Chapter 168 New Year's Eve
Lu Shanmin smiled movedly, "If uncle and auntie can trust me, I can have more contact with Xiao Ming and learn from each other."
Hu Weiyong's wife patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, "What a sensible boy, and he also knows how to be humble."
Looking at the dishes on the table, Lu Shanmin was shocked again. Although he hadn't started eating yet, just by looking at the appearance and smell, he knew that he was definitely not inferior to the chef in the restaurant. It was completely unimaginable that he could be a ruthless person in the shopping mall despite being a self-proclaimed scholar.
The ruthless Hu Weiyong can actually have such cooking skills.
Hu Weiyong's wife brought Hu Ming's meal into the bedroom, and the three of them gathered around a simple dining table.
"Mountain people, eat quickly, you're welcome." Hu Weiyong's wife said with a smile.
Hu Weiyong poured two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, I am actually a good family man."
Lu Shanmin really didn’t expect that “Mr. Hu really opened my eyes.”
Before Hu Weiyong's wife could speak, Hu Weiyong quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Hu."
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said he was used to being called "Mr. Hu", but the word "Uncle Hu" was really hard to say.
"Hu, uncle, uncle".
"Hey, that's right. Men, no matter how high-ranking an official they are outside or how respectable a wealthy businessman they are, they will play the role of husband and father when they return home."
Lu Shanmin nodded in agreement, "Uncle Hu is right."
Hu Weiyong's wife smiled proudly and said, "He didn't say this, it was me who created it."
Hu Weiyong smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, this sentence is your aunt's original creation. She has been telling me about it all these years and she has been nagging me in front of me a lot."
Hu Weiyong's wife glared at Hu Weiyong and said, "You have to thank me, otherwise look at the fate of Gao Junfeng and Li Chuan, and they will be almost like beggars."
Hu Weiyong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's all because of my wife's good education."
Seeing the old couple flirting and flirting, Lu Shanmin grinned and giggled.
"Come on, let me introduce my masterpiece to you first." Hu Weiyong proudly raised his chopsticks and pointed at a table of dishes.
Hu Weiyong's wife smiled and glanced at Hu Weiyong, "I just love playing the harp."
Hu Weiyong pointed to the dishes on the table, "This is Gu Sansi. It is the best of Donghai cuisine. Although it is inconspicuous, it takes only a few years to make it. First of all, the knife skills must be good, and the slices must not exceed three millimeters."
, the vertical surface cannot exceed two millimeters, and the selection of materials is even more particular. The pork should be on the buttocks. The chicken can only be the chicken breast, and the bamboo shoots can only be winter bamboo shoots, and the shells must be removed until there is no shell left.
Fresh and tender bamboo shoot hearts. The best ham is Jinhua ham." He said and gave Lu Shanmin a pair of chopsticks, "Try it."
Lu Shanmin put it in his mouth and savored it for a moment, "It's salty and pleasant, fragrant and delicious."
"Hahahaha", Hu Weiyong laughed in a rare way, "knowledgeable".
As he spoke, he was about to introduce other dishes to Lu Shanmin. Hu Weiyong's wife quickly interrupted, "It's enough just to make a noise, and I won't let anyone eat."
In the past, every time he came into contact with Hu Weiyong, Lu Shanmin tensed up his nerves, because there might be something wrong with every word he said, and every subtle expression might imply a deeper meaning. But today, Hu Weiyong and his wife are so natural and easy-going.
The atmosphere was so harmonious, and this meal made him feel particularly relaxed. He had thought about various scenarios before coming here, but he never imagined that it would be such a relaxing meal.
I have to say that Hu Weiyong's cooking skills are very good. Except for the steak meal he and Zeng Yaqian had at a Western restaurant last time, the dishes Hu Weiyong cooked were the most delicious dishes Lu Shanmin has ever eaten in his life.
After dinner and wine, Hu Weiyong's wife began to clear away the dishes on the table. Lu Shanmin wanted to help, but Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "Your aunt and I will work together, so don't take away her work."
Hu Weiyong's wife also smiled and said: "You two go to the study to chat, I will leave this place to you."
Hu Weiyong's study room is not big, but one wall is covered with bookshelves, and the books on the shelves are neatly arranged. Although not as many as those in the old professor's home, it still looks very shocking. His book collection is different from that of the old professor, who
The books at home include astronomy, geography, social sciences, literature and history, and most of them are old. Hu Weiyong's book collection is more about history, geography and some recent best-sellers.
On Hu Weiyong's desk are a copy of "The Weaknesses of Human Nature" and a copy of "The Strengths of Human Nature".
Seeing Lu Shanmin looking at these two books, he asked, "Do you want to read them?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't understand such a profound book. I still have some books that I haven't finished yet."
Hu Weiyong picked up two books and smiled helplessly, "Actually, I'm just a high school graduate, but I love reading, or I admire the style of scholars, so I started to study. Over the years, I gradually put myself into
Become a scholar."
As he spoke, he patted the two books in his hands and said, "Not long ago, a distant relative came to my house as a guest. He is a professor. I brought him into this study. What do you think he said?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head.
Hu Weiyong smiled bitterly, "He pointed at the two books in my hand and said that real scholars would never read such books."
Lu Shanmin frowned and looked at Hu Weiyong in surprise, "Is there such a thing as this?"
Hu Weiyong threw the two books into the trash can.
Lu Shanmin looked at Hu Weiyong in confusion, "Why is this?"
Hu Weiyong smiled and said, "Wanting to be a scholar all my life is just a joke in the end. It's just like Wang Dahu sharpening his head and wanting to be a Donghai native is a joke. I don't know what a scholar is at all, just like Wang Dahu doesn't know what a scholar is.
Just like the people from the East China Sea."
Lu Shanmin looked at Hu Weiyong blankly, but his words resonated with him. In fact, he didn't know what a scholar was or what a Donghai person was. But the difference was that he didn't bother to think about it at all. He just took a step
Just do what you need to do in front of you.
"Mountain people, I grew up in the East China Sea. Although I am still far away from the real upper class, I have seen a lot of people from all walks of life, especially outsiders like you. Don't think that there are few people like Wang Dahu.
In fact, there are more, but they are more courageous. They have low self-esteem and are arrogant at the same time. They are dissatisfied and feel that society is unfair to them. They are obsessed with getting ahead and even do whatever it takes, but most people end up miserable. Instead, it is outsiders like you.
I have rarely seen people, and you are different from others. I am really curious about where you will go in the future."
