Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

The sika deer was laid out in the yard by several women, and then Qin Huairu took a big machete and chopped off the deer's head with one stroke.

Lin Shaowen's eyelids jumped when he saw this.

Qin Huairu looked fair and beautiful, but she was never soft-hearted when it came to treating livestock.

To be precise, all of his women were the same.

Even Yu Haitang and He Yushui kept chopping the deer's antlers with knives.

It was still a matter of the times. Nowadays, even professional chefs, as long as they were men, basically didn't cook at home.

At least it was like this in the courtyard.

"Sister Qin, can you cook venison?" Yu Li suddenly asked.

"How can I make this?" Qin Huairu said with a bitter face, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Before I was with Shaowen, I had hardly eaten mutton and beef."

"Who doesn't?" Qin Jingru sighed, "When I was in the village before, I didn't dare to think of such a life. It was good enough to have a full meal."

"That's right." He Yushui continued, "Before... I couldn't eat enough at school, and I drooled every day when I saw others eating meat."

"You can't eat enough?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"No, I remember... Sha Zhu used to give you five yuan a month, right?" Lin Shaowen said uncertainly.

"Sixty yuan a year, to pay tuition and book fees... I also have to buy cloth myself and let the aunties make clothes for me. Sometimes he doesn't have money himself, how can he give me money." He Yushui rolled his eyes.

"Where did Sha Zhu spend thirty-seven and a half yuan a month?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise.

"How do I know? Anyway, he just said he had no money." He Yushui said helplessly.

…

Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu looked at her with sympathy.

Originally, they thought He Yushui had a good life, after all, Shazhu had only one sister and had a high salary.

Unexpectedly, life was so hard.

"Life in our family is not easy either." Yu Li sighed, "My father has to support the three of us alone... sometimes we have to go hungry."

"Don't you have food supplies?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.

"In addition to eating, we also have to study." Yu Haitang smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the poor family conditions, my sister would have gone to college at that time, and I wouldn't have only studied in a technical secondary school..."

"Well, Yu Li has good grades?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

"First in the class." Yu Haitang said proudly.

"Then... when you have the opportunity, you can continue to go to college?" Lin Shaowen smiled.

"No." Yu Li smiled and waved her hand, "I am living a comfortable life now. When we have a child... If I send him to Hong Kong, I will take care of the child. If he doesn't go, I will take care of you two."

"Isn't this boring? Men and women will be bored without their own careers." Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

Qin Huairu and others did not respond, but they thought Lin Shaowen was very strange.

Other men are afraid that their women will go out and show their faces, even if they can't eat, they let their women stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.

Lin Shaowen is different.

He is not short of money at all, but still wants his woman to go to work.

"Shao Wen, how about... we ask Sha Zhu to cook?" Qin Jingru said helplessly, "This sika deer meat looks special, don't let it be ruined in our hands later."

"Forget it." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "Today is their big day, don't think I'm here to make trouble."

"Then..."

Qin Jingru hesitated.

"Okay, I'll do it." Lin Shaowen stood up and said.

"You do it?"

Qin Jingru and others were stunned.

Especially Qin Huairu, she has been with Lin Shaowen for almost seven years, but she never knew that he could cook.

Of course, she didn't give Lin Shaowen a chance to cook.

"Don't you know how to cook?" Lin Shaowen smiled, "But let's make it in advance, I can only cook Sichuan cuisine...it will be a little spicy."

"We are not afraid of spicy food."

Everyone said in unison.

They really want to see Lin Shaowen's cooking skills. After all, in their eyes, Lin Shaowen is a big boss in the old society.

Both of his parents are high-level intellectuals. After graduation, they became senior cadres within a year of entering the factory. Almost all of his friends are officials, or second-generation officials like Zhao Qingshan.

Such a person can cook?

They really don't believe it.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen went straight to the kitchen without explaining.

Qin Huairu immediately followed him and tied an apron on him.

Qin Jingru and others all gathered at the kitchen door, staring at him intently.

Lin Shaowen grinned at them, then picked up the kitchen knife, but the kitchen knife turned slightly in his palm, leaving a knife flower.

"Wow."

Qin HuairuRu and others exclaimed.

Just this one skill made them believe that Lin Shaowen could cook.

"It's rare that everyone is resting today, I'll make a few simple dishes... Let's have a drink later." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Okay."

Everyone nodded vigorously.

An hour later.

The large eight-immortal table has been moved from the pergola to the yard, with a large round plate on it. Ten dishes were neatly placed on the round plate. Not to mention how they tasted, the appearance alone was already better than Shazhu.

"This... is this really made by Shaowen?" Qin Huairu said uncertainly.

"Didn't you watch him cook it?" Qin Jingru smiled.

"But... I still feel it's not real." Qin Huairu smiled bitterly.

"This is too beautiful, isn't it?" He Yushui looked admiring.

Her father and brother are both chefs, but even they can't cook to this level.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang didn't say anything, and quickly ran to the study to get wine.

Compound.

"What's that smell... Why is it so fragrant?" Ran Qiuye's nose twitched slightly.

"What? Are you not full yet?" Ran Jing joked, "Since you like Sha Zhu's cooking so much, you might as well marry him."

"Don't talk nonsense, we are friends." Ran Qiuye said seriously.

"This smell is a bit wrong." Su Xiu frowned, "I remember the meal we just had... It wasn't so fragrant, right?"

"What are you sisters talking about?"

Sha Zhu and others came over.

"Didn't you smell it?" Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, "It smells very fragrant... and a spicy taste."

Sha Zhu also followed suit, took a deep breath, and his face suddenly changed, "Wow... Mapo tofu, husband and wife lung slices, and... boiled beef, this is a typical Sichuan dish, there are masters in the compound?"

"No, you are talking nonsense, you can smell it too?" Xu Damao said.

"You can doubt my character, but you can't question my professionalism." Sha Zhu curled his lips and said, "What can your rat nose smell?"

"That's not right." Yan Jiecheng frowned and said, "Sha Zhu, logically speaking, you are the best cook in this courtyard, right? Is there anyone who cooks better than you?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Sha Zhu's face changed drastically.

He was able to gain a foothold in the courtyard and become a core member.

The first thing he relied on was his craftsmanship, and the second was his fighting power.

The second point he admitted was that he couldn't beat Lin Shaowen.

But when it comes to cooking skills, that pretty boy has to kneel down to him.
