In the blink of an eye, four years have passed. He Yushui has grown into a lively and lovely four-year-old girl, and her mother's shadow can be vaguely seen in her eyes. When He Yuzhu went to be an apprentice, He Daqing entrusted her to Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law to take care of her.

He Yuzhu has been learning how to cook Tan cuisine from his master for the past four years. He has almost always lived and eaten at his master's home, and only returned to the courtyard to stay for a few days during holidays.

Now, he finally ended his long apprenticeship, packed his luggage, said goodbye to his master, and prepared to return to the courtyard.

If you compare He Yuzhu now with He Yuzhu four years ago, no matter if people know him or not, they will definitely not think that they are the same person.

After all, He Yuzhu's facial features are now more three-dimensional than before, and his skin has a slight wheat color, but he is still not very satisfied with his appearance.

With this in mind, He Yuzhu opened his information and looked at his various data on the screen:

Name: He Yuzhu

Sex: Male

Age: 12 (It seems that taking drugs is still effective. Now I look like I’m 16 years old. Not bad, not bad. I can finally stop scaring children.)

Height: 160

Beauty: 50 (She looks average, you wouldn’t be able to find her in a crowd)

Intelligence: 19 (Is it an idiot, an idiot, or an idiot?)

Talent: Cooking Level 1 (barely edible)

Voice: 40 (lost in the crowd, without any unique characteristics)

Obtained props: Fragrance pills (can make the whole body emit a charming fragrance, making people intoxicated), refreshing pills (can make the mind clear and agile, and the spirit refreshed)

He Yuzhu looked at the pills he had received as a reward for successfully becoming a disciple, but he had not used them yet. He thought that he should use them in advance. This way, when he returned home, even if He Daqing found out, he would not think too much about it and would think that he had gotten some spices from his master.

So he carefully took out the pills and prepared to take them. He took a deep breath and looked at the two crystal clear pills.

The fragrance pills are a mysterious purple, as if they contain endless charm; the energy pills are bright yellow, giving people a feeling of fresh vitality.

He Yuzhu put the two pills into his mouth and swallowed them gently with saliva. He felt the pills slide down his throat and a warm current flowed down his esophagus.

Before long, he felt his body was filled with energy, his mind became unusually clear, and his senses became more acute.

He felt a faint fragrance emanating from his entire body, which was undetectable unless one was close enough.

When He Daqing returned home, he saw the changes in He Yuzhu and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked He Yuzhu up and down and found that his son had become more handsome and taller, and his temperament had also changed a lot. But He Daqing didn't think much about it, thinking that He Yuzhu was just growing up with age.

Looking at He Yuzhu like this, He Daqing's tone also became gentle.

He said directly: "I have arranged for you to be an apprentice in the third kitchen of the steel rolling mill. You will work with me first. When you gradually adapt, I will apply for your permanent position."

He Yuzhu was very surprised to hear the news. He didn't expect his father to arrange a job for him right now.

But he also knew that this was a rare opportunity. He looked into He Daqing's eyes and said gratefully, "I see, Dad. Thank you."

He Daqing was relieved when he heard his son's words. He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Don't thank me. As long as you work hard, you will have a bright future."

At this time, He Yushui ran back happily. Before she even reached the house, she shouted, "Dad, Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket is back! Come pick me up quickly, or I'll be angry, hum!"

He Daqing heard his daughter's voice and walked out immediately. He picked up He Yushui lovingly and said with a smile: "Why did my little cotton-padded jacket come back so early? Didn't Daddy say he would pick you up?"

He Yushui pouted and said, "I heard that Silly Brother is coming back today, so I wanted to come back in advance to see him. I haven't seen Silly Brother for a long time, and Silly Brother doesn't miss me. I won't be friends with him anymore!"

He Daqing was very happy after hearing this. He knew that his daughter was angry that her silly son didn't come back to see her often, so he said, "Your silly brother will live at home from now on. Are you happy?"

"Really? Then I can see Silly Brother every day from now on? In that case, I will forgive him reluctantly." He Yushui said with some pride.

