Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 618, Meditation

"You promise to provide for me in my old age?" Jia Zhang asked.

"If you don't believe that we can have a meeting tonight after the three uncles come back, I, Liu Zhaodi, will promise to support you in your old age in front of everyone in the hospital!"

Jia Zhang finally nodded.

"Jiang Yan, can I ask you a favor?" Liu Zhaodi said.

"You said it," Jiang Yan said.

"That's it, do you think you can let He Yuzhu guide me and teach me some cooking skills? You also understand the nature of our work. Working in the kitchen, without any cooking skills, you can reach level eight at most. Of course, I won't let He Yuzhu. Teach me the secrets that are not taught, just ordinary home cooking and big pot rice.”

I have to say that Brother Liu Zhao is quite smart and knows where to use his energy.

"Okay, I'll tell Zhuzi when I get back." Jiang Yan nodded.

However, although these words were said like this, it also sounded a warning in Jiang Yan's heart. Although he could ask Zhu Zhu to teach Liu Zhaodi some cooking skills, he was not prepared to let He Yuzhu come in person. In the past few years, under Jiang Yan's persuasion, He Yuzhu has taken on many apprentices, many of whom have become chefs in the institute's cafeteria. Their teaching is enough, and Jiang Yan doesn't want He Yuzhu and the others to have too much contact with them.

But what makes Jiang Yan more strange is that according to what Jiang Yan said just now, according to the TV series, Jia Zhang will definitely behave and roll around, but after observing for a long time, there was no reaction, which is a bit strange and feels a bit strange. Like Jia Zhang.

But Jiang Yan didn't think about it carefully. As long as their family doesn't mess with them, it's fine.

"Xiao Jiang, this aunt has something else to ask you for." Mrs. Jia Zhang then spoke.

"You said."

"Look, Jia Dongxu passed away, and we need a cook to do this. Can one of Liu Zi and Zhu Zhu come over to help?" Jia Zhang said.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, they are cooks after all, but they also have their own rules. Generally, it costs a little to do things. Of course, we won't charge that much in a yard, but rules are rules. "

"Aunt Zhang, you also know that there are a lot of people in our yard, and there are a lot of weddings and funerals. Your family doesn't charge, and it's not appropriate for others to charge. You think about it, and if it's okay, I'll tell Zhu Zhu and the others."

Before Jia Zhang could speak, Brother Liu Zhao next to him said, "Okay, just follow the rules and give us a cheaper price."

"No, let's beg him for a while. For the sake of our orphans and widowed mothers, he might not accept our money. Why did you agree? We can save a little money." After Jiang Yan left, Jia Zhang asked Liu Zhaodi a little puzzled. "Mom, you haven't seen it yet. If he can't force it today, he won't care about our affairs at all. He can say so much today and help me tell Shazhu to teach me my craft. This is his limit. If you talk too much, you will definitely annoy people. We already have a normal relationship with our family, so if you annoy him, it will do us no good." Liu Zhaodi said.

Back in his small courtyard, Jiang Yan no longer felt sleepy. He always felt that something was not right about today's events. This Jia Zhang family was a bit too calm. Logically speaking, he was the one who caused unreasonable disturbances. Today, he It's a bit incredible that he actually listened to his advice. Could it be that this was all an act? Jiang Yan was a bit puzzled.

Sitting under the vines in the yard, Jiang Yan went to the kitchen to cut two preserved eggs, made a plate of peanuts, and bought a pound of rice wine from the cellar, then sat there by himself and drank.

I took a sip of wine, then took out a special cigar from my space and took a sip. The special cigar in my space was something that was given to me as a reward before. I kept it in my space and was reluctant to smoke it. I just took it today. When I came out and smoked one, I had to say that this cigar was particularly fragrant, better than any other cigarette I had ever smoked.

After taking a sip, Jiang Yan then took a sip of wine, and his thoughts began to get confused. He had been in this world for twelve years in the blink of an eye. The bustling world in his previous life had long been blurred, and he was becoming more and more accustomed to living here. , and have adapted to the current life. To be honest, although materials are still tight now, I am quite satisfied with my current life, and I am also much happier.

Perhaps due to his participation, the courtyard is different from what he saw in the TV series. Originally, the third uncle Yan Bugui in the TV series was a bit stingy. He still had to have the bottom line, and he wanted to teach him well. He, but after a long time Jiang Yan discovered that his so-called bottom line was the bottom line of an old-school literati. He was selfish, small-minded, and a grassroots person. If you have breasts, you are a mother. He showed this aspect vividly. Under the influence of the third uncle Yan Bugui, their family members are better than others.

Here’s the person in the second uncle’s bangs! In the TV series, people did everything possible to become an official, but after actually becoming an official, Jiang Yan found that the person who changed the most seemed to be him, especially after learning culture under Jiang Yan's guidance, he changed a lot, and He still followed Jiang Yan's lead. It could be said that he was his spokesperson in the courtyard.

After the eldest son left, under his own persuasion, the environment of the second and third eldest children also changed a lot. There was a happy scene in their home, which surprised Jiang Yan.

As for Yi Zhonghai, you can't completely say that he is a good person. He is a bit like the Virgin Mary of later generations. Especially after adopting two children and raising an elderly person, Jiang Yan found that although he had changed a lot, Sometimes he still feels like a moral god in TV dramas, but he still has a certain prestige in the courtyard house because he handles conflicts between neighbors fairly.

But now without the old lady's endorsement, Jiang Yan probably wouldn't be able to make any waves.

What surprised Jiang Yan the most was Mrs. Jia Zhang. She was completely different from the ones in the TV series. Although she was still mischievous, she was not as outrageous as other authors wrote. If you think about it, you will understand that she is not the backbone of the family. She If he had not been more aggressive, he would not have been defeated in this world, but according to Jiang Yan's understanding, this Jia Zhang was a very smart person.

However, her specialty of summoning Lao Jia is still her trump card.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao have become friends now. In short, with Jiang Yan's more or less participation, this courtyard is very different from the one in the TV series. The most intuitive thing is that there are no frequent meeting scenes in the TV series. Many, every meeting is to promote policies and pay New Year greetings.

In short, Jiang Yan does not participate in, disturb, hear or ask about the things in the courtyard next door. He lets them develop on their own. He only cares about the people around him. As for whether Jia Zhang will turn black after Jia Dongxu's death. , that's not his own business. Anyway, if he dares to cause trouble for himself, he will be beaten to death with a stick. Jiang Yan doesn't want to be sloppy in doing things. I still have a lot to do, and I don’t have the energy to compete with these people.
