Early the next morning, Li Shouliang got up roughly earlier than the people in the entire courtyard. Because of this point, Li Shouliang has become accustomed to 'practicing boxing' and exercising. Then wash and eat.

But this morning, Li Shouliang met an unexpected person.

Just as Li Shouliang was practicing boxing in the backyard, a woman came out of Xu Damao's house, it was Lou Xiao'e.

He walked not far from Li Shouliang with a smile and watched Li Shouliang finish punching.

Li Shouliang also knew that there were people standing next to him, but he couldn't finish the fight, and he always felt uncomfortable. In some things, Li Shouliang has some 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' meaning both before and now, and it is limited to individual things.

After the call, Li Shouliang stopped and asked, "Sister Xiao'e, why did you get up so early today, is there something wrong?" ”

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her eyes, and first said, "Shouliang, your punch is really beautiful." It always feels smooth and imposing when you look at it. ”

Li Shouliang smiled and didn't answer, Bajiquan is advanced, although this practice is not a fighting method, it is not a joke.

Then I heard Lou Xiao'e say: "Didn't I get up to find you." Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten up so early. ”

Li Shouliang laughed and said, "Sister Xiao'e, Brother Da Mao is still asleep at home." You're not afraid that he'll be angry when he sees you come out to me. Also, the people in our backyard saw it, and it was also a joke. ”

Lou Xiao'e waved her hand and said, "I'm doing this business, Da Mao won't blame me if he knows." Also, let's stand in the courtyard and talk in the light. Who can chew their tongues? ”

Lou Xiao'e, who came to the courtyard, didn't feel anything else, but the people in the courtyard passed on the gossip, and chewing her tongue behind her back was really a must.

Li Shouliang gave a thumbs up and said: "Living in the courtyard, you have mastered the true meaning of life. All that's left is to blend in. ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "Don't be poor. Really. I'm really looking for you. ”

Li Shouliang asked, "What's the matter?" In such a hurry? They looked for me last night and came back to me today. I thought about it for a while, you are a girl from a big family, and I am an ordinary factory worker. What can I do to help you? ”

Lou Xiao'e didn't answer the conversation, and didn't say anything first. Instead, he asked first: "Shouliang, the meal you cooked for me that day was very good, and that old BJ fried sauce noodles were really a must." You.

Do you only make noodles, or do you also make dishes? ”

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Li Shouliang immediately roughly guessed what happened to Lou Xiao'e. It should be asking him to cook.

Li Shouliang said with a smile: "Sister Xiao'e, I can probably cook some home-cooked food." I feel pretty good. ”

Lou Xiao'e was first overjoyed and a little relieved, and then asked a little cautiously: "Is the level of cooking as good as that side?" ”

This asks the person concerned, what the person says. To say good is to be proud, and to say bad is to belittle yourself.

Li Shouliang finally said truthfully: "The level of cooking should be good." What's the matter, Sister Xiao'e, is there something wrong? ”

Lou Xiao'e patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

Then he was about to say something else when he heard a voice coming from the door of the old lady's house in the backyard. There is a tendency to push open the door and come out.

Lou Xiao'e was startled, and subconsciously retreated to the side. said: "What, Shouliang, will you come back at night?" Can I prepare the ingredients and eat at your house? I cook, you cook. ”

Li Shouliang knew that this was a test of his level, and Li Shouliang said, "Okay, you can." Cooking at my house at night just so happens that I also save on cooking. ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll talk about it in the evening." Good bye. Then he turned and left.

Li Shouliang nodded, continued to punch, and after a while, the old lady's door rang for a long time before it was pushed open.

The old lady slowly took a small bench and came out to sit outside. Then he watched with interest as Li Shouliang boxed there.

When Li Shouliang turned around, he looked at the old lady with some deep meaning in his eyes.

However, Li Shouliang did not explain much. Since he first came into contact with the old lady, only when it was the New Year's holiday, Li Shouliang would go over with the first uncle to see the old lady.

There is an uncle who is in charge of the old lady, and Li Shouliang doesn't want to get close to her much, so it's just an ordinary neighbor.

In the morning, when Li Shouliang was leaving, he told his aunt that he would not come to eat at night, do less, and don't waste it.

A calm day.

After work in the evening, Li Shouliang just returned to the backyard, and before he entered the house, he saw Lou Xiao'e come out and looked in his direction.

Li Shouliang nodded at her. Then I went home and put my bag first.

After a while, what surprised Li Shouliang was that Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao came together with the east and west. Li Shouliang thought that Lou Xiao'e was looking for him to cook, and he was behind Xu Damao's back.

