Chapter 32: Restoration
Master's death made Silly Zhu very sad, but Master's future needs to be done by himself. After He Yushui came back, he knew that the old Taoist priest had passed away, and she cried sadly, she is now almost 10 years old, and understands the difference between life and death, and the old Taoist priest got along with him this year, he treated the old Taoist priest as a grandfather, and the old Taoist priest treated her as a granddaughter, and the two people who were nearly 100 years old also had a deep affection
The people in the courtyard knew that the master of the stupid pillar had passed away, and they came to comfort him, but because the old Taoist priest said not to hold a funeral for himself, just send himself to be cremated. The stupid pillar walked towards the crematorium in the back of the decline, and the three uncles in the courtyard also helped to go over, and when they arrived at the location, they needed to fill in the identity information of the deceased
Seeing the information filled in by the stupid pillar, Yi Zhonghai knew that the old man who had lived in the courtyard for a year should be 108 years old, and he was also very surprised, Yi Zhonghai only knew that the identity of the old Taoist priest was not simple, but he didn't know other information
When Jia Zhang heard that there were dead people in the courtyard, she thought that there was a banquet to eat, and eating a banquet meant eating meat, and she didn't eat much at home at noon, so she waited for the stupid Zhu's house to set the table in the evening. However, Jia Zhang's got a sad news after Yi Zhonghai returned, and Silly Zhu didn't do anything, because the deceased had asked not to hold any ceremony for him
However, based on the fact that the neighbors in the courtyard have lived for so many years, some neighbors still came to the door to give gift money, and the stupid pillar didn't want it, but he was scolded by Uncle Cheng, this is etiquette, and some etiquette can't be lost. The old Taoist priest's death is still known to the street office, but Director Wang doesn't know how to deal with this matter, he can only report to the above, because the old Taoist priest has a special identity and has saved many leaders, but because the old Taoist priest is low-key and he doesn't go to find those people, so outsiders have not known
Soon Director Wang received the above arrangement, let him dock with He Yuzhu, and the old Taoist priest Anran entered Babao Mountain for burial, and carried out the highest farewell ceremony for his funeral. When Director Wang came to Silly Zhu's house with this news, Silly Zhu directly refused after hearing it, saying that Master had confessed that no one could touch his ashes, and that Master and his old man wanted to be buried in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the motherland, and they should not hold any ceremonies for him, and he didn't want to be disturbed if he died
Director Wang saw that he couldn't make sense of the stupid pillar, so he could only report the stupid pillar's words to the leader, and finally he didn't know how to solve it, but no one bothered the stupid pillar again
Silly Zhu sat alone at home and recalled the bits and pieces of the master and apprentice, the severity of the master when he taught himself martial arts, and the fact that he went into the mountains to collect medicine in order to treat his injuries after he was injured, and the master went into the mountains to meet the wild boar Master protected himself, and the master took him to practice medicine, these scenes floated through his heart
Yi Zhonghai's family accompanied Silly Zhu back from the crematorium after Yi Zhonghai returned home, but today Yi Zhonghai was very happy, in his opinion, the reason why Silly Zhu has changed so much is because of the old Taoist, he has not dared to calculate Silly Zhu because of the fear of the identity of the old Taoist, and now that the person is dead, Silly Zhu himself is not holding a handle, thinking of this, I can't help but drink half a catty of wine for dinner, and the corners of my mouth are smiling when I sleep, as if I saw Silly Zhu listening to his words and listening to Xu Damao's fist and stepping on his bangs, becoming his own thug
Silly Zhu has been working since the death of his master, but he has been in a trance, and his whole state is not very good. In the middle, Mu Xue came to the courtyard once, saying that her aunt's relatives needed someone to do a wedding banquet when they got married, but Silly Zhu didn't agree. Wen Ren Mu Xue was also shocked when he heard that the old Taoist priest had passed away, and he was still chatting with the old man so happily some time ago, why did people say that it was gone
However, seeing that Silly Zhu was in a bad state, knowing that he was in vain today, Wen Ren Mu Xue stepped forward to comfort Silly Zhu softly, and if she didn't listen to her, she didn't know how to persuade Silly Zhu, after all, it was not her master who died, and she didn't know the relationship between their master and apprentice very well
At noon, Mu Xue was rejected for dinner at home, how could a girl stay at someone else's house casually, although Silly Zhu was just out of politeness, but he couldn't get an inch. Silly Zhu didn't care too much when he saw that the other party didn't stay for dinner, his current state is not very good, and it may take a while to recover, so he can't agree to Wenren Muxue's request
Yi Zhonghai is still thinking about how to turn the stupid pillar back into the original stupid pillar, the Jia family Jia Zhang scolded the stupid pillar at home a few days ago because the stupid pillar did not hold a banquet, and the stick terrier was scared and cried, and Jia Zhang's scolded the stupid pillar even more. After Jia Zhang's life became more nourishing after he had a grandson, he also took the soles of his shoes every day, and he held his grandson at the door to show off to those aunts
