"Oh, it's just a friend of mine. My friend said that my friend's friend knows how to cook the Tan family's dishes and wants to cook a meal for you and Dad.”
Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to answer, so she said it like she was reciting scriptures.
……
Dong Lai Shun.
The four of them ate slowly.
He Yushui and He Yuzhu usually ate well. Last night, they had a good meal at Yi Yongqing's house. He Yuzhu even brought back a lot of good dishes to eat that night. Therefore, the two of them were not excited about such a sumptuous meal. They were just like usual.
He Yuzhu even tried to make Yu Li laugh from time to time.
Yu Li was not as open-minded as Yu Haitang and ate slowly.
Yu Haitang had to drink with He Yuzhu or two other people after a few mouthfuls.
The meal lasted for two hours, and it was almost noon.
"I'm so full. Hehe, my sister will treat you guys later.”
Yu Haitang rubbed her belly and laughed. Although she drank a lot of wine, she was fine. It was as if she was drinking water.
Yu Li blushed and lowered her head at the side. She thought to herself,'You silly sister, you're so heartless. How can I have the money to treat her to a meal? This meal probably cost more than 20 yuan. I can't afford it.'
Yu Haitang was still very sensible. Although she ordered a lot, it was basically vegetables, which were very cheap.
The vegetables in the market were only one or two cents per catty, and the expensive ones were only three or four cents per catty. Donglaishun couldn't be too shady, right? Most of the money was on the mutton and wine ordered by He Yuzhu.
The mutton was only ten yuan, the wine was eight yuan, and the other miscellaneous items added up to less than three yuan.
"Just eat well. If it's not enough, we'll add more!”
He Yuzhu chuckled.
Yu Haitang was already full. The others had already finished eating and were waiting at the side.
"I'm full. Have you all eaten?”
"Then what should we do next? Why don't we go to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and Beihai Park?”
Yu Haitang suggested with a smile.
Whether it was the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, or Beihai Park, one had to pay a ticket to enter. This place was close to the Forbidden City, so one could walk there directly. The Temple of Heaven was not far either.
Beihai Park was located in the upper left corner of the Forbidden City, which was also very close.
Young people loved to go to these places to have fun. They could make friends with the opposite sex. Even if they didn't know each other, they could talk to each other and leave a message. They could also communicate.
This was what it meant to be a female servant in Beijing dialect. The Temple of Heaven was the most famous place because it was large and had a beautiful environment. In addition, there were many ancient buildings and beautiful patterns. Many people came to play.
The simple understanding of the woman was to pick up girls.
"Alright, let's go. I'll pay the bill!”
He Yuzhu smiled and stood up to pay.
Good heavens, a meal cost 20.6 yuan, which was more than He Yuzhu's salary for half a month.
" This money really doesn't last long. If I really want to buy something, then get married…"
He Yuzhu was a little depressed. It wasn't that she was worried about the money for food, but that she had to provide for Yu Li's good life after she married her. Her monthly salary wasn't even enough for two meals. It was difficult.
"Let's go. Shall we go to the Forbidden City or the Temple of Heaven first?”
He Yuzhu returned to the three of them and asked with a smile.
……
At Lou Xiao'e's house, her mother was stunned by her words.
"Then your friend's friend isn't your friend?”
Mother Lou asked in confusion.
“……”
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. It's just a chef in our courtyard who works at the Third Rolling Mill.”
Lou Xiao'e was speechless for a moment. She tilted her head and squinted.
The third rolling mill was the Red Star Rolling Mill.
Indeed, although He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were in the same courtyard and saw each other frequently, they did not say much. He Yuzhu was also arrogant and had a grudge against Xu Damao. If Xu Damao's wife was considered, she could be considered half an enemy.
"What's his name?"
Lou Cheng's mother was interested and asked her.
"His surname is He and his name is Yu Zhu. However, everyone in our courtyard calls him Silly Zhu.”
Lou Xiao'e laughed and complained.
"He Yuzhu?"
"Is his cooking very good?"
Lou's mother asked.
"I don't know. He and I don't talk. But my friend said that he's a good cook.”
Lou Xiao'e giggled.
"Then invite him over another day and cook a meal for us two elders. We'll taste it!”
Mother Lou said with a smile.
"I was just saying it casually. Did you really invite him over?”
Lou Xiao'e felt strange and asked with a smile.
"Then what's wrong with inviting someone to cook a meal? Didn't you say that he knows how to cook the Tan family's dishes? I really want to try them. Ask him when he can come. I'll get someone to prepare some ingredients.”
Mother Lou laughed.
“……”
Lou Xiao'e was speechless again. She thought to herself, I didn't say anything just now. He didn't even talk to him. Isn't this making things difficult for your daughter? Tell that brat later?
"No?"
Lou Xiao'e's mother asked.
"Alright, since you've asked, I'll kidnap you! Sigh!"
"I'll go see Dad!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled helplessly.
Lou Xiao'e's mother helped her tidy up the room. She went downstairs and went to the backyard. She saw an old man in his fifties or sixties under a pergola. He was not tall and was dressed plainly. His hair was half white and he wore glasses. He was reading a newspaper in his hand.
