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

As soon as Father Wu finished boasting, Mother Wu said angrily:

"Yes, I was just yelling."

"But tell me what you are talented at."

"How come I didn't notice it all these years?"

Wu's mother's words left Wu's father speechless.

Because Father Wu didn't know what talents he had.

"I don't want to bother with you." Father Wu couldn't win the argument with Mother Wu, so he could only cheat.

Otherwise, my face would be rubbed on the ground.

It happened that Sha Zhu was frying turtle and pheasant in the pan in the kitchen. Waves of delicious aroma wafted out, and Father Wu turned around and went straight to the kitchen.

Since he can't get along with you, he will leave on his own accord.

Looking at Wu's father's back, Wu's mother smiled and said to everyone, "It's always like this. If you can't win the argument, just run away."

Everyone laughed when they heard what Wu's mother said.

Cai Quanwu even joked with Wu's mother: "Sister-in-law, if you can't win the argument and still don't run away, then you must have a problem with your brain."

"Running in Angkor means there is nothing wrong with the person."

Sometimes fallacies sound particularly reasonable.

When Wu's mother heard Cai Quanwu's joke, she slowed down her movements in wrapping the rice dumplings. She thought about it carefully and said, "You know what, it really makes sense."

"Hahaha."

Seeing the serious look on Wu's mother's face, everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't stop.

"Mom, you take it seriously." Xiao Wu glanced at Wu's mother and said with a smile.

"What? I think what his uncle said makes sense." Mother Wu answered Xiao Wu seriously.

Xiao Wu looked at his mother and patted his forehead with the back of his hand. He felt speechless and simply ignored her and started wrapping the rice dumplings.

If people get stuck in a rut, it will be hard to understand for a while.

In the kitchen, Father Wu looked at Sha Zhu who was constantly stirring the food in the wok, smelled the aroma, and pulled Mother Wu out to compare her with Sha Zhu:

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills are much more delicious than your mother's."

"By the way, Zhuzi, when you have time, teach your mother a few moves."

Shazhu couldn't respond to what Mr. Wu said.

It was okay for him to comment on Wu's mother, but as a junior, how could Sha Zhu comment on his mother-in-law? In front of his father-in-law, he could only bite the bullet and find excuses to explain:

"Dad, I think Mom's home cooking is pretty good."

"Our cooking method is different from home cooking. It's very wasteful. If I hadn't fried fish in this pot before, I wouldn't have used this method."

"The methods we cooks often use are generally not suitable for home cooking."

Sha Zhu was not talking nonsense to fool Wu's father.

Chefs, especially those in restaurants, like to fry dishes over medium-high frying.

In this era, the average family only has 2 taels of oil per person per month, so there is no such thing.

It is because people of this era generally lack oil and water, and the dishes in restaurants are full of oil and water after being fried, that people think the dishes in restaurants are delicious.

"I see." After hearing Sha Zhu's explanation, Father Wu did not bring up the topic again.

But his words were full of regret.

Sha Zhu didn't care about anything else. After frying the turtle and pheasant in the pot, he started to add various seasonings.

Once this seasoning is added and stir-fried, the aroma of the seasoning spreads instantly.

"It's delicious."

Father Wu smelled the aroma of the seasoning and couldn't help but praise it.

Not only Father Wu had this feeling, but Mother Wu and Mother Guan outside also smelled the fragrance and praised it.

"This chef's cooking smells delicious."

“It is indeed fragrant.”

Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi didn't react that strongly when they smelled the fragrance.

They eat the meals cooked by Sha Zhu every day.

No matter how fragrant it is, that's all.

Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi didn't react much, let alone Cai Quanwu.

He has been baptized by technology and hard work, what kind of fragrance has he not smelled?

After a while, the fragrance disappeared for the most part, and Sha Zhu and Wu's father walked out of the kitchen.

"It's almost done." Sha Zhu came out and said with a smile when he saw that the dumplings were almost finished.

He originally thought that he would have to go through the trouble of making rice dumplings, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.

