Siheyuan: Cooking journey

In the private room.

The dishes were cleared out and every plate was spotless.

"It's so uncomfortable..."

Lou Xiao'e pouted, looking unhappy.

Director Lou felt strange and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ignore her."

Mother Lou knew her daughter best. She glanced at her and said with a smile, "You must be thinking about what to do for the next meal."

"Uh-huh."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement and looked at Director Lou pitifully.

"Dad, can't you think of a way to invite Master He to our house? I want to eat his cooking every meal, it's so delicious."

"Well..."

Director Lou showed embarrassment on his face. It was difficult to invite someone to cook a meal, let alone hire a full-time chef. This was just asking too much.

"Don't give your father a hard time. Director Yang thinks highly of Master He. It's nice for us to come to the cafeteria to eat occasionally."

Mother Lou looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile and said jokingly, "If you really want to eat it every meal, then just marry Master He."

"Mom...what are you talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e drew out her voice, her face slightly flushed.

I couldn't help but think of the scene I saw on the street last time.

The man was tall, had a decent appearance and was not unpleasant.

The cooking is so delicious, it seems like it would be a good idea to marry someone like this.

"Don't joke like that with kids."

Director Lou said dissatisfiedly: "Master He is already in his 50s or 60s, how can he say that?"

"Who said fifty or sixty?"

Mother Lou glared at him and snorted, "The last time I went shopping with Xiao'e, I met Master He. He looked like he was in his twenties, not as old as you said."

"So young?" Director Lou didn't believe it. "With such good cooking skills, he must have practiced for decades. Master He can't be young. You haven't seen Master He before. Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"We haven't met before. Aunt Wu recognized Master He."

Mother Lou snorted, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Don't mention it, it would be nice if Xiao'e could marry this Master He."

"No, how can Xiao'e marry a chef?"

Director Lou frowned and said, "That's a job for serving others. It's not suitable for our Xiao'e at all."

"Lou, what do you mean?"

Mother Lou slammed the table and glared at him with a cold face.

"oops……"

He forgot that his wife also came from a family of cooks.

Director Lou quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I don't look down on him. I just think that the movie projectionist you mentioned last time is good and a good match for Xiao'e. The projectionist profession is good, a skilled job with high salary. Xiao'e will definitely not suffer if she marries him.

"I remember meeting that young man once. He was handsome and a nice guy. I've also met his father a few times. He's an honest and friendly man. His family education is good, so the young man's character must be good. In the future, Xiao'e will definitely not suffer any grievances..."

He was still talking big. Lou Xiao'e was speechless and couldn't listen any more. She reminded him quietly, "Dad, that man was in jail for fighting."

If that incident hadn't happened, I would have almost married him.

"Oh..." Director Lou was stunned.

"Humph, your father is just a blockhead. He has never had a good eye for people."

Mother Lou snorted unhappily.

"..."

Director Lou felt so upset that he didn't want to talk anymore.

At that time, it was clearly you who kept saying how great that young man was and insisted that Xiao'e marry him, and I was against it.

Now it seems like there's something wrong with my vision.

Besides, if my vision is really problematic, doesn’t that mean you’re not that good either?

This statement itself is contradictory.

Of course, I just thought about it in my mind and didn't say it out loud.

"You can only judge a person by his appearance, but not by his heart. I have misjudged that boy. Our Xiao'e must never marry that kind of person."

Director Lou defended himself righteously, and then said in a negotiating tone:

"Although this chef He is not bad, his cooking skills are so great and his conditions are so good, he might have already married and started a family. Forget it."

"What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"

Mother Lou had a stern face.

Director Lou said seriously, "What I mean is, ask Director Yang about Master He's situation."

No matter what Director Yang says, they are married now and have children who are old enough to take care of the household.

……

The cafeteria is particularly quiet today.

Apart from the table arranged by Director Yang, there was nothing else to do.

He Yuzhu was drinking tea leisurely. It was almost time to get off work and he was looking forward to his date with Ran Qiuye, but Director Yang came to find him and said he needed to go out.

"At this time?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, "I have something to do after get off work, and I have an appointment with someone else, how about tomorrow?"

"Can you find a way to push it?"

Director Yang said in embarrassment: "You know, he is very stubborn and hates to bother others. He hasn't contacted you for more than half a month. If there is no problem, my sister-in-law would not take the initiative to invite you over again."

But it was a date.

It’s all settled.

The most important thing is that I don’t have a mobile phone or a phone call, so I don’t know how to notify Ran Qiuye.

What if I don’t go and she keeps waiting for me at the station?

He Yuzhu rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment, thought about it, came up with a stupid idea, and nodded.

"Ok."

Not greedy for anything.

I just want to do my job as a chef and make simple dishes more delicious.

In an age like this, what is there to be greedy for? It will only bring trouble to yourself.

The car starts.

He Yuzhu directed Director Yang to drive the car to the bus stop, and after getting off the bus, he pasted a piece of paper on the bus stop pillar.

"I have something to do. I can't come today. See you tomorrow, He."

It's so conspicuous, you should be able to see it.

He Yuzhu checked from all angles and was relieved after confirming that he could see it at a glance.

He also thought about going directly to Ran Qiuye's house to tell her, but it would be impolite to visit her rashly.

So I came up with this stupid idea.

Back in the car, Director Yang glanced at him and asked curiously:

"You are so concerned, are you in love?"

"Ah."

He Yuzhu nodded and did not hide anything.

"Good boy, it's true."

Director Yang smiled and said, "I thought you were old enough and wanted to introduce you to someone, but I didn't expect you to be dating someone quietly. Who introduced you to someone?"

"We met in the library."

"Sure, it's still free love..."

Director Yang asked a few more questions jokingly, and He Yuzhu answered simply without saying much, and soon the car arrived at the destination.
