Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 532

In this era, the folk customs are conservative, and people's thinking consciousness is also very backward.

When the spring breeze blows, I am afraid to face new things.

As a woman, Yu Li was able to use her years of savings to open a restaurant despite the worldly vision and tremendous pressure.

And the restaurant is also running impressively, which shows that it has the potential of a strong woman.

As for the later resignation of Sha Zhu because of a dispute with Sha Zhu, and being teased by Sha Zhu, that doesn't mean that there is something wrong with Yu Li's character.

When running a private restaurant, the emphasis is on profit, so it is inevitable to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Silly Zhu relied on himself as a chef, and the lion opened his mouth, asking for a monthly salary of 2500 yuan.

The 80 yuan in the 2500s was about the same as the 25 yuan in later generations. According to the housing prices in the capital at that time, it was enough to buy a house in the capital.

And every day, I have to fry a few dishes specially, and take them home to enjoy by myself.

They were all a little surprised to see Yu Li come back.

At this time, it has not been a few years since Yu Li opened a restaurant, and Yu Li has already started planning to open a restaurant, so she naturally knows a lot about various dishes.

Seeing Yu Li carrying a paper bag and going out, Guan Tingting couldn't bear it.

"Hong Chang, why don't I go see Yu Li's sister, it's already dark now, she's a family of girls, it's not convenient for her to walk alone."

Under the dim streetlight at the door, a group of old men and women were sitting there doing daily chores, and a few children were playing small games, and the air was filled with joyful atmosphere.

The second sister-in-law pursed her mouth: "It's too wasteful to make braised pork. We should cut it into small pieces and eat a little every meal. The children have been craving meat for a while, and this time it will let them enjoy their meat addiction."

Wang Weidong's words made Yu Li speechless, she could only nod and sit down.

Back in the courtyard, Mrs. Wang still didn't learn her lesson, she gossiped around and was disgusted by the residents of the courtyard.

Walking to the front of her house, she heard the voice of her brother and sister-in-law from inside the house. Yu Li straightened her clothes, suppressed the anger on her face, and smiled to herself.

"It turns out that he has something to do, so I'm back by myself." Yu Li suppressed her grief and anger, and smiled at her brothers and sisters-in-law.

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Li and said, "Comrade Yu Li, if you don't mind, let me see you off."

"You, you, Yu Li, you."

"Wang's mother-in-law, you are really lenient. You are so capable. Why did you let your son and daughter-in-law rush back? Even to see your grandson, you have to apply to your daughter-in-law in advance."

"Don't talk about outsiders, we are neighbors, and we should help each other."

"What me! If I hear you gossiping behind your back again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Under the reflection of the light, the meat in the paper bag exudes a bright red luster.

Aunt Wang's blocking the way made Yu Li's bad mood even worse.

"Heh, you're so interesting." Yu Li covered her mouth and smiled.

"Then, then I will bother you."

Looking at Wang Weidong's back, Yu Li sighed in her heart, if only Yan Jiecheng could be so understanding.

Wang Weidong nodded: "Of course, it happens that I am also interested in the local dishes of the capital, so we can communicate with each other."

He took out the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, put them on the table, and smiled.

The business philosophy of the husband and wife is different, and they quarrel all day long because of the restaurant.

Wang Weidong's kind attitude moved Yu Li a little.

Known daughter Mo Ruomu, although Yu Li concealed it very well, but Yu's mother still saw some clues.

In the main room, two elder brothers, two sister-in-laws, and Yu Li's mother were sitting and chatting.

People in this era still cherish food very much. If you drop a grain of rice while eating, you have to pick it up and stuff it into your mouth, let alone this big table dish.

After Yu Li finished speaking, she ignored Mrs. Wang who almost fainted from anger, and turned her buttocks into the courtyard.

People in this era are conservative, and the divorce rate is very low. Generally, as long as there is no principled conflict, they will not get divorced.

A little embarrassed, he said: "Director Liu, let's go here, otherwise those people will see it, and some will gossip."

Yu Li's natal family lives at No. 28 Yimao Hutong, which is also a large courtyard, similar to a courtyard.

In the end, the couple couldn't stand her anymore, so they drove her back to the courtyard, only to visit her when they were free.

Besides, her son is not the kind with soft ears, otherwise he would have to divorce his wife.

The Beijing branch of Lanhua Automobile Factory is under construction. As the director of the factory, Wang Weidong must have a lot of things to do every day. It is really rare that he is willing to take the time to teach him cooking skills.

