Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

That's Lou Xiao'e.

Although Lou Xiao'e was still young at this time, her appearance had already begun to take shape.

"Want me to help you?"

"You don't look much older."

"How come you can cook at such a young age?"

“Your cooking skills are really great.”

"I found out last time at Cuihua Building."

Lou Xiao'e came in and said, as if she was very familiar with him.

In terms of dress, Lou Xiao'e looks like a rich girl.

The novel describes that after Lou Xiao'e married Xu Damao, she no longer had this temperament.

According to the original book, if Lou Xiao'e had not given birth to a child for him, He Yuzhu might have been childless.

But... this is the former He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu is now determined to take control of his own destiny and does not want to be overly involved with Lou Xiaoe anymore, because their relationship is destined to be an unfortunate one.

"Lou**."

"If you have nothing to do, get out!"

"Just wait for dinner."

There was always arrogance and dominance in Lou Xiao'e's words.

"Then can't I just watch from here?"

“I still can’t cook.”

"If it's Sichuan cuisine, I'm interested in it. Can you teach me?" He Yuzhu responded indifferently.

"No."

After being rejected, Lou Xiao'e's face suddenly turned ugly, and she still had that arrogant attitude: "Why are you so proud?"

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e walked out without looking back.

Although their first conversation was not very pleasant, Lou Xiao'e still had a good impression of He Yuzhu. She did not expect that someone with such great cooking skills was about the same age as her. Although she had a good impression of him, she always felt that He Yuzhu's face was always gloomy, as if everyone owed him something.

Although Lou Xiao'e wanted to get closer to He Yuzhu, she didn't step into the kitchen because of her face-saving nature. She could only return to the living room in a depressed mood.

Soon, after He Yuzhu finished cooking, Lou Zhenhua and others sat around the table. As usual, after completing the task, the chef should call it a day and leave. But this time, Lou Zhenhua insisted on keeping He Yuzhu to eat together, and asked He Yuzhu to finish eating before leaving.

Out of courtesy to the host's hospitality, He Yuzhu sat down.

There were not many people at the table: only Lou Zhenhua's family of three and a middle-aged man who seemed to have the skill of appreciating treasures.

The man called Mr. Zhao came to appraise the treasure at the invitation of Lou Zhenhua.

Lou Zhenhua, who loves treasure hunting, often lingers in places such as Panjiayuan. The items he buys every time are precious and rare, and the amount he spends is so large that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The dishes on the table won Mr. Zhao's praise.

"The little guy's cooking skills are really good!"

"Really extraordinary!"

"This is the talent I found in Cuihua Building!"

Hearing these words of praise, He Yuzhu knew that they were sincere compliments. In addition, he also felt that the gazes from the opposite side came from Lou Xiaoe, and her expression was complex and changeable.

……

During the banquet, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Lou Zhenhua called He Yuzhu aside and stuffed him a note of 800,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money in this day and age. Even with Jia Dongxu's salary, this amount exceeded his total income for more than two months.

It’s great to see such a generous gift.

"It's too much."

He Yuzhu intended to return the money to Lou Zhenhua, but was forcefully pushed back by the other party.

"Since it's given to you, you deserve it."

"If it weren't for the dishes you cooked at Cuihualou last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to close those deals."

"This time it's considered as two payments."

He Yuzhu remained silent and tacitly agreed to accept the money.

"He Yuzhu."

"Would you be interested in being my chef?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he quickly shook his head and refused.

He knew that although Lou Zhenhua was in his prime now, he might get into trouble in the future and encounter several hardships. If he had too deep a relationship with Lou Zhenhua, he might also be affected in the future.

Seeing this, Lou Zhenhua didn't say anything more.

"Okay! Then when you are free, can you come over and cook a meal for our family?"

He Yuzhu nodded helplessly.

He had already received 800,000 yuan from Lou Zhenhua, so he naturally couldn't refuse. And this was also the way rich people did it - give some benefits first, and then talk about things.

"Okay, no problem."

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua smiled and nodded. "Very good, if you need my help in the future, just come to me."

He Yuzhu suddenly thought that the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill might be able to deal with that annoying old guy Yi Zhonghai.

After saying a brief goodbye to Lou Zhenhua, He Yuzhu prepared to leave.

When he was about to go out after packing up his things, He Yuzhu saw Lou Zhenhua and the Mr. Zhao mentioned earlier filling the floor of the living room with things.

They are identifying the treasure!

You have to know that He Yuzhu has just acquired the ability to identify the authenticity of antiques.

Not only that, last night he held the small porcelain bowl from the Song Dynasty at home, which improved his ability a lot. Therefore, he is now able to distinguish the authenticity of antiques.

He Yuzhu went over and bent down to look at the antiques.

"Are you also interested in these?" Lou Zhenhua asked with a smile.

"Can you see clearly?"

"A little bit of fur."

