Jinbuju is particularly lively today. When Yan knew that Yao Si would bring a few friends from the academy to visit, he closed Guiyun Pavilion home to cook early. However, the population was large and the food was rich. When Yao Si and his group entered the door, the food was not ready.

Yan came out of the kitchen when he heard the sound and saw a young man following Yao Si. She knew this man, the eldest son of the Wu family. Yan gave Yao Si a wink, and the latter understood and took Wu Shiwei to the main hall, while Lan Xin put down her burden and went straight to the kitchen.

Wu Shiwei first gave Yan a junior gift, and then followed into the main hall. Yao Zheng played chess with Zheng and Chen Jinhai. Mao Xiucai sat aside and watched seriously, muttering from time to time. Suddenly, Mao Xiucai slapped his thighs, pointed to the chessboard and frowned. The meaning was obvious: How to play this chess, it was a mistake.

Chen Jinhai shrugged helplessly, "How can my chess skills be better than my boss? Brother Xiucai, please stop talking about me. Come on, come on, come on." As he said that, he gave up his position to Xiucai Mao.

Yao Si was also very happy when he saw this situation. Thinking about the time a year ago, his parents were still growing crops in the field. When the autumn harvest was over, they might even have much food left in their hands. Now it’s better. Although the operation of Guiyun Pavilion is also tiring, at least it’s his own income.

"Dad, Mr. Mao, Mr. Chen..." Yao Si stepped into the threshold and greeted the three of them with a smile. Wu Shiwei also quickly gave the gift. He didn't know the two in the room, so he consciously introduced himself.

Chen Jinhai and Mao Xiucai looked at Wu Shiwei and both liked him very much, so he hurriedly asked him to sit down. Although it was the relationship between elders and younger generations, Wu Shiwei had also seen the world and had a way of getting along with elders. Soon, the few people started chatting, and Yao Si went to the kitchen to help Yan.

Yao General was in the kitchen, and Yao Si was a little surprised. His father never let him go into the kitchen more.

"Second sister, do you eat?" Yao Jiang handed Yao Si a mash ball. Yao Si took it and took a bite, and then said, "How is the homework assigned by the sir?"

Yao General smiled, "It's natural that there is no problem with Mao Xiucai here. I don't dare to be lazy. Why haven't Brother Wei Zha come yet?"

"They will arrive for a while, and you will be thinking about him every day. There are also a lot of fun things you give you. I'm embarrassed to see you." Yao Si finished a few bites of mahjong, couldn't help laughing and teasing, and went to help Yan.

Yao General smiled secretly, took another hemp ball, and ran out, but took a book and sat on the swing in the yard.

Yan asked, "Why didn't you come back with Changwen and Xi Ran?"

"There are many carriages on the road, so they may be stuck behind them. Anyway, they all recognize the road, so I will come back to help first." Yao Si looked at the materials on the chopping board, "I want to make steamed dishes today."

Yan nodded and said, "The two children like to eat steamed dishes, but I don't know what the Wu children like to eat. I'll make a few home-cooked stir-frying and stewing dishes."

Lan Xin's stove was burning with great heat. When she heard this, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and said greedily: "Lan Xin likes to eat everything that her lady cooks."

Yan laughed, "You are all greedy cats, I'm worried if the dishes on this table are enough."

Yao Si smiled and said, "They didn't eat anything that they had to make their stomachs swell." While saying that, he picked out the pork belly that had been cooked from the big pot. A scent of meat suddenly came to his nose, and hot smoke swayed everywhere with the aroma of meat.

Lan Xin swallowed and hurriedly took out a clean plate to serve, then turned around and washed the medium pot and heated it. Yao Si went to get the oil pot.

The first step to steaming pork belly is to fry pork belly, fry the outer layer of pork belly until browned. Yao Si saw that the pan was almost hot, poured half of the oil in, and then called Yan after the oil temperature rose.

Yan put down the shredded pork chops in his hand, held the already cooled pork belly in one hand and the lid of the pot in the other. Seeing this, Lan Xin quickly ran away as if she was running away. Yao Si also smiled and retreated.

Yan looked into the oil temperature, and then carefully slid the pork belly into the oil pan. At the same time, the lid of the pot was instantly pressed down, and the crackling sound of the pot was heard, which made people frightened. But because of this step, the pork belly was fat but not greasy, fragrant and smooth.

