Chapter 234 The Helpless Residents
When Li Qin finished preparing the meal, the residents who worked at the steel rolling mill also went home one after another.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can smell the tempting aroma.
Upon smelling this somewhat unusual and abnormal fragrance, the residents returning home from get off work immediately displayed a complex expression on their faces.
There was envy, and there was helplessness...
Without even asking, the family members could guess that Li Qin had cooked something delicious.
In this courtyard house, only Li Qin could cook such delicious food.
No one else could do it.
Even He Yuzhu, a chef with a long tradition, couldn't do it.
At least He Yuzhu can't make such fragrant and tempting dishes right now.
Although the aroma was tempting, no one said anything.
After all, the few stewards who had caused trouble for Li Qin before had almost been beaten to a pulp.
The others didn't think they were any better than the few in charge.
Besides, Li Qin didn't do anything excessive; he just made the food smell a little too strong, and Li Qin doesn't do that every day.
Even if they harbored resentment, there was nothing they could do.
He couldn't even bring himself to criticize Li Qin.
Of course, although they didn't say anything openly, only they themselves knew what they were really thinking.
Li Qin only cared about collecting emotional power.
He didn't care whether these people were cursing him in their hearts.
As long as these people don't verbally abuse you to your face, it's fine.
Among those who returned, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai had the most complex expressions when they smelled the familiar fragrance.
Although the two wanted to say something, they remembered how Li Qin had forced them into an awkward position last time.
They even had to apologize to Li Qin.
They fell silent.
However, not long after Liu Haizhong returned home, the pitiful cries of his two younger sons could be heard again.
Hearing the commotion coming from the Liu family, all the residents of the courtyard shook their heads.
In fact, the residents of the courtyard house were also very puzzled. Liu Haizhong was really good to his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, but his attitude towards his two younger sons was completely different.
It didn't seem like she was treating her own son at all.
Those who don't know the situation, upon seeing how Liu Haizhong treated his two younger sons, would first think that the two younger sons were adopted.
Or perhaps he wasn't Liu Haizhong's child at all.
Otherwise, where would you find a father as heartless as Liu Haizhong?
When they attacked Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they showed absolutely no mercy, treating them like enemies.
At first, the people in the courtyard kindly tried to dissuade Liu Haizhong.
However, Liu Haizhong showed no appreciation whatsoever.
He also felt that the residents in the courtyard were meddling in his affairs and interfering with his discipline of his children.
Over time, the residents of the courtyard house gave up.
Now, when people hear Liu Haizhong hitting the children, they pretend they didn't hear it.
Li Qin also heard the commotion coming from Liu Haizhong's house.
He remained completely unmoved.
Ultimately, how Liu Haizhong beats his son is a matter for the Liu family and has nothing to do with him.
After bringing the food prepared in the kitchen to the dining table, Li Qin closed the door and prepared to eat.
However, what he was actually preparing to eat was not the food in front of him, but the Tan family cuisine that had been prepared in the suitcase.
Li Qin first stored the food on the table in his ring space before taking out the prepared Tan family dishes and placing them on the table.
Suddenly, a different aroma from the food just now spread out.
Li Qin subconsciously cast a sealing spell on the room.
An ordinary person would not be able to tell from the aroma that it is Tan Family Cuisine, but Li Qin did not forget the deaf old lady living next door.
However, one thing is certain: this deaf old woman is definitely not simple.
Maybe they're the kind of person who's seen a lot of the world.
Given that the deaf old lady lives only a wall away from their home, she is very likely to recognize Tan Family Cuisine.
That would be bad.
In addition, He Yuzhu from the Intermediate People's Court is a genuine member of the Tan Family Cuisine family, so he might be able to smell the aroma.
Once the room is sealed off, neither the noises nor the smells inside will continue to escape outside.
In this way, Li Qin can enjoy the Tan family cuisine without worry.
Li Qin had never tasted authentic Tan family cuisine and didn't know what it tasted like.
Anyway, he thought the Tan family dishes on the table in front of him were quite good.
Its color, aroma, and taste are all top-notch.
The duck feet are tender and juicy, with an excellent texture.
The sunflower duck was beautifully presented and uniquely shaped.
It is sweet like honey but not cloying;
Steamed fish retains its original flavor;
The filling of the crispy dumplings is delicious, and the crust is crispy.
The pearl soup was clear and transparent.
Li Qin felt completely relaxed and comfortable after the meal.
Especially with the constant notifications from the system, it's even more enjoyable.
Li Qin ate almost all of the Tan family dishes that filled the whole table by himself.
There was almost nothing left.
"The meals I had every day before were mostly heavily seasoned, so having a meal of Tan Family Cuisine today was a great experience to change things up."
Li Qin slumped into a chair in the study with a satisfied look on his face.
On the table in front of him was a cup of freshly brewed tea.
This meal further solidified Li Qin's resolve to collect recipes.
Before this, Li Qin had secretly made copies of almost all the books in the libraries of major universities in Beijing.
Many of them are about cooking.
There were just too many books, and Li Qin couldn't organize them all in one go.
Therefore, they have not all been added to the menu yet.
At this moment, Li Qin decided in his heart to find some time to sort and organize all the copied books in the space.
This also makes it easier for him to browse through.
After resting for a while, Li Qin felt it was time to go to class, and then pushed his bicycle away from the courtyard.
Previously, residents of the courtyard house were puzzled when they saw him pushing his cart out at night.
After Li Qin explained several times, the residents of the courtyard finally understood:
He attended night school at the steel rolling mill.
These people all thought Li Qin was attending a basic literacy class, but they didn't know that Li Qin was actually attending an advanced class.
Of course, even if the residents of the courtyard house knew, it is estimated that apart from a few people, they would not understand the significance of attending advanced classes.
Ultimately, most of the residents in these courtyard houses are ordinary people with little knowledge or experience.
Where can one understand the intricacies of the matter?
Li Qin is a very proactive person.
After making the decision to organize the books in the space, he started doing so after returning home from class that evening.
In the attic of the suitcase space, there is a room specifically used for storing books.
Although the room doesn't look big from the outside, the interior space has been expanded many times over by Li Qin using the Seamless Stretch Spell.
In this room, rows of bookshelves stand neatly arranged.
These bookshelves are all filled with books.
The vast majority of these books were copied by Li Qin using a copying spell, while a small portion were collected through various channels.
Some were found by Li Qin at various recycling stations in Beijing, while others were acquired from the black market.
In short, Li Qin would not let go of any book he found interesting.