He Yuzhu shook his head and watched Mr. Zhao appreciate these objects one by one.

After a while, Mr. Zhao said that most of them were fakes; even if there were real ones, they were works from the mid-Qing Dynasty or earlier periods, and were not particularly rare treasures.

At this time, everyone came to a painting, which was spread out on the table.

Lou Zhenhua began to describe it eloquently: "The seller said it was the work of Wu Daozi, a famous painter from the Tang Dynasty."

Then, Mr. Zhao put on a magnifying glass and examined it carefully, then put it down.

"It's fake, a fake!" Mr. Zhao said.

"If this thing is real, it would be really valuable."

Obviously, Lou Zhenhua was a little unhappy when he heard this.

"So I wasted my 80 yuan?"

Mr. Zhao denied his statement: "You can find a buyer to sell it, and maybe make some money. But next time you buy something, if it's older than the Qing Dynasty, be careful. If you have this kind of transaction next time, consider taking me along."

Lou Zhenhua followed Mr. Zhao to check the next item, but He Yuzhu was still deeply attracted by the picture.

The painting skills are excellent.

Especially in He Yuzhu's eyes, it was indeed true - absolutely true!

How could such a precious treasure be discovered in this way?

Those who can only participate in the transaction as middlemen are people like Mr. Zhao who don’t understand the goods!

The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the happier he became.

This is truly priceless.

Even if it is placed in a museum in the future, it can be regarded as the treasure of the museum.

So He Yuzhu immediately took out the 800,000 yuan that Lou Zhenhua had just given him from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

“I want this painting.”

This move surprised both Lou Zhenhua and Mr. Zhao.

Lou Zhenhua found it even more incomprehensible.

“This is a replica.”

"Not worth anything."

"What's the point of taking it back?"

He Yuzhu replied with a smile:

"Nothing, I think it looks pretty good."

“It’s just right to hang it up and enjoy it.”

Lou Zhenhua seemed very generous to such an answer, and immediately waved his hand and said:

"Then take the money back."

"If you like this painting, I'll give it to you directly."

"But you have to promise to come here and cook a few meals for me in the future."

He Yuzhu agreed happily:

"no problem!"

"A word is settled!"

Just like that, He Yuzhu left with the scroll.

The more I think about it, the happier I feel.

Unexpectedly, this cooking not only allowed me to meet the factory leaders, but also earned 800,000 yuan! The most important thing was that I got this priceless painting.

No one expected that Mr. Zhao only knew the basics!

While he was secretly happy in his heart, he was also thankful that he had acquired the ability to identify treasures from Wang Shu last night; otherwise, he would have missed this extremely precious masterpiece today.

The joyful mood of the day was the first he had experienced in some time.

After returning home, he re-entered the room and looked at the scroll.

Whenever he gazed at these antiques intently, he could clearly feel his appreciation level improving.

The magnitude of the progress achieved through both internal and external cultivation is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

……

On the second day, at noon,

In a private room of Cuihua Pavilion,

Chen Xueru, wearing a cheongsam, crossed her legs and looked at the swaying branches outside the window with a sly look in her eyes.

As usual, she received a message from a matchmaker and arranged to meet with a potential match.

After experiencing several unsatisfactory blind date experiences, Chen Xueru no longer has many illusions about the future.

But the man Aunt Zhou mentioned gave her a glimmer of hope.

She agreed to the meeting out of respect!

I hope he can be as nice as the man Ms. Zhou described.

At this time, a figure walked into the door.

First impression is not bad.

After chatting for a while, we started ordering food.

In the following time, she felt that the other party was okay.

Suddenly, there was a sound of quarreling and chasing outside the box, and the man was also frightened by the scene.

“Stop!”

"If you run again, then..."

At this time, He Yuzhu happened to pass by here because he was going to Manager Qin's office.

He saw a number of people chasing a man.

There were several people in uniform in the pursuit team.

After seeing this scene, He Yuzhu understood about 70% of the situation.

The enemy has been discovered.

He Yuzhu had never seen the true face of his enemies or their beliefs.

I don't know what they will do in desperate situations.

Perhaps he could still do something about the enemy's appearance, so he followed closely behind his pursuers.

At this time, the man had no way to escape, so he rushed into the private room next door.

Chen Xueru and her blind date in the private room were frightened out of their wits.

The two saw that the intruder was holding a sharp knife.

The blind date man was horrified when he saw this and quickly hid behind Chen Xueru.

He also pushed her towards the man with a knife.

The enemy immediately put the knife to Chen Xueru's neck.

She turned to the soldiers rushing in from the door and shouted, "Don't move. If you move again, I will kill her."

The enemy's tone was extremely excited.

The agents and those in uniform dared not act rashly.

Soon after, Minister Zheng arrived at the scene.

His face was solemn, and he knew in his heart that this man must be captured alive so that he could get information about other enemy spies.
