"Master, Grandmother, Uncle, and Aunt, here I come!"
Ye Zhiqiu pushed his bicycle into the yard, smiling and shouting at the top of his voice.
"Senior Brother Ye is here!"
"Brother, why are you here at this time?"
Unexpectedly, the first ones to run out were Wei Guo and Wei Hong. He smiled and replied, "Well, my uncle and a grandmother are at my senior brother's house tonight and we are celebrating the festival together.
So I can’t come over for dinner tonight, I can only send the holiday gift over first!
Stop talking for now, please help me carry the things. I also brought a bottle of honey, you can make a bowl of honey and drink it later."
By the way, I didn’t see my master Li Cuihua the last time I became my apprentice because she was taken back to Heishan Commune by her daughter.
After Chen Renfu returned, it was her turn to go there. They also took advantage of the fact that they could eat in the canteen and visit their daughter, which would reduce the burden on their family. So the two elders took turns living in Heishan Commune.
When she came back a while ago, Li Cuihua was quite fond of this disciple, so after a group of people came out, she took Ye Zhiqiu's hand and asked happily, "My dear disciple, have you researched any dishes recently? Show them off to grandma tonight!"
Ye Zhiqiu did not resist, because Li Cuihua was different from others. She treated all her disciples as her grandchildren.
He replied with a grin, "Auntie, I just invented a fried chicken recipe, but it's a pity I can't make it for you tonight! My mother's godfather and my aunt's godmother are having a reunion dinner at my house tonight, so I can only cook at home and spend the holiday with them."
Li Cuihua said with a look of regret: "That's such a pity! The pineapple meat you made last time was really delicious. Now there is no pineapple, and there will be no new dish of yours tonight..."
Ye Zhiqiu held Li Cuihua's arm and talked for a long time before he finally had time to talk to his advisor Chen Renfu. He jokingly asked, "Advisor, have you caught any small whitebait to fry recently?"
Because Chen Renfu was always catching whitebait, which made him very angry, Ye Zhiqiu simply learned how to make tempura, which is actually frying things.
He prepared the small whitebait he caught by mixing some batter and fried it into a dish. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be surprisingly popular!
Wei Guo and Wei Hong successfully changed their hope that Chen Renfu would catch more small whitebait instead of big fish!
If there are only a few of them, we definitely won’t waste oil to fry them. Only when we raise a lot of them will we make a dish like this.
Chen Renfu replied cheerfully, "Who am I? A master like me can earn quite a bit every day!"
Chen Yimin on the side curled his lips. If he hadn't seen the old man collecting other people's IOUs, he would have believed this bullshit!
He naturally wouldn't expose her, but simply asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Did Old Wu tell you about the National Day banquet?"
It would have been fine if this matter hadn't been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, Ye Zhiqiu became a little depressed and said, "Uncle Master, Director Wu told me about this. I wanted to go and watch the fun, but it's such a pity..."
Chen Yimin said angrily, "What do you think is so interesting? It happens every year. If you can't see it this year, we can arrange for you to go next year! We can only send a few people to join the joint team this year.
After the expansion next year, maybe we'll have a separate parade. Then I'll assign you as the flag bearer, letting you fully experience the excitement of the celebration. Isn't that okay?"
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips. He wasn't sure if there would still be a parade and celebration for National Day next year. After all, if it was a military parade, he wouldn't have the chance to walk through Tiananmen Square.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything, but he was so depressed because he thought that since he was already here, he might as well join in the fun.
Sun Lai Di saw the melancholy on Ye Zhiqiu's face, so she smiled and consoled him, "Haha, Xiao Ye, don't be so depressed! You're only nineteen this year, and you'll have many opportunities to participate in celebrations like this."
But if we don't treat them well enough and they refuse to help arrange the delivery of equipment so quickly, we won't be able to do anything about it!"
After much persuasion, the group of people coaxed Ye Zhiqiu into submission like coaxing a child. Of course, Chen Yimin also paid a price! For example, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to learn how to drive a car, and he promised to arrange for him to learn how to drive after the National Day holiday!
After putting away the things he brought, Ye Zhiqiu gave them to his two masters, arranged for the wedding banquet to be held the day after National Day, and told his master about it.
Chen Renfu sighed, "Alas, if Master was preparing a wedding banquet, the dishes on the table would have been a fixed eight cold and eight hot dishes! Now I don't know what to say, the tradition can no longer be maintained, and everything can only be made up."
Well, it depends on whose perspective you are in! If your ancestors were willing to endure hardship, then naturally you will feel that the current situation is not so good!
But if your ancestors came from a poor background, then now you have truly stood up and it is an era where everyone is equal!
Unlike Ye Tianya, Ye Zhiqiu had not experienced the life of a wealthy family, so he had no feelings about the good or bad of this era.
After all, his life in the future wasn't too bad. At least he could afford whatever he wanted to eat, as long as he didn't eat it every other day.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't stay at Chen's house for long because he had to rush home to prepare dinner.
Halfway through the journey, a chicken, a two-pound black fish, a piece of pork belly weighing nearly two pounds, two ribs, and a small pile of various side dishes were added to the backpack.
Ye Zhiqiu combined the ingredients at home and prepared to make kelp and pork ribs soup, braised chicken, boiled fish fillets, braised pork, and braised pork slices with tofu!
Then add some cold dishes and stir-fry some vegetables, and it will be a very sumptuous table!
It was already half past five when he returned to the door. There were a lot of sounds of laughter in the yard. Ye Zhiqiu parked his bicycle into the yard and found four or five aunties holding basins and filling them with tofu.
He greeted everyone with a smile, and an auntie teased Ye Zhiqiu, "Xiao Ye, do you want a wife? If you say yes, I'll send my daughter to you tonight!"
Ye Zhiqiu wasn't annoyed. Instead, she smiled and asked a series of questions: "Aunt, how much schooling has your daughter gone to? Does she have a formal job? Is she tall? Does she have a good figure? Do her parents have jobs?"
The series of questions completely confused the aunt who spoke!
Wang Xiaolan, who was cutting and weighing tofu, quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, stop teasing my son. He's not one to take a loss! Come over here and weigh the tofu. It's getting late. I need to go home and cook!"
"Big sister, I brought you half a pound of soybeans. Please weigh them for me first. I have to go back and cook."
"Mine is 8 liang, Sister Lan, please weigh it..."
Seeing the aunties who didn't dare to answer, they all ran to weigh tofu. Ye Zhiqiu could only sigh, how lonely it was to be invincible...
