Chapter 94 The uncle’s family meets Lou Bancheng
The next day, after He Yuzhu came home from get off work, he skinned the two sheep and broke them down. For Zhou Jianye's sheep, the legs and chops were cut separately, followed by the tenderloin, etc. These were given as gifts. Zhou Jianye kept the remaining sheep heads, guts, and sheep spines for himself.
For his own, He Yuzhu only saved the lamb legs, and packed away the other meat. The meat and sheep heads could be used to make haggis soup.
Early the next morning, He Yuzhu cooked a large pot of haggis soup in the space. Then poured it into the kitchen cauldron.
On a cold winter morning, eating a bowl of hot and delicious haggis soup is, well, comforting.
Just when He Yuzhu was about to bring a bowl of haggis soup to the living room, there was a knock on the courtyard door and the sound of a car.
He Yuzhu went to open the courtyard door and saw Zhou Jianye driving a jeep.
He Yuzhu: "Why did you come here so early? You're still driving."
Zhou Jianye: "The Chinese New Year is in a few days, and we have to send the meat to the elders' homes before the end of the year."
He Yuzhu led Zhou Jianye into the house and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Zhou Jianye: "I've eaten. Is the sheep ready?"
He Yuzhu: "It's all packed up and kept in the west wing. Would you like some more of the haggis soup I just made?"
Zhou Jianye: "Haggis soup, then give me a bowl."
He Yuzhu: "Okay, sit down and I'll serve it to you."
He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and brought two bowls of haggis soup and a few steamed buns.
Zhou Jianye: "Just the two of us? Where are my younger siblings and Yu Yu?"
He Yuzhu: "I'm sleeping. There's nothing wrong with getting up early, so I didn't call them."
One bowl of haggis soup per person, after eating. He Yuzhu took Zhou Jianye to the west wing.
He Yuzhu: "They are all here. If you don't have enough, I can give you two of my four legs of lamb."
Zhou Jianye thought for a while and felt that two more legs of lamb would be just right: "Okay, I won't be polite."
He Yuzhu helped Zhou Jianye load the mutton into the car and sent Zhou Jianye away.
The New Year is coming soon, and He Yuzhu also wants to send some meat to his master.
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and brought a leg of lamb and a pound of ribs to the master.
Wife: "Didn't you just bring the meat a while ago? We haven't finished eating it yet. Why did you bring the meat here again?"
He Yuzhu: "It was bacon last time, so I can keep it. Two days ago, I went hunting in the mountains with Zhou Jianye. I hunted a wild goat. I sent some to you and Master to make some mutton dumplings for the New Year."
After chatting with my wife for a while, I learned that my master will be transferred to the Forty-Nine City Hotel after the new year.
He Yuzhu: "This is a good thing. The business of Fengze Garden is not good now. The Sijiucheng Hotel is a place to hold important banquets, so it is guaranteed. Master is going to become a state banquet master, and I will also be the state banquet master's apprentice in the future. .”
Wife: "Just be poor."
After chatting with his wife for a while, He Yuzhu stood up and left.
After leaving the master's house, He Yuzhu took the mutton to his uncle's house.
Auntie Shi was a little unhappy when she saw He Yuzhu coming alone. She took He Yuzhu's hand and asked, "Why didn't Jinfeng come with you?"
He Yuzhu: "Jinfeng is taking care of the children at home."
Auntie Shi brought He Yuzhu into the living room, and He Yuzhu saw Lou Bancheng and Aunt Tan also there.
He Yuzhu quickly said hello: "Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan."
Master: "Zhuzhu is here, come sit down and chat for a while."
He Yuzhu went over and sat down.
Aunt Tan: "Zhuzi, I still want to find you when I have time."
He Yuzhu: "Aunt Tan, what do you want from me?"
Aunt Tan: "Didn't someone introduce a partner to your sister Xiao'e? It's from the courtyard where you used to live. I want to ask you to see if you understand?"
He Yuzhu thought to himself that it should be Xu Damao. He, a little butterfly, waved his wings and only changed the fate of a few people. Nothing else changed.
He Yuzhu: "Tell me who it is?"
Aunt Tan: "My name is Xu Damao, do you know him?"
He Yuzhu: "We know each other, we grew up together."
Aunt Tan: "As long as we know each other, how are they?"
He Yuzhu: "I have been away from that place for several years. I don't know how he is now. But he is quite popular with girls. You'd better find someone to investigate carefully. And the people in that courtyard are not simple. Xiao'e married Times were tough there.”
Uncle Lou: "I heard that the courtyard is a model courtyard?"
He Yuzhu: "Some things have been kept in the yard by the steward, and outsiders don't know about it. Most of the people living in the yard are people from the steel rolling mill. Are you easy to inquire about?"
Lou Bancheng showed a wry smile.
Aunt Tan: "It's not like you don't know. Now that we are a public-private partnership, we only get dividends. People in the past avoided us."
He Yuzhu: "Then why don't you find someone who is a good match for Xiao'e."
Lou Bancheng: "We are all being watched. We want to find a worker for Xiao'e to avoid trouble in the future."
He Yuzhu: "Uncle Lou, you are so famous in Sijiu City. Xiao'e's identity cannot be changed. Why don't you go out to develop like the original manager Luan's family in Fengzeyuan?"
Lou Bancheng: "It's hard to leave my hometown. My Lou family's property is all here, how can I leave."
He Yuzhu: "What kind of business does the Lou family have? There are so many people on the street who have no place to live or enough to eat. You people with big families and big businesses are living targets. Once a conflict breaks out, it's good to be able to save your life." "
When Lou Bancheng and Aunt Tan heard this, their expressions changed suddenly.
He Yuzhu: "It's hard to leave your homeland. Xiangjiang is so close, and the country will take it back sooner or later."
The uncle also spoke at this time: "Zhuzhu is right. Others don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes. You people are rich in fine clothes and fine food. How can you not be greedy? Make plans early and leave a way out for yourself."
Lou Bancheng: "We will seriously consider it."
Master: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Zhuzi, your master is going to be transferred to the Forty-Nine City Hotel, do you know that?"
He Yuzhu: "I just went to Master's house, and Master's wife told me."
Master: "We all know what you are capable of. Do you want to follow your master to Sijiucheng Hotel after the new year?"
He Yuzhu: "Let me go back and think about it."
Master: "There is nothing else to consider. With your master, me, and your other masters and uncles here, you will not be wronged."
He Yuzhu: "I think about it again, now I feel quite comfortable in the cafeteria."
Master: "You are just too comfortable and wasting your talent."
Seeing that his uncle was a little angry, He Yuzhu quickly smiled to appease him.
Master: "Forget it, I will discuss this matter with your master."
He Yuzhu chatted with his uncle for a while. When Lou Bancheng and Aunt Tan left, He Yuzhu also left.
Auntie Shi: "Next time if I don't take Jinfeng and the others with me, do you think I'll let you in?"
He Yuzhu repeatedly promised that the whole family would come next time before letting Auntie Shi off.
