Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Have friends come from afar.

Lou Xiao'e was overjoyed and took out all kinds of delicious food and drinks to warmly entertain Brother Xiao Han.

Looking at the table full of delicious things, Han Li, a visitor from the future, couldn't help but secretly gasp in amazement. He felt a sense of disconnection and was a little confused: What year is it now? !

My goodness, the capital is in the north, and transportation is inconvenient nowadays. Many things here are only available in the south.

In addition, the Lou family also has many foreign trade products, such as refrigerators, cola, chocolate, etc. These things are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

All this is enough to prove that the power behind the Lou family is unimaginable.

It should be clear that the Chinese are currently fighting a war to establish their country on the 38th parallel and are subject to a comprehensive economic blockade, sanctions and embargo by America.

Han Li's sense of disconnection comes from the fact that this place and the outside world are completely two different worlds, as if there is a civilization gap of several decades.

When Han Li went to the garden house where the Lou family of three lived, he felt like he had gone from a remote village to a county town. He just felt it was new and his emotions were not very agitated.

But after coming here, Han Li felt like he had gone directly from a remote village to a first-tier city. He felt a strong shock both visually and emotionally.

"Brother Xiao Han, feel free to eat whatever you like. Don't be polite. I'm going to change my clothes first."

After Lou Xiao'e greeted everyone with a warm smile, she skipped away, and it was obvious that she was really happy.

Given the Lou family's background and social status, and the fact that Lou Xiao'e was born to a concubine, it was destined to be difficult for her to make close friends.

Because of the lack of friendship, she especially cherishes the friendship with brother Xiao Han. When she is happiest, she will definitely wear the most beautiful clothes.

Han Li ate lychees and looked at the furniture and appliances here curiously. He was shocked and came to a conclusion: the Lou family has hidden things very well!

He did not live in such a magnificent mansion, but chose to live in the more ordinary garden house. It is obvious that Boss Lou must have some concerns and did this on purpose.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully. Even Han Li, from the perspective of later generations, would be shocked. If people of this era saw these, the powerful impact would definitely be no less than Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden or a beggar entering the palace.

Han Li was not polite at all. He tried all the delicious food and drinks on the table. They were all delicious.

When Lou Xiao'e appeared again, she was wearing a gorgeous puffy skirt, and she was simply dazzling.

In the past, Silly Ezi was just like a little princess, but now she is completely one.

Han Li's eyes lit up and he praised her generously: "Wow, are you a fairy that fell from the sky? You are so beautiful!"

"Hehe." Lou Xiao'e laughed innocently, her eyes disappeared from laughing.

In comparison, Lou Xiao'e's gorgeous dress made Han Li's shabby clothes look like a beggar. The difference was too obvious.

However, Han Li did not feel inferior because of this, and Lou Xiao'e did not ridicule him, and the two of them still got along as usual.

"Brother Xiao Han, what else do you like to eat? I'll get it."

"Don't take any more. This is enough. Come and eat it. I'll teach you a little game."

From the conflict between the father and daughter of the Lou family, Han Li guessed that today was most likely Lou Xiao'e's birthday. If it wasn't a special day, the family would not have come to this mansion.

And since she was warmly received, Han Li would definitely make Silly Ezi happy.

"Okay, okay." Lou Xiao'e ran over excitedly, lifting up the hem of her skirt, because several of the little games that Brother Xiao Han taught her were very fun.

When Sha'ezi sat down and listened attentively, Han Li introduced with a smile: "This game is called Fruit Crush..."

A few minutes later, the room began to echo with Lou Xiao'e's jubilant cheers;

"Brother Xiao Han, this fruit elimination game is so much fun!"

"Yeah! I won again!"

……

downstairs.

"Listen, how happy Ezi is after being with Xiao Han!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled happily and said firmly: "Han Li is a man of great fortune. Promising Ezi to him will be of great benefit to Ezi and our family!"

Tan Xiaoli nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a while, she reminded him, "Hubby, Ezi is still too young now, keep it a secret from her first, and wait a few years before telling her."

"That's what I was planning too." Lou Bancheng smiled and said seriously, "Prepare tonight to the highest standards. Our precious daughter's 12th birthday party can't be too shabby!"

Tan Xiaoli was a little confused and asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid of scaring Xiao Han?"

Boss Lou curled his lips and smiled: "This is exactly the effect I want! Become my son-in-law, Lou Bancheng, and your career will be very successful in no time!"

upstairs.

After a round of the real version of Fruit Crush, Lou Xiaoe suddenly remembered that she had to treat Brother Xiao Han well, and immediately said happily: "Brother Xiao Han, come with me!"

Then, a thought suddenly occurred to Han, who was following Lou Xiao'e: Why does this scene look like a beautiful and kind-hearted little princess picking up a beggar?

It is true that one should respect the clothes first and then the person, respect the body first and then the soul!

Not long after, Han Li was taken to a house by Lou Xiao'e, and he was shocked again;

The room is about 30 square meters, and it is filled with all kinds of exquisitely crafted handicrafts; there are colorful lanterns, lifelike wood carvings, beautiful dolls, music boxes...

Han Li was dazzled by what he saw, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that toy rooms and cloakrooms in later generations already existed at this time!"

After the two stayed in the toy room for a while, Lou Xiao'e brought brother Xiao Han to the piano room.

After listening to Lou Xiao'e demonstrate several musical instruments, Han Li couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao'e, you are amazing! You can actually play so many instruments!"

At this moment, Tan Xiaoli came and greeted them with a smile: "Ezi, Xiaohan, you two go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Han Li called out "Aunt Tan" and found that Tan Xiaoli had also changed into a luxurious cheongsam, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

Han also praised: "Aunt Tan, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, like a fairy descending from the earth. You and Xiao'e standing together, you are the big fairy and the little fairy!"

Tan Xiaoli was obviously in a good mood because of the compliment. She felt that what her husband said was absolutely right. This little Han was getting better and better at speaking. His future achievements would only be great. It would be a good idea to promise her daughter to him.

Ten minutes later, when Han Li washed his hands and appeared in the restaurant on the first floor, he was once again subjected to a strong visual shock.

The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea. Han Li couldn't recognize many of the dishes at first. The most eye-catching ones were the lobster, crab, and fish. Every dish looked great, which greatly increased people's appetite.

After taking another closer look, Han Li's eyes widened unconsciously. If he was not mistaken, the one that looked like a bear paw should be the braised bear paw! ?

After everyone was seated, Lou Bancheng, as the head of the family, raised two glasses of wine, one to congratulate his daughter on her 12th birthday and the other to welcome Han Li.

Then, Lou Zhenhua said with a smile: "Ezi, as the birthday girl today, you should introduce this table of dishes to your brother Han Li."

"Okay!" Lou Xiao'e stood up with a cheerful smile, pointed at a dish and began to introduce it: "Brother Xiao Han, this main dish is braised bear paw. This is stewed flying dragon with mushrooms..."

The more Han Li listened, the more frightened he became. Many of the dishes on this table would be protected animals in future generations.

Take the flying dragon stewed with mushrooms for example; there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat underground. The dragon meat refers to this flying dragon, whose scientific name is Hazel Grouse, commonly known as Grouse. The mushroom is not the shiitake mushroom commonly seen in later generations, but hazel mushroom.

What does it mean that poverty limits imagination?

Han Li: Here, this is it!
