Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Lou family.

It was dinner time and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including fish and meat.

Lou Xiao'e picked up her chopsticks and poked around in her bowl, but she had no appetite at all. In her opinion, these big fish and meat were not as tempting as the vegetables in the cafeteria.

Mother Lou glanced at her, then looked at Father Lou and asked:

"Have you found any result on the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

"What's going on?"

Father Lou took a sip of his wine and was a little confused by the question.

"What else could it be?"

Mother Lou glared at him and said in a displeased tone, "How is Xiao'e's marriage going? I asked you to ask Master He about it."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. What kind of marriage is this?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted and said unhappily:

"She hasn't agreed, and I don't know what kind of person she is. There are no arranged marriages these days. I don't want to get married. I just want to stay at home with you and dad."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When a girl grows up, she has to get married."

Mother Lou smiled and said gently:

"Master He is a really nice guy. I remember you said last time that a chef will never go hungry. If you marry him, not only will you not go hungry, but you will also be able to eat delicious meals every day. You are not unaware of Master He's cooking skills.

“If you eat well, your parents will also benefit from it;

"What worries me most is that, in the current situation, Master He is a worker. If you marry him, our family will be distant. Your sisters have arranged it this way. If anything happens in the future, it won't be your fault. You can just live your life peacefully.

"Listen to me, how can I harm you?"

"mom……"

Lou Xiao'e pouted. Although she thought that life was indeed beautiful with delicious food every day, she didn't know what kind of person the other person was, so she was still a little unwilling. Especially since her mother had praised the projectionist last time, but he ended up getting into a fight and going to jail, she felt that he was unreliable.

"Why, do you want mom to send you to the commune to farm?"

Mother Lou’s face darkened.

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips in grievance and lowered her head to continue fiddling with the food in the bowl.

I didn't say I wouldn't marry you, why do you have to be so harsh?

"Ahem, I think you worry too much."

Father Lou cleared his throat and said, "Our family is also well-known. Even if I marry a worker, I have to find a decent one. Although Master He is good..."

"Stop talking so much, tell me what you found out!"

Mother Lou rolled her eyes at him.

"Uh……"

Father Lou straightened his back guiltily and sighed helplessly, "Why are you so anxious?

"I was just saying that, I have inquired about Master He, and he is indeed a good person;

"His full name is He Yuzhu, and he has a younger sister named He Yushui, who has no parents. If Xiao'e marries him, she won't have to worry about conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"I asked Director Yang to introduce Master He to me, and I met him. He is handsome, very good, and a very energetic young man.

"I also found out that Master He is a seventh-level cook, earning 43 yuan a month, which is not much, but enough to support Xiao'e.

“There is also a place to live, it is a courtyard house with a separate room;

“There are many other aspects, so I won’t go into detail. In short, everything is good.

“But the only downside is that he’s already married and has kids who are old enough to help with cooking;

"It's a pity that the law only allows monogamy, otherwise it would be nice to let Xiao'e go over and be his mistress."

"..."

Mother Lou wanted to pinch him.

You're already married and still say so much, praising her like a flower.

"..."

Lou Xiao'e smiled secretly.

Somehow, she felt a little lost again.

It’s not for any other reason, Master He is not suitable. My mother will definitely continue to help her find someone else. She will get married sooner or later.

I don’t know what the other people look like, and they are all strangers.

Thinking about marrying such a man, Lou Xiao'e felt confused and felt that she was no better than Master He.

At least I have met Master He. He is a good-looking man and pleasing to the eye.

The key is that the food is so delicious. When you compare it to that, it’s actually not bad.

Unfortunately, she is already married and there is no way I can get her married.

"..."

Looking at the reactions of the mother and daughter, Father Lou took a sip of his wine proudly.

He did not lie and really went to find Director Yang to inquire about He Yuzhu's situation.

Director Yang also said that He Yuzhu already has a partner.

At that time, he pretended to express regret and said that he wanted to marry his daughter to He Yuzhu, but it seemed that they were not destined to be together.

Director Yang even joked that she could marry him and become his mistress.

Of course, I rolled my eyes at him.

Most of the information about He Yuzhu is true, except for the fact that he has a partner. In order to make it more convincing, this was changed to say that he is married and has children who can help with the family.

The effect is immediate.

Are you kidding? How could the daughter of the Lou family marry a cook?

"What are you so proud of? Are you hiding something?"

Mother Lou glanced at him suspiciously and snorted, "I'm telling you, next time I go to the cafeteria, I'll personally check with Director Yang to verify. If you lie, you'll be in trouble."

"Uh……"

I forgot that there was a smart guy at home, and I missed this.

Father Lou broke out in a cold sweat, but then he thought again and realized that he was telling the truth, so he was not afraid anymore.

It’s not fake that He Yuzhu has a girlfriend. Maybe next time you go to the cafeteria, she will really be married.

Even if I knew, what could I do?

Thinking of this, Father Lou immediately calmed down, put on a stern face, and said seriously:

"How can I be that kind of person when it comes to my daughter's lifelong event? I can swear to heaven that every word I say is true. If there is even a single lie, I will not give birth to a son..."

Don't panic. You're at this age now and you can't have children even if you want to.

"What do you mean, Lou?"

Mother Lou slammed the table, her face as cold as frost, "Are you dissatisfied with me for not giving you a son? Do you want a divorce or a concubine? Tell me clearly!"

"..."

This time, Father Lou was really scared and broke into a cold sweat, and he wanted to slap himself twice.

It’s really hard to pick up any pot!

"Um, Aunt Wu, hurry up and get two washboards from the bedroom..."

Don't stop me, I'm willing to kneel down twice.
