Chapter 1 Love in the courtyard(2/2)
"Why did Xiao Wang come so late today?" The meal times of the technical department and the workshop are staggered to reduce queuing time, so Qin Huairu asked.
Wang Zhong smiled and explained: "I was so busy all of a sudden that I forgot about time!"
There is no doubt about the charm of the pretty widow. As soon as she walked from the cafeteria to Wang Zhong, I don't know how many pairs of eyes followed her.
"Then you wait in line slowly, I'll leave first!"
There are so many people in the cafeteria and Wang Zhong is still queuing up. It is naturally impossible for Qin Huairu to keep Wang Zhong chatting.
After queuing for a while, it was Wang Zhong's turn.
"Hey, isn't this Technician Wang?" The person behind the window holding a big spoon to cook rice was none other than Sha Zhu.
"Brother Zhu!" Wang Zhong greeted with a smile.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Two corn tortillas, five steamed buns, half a portion of cabbage, and half a portion of tofu!"
"Okay!" Silly Zhu scooped up half a spoonful of cabbage and half a spoonful of tofu, and piled Wang Zhong's lunch box full. Liu Lan next to him also packed pancakes and steamed buns for Wang Zhong.
"Brother Zhu, Sister Lan, I'll leave first!"
Wang Zhong carried the lunch box, pancakes and steamed buns and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Sha Zhu.
"Xiao Wang, wait a moment!"
"Brother Zhu, what else can you do?"
Silly Zhu said quickly: "Don't be in a hurry to eat tonight, come to my house for a drink!"
Wang Zhong smiled and asked, "Brother Zhu, is something wrong?"
He shows courtesy when he has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief. The original person has no friendship with Shazhu.
"I have something to ask you!" Shazhu didn't even try to hide it.
Seeing Si Zhu being so frank, Wang Zhong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there in the evening."
In order to treat Wang Zhong to a drink, He Yuzhu specially left the early shift and went to the Dongzhimen wet market. He spent a lot of money to buy an old hen. Unfortunately, it was too late and there was no fat meat, so he only cut half a catty of lean meat.
Qin Huairu had just returned home and followed the delicious smell of chicken soup to find He Yuzhu's house.
"Zhuzi, where's the stewed chicken? Is the food so good?"
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must dress in filial piety. Now, although the little widow is not wearing mourning clothes, she is wearing plain clothes, a Jingchai cloth skirt, and no pink and white. Not to mention her handsome appearance, her figure is also very slim and convex.
The one with a curved back is very eye-catching.
"Hey, Sister Qin is here!" As soon as He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu, a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't this the one who wants to invite Wang Zhong of the front yard for a drink today? Don't get something good!"
"Invite Wang Zhong from the front yard to dinner?" Qin Huairu approached He Yuzhu and asked doubtfully: "For no reason, why are you inviting people to dinner? I haven't seen you two having any friendship at all?"
He Yuzhu said: "Hey! Isn't it Yuyu? It's been several months since graduation, and the job has not been settled yet. I thought that Wang Zhong was a college student. He made great contributions last month and received awards. Even the factory director
He came forward in person and not only praised him at the factory-wide meeting, but also rewarded him with a bicycle ticket.
Moreover, he has so many teachers and classmates, so I am not thinking of asking him for help to see if I can find a job that is easier and faster for my rainwater."
The smile on Qin Huairu's face faded instantly: "There is no news about the rainwater work?"
"There is a quota for female textile workers in a textile factory over there, but Yuyu has graduated from high school anyway. Wouldn't it be a pity to work as a female worker in a textile factory?" He Yuzhu said.
When it came to this matter, Qin Huairu also knew that this matter was not going to happen today, so she said wisely: "If it does, you will be busy first, and I will go back first!"
"You walk slowly!"
······
In the evening, when Wang Zhong returned to the courtyard, smoke was rising from every house. In the pool, several women were gathering together to wash vegetables and chat. The sound of stir-frying vegetables could be heard one after another, and the aroma of vegetables permeated the entire courtyard.
