Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

After hearing what Wu's mother said, Mr. Wu felt a little embarrassed and looked at Cai Quanwu with an awkward smile.

Fortunately, after Wu's mother interrupted, no one mentioned Xiao Wu anymore.

The matter passed like this.

Cai Quanwu looked at Wu's father's unnatural expression, and in order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, he greeted him again:

"Come on, Mom, Brother Wu, Sister-in-law, have some fried fish."

After saying that, Cai Quanwu took the lead, grabbed a few, stuffed them into his mouth and started eating.

Cai Quanwu ate several of them in a row, and they were so delicious that they tasted so good.

This time, Guan's mother and her friends did not hold back. Led by Cai Quanwu, they all reached out and grabbed some food from the plate, ready to try it.

"It's delicious."

“It smells good.”

"good to eat."

After tasting the food, Guan's mother, Wu's father and mother started praising it one after another.

"It's delicious, eat more." After getting everyone's affirmation, Sha Zhu said happily with a smile on his face.

Although he didn't fry the fish with all his heart because he was unhappy, he still added plenty of seasonings, so the fish was still very fragrant after frying.

"Okay." Guan's mother and the others responded at the same time when they heard Sha Zhu's words.

Afterwards, each of them caught a few more.

The fried fish tastes better the more you chew it.

Before they had eaten a few, Guan Jiaqi and Xiao Wu came into the house with Cai Quanwu's teacup.

Coming to the table, Guan Jiaqi placed Cai Quanwu's teacup in front of him and sat down next to him.

Xiao Wu followed suit and sat next to Sha Zhu.

"Xiaoqing, my dear aunt, let's eat fish. They all say it's delicious." After Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi sat down, Sha Zhu invited them to eat fried fish.

With such delicious food, he can’t forget his wife.

Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi didn't hesitate to grab the food and started eating after Sha Zhu finished speaking.

Once you eat it, you can't stop...

"uncle……"

Everyone was eating fried fish and chatting when He Yushui ran in with Wu Chu and Wu Yue, shouting as they ran.

"What's the matter?" Cai Quanwu heard He Yushui calling him, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Uncle, we are thirsty..." He Yushui said meaningfully when he came to Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu understood He Yushui's little idea, and pointed at the soda in the corner and said:

"Take it yourself, one bottle per person, you hear me?"

After getting permission, He Yushui nodded and took Wu Chu and Wu Yue to open the soda.

"He Yushui, how much fried fish did you eat?" Sha Zhu asked the people who were squatting on the ground opening sodas.

His fried fish was not salty at all. They all felt thirsty after eating it. They must have eaten a lot.

"I didn't eat much." He Yushui replied without turning his head.

He Yushui could only deceive herself with these words; no one present believed her.

How can you feel thirsty without eating much?

After the rope was untied, He Yushui gave a bottle to Wu Chu and Wu Yue respectively, and then took one for himself.

A few people took the soda and ran out.

After He Yushui and the others left, everyone sat at the table and chatted for a while. Guan's mother couldn't sit still anymore and said:

"I heard Jiaqi say that you are preparing to make rice dumplings?"

"We have nothing to do, let's chat while we wrap."

"Aunt is right, let's go and take care of the women, and let the men stay here and chat."

"They can't help much even if they go, and they just make things worse."

Mother Wu continued what Mother Guan said and expressed her thoughts.

Although she didn't understand Cai Quanwu, she understood Wu's father.

It would be better to let him take a rest than to ask him to make rice dumplings.

"Okay, let's go and take charge of it." She naturally had no objection to what Mother Wu said.

When Sha Zhu heard that everyone was preparing to make rice dumplings, he quickly got up and started to get busy.

This requires a lot of preparation.

Seeing this, Guan Jiaqi and Xiao Wu had no choice but to get up and help.

After everyone was busy, Cai Quanwu and Wu's father were the only ones left in the room.