But this matter is obviously Li Shouliang right. Lou Xiao'e didn't think about telling Xu Damao about this.

As a result, Xu Damao woke up with urine today. I woke up earlier than usual, and I didn't see Lou Xiao'e, thinking that Lou Xiao'e went to the toilet. I waited for Lou Xiao'e half-asleep again, and then went back to sleep, and woke up after waiting for a long time.

Ask Lou Xiao'e what is the matter. Lou Xiao'e doesn't have any personal affairs, she doesn't think that there is anything to hide from her husband about this. That's all about it.

At that time, Xu Damao still didn't believe it. Because Xu Damao's impression of Li Shouliang's craftsmanship is still 60 years, that is when Xu Damao wanted to win over Li Shouliang to do stupid pillars. Li Shouliang fried a few dishes, and the brothers drank one.

The dish was indeed better than the average restaurant, but that's about it. It's not as good as a chef in a big hotel. Xu Damao prides himself on being a person who has eaten many good places. It's hard to believe why Lou Xiao'e admires Li Shouliang's cooking skills.

As for his absence from home on a business trip, Lou Xiao'e asked Li Shouliang to cook, don't worry about it first, and then talk about it later.

That's it, Xu Damao even postponed the business trip he was supposed to go on today, saying that he had to push this job to others or a day late.

One is to see Li Shouliang's craftsmanship, and the other is that Xu Damao doesn't believe that a person has such great ability. Fight well, learn fitter, fitter is great, learn carpenter, carpentry is great, learn cooking, cooking is also great?

Who is this TM? In the courtyard, no such NB people are allowed. Then there is the fact that I don't worry about my wife.

As the saying goes: reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Xu Damao is such a person. Don't care if Li Shouliang likes him or not, I have to admit that in front of the leader, I prefer this kind of person.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e first put down their things, and then Xu Damao smiled and said, "Brother, it's really impressive to treat each other for three days." Today, I heard your sister-in-law mention that you are cooking well. I'm still a little unconvinced.

My brother and I had dinner some time ago, and I remember that it was at the level of home-cooked food at that time. No, your sister-in-law highly recommends. I was also curious, so I came uninvited. Brother, you won't be welcome, will you? ”

Don't mention anything else, dig a hole every word. Besides, it was two years ago that we had a meal together some time ago, so it was really 'some time ago'!

Li Shouliang said with a smile: "Brother Da Mao, I just borrowed your family's dishes to save a meal." You're coming. Sit, sit, sit. I'll go and pour you water. I'm empty here, don't be disgusted. ”

Xu Damao raised his eyes and looked at this place, still as in his memory.

Xu Damao couldn't help but say: "Shouliang, why don't you mess up?" You're a level 6 worker now, and your monthly salary is almost twice as much as your brother's. Why is this house still so empty? Save it and don't spend it?

With your craft, plus you have money, what can't you get? Also decorated with decorations. It's beautiful. ”

Li Shouliang smiled: "Brother Da Mao, how can you have any money?" In the first two years, when the salary was low, I bought a bicycle and a radio first.

I didn't save any money. In addition, in the past two years, I have bought wood to practice my craft. It's not as much as you can spend. In addition, you have to leave some foundation to marry a daughter-in-law. This family, when you get married, it's not too late to decorate. ”

As he spoke, he poured water for the two of them, and then said, "Let's do it first, I'll cook." ”

There are a lot of things brought, especially meat, which may not be used up by the three great masters for the New Year.

Li Shouliang simply fried four dishes. I made another tomato egg drop soup. Enough to eat.

I thought that there was no pasta, and there was no steamed bun at home. Li Shouliang went to an uncle's house again and got a few steamed buns.

Uncle Yi didn't ask anything.

Xu Damao was worried about eating, and Li Shouliang deceived Xu Damao because he pretended to be drunk before. Neither of them mentioned drinking.

Just ate it like this, this chef and ordinary people cook dishes, and the 'color and fragrance' are different. Not to mention the taste.

A few people feasted, so unhappy.

Xu Damao, who ate it, was sweating even more, but even so, the ordinary tomato and egg drop soup still made him drink several more bowls.

For a while, there was no intention to target Li Shouliang. Just want to enjoy the peace after a full meal. Apparently it's cool. Regarding Lou Xiao'e's admiration for Li Shouliang's cooking skills, she didn't resist anymore. I thought to myself: this kid does have two brushes.

Lou Xiao'e also has a happy face, although this dish is home-cooked, but the more home-cooked it is, the more it can show the difference between a chef and an ordinary chef. Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e felt that she had really made a right decision by mistake.