Other people's minds stupid pillars don't know, even if they know that they can't take care of them now, stupid pillars have also gone to the master these days to see their own courtyard, the courtyard is planted a lot of medicinal materials, the whole adds up to 2 into the courtyard before and after adding up to 600 square meters, but because the old Taoist priest does not live here just to plant medicinal materials and put things, so the house is a little dilapidated and needs to spend money to repair, but the master did not let him come here to live, saying that it is growing fast in the courtyard, don't be afraid of losses, Only when you suffer losses can you learn to grow
During this time, everyone also introduced a lot of work to Silly Zhu, but he refused, and he was embarrassed to explain to everyone, but they can understand that after all, their relatives have passed away, and this state is normal
In the passage of time, the sadness in the heart of the stupid pillar was slowly soothed. The time soon came to the month of Layue, and there was another month before the New Year, and the stupid pillar returned to normal during this time, and he also met with Wenren Muxue several times, and the relationship between the two gradually became stronger, but it was the first time that both of them had a good impression of each other, but they did not make any explicit statements
Recently, Silly Zhu looked at his father's notes and learned a few new Lu dishes and Tan family dishes, Tan Jia Cai himself can't buy materials, he can only make Lu dishes, and he also has a lot of experience in the palace recipes that he occasionally arrived a few days ago. Father He Daqing left for himself the recipe, although there are not only Lu dishes, but there are also more than 40 Lu dishes, he has not had time to study recipes because of learning Taoism, and recently he can calm down, so he will take out the recipes to study and study to see if he can make new dishes
Silly Zhu now has 3 recipes in his hand, He Daqing left a copy, Wu Chang'an Wu Master Wu gave himself a copy, and one is a foolish pillar saved a person some time ago, the ancestor is the imperial chef to make court dishes, but now there is no one in the family to inherit the cooking skills, in order to thank Silly Zhu just learned that Silly Zhu can also cook, so he gave the beauty of the recipe to Silly Zhu
Silly Zhu came to the kitchen early in the morning and said to the director to go grocery shopping, Wenren Muxue's school is not too far from the rolling mill, 40 minutes by bicycle can be reached, but today Wenren Muxue has no class, so he made an appointment with Silly Zhu to come to the rolling mill to find him. Silly Zhu wants to make osmanthus eggs today, this thing has a resounding name in the future "Three Non-Sticks", but the taste is just like that but it is good-looking, and there is a mullet egg soup, I don't know where Director Tang got this thing, but everyone doesn't know how to make Silly Zhu and suddenly remembered that there is this dish and began to study
There are also a few palace dishes, the dishes in the palace recipe are not much more low-key than the Tan family cuisine, the Tan family cuisine is focused on the use of bird's nest abalone materials, and the palace cuisine contains many cuisines, but the methods and materials will be slightly different, the palace cuisine made by Silly Zhu today is also cherry meat, this dish was originally Su cuisine, but it was improved and added to the palace cuisine
Waiting for the stupid pillar to come back from buying vegetables, it was already more than 9 o'clock, and said to Uncle Wang at the door, waiting for someone to come back to trouble him, he let him go, by the way, after the last birthday banquet of the mother of the director of the security department, Wang Fugui has become the deputy chief of the third section of the security department in the past few days
After chatting with the security guard at the door for a while, the stupid pillar rode a bicycle towards the canteen, and then went to the warehouse in the middle to take out the materials for making mullet egg soup, which was troublesome to make, so Director Tang simply threw it into the warehouse
Stepping into the back kitchen with a vegetable silly pillar, at this time everyone has already begun to work, and noodles and noodles, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables are each done, this point is also the busiest time in the kitchen, as long as it is after lunch, it will be free. Seeing everyone working in full swing, Silly Zhu also began to process the ingredients, and soon it was 10 o'clock, which was the voice of an aunt outside
"Master He, someone is looking for you", Silly Zhu walked out and saw that it was Wen Ren Mu Xue who had already come
"Why did you come so early, I thought you would come at 11 o'clock, come with me, but you have to wait a while, I just marinated the ingredients and stir-fried vegetables may need to wait a while"
"Then are you busy now, don't you be busy walking with me in your factory", after the two walked out of the canteen, the aunts in the canteen began to gossip, it seems that the relationship between the two is not simple, and then it didn't take long for the kitchen to spread out that Master He's daughter-in-law came to him, and the daughter-in-law was like a fairy
Silly Zhu accompanied Wen Ren Mu Xue in the factory area, Mu Xue studied Chinese, but there was no particularly fixed unit in this era, maybe he would be assigned to the rolling mill in the future. The two of them talked and laughed while walking, and met many acquaintances on the road, and the entire rolling mill knew that Master He of the three canteens was good and enthusiastic, so many people knew Silly Zhu
"I didn't expect your popularity in the rolling mill to be so good, I can't see it," Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the person who greeted the stupid pillar and said jokingly to the stupid pillar
"That is, we are also a celebrity in the rolling mill, and no one knows me from the secretary to the workshop."