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui's lovely appearance and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a warm smile. He gently rubbed He Yushui's hair and asked softly: "Yushui, look at who I am?"

He Yushui looked up at He Yuzhu, and her eyes immediately lit up, twinkling with joy like stars. She shouted in surprise: "It's Silly Brother! You're finally back, I missed you so much!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I miss you too. I will always be with you in the future."

He Yushui was afraid that the silly brother in front of him was not real. He couldn't believe his eyes, so he shouted repeatedly: "Silly brother! Silly brother!"

He Yuzhu touched her head lovingly and responded gently: "I'm here! I'm here!"

He Daqing watched the intimate interaction between the two, and the joy in his heart was beyond words. His eyes were slightly red, and tears were rolling in his eyes. He tried hard to control his emotions, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a relieved smile.

He Daqing coughed lightly, trying to hide his emotion. He looked at He Yuzhu and He Yushui and said jokingly, "Yushui, now you have a silly brother, don't you want a dad anymore?"

He Yushui looked at He Daqing and then at He Yuzhu in some confusion, as if she was thinking about what to choose. Her little expression was very cute and made people like her very much.

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui's little expression and couldn't bear it, so he said, "Okay, don't think about it, our dad is just joking with you!"

When He Yushui heard what He Yuzhu said, she immediately looked at He Daqing, only to see He Daqing looking at her with a smile on his face. Her little heart suddenly became angry, and she threw herself into He Daqing's arms and said coquettishly: "Dad is bad, Dad bullies Yushui, humph, if you don't let me eat one more candy today, I won't forgive Dad."

He Daqing laughed even more happily after hearing He Yushui's complaints. He picked up He Yushui and said, "Okay, okay, Daddy is bad, Daddy will get you some candy right now, okay?"

He Daqing handed He Yushui a candy, tapped her nose with amusement and said, "Here, you are allowed to have one more candy today." After that, he took a piece of candy from the cupboard and handed it to He Yushui. After thinking for a while, he handed another piece to He Yuzhu.

After He Yushui got the candy, he immediately jumped out excitedly to play with his friends.

He Yuzhu took the candy handed to him by He Daqing with some surprise. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would still have candy to eat at such an age.

He Daqing felt a little embarrassed when He Yuzhu looked at him, so he said in a timid tone, "What are you looking at? Go cook. Let me see how your cooking skills have improved over the years."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll show you my cooking skills today and let you taste my cooking skills." After that, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu's back, feeling relieved. He thought of He Yuzhu's mother, that gentle and kind woman. If she were still alive, she would be so happy to see this scene. He sighed softly, his eyes revealing nostalgia for the past.

He turned and walked into the house, took out a photo of He Yuzhu's mother from the cabinet. Looking at her smiling face, He Daqing's eyes turned slightly red again.

……

At dinner time, He Yuzhu served the carefully prepared two-pack of dry food and hot and sour potato shreds. He shouted, "Dad, you wash your hands with rainwater before eating." There was a hint of nervousness and expectation in his voice.

When He Daqing heard the sound, he immediately put down his work and walked to the sink with his daughter. He washed her hands carefully and gently carried her to the table to sit down.

At this moment, He Daqing's eyes lit up when he saw the golden shredded potatoes on the table.

The shredded potatoes looked quite good, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he broke off half of the dry food for He Yushui, put some vegetables in the bowl, placed it in front of her, watched her eat with relish, and then began to taste He Yuzhu's cooking.

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing nervously, paying attention to his every move. He saw He Daqing finish a mouthful of shredded potatoes with an expressionless face, and then take a bite of dry food.

Then he said, "The taste is OK, but it's not cooked enough. The potato shreds are not cut evenly and the sizes are not consistent. I need to practice my knife skills more in the future."

He Yuzhu was very satisfied to hear He Daqing say this. After all, he learned Tan cuisine from his master, so it was a bit difficult for him to make Sichuan cuisine this time.

However, he still continued with He Daqing's words and said, "I understand. I will practice more in the future. I will cook the meals at home from now on. It's a good opportunity for me to practice my cooking skills." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued eating.
