I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 45: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 45
Liu Heitan pulled his rickshaw to the doorstep of Wei's house. Wei Ada, who was sitting under the eaves basking in the sun, opened his eyes as if he sensed something.
He stretched his neck and looked towards the door, and sure enough, he saw the rickshaw he had been longing for.
Now the house is lively.
Xu Ayu was also happy and sincerely invited Liu Heitan to have dinner at home.
She held up the spareribs and lotus roots that Wei Miao had bought and said:
"It's not a great dish, just braised short ribs and sweet and sour lotus root slices."
Wei Ada also kept him, rubbing his hands and saying, "Brother Heitan, stay and let's talk. I'm a little bored listening to the crazy woman nagging all day long."
Because there were outsiders present, Xu Ayu was very considerate and did not argue with Wei Ada. Instead, he gave him a smiling look and turned into the kitchen.
Wei Ran and a few others also surrounded the new and beautiful rickshaw, jumping and dancing with joy.
Wei Ling followed behind Wei Miao and said with a pout:
"Brother, isn't cousin Duoyu coming back?"
Wei Miao stretched out his hand and pinched her black and red facial beads, saying, "Don't you hate it most because she competes with you for your mother?"
Wei Ling said shyly, "I did that on purpose to make you happy."
Wei Miao picked up Wei Dong who was climbing up by pulling her trouser legs and put him on the rickshaw, saying:
"Let's wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Wei Ling held her cheeks that were pinched by her elder brother with both hands. The little adult sighed, and then he remembered something and said with more energy:
"Sister, Miss Xu is here today."
Wei Miao signaled her not to keep it a secret, and Wei Ling said with a hint of confusion:
"When Miss Xu saw Xiao Wu and Teacher Li standing together, she turned around and ran away. When she passed by me, I saw her in tears."
Wei Miao thought of Xu Manhua's bright and innocent face, and felt quite complicated.
It's a pity that she hasn't even figured out the emotions of a human being, even the affections of family members, so how could she understand these romantic things.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sister Xu Lan successfully went to work in a coffee shop, and Uncle Xu's family was very happy.
The cafe had dormitories where she could live for free, so she didn't have to run back and forth between the French Concession and her home.
By the time Xu Ayu forced everyone in the family to wear thin coats, Wei Ada no longer needed anyone's support to walk.
After breakfast, Xu Ayu sent the kids away and discussed with Wei Miao in a serious tone:
"Ah Miao, now that the weather is getting cooler, I want to make some dried tofu and sell it."
Wei Miao and Xu Ayu both knew very well that it was impossible for Wei Ada to pull a rickshaw again.
Twice she saw Wei Ada pulling a rickshaw, and he might have torn his wound after taking two steps. His face looked painful and sweat broke out on his forehead.
This month, thanks to the gifts from Brother Cai, our family has basically not spent any money except for buying groceries.
But there is a long way to go, and we can't expect Teacher Li to support the whole family with just a few dollars of rent every month.
She is good at making dried tofu. If she makes more, she can earn a few cents after a hard day's work, which is enough for her family to live on.
Wei Miao did not discourage her plan, but instead offered some advice:
"Mom, you can cook some eggs and vegetables in the dried tofu, and it will also sell for a reasonable price."
Dried tofu is a favorite snack of the people in Shen City, which is sold while being cooked.
A pot of authentic dried tofu often takes several hours to cook. When you open the lid, the rich aroma and unique flavor are overwhelming, making it a great snack or side dish for drinking.
"Can we put meat in it?" Wei Miao suddenly thought of the braised meat he had eaten.
She thought that if she bought some offal at the dock and added steamed buns and pancakes, it would probably be very popular.
Thinking of this, Wei Miao actually felt a little greedy.
It was rare for Xu Ayu to see such a childish look of greed on his daughter's face.
She felt sad, as her Ah Miao was only 11 years old after the Chinese New Year, but now he had to become the pillar of the family.
"Okay, mom will go buy some in a bit. Although I don't know how to braise meat, I can braise dried tofu. They are basically the same."
As soon as she finished speaking, a lazy voice said:
"Auntie Ayu, I know how to braise meat."
The mother and daughter looked towards the door and saw Lu Pingsheng wearing a black windbreaker.
His hair was still parted in the middle, his face was handsome and full of charm, and he was holding a duck in his hand, which really didn't match his attire as a rich young man.
"Brother Lu can actually cook." Wei Miao joked.
Lu Pingsheng ignored Wei Miao's teasing and gave the duck in his hand to Xu Ayu, smiling and saying:
"Aunt Ayu, I'm having dinner at Wu Ziyang's house tonight. Could you please make a duck dish of eight treasures? We only want half, and the remaining half can be used as seasoning money."
Xu Ayu was already used to his and Patrolman Xiao Wu's behavior, so he took the duck swiftly and said with a smile:
"Well, my family will benefit from it too."
Lu Pingsheng said: "I really know how to stew meat."
Wei Miao looked at him and didn't believe him, as he looked like he had never done any housework.
Lu Pingsheng was defeated and spread his hands and said:
"Well, actually I don't know how, but I know a recipe for braised meat. Even braised shoe soles are delicious."
Seeing that Xu Ayu and Wei Miao didn't react, he became anxious, "Really, I've been eating it for decades."
Wei Miao: "You just turned 21 this year, how can you have eaten it for decades? Is it in your previous life?"
Lu Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He smiled and was about to pinch the little boy's face, but was slightly disappointed when the boy dodged him.
"I must have been a gourmet or a chef in my previous life."
Wei Miao curled his lips: I was the Lion King in my previous life.
Xu Ayu held the duck and said quickly:
"Mr. Lu, we believe you, but this recipe is a family heirloom and cannot be shared with outsiders."
Lu Pingsheng laughed after hearing this, and said in a nonchalant manner:
"It's okay, Aunt Ayu, it's just a recipe that I got by chance, it's not a family heirloom."
Xu Ayu still waved his hand and said, "You can't tell outsiders casually."
Lu Pingsheng lamented the simplicity of the people of this era. He was not a cook, so why did he keep the braised pork recipe that he bought in his previous life to please women?
It would be better to give it to Wei Miao's family, help a family out of trouble, and let the little brat who likes to settle accounts owe me a favor. It makes me feel refreshed just thinking about it.
"Aunt Ayu, this is really not worth anything. I just heard about it. You have to research it yourself to see if it works. If it doesn't work, don't blame me for wasting your time and ingredients. If it works, you can just treat me to free braised meat in the future."
Now that things have come to this, it would be a bit ungrateful to refuse.
Xu Ayu agreed readily.
Lu Pingsheng winked at Wei Miao and said:
"I'll write to you when we go to Wu Ziyang's house for dinner later this evening."
Wei Miao bowed sincerely to Lu Pingsheng and said:
"Thank you."
Seeing the little boy looking so serious, Lu Pingsheng touched his nose guiltily.
He turned around calmly, waved his hand casually, and left in a very cool manner, and happened to meet Wei Ada who was taking a walk outside.
He stopped and looked at Wei Ada's complexion and said with emotion:
"Uncle, you are recovering very well."
Wei Ada knew that this was Patrolman Xiao Wu's friend, and he always remembered the care Wu Ziyang had given their family.
If Wu Ziyang had not paid the hospital fees and allowed the doctor to remove the bullet from him, he would have died long ago.
"Mr. Lu is becoming more and more glamorous, which makes the little girl dazzled." Wei Ada praised him sincerely.
"Uncle, you just love to tell the truth!"
After hearing this, Lu Pingsheng laughed and walked to the opposite door, knocking on the wooden door of Wu Ziyang's house quite hard.
