Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"Then you can say it, I'll go right away."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he excitedly rode his bicycle away from the courtyard.

He Daqing looked at the man behind him and saw how impetuous he was. He shook his head helplessly and got up to go to the main room.

What else can he do? His children are his debts, and this is the first time his daughter-in-law has made a request since she became pregnant. How can he, as an old man, not satisfy her?

After saying hello to Bai Yingying and asking her to lock the door, He Daqing also left the courtyard.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle all the way to Houhai, and when he went to the first store to express his request, he was told on the spot that they did not have the product.

Only then did he realize that the so-called Luzon yellow croaker fin was not what he had imagined.

This is a kind of yellow shark fin produced in the Philippines.

It was at this time that he remembered that "Luzon" is another name for "Philippines" in China.

Although the first one didn't have it, He Yuzhu still didn't give up. He went to the remaining ones and then left with his head down.

He Yuzhu didn’t find any suitable shark fin and didn’t want to make do with anything less, so he had to ride his bike slowly back to the courtyard.

While riding, I was thinking about how to explain to my wife when I get home.

As he was riding, he heard someone talking to him, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Changping.

"Brother He, what are you doing?"

Xu Changping also found nothing and left the library disappointed. There was nothing he could do as things related to feudal superstition had basically disappeared these days, and even if they existed they were hard to find.

There was no response from the system. He had something on his mind and didn't want to go to Yang Xiaoyue's house, so he thought about riding his bike back to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, I saw He Yuzhu on the road. He was riding his bike swaying left and right. He pedaled hard twice, rode to He Yuzhu's side and greeted him.

"Ah, I came out here to buy something, but I didn't buy anything."

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said with a look of disappointment on his face.

"What are you buying?"

Xu Changping was also bored, so he asked curiously.

"An ingredient, Luzon yellowfin croaker fin."

He Yuzhu did not hide it. After all, he was a cook in the steel mill, so it didn't matter if he was discovered when he went out to buy ingredients.

What's more, Xu Changping is a nice guy and he keeps his mouth shut. His family affairs have not been leaked out until now.

"This thing is hard to buy right now! If no one specifically orders it, I don't think it will be available on the market."

He Yuzhu didn't expect that Xu Changping also knew about this kind of shark fin. He immediately turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Changping's mother was a country girl. Even if they came to the city to work and study, they would not know about such precious ingredients!

At this moment, He Yuzhu began to think of conspiracy theories in his head, and he didn't care about how to explain to his wife when he got home. He tried to test her:

"Brother, do you have any research on ingredients?"

"I got Heshen's food list some time ago, and there are some records in it."

The suspicion in He Yuzhu's eyes was almost overflowing, and Xu Changping explained helplessly.

"Heshen's menu?" He Yuzhu was surprised at first, then he said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, can you lend it to me to have a look?"

"Okay, come back with me to get it later." Xu Changping agreed readily.

I don't know whether He Yuzhu wanted to verify the truth of his words or wanted to see the menu.

"Brother Xu, you are so nice." He Yuzhu was relieved of his doubts when he heard Xu Changping's straightforward answer, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Brother He, although you can't buy Manzanita dorado fins outside, there might be one place that has them." Xu Changping said with a smile when he saw He Yuzhui's straightforward expression of his feelings on his face.

"Where?" He Yuzhu didn't expect Xu Changping even knew where to buy it, and asked in disbelief.

"I'll give you a hint! The backyard." Xu Changping asked in a riddle.

"Yan Jiecheng? There's nothing wrong with him. He can only get the more common ingredients." He Yuzhu's first reaction was Yan Jiecheng, and he quickly shook his head in denial.

"It's not him." Xu Changping didn't expect He Yuzhu to think of Yan Jiecheng.

But judging from the casual way he spoke, he must have bought things from Yan Jiecheng quite often.

"Who is that?" He Yuzhu asked.

This kid is usually very quick and decisive, why is he beating around the bush today?

"Xu Damao's house!" Xu Changping stopped teasing him and gave the answer directly.

"Xu Damao? He's not good enough. He's not as good as Yan Jiecheng. He can only get some seasonal vegetables and game from the countryside." He Yuzhu shook his head repeatedly.

He doesn't even know how capable Xu Damao is. Where can he get such valuable things?

"Brother He, you are really blinded by one thing!" Xu Changping laughed softly, and then continued: "I am talking about Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e."

"Lou Xiao'e, by the way, how could I forget about her? This thing is not available anywhere else, so it must be in her home!" He Yuzhu also remembered the Lou family when Xu Changping reminded him.

It was all because after he was informed, in order to avoid the plot, he didn't interact with Xu Damao much, which made him forget about this important person for a while.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. I really wouldn't have remembered it if you hadn't mentioned it." He Yuzhu grinned and thanked Xu Changping.

"It's okay, you just didn't think about it for a moment." Xu Changping did not take credit for it and said with a smile on his face.

"Well, Brother Xu, take your time riding. I'll go back to find Lou Xiao'e first." After getting the answer, He Yuzhu didn't want to delay for a moment. He said something to Xu Changping and started pedaling his bicycle quickly.

At this moment, he didn't bother to follow Xu Changping to his house to look at Heshen's menu. He just wanted to quickly find Lou Xiao'e to talk about the shark fin issue.

Xu Changping didn't care about He Yuzhu's attitude of throwing things away after use, and slowly rode his bicycle towards the courtyard.

However, He Yuzhu's words today successfully aroused his appetite. He started searching in the system store while riding his bike.

After searching for a long time, I found nothing but a lot of dried shark fins.

It was only then that he realized that the ready-made meals provided by the system were all ordinary home-cooked dishes. There was no trace of big dishes like shark fin, bird's nest, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

After calling the system several times again, there was still no response. Xu Changping had no choice but to put the question aside for the time being.

As soon as Xu Changping returned to the courtyard, before he entered the middle courtyard, he saw He Yuzhu following Lou Xiao'e and walking out from the backyard.

He Yuzhu is really fast!

He had just entered the yard and they had already finished their discussion and were ready to go out.

Xu Changping did not act as a roadblock. He pushed his bicycle and quickly took two steps inside to clear the gate of the central courtyard.
