Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Over the past few years, as he used the blessed land and cave, He Yuzhu also discovered some details that he had not noticed before, such as the two stone beasts in front of the square gate that had the effect of deterring livestock. The poultry and livestock he raised on the grassland never approached the two stone beasts, but bees, crickets and other insects were not affected. Because this caused the insects on the mountain to proliferate, He Yuzhu finally raised some pigeons on the mountain, and with the pigeons' suppression, the insects were finally suppressed.

There is also the enlightenment stone in the Wuji Hall. As He Yuzhu used it for a long time, he discovered that the futon should not be the enlightenment stone in mythological novels that can improve one's understanding. He Yuzhu found that he did not become smarter, but his mind became more responsive and easier to concentrate when sitting on the futon. His initial feeling might be that the futon helped his soul to merge with Shazhu's soul, so he mistakenly thought that the stone was the enlightenment stone.

According to He Yuzhu's own guess, the reason why he was able to open the blessed land cave is because his soul merged with Shazhu's soul, and his mental power was greater than that of ordinary people, so he could meet the requirements for activating the blessed land cave. Ordinary people's mental power could not activate the blessed land cave at all. This is why he could not activate the blessed land cave in his previous life, but he could activate it after traveling through time. As for how He Yuzhu discovered that the futon could not improve his comprehension, it had to start from the establishment of the New Dragon Kingdom. After He Yuzhu participated in the conference on the establishment of the New Dragon Kingdom, he was so excited that he planned to use the enlightenment stone to abandon cooking and become a generation of scientific masters. So He Yuzhu borrowed a textbook of advanced mathematics from the Sijiucheng Library without knowing his own limitations. As a result, He Yuzhu found that even if he sat on the enlightenment stone, he still couldn't understand the book, so He Yuzhu's dream of becoming a scientist came to an abrupt end.

In the four months after He Daqing left, He Yuzhu built chicken coops in the space. The new chicken coops were designed to be suspended and high in order to facilitate picking up the eggs laid by the hens. The bottom of the chicken coop was 5000 meters above the ground. The bottom was made of bamboo beams. The top was made of bamboo split in half to make tiles, and straw was laid inside to make nests. The two chicken coops were back-to-back, and He Yuzhu built a total of chicken coops that could accommodate chickens. Fortunately, the bamboo planted a few years ago has reached the high-yield period, otherwise it would be impossible to build so many chicken coops.

This year, the camellia oil trees and orange trees planted in the blessed land finally began to bloom. He Yuzhu is looking forward to how much camellia oil and oranges they can produce. After several years of breeding, the planting area of ​​sugarcane has reached half an acre. He Yuzhu made traditional brown sugar from sugarcane through simple processing. In the future, he will have the opportunity to use bamboo to burn bamboo charcoal to filter sugarcane juice to see if he can make some white sugar.

As more and more plants bloom in Fudi Dongtian, He Yuzhu has increased the number of bees raised from one box to eight boxes, and can harvest nearly 8 kilograms of honey every year. It is estimated that when the huanghuali trees bloom, he will raise a few more boxes of bees, and he will not have to work hard to grow sugarcane, and can rely on honey instead of sugar.

Although a large number of pigs were sold before, the number of pigs suddenly exceeded 1000 in half a year as the sows gave birth to pigs again. For the convenience of management, He Yuzhu just raised pigs on one side of the river on the grassland, and the other side was mainly used for sheep, cattle, sika deer, roe deer, yellow sheep and chickens. In the future, the output of Fudi Dongtian will be mainly pigs and eggs. Since it is too hard to grow food, the scale will not be expanded. It is enough for ourselves to eat. When the output of camellia oil trees increases, we can consider selling some camellia oil.

The steel mill was closed on this weekend. As He Yuzhu had said before, he would treat Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Yan Jiecheng to dinner. After finishing his meal in the morning, He Yuzhu rushed to Shichahai with rainwater to prepare for fishing. He Yuzhu first went to the vegetable market to buy some loaches, intending to use them as bait. After buying loaches, He Yuzhu went to Shichahai and found a place with few people. He Yuzhu hung the loach on the hook, then threw the hook far away. After less than 5 minutes, a fish took the bait. At this moment, He Yuzhu seemed to be possessed by Tianyuan Deng Gang. After 5 minutes of fishing, He Yuzhu noticed that the fish's reaction began to decrease, so he pulled the fish up and saw that he had caught a large black carp. He weighed it with his hand and it was about 4 kilograms.

