Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

"Pillar."

"what happened?"

"My second brother and his friends have settled down in Hong Kong."

He Yuzhu: 'I've received a letter from you?'

Chen Xueru nodded: "Yes, my second brother found a job at Xiangjiang University. While working, he continued to study literature."

He Yuzhu: "Very good."

"Where do they live?"

"The dormitory is arranged by the school."

He Yuzhu: "This is inconvenient. They also took money with them when they left."

"They can't buy it on the top of the mountain, but they can buy it on the mountainside or in Clearwater Bay."

"Let them buy a house. If the money is not enough, you can give them some more money. Anyway, HSBC is still there and there are still channels."

"This way they can live comfortably and their safety is guaranteed."

Chen Xueru: "Okay, I'll send them a telegram."

He Yuzhu: "How is your father these days?"

Chen Xueru: "I was depressed and didn't like going out. I stayed at home all day."

He Yuzhu: "This won't work. If this goes on for a long time, everyone will become a fool."

Chen Xueru: "I can't help it. I can talk to him occasionally when there are business matters, but I can't take care of him at other times."

He Yuzhu: "Your place is big, but it's not popular."

"Talk to him and ask him if he's willing to live at home."

Chen Xueru: "Live in our house?"

He Yuzhu: "I'll live in the yard next door with my dad and the old lady."

"It's okay. Mr. Mu and the deaf old lady, they can both chat with Uncle Chen and relieve his boredom."

Chen Xueru nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and ask."

He Yuzhu: "You need to deal with your Chen family's assets as soon as possible."

“All the real estate must be liquidated.”

Chen Xueru: "I'm already dealing with it. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss. I understand."

He Yuzhu: "That's good. If your father comes to our house, we will sell our big house now."

"The bigger the house, the harder it will be to sell it in the future."

Chen Xueru: "I'm just afraid that my dad might suddenly want to go back to see me, and I won't be able to explain myself to him then."

He Yuzhu: "Execute first and report later. I will help you persuade him then."

"I didn't want to live like this in my life, but who knew they both had memories with them? Now we have no choice but to leave."

"We're all leaving together, why keep the house?"

Chen Xueru: "Zhu Zi, why should we wait? Why don't we leave now?"

He Yuzhu: "Hong Kong is too chaotic right now. Let's wait for it to stabilize for another ten or eight years before we go."

"Although there are fewer opportunities for development, what we seek is stability."

"Since your second brother is gone, we will find a chance to send away all our antiques and let your second brother keep them for us."

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Can you trust my second brother?"

"Aren't you afraid that he might be greedy?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Your second brother is just a nerd. He doesn't have the ability or the courage."

Chen Xueru: "What are your plans, Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu?"

He Yuzhu: "You have the final say."

"Hey."

Chen Xueru sighed, "I can't get rid of him, and he even came to me on his own initiative."

"We have lived two lives, so I won't make things difficult for them in this life."

"If they want kids, they can have them."

He Yuzhu: "You should tell them about this favor, so that they can be grateful to you."

Chen Xueru: "That's fine. Anyway, our family will never be short of money in the future. At worst, we can give them some when the time comes."

He Yuzhu: 'Oh, you are so generous!'

Chen Xueru: "I don't care about money that much, as long as I can live a prosperous life."

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow I will go to HSBC and exchange all the cash and yellow croakers in the house into foreign currency and deposit it into our family account."

The next day.

"Brother, get up quickly."

Early in the morning, He Yushui finished washing up, dressed neatly and went to his room.

He Yuzhu: "He Yushui, do you want to be beaten?"

"Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

He Yushui: "Brother, I want to go with you to see what the school is like today."

He Yuzhu scratched his head: "School hasn't started yet, there's no one in school, what are you doing there?"

He Yuyu: "Ah?"

"Don't you have any children?"

He Yuzhu: "I understand your desire to go to school, but you have to wait until school starts."

"Be good, go take a nap."

When He Yuzhu got up, He Yushui was still napping.

"Where's Dad?"

Mu Chunhua: "To appease Ai Min."

He Yuzhu: "Qin Huairu, go call him for dinner. I have to go to work."

Chen Xueru: "I won't be back for lunch."

Xu Huizhen: "Then I'll take it to the cloth pile for you?"

Chen Xueru: "That's fine, make some more for my dad to bring out too."

Mu Chunhua: "Yushui likes the steak you cook. Please make some more tonight."

He Yuzhu: "That's fine. Eating beef won't make you fat. Our little princess is getting fat as a ball now."