Lan Xin sat in front of the stove door again, added a handful of firewood to the stove, and then lit another smaller pot.

At this time, Yan had prepared all kinds of seasonings. After the small pot was heated, add appropriate oil, pour all the seasonings into it, stir-fry until the fragrance was fragrant, add another bowl of water, and then cover the lid and cook for a while. This is the sauce of steamed meat.

The sound of the bursting in the oil pan was much smaller. Yan thought it was almost done, so he opened the lid of the pot and saw no drops of hot oil splashing out. It was a good time.

Take out the fried pork belly and put it on a plate, but before it is finished, I take another piece of brown sugar. While the pork belly is still hot, rub the yellow sugar on the skin, and then pour the sauce on the skin. This is what is called coloring.

By doing this, this pork belly is ready and cut it into slices just when it cools down.

On the other side, Yao Si had already put the cooked juice in a bowl and set aside. After the pork belly was cut, pour the juice on it, and then put it in a steamer for an hour. When it came out, the steamed meat was lubricated and fragrant, melted in the mouth, but it was not greasy. The juice water was steamed into the meat, which was sweet and salty. It was served with the vegetables at the bottom of the bowl, so it tasted so delicious.

There was a sound outside the kitchen. Yao Si guessed that Qiu Ji and Xin Xiran had arrived. As soon as he walked out of the kitchen door, two tall people came side by side. At this time, the sunset was about to set in the west, and a gentle afterglow of the sunset was poured from behind, looking very harmonious.

When Xin Xiran saw her, she smiled and sniffed, "It smells so good. I haven't eaten the dishes made by the aunt for a long time." As she said that, she was about to enter the door.

Yao Si stopped him at the door, and you went to the main hall to sit in the main hall. The kitchen was so smokey that it was dirty, and you couldn't help much.

Yan's voice came from it: "Come on, come in and eat a few bulbs. It will take only one hour to eat the food, so you can get your stomach first."

Xin Xiran smiled, walked around Yao Si and entered the kitchen, then ran to Yan intimately and called out to Auntie.

Yan really likes this child. He looks very simple and pleasing, and he is also very concerned about Yao Si.

Qiu Ji walked behind and followed him in. Although he was not as friendly and enthusiastic as Xin Xiran, he was very sincere and sincere.

In fact, Yan Shi liked this child in Changwen, too. Alas... She sighed in her heart, picked up two plates of snacks and handed them to the two of them, and then smiled and rushed them out like a duck.

Yao Si looked into the yard and saw that Yao General was not on the swing, and he was afraid that he would go there with Wei Zha where to go again.

As the end of Youth hour approached, the food was only on the table, and more than a dozen people sat around the round table. Yao Zhengyu also took out the aged wine that Yan had brewed a few years ago. The moonlight in the yard was just right, and people were eating, drinking and chatting at the table. Time was as fast as a blink of an eye.

After dinner, the female family went to clean up the mess, while the men chatted in the yard. Yao Zheng and Qiu Ji's chess skills were finally waiting for Qiu Ji to come, but they ignored the elders' face and pulled Qiu Ji to play chess. The two old gentlemen Chen and Mao also had the same hobbies for these, and Wu Shiwei was also a chess fan, so the three of them watched side by side, but Xin Xiran was singled out.

Fushimi was a little dissatisfied and muttered, "Young Master's chess skills are good, why don't you play two games with the old man?"

Xin Xiran didn't care, so he walked to the kitchen, "They play their chess, and I'll help Sier wash the dishes."

Fushimi shut up obediently, and he knew that their young master would not miss any time he spent with Miss Yao.

He didn't really let him wash the dishes, at most he handed a bowl next to him. However, Yao Si knew that he was playing chess outside and Xin Xiran had nothing to do, so he didn't drive him away. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they were in a state of harmony.

After the hour of Xu, it was too late, so everyone was ready to leave. Before leaving, Qiu Ji reminded Yao Si a few more words about tomorrow's competition, and all the words that made her feel at ease.

Yao Si was not nervous either. After all, she was a competition or something, and she did her best and if she lost, she would be inferior to others and would be willing to give her a disadvantage.

He sent several young masters out of the house. When he came back, he saw that the lights in the main hall were still on. Yao Si walked over and saw that it was his father who was still thinking while he was on his chin.

