Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"You call this incompetent?" Ran Qiuye exclaimed, "We can smell the fragrance in the backyard. Wow... Just the appearance of this dish is enough to make people hungry."

"Lin Shaowen, why did you lie to me?" Sha Zhu said angrily.

"I...what did I lie to you about?" Lin Shaowen was stunned.

"You are obviously very capable, but you always ask me to cook. Do you look down on me and are deliberately playing tricks on me?"

Sha Zhu was heartbroken.

He thought that he was inferior to Lin Shaowen in every aspect. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that every time there was an important event, Lin Shaowen had to beg him for help.

But I didn't expect that the other party would pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and treat me as a fool.

"Silly Zhu, what you said is not right." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Who are you? A direct descendant of Tan's cuisine... Can I show off my cooking skills?"

"But……"

Sha Zhu's expression eased a little.

"No buts." Lin Shaowen said righteously, "If you say that in Sijiu City, that's too arrogant, but in our Dongcheng District, if anyone dares to say that your cooking skills are not good, I will be the first to disagree."

"Lin Shaowen, Dongcheng District is going too far." Sha Zhu said with a smile, "But if we talk about our street and the steel mill, I really have no rivals."

"Hey."

Qin Huairu sighed quietly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"I'm really afraid that one day Shazhu will be fooled by Shaowen." Qin Huairu said helplessly, "Look, he was fooled around by just a few words. It's really pitiful."

"Otherwise why is he called Shazhu?" Qin Jingru joked.

Su Xiu and Ran Qiuye looked at each other, both speechless.

Do you believe what Shazhu said?

"Lao Lin, we didn't eat much at noon, why don't we have a drink together?" Xu Damao came over and said.

"Well, you didn't drink?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

"I didn't drink it." Xu Damao said helplessly, "Su Xiu said she had a cold..."

"It's just a minor cold. It's okay if you drink a little wine." Su Xiu said seriously.

"Uh."

Xu Damao was stunned.

Do women change their expressions so quickly?

"I feel better now, not so uncomfortable anymore." Ran Jing also smiled, "It's rare for us to get together, let's drink a little."

"I originally planned to go for a home visit this afternoon, but now it's past time, so let's go another day." Ran Qiuye said seriously.

"Well."

Xu Damao felt that he was injured internally.

So if you have a cold, are not feeling well, or have something to do... you can't see Lin Shaowen, right?

"Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangfu... would you like to have a drink?" Lin Shaowen invited.

"Thank you, uncle (father)."

The Liu brothers and the Yan brothers were very tactful and went into the house to move the stools themselves.

"Hey, Lao Lin, how come you have so many things at home?" Sha Zhu wondered, "This big round table...how come I've never seen you take it out?"

"Master He, should a chef have his own persistence?" Lin Shaowen asked seriously.

"My own persistence?" Sha Zhu was slightly stunned.

"You're a chef, how can you be interested in other people's food?" Lin Shaowen sighed, "This big round table in my house...if you didn't have time today, it would be useless."

"That's right." Sha Zhu said happily, "A chef should have his own persistence. I never use other people's things. Next time you cook, use my stuff."

"Hey."

The women at the table all sighed softly.

Especially with Yu Shui, he looked speechless and disgusted.

How come she didn't think her brother was so stupid before?

After everyone sat down, Lin Shaowen raised his glass and said, "Brothers and sisters, meeting is fate. This glass is in honor of our chance meeting."

"Cheers to a chance meeting."

Everyone shouted at the same time.

Ran Qiuye looked at Lin Shaowen's handsome face and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

How could such an outstanding man get married?

Su Xiu was very excited, "Cheers to our chance meeting"... this sentence was really well said.

Such scenes only appear in novels, right?

Ran Jing stared at Lin Shaowen intently, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Lao Lin, what kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?" Xu Damao suddenly said.

"Deer meat." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "My friend just came back from another place and brought me some..."

"venison?"

Su Xiu and the others were all surprised.

But they have never eaten it before.

Seeing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Lao Lin, do you have any extra? Give some to me..."

If we can get the venison, we can set up another party openly tomorrow.

Lin Shaowen didn't say anything, just glanced at Qin Jingru.

"There's still a little left, not enough for us to eat." Qin Jingru said immediately.

"Qin Jingru, Lao Lin and I are close friends, you shouldn't be so stingy." Xu Damao said unhappily, "Besides, when have I ever taken something from someone else for free? I still have two bottles of ten-year-old Luzhou Laojiao, can I trade with you?"

"Ten-year-old Luzhou Laojiao?" Qin Jingru was slightly stunned, then smiled and asked, "How much do you want?"

