Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

As a painter, your first hobby must be painting, otherwise you will not be able to become a great painter.

Secondly, he loves money. He can be said to be a miser. In his later years, he changed all his money into gold and carried it with him wherever he went.

The last point is to love beautiful women.

Qi Baishi married three wives in his life and had countless lovers and concubines.

In this regard, he is also a miracle. When he was over 80 years old, his third wife was still pregnant and gave birth to a child for him, but she died of dystocia.

In 57, when he was 93 years old, he fell in love with a 21-year-old female nurse. After paying a lot of money, she agreed to marry him and was preparing to organize the wedding. Qi Baishi's body suddenly failed and he returned to the west with his fourth wife. Didn't get married.

They are all 93 years old and have more than ten children. They all still want to marry and take concubines, which shows how romantic he is.

This handsome nanny has springy features and looks like she is often nourished and developed by Qi Baishi. He Yuzhu does not believe that the lustful Qi Baishi would let the girl around him go.

He Yuzhu nodded, said hello, and then walked into the yard.

After all, he is a famous artist in the painting world. The whole courtyard is full of poetry and painting. All kinds of flowers and plants are arranged in an orderly manner. They may seem ordinary, but when you see it, you feel that it is just right and magical.

"Come with me, the master is in the study."

After passing the Moon Gate, I followed Chunfang into the study and saw an old man sitting on the Taishi chair, looking at a picture album.

The old man's beard and hair are already pale, but he is in good spirits. He is none other than Mr. Qi Baishi.

"Katsura is here."

Then he saw He Yuzhu following behind and frowned: "Is this the chef you invited?"

Li Keran first came forward to bow to his master, and then said: "Master, in this cooking industry, age is not the only factor. Master He's craftsmanship is also one of the best in the capital."

"How can a young cook's skills be so good? You don't want any money, and you want me to use paintings to pay for it?"

Although He Yuzhu looked mature, he looked to be in his 20s. After entering the room, Qi Baishi was very unhappy because he looked too young.

That's all. He Yuzhu still wanted to use his paintings to pay for his wages. Who did he take Qi Baishi to be?

Doesn't it mean that Qi Baishi can already be compared with a chef?

This made Qi Baishi very unhappy and couldn't help but say it to his face.

When He Yuzhu first came in, he thought these were all old artists. He was a junior and couldn't speak too much.

But after hearing Qi Baishi's words, He Yuzhu was very unhappy and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that Mr. Qi is also a person who looks down on others. He has been working hard for more than ninety years in vain."

"You" Qi Baishi didn't expect He Yuzhu to speak so mercilessly that he was so angry that his heart ached.

Li Keran was startled and quickly advised: "Mr. He, please give me some face. My master is old and sometimes has the temper of a child."

Then he went to comfort his master and said, "Don't look young, Mr. He. He has already become famous as Braised Pork He. The braised pork you often praised before was bought from Mr. He's house."

Qi Baishi asked in surprise: "You mean, the Limin Braised Pork in Yandai Xiejie is his?"

"Yes, Mr. He is not only good at making braised pork, he is also a superb chef, and his calligraphy is also good."

Then Li Keran added: "My handwriting is better than mine."

Qi Baishi curled his lips, what kind of writing can a young man in his early twenties write? This guy surnamed He may really have the ability to cook, but he can write. A cook who cooks actually knows calligraphy. That was hilarious.

"Hmph, I understand. Let's try the food first today."

Qi Baishi didn't believe that He Yuzhu knew calligraphy at all, and he didn't bother to criticize him. After all, what He Yuzhu said just now was very unpleasant. If he got angry again and beat himself up after saying a few words to him, it would not be worth it.

All in all, it would be better to let He go to the kitchen to cook dinner. If the dishes taste average, then he should find a new chef as soon as possible.

"Where's the kitchen?"

"Sir, please come with me." Chunfang led He Yuzhu to the kitchen, and then said, "Check first to see if there is anything missing."

He Yuzhu saw that the ingredients were well prepared. After checking, he nodded and said, "No problem."

"That's good. If you need anything, please just say it."

He Yuzhu was preparing to cook in the kitchen. In the study, Li Keran introduced He Yuzhu's words in detail, which made Qi Baishi stunned.

"You said his handwriting is so good?"

"Yes, Master, I asked around there. Although Master He is a chef, he has fallen in love with calligraphy in the past two years. The neighbors all know that he practices calligraphy and they all praise him for his good calligraphy. I just don't know how good it is. degree."

"Real or fake? So magical?" Qi Baishi still didn't believe He Yuzhu's calligraphy skills.

"To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but after I saw it with my own eyes, I had no choice but to believe it."

"Let's see if we can make delicious meals first."

"Alright."

After seeing He Yuzhu's calligraphy, Li Keran was greatly shocked. His handwriting was better than that of some famous calligraphers, but such a calligrapher was unknown and not known by the industry, which really made Li Keran very anxious.

I wanted to introduce the calligrapher He Yuzhu to the teacher, but I didn't expect that the master didn't believe what I said.

Soon, the dishes at He Yuzhu's place were ready, Chunfang brought them all over, and then the young and old of the Qi family gathered in the restaurant.

"This dish smells delicious. Are you hiring a chef today?"

"Yes, this dish is much more fragrant than Chunfang's. I told you a long time ago that Chunfang can't keep it."

Qi Baishi was extremely angry. This Chunfang was the most considerate and the best at serving others. How could she be replaced?

"It's not your turn to be in charge of this family yet. If you have the ability, go out and do it alone."

After Qi Baishi said something angry, he raised his chopsticks to pick up the dishes. They looked good, and every dish was very well presented. He already believed it in his heart.

After putting the dish in his mouth, Qi Baishi's old face suddenly showed a smile and said with satisfaction:

"This dish is the best I've ever tasted."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

Li Keran said the same thing after tasting it.

"Really? So delicious?"

Only then did everyone in the Qi family take their chopsticks, and everyone who had tasted it was full of praise, praising that this was the most delicious meal they had ever tasted.

This meal was a mess, and all the etiquette that had been cultivated over the years was completely lost. Even the vegetable soup was eaten with steamed buns.

After the meal, everyone rubbed their bellies and said they were full, and asked Qi Baishi to keep the chef and eat his food from now on.

"Okay, if you keep him at home after being reincarnated as a starving ghost, I won't be able to support you."

Back in the study, Li Keran asked: "Master, how is this chef?"

Qi Baishi nodded with satisfaction: "You are indeed a good cook. How much is your monthly salary?"

Li Keran then said: "People have already made a name for themselves as Braised Pork River, so what more money do they need?"
