Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Coffee continent?

The Liu father and son looked confused.

Where is this?

.......

Busy with training at the instant noodle factory,

He Yuzhu goes out early and comes back late.

Qin Huairu studies with Ran Qiuye every day.

He Yuzhu did not ask or interfere in this matter.

As for Qin Jingru, it doesn’t matter if she is willing to learn or not.

At dinner time, Yu Shui and Song Yunping were there sitting around the table.

Before, Nian Qiu didn’t smile much, but maybe it was because of Song Yunping’s arrival that the smile returned to her face.

This made He Yuzhu even happier.

At night, when we rest,

Nianqiu always likes to visit Yushui.

The couple lived in harmony and no one disturbed them.

The sun rose and set, and four days passed.

The instant noodles production line has finally been installed.

He Yuzhu personally took charge of the adjustments.

The first batch of trial-produced instant noodles was a success.

He tried it himself and thought it was quite good.

After get off work,

He even brought some home.

I had this instant noodles for dinner.

Each person has a bowl, add two pieces of noodles and seasoning, pour in boiling water and soak for three minutes, and the noodles are ready to eat.

He Yuzhu has always believed that soaking noodles in boiling water is the soul of instant noodles, and three minutes is just right.

If you cook it in a pot, the flavor will be gone.

On the table,

A bowl was placed in front of each person.

He Yuzhu helped them pour boiling water one by one.

As the seasoning and sauce packets were opened, the aroma immediately filled the entire living room.

"Cover it like this and you can eat it in three minutes."

He Yuzhu opened a pack of instant noodles and demonstrated to everyone.

Others followed suit.

He Nianqiu tapped her bowl gently with chopsticks, feeling both anticipation and a special kind of happiness. "I'm so happy to see Aunt Yunping, and I have instant noodles to eat, it's great!"

"Nian Qiu, stop knocking, this is against the rules."

Ran Qiuye looked at her and gently touched her little head.

It was rare for her daughter to smile so happily, so she was reluctant to say anything harsh.

"Okay~"

He Nianqiu nodded, looking very well-behaved, and then leaned his head on Song Yunping.

recently,

Song Yunping has become accustomed to Nian Qiu's closeness. Her face is faintly blushed, making her look even warmer under the light.

This made Ran Qiuye feel sad.

Nian Qiu's intimacy with her was far less natural than that with Song Yunping.

Who is her real mother?

Why does it feel like Song Yunping is more like a relative?

the other side,

Qin Huairu was carefully reading the words on the instant noodle bag.

She has studied very hard these days and has already recognized all these words.

After reading it, she pushed He Yushui and said doubtfully:

"Yushui, why is this brand called Kangshuafu? Who came up with the name? It sounds weird. Does it have any special meaning?"

He Yushui couldn't help but give her a blank look.

"There's no special meaning to it."

Looking at He Yuzhu, He Yushui complained, "It's not the name my brother gave me."

"Nian Qiu and I both think that Master He sounds better. He insisted on using such a weird name. It's really a headache."

He Yuzhu just looked at his watch calmly, as if he heard nothing.

When Qin Huairu's eyes fell on him, she thought that this name was quite good.

quickly,

It's time to lift the lid.

He Yuzhu reminded: "Okay, you can eat now."

When the flour bag was opened, hot steam rose up and a richer aroma spread, causing everyone to start saliva.

He Nianqiu picked up the chopsticks and stirred it a few times, then picked up a piece and blew on it. After taking a bite, he nodded with satisfaction.

Haven't had it in years, but it's still delicious.

He Nianqiu's smile seemed to bend into two crescent shapes.

Others enjoyed the food as well.

It's not just because it's novel; this convenient food tastes really good. You'll want to eat it again, and a sip of the soup will confirm this.

Almost everyone can resist this simple and delicious food.

"How much is this per pack? Can I buy a few?"

While eating noodles, Song Yunping was thinking about her parents and younger brother, and wanted to buy some for them and send it back.

These days, He Yuzhu occasionally cooks, and the meals he makes are so delicious that they are unforgettable.

I really want my family to taste this delicacy, but I can't do it.

Although this instant noodles is not as good as the rice he cooks, it still tastes great and can be shared with family.

“Price is not an issue.”

He Yushui took a chopstick of noodles and explained, "My brother said that this instant noodles is mainly produced to earn foreign exchange and will not be sold domestically for the time being."

"Oh, I see……"

Song Yunping subconsciously glanced at He Yuzhu, her face turned red, and she lowered her head with a bit of disappointment.

He Yushui noticed her expression, smiled and said, "My brother brought back a lot. I'll give you some later and you can send it back home." They both lived in the same dormitory. He Yushui was well aware of Song Yunping's habit of living frugally. She would save some money from every meal to subsidize her family.

"No need, rainwater, really no need..."

Song Yunping waved her hands hurriedly, her face turned even redder, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Knowing that she was embarrassed to accept the gift directly, He Yushui thought about it and said with a smile: "How about this, I'll deduct 50 cents per bag from your salary as if you bought it?"

When she heard the price, Song Yunping's eyes widened and she found it hard to accept.

Just think about it, normally one steamed bun costs two taels of food coupons plus five cents, but now this pack of instant noodles can actually be exchanged for ten steamed buns!

