Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"Director Yang, I'll go to the cafeteria to prepare now."

"Come on, I'll go with you. I also want to see what the new cafeteria looks like."

When he arrived at the canteen, He Yuzhu saw that the roof of the second canteen had been completed. This progress was incredible. Human hands and feet could complete the construction work in a short time.

When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw a crowd of people, nearly a hundred of them busy in the small space. Among them he also found Xu Damao's sister, Xu Huiqiu.

"Sister Huiqiu is here."

"Zhu Zi, I've been assigned to the kitchen. I'll have to thank you for taking care of me in the future!"

Xu Huiqiu deliberately raised her voice so that everyone could hear her, showing that she knew He Yuzhu and had connections with him, in order to prevent the cafeteria staff from bullying the new employees.

He Yuzhu did not expose her little trick, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, from now on, Sister Huiqiu will work with you at the noodle counter."

"Okay, don't worry." Master Liu agreed.

"Miss Huiqiu, from now on you will follow me and do the work of steaming buns and making steamed corn bread."

"Thank you, Zhuzi, and thank you, Master Liu."

He Yuzhu generously gave Zhao Meili, who came as an apprentice or handyman, an easy job. Although it was tiring, at least she didn't have to take on too many extra chores.

Zhao Jianshe also ran over at this time.

"Deputy Section Chief He, are you here?"

"Why don't you take a good rest in the dormitory? Why do you come to see me?"

Zhao Jianshe pointed to the kitchen and the girl with a ponytail next to him: "This is my sister, Zhao Meili."

He introduced: "Deputy Section Chief He, not only is the Security Section in charge of him, he also has the power to decide on the affairs of the canteen."

Zhao Meili bowed sincerely to He Yuzhu, "Hello, Deputy Section Chief He!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't be polite, just call me Master He in the cafeteria like everyone else!"

"Huh?" Zhao Meili looked at He Yuzhu, who was about the same age as her, in surprise.

Zhao Jianshe added: "You do whatever the deputy section chief says!"

"Okay, Master He." The newcomer responded.

"As for you, start by learning how to serve food from Liu Lan. If you want to become a chef, find a master to choose from!" Zhao Jianshe looked at his sister meaningfully.

He Yuzhu noticed his little move. "Old Zhao, I don't accept apprentices here!"

This made Zhao Jianshe feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

"If you're willing, you might as well follow Master Yang and the others, or learn how to cut vegetables from Liu Lan first." He quickly ended the topic.

"Deputy Section Chief, I'll leave first!" Zhao Jianshe left quickly.

He Yuzhu noticed Sun Hongsheng's arrival. "Zhuzi, the ingredients are ready."

"Brother Sun, bring your lunch box!" he urged.

Sun Hongsheng smiled and replied: "Only Zhuzi remembers my habits the best."

A reception meal of this level, let alone Sun Hongsheng, even Li Huaide today would probably not have such treatment.

Sun Hongsheng quietly approached He Yuzhu and said, "Your office has prepared cigarettes and alcohol."

He Yuzhu nodded gratefully: "Brother Sun, don't hire any more new people. The existing staff is more than enough."

"The kitchen is too crowded, and Canteen No. 2 next door still needs tables and chairs. We need to get them quickly to share the pressure here." He Yuzhu added.

"I've already told the workshop that the long benches and long tables will be ready soon. They should be installed today." Sun Hongsheng was quite proud.

Looking at the 100 or so people crowded in front of him, He Yuzhu said, "There are many new colleagues here, so I won't explain much today. The second canteen is being renovated, and I will personally review it once it is completed. By then, it will depend on your own ability. Whether you can cook depends on your own luck. Now there is work at hand, so I won't say much else. No matter what position you are here for, you should first help with the work!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu started to heat the pan and pour oil, moving the spatula flexibly, while Liu Lan helped him with odd jobs on the side.

Zhao Meili concentrated on washing and selecting vegetables, because she understood that this was to entertain the leaders and she had to prepare a feast that would suit their taste.

Xu Fugui and Xu Damao came to dine earlier.

"Brother Zhu, sister." Everyone looked at Xu Huiqiu, and only then did they realize that she was Xu Damao's sister.

No wonder He Yuzhu is so caring.

He Yuzhu picked up a few slices of meat from the small stove specially prepared for the leaders. "Don't eat in the cafeteria!"

Xu Damao nodded in agreement: "I understand."

He Yuzhu handed a piece to Xu's father, "Uncle Xu, this is for you."

"Thank you, Zhuzi." Father Xu said gratefully.

Xu Fugui asked his eldest daughter: "How are you doing in the kitchen?"

"I'm doing well. The pillars are here, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Damao suggested: "Brother Zhu, there is a movie at the factory tonight, don't leave in a hurry."

He Yuzhu thought to himself: "Movie, then you should leave two seats for me, I will take Yu Shui home early today."

After the Xu family father and son left, the security department also arrived. They had to arrive early to avoid waiting in line when the crowds came.

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Why didn't Yang Weimin come?"

Zhao Jianshe: "I'm so tired that I can't move."

He Yuzhu: "Eat quickly, your weapons will be delivered soon."

The strong men were very excited to hear this, and their minds were full of thoughts about meeting those cold, ruthless but metallic pipes again.

They wanted to finish the food in one bite.

It is said that wealth represents a man's bravery, but He Yuzhu knows that for them, owning a gun is what they yearn for more.

"Zhu Zi, is the work done?" Looking at Sun Hongsheng's anxious look, it seemed as if his eyebrows were on fire.

He Yuzhu half-jokingly said, "Brother Sun, wipe your forehead, it seems like someone is chasing you!"

"Stop messing around, the leaders are about to arrive, Director Yang asked everyone to welcome them at the factory gate!"

He Yuzhu nodded: "You go first, the last dish is almost done."

Sun Hongsheng is a fat man weighing 200 kilograms, but he can run as light as a rabbit. However, his breathing sounds like an old hound, which makes people very worried about his condition.

"Liu Lan, serve the food!" After He Yuzhu finished cooking the food, he asked Liu Lan to serve it.

He then took off his apron, dusted himself off, and walked towards the door.

"Brother Li, are all the personnel from each department in place?" He Yuzhu lamented at the large number of people.

Li Huaide responded: "There are so many leaders today, it must be hard work."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up: "Brother Li, it seems that you have got some inside information..."

Before he finished speaking, Director Yang saw He Yuzhu and waved hurriedly.

"Officer He!" A call interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Hello, Director Yang!" He Yuzhu immediately stepped forward to respond.

"Is the food ready?" He Yuzhu asked.

"I have prepared ten dishes and a soup, but I haven't cooked them yet. I will leave it until the leaders start eating, so that the staple food won't dry out." He expressed his plan.

Director Yang nodded and praised: "Thoughtful and well done!"

"It's mainly Sichuan cuisine, don't worry!" He Yuzhu added.

Director Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the conversation was over, He Yuzhu was about to return to the crowd, but was suddenly stopped by Director Yang.
