Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

Just like what someone said, if you put so many seasonings, even if you stir-fry slippers, it will taste good. Such dishes cannot reflect a person's level.

Only dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which are easy to make but difficult to master, are the best way to test your ability.

Obviously, everyone present knew this, and they began to cook with serious expressions.

He Yuzhu was not as relaxed as in the previous round. He just took a tomato and with his master-level knife skills, he neatly divided the tomato into four petals.

The amazing thing is that after cutting the tomatoes, the chopping board remains dry, as if the moisture of the tomatoes is locked inside, without a drop remaining.

The next step is to heat up the oil in a wok. Taking into consideration that most of the people who sign up this time are teenagers, Taifenglou thoughtfully prepared a smaller wok for them.

He Yuzhu's movements were not slow at all and he started cooking smoothly.

"Yeah, that's right. I really didn't make a mistake. Looking at the kid's movements, I dare say that it's impossible to have such beautiful movements without more than ten years of cooking experience."

"Exactly. If it weren't for his face, which can't be more than fifteen, just looking at his movements, I would have thought he was some idle old man who came here to amuse us."

"Hey Old Ye, do you think this kid has been learning to cook since he was in his mother's womb? Otherwise, how could he be so skilled?"

"Why, he's a genius, isn't that enough? I'm telling you, I want this guy, don't snatch him from me."

"Hey, how come it's yours? How can a dead face like you take an apprentice? It's better to leave it to me."

"If you have the guts, say what you just said to me again!"

Just when the two famous chefs in the city were about to fight, the five o'clock deadline had arrived.

The remaining fifteen people had already packed the dishes and placed them on the table, waiting for the chefs to taste them.

But what was strange was that the two chefs, who originally seemed to have a good relationship, were now far apart and turned their heads away from each other.

This made it tough for these apprentices. Master Xiao, who had originally been quite kind, now had a sour face, not to mention Master Ye, who was already very fierce, and now even swore at them.

"Is there something wrong with your hands? You made a mess on the countertop while cooking. Clean it up right away!"

"And you, why don't you look at what you made, it's not shiny at all, not even a dog would eat it."

"And you, what are your eyes for? Can't you see that the eggs you fried are already mushy? You fail!"

In this way, the two chefs kept cursing as they walked, and some apprentices with weaker psychological endurance began to shed tears.

They didn't even try most of the dishes, they just took a look and gave them an unsatisfactory rating.

Only a very small number of people were allowed to taste it, but judging from their expressions, they were obviously not very satisfied.

When they arrived at the last counter, they saw the dishes on the table and their eyes suddenly lit up.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table were crystal clear, exuding an attractive luster, and a sour and sweet aroma was constantly stimulating the taste buds of the two.

"Mm, not bad, with just the right amount of sweetness and sourness. The eggs are cooked to a very good temperature, not overcooked at all."

"Yes, it tastes really good. Look at this soup. It would be a waste if you don't mix it with rice."

The two chefs have changed their previous strictness and were generous in praising the dish cooked by He Yuzhu.

When he returned to the stage, Master Xiao announced the results for Manager Ma without waiting for him to speak.

"Okay, those who nodded after Lao Ye and I moved our chopsticks just now can stay, and everyone else can go."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate uproar. One should know that the two of them had only picked up their chopsticks no more than five times, and nodded only three times at the end.

These twenty people emerged from nearly three hundred people, and only three were eliminated. This elimination rate is really too terrifying.

Manager Ma clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back, and said, "Okay, everyone, thank you for coming to our exam today, but unfortunately we are still not destined to meet. Please go back."

Since even Manager Ma said so, the remaining sixteen people could only pack up their things in disappointment and follow the kitchen helper to leave the yard.

Only He Yuzhu and the other two were left standing alone in the yard. Although they had all passed the selection, the difference between them could be seen from their appearance.

The two people except He Yuzhu were filled with pride at this moment, and they looked as if they wished they could lift their noses up to the sky.

In contrast to them was He Yuzhu, who had a calm face, as if he had just passed the assessment of an ordinary restaurant instead of Taifeng Building, one of the eight buildings.

At this moment, he was picking up a pair of chopsticks and eating the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he had cooked as if no one was around.

He Yuzhu usually couldn't bear to eat this kind of dish which required a lot of oil, but since this was a rare opportunity to eat it for free, He Yuzhu certainly wouldn't let it go.

What the three of them didn't know was that in fact, not only Master Xiao and Master Ye were present, but the other eight famous chefs were also standing outside the yard, watching the test.

Especially when he saw that He Yuzhu was not cheering like the other two, but was eating the food he cooked with a calm face, one of the oldest men touched his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, that's right. This is what a chef should be like. As a chef, one should not be surprised by praise or criticism. This kid has the demeanor of a great general."

"Yes, it's a good seedling. It's really a good deal for Lao Xiao and Lao Ye." Another chef said enviously.

He wanted to recruit He Yuzhu as his subordinate, but there was no way. The rules stated that the chief examiner chef would choose first, and it would be their turn only after they had finished choosing.

"That's right, they always have such bad luck, it really piss me off."

"Why don't we stop them and beat them up after get off work today, or I won't be able to swallow this anger."

"Pay attention to this, count me in, and we'll see who the kid joins as his disciple, and then we'll beat him up."

"No problem. I'll go find the stick and sack now so I can find them later."

The two complacent people inside were unaware that danger had quietly approached. They were now planning to use all their tricks to lure He Yuzhu into their group.

After seeing that all the irrelevant people had left, Manager Ma said to the two masters with a respectful face, "Master Xiao, Master Ye, you can start accepting apprentices now. Please choose the apprentices you want to take."

Manager Ma had no choice but to be respectful. After all, he was just running errands for the boss and could be replaced by someone else at any time.

But these two masters are the capital for Taifenglou to gain a foothold in the city of Sijiu, and their status is much higher than his.

"Okay, then I'll choose which little brother."

As soon as Manager Ma finished speaking, the two masters pointed at He Yuzhu who was eating in the corner.
