Siheyuan: From the time I became a fool

"Brother, my sister-in-law is starving! Is there anything to eat at home?"

He Yushui rushed back home on her bicycle listlessly and started yelling that she was even thinner this year. She didn't eat well to begin with, and her hair had grown rapidly this year.

He Yuzhu was numb. This girl's head was over 1 meters tall this year, and she was not shorter than him.

So he seriously suspected that the beast He Daqing passed away too early, and Sha Zhu took on the burden of life too early, which resulted in him not growing when he should have.

"The rain is back, the rice will be ready soon! I'll cook some more."

When Han Ruoshui heard that He Yushui had returned, she was happier than He Yuzhu.

He hurriedly stewed the skinny cured fish and added a handful of dried beans that He Yuzhu had gotten from somewhere.

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. Hehe...Oh my god, there is no other food for me to eat. Now many of my classmates have fainted from hunger, and several have dropped out of school!"

He Yushui sat down in front of Han Ruoshui and watched her cook. She was not being pretentious or lazy, she was just so hungry that her eyes were weak.

"Wait a minute, these vegetable dumplings will be cooked soon. There is no leftover food in the house nowadays!" He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at his sister and finally threw her two pieces of cleanly washed sweet potato.

Of course, these dried sweet potatoes were the stock in his space, and he was very fortunate to have bought a lot of dried sweet potatoes dried by local farmers in the countryside.

Otherwise, if you buy it from the wholesale market, the sweet potato chips produced in this factory will be found to be wrong at a glance. They are too soft and too sweet, and they don’t have skins. You can see at a glance that they are covered with sugar.

"Brother, you are so nice..."

"Wife, steam these dried sweet potatoes. I'll call our parents over. It's a rare occasion for us to have meat, so let them have some too."

"Okay, go ahead!" Naturally, he was willing to give it to his parents Han Ruoshui.

Then he quickly steamed the dried sweet potatoes that He Yuzhu gave him, without washing them. That's how it is these days, there's no need to be so pretentious.

"Ruoshui, look what good stuff I brought!"

At this time, Xu Damao and his wife came, holding a pair of pig intestines in their hands, which made Han Ruoshui stare at them.

"Oh my god, you two are so wild, how could you get such a good thing?"

"That's right, don't you see who I am! Well, I came to your place today to eat for free! I also brought two kilograms of cornmeal!"

Xu Damao said with a smug look on his face, in short, they are the only couple living the most comfortable life in the whole courtyard. Even so, they still keep a low profile, otherwise, haha!

Although Lou Zhenguo is not doing well now, to be honest, don't underestimate these capitalists. As long as they want, they can eat meat three times a day.

Giving his daughter a pig's intestine, what's that? This is the lowest of low-key ones.

"I can't do this. It's so precious! How about I cook it and you can take it. There's oil in the intestines."

Compared to He Yuzhu, Han Ruoshui is much more shameless.

"Why are you giving it to us? I said we should eat together, so let's eat together. Um, steam the cornmeal for us. The vegetable dumplings you made last time were delicious."

Lou Xiao'e said quickly that she didn't know why, but she really liked Han Ruoshui's cooking. She couldn't tell what was good about it, but she just liked eating it. She felt that no other food in the world could compare to Han Ruoshui's cooking.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it. My parents are coming and the rain has returned. But I won't say thank you. I'll keep it in my heart."

Han Ruoshui smiled embarrassedly, and quickly washed the clean dried vegetables that Zhuzi got from somewhere, and then chopped them up and prepared the stuffing.

This is also thanks to the pig intestines, which contain oil. Han Ruoshui made a lot of oil from the pig intestines.

As time was tight and adding old yeast was not an option, Han Ruoshui just made the dough and steamed it.

As they were talking, He Yuzhu came over with the two elders. Han Tiejun was also happily carrying half a dried wild rabbit, which was obviously sent to him by his old comrade-in-arms.

"Mom and Dad, you're here. Come find a place to sit for a while. Don't get tired. Zhuzi, I can't handle this rabbit..." Han Ruoshui smiled when she saw him coming.

"Leave everything to me."

He Yuzhu skillfully stewed half a dried rabbit and stuffed it with some inconspicuous but edible dried potatoes.

And his wife has already stewed the pig's large intestine. It must be said that the Lou family is really thoughtful and they clean the pig's large intestine for their daughter in advance.

As for his wife's skill in stewing pig intestines, He Yuzhu also admired it. She only used onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, and no other ingredients, not even cooking wine. But the stew turned out to be extremely delicious.

But it took a while, and my wife had to keep watching without blinking.

If this thing can be cooked successfully, Li Huaide will have to support his wife.

