Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chicken, duck, fish and other things are made with cornmeal.

But it looks exactly like the real thing, making it hard to tell the real from the fake.

Of course, I'm talking about the appearance, the taste is different.

I don't know what secret seasoning was added, but the corn steamed bread didn't taste bad, and it was quite fragrant. However, He Yushui couldn't help but complain:

"Are you really my brother? You used to send so many chickens, ducks, fish and meat to Sister Qin's family, but now you don't even give a bite to your own sister. You are too stingy!"

This silly sister can say such sour words.

He Yuzhu was quite surprised, not because of anything else, but simply because he was surprised.

This silly sister has been "brainwashed" by Qin Huairu a long time ago. She is completely devoted to Qin Huairu and cannot be pulled back.

After all, she will get married in the future and leave this courtyard. Even if she feels that Qin Huairu is good now, after they separate and have their own children and family, the feelings will naturally fade.

Therefore, there is no need to go to the trouble of correcting her. The key is that she won't believe it, so just let it go.

"Can you compare with your sister Qin? You are far inferior in every way. From now on, I will give her chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, and I won't give them to you.

"Look, your sister Qin still cares about me. What's the point of eating it for you? You are an ungrateful little white-eyed wolf. You eat my food and use my things, but you don't appreciate my kindness at all in your heart. You can't even say a nice word. Third uncle introduced me to a girl, your classmate Yu Haitang, but you ruined it. You are really heartless."

I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well stir up some trouble. Maybe it will help.

"Where can I have it?"

He Yushui felt guilty and said weakly, "I didn't mess up the introduction on purpose. I just made a suggestion. Yu Haitang is not suitable for you. If you really think she is good, I will introduce her to you."

"That's more like it, but never mind. No need for that."

He Yuzhu waved his hands, saying that he already had a girlfriend and couldn't do something like having two girlfriends at the same time.

"Brother, don't be like this. I really want to do this for your own good. I get worried when I think about how you're already 24 and still haven't found a wife."

He Yushui said with a worried look on her face: "Yu Haitang, aside from being a little arrogant, there's nothing special about her. She's just an ordinary person, but she's a woman after all, and she can give birth to children, right? If you're really interested, as your sister, I'll definitely support you and help you make connections."

"Let's just forget it." He Yuzhu complained, "You're almost saying something bad about them. You call this matchmaking? It's clearly smearing."

"Hehe, it's you who didn't want to do it. As your younger sister, I've done my best."

He Yushui smiled and said expectantly:

"Brother, let me discuss something with you. An old man gave me a bicycle ticket. Can you lend me some money so I can buy a bicycle to go to get off work? Don't worry, I'm getting paid now, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Think beautifully.

He Yuzhu glanced at her dimly, took out a bicycle ticket, and said while complaining:

"If I had the money, I would have bought it myself a long time ago."

"How come you also have a bicycle ticket?" He Yushui was a little confused.

"Why can't I have it?"

He Yuzhu said unhappily.

The steel rolling mill can get two or three bicycle tickets every year. Who they are given to depends entirely on the words of the factory director. Of course, it cannot be too much. An eighth-level worker like the old man is qualified. As the number one chef of the steel rolling mill, he is also qualified.

But if we give it to Qin Huairu, it would be too much. The workers would be dissatisfied and make trouble.

As for the one in his hand, he just drew it for fun because he was bored.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask this anymore."

He Yushui asked in confusion: "How come you have no money? Where is your money? It's several hundred yuan."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, sighed and said, "If my house was robbed, didn't you see that I lock the door when I go out? I bought a lock specially for this."

"Stolen?"

He Yushui was shocked and anxious: "Have you called the police?"

"Calling the police would only cause chaos in this yard, and everyone would be a suspect."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said seriously, "Who in the yard will tolerate me by then? Now I feel like everyone in the yard is a thief, and I don't like them."

"You mean, the thief is in our yard?" He Yushui asked with a frown.

"That's pretty much it."

He Yuzhu said with certainty: "In this yard, except for your sister Qin, who is a good person, and the deaf old lady, I suspect everyone else."

He Yushui frowned and fell into deep thought.

He Yuzhu glanced at her, looking relaxed and contented.

The hints have been so obvious, and they suddenly stopped contacting each other two months ago. If this silly sister still can't associate anything with it, then there's really no hope.

Of course, the story of losing money was made up. The purpose was to make her suspicious of Qin Huairu's family and stop her from being so foolish as to give them warmth.

"It might have been stolen by someone outside. We have had this yard for decades and nothing has ever been stolen."

He Yushui thought about it and said seriously: "The thief is definitely not from our yard."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

He Yuzhu did not refute. He suspected that it was something that could be planted.

"No matter who stole it, the money is gone."

“I’m also thinking about commuting by bike.”

He Yushui said depressedly: "It seems there is no hope now."

"It's a good idea. Let's buy it together."

He Yuzhu said generously: "Leave the bicycle ticket with me first. I will save the rest of your salary except for living expenses for you. In this way, the two of us can buy a bicycle in two or three months. When the time comes, I will buy it first, and then I will buy it for you."

"Why can't you buy it for me first?" He Yushui was very unhappy.

"You're stupid. I don't ride a bike to work. I bought it first, so you can ride it. You just don't have to ride it when you need it."

He Yuzhu tried hard to deceive her, but he didn't feel that way because he didn't have a girlfriend before.

Now that I have one, I really want to have a bicycle so I can take my girlfriend around.

There’s a saying that goes, I’d rather cry in a broken car than laugh on a bicycle.

But now, the girl can sit on the back of the bicycle and laugh, how happy she is.

All it takes to make your girlfriend happy is a bicycle ticket.

As for that painting, it cannot be used at all. They all have numbers and need to be registered. You can check them easily. Using them will only cause trouble.

"OK then."

He Yushui thought about it and agreed.

The steel mill is so close that there is really no need to ride a bike, so I just handed in my bicycle ticket.

He Yuzhu took the ticket with a smile and started thinking about where to take Ran Qiuye to play on his bike tomorrow.

You know what, having a silly sister who is easy to deceive can sometimes be quite useful.
