After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 9 Mapo Tofu
The next day, a ray of sunlight shined on the boy's face through the window. He Yu pawed a few times in a daze, and opened his eyes with difficulty. He hadn't officially reported to the rolling mill yet, so he will find a time to do it today.

He Yu simply tidied up, put on new clothes and went out.

Entering the inner courtyard, just after the third uncle's house, a basin of water fell from the sky. Fortunately, he walked slowly, and the water flower passed him, and splashed all over the ground with a "pop".

Seeing someone outside the house, the third master hurried out, just about to apologize, when he saw, isn't this He Yu from the yard?Qin Qin's face was faster than turning the pages of a book, and she "coughed", as if nothing happened, turned her head and carried the basin to the inner room.

He Yu wanted to say a few more words. At this moment, the second uncle was pregnant with his bangs, and with his hands behind his back, he took a peek at He Yu. An adjutant, Fan Yang, walked past the inner courtyard and said to himself, " College students actually want to be chefs these days! I'm afraid there is another idiot in our yard!"

The third master, who was about to enter the inner room, listened and leaned beside the door frame to watch the excitement.

The uncle and aunt who got up early to work in the yard greeted the second uncle face to face, and someone asked curiously, "Second uncle, who are you talking about?"

"Could it be He Yu from the next room?"

The second uncle nodded, "That's right! He Yu is as stupid as Sha Zhu!"

Everyone was surprised, it was really He Yu.

"Second uncle, I am stupid, Xiao Yu is not stupid, if the college students are all idiots, then the whole college is not even as good as idiots!"

As soon as Shazhu came, the second uncle raised his head and straightened his waist, "Silly! How can you call the people of our hospital fools!"

"Hey, Second Uncle, it's your fault to gossip behind other people's backs! But you said that this is an act of a villain! It will ruin the atmosphere in our courtyard! No, we have to invite the other two to change it tomorrow. The old man judges!"

As soon as Silly Zhu said that, the second uncle panicked and acted like he was in a hurry, "I'm going to be late for work! Silly Zhu! I'll let you go today!"

"I'll let you go!" Sha Zhu roared, and the second uncle left the inner courtyard early.

"Master? Go to work?"

Seeing that it was He Yu, Silly Zhu responded, "Yes."

It was not only the third master who was watching the excitement just now, Xu Damao's house was close, but he could hear it clearly. When he heard He Yu called Master Shazhu, he couldn't calm down. How could a foolish cook become Master He Yu? !

"Xiao Yu! Come on, I have something to tell you!" Xu Damao went out of the room and pulled He Yu aside.

Silly Zhu looked at it curiously, and Xu Damao replied straight away, "It's important!"

"You have something important! If you don't listen, you won't listen." Silly Zhu gave He Yu a dry look, and continued, "Xiao Yu, I'm waiting for you outside the courtyard."

When Sha Zhu walked away, Xu Damao looked around and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yu, did I hear correctly just now! Your name is Master Sha Zhu?"

"That's right, Big Brother."

Xu Damao never imagined that Shazhu could accept a college student as an apprentice, and instigated, "You might as well recognize me as a master, play movies, and be at ease, unlike that poor cook."

He Yu didn't say much, he just raised his hand and slapped him, but the slap didn't sound, Xu Damao backed away again and again in fright, "He Yu, you are as virtuous as Sha Zhu!"

When Silly Zhu was still wondering why Xu Damao crawled out of the courtyard, He Yu followed suit.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with Xu Damao? It's like seeing something unclean!"

He Yu smiled at Sha Zhu, "Who knows?"

Silly Zhu thought about it, and it must be something complicated, so he asked He Yu several times along the way, what did Xu Damao tell him.

Seeing Shazhu's stubbornness, He Yu said lightly, "I just scolded you a few words!"

"Sure enough! Xu Damao's heart is not at ease!"

"Master, don't worry, Xu Damao was beaten back by me!"

Silly Zhu was delighted when he heard it, no wonder Xu Damao was exhausted in the morning, and crawled out of the courtyard.

"By the way, Yu, are you going to report to Deputy Director Li today?"

When it comes to deputy factory director Li, it's notoriously obsessed with sex characters. Whether it's the workshop or the cafeteria, if any girl looks good, deputy factory director Li will come here uninvited!
He Yu jokingly said, "Brother, I'm a man, will Deputy Director Li want to eat me?"

"Hey, you kid, don't blame me for not reminding you, Deputy Director Li is not easy to mess with!"

He Yu understands that if the officials beat people to death, he should try not to offend Deputy Factory Director Li if he can.

"Xiao Yu, this cook is as good as a cook. He wakes up early in the morning and comes back after finishing cooking in the afternoon. No one in the factory works overtime and goes back after a while. Just one word, freedom!"

"Brother said yes!"

After entering the rolling mill and in the kitchen, Twist was the first to greet her, "Hi, chef! Good morning, master!"

"It hasn't taken office yet!"

"As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official, and Chef He will take care of us in the future!"

He Yu smiled lightly, according to the time, Ma Hua came in early, and he was Sha Zhu's apprentice, according to the time, he had to call Ma Hua his brother, Chef He, He Yu really didn't like it.

"Excuse me, I'm really not used to hearing you call me that, we are all brother's apprentices, so don't be too polite."

"Apprentice?" Ma Hua stared round, glanced at his master, and lowered his voice, "He Yu, seriously?"

"real!"

After He Yu said that, Ma Hua was very happy, picked up He Yu and said with a smile, "It's all the same! Why are you brothers?"

"Twist, what are you two talking about! Get ready to light a fire and cook!"

"Here comes the master."

Ma Hua glanced at He Yu and said, "I'm busy."

As soon as Ma Hua left, Sha Zhu greeted him, "Xiao Yu, you are here to cook today!"

"Ah?" He Yu was taken aback, he knew the basic big pot dishes, but he was really not sure about cooking the leader's meals alone.

"It's okay, I'll teach you, just do as I tell you!"

"Row."

Silly Zhu glanced at the ingredients, pointed to a piece of clear water tofu and said, "Xiao Yu, wash the tofu first and cut it into squares."

According to Shazhu's instructions, He Yu picked up a piece of tofu and washed it. Silly Zhu on the side did not forget to remind, "Cut the tofu squarely, evenly, so that it tastes good."

After the tofu was cut and soaked for a few minutes, He Yu started to cut the meat into minced meat, and Sha Zhu was on the sidelines to prepare the onion, ginger and garlic to be used.

Taking advantage of this time, He Yu poured some oil into the hot pan, waited until it smoked, poured the onion, ginger, and garlic chopped by Shazhu into the pan and sautéed, then poured the minced meat and fried until golden, poured a little Stir-fry cooking wine until fragrant.

Ma Hua was stunned by this move. If someone said that He Yu was a fresh graduate, he would not believe it. This is simply a trick of the chef.

Not only Ma Hua, but Shazhu also nodded repeatedly, "That's right, we're adding peppercorns and fermented black beans to fry until fragrant!"

He Yu did as he did, then lightly stir-fried a few times, added sauce and fried red oil, poured a bowl of water into the pot, adjusted some salt, soy sauce, chili powder, waited for the fire to boil, collected the juice, and put it on the plate , sprinkled with chopped green onion.

"You are not bad! You are indeed the son of old man He! Let me try it."

Shazhu took a sip and nodded again and again, it tasted good.

"You still say you don't know it! This Sichuan flavor is right! This is the authentic Sichuan cuisine, mapo tofu!"