"Don't be poor, you're still a celebrity, what kind of celebrity are you?"
"Haha, this is not a joke, come and see our rolling mill, which has recruited 1,000 new people on the National Day and added 2 workshops, and the rolling mill is too big, I haven't been to a few places"
"This is also the first time I have come to your factory, your factory is well-known in Sijiu City, one of my uncles is in charge of the superior department of your rolling mill, and I often hear him talk about the rolling mill."
"Yes, I didn't expect to be in the rolling mill for more than 2 years unconsciously, and the master who taught Sichuan cuisine told me not long ago that he wanted me to go to the restaurant, but I still felt that the rolling mill was more comfortable, and there was nothing to do."
"You're just lazy, you can make a small stove in the rolling mill, and you don't need to fry a big pot of dishes", after speaking, he glared at the stupid pillar with beautiful eyes
"Haha, I'm really lazy, my master has said me many times before"
"Silly Zhu, my grandma missed the Huaiyang dishes you made last time, you have time to go over and help my grandma cook them again", Wenren Muxue suddenly thought of the Huaiyang dishes made by Silly Zhu that Grandma mentioned before, and still mentioned this matter to Silly Zhu
"Okay, you see what time is appropriate, I'll do it once, after the old man wants to eat, you can set a time for me to go over, it just so happens that there are also a few Huaiyang dishes in the palace dishes I studied recently, speaking of this, hurry back to the cafeteria, how about you try the new dishes I just studied two days ago", and when Wen Ren Mu Xue nodded, Silly Zhu took her and hurriedly walked towards the canteen
The people in the cafeteria looked at the two of them and smiled, thinking that something was wrong, but they didn't introduce Wenren Muxue to everyone, mainly because they didn't know how to introduce them. took Mu Xue to the back kitchen, fortunately, the hygiene of the back kitchen has been okay recently, not too dirty, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bring someone over
"Mu Xue, you sit and wait, I'll fry it now", it didn't take long for a few dishes to be put in front of Mu Xue, who was a fool, and Mu Xue picked up the chopsticks in his hand in the eyes of Silly Zhu Xi
"What is this round one, it looks very good", Wen Ren Mu Xue pointed to the osmanthus egg and asked the stupid pillar
"Osmanthus eggs, the method is to carry the pot and keep turning the broken eggs with a spoon to make them like this, but the taste of this dish itself is just like that, mainly because of the appearance of Xinyi, how about you taste this cherry meat, I specially found the red wine to make it", looking at the red and appetizing dish in front of him, Twilight Xue still took the first bite
"Sweet and sour, it tastes good, women should like to eat this dish", hearing Wen Ren Mu Xue's words, Silly Zhu nodded with a smile
"Your soup is good, I haven't seen it before, what's the name of it?"
"Mullet egg soup, the ingredients are too difficult to get now, the director of our canteen doesn't know where to get it, I didn't know what I was asked to do, and a person from Shanghai told me that it was called mullet, which happened to be the day when I saw this dish in the recipe."
"It's really good, I have eaten all the dishes you cooked", and before they knew it, the two of them had already eaten all the 3 dishes on the table. chatted with Mu Xue in the back kitchen for a while, and took her to her greenhouse to have a look. Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the fresh vegetables in the greenhouse and was also curious
"You know a lot, I've heard of this greenhouse before, it's the first time I've seen it, but it's really warm inside, what is this?"
"That's medicinal herbs, the piece on your right hand is all medicinal herbs, I have a house where these good medicinal materials are put in it, it's not too far from my courtyard, I have time to take you to see it when I come back, you come and see, the watermelon should be ripe, I saw it once a few days ago It should be ripe in these days, you can take one away when you leave, and the things in it are all planted by me"
"Just take it away, you can help me get one tomorrow, let's go cook for my grandma, I'll bring them over to taste"
"Okay, when will I cook tomorrow, are they all Huaiyang dishes, I have to prepare"
"In the afternoon, don't you get off work at 5 p.m., just go over at 5 o'clock"
After the two discussed the time, they decided on the location, Wenren Muxue left the rolling mill with some cucumbers and tomatoes, and looked at the beautiful woman who was far away, Uncle Wang first opened his mouth and laughed: "Pillar, you kid can tell Uncle what the girl's name was just now."
"Uncle Wang, be careful that I tell my Aunt Wang that you ask me for the name of the little girl, and see if my Aunt Wang will let you go back to kneel on the washboard at night", there was laughter all around, but in the end, the girl's name came from the mouth of the stupid pillar
