Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 159 Jia Dongxu

"Don't marry, don't marry!" Zheng Gouzi shook his head like a rattle, he doesn't want to marry a wife, isn't it good to live alone, except for eating, which is not good, but freedom!
He eats enough for one person, and the whole family is not hungry. He can do whatever he wants, and he can go home whenever he wants.

No one is in charge, so he doesn't find someone to spend his own money, but also manages himself.

He hurriedly changed the topic, this topic can't be talked any more, otherwise Zhang Yu told his sister-in-law one day that the enthusiasm of the aunt in the yard who introduced him to him, which he had so hard to dispel, might come back again.

Thinking of the scene where the aunt in the courtyard took him to introduce him to the object every day two years ago, he shivered uncommonly.

"Xiaoyu, who made this pickle? It tastes good." Zheng Gouzi praised.

"I made it."

"You still have this skill." Zheng Gouzi was a little skeptical. Why is it that they are all the same people? They can cook good food and make such delicious pickles, but he can't even cook a slightly normal meal. Come out, he doesn't lack anything compared to others!

Well, he also admitted that the so-called porridge he made was really not for human consumption.

"Of course, I will make a lot more. I also pickled the salted duck eggs you eat." Since he signed in from the system and got a book teaching pickles, his interest in pickling things has risen.

The prologue of that book was written by the five top chefs of later generations.

In order to write this book, they personally read all the pickles from ancient times to the present, from south to north, and then experimented again and again.

It took more than 20 years, and finally selected 300 kinds of pickling methods, improved them to suit more people's tastes, and wrote down the detailed steps in the book.

In fact, this book is what they plan to use to train future generations. I don't know where the system got it from?

When he first got this book, he was particularly interested in it, so he marinated thirty or forty tanks of things in the space, and half of the tanks were the kind that hold water in this era. large tank.

After marinating, when the taste is the best, put them in the still space on the lower floor, and pick them up when you eat them.

Not only that, he also pickled a lot of things outside the secret space, those things were pickled in front of everyone, and it was also for the things he took out to pickle in the future as a cover.

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zheng Gouzi's eyes lit up.

"Brother Xiaoyu, what do you think about our relationship?"

"Speak up if you have something to say."

"Hey, can you spare some time to pickle some pickles for me? Hey, I don't pick the type, as long as I can eat it."

Anyway, I went to Zhang Yu's house to eat so many times, and I also know Xiaoyu's craftsmanship. Besides, even if the cooking is not delicious, it is better than his hands, isn't it?
Looking at Zheng Gouzi's expression, Zhang Yu couldn't bear to look directly at him, and an old man showed such a flattering expression.

"Forget it, you don't need to prepare anything, I have pickled some time ago and it is ready to eat, you go to my place and get some back."

"Is that not good?" Zheng Gouzi was obviously very happy, but still pretended to be a little embarrassed.

"Why are you being polite to me? I also pickled a lot a while ago, enough to eat."

"Since you've said that, then I won't be polite." Zheng Gouzi was waiting for his words, and when he heard Cha's words, he immediately nodded in agreement.

He didn't care about eating anymore, so he followed Zhang Yu to the backyard, and then looked at the big and small vats that Zhang Yu put in the kitchen.

Surprised, he said, "You did all of this?"

"Of course, try it, which flavor do you like?"

Zhang Yu opened the lid first, and then took a little out of each tank for him to taste.

"I like them all."

In the end, Zheng Gouzi happily left with a small jar of spicy dried radish and a large bowl of pickled peppers.

When he was leaving, Zhang Yu said that he would come back after eating.

"I know, I will definitely come over after eating." Regarding this point, Zheng Gouzi has never been polite, at worst he collected more raw materials for Zhang Yu.

After walking away with these things for a while, Zheng Gouzi came with another box.

"Xiaoyu, do you see what I have come to give you?"

"what?"

"I forgot to give you this thing just now." Zheng Gouzi said and handed the small box in his hand to Zhang Yu.

"What is this?" Looking at the small locked box, Zhang Yu studied it over and over again, and finally shook it vigorously, wanting to hear what kind of sound the things inside would make.

"You can't shake it, and the things inside can't be shaken." Seeing Zhang Yu's movements, Zheng Gouzi hurriedly stopped him.

Then he stopped playing tricks on Zhang Yu, took out a small key, and opened the box.

The next thing that caught Zhang Yu's eyes was a box of various jade articles, large and small, and some small goldfish.

"This is the payment for this time. According to your idea, I have replaced these things for you. I don't know if you like it or not?"

"I like it, Brother Zheng, I like these things very much." Zhang Yu saw that he didn't look at those little goldfishes, but touched those jade objects fondly, and lamented the advantages of these jade objects from time to time.

"I knew you liked it. When I sold it, I specially looked for those who have these things in their homes."

Zhang Yu looked at it for a long time before he was reluctant to let it go, "Brother Zheng, I will trouble you this time."

"No trouble, no trouble, I should be the one who said thank you. The batch of things you made solved a big trouble for me and made me a lot of money."

For Zheng Gouzi, this batch of things came at the right time. Although he has some face outside, it is only in the nearby one-acre three-point land. He is a big shot in the black market, and the most important thing is that the brothers under him are more convinced by him.

The two chatted for a while before Zheng Gouzi started talking about Jia Dongxu.

"Xiaoyu, how much do you know about Jia Dongxu?" After two days of investigation and monitoring, Zheng Gouzi and the others didn't find anything out of the ordinary about Jia Dongxu.

When I took revenge on Jia Dongxu last year, it was easy to catch him.

I don't know if it's because of what happened last year that he is more careful now, or he is not doing those things anymore.

So he wanted to ask Zhang Yu to see if he could find a breakthrough from other aspects.

"I basically don't have much contact with him at ordinary times. At most, I met outside to say hello." Zhang Yu searched his memory again, trying to recall every meeting and every communication with him clearly.
