I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 408: Night talk
When Yuan Chongming came to Yu Haitang with half a bag of palm-sized fish, he had not yet spoken.

Yu Haitang waved his hand to him: "Just make your fish a side dish later. I have found the main dishes and ingredients. You don't have to worry about it. Just concentrate on welcoming the guests and taking care of the scene. "

Yuan Chongming hadn't invited him over yet, so he was confused. He asked curiously: "What have you prepared?"

The main reason is that Yu Haitang seemed very confident when he spoke, which was completely different from his state a few days ago. This meant that he had obviously prepared something good.

Yuan Chongming knew very well how tight supplies were now. Because of this, he was curious about what Yu Haitang had obtained and where he had obtained it.
Yu Haitang said with a smile: "Each table has eight hot and four cold dishes. There are 12 dishes and 8 meat dishes. There are also a lot of chicken, duck, fish, eggs and pork. There are also a lot of mountain products. The staple food on the table is rice and white flour steamed buns."

Yuan Chongming couldn't believe his ears. He thought that Yu Haitang must be bragging. As for the things he just said, let alone a banquet now, he would not be willing to buy them when he took them to a restaurant to eat.

Yu Haitang looked at Yuan Chongming's dazed look and waved to him impatiently: "Go and do your work. I will take care of you from behind, so you don't have to worry."

She is now very confident about today's scene. With the things she brought today, let alone these tables of banquets, it might be possible to open a few more tables and increase the standard.

There is indeed a face today. All the relatives, friends and guests who were invited were overjoyed. Many people's eyes were red and the corners of their eyes were moist. They were thinking that their stomachs had been stagnant for so many years, and today's meal seemed to make up for it.

Yuan Chongming felt that everyone looked at him differently today. Everyone was much more enthusiastic than before. When he spoke, his words showed unimaginable friendship.

To be honest, it feels great. But he knew what was going on with him and felt guilty.

As she spoke, she took out 10 yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand.

Before he could ask in detail, Yu Haitang walked over with a smile.

Qin Huairu knew that Liu Lan's family situation was not good, and she and Director Li seemed to have had a falling out, so it would be difficult to find something to hold a banquet. She thought for a while and said to Liu Lan: "There is no need for us to do things in such a ostentatious way today." , just invite your relatives and friends over, set up two or three tables and have a lively atmosphere, don’t worry, I will gather the things for you, you don’t have to worry about it. "

Yu Haitang was very happy. Yuan Chongming was very worried.

Qin Huairu said: "What do you mean by helping or not? Who doesn't have a hard time? We sisters don't have to say anything in the future. From now on, we will still work together to make money."

Many relatives, friends and colleagues who came today wanted to know where the chef was. Many people who planned to do something asked to make an appointment in advance.

Liu Lan raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes. She calmed down and said, "We met at a suburban machinery factory. He is a third-level fitter."

Liu Lan looked surprised and grabbed Qin Huairu's arm, "You want to help me?"

Liu Lanhong nodded seriously, "Yes."

Liu Lan stroked the broken hair around her ears, smiled bitterly, and said with a forced smile: "But I can't find so many good things. As long as I can set up two or three tables casually, I'll be fine. Look at me." How to prepare."

Now he was really not sure where Yu Haitang got so many things that he didn't even dare to think about. I originally thought she was bragging, but when the dishes were actually served, it seemed to be even better than what Yu Haitang said. The main reason was that she originally said there were chicken, duck, fish, and pork, but she didn't expect that there was so much meat in each dish.

Liu Lan didn't feel any joy at all. She bit her lip tightly and shook her head with a wry smile.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, who are you marrying?"

Qin Huairu quickly discovered the anomaly and looked at Liu Lan with some confusion. She was about to get married, and it sounded like the person was in good condition. Why did she look like this?

Today, Yuan Chongming and Yu Haitang held a wedding banquet. Everyone was happy and returned home happily.

"Sister Qin, your craftsmanship is so good. It's all thanks to you today. You don't know that there's no one on the table who doesn't praise you. You've made me look good today."

Moreover, the chef's skills today are simply out of this world. Not only is Sichuan cuisine delicious, but Shandong cuisine is also hard to find fault with.

"Oh, that's good, level three fitter. Now you can have a smooth life, so you don't have to worry."

Qin Huairu looked surprised, "Really? You are getting married. This is really great."

While cleaning up the stove, Liu Lan hesitated for a long time, and finally said to the busy Qin Huairu: "I'm going to get married in a few days, and I want to set up a few tables. I want you to help me with the cooking."

Qin Huairu said quickly: "It's more, just 5 yuan."

Yu Haitang said: "Let me see, your craftsmanship is worth this price, absolutely no less."