With the whole family of the Yan family dragging their feet behind, even the second horse can't make a big deal.

Yu Li was not the kind of doormat, she didn't dare to speak out after suffering a loss, so she immediately looked at Aunt Wang's family with a cold face.

The main reason why Yu Li sublets the hotel is that she was pulled back by the Yan family, and Yan Xiecheng is a short-sighted person.

When it came to cooking, the two were too involved, so when Li realized it, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening and the sky was dark.

Yu Li, if you can do it, you can definitely do it.

Seeing that Yu Li was silent, Mrs. Wang shrugged and said, "Yu Li, are you someone outside?"

Although both Yu Qinghua and Yu Zhenshan have jobs, they also have many children. Yu Qinghua has three sons, and Yu Zhenshan has two sons and two daughters.

Guan Tingting's worries are not unreasonable. With the rapid growth of the population and the increase of young people returning to the city, the capital city of this era is much worse than it was more than ten years ago.

Yu Li has always hated people who gossip, and this lady of the Wang family is the best in the courtyard.

Yu Li made up her mind and became more confident. She raised her head and walked into the courtyard.

"There is also that bicycle, have you seen it? There is a light on the front of the bicycle, but Yan's bicycle is broken, and there is no light at all."

Yu's mother has been silent since Yu Li came in. It's not that she doesn't care about Yu Li, but she is observing Yu Li's expression.

This is not a head chef, he is simply an uncle.

These words directly hit Aunt Wang's sore spot, her face flushed as red as a pig's liver.

Yu Li recognized the old lady with the help of the dim street lamp: "Aunt Wang, didn't my mother get sick a few days ago? I'll come back to see her old man."

You know, Shazhu's eighth-level chef is only the lowest level among chefs.

After tasting a few mouthfuls of the dishes, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Liu Hongchang and said, "Although these dishes are not Beijing dishes, they have a special flavor. Even if they are placed in those foreign-related restaurants, they are considered top-notch."

In addition, their daughter-in-law's situation is similar to Yu Li's, and neither has a serious job, so the family's life is not good.

Seeing that Yu Li was a little cautious, Guan Tingting stood up and took the initiative to put the food in her bowl.

"Yu Li, come to me."

For example, the daughter-in-law is gluttonous, the daughter-in-law is lazy, and the daughter-in-law does not take care of the children.

Yu Li walked to Mother Yu and took out the paper bag from her canvas pocket.

A dinner party, the host and guest enjoy themselves.

It's really brave, I didn't see so many people, but when I saw Yu Li, I ran away!
This girl is not someone who can be manipulated casually. When she was young, she dared to chase and beat a child who was a head taller than her.

However, it's not that Yu Li's restaurant can't continue without Sha Zhu, so it's sublet to Yu Haitang.

In this case, it is reasonable to dismiss Silly Zhu.

"Hey, look, are Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng back?"

"Really? I happen to be interested in cooking too. Brother Hong Chang, if I have time, can I ask you about cooking?" Yu Li said.

If Sha Zhu is really good at cooking, wouldn't he be able to get a job in those big restaurants after leaving Yu Li's restaurant?

It's just because of the stupid chicken thief, after so many years, the fat man hasn't learned the real craft from him.

"It's not Yan Jiecheng, who is that? Looking at them, they seem a little close."

Yu Li suffered a big loss.

"it is good!"

Wang Weidong rolled out his bicycle, and under Guan Tingting's gaze, he carried Yu Li on the bicycle and sank into the darkness.

There are a sea of ​​chefs with high skill levels in the capital, and Sha Zhu is not conspicuous at all.

"Yu Li, the dishes I cook today belong to you. If you leave, the two of us won't be able to finish the meals. Isn't that a waste? Our conditions are just a little bit, that's all." Isn't it inappropriate to waste food?"

Wang Weidong chuckled, and said, "Comrade Yu Li, you've said countless thank yous today. If I were a big drummer, I'd definitely be blown away by you."

When Guan Tingting heard that Wang Weidong was praised, she felt sweet in her heart, and said with a smile: "Of course, you Hongchang brother, when you were in Ningzhou City, you were a famous chef. You beat the chefs of several restaurants. Responsible for receiving guests from the south."

Yu Li looked at Wang Weidong generously and said, "Director Liu, I will trouble you."

"Hey, Yu Li, who was that comrade just now? I don't think he looks like your guy."

