By the time He Yushui returned home, it was already evening. She did not come back alone. She also brought Yu Li, Yu Haitang, and her sister, Zhang Shuqin, with her.
When she saw He Yuzhu, she called out in surprise,""Ah, brother, when did you come back? What gift did you bring me?"
He Yuzhu was very happy to see his sister who was always around him. After living together for more than a year, he had long recognized this close relative of his.
After living in this world for two years, he had unknowingly integrated into this society. Although sometimes, in the dead of the night, when he was sleepy, he would think of his parents, wife, and children in his previous life and could not help but cry, he had to look forward. He gradually transferred his love for his children in his previous life to He Yushui.
" Yes," he said to He Yushui with a smile." I'm sure you'll get a present. Tell your classmates to sit down."”
Only then did He Yushui remember that she had brought her classmates back. She said softly, a little embarrassed,"Brother, I want to treat a few good sisters to a meal. School is starting soon, and we won't be in the same school in the future.”
Yu Li, Yu Haitang, and Zhang Shuqin had long been attracted by the rich meat fragrance. However, Yu Li still pulled He Yushui and said,"Why don't we get together another day? Your brother just came back today.”
He Yuzhu didn't mind, as long as he didn't treat people to meals often. He smiled and said,"It's okay. Let's eat together. You guys finally bumped into each other today. Rainwater, go clean up the table first and bring the dishes over. I'll carry the deaf old lady over."
As he spoke, he smiled and nodded at Yu Li and the others. Yu Haitang and Zhang Shuqin were both outgoing and lively. They greeted each other and said,"Hello, Brother Zhu Zi."
Yu Li was a little shy. She blushed and said softly,"Brother Zhu Zi, sorry for the trouble.”
He Yuzhu didn't share the dishes and let He Yushui and the others eat alone in her sister's room. She often met with her classmates, and everyone was familiar with each other, so they weren't so reserved. When He Yuzhu carried the Deaf Old Lady over, everyone sat down and started eating.
Dinner was only a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a soup. Twice-cooked pork and stir-fried loofah. This soup was amazing. It was the famous dish of the state banquet,"Buddha jumps over the wall". Even the Deaf Old Lady had never tasted the best soup in China, let alone these little girls.
This was the authentic 'Buddha jumps over the wall'. He Yuzhu had ordered this dish from the best restaurant in Harbor City. He had ordered thirty tables of Fujian and Cantonese dishes. He had even paid extra money to request that every dish must be personally prepared by the chef. He had even bought the dishes and plates. He had even bought all the food boxes that the restaurant had delivered.
"Buddha jumps over the wall" perfectly explained the history and food culture of Chinese cuisine to the world.
The freshly made Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup opened the lid of the soup bowl, and a strong meaty fragrance wrapped in the fragrance of wine assaulted his senses. The high concentration of essence of various ingredients complemented each other, fully reflecting their respective characteristics. It was fresh, fragrant, soft, and not greasy. It was simply wonderful and lingered in his mouth for a long time.
It was no wonder that " The fragrance of meat spreads everywhere, and the Buddha hears of abandoning Zen and jumping over the wall " was so tempting. The luxurious delicacies created by " Buddha jumps over the wall " were the pursuit of the ultimate life.
The 'Buddha jumps over the wall' of later generations was no longer as complicated and delicate as it used to be. For example, pigeon eggs were replaced with quail eggs, and some expensive ingredients were omitted. The time and process were also greatly simplified.
Most of the cooking process was done using modern technology and electronic temperature control. It was very similar to the cooking of other ordinary dishes in the hotel. There was nothing unique about it. It was just borrowing the reputation of " Buddha jumps over the wall."
The Deaf Old Lady ate happily and praised,"This is the most delicious dish that my old lady has ever eaten in her life. You can't eat too much.”
The little girls didn't care about this. It was rare for them to eat meat, so how could they hold it in when they tasted such delicious food? Even Yu Li threw away her reservations and ate like flying. There was no need to be polite.
He Yuzhu had taken two servings of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup and placed them in a large soup basin. The few of them had swept them clean. The little girls were stroking their bulging stomachs with blissful expressions. Only Yu Li looked at the smooth plate and soup bowl and stole a glance at He Yuzhu out of the corner of her eye, a little embarrassed.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of everyone's ideas were still a little old-fashioned. It was common for girls to get married at the age of 14 or 15. Yu Li was already 15 years old at this time, the age of first awakening love. She saw that although He Yuzhu was not very handsome, he was also good-looking, well-mannered, cheerful, generous, and very capable. He was a cadre at a young age and had even been admitted to university.
In addition, when He Yushui chatted with them, she would often praise her brother, which made Yu Li's heart flutter. It was exactly the same as the saying in the future," I treat you as my best friend, but you want to be my sister-in-law."
Although He Yuzhu noticed that Yu Li was always stealing glances at him, he didn't care. He had transmigrated from the future, so he didn't think in that direction at all. He still retained the mentality of a middle-aged man in the future. He could not imagine a scene of a man in his forties dating a junior high school student.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Yu Li took the initiative to help He Yushui clean up the dishes. Yu Haitang and Zhang Shuqin were also embarrassed to sit still when they saw this, so they stood up to help wash the dishes and wipe the table.
After He Yuzhu sent the Deaf old lady back, he came back to see that the table and chopsticks were all cleaned up. The little girls had also gone to He Yuzhu's room.
He made himself a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and sat in front of his desk. He looked like he was thinking about something. His consciousness was searching through the System Space to see what he wanted to get for He Yushui.
There were sports shoes, a white shirt with a lotus leaf collar, a pen, and a pencil case. At this time, many students were still using pencil cases made by their mothers with rags. The pencil case bought in Harbor City was exquisite and beautiful, and it was very eye-catching. Pen was even rarer among junior high school students. In this era, the cheapest pen cost more than eight yuan, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for an apprentice.
After sending her classmates away, He Yushui went straight to her brother's room. She couldn't wait to see what her brother had brought for her. When she saw He Yuzhu take out sneakers, a white shirt, and a pen and pencil case, she jumped up excitedly. Her little face was flushed red as she picked up this and touched that. She couldn't put it down.
He Yuzhu knocked the little girl's head and said,""Don't just focus on the gifts. Let me tell you, school is starting soon. It takes me more than an hour to ride to Imperial University. I can't come back every day. I've also arranged for you to live on campus. You'll come back once a week. You should prepare yourself in the next two days and see if you're still lacking anything to buy.”
He Yushui knew that she would be staying in school, but she was still a little depressed when she heard her brother say that. After all, she was still young. In her previous life, her grades in junior high were not that good. She was still in Red Star Junior High School, and she was classmates with Yu Haitang and Zhang Shuqin. She only started living in school when she went to Imperial Capital High School No. 22.
She was only 12 years old at that time, and no one in her class had been admitted to the Imperial City's No. 11 Girls 'High School like her. She could not help but feel a little uneasy in her new environment and new classmates.
Seeing that the little girl was not in a good mood, He Yuzhu took a few mangoes and a pot of longan from the table and said,""I also brought back some fruits. This is mango and fresh longan. You haven't eaten them yet, right?”
After all, He Yushui was still a twelve-year-old girl. Her attention was diverted. When she saw her brother take out a fruit that she had never seen before, she curiously watched He Yuzhu peel a mango for her.
