I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Bai Baoshan, who had left the compound, had no idea about the bad things that had happened in the compound after he left.

We rode our bike to Dongzhimen first. The dismantled city wall bricks were piled up in large and small piles not far away.

There was a group of children who should be from the surrounding area, running around in there, and there were some adults walking around in there, occasionally digging out a brick to look at, obviously looking for some good stuff.

I heard that a brick was auctioned for 700 million yuan.

When it comes to antiques, Bai Baoshan is an illiterate.

When it comes to butchering pigs, even masters with many years of experience are not as skillful as Bai Baoshan, but when it comes to dealing with antiques, he is completely overwhelmed.

Even for luxury goods, if others say a brand is good, he will just follow the trend and buy it.

Bai Baoshan did not come here to pick any antiques. After looking around, he finally found three craftsmen pulling a cart.

"Are you three busy now?" Bai Baoshan stopped the car, took out a cigarette, and gave one to each of them.

"Oh... it's a filter tip. We're just chatting here. Little brother, tell me what's the matter. As long as we can help, we will definitely help."

"That's great. I'm sure you can help with this job. Master, I need to build a wall at home, but we don't have any bricks. I happen to have some unwanted bricks here. I'd like to trouble the three masters to each pull a cartload of them. That should be enough."

The location is at No. 95, Nanluoguxiang. Three masters, how much do you think it will cost?"

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle scratched his head and said, "Little brother, this is not close, can we unload the packaging?"

"For now, there are only me and my sister at home. There is no other labor. I have to trouble the three masters."

"Well, little brother, the three of us are honest people and we won't cheat you. How about this, one dollar each, and we'll make sure the car is fully loaded."

"Okay, it's not easy for the three masters. It would be unfair for me to bargain. I'll just do what you set."

"Okay, young boss, if you're so forthcoming, we'll install it for you right away and make sure there isn't a single rotten piece."

"Thank you, Master. Please decide when to give me the money."

"Little boss, we are not in a hurry to pay you. Wait until we get to the place and you can check the goods before paying."

"My fellow masters are all straightforward people, so I won't be pretentious and will just wait for you three at home.

It’s the one on the east corner of No. 95, Nanluoguxiang. ”

"Okay, we'll remember it.

Come on, guys, let's go load the bricks." Master Wobo waved his hand and drove the cart away, and the remaining two followed him.

Bai Baoshan sighed and said, what a good man.

After estimating the time, it’s almost time to go home.

Get on the bike, turn around and go back the way you came.

I have been out for more than half an hour, and I don’t know what Qiao Yun is like at home. This road is quite busy, I may come for a walk tomorrow if I have nothing to do.

Bai Baoshan glanced at Gulou Street, turned the car around and drove into Nanluoguxiang.

There was an extra paper bag and a small cloth bag on the handlebars, which contained seasonings for marinating meat. They were fried with salt and other spices. They were specially prepared by the kitchen chef at the time, and a lot of each was included.

Because some people like it and always want to try braising it themselves, or pickling some bacon themselves, Bai Baoshan asked the chef to prepare more, probably about a hundred packs, which was enough for Bai Baoshan to use.

In this weather, I can only make bacon.

This is a secret skill that is not passed down from generation to generation.

Creak, I arrived at the gate of the yard, and saw from a distance Yan Bugui walking back happily with a bucket and a fishing rod.

This old guy must have skipped school to go fishing again.

It looks like a great harvest.

"Hey... Baoshan, you're back? Look at the fish that Uncle San caught. Two of them weigh more than one ounce each. Let's go together some other day. I tell you, Uncle San may not be good at other things, but when it comes to fishing, he's unrivaled in everything."

"Haha...you are awesome." Bai Baoshan carried the car over the threshold and entered the yard.

Yan Bugui also followed him into the yard, looking at Bai Baoshan's car with envy, wondering whether he should buy one too. New cars are too expensive, so he might as well buy a second-hand one. This way, not only would he have a car to ride, but he could also save a lot of money.

Hey... no, what's that smell?

As he spoke, he twitched his nose and began to sniff around.

Bai Baoshan parked the car, picked up the paper bag and knocked on the door. "Qiao Yun, open the door, brother is back."

"Brother..." Qiao Yun opened the door with sweat all over her face.

Qiao Yun's face was covered in sweat and her hair was wet. Not only was Qiao Yun covered in sweat, the whole room was like a steamer.

"Why is it so hot in the house?"

"Brother, I closed the window after you left. I'll open it now." Qiao Yun hurried to open the window. A gust of wind blew in, and it immediately became much cooler.

"Silly girl, just close the door. There are iron bars on the window, so they can't get in."

"I'm scared." Qiao Yun said, clenching her hands.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm back. Look what this is. I bought all the ingredients for the braised meat and marinated meat. I've been begging for the chef's skills for a long time."

"Brother, you are awesome."

"Hurry up and wash your face. You're all sweaty. Go change your clothes. Don't catch a cold."

Bai Baoshan pushed Qiao Yun to change clothes and walked to the stove. The meat was almost cooked.

Take out all the meat, the broth cannot be used, pour it into a bucket on the side and pour it out later.

Re-wash the pot and add water. There are 5 small packs in a package, wrapped with gauze, just throw them into the water.

Pour in the homemade soy sauce.

While Qiao Yun was away, I threw in a few pieces of rock sugar.

Braised pork and rock sugar are the soul.

I went under the bed in the room and found the wine left by my grandfather. Since there was no cooking wine, white wine would be fine.

This is a bottle of Fenjiu, the authentic one produced in 57. Although it is only half a bottle, I opened it and smelled it. It tasted pretty good. I took a sip and clicked my tongue twice. This is real grain wine. What the hell are those blended ones?

No wonder my old man would curse whenever he drank, and he especially treasured his wine cellar.

Pour some into the pot, cover it, and turn up the heat.

He poured a little soy sauce into the bowl of meat, washed his hands, and started rubbing the meat with his hands.

This can be considered as coloring, but the conditions are simple and this is the only way.

After a few minutes, the water in the pot boils, put the meat back in, and then add salt.

Cook over high heat for 5 minutes, then simmer over low heat.

Qiao Yun sat there very quietly, holding her head with her hands and squinting her eyes as she watched Bai Baoshan working.

In less than 10 minutes, the smell from the pot came out and could not be covered even with a lid.

Along with the water vapor, the steam comes out.

The smell of braised meat filled the entire compound.

"Is anyone home? We are here to deliver bricks."

Bai Baoshan heard this and walked out. "The three masters are really quick. Please just unload here so that it will be convenient for building the wall tomorrow."

"Okay, then we'll take it off." The man wiped his face with a towel and sniffed. Whose house is this? Are you still eating braised meat these days?

He tightened his belt and went out to unload bricks.

Bai Baoshan knew what to do.