But if you want to make a big stove, it won’t work. Just for my wife, it would be so exhausting to be so meticulous.

But one thing is that his wife did not hide anything and taught him all the details.

He studied very hard, and with the help of the original owner's cooking skills, he learned about 70% of it.

Moreover, he can do hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of work at the same time, which is something his wife cannot do.

Once he made stewed pig intestines for Li Huaide, and Li Huaide praised him highly, saying that it was the best in the world. He even gave him two very precious milk powder coupons.

What kind of year is this? This is a milk powder ticket, and it’s a barrel of milk powder.

He bought it secretly and used it to nourish his wife, and occasionally secretly added a little to rain water.

Unfortunately, his wife was reluctant to part with it and gave 1/3 to her parents to nourish their bodies, which made him helpless.

It's just that he has been married to his wife for almost a year, and he found that her physique is similar to that of Yu Shui, so he felt relieved.

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills are amazing, but I still like the pig intestines stewed by Ruo Shui and these vegetable dumplings. It turns out that men and women like different things."

As they were talking, everything was ready. Several people sat at the table and started eating, talking and laughing.

Only Lou Xiao'e had the most relaxed expression, the best demeanor, and she ate the most properly. How should I put it? Just eating with Lou Xiao'e was a pleasure.

The others were almost there. Even though Yu Shui had been educated by him occasionally, he still had the most basic manners when eating at the table and did not snatch food or smack his lips.

It is worth mentioning that his wife does not smack her lips when eating. This shows that the two old people have brought up Han Ruoshui very well.

"I also think my wife's craftsmanship is quite good, and I feel very proud."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh. He was confident enough and capable enough, so the better his wife was, the happier he would be.

"Zhu Zi, you have a good attitude! You deserve praise."

Xu Damao couldn't help laughing

The two elders also laughed, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

"Wow wow wow..."

At this moment, the sound of a child crying was heard outside the door, and it was Xiaodang crying.

"This Jia family is great. Why are both working couples making such a fuss? Why did Jia Zhang bring this child out in such a cold weather?"

As soon as Xu Damao heard it, he knew that Jia Zhang was trying to cause trouble again.

"It's hard for everyone these days. I've worked so hard to get this much, and so has Zhuzi. How dare you think of taking advantage of me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Damao. Aunt Jia didn't mean that. Maybe those two haven't come back from get off work yet, so Aunt Jia is anxious and wants to go check on them. Besides, we don't even have enough food here, so how can we afford to help other families!

It's because Yu Shui looked so bad that my wife fainted twice. I felt bad for her, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to find a replacement and shamelessly taken advantage of you two."

He Yuzhu tells lies with open eyes

"Brother, you are so nice, but I promise I won't faint again, absolutely not."

He Yushui acted silly, as if he was cheering for him, but in fact everyone knew what was going on.

"Zhu Zi, I'm the same. I'll try not to sit still while working. Exercise will burn up energy. I'm in the Propaganda Department anyway, so I don't need to move around all the time."

Han Ruoshui also quickly promised to watch it, and the two elders couldn't help but shake their heads.

"This famine year is difficult for everyone, but I believe that if we work together, we can definitely get through it."

Jia Zhang, who was outside the door, curled her lips and said, "You guys are just fooling the ghosts by burning newspapers at the grave! If you are really that hungry, you dare to eat meat, won't you die?"

But it’s okay to eat a little bit, right?

But in fact, the Jia family's life was not that bad. Jia Dongxu would occasionally secretly bring in some things, such as half a pig lung, a small piece of pig intestine, or even some minced meat that did not look very clean. Although it was not very good, who would need a bicycle in this day and age.

The Jia family was also very smart when it came to food. As for these things, Jia Zhang would basically secretly go out to some wild forest to cook them.

I would make sure that it didn’t give off any smell before I took it home, cut it into small pieces, mixed it with cooked vegetable dumplings, and ate it secretly. I never even showed off my small stick stems to others.

Qin Huairu could still occasionally bring home a few steamed buns made from 20 grams of flour, but she kept it a secret.

As for where the steamed buns with two jin flour came from in those days, it was obvious that she was pregnant with a child, and someone had such a strong taste, and she was not short of food.

After what happened last time, Yu Shui no longer dared to be a saint. "Brother, the dried wild vegetables you prepared are too tough. I can't even chew them."

He Yuzhu is very satisfied with his sister's increasingly skilled acting. "If you can't chew it, chew it hard. Swallow it when it's almost done. Some of it is good to eat, but in some places there is no grass roots or tree bark to eat.

If you don’t believe me, ask your brother Damao what the situation is like in the countryside now!”