"almost."

"How's your cooking?"

Cai Quanwu answered and asked about Sha Zhu.

"There is fire in the stove, let it simmer slowly." Sha Zhu replied when he heard Cai Quanwu's question.

After that, Sha Zhu and Cai Quanwu discussed the wrapped dumplings:

"Uncle, there are so many dumplings. I don't know how long it will take to cook them on the stove."

"Why don't we build a stove in the yard and put a big pot on it to cook."

"Okay, let's use a big pot. We can cook everything in one pot, which saves trouble."

When Cai Quanwu heard Sha Zhu's opinion, he thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

As Shazhu said, if we cook them one pot at a time on the stove, we don't know how long it will take to finish.

Moreover, some of these rice dumplings need to be taken home by Guan's mother and Wu's mother respectively, so naturally, the sooner they are cooked, the better.

After getting Cai Quanwu's approval, Sha Zhu immediately took action.

Soon, Sha Zhu built a stove with bricks in the place where he usually built stoves in the yard.

After stacking everything, Sha Zhu went home and took out the big pot.

After cleaning it in the sink, I placed the pot on the stove.

After that, Shazhu went to the place where firewood was piled to get firewood.

It would definitely take a lot of firewood to cook so many dumplings in one pot.

Sha Zhu has finished preparing here, and the rice dumplings over there have also been wrapped.

Seeing that the rice dumplings were wrapped, Sha Zhu lit the fire in the stove.

After the fire in the stove was burning, Sha Zhu took a basin and fetched water from the faucet and poured it into the pot.

After pouring a few basins of water, everyone put the wrapped dumplings into the pot together.

After putting the dumplings in place, Sha Zhu took a few basins of water and poured it into the pot, letting the water cover the dumplings.

"Everything is fine here, you all go home and have a rest." Sha Zhu added enough water to the pot and said to everyone.

"Okay, look at the pillar."

Cai Quanwu didn't bother to be polite with Sha Zhu. He said goodbye to him and took everyone home to rest.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tired at all after wrapping so many dumplings.

Back in the house, everyone sat at the table and continued drinking tea and chatting.

After chatting for a while, He Yushui came back with Wu Chu and Wu Yue holding bottles of soda.

After the three of them put the soda bottle next to the soda in the corner, He Yushui said to Cai Quanwu with gloating:

"Uncle, the third uncle is back."

"The whole person is like a mud monkey, covered in mud."

Cai Quanwu was very surprised when he heard this. Didn’t the third uncle go fishing?

How could this happen?

He told the location clearly to the third uncle.

How did you get covered in mud in that little puddle?

I don't think the third uncle has come to the wrong place.

"Yu Shui, did Uncle San catch any fish?" Cai Quanwu asked curiously.

"I didn't notice it, I don't know." He Yushui shook her head. She was only looking at the muddy old man, so how could she pay attention to so many things.

After hearing He Yushui's answer, Cai Quanwu thought to himself, with the character of the Third Uncle, it would be fine if he caught the fish, but if he didn't catch the fish and was covered in mud, he would definitely hold a grudge.

He would think that Cai Quanwu and Sha Zhu were deceiving him.

However, Cai Quanwu didn't care about these. What he was curious about was why the third uncle was covered in mud.

He went into the water in the morning and only a part of his trouser legs was wet.

"Go and see if the Third Uncle has caught any fish." Cai Quanwu ordered He Yushui who was gloating over his misfortune.

"Okay." He Yushui agreed and ran out again with Wu Chu and Wu Yue.

The conversation between Cai Quanwu and He Yushui left Guan's mother, Wu's father and mother completely confused.

Looking at the confused people, Cai Quanwu explained:

"We caught a lot of fish this morning. The third uncle in our yard was a little interested when he saw them, so he came to ask us where we caught the fish, and we told him the location."

Although Cai Quanwu didn't say anything, Guan's mother and the others were not stupid and knew what was going on.

Isn't this just thinking of taking advantage by following behind?
