Siheyuan: Silly Zhu is not my father

Chapter 25 Family

He Xiao lay on the bed, feeling extremely comfortable and fell asleep directly.

He wasn't woken up until it got slightly dark.

"Son? Son?"

"Um?"

As soon as He Xiao opened his eyes, he saw Sha Zhu's big face.

I don't know if he was used to it, but he was not frightened this time. He rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed.

"what?"

Silly Zhu was in a good mood, and he said happily: "Get up and have dinner, try my cooking, authentic Tan family cuisine."

He Xiao was not hungry, but when he heard about Tan's food, he immediately became interested.

Taking a look at Si Zhu, he saw that this man was full of shortcomings, such as a good face, a venomous mouth, and a holy heart. But when it came to his cooking skills, he really couldn't be picky. He was a master chef.

The taste was simply amazing. He extended his thumb towards Si Zhu and said, "It's delicious!"

Fengze Garden, Hongbin Building, and Huifeng Hall, He Xiao wrote down these three places while listening.

Seeing He Xiao coming over, the first man snorted lightly and didn't look good.

"Oh..."

Glancing at the bottle, I saw a fifty-three-degree wine with a bunch of foreign language underneath.

Huh? Is this the sun coming out in the west?

"laugh……"

Everyone at the table looked over curiously.

There were eight or nine plates of chicken, fish, meatballs, ribs, large intestines, and some seasonal vegetables.

He was greedy, but he always felt something was wrong in his heart. This was too rich. Silly Zhu had no money in his pocket to buy groceries. Qin Huairu was in charge of the house, but Qin Huairu would be so generous?

"Son, what are you looking at? Sit down quickly and try my handiwork."

"Huh? Son? Why are you going?"

Rich, so rich.

He quickly picked up the wine cup, took a sip, coughed, and stared straight at Silly Zhu.

Forehead……

"This dish is Yao Ji's fried liver. The restaurant is located next to the most famous Drum Tower in Beijing. I washed pork liver for three months before I learned this dish."

"Bata."

"Son, do you want some too?"

The old man waved his hand, then picked up the Red Star and poured himself a glass.

"Hey, you have a really good drinking capacity today."

Some people can drink his wine, but some people can't. Give it to Yi Zhonghai?

Come on, this man even scolded him for being uneducated in the morning. He wasn't seriously ill, so he didn't know how to repay kindness with kindness.

There are already many people sitting at the feldspar table, including the five members of the Jia family and the first uncle.

Next to me, the old man looked straight at it. He still recognized the two characters Moutai on the bottle.

"Son, look, Zaolu Sanbai is a famous dish of Fengze Garden. It was through this that your grandfather became famous in the garden."

As soon as it entered his mouth, his eyes lit up.

Silly Zhu was so happy that he picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour a glass for the uncle.

Sha Zhu was talking happily, and He Xiao listened attentively, but Qin Huairu on the side couldn't listen anymore, and she quickly interrupted what Sha Zhu was saying.

Qin Huairu on the side was very enthusiastic. Seeing He Xiao coming, she stood up and greeted quickly:

"He Xiao, sit down quickly. Your dad has been busy all afternoon and has cooked so many dishes. Sit down and try some."

Looking at the workmanship and presentation, you can tell it is a famous dish.

He Xiao was not in a hurry, he smashed his mouth and thought about it.

Don't let his son pour the wine, he quickly took over and poured himself a glass.

Moutai, this is Moutai that my son bought at the Friendship Store for 25 yuan in foreign exchange coupons. The food on his table was not as expensive as the wine.

"hiss……"

"Hey, look at me, okay, stop talking, let's start eating."

He poured himself a glass, then looked at Shazhu, "Want to drink?"

He Xiao grabbed the Maotai wine, clicked and closed the lid.

He Xiao didn't refuse this dish because it suited his appetite. He took his chopsticks and picked up the oxtail.

Returning to his seat, He Xiao unscrewed the lid and smelled it specifically. Well, there was a strong smell of liquor.

"Hiss, good wine, son, eat vegetables and try my craftsmanship."

These three places must be famous stores in the capital, and he must try them when he has time.

"This third dish is called Nine-turn Large Intestine. It is a famous dish of Huifengtang. Back then..."

He Xiao sat down.

"Um?"

Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment and saw his son running back to the house. After a while, he came out holding a milky white bottle.

"Hey, son, try this braised oxtail again, this is my special skill."

This oxtail is even more delicious than the large intestine just now.

"Oh, how could you miss this?"

He Xiao sneered, "Listen to these words, you are really bright and majestic. Yi Zhonghai just loves to dress up, so fake!"

Silly Zhu said hello, raised the wine cup and touched it with the uncle, and then extended it to his son.

Everyone else on the table was eating big mouthfuls of food. He Xiao took a look, picked up a piece of large intestine with chopsticks.

It was uncomfortable for Silly Zhu to be sandwiched between the two of them.

"Ahem, son, how about I pour you a glass? Just one glass?"

"The second dish is braised oxtail. I learned it from my master chef when I was an apprentice at Hongbin Tower."

Silly Zhu was startled and felt a little excited.

He Xiao picked up the wine cup and touched it with Silly Zhu, then took a sip.

"No, Silly Zhu, there's no need. I'm old and can't get used to drinking other kinds of wine. I just love Erguotou, the red star in the capital. I won't forget my roots!"

Look at the red star in your own cup, and then look at other people’s Moutai...

After washing his face, he followed Shazhu to the yard.

The old man's face turned dark immediately, and the wine cup in his hand fell heavily on the table.

Seeing his son sit down, Shazhu was a little embarrassed. He pointed at the dishes on the stone table and introduced them.

Silly Zhu was very embarrassed. He raised his hands and didn't know what to do.

"Okay, okay, if I keep talking, the dishes will get cold."

Silly Zhu has no other addiction, just a sip of this. If you encounter such an expensive wine, you have to try it.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat, otherwise the dishes will get cold."

After taking another sip, he picked up the chopsticks.

Silly Zhu picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a glass for the uncle, and then looked at He Xiao.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it, because he had never drank such expensive wine in his previous life.

"Wait for me for a while."

He Xiao was a little moved and glanced at the white wine in Silly Zhu's hand. It said Red Star Erguotou on it. It was a pity to pair such a good dish with such wine.

Seeing Qin Huairu's enthusiasm, He Xiao was still a little uncomfortable. He had not forgotten that he had a quarrel with the Jia family in the morning. This change of attitude was so fast, wasn't it?

He glanced at the table and raised his eyebrows.

Silly Zhu's craftsmanship was also good, and he swallowed his saliva just by looking at it.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I can't bear it.

He didn't bother to guess what Qin Huairu had in mind. He would wait until the food was eaten. Anyway, it was worth it.

Opposite him, Qin Huairu stood up, picked up a piece of ribs, and handed it to his bowl.

"He Xiao, eat more. From now on, you will treat this place as your home. We are a family."

"family?"

He Xiao shivered and almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