Lou Xiao'e said: "How about it, I'm not wrong." The craftsmanship of Shouliang is not made by ordinary people. There are so many restaurants I've ever eaten from, and there are only a few big restaurants where the chefs are better than Shouliang's craftsmanship.

But those masters are dozens of years old. Shouliang is how big this is. ”

Xu Damao didn't refute, and said with a smile: "This time I believe it, Shouliang, your cooking skills have increased, brother, I am convinced." It's hidden. It makes my brother want to learn it. ”

Li Shouliang smiled and said, "Hey, it's all forced by cooking by yourself, and it's unpalatable at first." I can't even eat it myself. But I can't eat it, it's not nutritious. The work in this factory cannot be done without strength.

I forced myself to cook, constantly pursuing how to eat and how to eat. This dish is also practiced day by day. Brother Da Mao wants to give it a try if he wants to practice, it's nothing rare, once or twice, it's not obvious.

It's easy to see the accumulation over time. ”

Xu Damao lost confidence when he heard this, and he was not a person who could persevere. He simply smiled and didn't speak.

Lou Xiao'e said: "Come on, your brother Da Mao is not the kind of person who insists on coming down." He's just lazy. "I've been married for a while, and I already know a lot about this man who deceived her with 'rhetoric'.

In addition to his own job, because he is playing tricks, he can do it, and the others are not doing it.

Even when it comes to cooking at home, the two of them can escape, eat cooked food first, and then cook after eating, just make a living.

However, Lou Xiao'e also knows more or less about saving face for her man outside, so she won't say anything after saying this.

turned to business: "Shouliang, are you free in a few days?" ”

This is a question, who knows if you will be free in a few days, this is not a specific day, it is still an unknown day.

Li Shouliang smiled: "Sister Xiao'e, if I knew if I would be busy in a few days, I wouldn't dare to fitter." I've been a police officer a long time ago, and I can't find out which criminal is a prophet in this hand. ”

Li Shouliang originally wanted to talk about fortune telling, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that there was a 'report villain Xu Damao' sitting next to him, he really wanted to remember what he said, and he would report it to himself in a few years.

Damn, no matter how impulsive you are, give yourself a 'needless', then you are a fitter.

Lou Xiao'e smiled: "Don't be stinky and poor, let's get down to business." I just asked you how many days later, the specific time has not yet been determined, but it will be in the next few days to a week. ”

Li Shouliang thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "For the time being, there is still none, but it really can't be ruled out that something is wrong." After all, none of us know what's going on. ”

Lou Xiao'e saw that there was a drama and said with a smile: "Then you will definitely be fine by then." Hey. ”

The scene between the two is actually a normal conversation, but in Xu Damao's eyes, it looks like 'flirting'.

MD, I'm right here right here, you're coming with me?

Xu Damao, who was a little unhappy, said: "Ezi, I'll tell you that what you said was too early, our dad hasn't decided yet, and he didn't say that he must use the person you are looking for." You told someone Shouliang first. We'll talk about it then. What's the hurry? ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "Da Mao, it is precisely because I am not sure that I will tell Shouliang first, I really need Shouliang's help when the time comes, but because I didn't say hello to someone in advance, Shouliang has something to do." Isn't that all in the soup? This is true.

Xu Damao is 'stirring up trouble', and Lou Xiao'e is doing it.

Li Shouliang looked at the two 'bickering' and then said, "Sister Xiao'e, what is the specific matter?" I've been talking about this for so long, and I'm still in the clouds. ”

Lou Xiao'e then said: "Actually, it's my father, some old friends from all over the world, who want to come to the house for a get-together." But I don't want to do a big deal. There has always been a 'helper' at home who cooks food when friends come.

But some time ago, I followed my family back to my hometown to enjoy Qingfu. In addition, after a while, there were no guests in our house, so we didn't ask for 'help'.

No, all of a sudden, my dad's old friends are coming to get together. Our family urgently looked for someone who could cook to help. ”

That's not true. Li Shouliang listened strangely. Just for such a meal, in a place like 'Fortress Garden, BJ Restaurant', you can just hire a chef. Those big restaurants, no chef can be found. The masters of the eight major cuisines can be seen in the hotel.

Lou Xiao'e replied to Li Shouliang's question: "Isn't it too flamboyant to ask a chef in a big hotel?" And don't worry, you go and help out this meal, our family has a thank you. Absolutely generous. ”

Just such a half-veiled answer, there is obviously an 'unfinished word'. However, Li Shouliang did not ask. Just have a thanks.

