Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Chapter 20 The daughter of the Chen family, Miss Xueru!
The next day.

Silly Zhu took his younger sister to Xu's house in the backyard.

"Uncle Xu, Auntie!"

"Zhuzi, have you had breakfast?"

"Let's eat at home."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I have eaten."

"I'm going to make a banquet for someone today. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back at noon."

"Auntie, can I ask you to look after the rain for a day?"

Before Xu's mother could reply, Xu Damao rushed out.

"Don't worry, your sister is my sister, and my mother will definitely take good care of her!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then thank you, auntie."

"Actually Yu Yu is very good and obedient. Just let her play alone in the yard and give her a bite to eat at noon."

Xu Fugui: "Don't make whole grains for lunch today, let's make some noodles for Yu Yu!"

He Yuzhu knew that it was for Xu Damao's face.

But he still said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

Xu Fugui smiled and said: "You're welcome, don't you have something to do? Please leave quickly."

"Leave the rainwater to your aunt."

Only then did He Yuzhu feel relieved to go out, and then went straight to the Chen family in Zhengyangmen.

No need to ask, the Chen family is also a well-known wealthy businessman in Forty-Nine City.

Moreover, in Zhengyangmen, who doesn't know the Chen family?

Looking at the Chen family mansion in front of him, He Yuzhu felt envious.

Even if he has no education, he knows that the door panels of this wealthy family are all made of Hainan huanghuali.

There is also a pair of domineering brass lion handles on it!
There are also majestic stone lions placed on both sides of the stone steps at the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

He Yuzhu knocked on the door and made a dull sound.

"Squeak..."

Soon, the door was opened.

"you are?"

"Hello, I am the cook who was invited to cook for your house!"

"Oh, please come in!"

The person who opened the door had already received orders from the master.

What catches the eye is a majestic screen wall!

Then step into the wide gate of the house. On both sides of the gate are the inverted rooms where the servants live!
However, they are all vacant now, because the current situation is different, and wealthy families have also laid off their servants.

Even the ones who stay are the family's children, some old people who have been with the master's family all their lives, because they have nowhere to go, so they stay.

Such a person can be regarded as half of the family!
They are all the most trustworthy people around me!
Housekeepers, drivers, wet nurses, these were the most loyal people around former dignitaries.

In the inverted room, the female relatives lived on the left, and the servants and cooks lived on the right.

Then enter the front yard and walk through the vertical flower gate.

Walking along the Chaoshou corridor connecting every corner of the house, the east wing is on the left side of the house, and the west wing is on the right.The East Wing is the most expensive, followed by the West Wing.

The main court is the most expensive, followed by the middle court.

The courtyard where He Yuzhu lives is a courtyard with three entrances, but compared with this kind of well-preserved courtyard with carved beams and painted buildings.

They live in a courtyard house, I really can't see enough!The gap is too big.

Just like the difference between a slum and a rich area, the same style, but different floor space and decoration.

What's your surname, master? "

"He, He Yuzhu!"

"Master He, this way you go!"

The old butler led He Yuzhu to the living room.

"Master, Master He is here!"

"I'm going to trouble Master He today."

Boss Chen cupped his hands, and He Yuzhu also spoke politely.

"Where, where."

Because there were guests in the living room, Chen Gensheng said, "Take Master He to the kitchen, and try to satisfy whatever needs you have!"

"Master He, this way please!"

The old butler led He Yuzhu to the kitchen!

There is a living room between the main courtyard of the middle courtyard. The living room is the residence of the owner and his wife, and can also be used to receive guests who are not particularly important.

Or when a guest comes to visit and it is not convenient for the host to receive him immediately, the guest will wait in the listening room temporarily.

The existence of the listening room ensures the privacy of the main courtyard.

Behind the main house is the backyard, and there is a row of back rooms in the backyard.

He Yuzhu didn't expect that the Chen family would set up the kitchen here, but who cares, what does it have to do with him?
"Housekeeper, when is Boss Chen going to have a banquet?"

"Noon."

He Yuzhu knew what was going on and began to observe the kitchen.

The back room, which is a relatively comprehensive place, can be lived and used. For example, the stables in ancient times were set up in the back room.

Siheyuan with four entrances was not for ordinary people to live in in ancient times, only the royal family and nobles were eligible to live in it.

"Housekeeper, does Boss Chen have anything to say about the taste?"

"No, just watch and do it."

Looking at the ingredients, He Yuzhu knew it in his heart.

This chicken and mushrooms are obviously Northeastern dishes.

The prawn obviously wanted to eat Longjing shrimp, but the Chen family's main room had a lot of Longjing tea, so he probably wanted to drink tea for himself to quench his thirst.

He Yuzhu thought secretly, he is a fastidious person!

Pork belly, this is to eat Dongpo pork.

Looking at the various dishes and ingredients, the recipe appeared in my mind.

"Housekeeper, I have a problem!"

