Last night, He Yuzhu taught Liu Xiuxiu how to read until late at night, and the two of them finished their study. As a result, when He Yuzhu got up from the bed in the morning, he still felt sleepy and had a dull headache.

He gently rubbed his temples, trying to wake himself up. Then, he looked at Liu Xiuxiu, who had woken up because of his actions, and said softly, "Xiuxiu, I may be back late today. If I am not back when you get off work, you can eat first and don't have to wait for me."

Liu Xiuxiu opened her eyes dazedly, and seeing He Yuzhu's slightly tired face, she asked with concern: "Did I pester you to teach me how to read yesterday and taught you too late? Did you not sleep well last night? Do you want to rest a little longer?"

He Yuzhu looked at her concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm fine. I have an important task today, so I have to go to Director Wang's house early."

Liu Xiuxiu listened and nodded to show her understanding. She knew to tell He Yuzhu to slow down, and seeing that it was still early, she turned around and fell asleep again.

He Yuzhu turned and walked out of the room and headed for the door. Not far from the courtyard, he met the fat man and Ma Hua who were waiting there with the things they promised to Director Wang.

"Hey, you two came so early!" He Yuzhu greeted with a smile.

The fat man scratched his head and said with a smile: "Master, we were afraid that you would get up and not see us, so we came a little early."

Ma Hua also nodded in agreement. They knew that the master had an important task today, so they came early to wait.

He Yuzhu looked at the eager eyes of the two apprentices and was touched. He knew that although the two apprentices were not good at speaking, they were still very reliable at critical moments. He patted their shoulders and said, "Okay, let's go to Director Wang's house together!"

The three of them came to the door of Director Wang's house, and He Yuzhu knocked gently. After a while, the door opened, and Director Wang's warm smile appeared in front of them.

"Oh, Yuzhu, you're finally here! Please come in, please come in!" Director Wang said as she stepped aside to let the three people in. Her face was full of enthusiasm.

He Yuzhu nodded to express his gratitude. He walked into the kitchen and scanned the neat kitchen, seeing that everything was ready, with vegetables, seasonings, etc. neatly placed in designated locations. He couldn't help but sigh at Director Wang's attentiveness, and such preparations really saved them a lot of time.

He turned to Fatty and Ma Hua and said, "You two go cut and prepare the vegetables first, I'll cook." Then he walked to the stove and began to think about today's menu. His eyes revealed concentration and seriousness, as if he was creating a beautiful painting.

Fatty and Ma Hua immediately took action after hearing this. They skillfully picked up knives and cutting boards and began to work. Their movements were swift and orderly, and they cooperated well. It was obvious that they were used to this kind of work process.

At the kitchen door, Director Wang looked at the busy He Yuzhu and his two apprentices, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She knew that the decision to invite He Yuzhu to cook this time was absolutely correct. She looked at He Yuzhu's focused back and couldn't help but sigh at his superb cooking skills.

So Director Wang turned and left the kitchen, walking briskly towards the front yard. She knew that the guests who had been waiting for a long time were looking forward to today's feast, and she had to go and entertain them.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu looked at the dishes prepared by Fatty and Ma Hua and nodded with satisfaction. He waved to the two to take a break and prepared to start his own cooking journey.

His technique is skillful and precise, and every move is full of confidence and strength. The flames are dancing at the bottom of the pot, as if they are dancing in harmony with him. The spatula is flying in his hands, performing a graceful dance with the flames.

He Yuzhu stopped cooking in the middle of the meal, glanced at the fat man beside him, and said, "Fatty, don't forget to steam a basket of longevity peaches, which symbolizes longevity and good luck."

The fat man nodded his head to show that he understood and turned to walk towards the steamer. His movements were quick and skillful, as if he was already used to the master's instructions. After a while, as the steam rose, a basket of exquisite longevity peaches came out of the pot.

At this time, the guests in the front yard have been seated one after another. Their eyes are attracted by the exquisite dishes on the table, as if they have been captured by the tempting aroma. They all praise the delicious color, aroma and taste of these dishes, and can't help but make satisfied exclamations.

When the last birthday peach was served on the table, the guests exclaimed in amazement. They all said that they must put such birthday peaches on their own birthday banquets to symbolize longevity and good luck.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, the guests' curiosity was gradually aroused. They began to curiously inquire about who the chef was, hoping to invite him to cook for them on their birthdays.

Director Wang looked at the guests' excited expressions and responded with a smile, but she did not directly agree on behalf of He Yuzhu. She knew that only He Yuzhu could decide whether to accept these invitations.

So Director Wang turned and walked to the kitchen to discuss the matter with He Yuzhu. She gently pushed open the kitchen door, and a familiar aroma came to her face, which was the unique taste of He Yuzhu's dishes. She walked into the kitchen and saw He Yuzhu concentrating on arranging the kitchen utensils, and every movement seemed so meticulous.

Director Wang walked up to He Yuzhu and said softly, "Yuzhu, there are some guests outside who want to meet you. They praised your cooking skills today and asked if you would like to host a banquet for their family as well."

He Yuzhu stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He looked at Director Wang, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement. At that moment, his eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, as if everything was under his control.

Director Wang was overjoyed when she saw He Yuzhu nod. Her face was filled with excitement and joy, and she patted He Yuzhu's shoulder excitedly: "Great! I'll take you to see them right away!"

Director Wang turned around and walked briskly out of the kitchen, followed closely by He Yuzhu, whose steps were steady and calm. When they arrived at the front yard, the guests' eyes were focused on He Yuzhu, their eyes full of curiosity. Some even whispered and signaled to Director Wang with their eyes, wanting to confirm whether this was the legendary chef today.

Director Wang noticed the guests' reactions, smiled and nodded, then stepped forward and formally introduced He Yuzhu to the guests. Her words were full of admiration and respect for He Yuzhu, allowing everyone present to feel her importance to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu greeted everyone after being introduced by Director Wang. He always kept a gentle smile on his face. After everyone got to know each other, he did not stay in the front yard for long, but turned back to the kitchen to continue his work.

When He Yuzhu had finished cleaning up everything in the kitchen, Director Wang came over again. She handed a thick remuneration to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu took the money and thanked Director Wang with a smile.

Then, He Yuzhu turned around and left Director Wang's house with his two apprentices. After leaving Director Wang's house, he took out two five-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Fatty and Ma Hua respectively.

The two looked at the money in their hands, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They knew the master's rules. Since the master gave so much money, there must be a reason for it. They held the money in their hands tightly and looked at He Yuzhu with gratitude.

He Yuzhu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two men, and replied directly: "Okay, it's so late, let's go back quickly." After that, he waved his hand and left.