"Xiao Wang is back?"
The third uncle was tinkering with his pots of flowers and plants at the door.
"Third uncle, have you eaten?"
"Not yet! Xiao Wang is off work?"
"Just got off work!"
It was a cliché conversation. Wang Zhong parked his bicycle, pushed the door into the house, hung up his satchel, took a washbasin and towel to fetch water and washed himself briefly. He took out a small package of tied mung bean cakes from the space and headed straight into the courtyard.
Go.
"Where are you going, little king?" Yan Fugui had sharp eyes. He saw Wang Zhong walking into the courtyard with something in his hand, and he couldn't help but become curious.
"Go and hook up with Brother Zhu!" As he spoke, Wang Zhong had already crossed the second door and entered the middle courtyard.
"Brother Zhu!" Wang Zhong shouted loudly in the courtyard.
Silly Zhu's voice came from the room: "Brother is here, come in quickly, come in quickly!"
Wang Zhong opened the thick curtain and said with a smile: "This old hen is so fragrant, I can smell it in the front yard!"
"Can a rooster or a hen smell it?" He Yuzhu, wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife, joked with Wang Zhong as he cut meat. Next to him was the young and beautiful He Yuzhu, sitting by the stove watching the fire.
"If it were a rooster, Brother Yizhu, with your craftsmanship, you would definitely not use it to make soup!"
"Haha!" This flattery struck directly into He Yuzhu's heart: "As expected of a college student, he just knows how to talk."
"Why are you bringing something with you when you're just having a meal?" He Yuzhu immediately became polite when he saw what Wang Zhong was carrying.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It's just a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I don't like eating this thing myself, so I just brought it over for you and Yu Yu to try."
"Osmanthus cake?" Yuyu's eyes suddenly became bright.
"This thing is so precious!" He Yuzhu, on the other hand, looked at the oil paper bag on Wang Zhong's table and his expression changed slightly.
"What's so precious? Didn't the osmanthus flowers bloom a while ago? I asked my classmates to get some and make them myself. I took the gift as a gift and there are still some left." Wang Zhong handed the osmanthus cake to Yuyu and smiled.
Said: "Put it away quickly, don't give it to your brother!"
"Brother Wang Zhong, can you make sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Yuyu was very surprised.
Wang Zhongdao: "You're looking down on me. Not to mention osmanthus cake, I can make mung bean cake, qiong leaf cake, poria cake, jujube paste cake, etc. But I don't have the ingredients. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."
"Brother Wang Zhong, you are so awesome." He Yuyu gave a thumbs up and said with admiration.
"That's right!" Wang Zhong joked: "My cooking skills are no worse than Brother Zhu's."
He Yuyu glanced at his brother and then at Wang Zhong. Although he didn't believe it, he agreed cooperatively.
Listening to Wang Zhong and Yuyu talking nonsense, He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously. He moved quickly with his hands and had already cut the shredded meat and cut the side dishes.
Yu Yu brought the stewed old hen to the table, and He Yuzhu set up the iron pot and started cooking.
Not to mention, He Yuzhu's craftsmanship is really good. Just looking at his knife skills and mastery of fire materials, he can almost reach the fourth level. In order to entertain Wang Zhong today, He Yuzhu spent a lot of money and stewed a pot.
Not to mention the old hen, this fried shredded pork is also full of ingredients.
But after a while, a steaming dish of shredded pork with Beijing sauce came out of the pot, followed by cabbage. The simpler the dish, the more it tests the chef's skills.
Within three minutes, the fried cabbage was out of the pot.
Wang Zhong helped put the dishes on the table, Yu Yu went to the cupboard to pick up the dishes, and He Yuzhu cleaned the pot, put the hot water on the stove, and washed his hands.
"Yu Yu, go under the bed and take out my two bottles of Erguotou."
