Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

“This…” Hu Zi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. “Aunt Yu Shui, you should keep it for yourself! If you give it all to me, you will have nothing left…”

"Eat it. Just take it when I give it to you. I'll tell you a secret. I have a lot of delicious food at home, all bought for me by my brother.

So, don’t worry, if I don’t have it, my brother will buy it for me.

But my brother said that you should eat less sugar, because eating too much will cause worms in your teeth..."

When He Yushui said this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Seeing Yu Shui’s true nature, Hu Zi couldn’t help but laugh too.

"Aunt, your brother treats you so well. My family really envies you!..." Hu Zi praised sincerely.

He Yushui touched his little head and smiled: "I envy you too! You have a father and a mother who love you, and a grandparent who loves you too..."

Hu Zi shook his little head like a rattle, "No, it's not like that. Only my parents love me. I seldom come to my grandparents' house.

My grandparents don’t like me. They always say that I am disobedient and don’t give in to my younger siblings.

But my little cousin always steals my things. If I don’t give them to him, he will go to grandma to complain and say that I bully him…”

After hearing this, He Yushui was stunned. She didn't expect that there were people who disliked Hu Zi.

She quickly comforted him: "It's okay! Don't you still have grandparents?"

"Aunt, my mother rarely brings me back home. There were many times when my grandmother wouldn't let my mother come back. But my father is the best to me. He always buys delicious food for me.........."

"Yushui, Huzi, it's time for dinner, come and eat..."

Hearing Ye Bingqing's shout, Yu Shui and Hu Zi stopped talking and walked towards the restaurant.

At this time, He Yuzhu, Liu Zhijian, Li Yumei, and Li Chuqiu and his wife were already seated, waiting for Yu Shui and Hu Zi to start eating.

Yu Shui took Hu Zi's hand and walked to the table and sat down.

Seeing that Yu Shui and Hu Zi were seated, Li Chuqiu asked everyone to start eating.

Li Yumei was very happy to see that He Yushui and Hu Zi had a harmonious relationship.

Liu Zhijian was not polite when he saw this. He had heard about He Yuzhu's cooking skills for a long time. It was impossible for him not to start eating as soon as possible when he had this opportunity today...

He first chose the Mu Shu Pork and tasted it. As expected, it was delicious and tender. The second time he tasted the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, and the third time he tasted the One-Piece Tofu. He couldn't stop eating.

When he tasted Dezhou Braised Chicken, he exclaimed, "It's so delicious, the meat is fresh, fragrant, tender, and not greasy. It's really a delicacy!"

Then he said to He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhuzi, this is the most authentic Dezhou Braised Chicken I have ever eaten..."

Seeing Liu Zhijian praising his cooking skills so much, He Yuzhu told him the origin and history of Dezhou Braised Chicken.

It is said that in the 1692st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign ( AD), there was a roast chicken artist named Jia Jiancai who ran a roast chicken shop on the West Gate Outer Street in Dezhou City. Because this street led to the canal wharf, the small business was quite good.

One day, Shopkeeper Jia had to go out for something urgent, so he asked the waiter to calm down the fire.

But soon after Manager Jia left, the young man fell asleep in front of the stove. When he woke up, he found that the food was overcooked.

Just when they were at a loss of what to do, Shopkeeper Jia came back and tried to fish the chicken out and sell it in the store.

Unexpectedly, the chicken smelled so tempting that it attracted many passers-by to buy it. After buying it and tasting it, the customers praised it: not only was the meat tender and fragrant, but even the bones were crispy and fragrant when chewed, which was really delicious.

Afterwards, Manager Jia devoted himself to research and improving his skills.

They also invited Mr. Ma, a scholar from Maliukou Street, and asked him to taste the chicken and name it.

Ma Xiucai tasted the chicken, asked about the cooking method, and chanted as he tasted it:

"In the heat of the moment, the bones and flesh are torn apart,

The strange fragrance is overwhelming;

This made me stretch out my five fingers.

The mouthfeel is delicious and the taste lingers long in your mouth. "

After reciting the poem, he blurted out: "What a great five-spice boneless braised chicken!"

Hence the name Dezhou Braised Chicken.

He Yuzhu spoke vividly and Liu Zhigang listened with great interest.

After he finished speaking, the whole family applauded.

After that, the two of them ate and chatted, and they became familiar with each other in no time.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of job do you do now?..."

He had heard that Liu Zhijian was a very good person, having become an important official of the local military control committee before he was 30 years old, so he asked directly, hoping that the two of them could help each other in the future.

Liu Zhijian said modestly, "Brother Zhuzi, I am just a small clerk in the Military Control Commission over there.

But this year, perhaps police stations, neighborhood committees, district committees, etc. will be set up.

There will be changes in work, and you may go to the street neighborhood committee or the police station.

In fact, what I want to go to most is the district committee, because I am only good at literature, not martial arts.

I heard that Brother Zhuzi was sent to the police station because of his good kung fu skills..."

He Yuzhu heard this and smiled. "I'm just a cook. Officer Wang and Captain Zhang of the Mongolian Military Control Commission thought highly of me and asked me to work as an ordinary police officer in the police station. I don't get paid. How can I compare to you, my brother-in-law..."

"Brother Zhuzi is too modest. Anyone who is personally named by the superiors to go to the police station is definitely not an ordinary person..." Liu Zhijian said sincerely.

He Yuzhu listened to Liu Zhijian and poured him another glass of wine, "Come on! Brother-in-law, let's not talk about this. Drink with friends and recite poems to people who understand. Today we meet like old friends, and we won't stop drinking until we are drunk. Come, I'll toast you a glass..."

Seeing He Yuzhu so cheerful, Liu Zhijian took the wine glass and clinked it with him, saying, "Brother Zhuzi, your father-in-law is blessed to have you as his disciple after three lifetimes of cultivation, and it is also a thousand years of fate for me to meet you. Okay, I will listen to you today, and we will drink together!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He Yuzhu also raised his glass and drank, which made Li Chuqiu and his wife so anxious that they were at a loss as to what to do.

They don't want to see their beloved son-in-law and disciple become drunkards.

But He Yuzhu and Liu Zhigang had finally met someone they knew, so how could they not drink and talk freely?

"Brother-in-law, it's rare that we get along so well, how about we become sworn brothers..." He Yuzhu was indeed a little drunk.

Liu Zhijian was about to agree when He Yushui interrupted and said, "Brother, you are the master's adopted son, which means you are my senior sister's younger brother, and your brother-in-law is my senior sister's husband. You two are brothers with different surnames..."

"Haha..." Liu Zhijian laughed, "Yushui is right, we are brothers. If you need help, just ask, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation..."