"Go buy some beef and mutton during the day. We have a large family and I'm afraid we won't get enough from the canteen. We can barbecue in the evening."

Chen Xueru loves drinking, and she was very happy after hearing this: "I'll bring some beer back in the evening."

The wine in their house is stored in large jars, so there is no shortage of good liquor at home.

He Daqing changed his clothes and happily handed the child to Mu Chunhua.

Mu Chunhua: "Dad, did Aimin pee?"

He Daqing: "It's okay, this is my grandson's urine."

The deaf old lady ate two eggs, drank a bowl of porridge, and put down her chopsticks.

"Madam, why don't you eat anymore?"

"I am full."

After breakfast everyone left.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the factory, Director Yang followed Li Huaide.

"Zhu Zi, did you make steak yesterday?"

"Yes, I learned a trick."

"Quick, do it again."

He Yuzhu: "Old Zhao."

"here I am."

"Go to the small warehouse and get the beef, and also get some of the sauce I prepared."

He Yuzhu: "Let's not stay here anymore. The second floor has been cleaned up."

"Go over there. That's where Big Brother's life will be from now on."

The group went to the small second floor.

"Director Yang, Director Li, Deputy Section Chief."

Director Yang: "Well, the security work is done very well!"

He Yuzhu: "Please rest assured, factory leaders. Section Chief Lin and I will be here 24 hours a day."

Director Yang: "There are many empty rooms on the first floor, just right for you to take a temporary rest."

He Yuzhu: "Yes, I plan to deploy most of the security department's forces here, so that if there is any accident, they can be there in time to stop and rescue."

He Yuzhu's idea was still affirmed by Director Yang.

When they arrived at the kitchen, He Yuzhu asked Zhao Jianshe to light the fire. He took out a frying pan and started to cook steak.

"Boss, how well done?"

"I can't eat raw food."

"Me too, I lose my appetite when I see bloodshot."

After He Yuzhu cooked the steak, he cut it with a kitchen knife for them to taste.

"We don't have Western-style knives in our factory."

Li Huaide: "That's easy. I'll ask someone to buy it. I can't expect Big Brother to come and use a kitchen knife on someone!"

Director Yang: "Don't mention it, it's delicious."

Li Huaide: "It's delicious, no wonder people like it."

He Yuzhu thought of the barbecue and asked, "Is there a reception dinner today?" Director Yang: "Yes, I wanted to tell you something. The leader is coming to inspect the factory. If he doesn't come at noon, he will come in the afternoon."

He Yuzhu: "What kind of food do you want to cook?"

"Mostly Sichuan cuisine."

He Yuzhu: "It's just right, let the leaders try this steak at noon."

Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, let's show the leaders that our factory is capable of entertaining Big Brother."

He Yuzhu: "Director Li."

"Zhu Zi, you tell me."

"I'll prepare some new dishes for you at noon."

"Lao Zhao, go now and ride the tricycle in the factory."

"Buy more beef and mutton, and see if you can get beef kidneys and chicken wings."

Zhao Jianshe: “Chickens are sold whole!”

He Yuzhu: "Buy ten chickens and kill them. Leave the wings, gizzards, hearts, feet, and heads to me."

"When chicken is served, it is stewed in soup or stewed with mushrooms."

He Yuzhu wrote a list of materials to Zhao Jianshe.

Zhao Jianshe; "I'll go now."

"Go, don't delay things."

"Oh, by the way, there's some dried tofu, cilantro, and onions, so bring some back."

Director Yang was puzzled: "Zhu Zi, what are you going to do?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes. I guarantee that everyone will be eager for the next meal after eating the previous one."

"Besides, Big Brother should like to eat it too."

He Yuzhu came to the door, sat there and started smoking.

"Section Chief."

"Deputy, deputy."

He Yuzhu took out the Daqianmen: "Will it work?"

"Yes."

"If you know how to smoke, just take it."

He Yuzhu walked around and looked around: "Damn, you all know how to smoke?"

"Go to my office and bring out two more bags. The brothers who didn't get any can share them among themselves."

"The section chief is generous."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Smoke my cigarette and do some work for me."

"Go to the cafeteria to find Director He and tell him that I want ten kilograms of white flour, three pieces of pork, and look for any vegetables that can be used as dumpling fillings."

After the security department brought the things, He Yuzhu pointed to the kitchen and said, "Knead the dough, chop the dumpling stuffing, wash the vegetables..."

"So many leaders can't eat it, so let you have a taste."

"Chief He, you are so kind to us."

"What bullshit, we are all brothers."

"You are the only ones who caught up here today."

