Siheyuan: From the time I became a fool

"Why are you holding the bowl? Why don't we just go there and eat? It won't be a wasted trip. I have some peanuts for him to fry."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Xu Damao and threw him a small cloth bag containing about one pound of raw peanuts. Each peanut had been peeled and was plump.

It has to be said that capitalists are really not welcome these days. Even during the three years of natural disasters, these people from capitalist backgrounds still lived a relatively affluent life. They lived much better than ordinary people, which is why many people are dissatisfied with and hate capitalists.

On the one hand, ordinary people are oppressed and exploited by capitalists; on the other hand, they live a hard life of hunger and cold, while capitalists can enjoy delicious food. This gap between the rich and the poor is unacceptable, just like the ancient poem says: "The rich have wine and meat, while the poor are frozen on the road." How can such an unfair phenomenon not make people resentful?

Therefore, after a few years, the mentality of these people gradually changed and they began to go down the path of evil.

"Oh, my wife, you are still smart, but these peanuts are so cheap!"

Xu Damao rubbed his hands, feeling a little reluctant to part with the peanuts.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him again and said, "The emperor doesn't lack hungry soldiers. We can't let Sha Zhu work for nothing! Besides, do you want to be that guy and wash the dishes after dinner?"

Besides, we have a smooth journey this time, so we can often ask Sha Zhu to cook for us in the future, right?"

In this way, wouldn't Sha Zhu become Lou Xiao'e's personal chef?

"My wife is really smart, that's it!"

...

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh that the original owner's cooking skills were really good. Of course, Xu Damao's pheasant and mushrooms were also good. It wasn't fully cooked yet, but the fragrance wafting out made him greedy.

Seeing that the dish was almost ready, he added some potatoes, beans, sweet potato vermicelli, and a piece of frozen tofu to stew the rest.

This is his favorite dish, hotpot, but this hotpot is his own invention and has nothing to do with the Northeastern hotpot.

But the taste is absolutely amazing. His cooking skills were not very good before, but he could still eat two big bowls of rice with this.

"Silly Zhu?" Xu Damao came over with his wife, licking his face. He Yuzhu was about to curse.

Xu Damao was twisted hard on the waist by Lou Xiao'e. "Oh, wife, why are you twisting me? It hurts. Ah, that's not the right pillar. Look what I brought you. Let's fry some peanuts and eat them together. My wife doesn't eat much and hasn't eaten yet. You will definitely not chase us away, right!"

This donkey face is licking He Yuzhu's face with this look.

He Yuzhu felt a chill. "Since you said that, how can I chase you and your wife away? Come in quickly. You came at the perfect time. My soup is just ready. Wait, I'll put some more soup in it and it will be ready soon."

"Okay, Ezi, come in quickly. Hey, Zhuzi, I'll help you serve the dishes and rice, you hurry up and put the soup in!"

Xu Damao was very attentive and even helped his wife wipe the stools and table thoroughly again.

He Yuzhu, who was holding two green tomatoes, couldn't help but twitch his lips when seeing this.

Finally, he heated up the oil in a pan, and when the oil temperature was about right, he fried the peanuts.

He put it in a large bowl and sprinkled a little fine salt on it. He put one in his mouth and it tasted so good. It was so crispy and burnt like a banana.

Then I put clean water in the pot without even washing it, and put in this little bit of oil. I threw in chopped green onions and tomatoes when it was almost done, added a little bit of salt, and finally when it was almost done, I beat an egg and added a drop of sesame oil.

Xu Damao was so shocked that he said, "Oh my god, Zhuzi, you are awesome. Where did you get these tomatoes? I haven't eaten them for a long time."

"I went to the pigeon market today and bought some when I saw them, but I only bought these two and they didn't look that good. The seller was pretty shady."

He Yuzhu pouted and complained in a seemingly dissatisfied manner

Xu Damao agreed as well, "That's not good. Nowadays, it's hard to buy food anywhere. I don't know what's going on these days. When I go to the countryside to show movies, the farmers sigh every day. Some are so worried that they even say they want to sell their children."

