Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"How can you make up the story about Uncle Sanye like this?"

Qin Jingru counted on her fingers: "If each person is charged 10 cents, one courtyard can collect more than 20 yuan, and ten courtyards can collect 200 yuan..."

Before she finished counting, Lou Xiao'e took over.

"Ugh, what are you doing! It's New Year's Day, you can't rub my face."

"Little Jingru is so cute." Lou Xiao'e rubbed her with a smile, ignoring the queen's grin.

Cao Wei touched her skull helplessly and said, "It would take a long time to make a piece of cloth big enough to cover the courtyard."

"Yes." Qin Jingru thought for a moment, "Then let's make them, put them away after use, and then set them off whenever there are fireworks."

Lou Xiaoe, Cao Wei: …

No, your little head is full of money, right?

The fireworks stopped and Cao Wei put down his dishonest hand.

Because, in the dark alley, the third uncle's gaze returned again.

"Oh, what a coincidence? Are you coming back together?" The third uncle saw the three people and greeted them cheerfully.

"Uncle, did you have a good harvest today?" Lou Xiao'e spoke first.

"Hey, it's all the neighbors who are showing their support. To be honest, it's Shazhu who has done a good thing." The third uncle ate a melon seed proudly, and gave one to each of them...

Cao Wei looked at the melon seed in his hand, speechless.

Okay, one is considered a favor.

"Don't complain that it's too little. There are so many people in my family, and we've divided it all up long ago. This is all that's left."

"Not a small amount. I can show off to you, Third Uncle, by getting something from you."

"Hey, the old man doesn't like what you say."

"Hahahahahaha, I was just kidding. Uncle, you are a very generous person."

After playing with the third uncle for a while, the three of them went back to the backyard. At this time, the people in the yard had already gone back one after another. After the fireworks were over, it was time to go back to the house. Winter in the north is no joke. If you walk outside for a while, you will shiver with cold. Not every household has thick clothes.

After exchanging a few auspicious words with the neighbors who had not yet dispersed, he went to the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, Lou Xiao'e did not go home, but went straight into the house with Cao Wei.

At this moment, the backyard was quite quiet.

Just now, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were shouting and yelling when they saw the fireworks, they were extremely excited, and then they were scolded by the second uncle, and then they became obedient and quiet.

As for the deaf old lady, she had already gone to bed. There were only a few families in this backyard.

No matter how happy we are during the Chinese New Year, I still don’t want to stay outside in the middle of winter.

As soon as Qin Jingru returned to the house, she rubbed her hands, took out a small low table, put it on the kang, and took out the packed leftovers from the net bag, which were still warm. Their leftovers were first packed in aluminum boxes, and then wrapped in a thick quilt. It's a bit extravagant to say more.

The two foodies wanted to have something hot, but Cao Wei was too lazy to start a fire. To be honest, it was not difficult to heat up the kang at home, but he was willing to do it. Liu Sandao also doted on Qin Jingru and Cao Wei, so he helped them get it done.

"It's still steaming? Nine-turn large intestine? What a good thing." Lou Xiao'e looked at the dish that was served. She didn't care whether it was leftover or not. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece, and tasted it carefully.

As for the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, she has also eaten it, and the taste is so good that it must be made by a top chef.

But for some reason, it tastes different in this small house.

"It's delicious! Let me tell you, I ate a lot today." Qin Jingru patted her belly, wanting another piece, and looked at Lou Xiaoe eagerly.

"Don't let her eat. She's already full." Cao Wei rolled his eyes. This wife's ability to eat is just average. Her stomach is so small. She hasn't eaten well for so many years. Her motility is also average. But she just likes to eat. Look, she often eats too much.

"The walking just now is gone, gone!" Qin Jingru emphasized.

"Eat a little, eat a little." Lou Xiao'e fed a small piece with a smile.

Qin Jingru put it in her mouth and narrowed her eyes with joy.

"Oh, by the way." Lou Xiao'e took out a bottle of Fenjiu from the things she brought and placed it on the table.

He raised his eyebrows at Cao Wei and said, "Want some?"

Cao Wei doesn't drink much on weekdays unless he is entertaining guests, but since it's New Year's Day, it wouldn't hurt to drink a little.

"There are peanuts at home. I'll go get some." Qin Jingru was eating meat and doing her business, so she immediately went to look for side dishes.

No one at home drinks, but there are peanuts. She likes to eat some when she has nothing to do. Cao Wei is not stingy. When he goes to buy seasonings, he buys some and stir-fries them at home. The peanuts he makes are not boiled peanuts, but are seasoned with his own unique seasoning. The taste is delicious. But if you eat too much, you will feel very thirsty.

"If we're talking about snacks to go with wine, it has to be peanuts." Lou Xiao'e's face was slightly flushed, and she seemed a little tipsy while speaking.

Don't be fooled by her appearance. If you think she is about to fall down after the next drink, you are being deceived.

She can drink a lot, and the key is that she looks even more charming when she is slightly tipsy.

"What are you looking at?" Lou Xiao'e gave Cao Wei a charming look.

Cao Wei was amused, but he didn't say anything.

Qin Jingru started to be naughty: "How dare you! How dare you talk to him! I'm going to demote you one level, I'm telling you... um... don't don't don't... Sister, hehe."

Traditional cute skills don't have much effect on Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu.

But Qin Jingru seemed to have decided on this path, and she kept acting cute and being rubbed.

Lou Xiao'e rubbed it with a smile.

Qin Huairu said, "I told you to laugh, let's see if you can still laugh." while pulling his ear.

Qin Jingru successfully made herself, the wife, the bottom of the food chain in this family.

But this also has its advantages. Whenever the two women have something good, they will stuff it into Qin Jingru's hands. Qin Huairu is not so bad, after all, she still has a family. Lou Xiaoe has a lot of good things, and she stuffed a lot of them into Qin Jingru's hands.

Every time Qin Jingru was about to get angry, she would think of those good things, and her anger would instantly extinguish and turn into a "hehe".

In Qin Jingru’s own words, don’t look at me as stupid, I’m actually very smart, you just don’t understand!

Let’s chat and laugh here.

The Jia family was much quieter.

Jia Zhang sighed lightly, with a smile on her face: "This year is a good year."

She spoke softly, for fear of waking up the child sleeping in the inner room.

"Well, of course. Next year, I'll see if I can get promoted to another level, so that our family can be prosperous." Qin Huairu stretched lazily, and her tight clothes brought out her plump figure.
