Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Time can heal all wounds.

After two months, the residents of courtyard house number 95 have gradually recovered some of their vitality.

Aside from not having deposited any money, the residents of the middle and back yards were not much different from usual.

The courtyard had become somewhat quiet after the incident of Jia Dongxu's wedding.

Occasionally, a few words of arguing could be heard from the backyard and the front yard.

It gradually subsided as the residents became indifferent and heartless.

The deaf old lady and Jia Zhangshi both barely managed to hold on, but unfortunately they had lost their former energy and spirit.

Although Jia Dongxu had become somewhat silent after the last incident,

However, it didn't have a significant impact on his life; his mother was born in the year of the Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and prosperity).

The money given to her only went in and never went out; even if there was money saved at home, it was in his mother's hands.

Unable to afford expenses, they managed to get through the past two months with the help of colleagues.

Although people still occasionally point fingers at him, after two months of torment, Jia Dongxu no longer cares much about other people's opinions.

Because he was afraid of losing his position as the head of the hospital, Yi Zhonghai didn't stay in the hospital for very long after his recovery.

He went home to recuperate, but two months later, the injury on his arm still hadn't healed.

Even though Yi Zhonghai went to the factory several times trying to get his job back,

Because of the inconvenience caused by his arm, he was advised by his superiors to go home and continue to recuperate.

The factory and the neighborhood office covered all the expenses for my recovery.

After their previous self-criticisms, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui retained their positions as elders, but they lost much of their prestige in the courtyard.

The three stewards were severely tricked by bandits because of Jia Dongxu's marriage.

There have also been incidents involving enemy agents in the compound, and the residents have developed strong opinions against these three individuals.

Therefore, the three old men kept a low profile in the courtyard, fearing that something else might happen that was out of control.

He caused a scene that upset the residents of the compound, and then he started hurling insults at them.

Teacher Yan encountered Sha Zhu several times at the school gate, and each time she tried to get close to him in a friendly manner.

He simply wanted to improve the relationship and get some benefits out of Sha Zhu to soothe his wounded heart.

Sha Zhu just kept arguing with him and occasionally made some sarcastic remarks, which made Teacher Yan so angry that he cursed loudly, but he didn't get any benefit from Sha Zhu.

I just don't know why, after being insulted by Sha Zhu with his foul mouth a few times,

Teacher Yan, undeterred, continued to approach Sha Zhu. He waited for Sha Zhu to curse him a few more times before returning to school and calmly continuing his lesson.

Sha Zhu thought to himself, "This Yan Bugui has become a shameless scoundrel himself."

You've started to say whatever you want without caring what others think. Is this how a teacher should behave?

Liu Guangtian was whipped several times by his father using Seven Wolves whips last time, but he got away with it thanks to the help of the People's Public Security Bureau.

After that, I stopped rushing home after school every day; all the money in my house had been stolen by thieves.

Even the grain and cornbread at home couldn't be eaten casually anymore. Every day after school, after parting ways with the other children...

He rushed to Master Shazhu's house, and wouldn't go home until it was almost dark.

His catchphrase is "Come here and practice martial arts diligently," but even Sha Zhu knows that there's probably no food left for him at home.

Even if you just want to grab a cornbread, Liu Haizhong will spot you and immediately whip you several times.

Liu Haizhong said, "I can eat, but you have to let me vent my anger."

So Liu Guangtian would go to his master's house every day to practice martial arts and get a good meal.

They've become increasingly audacious. Sometimes it's already dark, and they don't even seem to be in a hurry to leave. It takes two reprimands from Sha Zhu before they finally behave themselves.

On Sha Zhu's side, besides Director Huang, the military representative of the steel mill, inviting Sha Zhu over to cook a delicious meal for his comrades,

She never went out to cook for anyone again, and instead went home on time every day to cook.

Please have Professor Wu and Reporter Li taste the dishes you prepared and compile them into a book.

Reporter Li learned cooking skills from Sha Zhu every day and gradually gained some insights of her own.

With Sha Zhu's permission, he adopted a pen name that included his own name in the newspaper article: Li Wei (美食菜, meaning food and cuisine).

Every newspaper's food column bore the pseudonym "Li," accompanied by a beautifully plated black-and-white photograph of a dish.

Below are the detailed instructions for making the dishes, along with occasional personal comments.

The source of the ingredients, the selection of seasonings, detailed production information, and the seller's name are all clearly indicated.

His colleagues in the editorial department laughed at him. It wasn't until he personally cooked two dishes for them to try that he stopped them from mocking him.

Two days later, it became known that reporter Li was giving up street interviews and preparing to become a chef.

The newspapers initially went unnoticed.

It wasn't until nearly two months later, when some restaurants' dishes appeared in the newspapers, that they attracted the attention of interested people.

When restaurant staff approached reporter Li and asked him to explain the source of the dish, he stammered and refused to say where he learned it from.

Sha Zhu had already told him that he was too young to bear other people's anger, so reporter Li Wei stubbornly refused to reveal where he got the recipes for the various delicacies.

It wasn't until one dark and stormy night, when he was beaten up by several masked cooks and ended up in the hospital, that Sha Zhu received the news.

Fortunately, it was just a superficial injury. After leaving the hospital, reporter Li Wei became even more reckless.

Previously, the newspaper only featured the recipe for one dish, but after I was discharged from the hospital, I added another dish to the recipe.

To avoid being tracked by the cooks, he simply handed the edited manuscript to the editorial department head, ensuring its timely publication, and hid at Master Shazhu's house, refusing to leave.

What kind of spirit is this? We had to wait until 63, with the teacher's inscription, to learn from Comrade Lei Feng.

Reporter Li Wei published the recipes for various delicacies to the public by the end of 51.

The menu includes dishes that ordinary people can easily make.

Even some of the dishes from the Eight Great Restaurants have detailed recipes and secret formulas listed in newspapers.

This brought Li Wei, a reporter, honor, but also led to a boycott from the restaurant.

So reporter Li Wei is currently experiencing a mix of happiness and pain.

She often complained to Sha Zhu, "Look at these big restaurants in Beijing, they say no one dares to hire me to work there. Even if I did, I would be beaten and kicked out. Zhu, what should I do?"

Sha Zhu, seeing the smile on his face, was too lazy to pay him any attention, and the beating he received was relatively mild.

Reporter Li didn't care that Sha Zhu was ignoring him, and said to Sha Zhu,

"You can pick up the book you wanted the day after tomorrow. Remember to give them the remaining money. I'm going to cook now, so you can taste it and see if my cooking has improved."

Yes, Shazhu has stopped drawing and editing the dishes these past two days.

Over the past two months, a total of 210 food recipes have been drawn and edited.

Through reporter Li's connections, a small printing factory was found to print 210 books.

I have no intention of publishing it as a book; I plan to keep it for myself.

The editor's name was written by Sha Zhu, who also wrote the names of his master Wang Yijun and Li Wei.

I wonder if my master will kick me out if he finds out.

Anyway, I planned to give a copy to my master, Wang Yijun, when I was about to move.

After giving one copy each to Professor Wu, Reporter Li, and my own martial arts master, I have 206 copies left, enough for me to be lazy when taking on apprentices in the future.

The construction on the house at No. 137 Nanluoguxiang has also been completed.

After the furniture was made in batches, Sha Zhu got the warehouse key and stored it in his spatial storage.

I've arranged to meet with Mr. Zhang tomorrow, Sunday, to do the final inspection of my house in Nanluoguxiang.