Zhao Jianshe came back with a cartload of stuff.

"Director, what should we do?"

He Yuzhu: "Go to the cafeteria and find a few kitchen helpers. We'll need help here in the future. Find two more people to help you."

Zhao Jianshe asked tentatively, "Can my elder sister do it?"

He Yuzhu: "Okay, as long as you can work quickly and efficiently."

Zhao Jianshe went to find his elder sister Zhao Yali, and He Yuzhu told them to cut the meat into pieces and then marinate it themselves.

He Daqing also came with two registered disciples, otherwise he would have been too busy to handle the situation.

He Daqing: "Zhu Zi, you don't have enough manpower."

He Yuzhu: "I know, but you know how important this place is. I dare not use it if I don't know the ins and outs of it."

He Daqing: "Let the security department investigate and see if anyone with a clean identity can come to the cafeteria."

He Yuzhu: "That's the only way."

"I need at least three people to help me. I don't know how many people there are when Big Brother comes. In addition, the factory leader also needs to accompany me every day, and there is also an interpreter."

"Old Zhao goes out to buy things every day, so there is actually one less person."

At half past twelve, Director Yang's secretary arrived early, and the leaders could start eating after finishing their work.

He Yuzhu: "Old Zhao, give me the string."

Zhao Jianshe brought a large bowl of meat skewers and He Yuzhu started grilling them.

He Daqing heated up the oil in a pot and prepared things for He Yuzhu.

After He Yuzhu finished grilling the first batch of meat skewers, he started to cook.

The skewers were sprinkled with sesame, cumin and chili powder and served.

The leader in the restaurant: “What is this for?”

“This smells so good.”

Director Yang: "Boss, I don't know about this either."

The person serving the dishes was Li Huaide. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Have a taste, leaders."

Big boss: "How do you eat this?"

Li Huaide picked up a skewer and demonstrated: "Xiao He said this is called skewers."

"Haha."

The big boss smiled and said, "That's a very apt description."

"Well, it's delicious."

"Everyone come and try it, this thing is good to go with wine."

There were a lot of people, and each person got two or three pieces and ate them all.

Director Yang: "Xiao Li, go and get the pillars up a little more."

Li Huaide: "Director Yang, I'll go right away."

Came to the kitchen: "Zhu Zi, where are the skewers?"

He Yuzhu: "Brother Li, I can't handle everything!"

"Please bring the mapo tofu over first, and I'll find time to grill it."

He Daqing: "I'll help you bake it."

Li Huaide held a plate of mapo tofu and said, "Dear leaders, the mapo tofu is here."

Big boss: "I have been thinking about Xiao He's cooking skills in your factory for a long time."

Director Yang: "Zhuzi's Sichuan cuisine is indeed authentic."

"But what about the skewers?"

Li Huaide: "That thing needs time to bake."

The big boss said: "We have a lot of people, don't be impatient, good food is never too late, give the chef time to prepare it!"

"Come for a drink."

A plate of Mapo Tofu was eaten up in just a few minutes.

Li Huaide got up again and went to the kitchen.

"The Kung Pao Chicken is out of the pot."

Li Huaide was holding the Kung Pao Chicken: "When is the meat skewers good?"

He Yuzhu: "Two minutes, bring the Kung Pao Chicken up and come back to get it."

He Yuzhu sprinkled the seasoning.

He Yuzhu was grilling and cooking at the same time, and he was so busy that he got soaked all over.

Finally, the Sichuan dishes were served.

"Zhu Zi, let's go and make a toast."

"Okay, Brother Li."

The two of them brought another plate of skewers to the table.

He Yuzhu: "Big leader, we meet again."

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills have improved!"

He Yuzhu: "I was able to learn all this thanks to the leadership. It wasn't just the experts from Big Brother who came. The factory leaders asked me to take charge, so I went and learned a few tricks from them."

The big boss laughed and said, "Haha, you didn't learn these tricks in vain."

"I know their eating habits. Your steak and barbecue will definitely be popular."

He Yuzhu: "That's good. I was just afraid of screwing up and betraying the trust of my leaders."

Big boss: "Come, let's have a drink. You've worked hard."

After a drink: "Sit down and eat."

He Yuzhu: "You guys eat, I'll go and continue grilling for everyone."

Big boss: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

He Yuzhu went back to the kitchen, not in a hurry this time, and baked something else.

Then he asked Zhao Jianshe and his elder sister to cook dumplings.

He has to keep his promise to his brothers to eat dumplings. These people are his base, He Yuzhu, and he has to maintain them. (End of this chapter)