Although the Lou family has not yet fallen, it has already shown a decline. The 'give money-help' relationship is just right.

Li Shouliang agreed.

The couple returned home with smiles on their faces.

Xu Damao asked Lou Xiao'e the real reason, as long as she is not stupid, who can't hear it.

Lou Xiao'e said: "First, it is too fanfare to invite a chef to cook at home. will be targeted by some well-intentioned people. Dad's old friends came just to have a simple meal.

The second is that there are friends from all over the world, and I have never eaten any good dishes. It doesn't need to be good, as long as it's on the countertop, it's decent. The third is that Lou Xiao'e thinks that Li Shouliang's cooking is very good. Especially after the test of this regular dish tonight. ”

There is another one Lou Xiao'e didn't say: Although her family is a little downhill, she goes to invite a chef to come back, and it seems that her family is very embarrassed. How can there be a big family that does not have its own cook?

But if Li Shouliang is chosen to help, Li Shouliang is a soldier of 'his former own factory'. It's really not an external invitation.

Barely in the middle of the conditions. Otherwise, I am afraid that my family will be embarrassed.

Xu Damao didn't say much after listening to the explanation, and at present, he didn't say anything 'irrational' about the good things that his daughter-in-law got back when she went back to her parents' house every three or five times.

。

。 A few days later, Lou Xiao'e sent a letter. Ask Li Shouliang if he has time for Saturday night.

Li Shouliang replied: "For the time being, I have time, but I have to go to work." ”

Lou Xiao'e said very generously, please take half a day to one day, this day's salary, our family will make up for you, not included in the thanks. I just wish you could come and tidy up your ingredients early.

Someone made a decision, and Li Shouliang naturally agreed. Then I asked where the friends were and what the dishes were prepared.

What are the ideas of the host family about what dishes to serve and how many dishes to make. Then Lou Xiao'e passed the answer to the question from Lou's family in every detail. And according to the menu prepared by Li Shouliang according to the guests prepared the dishes.

On Saturday, Li Shouliang first worked until noon, and then left his workbench to Cha Anping to practice his craft. This 'stupid thing' really lived up to his expectations.

It's very smart, but it's also a bit lazy, not rushing, not jumping, not moving forward.

Therefore, Li Shouliang set him a half-year study work, and then took the small goal of the grade, but he did not complete it. We can only wait for the end of December this time. Li Shouliang hopes that others can also say: Master is a hero and a hero. This is the first apprentice, so he has high hopes.

Then Li Shouliang came to Lou Xiao'e's house according to the address.

When he arrived at the gate, there were people waiting for him at the gate early.

As soon as he heard that it was him, he led him in. Li Shouliang first asked the aunt, who claimed to be 'Mother Wu', to find him a place and change into clean clothes.

Then he carefully cleaned his hands before following Wu's mother to the kitchen.

They are all prepared dishes according to the menu prepared by Li Shouliang.

Li Shouliang prepared several kinds of dishes according to his friends from Tiannan and Haibei.

Among them, Lu cuisine is prepared: stir-fried kidney flower, sweet and sour carp, and Yipin tofu.

Zhejiang cuisine: Dongpo meat, lotus leaf steamed pork, dry-fried bell, etc.

Hunan cuisine: chopped pepper fish head, spicy chicken, etc. There are also fashionable vegetarian home-cooked dishes.

The big dishes were all handled by Wu's mother following Li Shouliang and handling them first. If it takes a long time, it is done first by pinching the time.

Vegetarian dishes, good whole dishes are washed, cut, and put there. The only dish of boiling cabbage was made by Li Shouliang as soon as he came, without him, more than 3 to 4 hours of broth, and boiled.

As the sky gets darker and darker. Lou Xiao'e came in with her head exposed. Take a look at the prepared dish. It's right to call it back.

Li Shouliang asked casually: "What about Brother Da Mao?" ”

Lou Xiao'e only used: "I'm on a business trip." "Prevaricated. Li Shouliang didn't feel anything wrong, Xu Damao often went to the mountains and the countryside.

As Lou's mother came in and said, serve the food.

One by one, the prepared dishes, mixed with two vegetarian dishes in the middle, kept being delivered.

The last dish is boiled water cabbage. After going to Qi, Li Shouliang did not delay, said to Wu's mother, and left quietly.

Li Shouliang came to thank him. At present, in his own life, there is nothing that can be found in the Lou family.

It's just a matter of knowing and knowing. Take a step of idle chess. Put some of the 'test dishes' you have left for extra food in the prepared box and leave.