He Yushui clapped his hands excitedly and acted as the atmosphere group: "Big brother is awesome."

He Yuzhu considered that the three people he invited were all young men, and they were all old enough to eat their father to death, so he decided to catch a few more fish, and he could eat this one fish by himself. He Yuzhu took the black carp off the hook and threw it into the bucket. He hung a loach on the hook again and continued fishing. Then He Yuzhu continued to fish, and caught 3 black carps in less than half an hour. He Yuzhu looked at the 4 black carps in the bucket, which added up to at least 12 kilograms, which was basically enough for several people to eat, so he packed up his things and went home directly.

When he returned to the gate of the courtyard, he met the third uncle Yan Bugui in the front yard. Yan Bugui looked at the fish in He Yuzhu's bucket with envy, but he didn't say anything. Maybe it was because the third uncle Yan Bugui only had two children, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, and the pressure of life was not that great, and the abacus bloodline had not yet awakened. Seeing He Yuzhu disappear from the front yard with such a big fish in his bucket, Yan Bugui decided to go fishing when he had a break in the future. He would sell the big fish and pickle the small fish for himself.

He Yuzhu put the bucket of fish next to the water dragon pond in the yard and asked He Yushui to watch over it while he went into the kitchen to get a knife to kill the fish. As soon as He Yuzhu came out of the small yard in front of the kitchen with a knife and a basin, he saw Jia Zhang coming up with a licking face.

"Zhu Zi, it's so hot, and there are so many fish in your bucket that you can't finish them all in one meal. Why don't you give me two and I'll help you eat them. If you want to eat more, go fish in Shichahai."

"Aunt Jia, thank you for your kindness, but don't worry about the fish today. I have to treat people to a meal, and this may not be enough."

After hearing Jia Zhang's shameless words, He Yuzhu did not get angry but responded with a smile.

"Then give me one and I'll help you kill the fish. I'm very good at killing fish." Jia Zhang continued without giving up.

"Aunt Jia, I really don't need your help. You should take a rest. I'm a cook. Killing fish is a basic skill. Are you sure you are better than me?"

He Yuzhu ignored Jia Zhangshi and went straight to the pool, took a fish out of the bucket and started to scale it. Jia Zhangshi saw that she couldn't get any advantage, so she went back home muttering. He Yuzhu killed the four fish, cleaned them up and carried them back to the kitchen.

He Yuzhu cut a pattern on the fish, added cooking wine and salt, and spread it evenly on the fish to start marinating. While the fish was being marinated, He Yuzhu asked Yushui to stay at home to look after the house, and he rode his bicycle to the market to buy side dishes for the grilled fish. He Yuzhu bought 2 kilograms of tofu, 1 kilogram of bean sprouts, and 1 kilogram of celery at the market.

After buying vegetables, He Yuzhu returned home and put the vegetables on the kitchen table. Then he washed his hands and scooped 2 scoops of white flour and 1 scoop of cornmeal from the basin and began to mix the dough. After the dough was mixed, he covered the basin with a lid and set it aside to wake up. He Yuzhu began to prepare the side dishes. First, he removed the celery leaves from the celery and set them aside. Then he washed the celery in a basin and set it aside to drain the water on the surface of the celery. After washing the celery, he poured the soybean sprouts into the basin, first picked out the soybean skins in the water, then changed to a basin of clean water and washed them again. He took the washed soybean sprouts out of the basin and set them aside for later use.

He Yuzhu then began to clean up the tofu, rinsed it in water, and cut it into cubes one inch wide and half a finger thick. He Yuzhu cleaned up the side dishes and found the grilled fish rack and the tray for stewing and grilling fish that he had ordered from a blacksmith in the storage room next to the kitchen. The tray was a round plate with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of 15 cm. Then he took out the grilled fish stove that he had ordered from a blacksmith from the storage room. He Yuzhu poured the pre-burned bamboo charcoal into the stove and ignited it with wood from the kitchen.

He Yuzhu cleaned the tray before the bamboo charcoal was completely burned, spread the bean sprouts on the tray, then cut the celery into one-inch long segments and spread the celery evenly on the tray, and finally spread the tofu on top of the celery and bean sprouts.

