Chapter 382 The Yi Family
Li Qin did it on purpose. He specifically chose the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when all the residents had prepared delicious food, and then used a magic spell to spread the aroma of the food.
This will stimulate the residents of the courtyard houses.
This way he can gather the power of emotions.
Soon, the four dishes were ready, and Li Qin didn't care what the residents of the courtyard were thinking.
He carried the food to the restaurant with a happy expression.
Although he only brought four dishes on the surface, Li Qin took out several more dishes that he had stored in his storage ring after they were placed on the table.
The end result was that Li Qin's dining table was filled with dishes.
In addition to food, there are also some fruit juices and alcoholic beverages.
"This can also be considered a celebration of my first Mid-Autumn Festival since I traveled through time."
After Li Qin finished speaking, he began to eat with his chopsticks.
He doesn't pay much attention to table manners when he eats; he just does whatever makes him comfortable.
Anyway, Li Qin lives alone, so he doesn't need to worry about what others think.
Li Qin enjoyed the meal, but the atmosphere was awkward in many of the courtyard houses.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone has prepared some delicious food.
Things that we usually wouldn't eat or drink, were all brought to the table today.
However, after smelling the aroma of Li Qin's home-cooked meals, the appeal of the food immediately diminished.
These residents glanced instinctively in the direction of Li Qin's house in the backyard, their eyes filled with helplessness.
In the end, all they could do was sigh and lament.
Because even if people felt uncomfortable, they had no excuse to cause trouble for Li Qin.
Who can blame them when someone else is such a good cook?
While Li Qin was eating, Yi Zhonghai's home in the Intermediate People's Court was still very lively.
Although Yi Zhonghai's family originally consisted of only two people, there were several more people today;
One was the deaf old lady in the backyard, and the other was He Yuzhu.
At this moment, the deaf old lady sat at the head of the table, with Yi Zhonghai and his wife sitting on either side of her, while He Yuzhu sat at the lower end.
On the table in front of them, some food was also laid out;
Moreover, both the quantity and quality are excellent.
Braised pork belly, twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs, stir-fried vegetables, and a chicken soup.
As for the staple food, it is steamed buns made from a mixture of two types of flour.
Although it's made from two types of flour, it's easy to tell from the color of the steamed buns that a high proportion of wheat flour is present.
"Grandma, all the food on this table today was made by Zhuzi, so it must taste really good. Please eat more."
Yi Zhonghai introduced the product to the deaf old woman with a smile.
Upon hearing this, a light flashed in the deaf old woman's eyes.
In the past, the meals that Yi Zhonghai brought her were cooked by an older woman, who was just an ordinary housewife.
The food I cook can only be considered home-style cooking; it's not bad, but it's not particularly good either.
The deaf old lady was also a glutton.
She didn't say anything bad just to be considerate of the older woman and Yi Zhonghai.
Upon hearing that He Yuzhu had prepared today's meals, and hearing the aroma of the food, the deaf old woman instantly noticed the difference.
The deaf old woman immediately turned her head and looked at He Yuzhu kindly, then nodded and said;
"Alright, then I'll have a good taste of your cooking, my grandson!"
At this moment, He Yuzhu revealed a smug look on his face;
He Yuzhu might lack confidence in other areas, but he is very confident in his culinary skills.
After all, the He family can be considered a family of chefs.
Her cooking skills are naturally unmatched by the average person.
After the deaf old woman finished speaking, she didn't stand on ceremony with the others and immediately picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and started chewing.
next second.
A bright smile blossomed on the deaf old woman's face.
She nodded in praise to He Yuzhu:
"Grandson, your skills are truly exceptional. After two more years of cooking experience, even He Daqing will likely be no match for you."
I was initially in a good mood when I heard the deaf old lady praise He Yuzhu, but after hearing her mention He Daqing...
He Yuzhu's smile vanished instantly.
A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
A smile flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes upon seeing this scene.
Although Yi Zhonghai was very happy, he still tried to persuade He Yuzhu on the surface.
"Zhu Zi, since the Qing Dynasty chose to abandon you, that's the choice they made. Now that it's all over, don't dwell on it."
What you should be doing now is living your life well, so that no one will look down on you.
Although Yi Zhonghai seemed to be comforting He Yuzhu, a closer look at his words reveals his sinister intentions.
This was a subtle way of telling He Yuzhu to give up any feelings he might have for He Daqing.
If others were a little more rational, they might have noticed something amiss in Yi Zhonghai's words.
But He Yuzhu was completely unaware.
The reason is that He Daqing's departure had a great impact on He Yuzhu's mental and psychological state.
Whenever He Daqing is involved, He Yuzhu is unable to think calmly and rationally.
He Yuzhu was affected by his emotions, so he did not notice the abnormality in Yi Zhonghai's words;
The older woman, unaware of Yi Zhonghai's true nature and not considering him in a negative light, also failed to notice the inappropriateness in his words.
But the deaf old lady was different;
This old lady was extremely shrewd; she sensed something was amiss the moment Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth.
However, the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai were in a community of shared interests, so even though she saw something was wrong, she did not sabotage him.
Instead, they continued eating the food on the table.
"Alright, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Don't think about bad things. Let's eat."
After taking a few bites, the deaf old woman finally spoke.
Upon hearing her words, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu immediately nodded.
Just as the group raised their glasses to drink, they suddenly smelled a rich and enticing aroma of food.
The aroma instantly overwhelmed the food He Yuzhu had prepared.
The group of people, who had been looking happy, suddenly froze.
Over time, they all realized that the only person in the courtyard who could cook such tempting dishes was Li Qin in the backyard.
Unfortunately, they all had a bad relationship with Li Qin.
Even the deaf old lady never had the chance to eat Li Qin's family's food.
Now that they could smell the odor again, their mood was naturally not very good.
He Yuzhu's face was even more gloomy.
Seeing this, the deaf old woman immediately smiled at He Yuzhu and said;
"My dear grandson, don't overthink it. You have a culinary lineage. As long as you have time to practice and accumulate experience, it won't be long before your cooking skills surpass those of that kid in the backyard."
Hearing the deaf old woman's words, He Yuzhu's expression softened slightly.
A look of confidence suddenly flashed in his eyes;
"Li Qin does cook home-style dishes better than me, but what I truly inherit is the Tan family cuisine. If I had the ingredients, I would show him what real culinary skills are."
He Yuzhu's tone was very certain.
Yi Zhonghai didn't know the details of Tan Family Cuisine, he had only heard of its reputation.
He also knew about the He family's inheritance of Tan family cuisine, so he didn't doubt He Yuzhu's words.
