A group of people looked at Ye Tianya with suspicion, thinking that he was talking nonsense!
Ye Tianya was defeated by the suspicious look. He said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and said, "Don't say that, you are the most stupid one in our family, right?
You are almost forty years old. You can't kill a chicken without making it run away, you can't scrape off the scales of a fish, and you can't even peel a rabbit skin as neatly as others!
If you were smart, you wouldn't have failed to learn these life skills after all these years. But look at us, even the second child can kill chickens and fish like a pro!
Besides you, who hasn't learned these things? So my mother is the smart one. If she inherited everything from you, there would be no merit at all! "
Wang Xiaolan smiled happily. She picked up an egg with chopsticks and gave it to Ye Zhiqiu, saying happily, "Big brother, you are still sensible and know how to talk. Don't pay attention to your father, you big fool!
When I first met him, he was a complete fool who had flour but couldn't even knead it! It's amazing that he survived all this time alone without starving to death!
Ye Tianya muttered something under his breath, but he didn't dare to refute it out loud. As a rich young man with nothing to lose, the most important things for him were studying and playing!
Even when I was in school, my family sent several servants to take care of my food, clothing and daily life. How could they possibly care about how these housework were done!
……………………
More than a month has passed in a flash. Today is November 18th in the Gregorian calendar, which is October 8th in the lunar calendar.
Ye Zhiqiu did not go to work today because today was the birthday of his master Chen Renfu, so except for his fourth uncle Cai Jiaxing who was out of town and could not come back, everyone else had to go to celebrate the old man's birthday.
At this time, the shortage of materials had begun to manifest itself, mainly in the form of food, meat, and various industrial products on the market.
So apart from the pork, which Chen Yimin got through his connections, Ye Zhiqiu was needed to help with the chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps.
Although he refused to take money, Chen Yimin and the other two had already stuffed twenty yuan each into his pocket and asked him to prepare five tables of food.
Originally, according to the number of people in the sect, two tables could have accommodated everyone by squeezing together. Although Chen Renfu and his fellow disciples were not on good terms, they would still send disciples to celebrate the birthday if they didn't come in person.
That would require a five-table banquet to accommodate everyone, and all the dishes today would be prepared by Ye Zhiqiu and his fellow apprentices. This would also serve as a way to show the guests how well their culinary skills have been passed down!
So today Ye Zhiqiu has to bring the ingredients over, and then spend the entire afternoon preparing dinner for the evening with his senior brothers who have taken leave.
The dishes Ye Zhiqiu is responsible for tonight are spicy boiled fish, fish-flavored shredded pork, and crispy fried chicken!
The first dish, boiled fish, was a showcase for a new dish they had developed. The dish, shredded pork with fish flavor, was something he was asked to make after everyone judged his cooking skills.
As for the third dish, crispy fried chicken, it was a new product developed by Ye Zhiqiu personally to show his innovation to his uncles and aunts.
Speaking of which, Ye Zhiqiu is just bored. He and Feng Xiaomei are making rapid progress now, and he can even hug her and kiss her on the face when there is no one around.
So every time they were on a date, he loved to feed her, and this girl loved fried chicken legs the most. So he often used up the chicken in the space, often frying two chicken legs, or chicken wings and chicken wing roots in the space, and storing the remaining meat in the space.
One day when he was bored, he took a chicken, removed the meat, marinated it and fried it like fried chicken legs, packed a lunch box and prepared to take it home to eat. He happened to meet Li Bicheng and Li Weimin who came over for a drink.
Then the father and son tasted the fried chicken strips and agreed that this crispy chicken could definitely be included in the recipe!
Then Ye Zhiqiu went to Chen Renfu to demonstrate it. Whether it was fried chicken legs or fried chicken strips, they received unanimous praise from everyone.
So today, Chen Renfu specially arranged for Ye Zhiqiu to serve these dishes, so that his nephews could see the newcomers and new dishes of their branch!
Ye Zhiqiu was sorting out the gifts at this time: a box of Daoxiangcun pastry gift box, two bottles of honey produced in the space, two bottles of export-oriented Moutai liquor, two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes with filters, a half-pound bag of tea, and a greeting card with a gift list written on it.
If the birthday gift is for people in your sect, as long as the thought is present, it's fine. It doesn't matter how much money is required.
But this time is different. It is Chen Renfu’s 70th birthday, and with guests coming, we can’t be too casual.
Wang Fugui reminded him: "After the banquet is ready, you should kowtow after the guests have arrived, and remember to say auspicious words.
When handing over a greeting card, you should present it respectfully with both hands. Regardless of whether the elderly are particular or not, you should do this. You are not doing it for your own family, but for others to see!
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Grandpa, I remember it. It's the same as what my master said! Both of my masters put a lot of thought into preparing birthday gifts, and they also said that money doesn't matter. We can't let the guests laugh at us."
Wang Fugui sighed, "Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath of air. That's the truth! From what you said to your master, it's obvious that these people don't get along with your master.
However, due to the rules of the sect, I have to send a disciple to celebrate his birthday. You younger generations have to earn back his face.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to learn cooking without serving me for three years. My grandson, you should be grateful!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded seriously and said, "I know, we can't be careless about this kind of thing!"
Wang Fugui smiled and nodded, then said to Ye Bailu, who was curious and wanted to see what Ye Zhiqiu had brought, "Don't look at it, girl. This is a gift your eldest brother wants to give to his master. I won't leave it for you to eat even if you look at it."
Ye Bailu said with a smile: "Hehe, I just took a look, I didn't say I wanted to eat it, Grandpa, you can't spread rumors about me like this!"
This girl is getting more and more weird. If you say anything about her, she will either say it's a rumor, slander, or fabrication. If not, she will accuse you of slandering her!
Sometimes it really makes people so angry that they want to bleed!
Sometimes Ye Zhiqiu couldn't understand what was going on in this girl's head! As long as it was beneficial to her, she would say one thing after another!
But people always have to grow up, and that silly little guy is growing up slowly.
After Ye Zhiqiu put his things away, he tightened his coat and said to the two of them, "It's very cold now. I left a piece of meat in the kitchen and covered it with a basin. Remember to tell my mother to cook it.
Don't wait for me tonight. God knows what time I'll be back. Just leave the door open for me. I'll be busy all afternoon, so let's go!"
"Okay, be careful."
"Brother, ride slower!"
Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand, pushed his bicycle out and rode towards Chen Yimin's house.
