Siheyuan: Cooking journey

But when she heard that she was going to marry a chef, she immediately shook her head. After all, when others talked about their husbands, they were all engineers, technicians, etc., but when it came to her, she could only say that she married a chef. How could she put her face down?

Later I heard that He Yuzhu was promoted to canteen director. I took a peek through the window and saw the man inside sipping tea quietly. He looked quite handsome.

Yu Haitang didn't plan to refuse this time, but unfortunately, the opportunity had been missed.

Not only did I miss the opportunity, but my ambition also unknowingly became much higher.

I have already rejected such a handsome man with a decent job, so how could other male compatriots be worthy of my attention? There is no comparison at all.

She is so proud, how could she be willing to compromise? Unless she finds someone with better conditions than He Yuzhu, wouldn't it seem that there is something wrong with her vision?

But where can I find this?

Yu Haitang was confused. According to this standard, she would be single forever.

In the courtyard, on the Qin family's side.

Tonight there is only cornmeal steamed buns.

Bang Geng lowered his head, looked unhappy, and refused to eat.

Qin Huairu had a stern face and neither said much nor tried to persuade him. If he didn't want to eat, then just let him starve.

After dinner, clean up.

Qin Huairu unconsciously walked to the window again and looked out at the yard.

She felt like she was tied up with heavy chains and trapped under this roof.

No matter how wonderful the world outside is, we can only look at it from afar and have no way of pursuing it.

"Bang Geng, come here..."

Granny Zhang glanced at her, took Banggeng's hand, and said in a low voice:

"Bang Geng, you see, Mother Chen has long forgotten you two.

"The kitchen has four white flour buns every day. Even if you give your father two, won't there be two left?

"Why didn't I see him today? He must have eaten it secretly. Don't you think your mother is too much?

“It’s not enough to have good food and drink in the canteen, we even have to eat our buns;

"Don't look at your mother eating steamed bread for dinner, pretending to be pitiful. She would never treat herself badly in the cafeteria. Have you forgotten the chickens, ducks, fish and meat that Sha Zhu sent to our family before? Your mother ate all kinds of good food there, but she never thought of bringing some back for you and your sister.

"Compared to this, your mother is even worse than Sha Zhu. She is very selfish and wants to leave you guys and find another man. You have to keep a close eye on her and don't give her any chance.

"..."

Banggeng stared at the figure in front of the window, his little hands clenched into fists, his eyes gloomy and resentful.

The days were dull and more than two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, the steel mill was quiet.

He Yuzhu strolled in the sweet potato field, enjoying the leisure time. During this period, the sweet potato vines have grown green and full of vitality.

After lunch, he often brought Ma Hua here to cut some sweet potato vines to feed the pigs. He knew farm work and knew which vines and leaves were redundant and would only waste nutrients and be detrimental to the growth of the sweet potatoes. Cutting them off was actually a good thing, as it would allow the sweet potatoes to grow more vigorously.

Occasionally, he would use sweet potato leaves as a dish, but this was only limited to the cafeteria, to change everyone's taste and add something fresh to breakfast or lunch.

It is mainly used to feed pigs. It is okay to pick some occasionally for tasting, but it is not enough for the entire steel mill to eat.

As he bent down, he pinched off a piece of sweet potato leaf, and the agricultural skills that had been dormant in his mind for a long time suddenly upgraded.

[Agriculture Skills (Maximum Level): Natural Perception, Physical Strength +1, Spirit +1]

【Spirit: 11 (10)】

[Stamina: 10 (10)]

【Charm: 9 (10)】

He Yuzhu was delighted and silently digested this sudden change.

【Natural perception: can perceive the real-time condition of crops. 】

There have been signs of this ability for a long time, so it's not surprising.

The good news is that there are two more attributes.

After thinking for a while, he closed the skill interface and continued picking sweet potato leaves.

In the evening, Lou Xiao'e mentioned that she wanted to visit her mother's home.

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, after marrying Lou Xiao'e, his mother-in-law and father-in-law rarely came over.

Considering that Lou Xiao'e hadn't seen her parents for so long, He Yuzhu had no reason to object.

As the new son-in-law's first visit to the family, it would be inappropriate to come empty-handed, but the Lou family has no shortage of ordinary things.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to pick some sweet potato leaves to take with him, which was better than going empty-handed.

He was busy when he heard some noise nearby, so he stopped and looked over.

Liu Guangfu, the third son of the Liu family, kicked a kid into the sweet potato field and said, "You little bastard, where can you run to..."

He Yuzhu frowned. How could an adult bully a child?

I really can't bear to watch this.

Halfway through the walk, he recognized the kid as Banggeng and couldn't help but give Liu Guangfu a bad review in his heart.

This kid is usually not likable, but he is just a child after all, and as an adult, I shouldn't use violence for no reason.

Now that I see Banggeng being humiliated, I feel relieved.

He Yuzhu didn't move forward, but just watched quietly.

There are a few other workers besides Liu Guangfu, so there shouldn't be any big trouble.

He understood that Banggeng was really caught this time.

The sweet potatoes will be ready for harvest in more than a month. They are already as big as fists and are particularly attractive. They are expected to be even bigger when harvested, thus attracting many children from the surrounding area to secretly roast them and eat them.

In those tight days, the sweet sweet potatoes were very tempting. These were grown by each workshop, and after the harvest, everyone shared them, and naturally no one was allowed to steal. The workers would come to inspect when they had nothing to do.

"You little bastard, I told you to run..."

After Liu Guangfu kicked Bang Geng down, he stepped forward and slapped him hard, "Little thing, aren't you arrogant enough? Show me how arrogant you are again."

"Guangfu, forget it, just teach him a lesson, don't really do it."

It was indeed too much for an adult to hit a child, and the workers nearby couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's okay. I know this kid well. He deserves a beating. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will come back to steal next time."

Just because he took a few steamed buns from Banggeng's house, Liu Guangfu was scolded and beaten by Liu Haizhong every day in the past two months. He had been holding a lot of anger in his heart, and he would not let go of the opportunity and slapped Banggeng again.

"You little bastard, if you come and steal sweet potatoes again, I'll break your legs!"

"You are the bastard, and so are your whole family!"

The five finger marks on Banggeng's face were clearly visible, and he glared at Liu Guangfu fiercely.

"How dare you talk back..."

Liu Guangfu was about to hit him again, but a worker beside him stopped him and advised, "Guangfu, stop it. If you hurt the child, his parents will come and make a scene at the factory, and we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"What are you afraid of? Even if that shameless Qin Huairu comes to us, we are still right. How can we take care of the children? They ran to the factory to steal sweet potatoes."

Liu Guangfu didn't care at all and walked forward to slap him again.

"You are shameless, your whole family..."

Even though he couldn't win, Banggeng's eyes were still vicious and he looked like he refused to admit defeat.

"Who doesn't know shame? Who in the steel mill doesn't know it?"

Liu Guangfu mocked, "Your mother Qin Huairu is the most shameless. She hooked up with the deputy factory director Lao Li and was transferred to the cafeteria. Your mother hooked up with someone, and you came to steal things. It's true that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door."

"You're talking nonsense, your mother is the one!"