"Um... I, I want three packs..."

Song Yunping lowered her head shyly. She originally wanted to order a few more packs, but they were too expensive.

“Yushui, when you say you want to sell foreign exchange, do you mean to sell it to foreigners?”

Qin Huairu, who had been concerned about this issue, interrupted and asked.

"How much does it cost to sell a pack to foreigners? Is it also 50 cents?"

"Different."

He Yushui shook his head, frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother, what was the price you mentioned last time? I can't remember, was it five yuan a bag?"

After getting her brother's affirmative nod, Song Yunping's hands began to tremble a little, and she lowered her head to eat even more.

A pack of noodles is worth so much! It’s almost enough to eat steamed buns for a whole month!

Qin Huairu was also stunned when she heard this, but she soon smiled.

This seemingly stingy man did something so extraordinary that she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

In her excitement, she even suddenly wanted to eat the noodles he made himself.

After eating the noodles, Qin Huairu didn't plan to stay for long.

The two had agreed before to reduce contact as much as possible and not disturb each other at least in the short term.

If you stay too long, you might lose control of yourself, which may end up making the relationship more distant.

Compared with short-term happiness, Qin Huairu values ​​long-term benefits more.

"Sister Qin, please wait a moment..."

Seeing Qin Huairu was about to leave, Ran Qiuye quickly handed over a few packets of instant noodles: "This is quite a rare thing, you can give it to Xiaodang and Huaihua to try."

"Thank you."

Qin Huairu accepted this gift with a smile and did not refuse it - after all, it came from the hands of her beloved.

When I got home, I saw Xiaodang and Huaihua concentrating on reviewing their homework.

Qin Jingru held her chin up and looked out the window, but she looked a little dazed and listless. Qin Huairu looked at the children and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I'm done eating. My aunt made the meal."

When Xiaodang saw what she was holding in her arms, he hurried over.

"Mom, what is this? Is it instant noodles? Has the new factory started production?"

Originally, Xiaodang planned to go to the new factory.

Later, considering that I had to review for the university entrance exam, and that the place was too far away and inconvenient for commuting to get off work, I didn't go.

But I have always been particularly curious about the instant noodles produced by the new factory.

“What is instant noodles?”

Huaihua also came over curiously, "Mom, how do I eat this? Is it delicious?"

“You can eat it dry or soak it in water.”

Qin Huairu gave a brief explanation and Xiaodang and Huaihua immediately ran to make instant noodles.

Qin Jingru looked at them, walked up to Qin Huairu and whispered:

"Sister, He Yuzhu hasn't been to the steel plant for several days;"

"I didn't go to study either. Do you think he's mad at me and is ignoring me?"

How could he really care about you?

Qin Huairu looked at her gently, like a caring sister: "He is your partner, how could he ignore you just because you are angry;"

"He's not going to the steel mill because he's too busy at the new factory. After a while, he'll naturally return to his old place of work. Don't overthink it. There's no such thing as overnight resentment in relationships. Even if they're not husband and wife, their relationship is almost the same."

"You've heard a saying, people at home are not as good as new people outside. Men are like this, they will think about it as soon as there is a little opportunity."

"You haven't seen him these few days. Do you miss him a lot?"

"Let's just do this,"

"After work tomorrow, let's go to Ran Qiuye to study together. I'll help you find an excuse to chat with Ran Qiuye more. Just be bold and take the initiative. It's all fine."

"Ah, this... is not good..."

Qin Jingru blushed and lowered her head, feeling shy and nervous.

This attitude is not a rejection!

Qin Huairu's eyes turned, her tone became gentler, and she comforted him,

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you find an opportunity to get along with him. You have to seize the opportunity and know how to show yourself."

the next morning.

He Yuzhu is going to work.

They happened to meet He Yushui and Song Yunping going out, so they started traveling together.

I didn't meet any familiar people along the way.

He Yushui glanced at He Yuzhu and whispered a suggestion.

"Brother, can you please pay attention at night? The wall is always making a lot of noise."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly but pretended not to hear clearly, thinking about strengthening the bed after get off work.

I don't know what this broken bed hit the wall with.

Although He Yushui's voice was very soft, Song Yunping heard it clearly and her face turned red.

This has happened several times since she moved into the courtyard house. At first she didn't know what the sound was, but gradually she understood what was going on.

From then on, I felt embarrassed to look at He Yuzhu again.

This kind of talk was not appropriate for my sister to bring up, but she really felt it had a huge impact.

Unable to suppress his inner embarrassment, He Yushui stopped talking about the incident and changed the subject.

"You mentioned that there are new plans for the steel mill. When will it start?"

"It should be soon, maybe starting next year."

As they were talking, they walked to the gate of the steel mill.

I met Haitang entering the factory.

He Yushui and Song Yunping rushed to attend the morning meeting.

He Yuzhu walked straight to the parking lot.

The new factory is located quite far from the city.

Who would be stupid enough to ride a bicycle when you have a car?

In fact, those cars were foreign-invested cars introduced from Hong Kong by Lao Guo and did not belong to the steel rolling mill company.

There are three ordinary-model Mercedes-Benz cars in total, which look quite new.

Yu Li had one, Lou Xiao'e had one, and the remaining one belonged to He Yuzhu himself.