"It's mainly about selling daughters, marrying them off quickly, and keeping sons basically."

While He Yuzhu was talking, the soup was ready. He tasted the saltiness with a spoon and found it to be very delicious.

He wondered if the water of this era was better? I didn't need to doubt it. The tap water of this era was better than the mineral water he bought!

You know, there is a lot of tap water in mineral water bottles in his space. Anyway, you can only drink it to keep people from dying of thirst.

Then there is the mineral water that is wholesaled and retails for only 10 yuan a box, tsk tsk tsk…

Compared with the ones of this era, it's really a waste. The most important thing is that it takes up space. He wanted to throw it away. But he couldn't find a suitable place, and he was afraid of getting into trouble. He thought about whether he could do it secretly, pour out the water one day, and then throw it into the stove to burn. But he also felt that this bottle might be useful sooner or later.

Xu Damao was quick to grab both chicken wings and put them in his wife's bowl. He then said, "That's about right. Today, there was a family with two older brothers who married their younger sister to a remote mountainous area. The betrothal gift was 300 kilograms of sweet potato chips. I heard that the family was very poor, and the five brothers married the eldest brother of the family. Tsk tsk tsk...

It really has a bit of the flavor of what those people call a public wife."

"Look at you talking nonsense, even eating can't stop you from talking."

Lou Xiao'e quickly stuffed a chicken leg into Xu Da Mao's mouth and glared at him.

Okay? This time Xu Damao didn't say anything.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu also quickened his eating speed. This couple was quite shrewd and only picked out the good meat to eat.

Well, but the free pheasant is delicious, and the wild mushrooms are also very tasty.

"Zhu Zi, I see you really like these wild mushrooms. I have several bunches at home. I'll bring them to you later. There's not much meat left. I have a piece of bacon at home. We can eat them together someday."

Xu Damao was quite generous, mainly because his wife was greedy and he was greedy too. After all, he couldn't get to the leader's drinking table yet, so he couldn't play any big, small, or two-timing games with others.

Of course, he can have fun, but he can't just blindly grab food there. He has to watch this and that face and let people play tricks on him.

But he is strong inside and very thick-skinned, so he doesn't feel any hurt in his self-esteem.

It stands to reason that it would be easy for such a person to climb up the social ladder. But as to why he couldn't, it was because he married the daughter of a capitalist.

Then, he was indeed quite clever, but unfortunately he met the old fox Li Huaide. His cleverness backfired, but fortunately, Li Huaide didn't act so cruelly in the end and didn't kill him. He just gave him a good beating.

"Okay, no problem. When the rain stops on Sunday, come over to my house and I'll try to get something else so we can have a good meal. Um, let's make a deal here. Don't call anyone else. Just the four of us. Nowadays, I've discovered that food is getting harder and harder to prepare, let alone meat."

"That's fine with me. It depends on you! Don't let Jia Dongxu's wife cry and act aggrieved and you become soft-hearted. But buddy, you are awesome. What happened today? You made Jia Dongxu's wife cry."

“Nothing, I just saw through this woman’s true nature. Moreover, this woman knew that my sister was hungry last night, but she still pretended to be pitiful today and wanted to steal our food.

You also know that we Beijing men are straightforward, righteous, and soft-hearted, and we don't want to argue with old women. But this old woman can't go too far, relying on her thick skin to pretend to be pitiful, and treat us as fools again and again, right?

So I just turned against this old woman so that she wouldn't have the audacity to come to me and beg for food in the future.

Everyone has food to eat these days. Our factory is relatively well off. I heard a few days ago that workers in some factories can’t even get enough food to eat.”

Whenever He Yuzhu mentioned the Jia family, Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain.

"It's rare, Zhuzi, you finally see clearly. In the past, no one dared to remind you because they were afraid that you would beat them up. There is no good person in the Jia family, young or old."

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips when she heard this. People said that Lou Xiao'e was a naive person, but that was actually inaccurate. A daughter raised by a capitalist, even if she was born to a concubine, could not be a naive person.

If you know about the domestic intrigues, you will find that people have been exposed to them since childhood.
