the crystal core and jade. With his current hearing, even if Qin Huairu farted at home, he would be able to hear the sound as long as he was willing to listen carefully. Not to mention that Sha Zhu was right next to him.

As soon as Sha Zhu put the dishes on the table, He Daqing kicked him on the butt. "You're taking so long to cook. What if Yu Shui gets hungry? Hurry up!"

After saying that, he kicked again!

Sha Zhu felt so wronged. If he had a dog at home now, he would probably be ranked behind the dog.

He rubbed his butt and quickly ran to the kitchen.

The meal was finished in a lively atmosphere with Sha Zhu looking frustrated. He Daqing tutored Yu Shui for a while. Tomorrow is the weekend. They are going to Chen Xueru's place. So everyone went to bed early.

The next day, after breakfast, He Daqing rode his bicycle with Yu Shui in front of him and Sha Zhu sat behind him with his legs spread out.

Soon we arrived at the silk shop. Although it was the weekend, there was no one there.

Chen Xueru was also waiting for He Daqing and the others to come over boredly.

Seeing He Daqing coming on his bicycle, Chen Xueru ran out from behind the counter. She grabbed Yu Shui and said, "Yu Shui, have you eaten yet?"

He Yushui looked at this gentle mother and enjoyed her care.

She hugged Chen Xueru's arm and said, "I've eaten it, Mom! Your shop is so big? There are so many beautiful fabrics in it!"

Chen Xueru pulled him in and said, "These are all from our family. Whichever piece of cloth you like, I'll make clothes for you."

Sha Zhu followed He Daqing in. Seeing so many new cloths, he was also jealous.

He could imagine himself wearing brand new clothes to go on a blind date. The woman saw how handsome he was and threw herself into his arms with enthusiasm. But before he could hug the woman, He Daqing kicked her away.

Looking back, He Daqing was glaring at him as he retracted his foot.

"Your mother asked you to choose cloth to make clothes, what are you doing here like an idiot? Go and have a look!"

Chen Xueru came over and pulled Sha Zhu away, then said to He Daqing, "Can't you just talk to Zhu Zi nicely? Look how scared you made him."

Someone said to Shazhu: "Ignore your father, let's go pick a color you like and mom will make you new clothes."

Shazhu now also feels the love of a mother.

Father’s love is like a mountain, it will collapse.

Mother’s love is like water, making people want to throw themselves into her arms!

He Daqing sat at the counter, watching the three women picking and choosing. He felt that women were still troublesome. As long as the clothes were wearable, why was there so much fuss?

It was already noon by the time they had chosen the fabrics. Chen Xueru then measured the sizes of Yu Shui and Sha Zhu and decided on the designs.

It was almost noon when I finished all the work.

Chen Xueru and Yu Shui were making clothes over there, while He Daqing took Sha Zhu to the kitchen in the back.

I looked in the kitchen and saw just some vegetables and stuff.

He Daqing asked Sha Zhu to wash the vegetables, and he pushed his bicycle out.

I went to the market and took a look around, then went to a Chinese medicine store to buy some spices.

When he returned to the door, He Daqing took out a smaller deer from the space.

As soon as he entered the door, he called out "Shazhu".

Sha Zhu ran out and saw such a big deer, which must have weighed nearly 200 kilograms.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, where did you get such a big deer?"

He Daqing turned around and closed the gate, cursing, "You idiot, why are you yelling? Are you afraid that others won't know?"

"I bought this from a hunter from the countryside I met just now. Go get a knife and clean this out. We're having venison hotpot for lunch today."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu quickly ran back to the kitchen to get a knife and started to gut and skin the animal.

He Daqing went in to stir-fry the hot pot base.

By noon, a table of delicious venison hotpot was ready.

Plates of thinly sliced ​​venison, and lots of green vegetables, paired with the bright red hot pot base, make people hungry just by looking at it.

He Daqing took the wine pot and poured a cup for himself, Chen Xueru and Sha Zhu. Yu Shui brought tea.

He raised his glass and said, "Let's drink our first glass to celebrate the fact that Zhuzi and I both passed the test and got our certificates yesterday. Come on, drink!"

After drinking, everyone started eating.

Deer meat is very nutritious and is a good tonic for those with weak constitutions.

He Daqing kept picking up some meat for Yu Shui and Chen Xueru, asking them to eat more.

There were still more than 100 kilograms of meat left, which he planned to take back and feed them regularly in the future.
