Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Yan Jiefang took out some of the goods he had bought for free in Gangcheng and cooked a meal himself.

After eating, Yan Jiefang wandered to the kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

At this time, He Yuzhu has returned to his role as chef.

Some time ago, when the leader wanted to restore He Yuzhu's identity, a conflict arose!

Before, Yan Jiefang had cheated him once in order to get a reward. He was caught on the spot for stealing things from the steel mill and was immediately stripped of his status as chef.

Later, I helped Yan Jiefang sell pork, and I made a lot of money from the difference. I was no longer interested in cooking for my boss, and I even felt disgusted with the leftovers I brought back from cooking for my boss.

Cooking for the boss not only wastes a lot of my time, but also doesn't bring much benefit. If I had that time, it would be great to go out and buy some pork!

However, thinking of what Yan Jiefang reminded him, He Yuzhu bargained with his leader and got a position as a formal worker.

Starting in 66, unrest swept across the country, teachers were fired, and senior intellectuals faced harsh treatment.

Intellectuals like Ran Qiuye would inevitably be treated unfairly. If she had been transferred to a steel mill and become a worker before the turmoil came, her treatment would naturally be much better than being a teacher.

At this time, her identity as a worker big brother was no joke. With her identity as a worker, when the chaotic period came, those little red soldiers had to think twice before criticizing her.

……

The kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

"Brother Zhuzi is busy!"

Yan Jiefang secretly walked into the kitchen from the back door and saw He Yuzhu instructing Ma Hua to cook. He quietly walked behind He Yuzhu and patted him gently.

With the influence of Yan Jiefang, He Yuzhu no longer kept his skills to himself when teaching his apprentice Ma Hua. In addition to the ancestral Tan family dishes, he also taught ordinary home-cooked dishes with great care.

He Yuzhu was startled when he was suddenly slapped. He turned around quickly and cursed, "Which bastard dares to sneak attack Grandpa?"

Anger was evident on his face, but when he turned around and saw that it was Yan Jiefang, the anger disappeared and a flattering smile appeared on his face. He demonstrated a Sichuan Opera face-changing to Yan Jiefang.

"Zhu Zi, do you want to be my grandfather?"

Seeing He Yuzhu's funny look, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but joked.

He Yuzhu put his arm around Yan Jiefang's shoulders and said in a humble and flattering voice, "Brother Jiefang, you're back! I missed you so much during the days you were away!"

Yan Jiefang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Brother Zhuzi, if you can talk, then say a little, if you can't talk, then say less, what do you mean you want me to die?"

"Also, do you miss me or my supplies?" Yan Jiefang teased.

"hey-hey!"

He Yuzhu scratched his hair with his hands, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a silly smile: "I want both, I want both."

Seeing that Yan Jiefang didn't mind, he continued, "I'm getting married soon, so please help me get some food. The current situation is not suitable for a big wedding. I plan to invite relatives from both families to have a good meal."

Yan Jiefang looked at He Yuzhu suspiciously. He could prepare a good meal himself. After all, He Yuzhu was a chef and had meat and money, so there was no shortage of vegetables in the market.

He Yuzhu's next words made him want to turn around and walk back.

"I just thought that my marriage is a lifelong event, so I wanted to cook a meal of Tan's cuisine for my relatives and friends to taste, and celebrate my marriage at the same time!"

"I don't plan to make too much. Just three tables will do, with ten dishes on each table."

Wow, there are three tables of Tan’s dishes. This is the second place dish, which was only eaten by powerful officials in the past.

Why do we say that only powerful officials can eat it? Because most of the ingredients are not accessible to ordinary people.

Take seafood for example. Prepared abalone and sea cucumber were foods that were out of reach for ordinary people at that time. The skills to process these things were passed down from generation to generation. If you didn’t have a background from your ancestors, you wouldn’t be able to prepare them.

By completing tasks and purchasing for free, I have stored a lot of good ingredients in the space, but the quantity is not much.

If he really cooked three tables of Tan’s dishes according to the standard, some of his stock would be used up.

But thinking about it, He Yuzhu is his brother-in-law after all, so he might as well give it to him. He can just go overseas to get married later. After all, a space anchor has been placed in Hong Kong City, so he can go to Hong Kong City with just a thought.

"Okay, I agree."

After thinking it through, Yan Jiefang readily agreed.

Hearing that Yan Jiefang agreed to his request, He Yuzhu smiled even more and moved closer to Yan Jiefang with a licking face.

Seeing He Yuzhu's flattering look, Yan Jiefang felt uneasy and pushed him away with his hand, showing a look of disgust on his face. He said with disgust: "Stay away from me, your expression makes me sick. If you have something to say, just tell me. If you disgust me again, I will leave."

"It's not a big deal. I don't need two people for one thing. I'm in need of a chef on my wedding day. Can you help me cook the dishes?"

Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said unhappily: "I really owe you. Not only have you sacrificed so many good things, but I have also sacrificed myself."