"Master He, please tell me!"

"These two stoves, I need someone to light the fire for me when I get busy!"

I am afraid that my master will think that I am too busy and pretentious.

He Yuzhu quickly explained: "Because dishes made with firewood have different tastes, you need to control the heat individually!"

"If it's just one table, I can do it by myself. I'm afraid I can't handle these several tables by myself!"

The butler listened and understood!

My master has guests over today, and the food must be of the best quality to be dignified.

"I'll arrange for someone to come for you."

Soon, someone came from the kitchen.

"Master He, this is my son, Hou Qingfeng!"

"Ask him to help you and start a fight!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm causing you trouble."

"Where, you're welcome!"

"I'm going to the front, if you need anything, just tell Qingfeng."

He Yuzhu nodded, and then began to get busy.

A lot of ingredients need to be processed, but Hou Qingfeng is not left idle.

"Brother Qingfeng, add water to the pot and bring it to a boil!"

"Okay, I will listen to you today."

He Yuzhu washed the pork, cut it into pieces, put it into the pot, and filled it with green onion and ginger...
Next are side dishes such as soaked fungus, mushrooms, and vermicelli.

As each process was completed, He Yuzhu began to cook.

"Miss, why did you come to the kitchen? There is heavy oily smoke here, you shouldn't have come!"

"Qingfeng, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"Let me use the bar mat!"

He Yuzhu looked up, and was instantly attracted by a beautiful face.

This girl has fair skin, noble temperament, tall figure, and two eyes that seem to be able to talk.

With every frown and smile, people instantly ignore everything, as if she is the only one in this world!
He Yuzhu felt as if there was a string in his heart, trembling violently!

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"what?"

Although He Yuzhu was reckless, he was a little timid when facing girls.

What's more, I feel guilty when I look at others so directly.

Qingfeng looked at He Yuzhu's eyes, a little unfriendly, but he still introduced: "Master He, this is the jewel in the palm of our master, Miss Xueru, our lady is hungry, take a look?"

He Yuzhu: "Let me steam a bowl of egg custard for you!"

Chen Xueru raised her chin proudly: "What's so delicious about egg custard!"

He Yuzhu: "You'll know it after eating it."

Because he wanted to make Longjing shrimp, he had marinated the shrimp meat in advance, so he couldn't use it.

He pinched some dried shrimps, put them on the egg liquid, and put nothing else, then covered the bowl of steamed eggs with a plate, and put it into the pot to steam.

Chen Xueru was also very curious, so she stood aside and watched He Yuzhu cook.

The main reason is that He Yuzhu cooks differently from other people. This guy started to show off his knife skills when he saw a beautiful woman.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment by looking at the carved carrots and so on.

Chen Xueru is not a girl who has never seen the world, but she did not expect that He Yuzhu and He Yuzhu cook so good-looking!
Soon, egg custard is ready.

"Try it!"

Chen Xueru took the spoon and tried it with a small mouthful, and then her eyes lit up.

Then like a hamster, the bowl of egg custard was quickly devoured.

"Your cooking is delicious!"

"If you like to eat it, you can let me know in the future and I will cook it for you!"

Chen Xueru said happily: "That's good."

"I'll try some of your other dishes during lunch."

“I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

"Ding, get Chen Xueru's mood value 2 points!"

After Chen Xueru left with her ponytail shaking, He Yuzhu still hadn't recovered.

However, he also knew that he was just a poor cook and that he was the daughter of a rich family, so he still had self-awareness.

If I am not good enough for others, I don't want to eat swan meat.

It's just that this girl is too beautiful, so I'll take a look at her more when I get a chance!

But Hou Qingfeng, who was standing by, felt very unhappy because he had been thinking about his young lady for more than ten years.

Anyone who has fantasies about Miss is his imaginary enemy.

"Ding, get Hou Qingfeng's mood value 3 points!"

He Yuzhu looked at Hou Qingfeng, it seems that this kid likes their young lady!

(I believe everyone is familiar with the stone lion. It can be seen on ancient government temples, palaces, temples, pagodas, mansions, gardens, tombs, and seal buttons. Later, it became a custom among the people. Today,

Many places of interest, large communities, banks, hotels, and even wealthy mansions still have this tradition of placing stone lions.

In the beginning, the lion was exclusive to the emperor, but it gradually became popular among the people during the Tang Dynasty, and became the auspicious beast of the town house, which has a good meaning.

If you look carefully, you will find that the stone lions at the gate are in pairs and males and females are different. Generally, the male lion is on the left side of the gate, and the female lion is on the right side, which symbolizes the traditional Chinese etiquette and philosophy of male left and female right .

The male lion steps on the ball, fierce and mighty, symbolizing power and status, and also implies that the men in the family are as healthy as soldiers in the army.

After the male and female lions are placed, they will advance and retreat together with life and death. If one of them is damaged, it must be replaced in pairs. )
