Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

After spending some time with his son, Li Jiuzhou started preparing to cook.

Cut the ribs into pieces, put them in a pot of cold water, add some cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, blanch them, skim off the foam, two or three minutes is enough.

Then, remove the ribs and set them aside to drain. Next, add rock sugar to caramelize the sugar until it turns reddish-brown. Then, add the ribs and stir-fry them, and finally add a little honey-glazed star anise.

Li Jiuzhou made braised pork ribs with scallions, emphasizing the aroma of scallions, which requires simmering over low heat for about 40 minutes.

My son is young and has bad teeth, so something soft and chewy is easier for him to eat.

Little Iron Bull sat in his high chair watching his dad's actions the whole time, and his mouth watered as the aroma wafted out.

Every now and then, he would pat his little chest and shout, "Daddy, Niu Niu is hungry... Niu Niu is hungry..."

Li Jiuzhou would also take some time to interact with his son and tell him not to rush.

Fortunately, Little Iron Bull was very obedient. Although he was drooling with desire, he was still very well-behaved. However, he still needed some urging. With the delicious food right in front of him, how could he not be impatient?

Fortunately, his wife came over. Seeing her son's greedy look, she laughed and took a handkerchief to wipe his drool.

"Look how greedy you are! Go out and play with your mother, and eat after your father has cooked it." After saying that, she went to hug him.

But Xiao Tie Niu was absolutely unwilling and insisted on staying with his father. He didn't cry, he just struggled.

Bingbing had no choice but to give up: "Niu Niu, judging from your appearance, you'll inherit your father's skills sooner or later."

Little Iron Ox clapped his hands happily upon hearing this: "Good, good, good, let's learn a skill, let's learn a skill..."

Li Jiuzhou chuckled when he heard his wife say that:

"Hahaha... Honey, what can he understand at such a young age? He can do whatever he wants when he grows up. It's still a long way off."

However, what he was really thinking was: "I have a ton of silver dollars and ancient coins, and quite a few antiques and paintings."

"I'm afraid my son won't be able to work as a cook in the future, and he won't go to the countryside either. The Li family has strong connections, so it won't be difficult for him to find a good job."

Everything will be easier after reform and opening up.

Of course, if his son wants to use his money to go abroad in the future, that's a different story, and Li Jiuzhou wouldn't mind breaking his legs.

If he dares to go out, Li Jiuzhou will dare to give him all the coins and leave him nothing.

Li Jiuzhou wasn't trying to condemn everyone outright, but rather because too many people went abroad and never returned after the reform and opening up.

Having witnessed the prosperity of the outside world, one feels that their own home is backward. This kind of thinking is terrifying; it means they don't even care about their ancestors.

Li Jiuzhou wouldn't allow it, and he wouldn't go. Even though he was wealthy when he was a head chef in his previous life and had exchanged culinary skills abroad, he never had the idea of ​​going abroad to broaden his horizons.

What good is seeing the world and broadening one's horizons?

To be honest, it's just so-so...

Some people have never left the county or even the town in their entire lives. Does that mean they have a very limited perspective?

Believe it or not, you think you can talk about international affairs better than others?

If I get really angry, a punch would be the least of my worries.

It's true that I can't out-argue you, but I do know a little bit of martial arts.

China is a vast and resource-rich land, and its talented people emerge continuously from generation to generation, with outstanding individuals in every field.

Traveling abroad is fine, but if you want to settle down overseas, then you should just pretend your son is gone. Li Jiuzhou also wants to be a traditional father, the kind of father who gives you the feeling of a mountain of love.

Little Tie Niu ate his lunch with such joy, his little face beaming with delight.

Just as the family was having dinner, a small figure slipped in through the door. Li Jiuzhou took a closer look and recognized it as Xiaobanggeng.

He was half a year older than his son Tie Niu and could walk long ago. At lunchtime, he was so tempted by the aroma coming from the front yard that he became completely dazed.

While her parents and grandmother were busy, she sneaked out and followed the smell into the Li family's kitchen.

Shanhe got up and walked out of the kitchen. He went to check the house and then to the yard, but he couldn't see Jia Zhangshi and Tong Jie at all.

So he hurried back to the kitchen: "Holy crap, brother, sister-in-law, there's no one outside. Could that kid Banggeng have come alone?"

The couple exchanged a surprised glance, and Li Jiuzhou thought it was very likely that Bang Geng had come on his own.

He thought to himself, "No wonder he's Jia Zhangshi's grandson; this dog's nose is indeed very sharp."

So he asked, "Bang Geng, did you come here by yourself?"

The little rascal didn't understand any of this. He'd already found the place, and all he could think about now was meat. He raised his little head, pointed at the dishes on the table, and said in his childish voice, "Meat, smells good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a trickle of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha..." The three people in the kitchen, except for Little Iron Ox, all laughed.

Li Jiuzhou might view the grown-up curly-haired boy with prejudice, but he really couldn't bring himself to be cruel to a little radish-head who had just learned to walk.

He now has a father, mother, and grandmother, as well as two loving grandparents and grandparents. He is living a very happy life.

The original drama started with Bang stealing soy sauce from a steel mill; he was chubby and cute.

In a later episode, Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang were instigated by Xu Damao to tie up the stick and even cursed his mother as a slut in front of him.

It can be described as an utter disgrace, the ultimate insult. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them; why make things so difficult for a child without a father?

As a result, instead of seeking revenge on Xu Damao, Liu Guangfu, and Yan Jiekuang, Banggeng actually transferred all his hatred to Shazhu, who had been kind to him for so many years.

In this respect, it's no exaggeration to call him an ingrate.

Recalling this, Li Jiuzhou shook his head and waved to the stick:

"You little brat, come here."

Seeing this, Xiao Banggeng quickly stepped forward and looked at Li Jiuzhou with expectant eyes.

Li Jiuzhou smiled slightly:

"You only get food if you call me 'uncle,' so you have to be polite!"

"Uncle~" Banggeng called out obediently.

"Hehe..." Li Jiuzhou picked up two pieces of pork ribs, blew on them to cool them down, and then picked up a stalk of pork.

"Go home, or your parents will worry."

After receiving the stick, Xiao Banggeng smiled brightly and even thanked him.

"Thank you, Uncle..."

Li Jiuzhou nodded slightly and waved his hand: "Go on, go home and find your father."

Seeing this, the little stick stalk walked away on its short legs again.

Little Tie Niu watched the whole thing, his innocent eyes filled with curiosity, and then he shouted to his father:

"Uncle, I want one too!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuzhou was speechless, and couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"I'm your father!"

Bingbing and Shanhe witnessed this scene and burst into laughter so hard they could barely stand up straight.

Seeing his mother and second uncle laughing, Little Iron Ox laughed too, clapping his hands and shouting to Li Jiuzhou, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"Hahahaha..." The Li family kitchen instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

Meanwhile, the three adults in the Jia family were unaware that Banggeng had disappeared.

When Jia Dongxu returned from his master Yi Zhonghai's house, he discovered that his son was missing, and he turned pale with fright.

Just as the three were about to go look for it, they saw Xiaobanggeng slowly walking back, seemingly carrying something in his hand.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were really scared. The stick had slipped away right under their noses. They vowed to keep a closer eye on it in the future.
