Chapter 524 Tang Yuzhi
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, Uncle Li came over with his wife.
"Cousin, this is your sister-in-law Tang Yuzhi."
Tang Yuzhi was extremely warm when she saw Old Lady Shang.
"I've heard Old Li talk about my cousin for decades, and now I finally see her in person."
As she spoke, Tang Yuzhi came closer to Old Lady Shang and said, "Old Sister, now that you've moved in, Old Li finally has a relative who can move around. He doesn't have to go to the alley entrance to play chess all day out of boredom."
Uncle Li saw his wife bringing up his chess playing again, and said unhappily, "How does my chess playing bother you?"
Tang Yuzhi pouted: "Tsk, your chess skills are not good enough, you lose every day, and you come back with a stern face, as if I owe you a lot of money."
Uncle Li was unconvinced: "I was just angry. I always find ways to turn the tables after I lose."
Seeing that her cousin and his wife were about to quarrel, Mrs. Shang quickly changed the subject.
"Erzhu, I remember you're the best at killing chickens, so it's a good opportunity for you to help."
Uncle Li rolled his eyes at Tang Yuzhi, then said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my cousin still remembered that I could kill chickens!"
"How could I possibly forget this? When I asked you to come to my shop to learn how to cook, you couldn't do a single thing, but your skill in butchering a chicken was second to none."
As the two were talking, Old Lady Shang had already taken out a kitchen knife and handed it to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li went to kill a chicken, while Shang Ruoting and Tang Yuzhi went to the kitchen to help Old Lady Shang prepare other ingredients.
Tan Chen was not idle either, he ran to chop firewood.
Tang Yuzhi knew that the person who could afford such a big yard must be very rich, but she didn't expect that he was actually a relative of hers.
Nowadays, when I see other people’s yards being tidied up like those of the wealthy families of the past, I am truly envious.
Their house was also a courtyard house of the same size. Apart from the main room where the old couple lived, they only left one room and a kitchen for the children, and the rest were rented out.
Because there are so many people living there, the yard is full of debris and looks messy. Compared with this yard, there is a world of difference.
Tang Yuzhi also heard that on the day the house was sold, the tenants in the yard made a commotion.
At that time, she still didn't quite understand the actions of Tan Chen and his wife. They were so foolish as to drive away so many stable tenants. It was a pity to leave so many rooms empty. It was as if they had a grudge against money.
As a result, after seeing the decorations in the yard and the room, Tang Yuzhi no longer had such thoughts.
It would be a shame to rent out such a nice house.
Just as she was envious of the beauty of Shang Ruoting's new house, Tang Yuzhi was shocked by the ingredients in the kitchen.
In addition to the chickens and ducks that Uncle Li is processing outside, there are also meat, eggs and various vegetables here.
Isn’t this housewarming party too extravagant?
This is the capital after all. Although supplies are a bit scarce, the food is still much more abundant than in other provinces and cities.
It’s just that it’s rare to see so many good ingredients gathered together for a banquet, and I’ve never seen it before.
"Old sister, your life is so enviable. As your only granddaughter, you are so capable. I believe you can eat these often, right?"
Since living with her granddaughter, Old Lady Shang has indeed never had to worry about delicious food, but she has just met this cousin and does not understand her true nature, so Old Lady Shang does not want to say too much.
"Haha, that's not what you said. Tingting and the others are inviting relatives and friends tomorrow, so naturally we have to prepare something good. We usually eat the same food as everyone else."
Tang Yuzhi is very nimble and quick-witted, and it's obvious that she's used to working.
While busy picking vegetables, she said, "Old sister, you are so modest. Tingting's family must be well off to be able to buy such a big house."
Old Mrs. Shang had nothing to say. What the other person said was absolutely true. Who would believe that he could come up with 20,000 yuan to buy a house and said he had no money?
We simply changed the subject and talked about Uncle Li and his family's life in the capital.
When I have someone to chat with, time doesn’t seem to pass slowly while I’m working.
Everyone was busy chatting while preparing the ingredients that needed to be processed in advance, and then coating the chickens and ducks with Li's secret marinade.
Because the episode of Mrs. Shang and Uncle Li recognizing each other as relatives took some time, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening when everything was ready.
Old Mrs. Shang simply fried a few side dishes and everyone sat together to eat some.
Uncle Li's face was filled with happiness: "Cousin, I never thought that I would be able to eat your cooking in my lifetime. It's as delicious as always."
Old Mrs. Shang never thought that her cooking skills would be tasted by so many people. She thought she would die in Sihe Village and would never have a chance to make a name for herself.
Ever since Tingting and Tan Chen got married, all the things she never dared to hope for have come true one by one.
