After returning to Taifeng Building, he just happened to catch it opening, and thus, He Yuzhu began his day of apprenticeship.

"Zhu Zi, remember, if the heat is the soul of a dish and can make the taste of the dish reach a higher level, then seasoning is the foundation. If the seasoning is not adjusted well, no matter how well you control the heat, it will be useless."

As he spoke, Master Ye took out a gram scale, which is one of the few things in this era that can weigh items in grams.

Master Ye casually grabbed a handful of salt from the salt jar and put it on the scale. Without even looking at it, he said, "Fifty-two grams."

When He Yuzhu took a look at the weight, he found that it was exactly 52 grams, no more and no less. He immediately looked at Master Ye with admiration.

Is this the strength of a top chef? It's really terrifying!

Master Ye ignored He Yuzhu's admiring gaze and continued, "We all know that the more accurate the seasoning is, the better, but we can't always put a scale in our hands when we cook, otherwise the dish will be mushy by the time you add the seasoning, so this requires us to have a scale in our hearts, and this is also what you need to learn.

Real masters don't need to taste the food when they cook. They already know what the taste is when they put the seasonings in. Only in this way can the taste of the food be guaranteed to be always the same. Remember?"

"Master, I remember it. How long do you think it will take me to learn your technique?" He Yuzhu asked Master Ye while looking at the scale.

"This? It depends on your comprehension. People with good comprehension can do it in half a year or a year at most, while people with poor comprehension may not be able to master it in their entire life. But you are different. I will only give you three months. You must achieve an error within one gram. Do you hear me?"

Master Ye is very optimistic about his apprentice He Yuzhu, so he dares to assign him a task that seems impossible to complete at first glance.

"No problem, Master. I promise to complete the task." He Yuzhu took the gram scale and pinched out a small handful of salt from the salt jar like his master did, muttering to himself, "This is about ten grams."

But when he put it on the scale, he found that the pinch of salt actually weighed fifteen grams, which was much less than what he had imagined.

He Yuzhu carefully used chopsticks to remove the excess salt on the scale, leaving only ten grams of salt, and then poured it into the palm of his hand to feel the weight of ten grams of salt.

After putting the salt back into the salt shaker, I pinched out a pinch of salt, put it on my palm and felt it. When I felt it was about right, I put it on the scale. Unexpectedly, it was heavier again!

But this time it was a little better than last time, it was reduced from 15 grams to 13 grams.

He Yuzhu refused to accept the decision, so he poured the salt on the scale back into the jar and took out a handful to continue weighing.

"Come again!"

"Come again!!"

“Come again!!!”

In this way, He Yuzhu spent the whole day struggling with the scale. In the end, He Yuzhu was able to control the error within two grams.

But it is these last two grams that are the most difficult part.

Each reduction in grams represents an exponential increase in difficulty, just like a fat person losing weight. It is easiest to reduce weight from 200 kg to 180 kg. As long as you learn to exercise and control your diet, you can lose weight in less than two months.

However, it is much more difficult to reduce your weight from 180 to 160. Not only do you need to exercise and control your diet, but you also need to develop a scientific exercise plan and a scientific diet. You can't just exercise randomly like before and expect to succeed.

It is extremely difficult to reduce weight from 160 to 140 kg, and every pound lost is a major breakthrough.

He Yuzhu is now at the stage of reducing from 160 to 140. There is no shortcut and he can only rely on himself to break through this bottleneck.

Now even his proficiency can’t save him. The only use of that thing is to make his salt grabbing posture more smooth.

In the next ten days, He Yuzhu struggled with the salt jar every day. Finally, on the thirteenth day, He Yuzhu successfully conquered the salt jar.

"Master, look, I succeeded."

Before Master Ye, who had just started work, had time to drink a sip of tea, He Yuzhu pulled him to the kitchen to see the results of his practice.

"This is twenty grams." He Yuzhu also imitated Master Ye and pinched it casually, grabbed a small handful from the salt jar and put it on the scale, exactly twenty grams.

"This is ten grams." Do it again, and the final result is still the same as last time.

This stunned Master Ye who was standing by. He knew that his apprentice was extremely talented, but he didn't expect that he was so talented.

You have to know that even for him, it took him five months to achieve this when he first learned to cook, and he was only able to do this with his father constantly correcting him.

Originally, Master Ye's idea was to set an impossible task to curb He Yuzhu's arrogance. After all, geniuses always have a sense of arrogance, and this arrogance was nothing to behold in the early stages.

But the longer the time is pushed, the greater the damage will be. There are many geniuses who have a smooth life, but in the end, when they encounter unprecedented setbacks, they are hit so hard that they can't get up again, and they become like ordinary people.

But what he didn't expect was that He Yuzhu's talent was so terrifying that he accomplished in less than half a month what took him three months to do. This made Master Ye's old face turn red.

"Master, there's more to it than that. Look." After saying that, He Yuzhu took another spoon and used the spoon instead of his hands to scoop out a pinch of salt from the salt jar and put it on the scale.

"This time it's twelve grams." He Yuzhu said confidently.

The fact was just as he said, exactly twelve grams, no more, no less.

"It's true, Zhuzi, you are amazing." You know, the fact that the usually cold Master Ye could say such words is enough to show how much shock He Yuzhu has caused to his heart.

"Hehe, it's not as great as you say." He Yuzhu scratched his head and smiled modestly.

In fact, He Yuzhu was able to achieve this level in such a short time mainly due to two points.

One point is He Yuzhu's more than 60 years of cooking experience in his previous life. You know, although He Yuzhu in his previous life could not compare with the chefs like Taifenglou, he was at least a level seven chef, which was considered one of the best chefs.

Relying on the experience and muscle memory left over from the previous life, He Yuzhu did not have to start from scratch like a novice, which gave him some advantages over others. After all, there was probably no one else in the world who was fourteen years old but had sixty years of work experience except He Yuzhu.

The second point is thanks to He Yuzhu's martial arts. As mentioned earlier, Bajiquan is a powerful boxing style that requires the user to have a strong control over his own strength.

People are made of flesh. Just practicing martial arts doesn't turn your flesh into iron. If you don't know how to control your strength, your bones will break in no time.

He Yuzhu thought of this point. Since you can't directly increase the proficiency of this, why don't I just practice martial arts directly?