Although she had no interest in wine, Lin Shaowen liked to collect these things.

Although there is a lot of wine in the study, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the wine cellar in the basement.

"Five pounds." Xu Damao stretched out his right hand.

"Three pounds." Qin Jingru made a counteroffer.

"make a deal."

Xu Damao agreed immediately.

Qin Jingru felt a little regretful when she saw that he agreed so readily.

I should have said two kilograms earlier.

"I say, Lao Lin, I didn't realize... that you are henpecked?" Sha Zhu joked.

"This is respect." Lin Shaowen said nonchalantly, "Men work outside and women work inside. Isn't this normal?"

"respect?"

Su Xiu and Ran Qiuye were a little dazed when they heard this.

Ran Jing was even more stunned.

In terms of status and position, Lin Shaowen can be considered a big shot.

How could such a person respect a girl from the countryside so much? It was incredible.

Chapter 510 Yan Jiecheng’s Thoughts

"You are a couple, what are you talking about respect?" Sha Zhu disagreed.

"That's why couples should respect each other." Lin Shaowen said earnestly, "We men can't just show our good temper to outsiders and criticize our wives, right?"

"That's right." Su Xiu shouted, "Minister Lin, you are my idol... I toast to you."

"Can't talk about it, can't talk about it."

Lin Shaowen smiled and waved his hand, but still bumped into hers.

"Minister Lin, your yard is so unique. Was it decorated by your sister-in-law?" Su Xiu said with a blushing face.

"How can I do these things?" Qin Jingru waved her hands hurriedly, "This yard was arranged by your Minister Lin. I just watered the flowers and trimmed the branches..."

"Lin Shaowen, you have really good taste." Ran Qiuye praised.

"Of course, just look at Qin Jingru and you'll know." Lin Shaowen joked.

"Hate."

Qin Jingru patted him with a red face, feeling sweet inside.

When Xu Damao and others saw the two flirting with each other, they felt more uncomfortable than if they had eaten a fly.

Especially Yan Jiecheng, his eyes were always on Yu Li, and his mind was a little dazed.

It seems that the Yu Li in his memory does not look like this.

Yu Li is now wearing a pink long dress, revealing half of her white arms.

Her pretty face had become a little red because of the alcohol, and although her big watery eyes were half-closed, the confusion in them was even more attractive.

Her jet-black hair is no longer tied into a big braid, but instead casually tied into a ponytail with a red rope. She looks like a girl with the youthfulness of a girl and the figure of a mature woman.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Jiefang whispered, "Sister-in-law... I heard Yu Li is married."

"What the hell." Yan Jiecheng said disdainfully, "Look, she stays at home every day except for work. If she is really married...why has her man never come to visit?"

"Brother, you wouldn't..." Yan Jiefang felt a little uneasy.

Although he has a low level of education.

But every time Yu Li saw Yan Jiecheng, almost everyone could see the disgust she felt.

"We are a couple."

Yan Jiecheng, who had drunk two glasses of wine, spoke in a high-spirited tone.

"Well."

Lin Shaowen and others who were chatting were slightly stunned.

"What couple?" Su Xiu asked curiously.

"I……"

Yan Jiecheng took a deep breath, looked at Yu Li and said, "I said, Yu Li and I were a couple before, but we separated because of some misunderstandings."

"Yan Jiecheng, don't try to play tricks on me." Yu Li said in panic, "We've been divorced for so many years. Do you still remember that we were a couple? I'm telling you, I'm married. If you dare to act like a hooligan, I'll go to the neighborhood office and sue you."

She really wanted to see Lin Shaowen's expression, but reason told her not to.

After all, there are so many people watching, it would be troublesome if someone noticed something.

"Don't talk nonsense." Yan Jiecheng said disdainfully, "If you really get married, will you still stay with Yu Haitang? Doesn't your man have any objections?"

"He's working in the south and will be transferred back in a few years." Yu Li said seriously, "I like him very much, please don't bother me."

"How many times a year do you see each other?" Yan Jiecheng said angrily, "One is in the south and the other is in the north. Is this called marriage? What's the difference between you and being a widow?"

"My pleasure."

Yu Li was also angry. She slammed the table and said, "He is much better than you. I am living a very happy life now. If you dare to talk nonsense again... I will go to the street office now."

"Don't bother me."

Xu Damao hurriedly advised, "Yu Li, don't listen to Yan Jiecheng's nonsense. He drank two cups of horse urine and he doesn't know who he is. Come... let's drink."

"Yeah, don't listen to this kid's nonsense." Sha Zhu also tried to smooth things over.

It’s not that they both have good intentions.