They smiled at each other, Cai Quanwu took out a cigarette and started smoking with Wu's father.

Two people sat in the house smoking, drinking tea and chatting.

When everyone had prepared almost everything, they started to make zongzi. Cai Quanwu and Wu's father got up and went to the gate to join in the fun, watching everyone making zongzi.

Watching everyone making zongzi for a while, Cai Quanwu discovered that both Wu's mother and Guan's mother were experts at it. They folded the reed leaves, added rice and stuffing, and tied them up in one go.

After a while, a rice dumpling was formed, which made Cai Quanwu amazed.

After a while, Cai Quanwu said to Sha Zhu who was instructing Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi to make rice dumplings: "Zhu Zi, stop working here and go prepare the meal."

It’s not that Tsai is in no hurry, but it has to be done a little earlier.

This roasted turtle chicken cannot be prepared in a short time.

Not only do the turtles and pheasants need to be processed first, but there are no high-fire stoves nowadays. If you use a coal stove, you have to prepare them in advance to avoid undercooking them.

"Okay." Sha Zhu agreed and prepared to start cooking dinner.

Treat all ingredients the same.

Sha Zhu first took the pheasant to the pool and plucked its feathers with hot water, then cut it open and cleaned it.

After cleaning up and tidying up the pheasant feathers, he took the cleaned pheasant back to the kitchen.

The next step is to deal with the turtle.

After Sha Zhu took it to the pool to drain its blood, he also cut open its stomach and cleaned out some inedible parts and some parts with a strong fishy smell.

After cleaning, pour hot water on its body and soak it for a while to remove the dead skin on the turtle.

After doing all this, Sha Zhu cleaned the turtle and took it to the kitchen.

After the turtle and pheasant were processed, Sha Zhu started chopping them in the kitchen.

After a series of clanging sounds, the turtle and pheasant were chopped into small pieces.

After chopping the turtle and pheasant into small pieces, Sha Zhu marinated them with white wine and set aside.

Afterwards, Sha Zhu prepared the seasoning...

"Mom, sister-in-law, you guys are really fast at making zongzi."

"If you hadn't come, and Zhuzi and the others had to take care of it, who knows how long it would take."

Looking at the little glutinous rice and yellow rice left in the two basins, Cai Quanwu started praising Guan's mother and Wu's mother.

He wasn't flattering.

After watching it, Cai Quanwu realized that Sha Zhu could only be said to be good at wrapping.

In terms of hand speed, she is far behind Guan's mother and Wu's mother.

Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi can only be considered as barely able to support the family.

Needless to say, the speed is very fast, one in half a day.

If Guan's mother and Wu's mother hadn't come today, and Sha Zhu and the others had been asked to make the decorations, it would probably take until midnight.

This is the difference between proficiency and unfamiliarity.

"Practice makes perfect. Once you learn a little, you will be able to make more bags quickly." Guan's mother said with a smile.

"Some people can never learn no matter how hard they try." After Guan's mother said this, Wu's mother smiled and implied Wu's father.

"Don't speak in a sarcastic tone. Everyone can learn it. I'm just too lazy to learn." When Mr. Wu heard what Mrs. Wu said, his face turned dark and he defended himself.

"You try to learn it." Mother Wu said to Father Wu with contempt.

"Some things really depend on talent."

"Those with good talents can learn it easily, but those with poor talents can never learn it."

"Take learning how to ride a bicycle for example. Some people learn how to ride in two days, while others can't learn even after ten days or half a month."

"Everyone's talents are different, so we can't generalize."

After Wu's mother finished speaking, Cai Quanwu didn't wait for Wu's mother and father to speak, but followed up to explain the matter of talent, which slightly eased Wu's father's embarrassment.

After Cai Quanwu's explanation, Wu's father felt that he was fine again and said to Wu's mother:

"Listen to what Brother Cai said. You know nothing and you keep yelling nonsense all day long."
