Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Chapter 33: Encounter by chance, go to Xueru Silk Shop to make clothes

Chen Jun was actually very confused. With He Daqing's cooking skills, he could easily find a job in a state-owned restaurant. Was there any need for him to go out and ride a tricycle?

Moreover, riding a tricycle is a job that requires driving around the city to transport goods, and sooner or later he will be caught by Sha Zhu.

But if the person just now was not He Daqing, then why do they look the same?

Silly uncle?

It doesn't matter, this has nothing to do with him.

Chen Jun shook his head and got rid of the thought.

Leading Lin Yao, we continued strolling forward. Further ahead was Qianmen Street, where there were more shops selling cloth and making clothes.

As he was walking, Chen Jun suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Chen Jun, Chen Jun!"

Following the sound, Chen Jun saw a woman in a tweed coat not far away, waving at him.

"Brother, that woman seems to be calling you." Lin Yao said curiously.

Chen Jun nodded and looked up at the place where the woman was standing. There were five big words "Xueru Silk Shop" written on it.

It’s really Chen Xueru. I didn’t expect to meet her here.

The current Chen Xueru should have just taken over this silk shop, and the signs above are all new.

"Let's go over and say hello." Chen Jun said.

Lin Yao followed her curiously, and when she got closer she found that the woman was wearing a fashionable tweed coat, a pair of small leather shoes, had an unusual curly hairstyle, and a pair of sparkling earrings on her ears.

"It's really you. What a coincidence." Chen Xueru greeted Chen Jun enthusiastically.

Ever since Chen Jun helped her last time, Chen Xueru had been thinking about finding time to go to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, but she didn't expect to meet him today.

Chen Jun nodded and briefly introduced them to each other: "This is my sister, Lin Yao."

"This is Chen Xueru, my...my friend."

After Chen Jun finished his introduction, he suddenly thought of something.

The tricycle rider I just met must be Wobo, right? No wonder he looks so similar to He Daqing.

younger sister?

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, then she showed a charming smile, stretched out her right hand and spoke actively.

"Hello sister, your brother helped me once before, and we are good friends now."

Lin Yao was still young and had never shaken hands with anyone before, so she seemed a little reserved for a moment.

"Hello."

After a simple handshake, Chen Xueru began to chat with Chen Jun with great interest.

When he learned that the two of them were buying some cloth to make clothes, he immediately pulled Lin Yao in.

It’s good to make clothes, she can do that in her shop.

Chen Jun was also not nervous because he had money in his pocket. Even when he entered Chen Xueru's silk shop, he behaved very calmly.

Not only did she spend a lot of money on decorating her shop, but the fabrics inside are also of very high quality, otherwise it wouldn't dare be called a silk shop.

"Come on, take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Chen Xueru took Lin Yao's hand and introduced the silk in the store with a smile.

Chen Junze took a casual look at them himself, but he didn't know much about these things, so he could only feel which one felt better.

Not to mention Lin Yao, she was a twelve-year-old girl who usually wore clothes made of coarse cloth and had never seen such high-end things.

"Do you like this one? If you do, just measure the size. We can make clothes directly into it in our store. Whether it's a cheongsam for summer or a cotton-padded jacket for winter, we can make it in our store." Chen Xueru took out a piece of cloth whose color was more suitable for Lin Yao and asked with a smile.

Lin Yao became even more nervous when she saw this. She didn't even know the price, so naturally she didn't dare to agree.

Chen Jun smiled and patted his sister's shoulder, then said to Chen Xueru, "My sister has a soft personality. I think this color is good. Let's make two sets of clothes and wear them alternately."

"Also, my mother needs to have a set of clothes made. I'll bring her to the store to get her measurements taken some other day."

Chen Xueru was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Aren't you going to have one?"

"Forget it. The clothes in your store are too expensive. I can't wear them on a regular basis." Chen Jun felt that his clothes made of coarse cloth were pretty good. He didn't mind if they got some oil on them when cooking.

When Chen Xueru heard this, she looked at Chen Jun carefully.

An ordinary man would be eager to show off in front of her, but the man in front of her not only did not show off too much, but he also took the initiative to say that the clothes in his store were relatively expensive and he was reluctant to spend money on them.

He has a nice personality and isn't pretentious at all, which makes him quite suitable as a friend to her.

Thinking of this, Chen Xueru called a aunt in her forties and took Lin Yao to the back to measure the size.

She walked to a piece of navy blue cloth and said to Chen Jun with a smile, "It's not that close from Dongzhimen to Zhengyangmen. Since you are here, why not make some clothes for yourself?"

"Last time, you not only helped me, but also helped me vent my anger. I, Chen Xueru, must repay a favor. I have to pay this favor back, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night."

Chen Jun smiled and shook his head: "The clothes can be made, but the money still needs to be paid. After all, these four sets of clothes are not cheap."

"That won't cost a hundred dollars!" Chen Xueru had a strong personality. Without waiting for Chen Jun to agree, she called a shop assistant to measure Chen Jun's size.

This made Chen Jun feel a bit helpless.

But this is in line with Chen Xueru's personality. She is strong and most men cannot control her.

"Okay, then let's do as you say. When you are free at noon, you can go to East Street. I will set up a stall there and I can treat you to a meal." Chen Jun said.

"You can also cook?" Chen Xueru asked with some surprise.

Chen Jun is thin and there is no trace of a chef in him.

"Of course, my cooking skills are pretty good, you can come and try it when you have time."

When talking about food, Chen Xueru became interested and pulled Chen Jun to ask him all kinds of questions. They immediately decided to go to East Street tomorrow to try Chen Jun's cooking.

"Okay, let's leave first so as not to delay Boss Chen's business."

After both of them finished measuring the size, Chen Jun said goodbye.

Xueru Silk Shop has a good location. Even though the items in the store are relatively expensive, there is still a lot of traffic in the store.

"No, let's talk for a while, I'll make you a pot of tea." Chen Xueru felt that the man in front of her was quite interesting. Although he was not very old, he could always connect with the conversation no matter what you talked to him about.

The most important thing is that Chen Jun looked at her with clear eyes, which was different from other men.

"Oh, all right."

I just chatted with Chen Xueru for a long time and my mouth is a little dry.

Lin Yao on the side seemed to have slowly adapted to the environment here. She was no longer as reserved as before. She drank jasmine tea while listening to the conversation between her elder brother and Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru seems like a bit of a strong woman. Her ideas are different from most people. She likes making friends and even has acquaintances on the Russian side.

Most people would not be able to follow up on these topics, but Chen Jun was different. Although he was not a graduate of a top university, he at least had an undergraduate degree, and he had traveled from the 21st century, so his knowledge and thoughts far surpassed Chen Xueru's.
