Chapter 100 Yi Zhonghai is causing trouble again (Part )
Seeing Sha Zhu drifting further and further away from him and ignoring him for more than a year, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

Although his apprentice Jia Dongxu still harbored hatred towards him, a year had passed and that resentment seemed to have dissipated a lot. It was time to go to this apprentice and save the relationship.

Yi Zhonghai believed that as long as he used some means to communicate and win them over, their relationship could be repaired, and returning to the days of close master-disciple relationship was just around the corner.

"My dear!" Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Go and get me ten kilograms of flour."

The auntie said hesitantly, "What do you want the flour for? We don't have much flour at home."

"Just go if I tell you to, and don't talk nonsense to me." Yi Zhonghai glared with eyes flashing with anger.

Auntie, since she forgave Yi Zhonghai, her life seemed to have lost its former color. She smiled less frequently and her attitude became just what you said.

She stopped talking, got up from the kang, rummaged through the boxes and cupboards to find a bag of flour, and handed it to him silently. She sat down and continued to eat, silent, as if all her emotions were not touched by Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai became angry again, and a gleam of fire flashed in his eyes.

He uttered "Hmph!", took the bag of flour, got up from the kang, walked out of the house and went towards Jia's house.

When he arrived at the door of Jia's house, he hesitated for a moment, but still plucked up the courage to knock on the door.

"Is Dongxu at home?"

"Dongxu, Huairu, it's me, Yi Zhonghai. Please open the door."

In the Jia family's house.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. Over the past year, they had become strangers to Yi Zhonghai and had even cut off all contact with him.

They were very surprised and puzzled as to why this old bitch suddenly showed up at their doorstep.

In the past year, Jia Dongxu worked in the factory and was transferred to work under another master.

Therefore, without Yi Zhonghai's care, with his rough technical level, being beaten and trained was a common occurrence, and his life was quite difficult.

His fellow workers and neighbors looked at Jia Dongxu with strange eyes. The constant rumors made it impossible for him to raise his head, and he was in unbearable pain.

Therefore, he hated Yi Zhonghai deeply, and this emotion was deeply imprinted in his heart.

"Dongxu! What should I do? Should I send him away?" Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu worriedly.

She made Jia Dongxu lose control of his temper and fight with Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Dongxu's face was uncertain, and then he said fiercely: "Go open the door, I want to see what this old bitch wants to do?"

With a creaky sound, the door opened.

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with complicated eyes. Without addressing him, she asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face froze slightly, then he forced a smile and said, "Qin Huairu, can you come in and talk?"

Qin Huairu nodded and walked into the house. Behind her, Yi Zhonghai followed quietly in with a gleam in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing. Yi Zhonghai stood opposite Jia Dongxu. He took a deep breath, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Jia Dongxu sat on the stool, looking at Yi Zhonghai with a sullen look and pursed lips, quietly waiting for him to speak.

There was a hint of caution in Yi Zhonghai's words, fearing that his request would be rejected.

"Dongxu! No matter what I say, you won't be able to forgive me. But I still have to say that this is all my fault. Thinking back to the past..."

……

Let’s not talk about the mess between the Jia and Yi families.

The Liu family's east courtyard was extremely lively tonight.

Xu Damao was a smart and capable person. He rushed into the house first to greet the Liu family.

"Uncle Liu! Aunt Liu! Sister-in-law! Are you busy? We are sorry to disturb you." Xu Damao greeted them with a smile on his face.

When Deng Ru saw these energetic young people coming, she didn't think they were too many or too much trouble. Instead, she greeted them warmly. She called out to them affectionately: "Da Mao! Zhu Zi! Jie Cheng! Come in and sit on the kang to warm up."

"Aunt, let me handle these seafood. I'll show off my skills tonight." Zhuzi saw a large wash basin of seafood, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. He rubbed his hands, eager to try.

"Okay then! I'll leave the pillar to you! Auntie will help you." Deng Ru smiled and nodded in agreement. The others went straight to the east room, took off their shoes, got on the kang, and started chatting about everything under the sun.

Only Zhuzi stood there, thinking about how to cook these seafood into delicious dishes. He observed the types and quantities of seafood, imagined various cooking methods, and muttered to himself: "These fish and shrimps are delicious, and with some vegetables and seasonings, they can definitely make a delicious dish..."

After some thinking and preparation, Zhuzi finally started his cooking journey. He cleaned the seafood, cut the ingredients, and cooked each dish skillfully.

"Da Mao! Jie Cheng! Come and taste my tea." Liu Jingzhai once again took out his treasured tea set and warmly entertained the two young men.

Yan Jiecheng took the teacup, blew gently, took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, and then took a sip. The tea tasted mellow and sweet, which made him nod.

"Uncle! What a good tea! This tea is not ordinary..."

Hearing this, Damao couldn't help but taste it. He was also attracted by the taste and aroma of the tea. He sincerely praised: "This tea is really delicious! It's really fragrant, yes, it's delicious."

Yan Jiecheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, there are many people selling old things recently, and the prices are shockingly low. Three melons are not worth two dates. My master and I have collected a lot of treasures for you. Can you take a look at them someday?"

Liu Zhiye was cheered up when he heard this. He had been very busy recently and had not paid close attention to antiques and cultural relics for a long time.

So, I thought about it and decided to have time that day and said, "Okay! Let's do it next Sunday! I haven't talked to your master for a long time."

Xu Damao was moved when he heard them talking about this. He said, "Brother Liu! You like old things. These things are not for eating or drinking."

Of course Liu Zhiye couldn't tell the truth. This thing would appreciate in value in the future. It would be a huge fortune.

He simply said lightly that he did this entirely to study the aura of historical figures and it was purely out of personal interest.

Xu Damao was thinking about how to take his relationship with Liu Zhiye a step further. When he learned that Liu Zhiye had a special liking for these old items, he was inspired to use his expertise.

This news is like a perfect opportunity.

"Brother Liu, let me handle this matter. I can collect them for you when I go to the countryside to show movies. There are many old items like this in the countryside. They are all worthless and can be sold for money. I can help you collect some."

When Liu Zhiye heard this, he realized that this was another person who came to pay homage to the emperor and pledge his allegiance.

Although Xu Damao's behavior is often despicable, his wit and decisiveness in handling things cannot be ignored.

Compared with him, Yan Jiecheng seemed somewhat hesitant when dealing with problems and lacked decisiveness and resolution.

A villain also has his uses. As long as you can control him skillfully, you don't have to worry about him turning against you.

Liu Zhiye decisively accepted his offer of surrender.

"Ding! Collect one of the wild generals - Xu Damao"

Yan Jiecheng, who was standing by, suddenly felt his anus tighten and a strong sense of crisis arose.

……

"Fried Shrimps!"

“Steamed crab!”

"Braised sea cucumber!"

“Steamed yellow croaker!”

“Spicy fried clams!”

“Sautéed water chestnuts with sauce!
“Steamed conch!”

When delicious dishes were served one after another, the table was filled with nothing but seafood.

The fresh seafood is cooked by chef Sha Zhu's superb cooking skills and becomes delicious and mouth-watering.

"Come on! Eat the crab first, while it's hot."

"Wow! This prawn is so big!" Yan Jiecheng measured the prawn in his hand. It was almost as long as his palm. It was really a giant.

"It's absolutely delicious! Zhuzi's seafood cooking skills are comparable to the chefs in Zhengyanglou." Liu Zhiye praised.

"No, no, this is all thanks to your high-quality ingredients." Zhuzi responded with rare humility.
