Siheyuan: Starting a big man's life from a bag of spicy sticks

After peeling the potatoes, I cut them into two large potatoes.

He Yuqing took the mutton out of the basin and cut it into thin slices. He Yuqing's knife skills were pretty good. His father and ancestors were chefs for generations. Although He Yuqing and his father didn't learn much, they were influenced by his eldest brother He Yuzhu's ears and eyes.

Okay, this knife skill is pretty good.

After cutting two pounds of mutton into thin slices, He Yuzhu put a hot pot on the stove.

Quietly waiting for the return of eldest brother He Yuzhu and sister He Yuyu.

There is nothing else in these years. If you have a mouthful of food, it is good. If you have a mouthful of meat, you are a Sai Shenxian.

Many people were beaten to death just for a bite to eat.

You are right, this was a poor year, materials were scarce, and people lived a very difficult life.

…

Half past five in the afternoon.

He Yuzhu carried a net bag with a lunch box of meaty dishes in it and walked home in a swaggering manner.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, He Yuzhu felt something was wrong.

How come the little brother He Yuqing who was squatting at the door waiting for this box of dishes in the past has disappeared?

While puzzled, He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao with a wolfish look on his face.

"He Yuzhu, ok, your brother already has money to buy mutton!"

Xu Damao said with a wicked smile.

There is Qin Huairu nearby, as well as the third uncle.

It is self-evident that Xu Damao's intention was to arouse the conflict between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu. After all, He Yuzhu's money had always been transferred to Qin Huairu. Now that the money was in the hands of He Yuqing, Xu Damao could watch the two of them play.

The third uncle is a hypocrite. Seeing He Yuqing buying mutton and eating it, the third uncle looked envious and jealous.

"What, Yuqing is buying mutton?"

He Yuzhu looked in disbelief.

But after thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu felt relieved. Yuqing had a little pocket money. Didn't he spend all the money and save it to buy mutton?

He Yuzhu looked puzzled and strode home.

At this time, He Yuzhu opened the door, and the slightly spicy and authentic prairie butter soup in the room was boiling and flying rapidly out along the door.

This fragrance, let alone the third uncle and Qin Huairu.

Even Xu Damao, who had always been well-informed, swallowed hard.

"Holy crap, this is hot pot!"

"The taste of this hot pot soup is probably hard to find in the entire Sijiu City. What the hell!"

It was obvious that He Yuzhu had not returned home yet. It was unlikely that the butter hot pot base was made by He Yuzhu. Xu Damao was convinced of this.

Xu Damao was surprised, the third uncle also looked amazed, Qin Huairu also looked curious, the second uncle and the first uncle also walked along the crowd, and suddenly surrounded He Yuzhu's door.

"Brother, I'm back, come on, sit down!"

"Tonight, the three of us, brother and sister, will have a good hot pot meal!"

Beside the fire, He Yuqing's harmless face smiled and said to He Yuzhu at the door.

When He Yuzhu saw He Yuqing's smile and then looked at the boiling fragrant hot pot base soup, he was immediately surprised. Even he, He Yuzhu, couldn't make this stuff. Now, He Yuqing has secretly made it.

It seems to taste very good, better than those prepared in restaurants.

At this moment, He Yuzhu smelled this, and his mouth suddenly became excited.

"Yu Qing, is this your secret hot pot base?"

Xu Damao stood at the door and asked with a surprised look on his face.

"yes!"

He Yuqing said with a smile.

"this?"

At first, Xu Damao didn't believe it, thinking that He Yuqing had packed it back from some restaurant. But now when he heard that it was actually He Yuqing who had done it himself, Xu Damao was shocked.

You know, those restaurants not only sell hot pot base.

If you go to those restaurants and spend money once, you can't afford it without five yuan.

Five yuan doesn't get you much food. From this, we can see how precious the hot pot base is, not to mention that those hot pot bases are nowhere near as good as Yuqing's hot pot base.

At this time, Xu Damao wanted to pay He Yuqing to secretly make some for him, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He Yuqing didn't have a good impression of the people standing outside. Take the elder as an example. He Yuqing just wanted He Yuzhu to support him until he died. He had a personal purpose, so He Yuqing came up directly and closed the door.

"Yuqing, isn't this a little bad?"

He Yuzhu said a little embarrassed.

"Brother, why is it embarrassing? In this courtyard, except for the deaf old lady, everyone is more rubbish than the other, and I am too lazy to pay attention to them!"

He Yuqing brought a maza to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu thought about it, and there was some truth in what his brother said.

Immediately he took He Yuqing's mazza and put the soup pot around the stove, ready to eat when He Yuqing came back.

It was at this time that He Yuyu walked into the house happily.

As soon as he entered the door, He Yuyu smelled a strong fragrance.

"Wow, big brother cooked something good today!"

He Yuyu smelled the fragrance, his mouth was full of saliva, and he said happily.

"Sister, you are wrong. I didn't start work today, so Yu Qing made everything. He secretly made the butter hot pot base and bought mutton!"

He Yuzhu said to the surprised He Yuzhu.

"Ah, my little brother bought it?"

"Brother, where did you get the money?"

"This hot pot soup looks better than those in those restaurants. Is this your secret recipe?"

When He Yuzhu heard what He Yuzhu said, he came over with a look of disbelief on his face, looked at the boiling soup pot, and said to He Yuqing.

"Sister, you look at people through the door and you look down on me!"

“It’s just a meal of mutton!”

"From today on, our family can eat like this every day!"

"Your little brother and I have our own way of making money!"

He Yuqing patted her chest and said.

He Yuzhu and He Yuyu looked at each other, even more surprised. In these days and months, eating meat every day is difficult for some leaders to live in their families.

What on earth does my little brother do for a living?

He Yuzhu and He Yuyu want to find out the truth.

"Brother, sister, don't look at me. The money comes from a legitimate source. Take this secret hot pot base as an example. I took it to the market and sold it for 1 yuan a pack. In this weather, I can still make money every minute.

It’s dozens of dollars!”

When He Yuqing said this, He Yuzhu felt relieved. He Yuzhu understood He Yuqing's way of making money.

Then he also took a matza and sat by the fire.

My mind is at peace and I'm ready to eat.

Pieces of mutton are put into the pot, and they will be cooked in a short time.

“Not bad, the texture and taste are good, the thickness of this slice is just right!”

He Yuzhu ate a piece of mutton and felt very refreshed and tasted good. He gave his brother a thumbs up.

"too delicious!"

Sister He Yuyu also took a bite at this moment and praised her brother's hot pot full of praise.

Seeing her brother and sister eating so happily, He Yuqing looked satisfied. Since she traveled to the 1960s, she had to give it a good try.
