The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 71 Liquor Chocolate

Liu Hua ate the meatballs until his belly was full. To be honest, today is the only day that ordinary people can get some good food throughout the year.

When Liu Hua was eating, there were often children playing around him. Liu Hua looked at them with a smile and then gave each of them a meatball. Just one meatball could make these children happy for a long time.

After eating so much food from Sha Zhu, he had to return the favor. Liu Hua used his points to exchange for some candies, all of which were the best quality at the time.

Chocolate, a specialty of Shanghai, is chocolate with wine filling. The most amazing thing is that the wine filling is not made of ordinary wine, but good wines such as Moutai and Fenjiu.

This kind of candy is not available to ordinary people, not even Liu Hua, and even his parents may not be able to buy it.

"Not much." Liu Hua handed the paper bag to Sha Zhu: "Don't be picky, this stuff is too popular. If it weren't for my childhood friend who has some ability, I wouldn't be able to get even half a pound."

Shazhu has never seen chocolate with liquor filling. This thing is more popular in the south these days. Not many people in the north have seen it. Some people even think that eating chocolate is bourgeois.

Sha Zhu asked curiously: "What is that?"

"Chocolate with liquor filling." Liu Hua said with a smile, "Don't underestimate this chocolate, but the liquor filling inside is good liquor like Maotai or Zhuyeqing."

"Wow, the good wine that I usually don't want to drink is actually filled with sugar. This is a good thing. I have to save it and enjoy it slowly."

Sha Zhu wiped his hands, took the paper bag, turned it over and over to look at it curiously, and then shouted into the house: "Feng'er, Feng'er."

Han Yufeng was cleaning the house. She came out with her sleeves rolled up and said neatly, "What are you doing? Why are you yelling when you can't just fry the meatballs properly?"

"Silly Zhu, your wife is much more powerful than you."

Sha Zhu nodded: "Yes, I am being cured now."

Han Yufeng walked over to the big pot and said with disdain, "It's been half an hour, and only a little bit has been fried."

Sha Zhu pointed at Liu Hua and said, "Hua Zi, you made two big bowls for me right away. How many meatballs are there for him to eat?"

"I don't eat for nothing."

Sha Zhu shook the paper bag and said, "Hua Zi gave it to me. It's a chocolate with a liquor filling. Have you ever tried it?"

"Chocolate with liquor filling?" Han Yufeng looked at it curiously: "I've never seen it before."

She peeled one neatly, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully: "Hmm, not bad, quite sweet, the wine is also good, more fragrant than Sanbai."

"Feelings." Sha Zhu said ostentatiously, "The liquor inside is all good liquors like Maotai and Fenjiu. I usually can't bear to buy them. I'm so happy to have Lao Baigan."

When I rode my bike home in the afternoon, my mother was mixing meat filling and preparing to fry meatballs at home. Liu Hua washed his hands and came up to help.

"Go away and do nothing." Mom waved her hand in disdain: "I know you are an adult now, but you have no experience, so don't make things worse for me."

"You underestimate me." Liu Hua snatched it away and said, "My cooking skills are really good now. There is a chef in our hospital whose cooking skills are coveted by many factory managers around. People say that my cooking skills are not worse than his."

"Really?" Mom frowned doubtfully: "Then I'll let you try today. If you mess up, I'll beat you to death."

"Just wait and see." Liu Hua prepared the stuffing skillfully. He picked up a little with chopsticks and dipped his tongue in it. It was salty enough, but lacked a little spice.

Seeing that he looked like a decent cook, my mother nodded and said, "He looks like a cook."

When Liu Hua returned home, he brought a bucket of oil, a full five kilograms, and poured it into the pot. His mother asked in surprise, "Where did you get so much oil?"

"It's a prize." Liu Hua said as a matter of course: "In order to win me over, Li Huaide subsidizes me with a lot of bills every month. This time he also gave me a piece of tweed, navy blue, to make a Zhongshan suit for my dad."

"No, keep it for your own clothes."

Liu Hua waved his hand: "I don't need it. You bought me several sets of clothes before I went to work, but I haven't worn them many times. Make some for my dad. He is a man of status and needs to dress decently."

My mother smiled and said, "He doesn't need any more. Your dad wears police uniform all year round, so he doesn't need new clothes."

"Then make it for Grandpa."

Mom nodded and said, "Okay. By the way, your grandparents said yesterday that they wanted to have a good chat with you. Have you done anything recently that made your grandparents very happy?"

"I did do something." Liu Hua nodded: "But I can't tell you. My leader has reminded me to keep it confidential."

My mother smiled and said, "When I was at the base, I was responsible for keeping secrets for a period of time. I never thought that one day my son would be responsible for keeping secrets. It's good that there is someone to take over."

Comrade Lao Liu walked into the house carrying a bag and saw Liu Hua wearing an apron and frying meatballs. He smiled and said, "The sun is rising from the west today. Comrade Ou Yuqin gave up her position, but Comrade Liu Hua usurped power."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "I have successfully usurped the throne and successfully took over the family's big spoon today."

"Don't take on a job that you don't know how to do." Lao Liu put down the bag in his hand: "The skills in the kitchen are different from other things. If it doesn't taste good, it really doesn't taste good. Fried meatballs are an important part of the New Year. If you mess it up, we won't have a good New Year."

Liu Hua followed Sha Zhu's lead and scooped out two meatballs with a strainer and poured them into a bowl: "Comrade Liu, have a taste. I'll let you see the cooking skills of the home-cooked chef."

Comrade Lao Liu picked up a meatball with a smile, took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "Well, you know what, it's really good, Qiangqiang, let him taste his uncle's cooking skills."

The mother picked up Qiangqiang's pants and found a hole in them. She quickly looked for a needle and thread, saying, "You know how popular your grandson is in the compound now. He's dragging his cannon with him to play war games with his friends. Without him as the commander, the war can't be fought."

"Qiangqiang became the commander?" Liu Hua said curiously, "This is incredible. He was promoted faster than my father."

"That's right." Comrade Lao Liu patted his waist and said, "I have a Type 54 rifle on my waist, and he has a Type 60 rifle, suppressing me directly with firepower."

After finishing his meatballs, Old Liu frowned and said, "What did your grandfather want to talk to you about? Did you do something big at the steel mill? I don't think you could do anything bad."

My mother coughed and said, "Comrade Lao Liu, you shouldn't ask about things. Don't ask blindly. Remember to keep it confidential."

Old Liu looked at Liu Hua sharply. Liu Hua nodded and then shook his head.

"It seems to be a big deal, and it is related to your grandfather's profession." Old Liu smiled and said, "The old man should be happy, there is someone to take over."
