Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Chapter 530: Preparing for the Dinner 2 He Yuzhu quickly stopped Nan Yi who was walking out in a hurry, and shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, Nan Yi, don't rush to other canteens. I have something to tell you. What kind of seasonings are needed for cooking mutton soup? What kind of seasonings have been prepared in the canteen now?"

Hearing the call, Nan Yi hurriedly stopped, turned around, scratched his head with his hand, and replied thoughtfully: "Hmm... Let me think about it, there is ginger and pepper in the cafeteria, but I don't know what other seasonings you want?"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and then waved his hand with a carefree smile, saying, "Haha, these are enough! Okay, then you can get busy first. Oh, by the way, let me ask you one more question, do you have a knife that is specially used for cutting meat? When the mutton arrives later, we have to cut it up properly."

Nan Yi shook his head and told the truth: "No, we only have an ordinary kitchen knife that we usually use to cut vegetables. Can you see if you can use it?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's use this first. It's better than nothing. Hurry and bring me one!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to find it for you." After saying that, Nan Yi quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, Nan Yi came out of the kitchen holding a kitchen knife in one hand. He walked in front of He Yuzhu and carefully handed the handle of the kitchen knife to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the kitchen knife from Nan Yi's hand, first holding it in his hand to examine it, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he praised: "Well, not bad, not bad, this kitchen knife looks of good quality. However, the blade may not be sharp enough, and it needs to be polished a little. You should have a whetstone here, right?"

"Yes." Nan Yi hurriedly turned around and ran to the dark corner behind him, bending over to search. After a while, he stood up with a look of joy on his face, carefully holding a slightly old grindstone in his hands, walked quickly to He Yuzhu, and handed it over respectfully.

"Okay, go and do your thing! I can cut up the sheep myself later." He Yuzhu took the whetstone and grabbed the kitchen knife that was shining coldly on the chopping board beside him, and walked towards a quiet corner. When he got there, he first squatted down and placed the whetstone firmly on the ground, then held the handle with his left hand and pressed his right hand on the blade, and began to sharpen the knife carefully and skillfully. Only a crisp friction sound was heard, as if an exciting symphony was echoing in the air.

Time passed by minute by minute, He Yuzhu was concentrating on sharpening the kitchen knife in his hand, and beads of sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead, but he had no intention of stopping to rest. Finally, after a long time, he stopped his movements, put down the whetstone, stretched out his thumb and gently pressed it against the blade, feeling the sharpness of the kitchen knife. He squinted his eyes slightly, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded gently.

Then, He Yuzhu stood up, holding a kitchen knife, and walked out of the canteen at a brisk pace. He came to a relatively cool place and stood there, staring at the road ahead, quietly waiting for the arrival of the security team's vehicle transporting the yellow sheep.

When He Yuzhu left, the cafeteria suddenly became lively. People cast their eyes on Nan Yi, who was busy at the stove, with a playful smile on their faces. One of them couldn't help but teased, "Hey, Chef Nan, Deputy Factory Director He just asked you why you haven't returned to Sijiu City yet, why don't you tell him the real reason?"

Hearing this, Nan Yi's face instantly turned red, but he still pretended to be calm and said stubbornly: "Humph, what's the real reason! I'm just worried that you guys' cooking skills are not good enough. What if something goes wrong when cooking? That's why I want to stay here for a while and supervise and guide you!"

However, his explanation did not convince everyone, but instead attracted more laughter and discussion. Another person smiled and said, "Oh, Chef Nan is really 'great'! But I seem to remember someone said before that he was reluctant to leave because of the beautiful female doctor in our medical team and wanted to go back to the city with her, so he kept delaying! Is that right?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole cafeteria immediately burst into laughter. Everyone laughed so hard that they fell backwards and some even bent over with laughter. Facing such a situation, Nan Yi felt his face getting hotter and hotter, as if it was about to burn. He lowered his head helplessly, holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, and increased the speed of cutting vegetables, as if only in this way could he hide his inner embarrassment and embarrassment.

About five minutes later, a large truck loaded with yellow sheep slowly approached the canteen entrance. With a sharp brake sound, the car stopped steadily.

At this time, the security captain quickly opened the door, jumped off the truck nimbly, and walked straight to where He Yuzhu was. When he came to He Yuzhu, he saluted first, then said with a smile: "Deputy Director He, all the yellow sheep you shot have been safely transported back. Please tell me what to do with these yellow sheep next?"

"First, arrange for the security team to unload these sheep from the car. After unloading, go find some strong wooden sticks. We have to build a sturdy rack to hang these sheep one by one so that I can start skinning them." He Yuzhu directed in an orderly manner.

"I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away!" The captain of the security team responded loudly, and then turned around and walked towards the team members with big strides. Soon, the security team began to take action. Some people climbed onto the truck nimbly and carefully unloaded the yellow sheep from the truck to the ground; others hurried to the warehouse to find suitable thick wooden sticks to build the rack for hanging the yellow sheep.

After a busy period, all the work has been preliminarily completed. The captain of the security team wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked quickly to He Yuzhu and reported: "Deputy Director He, everything has been prepared according to your instructions. But... what are the names of these sheep? I think they are very different from the goats and sheep I know every day!"

He Yuzhu smiled and patiently explained, "These are probably wild yellow sheep. These sheep usually live in the wild, so they are stronger and fatter than those raised at home. You see, basically each sheep weighs more than 100 kilograms!"

After hearing this, the captain of the security team couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in amazement: "So that's why it looks so strong. The meat of the yellow sheep must be extremely delicious, right?" As he spoke, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"I don't know what the meat tastes like, after all, I haven't eaten it before. I'll know how it tastes after I eat it tonight. By the way, have your people bring over 35 iron pots prepared by the Second Farm cafeteria. We'll use these pots to soak up the blood from the mutton."

Under the command of He Yuzhu, the teammates of the security team performed various auxiliary tasks efficiently. With a kitchen knife in his hand, he peeled off the skin of a yellow sheep in less than 5 minutes and took out the intestines from the sheep's stomach.

The security team member standing nearby watched as the kitchen knife flew up and down in He Yuzhu's hand. In a short while, he skinned a fat yellow sheep. He couldn't help but touch the captain of the security team beside him and said, "Captain, Deputy Director He's skill in skinning sheep is too fast! The idiom "Pao Ding butchering an ox" should be describing the situation of Deputy Director He!"

"Maybe!"

After skinning a yellow sheep, He Yuzhu straightened up, wiped the sweat off his head with his arm, and said to the captain of the security team beside him: "Take this one away and throw it into the iron pot. Fill the iron pot with water and soak the blood of this sheep first. I will skin all the other yellow sheep later and then cut them up in the same way."

"Deputy Director He, your skill in skinning a yellow sheep is really amazing. It feels like you have skinned a whole yellow sheep in just a short while. You are really like a butcher cutting up an ox!"

"Okay, stop flattering me and get to work! There are still a lot of sheep fields and sheep stomachs to wash later!" He Yuzhu smiled slightly, indicating that these were all basic operations.

In this way, He Yuzhu finally skinned all 35 yellow sheep before lunch. While he was skinning the sheep, a group of kitchen helpers from the canteen came to help after finishing their work in the canteen. In order to improve the efficiency of cleaning the sheep stomachs and intestines, He Yuzhu directly asked them to take the sheep stomachs and intestines to the Santun River west of the farm for cleaning.