"Isn't this the girl from Lao Yu's family? It's so late, why are you back?"

Regarding this point, after Shazhu left Yu Li's restaurant, he never got a high salary again, and the economic conditions have been declining all the way, which is the biggest evidence.

"Mother, I heard that you are not in good health, so I bought two catties of meat and sent it back so that you can replenish your health."

Those young people who didn't find a job wandered the streets all day, and it was indeed a bit dangerous for Yu Li to be alone.

Yu Li's two elder brothers have completely opposite personalities. Yu Zhenshan is a worker in a timber factory, with a bad temper, a big-bodied and thick-skinned guy, and a loud voice.

"Director Liu is still a chef, so I have to try it out." Yu Li became a little less restrained when she heard this.

After boosting her confidence, Yu Li knocked on the door.

Seeing the meat, the sister-in-law stood up: "Tsk tsk, such a big piece of meat, mother, shall we make braised pork?"

She likes to gossip the most. She used to live with her son and daughter-in-law, and would say bad things about her daughter-in-law in front of her son every day.

Neither Yu Qinghua nor Yu Zhenshan said anything, but turned their attention to Yu Li.

The second elder brother Yu Qinghua said: "Xie Cheng is a regular worker. He has to go to work every day, so it must be hard work. My little sister is fine, so don't complain."

Yu Zhenshan muttered: "Xie Cheng is true, it's so unsafe for a lesbian to walk in the middle of the night, so he can rest assured?"

"Okay, not much to say, I have to go back quickly."

It is estimated that more than half of the daily turnover of Yu Li's restaurant should be subsidized to Sha Zhu.

Hearing the discussions of the old men and old ladies, Yu Li realized that she was almost at her mother's house, and hurriedly tugged at the corner of Wang Weidong's clothes.

Seeing a bicycle approaching, the old men and women stood up and looked this way.

Although Guan Tingting wasn't too wary of Li, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing the two leaving while talking and laughing.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by an old lady.

After finishing speaking, Yu Li stepped forward and wanted to enter the courtyard, but she was stopped by Aunt Wang again.

Wang Weidong gently pinched the brake, the bicycle stopped steadily, and Yu Li jumped off the back seat.

Walking up to Wang Weidong, he said gratefully, "Director Liu, thank you so much today."

They have not eaten meat for more than half a year.

"Sister Yu Li, you may not know that Hong Chang used to be a great chef, even higher than Sha Zhu. Their chefs have a bad habit, that is, they are not happy with the dishes they make if the guests can't eat them. So, you should eat more today."

"The woman seems to be Yu Li, and the man is probably not Yan Jiecheng. He is much taller than Yan Jiecheng."

"Zhenshan, Qinghua, stop talking."

Thinking of Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li began to worry about how to tell her parents about the divorce when she went back home.

"Yu Li, what about Xie Cheng? Why are you back alone?"

She made up her mind to study cooking hard from tomorrow, so that she will have common topics with Wang Weidong.

The eldest brother Yu Zhenshan ran over, looked outside, and was a little puzzled when he saw that Yan Jiecheng was not there.

Yu Qinghua is a primary school teacher. He is gentle, wears a pair of eyes, and speaks slowly.

Wang Weidong looked at Guan Tingting and said with a smile: "Cousin, you sent Yu Li back. When you come back, you still have to be alone? I'm not worried."

Although Guan Tingting didn't want Wang Weidong to send Yu Li off, she also knew that Wang Weidong's worries were not unreasonable.

At this time, Yu Li already had a good impression of Wang Weidong, and as a woman, she was always a little less courageous, and she was also afraid of walking at night.

Therefore, Wang Weidong has a good impression of Li.

Don't think about it anymore, let's take a step, take a look, anyway, I can't stay in Yan's house anymore.

The group of old men and women under the telegraph poles all showed gloating expressions when they saw Mrs. Wang's slump.

The two of them knew the situation of Yan's family very well. Yan Xiecheng was a first-class fitter, and Yu Li had no job.

Where will there be money to buy meat.

As for Yan Bugui, that's even more impossible!
Yu's mother didn't seem to see the piece of meat, and kept her eyes on Yu Li.

"Li'er, what's the matter with this meat? Also, you seem to be in the wrong mood today. Did you have a conflict with Xie Cheng? If the root cause is this piece of meat, you can take the meat back now. I'm already half ashes, old lady." The buried person has bad teeth and can't bite the flesh anymore."