When the bamboo charcoal is burning, He Yuzhu puts the grill on the stove and starts grilling the fish. When the fish is 5% to 6% cooked, brush a layer of oil on the surface of the fish. When it is 1% cooked, brush another layer of oil, sprinkle cumin powder, and grill for minute. Put it in a tray with bean sprouts, celery, and tofu for later use. Put a tablespoon of lard in a wok, add ginger, garlic, and bean paste, stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant, then add chicken essence and sugar to taste, and finally add celery and cucumber sections, bring to a boil over high heat, and pour it into the tray with the fish. Put a spoonful of rapeseed oil in another pot, heat it to %, add dried chili peppers and dried Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant, and pour it on the fish.

He Yuzhu moved the big table from the main hall to the small courtyard, put two wooden boards on the table, placed the stove on the boards, and then put the tray on the stove to start stewing the fish. As the water in the tray began to boil, the fragrance wafted away. He Yushui immediately moved a stool to the table when he smelled the fragrance, ready to eat the fish as soon as it was cooked.

Jia Zhang smelled the fragrance at home, swallowed a mouthful of water and started to scold: "This idiot Zhu has no love at all. He caught four fish and didn't even say he would give us one. He is really heartless."

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the aroma. Jia Dongxu said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, give me some money. I'll go out and buy some meat. We'll have meat for lunch today."

Jia Zhang took out 5000 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Jia Dongxu, and reminded him: "When choosing meat, remember to choose the ones with more fat, and don't buy the lean ones."

"Okay, I got it. I'll go out to buy meat." Jia Dongxu said, opened the door and walked out.

While the fish was stewing, He Yuzhu took the dough he had kneaded earlier out of the basin, placed it on the chopping board and began to roll out the noodles. When the noodles were rolled out, He Yuzhu took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock, and it was time to call Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng.

He Yuzhu first came to the front yard and stood in the yard shouting Yan Jiecheng's name towards the third uncle's house. Yan Jiecheng walked out of the house when he heard He Yuzhu calling him. He Yuzhu saw Yan Jiecheng coming out.

"Tell your mother not to cook for you at noon. Come to my house at noon today and I will treat you to fish. There are still some things in my kitchen that are not cleaned up. When you go to my house later, please go to the backyard to call Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi. By the way, remember to bring your own bowls and chopsticks when you go there. I don't have that many chopsticks and bowls at home." After saying this, He Yuzhu turned around and walked towards the central courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng agreed immediately, and went back to the house and said to Yan Bugui: "Dad, don't cook for me at noon today. He Yuzhu invited me, Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi to eat fish." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen, picked up a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and left the house. Yan Bugui smelled the fragrance from the yard, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart why he didn't have the good fortune of his son. Why didn't He Yuzhu invite himself when he invited his son?

Yan Jiecheng ran all the way to the backyard and shouted loudly: "Liu Guangqi, Xu Damao, come out quickly. He Yuzhu asked me to call you two to his house for dinner." Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi smelled the fragrance coming from the middle courtyard at home. Their stomachs were rumbling with hunger. When they heard Yan Jiecheng's voice, they immediately said to their parents at the same time: "Mom (Dad), don't cook lunch today. He Yuzhu wants to treat me." As soon as they said that, both of them ran out of the house immediately.

When Yan Jiecheng saw Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi coming out of their house empty-handed, he immediately raised his bowl and chopsticks and signaled to them, "He Yuzhu said that his family doesn't have that many chopsticks and bowls, so he asked us to bring our own bowls and chopsticks when we go. You two should go home and get them."

When the two heard this, they immediately ran back home to get their own bowls and chopsticks and hurried out. Yan Jiecheng saw two people who also brought their eating utensils appeared in the yard, and motioned for them to follow him. The three of them rushed to the middle yard. Xu Damao saw that the door of He Yuzhu's main hall was locked, and immediately shouted: "He Yuzhu, the three of us are here, is the meal ready?"

He Yuzhu opened the gate of the courtyard and said, "Xu Damao, stop shouting and come in quickly. The food will be ready soon."

The three followed He Yuzhu into the courtyard. He Yuzhu pointed at a large plate of fish on the table and said, "See, the dishes your brother Zhuzi prepared today are really good. I guarantee you won't forget them after eating them once. Go to that room and move your own stools."