Qin Huairu was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth. What else did you praise her for? She might be a little happy at most. If you praise her cooking skills, she will definitely like it very much. Yu Haitang praised her so much that Qin Huairu, who had an average impression of her before, now looked at Yu Haitang very well.

The two held hands and chatted affectionately for a while, and those who didn't know thought they were good sisters.

Not only were they given a lot of money, but Qin Huairu, Ma Hua and Liu Lan also took home a lot of leftover food. Qin Huairu kept five yuan of the 10 yuan, gave two yuan to MCA, and Liu Lan gave three yuan.

Ma Hua was so happy that he almost knelt down in front of his master. He worshiped Qin Huairu as his teacher and was laughed at by many people around him. There were so many unpleasant words for a while that he couldn't hold his head up.

But he was an honest man, and he felt that once he became a disciple, it would be a lifelong affair, and he would never look back no matter what. No matter how uncomfortable it was, he admitted it, but now look at it, he went out to make a banquet with the master and lost two yuan.

His monthly salary is only more than ten yuan. After working hard for a while, it is basically almost half a week's salary. Moreover, the chef didn't want any of the dishes he brought back, and gave them all to him. This time he took it home and the younger brothers and sisters had some to eat. He couldn't help but shed tears just thinking about it.

"Master, I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on, and I won't even give you a half-knock."

If the master hadn't been a woman, he would have knelt down and hugged the master's legs and cried.

He was really grateful to Qin Huairu, because what Qin Huairu taught was the true religion. Put him on the stove whenever you get the chance. Even though he cooked so many big dishes today, he fried two plates.

What’s the hardest thing about being a chef? It's an opportunity to get on the stove, especially in this day and age, when ingredients are hard to come by. If you can cook a dish according to the recipe, that's a huge favor.

Wait until MCA left happily.

Only Qin Huairu and Liu Lan were left.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Lan and said to her with a smile: "I'm going home with me today. Shazhu's sister's room is hers. She goes to work in the factory and won't come back today. Let's stay in her room and talk."

When Qin Huairu and Liu Lan arrived at the gate of the 95th courtyard, they saw Song Wu in a panic, taking Huizhen out on his bicycle.

"What are you doing? You are in such a hurry."

Qin Huairu asked strangely.

Song Wu was surprised to see Liu Lan, but he didn't bother to ask at the moment and replied: "We went to Yu Jie's place. She has a stomachache. Huizhen said she might be giving birth. Let's go and check the situation. , prepare to send her to the hospital.”

"Yeah, can I help too?"

Song Wu waved his hand, "No, you can just stay at home and look after the child. As long as Huizhen comes there, there will be no problem. Let's go now and won't tell you anymore."

Song Wu took Huizhen away on his bicycle.

Liu Lan looked at Qin Huairu's worried expression and asked, "Who wants to have a baby?"

Qin Huairu smiled: "Yes, there is a tavern proprietress over there at Zhengyangmen. We have a good relationship with her. She finally got pregnant with a child. Now it's finally come true. I'm happy but also a little worried about her. But it should be fine. , As long as Huizhen passes, nothing will happen."

Liu Lan asked: "That Huizhen is very skilled in medicine, but she looks very young."

Qin Huairu said: "It's very Ming. She is still our factory doctor. I will go to her when I get sick in the future."

Liu Lan felt envious when she saw that Qin Huairu had children and had a harmonious relationship with her mother-in-law. Looking at the neat and tidy house, she even felt a yearning for a happy life.

When the two of them were chatting at night in He Yuyu's room, she said to Qin Huairu in a very envious tone: "I really envy the life you are living now. I never thought that there is such a good thing in this world." Life. It’s not about having good food and clothing, but the feeling. Look at your mother-in-law’s tone and attitude when she talked to you just now, and the look in her eyes, plus the two children, both of them are smart. You're still sensible." Liu Lan's tone was filled with regret.

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "It's not as good as you said. Those two naughty kids are in a good mood today and deliberately try to please me. My mother-in-law is indeed much better than before. Now we are in a good mood together. With the support, life is indeed quite comfortable. ”

Liu Lan was silent for a while, then asked: "Is it because of Song Wu?"

Qin Huairu did not hesitate at all, and said in a pleasant tone: "Yes, it's all because of him. Otherwise, you know best what kind of life I lived."

Why. Liu Lan let out a long sigh.

Qin Huairu asked Liu Lan: "If you are willing to talk, tell me what happened to your marriage? Don't keep it in your mind. Let's discuss it. Maybe we can solve any difficult problems."

As soon as she said these words, she didn't expect Liu Lan to cry immediately.

Liu Lan's mood got better, and while crying, she told Qin Huairu everything she had done in the machinery factory, until Director Li suddenly wanted to transfer her back recently, and then something happened to Sun Chengliang.

In the end, she also made her own decisions, all of which were made clear to Qin Huairu without reservation.
