Ye Zhiqiu was surprised and said, "Second uncle, I can't go to Hong Kong often. Forget about getting an ID card and a bank account. Besides, even if you give me so much money, I have no place to spend it..."
"Silly child, are you afraid of having too much money? This kind of account won't be cleared out over time. As long as the bank is still open, you can come and activate it anytime. As for your ID card, I'll also get it for you. If you don't have an ID card here and are found, you'll be deported."
Ye Zhiqiu knew the reason for this situation. It was because there were too many people illegally crossing the river. In some places, it was too difficult to make a living, so they had no choice but to swim over to try their luck.
This kind of thing should not be a joke, it is the sadness of the times.
Since he made such a strong request, Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to follow his arrangements.
As for money, he felt that he would never be short of it! Because today when he went to Sheung Wan, he had already found a bank, mainly because he heard that this bank had a lot of gold exchange for foreign currency!
Ye Zhiqiu felt no psychological burden about the British-capital bank. Now he just had to choose a certain night to go for a visit!
Over there, Li Wenhui and her two concubines brought the servants and brought back the things they bought for Ye Zhiqiu. They arranged for them to wash them, dry them, and then iron them.
If you follow Ye Zhiqiu's approach, you won't care so much. You will wear new clothes once before washing them. There is no need to be so particular as to wash them before wearing them.
The person who carried the safe upstairs came down. The old housekeeper Ye Zhongliu was also surnamed Ye. He was Ye Zuze's servant and grew up with him, so they had a very good relationship.
He smiled and said to Ye Zuze, "Second brother, the cabinet is in place. Now let Xiao Qi go and set the password?"
Ye Zuze nodded and said, "Chengyun, let's go to your room. I've arranged a safe for your room. You can put your things in it. Next time you come, you don't have to bother taking them out."
Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused. It turned out that the safe those people had just carried was actually prepared for him!
But he doesn't need this thing. After all, he has space, which is better than any safe...
However, this was a kind arrangement, so he didn't say anything and followed them upstairs. Then, under Ye Zuze's guidance, they set a password that only the two of them knew, so that no one else could open the safe except them.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Uncle, this safe is quite big. I don't have anything to put in it."
Ye Zuze smiled and said, "Haha, you'll have something to put in it tomorrow! Your brothers and sisters, your third uncle and his family, including your sisters-in-law, will all prepare gifts for you, so you'll need something to put your belongings in."
"Huh? Is it really necessary to be so grand and expensive? Seriously..."
"Silly child, to you, we may just be strangers, relatives meeting for the first time. But to me and your third uncle, you, the newborn children of our ancestors, are our closest relatives, thanks to our ancestors' blessing on the old Ye family! We all share the same blood, and there's nothing in the world that can bring us closer together than this!"
In fact, people of this era have family-like emotions because they live in large families.
These emotions are something Ye Zhiqiu does not have. Whether in this world or the world before he traveled through time, he has never experienced such a big family.
It was not bad at all. At least he could feel that he, the eldest son of another branch of the Ye family, was not excluded by his brothers and sisters because of his arrival.
After all, aren’t all melodramas like that?
Big families are either fighting for the family property or on the way to fighting for the family property.
Ye Zuze pulled him back to the first floor and took him to burn incense and worship their ancestors again, because Ye Zuze said that they had to burn incense for a few more days so that the ancestors would recognize him as a descendant and bless him better.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't have any objection. After all, whether he believed it or not was one thing, but respecting other people's cultural beliefs was not a difficult thing for him.
And because of the issue of space, he is actually more of an idealist.
When they returned to the living room, it was already five in the afternoon. Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said to them, "I'll cook a few dishes tonight so that Second Uncle can see how good my cooking skills are."
Ye Zuze happily replied: "Okay, although it's not suitable to be a chef to make a living, cooking for my family at home is still a great thing."
Ye Zhiqiu entered the kitchen. It was really big! And they all had gas stoves, which were much more comfortable to use than coal stoves.
The coal stoves they used in the capital actually produced sulfur dioxide when the coal burned, which was really uncomfortable.
Nothing is as comfortable as gas!
After greeting a few kitchen chefs, Ye Zhiqiu was busy making various things. He made oil-soaked fish, which is actually just frying the fish, adding chili peppers and chopped peppers, and then stewing it. It is very delicious with rice or wine!
I also made spicy boiled fish fillets without adding peppercorns, and twice-cooked pork was also stir-fried according to the spicy version. Finally, I also made spicy chicken and sweet and sour pork.
The two chefs in the family both brought their apprentices with them. As soon as they saw the dishes cooked by Ye Zhiqiu, they quickly understood the method and even gave him some advice. He is indeed a master chef!
Generally speaking, people who study cooking may specialize in one cuisine, but that doesn't mean they can't cook other dishes! They just focus on the dishes of a certain region because, after all, the customers they serve are all from that area.
By the time so many dishes were ready, it was almost seven o'clock and everyone had returned, so Li Wenhui, who had been watching in the kitchen, began to arrange for the servants to serve the dishes.
Ye Zhiqiu took off his apron, washed his hands and walked out, then Ye Chengde called him over and asked him to drink beer with him.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care what kind of wine they drank, but Ye Zuze told them not to drink too much beer. In his opinion, beer was definitely not as healthy as white wine.
Everyone liked the dishes he cooked tonight. Maybe it was because they were novel. After all, they are quite different from Jiangxi cuisine and Guangzhou cuisine.
He didn't cook traditional Beijing cuisine either. After all, Beijing cuisine is actually Shandong cuisine, which is all made by various methods of Shandong cuisine. This is not quite right. It should be said that Beijing cuisine is a great fusion!
No matter what dish, when it arrives in Beijing, it's often slightly modified to reflect local tastes. For example, the Shandong cuisine dish of vinegar and pepper fish uses white pepper instead of chili peppers in Beijing, resulting in the fresh, spicy, yet not harsh flavor preferred by Beijingers. This dish has remained a Fengzeyuan signature dish since the 1960s and 1970s, demonstrating the city's fondness for this modified dish.
