Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

As soon as it was light, Sha Zhu got up to cook two simple dishes and a soup. He didn't even wait for Yu Shui and Ye Fei to eat. He just took a bite, left the food in the pot, and left.

Ever since he confirmed his feelings for Zhao Ying, Sha Zhu couldn't wait to go to work every day. He even changed his old procrastination habits and went to work as early as possible.

Whenever he thought about seeing Zhao Ying earlier, he felt extremely happy and excited.

"Good morning, everyone."

I don’t know how many times Sha Zhu has come so early. Everyone went from being surprised at first to getting used to it and greeting him cooperatively.

The fat man pulled Ma Hua aside and whispered:

"Ma Hua, do you think our master is in love?"

"???"

Seeing Ma Hua's bewildered expression, the fat man was speechless, and said more deeply:

"Haven't you noticed that our master has been coming earlier and earlier lately?"

"I see. I guess Master has become more diligent."

Ma Hua nodded and replied very sincerely.

"Then have you noticed where Master has been looking recently?"

"look?"

Ma Hua scratched his head, thought hard, and said seriously again:

“Master has been focusing on researching new dishes recently.

Fatty, you see, Master is already very capable now, but he is still studying hard. This spirit of never-ending learning is worth learning from!"

Fatty...

"Forget it. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

The fat man turned around and left in a cool manner.

Ma Hua is just a fool. He didn't even notice such an obvious thing. He should just go find someone else to gossip.

"Liu Lan, have you noticed any changes in my master recently?!"

The fat man came straight in front of Liu Lan. From his past experience, Liu Lan was a man who dared to speak and act. He didn't believe that Liu Lan couldn't see such an obvious thing.

"You want to say that Shazhu likes someone else!"

When the fat man heard Liu Lan's words, he knew he had found the right person, and he quickly continued to gossip:

"So you discovered it, too?"

“Isn’t that nonsense!?

Just look at your master's eyes, he wants to stick to me, even a fool can see that!"

"Uh, that idiot Ma Hua didn't seem to see it."

The fat man mumbled and continued gossiping:

"My master is in love, but I don't know what he is thinking. I am most afraid that your love will flow away."

"For them, it's just a matter of time."

Liu Lan glanced at Zhao Ying who was working quietly not far away and spoke:

"If you have that time, you might as well worry more about yourself."

Fatty...

There are pros and cons to chatting with Liu Lan. The pro is that no matter how new the thing you want to know is, you can always hear some gossip from her. The con is that Liu Lan's mouth is too unpleasant.

I know where it hurts, so I will prick you there specifically, and it will make you feel cool.

"Fatty, what are you and Liu Lan whispering about? Aren't you going to cook today?!"

"Master, I'm coming."

After hearing this, the fat man immediately took his short legs and went to work.

Sha Zhu acted as if nothing had happened, put his hands behind his back, leaned against the fat man and said quietly:

"Fatty, although you are my apprentice, let me be frank with you. There are some people you cannot afford to offend."

"what?

Master, what did you say?

“Don’t think I didn’t notice that you’ve been talking to Liu Lan more often recently.

I'm telling you, you can't have any bad thoughts about me!"

"Master, what are you talking about?!"

When Fatty heard this, he immediately realized that Sha Zhu had misunderstood, and quickly explained:

"Everyone in our kitchen knows that Liu Lan is Director Li's person. You can't say what you just said. If Director Li makes things difficult for me one day, I'll be finished."

"Just understand it yourself."

Seeing that the fat man understood everything, Sha Zhu felt relieved. He usually wouldn't meddle in other people's business unless he really couldn't stand it anymore.

But the fat man was his apprentice, and for the sake of his own reputation, he had to give him a reminder.

On second thought, if the fat guy has already had such awareness, then what is he whispering to Liu Lan every day?

"Fatty, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no."

Suddenly getting nervous?

There must be something hidden from him. Sha Zhu's face darkened instantly, and he said with a fierce face:

"Fatty, don't think I don't know what you are talking about. Do you think I won't know if you hide it from me?!"

"Hey, Master, when are you going to confess your feelings?"

Fatty is not afraid of Sha Zhu at all about this kind of thing. Except for cooking skills, where Sha Zhu has strict requirements, they can still talk and chat about other things.

"what?

Why are you speaking so quietly?!

Can't you speak louder?!"

Sha Zhu didn't quite hear what the fat man said, so he asked more questions.

Unexpectedly, the fat man immediately stood up straight, his breath sinking into his dantian, and roared out those words from his stomach:

"I say, Master, when are you going to confess your feelings to Zhao Ying?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire kitchen fell silent. Everyone looked at Sha Zhu, and even Zhao Ying herself stopped what she was doing.

I never expected the fat man to ask such a question, and subconsciously I wanted to cover his mouth, but it was too late.

He looked at everyone looking at him with gossipy faces, then looked at Zhao Ying without even looking up.

Sha Zhu suddenly had a feeling that everyone already knew that he liked Zhao Ying.

"Well, Master, look at the look in Comrade Zhao Ying's eyes. She is so angry that she almost wants to tear silk. But none of us are blind.

I just don't understand, Master, you are always decisive and do what you say, but when it comes to love, you are so fussy, it makes me anxious!"

The fat man's voice rang in his ears, and Sha Zhu was shocked to realize that he had asked the question without realizing it.

"That's right, Team Leader. If you like a girl, just go and confess your feelings. You're taking too long."

"I was watching from the sidelines and was worried about you. If I had your conditions, I would have expressed my feelings long ago."

Sha Zhu looked at everyone and suddenly realized that these people really knew it.

"Silly Zhu, as a man, you should be brave. You can't let a girl speak first, right?!"

Liu Lan teased at the side, and Sha Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard it. He looked at Liu Lan intently, and when Liu Lan nodded, he happily looked at Zhao Ying, who had been keeping her head down and not saying anything.

It turned out that he was not the only one who had a one-sided love for him, Zhao Ying also liked him.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu didn't have so many concerns. He walked straight to Zhao Ying and asked:

"Comrade Zhao Ying, can you date me?"

"Silly Zhu, how can you express your feelings like this? You just ask the girl directly. If she is shy, she will be scared away by you, right?

You don't even make your feelings clear, which girl would agree? ! "

Liu Lan couldn't bear to watch it anymore and made a suggestion. When Sha Zhu heard it, he quickly added:

"Comrade Zhao Ying, I like you, I want to date you, and I want to marry you..."
