Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

Li Chuqiu saw that it was a watch, so he asked, "Zhu Zi, I told you to come, why are you here to buy wine and a watch? You are not working now, where do you get the money to buy me a watch?..."

"Master, I just don't want to work as a chef at Fengze Garden. Didn't Zhang Datou ask me to work at the police station last time? And Song Bojian asked me to open a shop with him? With these two jobs in the future, are you still worried that I won't have money to support Da Yushui?"

"But you can't buy such an expensive watch, right? Master would feel unworthy of such an expensive gift. Look at my age, I don't need to wear such a nice watch!" Li Chuqiu declined.

"Master, this watch is not new. I asked Chen Xiong to buy it second-hand. It only cost 30 yuan...

Master, I am giving it to you, please accept it! Otherwise, I will be angry...”

Seeing this, He Yuzhu said with a stern face.

"Zhuzi, is it really only 30 yuan?..."

"Master, it's true! I would never lie to you..."

"Okay then, I'll take it..."

Li Chuqiu looked at the watch from left to right, thought it was very beautiful, and put it on his left wrist.

When he saw this watch, he was actually very happy. He had never worn such a good watch in his life!

But seeing He Yuzhu spending money so lavishly, I was worried that he would have no future security.

When He Yuzhu saw his master wearing a watch, he felt relieved and started to make Dezhou Braised Chicken...

Slaughtering and removing hair, soaking and shaping, coloring and drying, frying and frying, boiling in soup and finally serving as the finished product, this series of processes are so smooth that Li Chuqiu can't help but admire him. How can this be an apprentice he brought up himself?

He is clearly the ancestor of the culinary world, but I wonder how He Daqing managed to teach his son to be such an excellent cook?

During the production process, He Yuzhu also used his spare time to make four Shandong dishes.

First-class tofu, nine-turn large intestine, white fungus in clear soup, Mushu pork, plus the six Sichuan dishes made by Master Li Chuqiu, steamed Jiangtuan, fish-flavored pork shreds, twice-cooked pork, Dongpo pork elbow...

The table in the kitchen is really full of color, fragrance and taste.

At this time, Li Chuqiu's daughter, Li Yumei, son-in-law Liu Zhijian, and son Huzi all came to pay New Year's greetings!

Li Chuqiu's daughter Li Yumei is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She has a pretty face and a gentle temperament between her eyebrows. She is wearing a hand-sewn red cotton jacket embroidered with several delicate plum blossoms, which makes her look particularly festive.

Her son-in-law Liu Zhigang, who is a few years older than her, has a resolute face and his eyes reveal a maturity and stability. He is wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and carrying a cloth bag full of gifts on his shoulder. He walks silently beside Li Yumei.

My son Xiaohu was wearing a dark blue cotton jacket, black cotton trousers, and a pair of brand new cotton shoes.

He was jumping around, eating a string of newly bought candied haws in his hand, and laughing happily from time to time.

"Dad...Mom...I'm back..." Li Yumei shouted loudly as she arrived at the door of her house, her voice filled with excitement and sobs.

She knew that as an only daughter, marrying someone in a town fifty kilometers away was a great act of unfilial piety.

Besides, her husband was just a small clerk in the town’s military control committee, and his monthly salary was not even as high as her father’s as a chef.

Normally, I don't have time to accompany her home to reunite with her parents, and I only bring Hu Zi back a few times a year.

Two months ago, she heard that the father of her father's favorite disciple He Yuzhu abandoned her and her siblings and went to Baoding City. Her parents wanted to care for them and adopted them as their adopted sons and daughters. She was very happy.

Because when she was not around, her parents finally had someone to take care of them.

Her husband Liu Zhijian heard that He Yuzhu's cooking was first-rate and wanted to come and try it, so he also wanted to meet He Yuzhu.

So this year I was much happier visiting my father-in-law's house than in previous years.

When Mr. and Mrs. Li Chuqiu heard Li Yumei's voice, they came out with kind smiles on their faces.

They walked up quickly and hugged their daughter and grandson tightly, with tears in their eyes.

At this moment, all the thoughts and concerns turned into a silent hug, warm and profound.

Afterwards, Li Chuqiu and his wife exchanged greetings with their son-in-law Liu Zhigang for a while, then invited him into the house, sat down to drink tea, and chatted about some trivial things in daily life. Then they introduced He Yuzhu and Yu Shui to them.

When Liu Zhijian saw He Yuzhu, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, saying, "I have heard of your name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today!"

When He Yuzhu heard him say three idioms in a row.

I thought to myself, it turns out that my senior sister married a nerd.

When Liu Zhijian saw He Yuzhu's expression, he knew that this was a man who was both thoughtful and opinionated, and he couldn't help but admire him.

Li Chuqiu was very pleased to see that his son-in-law Liu Zhijian and He Yuzhu showed mutual respect for each other.

Ye Bingqing brought Hu Zi to He Yushui and said, "Yushui, this is your senior sister's son Hu Zi..."

"You are Yu Shui, right? My name is Hu Zi. I heard from my mother that you are his junior fellow apprentice's sister, which means you are my aunt, but you are only a little older than me. Can I call you Sister Yu Shui?..."

Hu Zi was very happy to see Yu Shui. He didn't hesitate and spoke directly to He Yu Shui.

When He Yushui saw Hu Zi, she didn't act pretentiously and said with a smile: "Brother Hu Zi, we are a family from now on, so don't say anything to be polite!......"

But I was thinking in my heart, wait, I’ll let you call me aunt later.

When Hu Zi heard He Yushui agreed to his request, he was even happier, "That's great, Sister Yushui! Don't worry, if there's anything delicious in the future, I will definitely give it to you first..."

Speaking of delicious food, Yu Shui immediately thought of her Little White Rabbit Toffees. She took one out of her pocket and handed it to Hu Zi, saying, "Brother Hu Zi, here's one for you. This is Little White Rabbit Toffees..."

Hu Zi looked at the Little White Rabbit Milk Candy in his hand and a bright smile broke out on his face.

After he took the Little White Rabbit Toffees, he couldn't wait to stuff them into his mouth and ate them with gusto...

Seeing that the two children hit it off immediately, Ye Bingqing said, "Yushui, Huzi, you two play first. I'll go to the kitchen to bring out the dishes. We'll have lunch later..."

He Yushui and Hu Zi both nodded.

Ye Bingqing turned around and went into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Seeing that Hu Zi was so happy eating the Little White Rabbit Milk Candy, He Yushui gave him another one.

But when Hu Zi looked at the little white rabbit milk candy in his hand, he suddenly felt reluctant to eat it. This little white rabbit milk candy was so delicious. It would be great if he could take it back and let other children envy it...

He Yushui saw what Hu Zi was thinking and said, "Hu Zi, eat it! I have more here..." Then he took out a dozen Little White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and handed them to him.