"I will definitely be tough. From now on, you will be my brother Zhu." Xu Damao immediately expressed his opinion. Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiechengye also echoed him.

He Yuzhu sprinkled the chopped green onion and coriander that he had prepared in advance on the grilled fish. He Yuzhu went into the kitchen and found the bowls and chopsticks that he and Yu Shui used for eating. After washing them, he took the bowls and chopsticks to the courtyard. When He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen, he saw three hungry wolves had already moved their stools and were sitting by the table waiting for him.

He Yuzhu came to the table and sat on a stool. "Let me tell you in advance, this fish is a black carp, and some of the fish bones are relatively small. Don't be impatient when you eat it, and be careful not to get the fish bones stuck in your throat, which would be embarrassing. I caught 4 fish today, and after killing them, they will probably weigh nearly 10 kilograms. After eating the fish, there will be noodles, which will definitely fill you up. Now, let's eat!"

The three of them waited for He Yuzhu to pick up a piece of fish before they started to use their chopsticks. He Yuzhu put the fish into He Yushui's bowl, carefully separated the fish meat, and picked out the fish bones. "Eat slowly, Yushui, be careful not to get the fish bones stuck in your throat."

Because of He Yuzhu's reminder and the fact that there seemed to be a lot of fish on the tray, the three people seemed to be eating in a more polite manner. After the three people picked up the first piece of fish and put it into their mouths, their eyes lit up. After seeing the three people eat it, He Yuzhu asked, "How does it taste?"

The three people could only mumble that it was delicious because they were eating fish. Xu Damao even gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up with his left hand. He Yuzhu also picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. Hmm, it tasted good, much better than the Wanzhou grilled fish he had in his previous life. The right amount of spicy and hot could satisfy the taste buds without over-stimulating the mouth. He could achieve this level of quality in his first grilled fish. He could only say that he was indeed the saint of cooking. Of course, he also had to thank the seasonings of this era for being more authentic than those of later generations.

In the end, the whole tray of fish and noodles prepared by He Yuzhu were eaten by several people. The fish soup in the pot was poured into the bowls of Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangqi and drunk with noodles. The three people were conquered by He Yuzhu's cooking skills at once. The three people said that He Yuzhu was their brother Zhu, and they would hang out with him in the future, as long as he arranged such fish occasionally. He Yuzhu smiled and told the three people who were full to get out. The three people took their bowls and chopsticks to say goodbye to He Yuzhu and returned to their homes.

After Xu Damao got home, he boasted to his father, "Dad, you don't know how delicious the fish cooked by He Yuzhu is. I will go fishing in Shichahai in the future. After I catch the fish, I will ask He Yuzhu to come to our house to cook it for you and mom to taste."

When Yan Jiecheng returned home, Yan Bugui took the initiative to ask him what he had eaten. When Yan Jiecheng said that He Yuzhu had invited the three of them to dinner and prepared four large fishes, a large plate of noodles, and tofu, bean sprouts, and celery as side dishes, Yan Bugui told Yan Jiecheng to make friends with He Yuzhu in the future. After all, making friends with such a generous person who invited people to dinner would definitely not be a disadvantage, and would definitely give you a lot of advantages.

After Liu Guangqi returned home, Liu Haizhong asked him what He Yuzhu had treated him to dinner. After Liu Guangqi finished speaking, Liu Haizhong could not help but sigh that his boss looked like he was going to be an official. At such a young age, people took the initiative to invite him to dinner. He would definitely be a big leader when he grew up.

After the three people left, He Yuzhu began to clean up the table. He looked at He Yushui who was sitting next to him and said, "Yushui, do you like the fish today? Are you full today?"

He Yushui looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, Yushui is full. Today's fish is very delicious. Yushui likes it very much. Can we eat this fish often in the future?"

"Okay, Yushui likes it, I'll cook it for you often." He Yuzhu said to Yushui with a smile. He Yuzhu decided to try to win over Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangqi. Although Liu Guangqi might move out of the courtyard according to his future fate, at least he could unite with them before he moved out. As long as these three people were won over and became his younger brothers, then whether the No. 95 courtyard would be in chaos or not would be up to him, He Yuzhu.
