Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

In fact, the relationships within the compound are much closer than those among neighbors.

For example, when Sha Zhu was buying mutton, he saw that Yi Yi was too busy to go home, Yan Jiecheng seemed to be out for something, and it happened to be "Xiaoxue", so he thought that everyone should have a good meal together, which would only cost a few dollars. Now Sha Zhu is not that short of money. He is a warm-hearted person, which is recognized by the whole hospital. Of course, he is also recognized for his bad temper.

However, he has restrained himself a lot in recent years.

A light snow.

The whole courtyard became lively.

The uncles gathered together, and the aunts gathered together.

Sha Zhu and his two children were helping in the kitchen.

Also helping in the kitchen were Huaihua, Qi Su and Lou Xiaoe.

"Lou Xiao'e, where do you live now?" Qi Su started talking to Lou Xiao'e. They knew each other before and had some relationship. They started chatting while helping with the work.

"Xu Damao's room."

"Xu Damao? He's willing to let you live here? Oh, I see, he wants to marry you again!" Sha Zhu interjected.

"Go." Lou Xiao'e waved her hand in disdain. Who wants him? "He sold the house to Cao Wei. Cao Wei lent it to me to live in for a while."

"Hey, that's right." Sha Zhu nodded while helping Cao Wei: "Xu Damao is a bad guy. If you follow him, nothing good will happen. If you follow Lao Cao, it's fine. Lao Cao is a good person."

"Boss, if you can't talk, just keep quiet!"

"Hey, okay, okay, I won't say anything. Tsk, Lao Cao, how did you practice your knife skills? Why can't I learn from you..."

Well, you said you wouldn’t talk before, but now you’re talking again.

Qi Su said to Lou Xiao'e: "You have no place to live here?"

"Not really. There's no human touch where I live. After so many years, it's still more comfortable to chat with old neighbors."

"That's true. If we go to another place, there's nothing to say."

"How wonderful! The next generation has grown up." Lou Xiao'e said with emotion.

"If we talk about growing up, it's all thanks to Master Cao's hard work. He was admitted to university at a young age. At that time, reporters from newspapers came to interview him."

"Really?"

"That's not the case, I tell you..."

Once this woman starts talking, she becomes extremely enthusiastic.

In the kitchen, both men and women chat while working.

Only the children were watching.

He Xiao was cutting the meat attentively, while Huaihua was watching beside him, swallowing her saliva as she watched.

"Sister Huaihua, could you please not get so close? If I don't cut it well, the master will scold me again." He Xiao was speechless. This greedy girl, Huaihua is the greediest in this hospital. No matter what it is, she wants to try it, even Chinese medicine, she wants to have a taste.

"Erzhu, are you feeling guilty? You didn't practice well when you were a child." Huaihua blinked her big eyes and asked innocently.

He Xiao was so angry that his face turned red; "Sister Huaihua, I am different from when I was a child!"

"Then cut it faster, let me see."

"Cut it faster if you want."

Qi Su: ...

She felt like her son was being manipulated by someone.

"Pfft, the little kid is really interesting." Lou Xiao'e laughed.

"He's a bit silly, just like his father, but he's quite honest, which is nice."

"Of course not. If you have a good skill, you won't be afraid of going anywhere."

"The hot pot is here!" With Sha Zhu's shout, the steaming hot pot was served on the table.

You know what, there are quite a lot of people here at this moment.

The first and third uncles and their couples all came, and Cao Wei also invited the second uncle to come. If Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were still alive, he would not have gone. Now that they are gone, it is better to take care of the old man. During the ten years he was there, he also helped the courtyard to deal with many problems.

"Grandpa, could you please say a few words?" An old man cheerfully asked Grandpa Yang to speak.

In this courtyard, Mr. Yang is the oldest person.

"Hey, where do all the rules come from? It's a new era now. Just eat as much as you can!" Grandpa Yang waved his hand and everyone, let's eat!

"Eat more." Cao Wei gave Huaihua some meat.

Sophora japonica looked at him eagerly.

He was happy and handed over the sauce dish.

Huaihua then smiled happily and whispered, "Thank you, Dad."

Anyone who knows how to eat knows that hot pot, in addition to the ingredients and soup base, the sauce is the real soul. As a foodie, Huaihua has been craving Cao Wei's sauce for a long time. It's not that Cao Wei didn't tell her how to make it, but the sauce she made herself didn't have the right taste.

Like offering a treasure, Huaihua handed the sauce dish to Jia Zhang, and then looked at Cao Wei pitifully.

Cao Wei: ...

Huaihua's actions immediately attracted the attention of Shazhu who was standing next to him.

"Hey man, Lao Cao, do you have a secret recipe? Give me one too. I want to taste what it tastes like." Sha Zhu spoke in a loud voice, and the whole table could hear him.

Everybody looked over.

"Okay, stop busying yourself, I'll do it." Cao Wei simply stood up and prepared a pot of soup. Whoever wanted some could just scoop it up.

"Look at my memory." Sha Zhu slapped his forehead and said, "Wait, I have a few bottles of Fenjiu at home, I'll bring them over. It's snowing, eating mutton and sipping a little wine, it will be a great pleasure!"

After Sha Zhu said this, the old man also remembered and shouted, "Sha Zhu, take those bottles from my home with you too."

"Don't drink too much." Auntie Three said quickly.

"Hey, just a little bit. We won't force you to drink. Drink according to your own amount and don't drink too much." The first uncle didn't care, then seemed to remember something and looked at the third uncle: "Third uncle, don't mess around. You are old, don't risk your life just to eat one more bite."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about?" The third uncle's face turned red before he even drank any wine.

"Hahahahahahaha!" A burst of laughter broke out in the small room.

"Don't laugh. In the past, I might have drunk more, but now, I won't. I have tried all kinds of good wine. Life is better now. My horizons have also improved." The third uncle sighed.

"Hey, uncle, when you say that, finish the meat in your bowl first." Sha Zhu came back just in time, and when he heard this, he continued the conversation and laughed again.

Everyone else was happy with their own things. Huaihua's cheeks were filled with tears, moving up and down, just like a little squirrel.

"Child, eat slowly. You will be too full from today's meat." Cao Wei was somewhat helpless and helped her to clear her back.

"Great!! You guys stole the delicious food! Without waiting for us!!!"

As soon as Qin Jingru entered the room, her eyes went dark. Wow, there was so much food, including hot pot. Cao Wei even helped a little girl with her back to mouth. Lou Xiaoe didn't even say a word! How could this be reasonable! !
