Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Wang Bo directly stated his purpose.

Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu refused directly, "I am not free this afternoon. The uncle asked me to cook a few dishes for the old lady, and then the three of us and the Jia family will have dinner together in the evening."

Yu Shui, who was standing by, pouted when she heard this and said, "I don't want to have dinner with them."

Wang Bo was amused, and looked at Sha Zhu and said, "You, you can't even see things as clearly as a child."

Sha Zhu was eating, humming, "The uncle and aunt, and the old lady are very nice to me, what's wrong with having a meal together?"

"Okay, okay, you guys can eat together. But it's only noon now, there's no need to go so early. Help me stew the meat first."

"Don't go!"

At this time, Sha Zhu became angry and lowered his head, concentrating on eating.

"It's ready for you to bring a bowl of spare ribs, and you can add a dish to dinner."

"If you say you won't go, then don't go!"

"Hey, you're still excited!" Wang Bo saw Sha Zhu's foolishness and wanted to slap him a few times, "You won't eat without a cook? I'll cook for myself!"

Sha Zhu raised his head, looked at Wang Bo twice, and chuckled disdainfully.

Wang Bo was so angry at Sha Zhu's contemptuous expression that he shouted angrily, "I don't believe it. How difficult is it to cook a dish? I'll show you if I can make it!"

"You?" Sha Zhu looked down on Wang Bo. "I've never seen you cook. Your knives are all rusty. If you can make this meat delicious, I'll call you grandpa!"

"Hey, good grandson!"

Wang Bo responded, turned around and walked out, ignoring the shouting and cursing from Sha Zhu behind him, and loudly called out to Yu Shui to collect the money.

When Wang Bo got home, he was worried. He was used to buying food outside and had never cooked at home. Not only was the knife rusty, but even the iron pot had a hole in it.

Wang Bo simply gave it up and rode his tricycle to the store, where he bought pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, kitchen knives and cutting boards, various seasonings, onions, ginger, garlic and everything else needed for cooking. People who didn't know would have thought he was here to buy supplies.

When he returned home, Wang Bo looked at the various tools and seasonings at a loss, not knowing how to operate them at all. Before he traveled through time, he either studied or played all day long, and he didn't learn much knowledge in this area right after the college entrance examination.

He couldn't help but think in annoyance that if only he had a mobile phone and the Internet, he could learn how to cook just by watching videos on his phone.

In desperation, Wang Bo invited Aunt Chen, who also lived in the back house, to come over and help him stew the ribs and pork elbows.

Aunt Chen's family doesn't have a good life. Her husband passed away a long time ago, and she picked up an unwanted child a few years ago. Aunt Chen usually does some manual work on the street, and when the shops need temporary workers, they call her. She raises the child with this meager income.

Seeing Shi Tou standing at the door staring at the pot with his eyes fixed on it, Wang Bo smiled and touched his head. "Shi Tou, go home and get a bowl. Serve a bowl later and have it with your grandma tonight."

"Thank you uncle!"

Shitou jumped back home to get the bowl.

"Xiaobo, I'm just helping you cook a meal, but I can't take meat from you."

Aunt Chen, who was cleaning up, quickly turned around and was about to go out to stop Shi Tou from getting the bowl.

But she couldn't resist Wang Bo's strength, so Wang Bo still filled a large bowl and handed it to Shi Tou.

"Aunt Chen, it's already the fifteenth day of the eighth month. Give Shitou something good to eat."

When Aunt Chen saw Wang Bo stuffed all the ribs into Shi Tou’s arms, she could only thank Wang Bo.

After sending Aunt Chen and Shitou away, Wang Bo tasted the stewed spareribs and pork elbows. Although they were not as delicious as those made by Sha Zhu, they were also homely flavors, and Wang Bo felt very satisfied.

Wang Bo covered the pot and let it simmer over low heat, stewing the ribs and pork elbows for a while. He also picked three cucumbers from the small courtyard, washed them, and cut them into small pieces.

When Wang Bo was about to move the tables and chairs out, Sha Zhu pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, Sha Zhu asked in surprise: "Xiao Bo, are you stewing it? No, I was just joking with you at noon. Why are you in such a hurry? How can I not make it for you?"

"Pack."

Wang Bo looked at Sha Zhu with disdain, "The smell of stewed pork ribs is so strong that you can smell it from two miles away. You should have known that I was stewing it. Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Sha Zhu chuckled awkwardly and took out a large bowl from behind him. "Yu Shui smelled the ribs and wanted to eat some. I'll get some for her."

Wang Bo directly retorted: "If Yu Shui wants to eat it, just let her come and eat it. I will save it for her."

Hearing Wang Bo say this, Sha Zhu's face became even more embarrassed. He chuckled twice and said, "No need to bother. I've brought the bowl. Just give her a few pieces."

"Stop talking nonsense," Wang Bo looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Tell me, who told you to come here to ask for ribs?"

Seeing that Wang Bo had seen through him, Sha Zhu could only say embarrassedly, "Aren't the four of us going to have dinner together tonight? Bang Geng smelled the ribs and kept asking for them, so I came over to ask for some."

"I say, Silly Zhu, you know that I have conflicts with his family. If you want to eat bang gen, go buy it yourself. I told you last time that you can't eat for free from me. That's impossible."

Wang Bo didn't give Sha Zhu any face and spoke directly.

Hearing Wang Bo's direct refusal, Sha Zhu was a little unhappy and raised his voice, "Can't I buy some?"

"Not for sale, no matter how high or low!"

Wang Bo also started shouting.

Hearing Wang Bo's resoluteness, Sha Zhu was immediately furious and shouted, "Wang Bo, you kid, don't be so ungrateful!"

Wang Bo was so angry that he laughed. He sneered and said, "What? You still want to rob me? Why don't you try?"

After Wang Bo finished speaking, he stood directly in front of Sha Zhu.

Although he was a few years younger than Sha Zhu and much thinner than him, he stood there straight and looked at Sha Zhu coldly. His captivating aura made Sha Zhu dare not move forward even a bit.

Seeing Wang Bo like this, Sha Zhu had no choice but to give up and turned away unwillingly.

Wang Bo looked at Sha Zhu's leaving figure and wished he could kick him to the ground. He would have to find an opportunity to slap Sha Zhu a few times!

Sha Zhu didn't get the spare ribs, and returned to Yi Zhonghai's house with a gloomy face. When everyone saw him coming back with an empty bowl, they hurriedly asked him what happened.

Sha Zhu muttered that the ribs were only enough for Wang Bo to eat, and if he gave them to him, there would not be enough for himself, so he didn't give them to him.

The deaf old lady didn't say anything, but still smiled. She was very satisfied to be able to have dinner with her.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything and his expression didn't change. He understood that Wang Bo had a conflict with the Jia family, so it was normal for him not to give it.

But Jia Zhang and Bang Geng were not happy. Jia Zhang became displeased and started to curse Wang Bo, saying that Wang Bo didn't even give them some spare ribs to eat. He simply looked down on their Jia family. He was a worthless person and deserved it.

Banggeng first cried and shouted for spareribs, then followed Jia Zhangshi's example and scolded Wang Bo. Suddenly, he pointed at Shazhu and shouted, "Shazhu, you can't even get a sparerib, you are nothing!"