"What are dad thinking?" she asked when she walked in.

When Yao Zhengyu saw her in, he said, "I was about to call you, your mother and I decided to buy a house in the city.

Guiyun Pavilion's income is becoming increasingly stable. Apart from the 100 taels of rent paid to Wu Ji every month, there is still a surplus of about 100 taels. This is a bit of a surplus. Anyway, you have to settle down in Beijing. It is best to buy a house by yourself. It is not good to live in someone else's house all the time."

Yao Si nodded and sat down next to her. She knew that Guiyun Pavilion had good returns, and it could even be compared with Wuji Restaurant. However, Wuji Restaurant has three floors, while Guiyun Pavilion only has one floor. In fact, on the other hand, Guiyun Pavilion is even better.

The reason why I promised a monthly rent of 100 taels was actually to borrow a name from Wu Ji but not Wu Ji. Otherwise, Guiyun Pavilion had just opened for more than a month, so how could there be so many customers? Part of the reason was that Lin Dao, the fourth shopkeeper of the Wu family, supported him on the opening day. Although he had not arrived, he gave him a generous gift.

The exhibition at Guiyun Pavilion is quite good. Yao Si understands this, but... she thought about it and said, "I heard from my mother that my elder sister wants to bring her children to Beijing? Isn't she going to stay at the Liu family?"

During the snow disaster last year, Yao Ling followed the Liu family and her family to the east of Yuezhou. Until something happened in Xiaotou Village, she did not contact her. She had only recently contacted her family. When she heard that her family had lost their feet in Beijing, Yao Ling revealed her strong plans to come to Beijing in the letter.

Of course she couldn't come alone, and the Liu family was not allowed, so she must have to bring her children and husband.

Yao Si hesitated a little. She was disgusted with the virtues of the Liu family from the bottom of her heart. If she still lived under the same roof, how could she stand it?

Besides, the Liu family doesn’t have a house to live in. The family has just improved, so they are busy getting a share of the pie. This kind of character is even more disgusting.

When his father was sold by the Crown Round, Yao Si wanted to ask the Liu family to come forward to help, but he had only got Yao Ling's thirty copper coins. If she hadn't poked Mr. Liu's pain, the Liu family would not have come forward to settle the matter in the end.

In terms of love, the Liu family and the Yao family are ruthless. As for Yao Ling, she was furious when she thought of kissing her to an old man with a baby-fetish.

My father wants to change a house, probably part of the reason is that he wants to settle a place for Yao Ling and her family of three.

Yao Si thought about it carefully before saying solemnly: "Dad, this house..." She didn't know how to explain it for a moment, and the land deed was her name. Although she had always planned to give Qiu Ji a worthwhile return, it was not her style of taking it for nothing, but in the eyes of her parents, it was probably not a trivial matter.

"This house was actually...I asked Qiu Ji to buy it for me." She said a little dull and said something vague.

Yao Zhengyu really didn't understand much: "Let the long article buy it for you? What does this mean?"

"He bought the house, but the name on the land deed is mine, so I can say that he borrowed it." She thought of a reasonable reason.

But even so, Yao Zhengyu frowned. He was afraid that he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yao Si's next sentence.

"Dad, if the Liu family comes, have you ever thought about us? When we are in trouble, they will not be at ease, but we are just starting out and they are in a hurry to post it.

What's more, this is a bottomless pit. Once we accept it at the beginning, no matter what we have in the future, as long as we don't fulfill our wishes, everyone will know that it will make trouble, and in turn will make a comeback.

Dad, Guiyun Pavilion is a reputation. The reason why I hired so many wealthy young men, even at the cost of 100 taels a month, was even allowed to get involved with the Wu family. I even let Jingzhao Yin Liao Weizhang get involved. I did this all to gain a good reputation.

Guiyun Pavilion now cannot withstand the troubles of the Liu family. If you don’t pay attention, he will destroy the Guiyun Pavilion we have worked hard to build."

Although Yao Si said this a bit exaggeratedly, she also said the truth. Even if it is not now, it will be the future. People with virtue will do whatever they do. When the snow disaster occurred, Yao Ling followed the Liu family and left, regardless of whether they care about their parents' lives or death, and there is no need to show kindness at this moment.
