Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

"Don't worry, Jie Di does this every day at home. She will definitely wash your clothes clean and tidy your house."

"Okay then, you don't have to clean the house. As I said before, I'm afraid of gossip. If I have dirty clothes, Jie Di can take them back and wash them for me. Then just return them to me after washing. I have soap at home, so don't try to pick my soap when the time comes."

"Okay, it's settled then."

After saying this, he finished his tea, looked at the teapot reluctantly, and then left.

He left, but he didn't go home. He went to see Wang Yang and others working. He wanted to take the opportunity to help and get a meal from the pig slaughtering.

As it turned out, Wang Yang had already found someone to clean up the pigs, and the three of them just stood aside after boiling water.

Yan Bugui could only sigh and turned back home.

After the people in the courtyard knew that the pig belonged to Li Gousheng, the woman in the family who had the final say came directly to Li Feng. They all had the same thing in mind: New Year was approaching and they wanted to exchange it for some meat.

Li Feng did not agree to any of them. Everyone said the same thing: If you want meat, sorry, there is no meat.

These women had no choice but to wait for the head of the family to come back.

It was the end of the year, and after Sha Zhu cooked a special meal for his leader, he had nothing to do for the next two days. There were other people doing the big pot meal, so he rode his bike home first. He planned to take Tang Xin to buy some New Year's goods.

As soon as he arrived at the compound, he saw someone slaughtering a pig at the door of Li Feng's house. He was stunned. He saw Li Feng watching the excitement at the door and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

"Oh, this, isn't it New Year's Day? Some of my apprentices sent me a pig."

"It's just right that you're back. Come and help me make the pig-killing dish. Have a drink later."

"Oh, right, Yu Shui and Tang Xiao Mei are back too, let them come over to eat together, it will be more lively with more people."

"Okay, I'll go buy New Year's goods tomorrow, and I'll be your workhorse today."

"Haha, then thank you in advance. By the way, let's see if Xu Damao is at home and call him over."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

As soon as the two finished talking, Xu Damao came back pushing a bicycle with a lot of mountain products on it.

He was also startled when he saw a pig being slaughtered in the yard, and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Are they slaughtering pigs for the New Year?"

Li Feng told him again about his apprentice's early New Year greetings, and when he saw him carrying a lot of bags, he asked, "Did you just come back from the movie?"

"Yes, this is arranged by the leader. He asked me to go to various villages to show movies. I guess I won't be back until New Year's Eve!"

"Okay, you send the car back first, then come over and have a drink with us, and we'll have some pig-killing dishes."

"Okay, I went to the countryside and the villagers gave me a lot of vermicelli and mushrooms, and I just happened to have a cleaned chicken here."

"I'll add another dish later: stewed sauerkraut with vermicelli and stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Just bring your belly with you. I have all these here."

"No, that won't work. What's yours is yours, and what I took is mine. I won't say any more. I'm going back first."

"Okay, don't come alone, bring your sister-in-law with you, Yu Shui and the others will come over soon."

As he was speaking, the butcher had already processed the pig, packed up his tools, and left with his apprentice.

Li Feng wanted to keep him for a meal before leaving, but the master refused to agree and just left.

After this silly Zhu finished talking to Tang Xin and the other two girls, he returned to the front yard. He was not polite and cooked whatever piece of meat he liked. After a while, the fragrance filled the whole yard, making everyone in the yard drool.

After a while, Xu Damao came back alone, handed the chicken and mushroom vermicelli to Sha Zhu, and sat down to drink tea.

Li Feng took a plate of melon seeds and peanuts and placed it on the table and asked, "Where's my sister-in-law?"

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "There's no one at home. I guess he went back to his parents' house. He wasn't home yesterday."

"Hey, sister-in-law, you won't have a good meal today! When she comes back, you have to testify for me that I didn't fail to call her."

"Come and try my fried melon seeds. How do they taste?"

At this time, Wang Yang came over and asked, "Master, do you use pig blood to make blood sausage? Isn't this a bit too much?"

Li Feng looked over and said, "Use half of the pig blood to make blood sausage, and the rest to make blood tofu."

"You can give it to He Yuzhu later. In terms of seniority, you should call him uncle. You can learn from your uncle if you have nothing to do. After you learn it, you can cook delicious food yourself, right?"

"Don't underestimate him. He is the descendant of authentic Tan family cuisine and the chef of the steel mill. You will know when you eat."

Sha Zhu came in and heard what he said and said, "Haha, don't listen to your master's nonsense. I'm just an ordinary cook."

"So, brother, what do you think about the kidneys and liver?"

"Let's fry three of these, add some seasoning and salt later, and take a bite. They will be so delicious!"

"Okay, let's do this."

The meal was not ready until noon. When everyone sat down at the table, Li Feng took a few bottles of white wine and said, "Drink as much as you want. Brother Damao, drink less. We have to go to the countryside to show a movie soon. Safety comes first."

"Okay, I'll just order less."

He Yushui said, "Brother Gousheng, why is it all wine? Where are the drinks?"

"You still need me to serve you? You know where the soda is, just take it yourself, don't be polite with me, drink as much as you want."

Just then, the door opened and two people came in.

Li Feng took a look and found that it was Qin Huairu. He didn't know the other one, but it seemed to be her cousin Qin Jingru.

Qin Huairu entered the room and was startled when he said, "Oh, what day is today? It's so lively!"

"It seems that I came at a bad time. I will come another day."

He Yushui asked: "Sister Huairu, why are you here? Who is this?"

"I came here for a stroll and wanted to chat with you guys."

"By the way, this is my cousin, Qin Jingru, from my second uncle's family, the sixth child."

"Sister Huairu, sit down and have a bite. We'll talk after dinner."

"Thank you, I won't eat it. You guys eat quickly. I'll come back to play in two days."

Li Feng looked at his disciples, then at Qin Jingru with his eyes wide open, and said, "Since you are here, sit down and have a bite to eat."

"Well, then I'm not welcome."

Qin Jingru entered the room and smelled the fragrance. She could no longer hold back. When she heard that they were asked to sit down and eat something, she almost fainted from happiness. However, she was still very reserved and her eating manners did not look ugly.

Wang Yang handed Qin Jingru a bottle of soda and asked, "Cousin, where are you from?"

Qin Jingru took the soda and said thank you. She felt annoyed. What was the point of chatting if they didn't eat during meal time?

Oh my God, why is the cooking of city people so delicious? No, I must stay in the city, even if I have to be a maid, I will stay. This is simply a life like a god!
