Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Father and Mother Lou were savoring the food slowly, but Lou Xiao'e was so hungry that she didn't care and ate the vegetables and drank the soup in big mouthfuls.

“Gulp, gulp!”

Lou Xiao'e's wolfing down of the food completely destroyed the atmosphere where the two of them were savoring the food.

Father and mother Lou smiled at each other, looked at their precious daughter lovingly, picked up the chopsticks in their hands quicker, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Because of the presence of a pregnant woman, Father Lou and Yan Jiefang tacitly agreed not to drink, and the four of them ate their meal quickly.

After the four of them had eaten their fill, Lou's mother directly expressed her idea, which was to ask Yan Jiefang to pass on her Tan family cuisine.

"Jiefang, mom hasn't found an heir to the Tan family cuisine either, so why don't I pass the Tan family cuisine to you directly? When you have an apprentice, you can pass it on, so that the Tan family cuisine can also be passed on."

Yan Jiefang naturally agreed. Although he had the skills of a top chef and had a deep understanding of various cooking knowledge and techniques, he had no idea about the secret recipes that had been passed down for a long time.

I was originally thinking about how to please my mother-in-law and ask her to teach me, but now I have gotten it without any effort, and my mother-in-law wants to pass it on to me.

"Okay, Mom."

"Is there anything I need to do?" Yan Jiefang knew nothing about the master-disciple relationship, so he had to ask Lou's mother.

"I'll give you the recipe later. The rules are written on it. Let's forget about it." Lou's mother said, "There are still some ingredients at home. Take them back and cook according to the recipe. I won't teach you how to cook it myself."

Yan Jiefang nodded in agreement. He also knew that the dishes of the Tan family were so particular that if Lou's mother were to cook them, not to mention the ingredients, it would take too much time. Some broths would take more than a day to cook. Yan Jiefang couldn't just sit there doing nothing and stay at the Lou's house all the time!

"Thank you, Mom. I will go back and make it according to the recipe. If I feel it is not good enough, I will come to you again." Yan Jiefang replied.

After talking about Lou's mother, Lou's father started asking about things in Hong Kong.

They had just discussed the matters of going to Hong Kong and the general direction in the study, but Father Lou had never been there and was still a little worried, so they started chatting.

Perhaps because he had made up his mind, he did not avoid Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e.

Father Lou thought of his old friends who went to Hong Kong, and said with emotion: "I also have a few old friends in Hong Kong who went there in advance. Although they have some assets in the old city, it is not the same in Hong Kong. It is not easy to make money."

"When I first went there, I didn't know the rules and didn't make arrangements properly. I was harassed by gangs every other day. I was also terrified at night. There were gang fights on the streets in the middle of the night."

Yan Jiefang knew that Hong Kong was in chaos at that time, with all kinds of societies and gangs everywhere. But he had something to rely on. Not to mention his space, it could help the country get a lot of materials at cost price, so the country had to protect him desperately and would not let him be in any danger.

He had planned it out. As long as the higher-ups agreed, he would take his people there to form a society, all of whom would be former soldiers. He wanted to see if those local societies could resist this incoming dragon.

"Dad, your friends went to Hong Kong without any proper investigation. They definitely didn't choose a house in a wealthy area. If they lived in a wealthy area, there wouldn't be any dangerous incidents like gang fights at night."

"I'm sure of my situation. I'll go with you once you're done and come back after you've settled down."

Yan Jiefang also needed to go there in person to place the space anchor and help arrange the supply. With the powerful weapon of space, it was quite convenient to deal with some shady things.

After hearing that Yan Jiefang was going with him, Lou's father no longer worried about problems that could not be solved in Hong Kong. Then he thought that if there was no reasonable explanation for the large-scale purchase of materials, it would definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, so he asked, "What kind of business do we have over there to cover up the purchase of materials? If there is no cover, the large-scale purchase of materials will definitely be discovered by the foreigners."

"I've only made a preliminary plan, Dad. You should stick to your old business and open a factory. Then you'll have an excuse to purchase machines when the time comes."

"Let's set up a club there and run a large market, so we can have an excuse to buy all kinds of daily necessities."

After finishing speaking, Yan Jiefang looked at Lou's mother again and added: "It's not bad to open a restaurant in Hong Kong. With the society watching over it, nothing will go wrong. The most important thing is that not only can we make money, but we can also find out all kinds of information, which is also helpful to us."

The meaning is very clear. If you open a restaurant, Lou's mother will need to come out to take charge, and life will not be so leisurely.

Hearing that she could help, Lou's mother readily agreed.

"Let me take care of the restaurant. I don't want to sit at home doing nothing every day. I'm almost sick from being idle." Lou's mother said with a smile.

Lou's mother smiled happily. She had been taking care of her husband and children for so many years. But since the public-private partnership, her husband stayed at home doing nothing, her children did not come home often, and she had nothing to do. She felt empty and uncomfortable.

My son-in-law found me a job, and knowing that I had something to do, I felt fulfilled.

Through chatting with Yan Jiefang, Lou's father also became full of confidence in the upcoming trip to Hong Kong. He made up his mind to sell his assets quickly and looked forward to showing his talents in Hong Kong next time.

Time flies, and three or four hours go by in a flash.

Yan Jiefang looked at the sky and knew it was time to go back. He would go back to the courtyard and take a look around to see if there were any system tasks released.

Today, the Liu family is splitting up. According to the character of the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong, they must hold a meeting to criticize Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and at the same time consolidate the authority of their uncle in charge.

Yan Jiefang was not sure if anything big would happen at the meeting, so he planned to go to the courtyard. If nothing happened, he would not lose anything. He could come and ask about what happened today and be a bystander. But if something happened and he was not there, resulting in his system not issuing tasks, he would lose a lot.

Through observing the system tasks during this period, he found that most of them were from the characters in the courtyard. Although many plots were changed due to his influence, he believed that the people in the courtyard, especially the Jia family and the Yi Zhonghai family, would definitely do something weird, and he, the sixth brother, would have to exaggerate the situation.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Jiefang and Lou Xiao'e also said goodbye and left.
