Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out, "Master's wife, who did you say was blessed just now?" He Yuzhu walked quickly over with a smile on his face, asking with a smile as he walked.

When Liu E heard the familiar voice, a surprised smile instantly broke out on her face. She hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes full of joy and kindness.

"Oh, Zhuzi, why are you here so early?" Liu E stood up excitedly and went to greet He Yuzhu.

When He Yuzhu came closer, Liu E's eyes involuntarily passed him and looked behind him. However, when she found that He Yuzhu came alone, she was slightly startled, and then hurriedly asked with concern: "Zhuzi, where are your wife and children? Why didn't they come with you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and scratched his head, explaining: "Master's wife, I came here alone first, and they are still at home. When it is almost noon, they will come here in a rickshaw."

"I was thinking that my senior brother might not be able to handle it all by himself, so I wanted to come over earlier to lend a hand and help out. By the way, Master's Wife, who were you talking about as having the best fortune just now?"

After hearing this, Liu E nodded in sudden enlightenment, and then replied with a smile: "I said your father He Daqing is so lucky! Look at your family. Now you have become a senior official, and your sister has successfully entered the university. Your father's blessing is really unmatched!"

He Yuzhu laughed loudly upon hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Master's Wife, if we talk about good fortune, you and Master are not bad! In addition to me and Brother Yi, you two have trained two of us state cadres!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's words with a bewildered look on her face, Liu E blinked her eyes, stared at him with a puzzled look and asked, "Two? Only the second child in my family has become a cadre? How could there be another one?"

He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mischievous smile, and quickly explained: "Master's wife, have you forgotten? The other one is me! I grew up in your home since I was a child. This can be regarded as the result of your careful training, right? By the way, Master's wife, where is my senior brother now?"

Liu E smiled slightly, pointed to the kitchen, and said softly: "Look, your senior brother is busy in the kitchen with your junior brother!"

At this moment, Wu Baotian's loud voice suddenly rang out from inside the room: "Zhu Zi, you're here! Come in and talk to me."

Hearing the voice, He Yuzhu's face immediately broke into a bright smile. He turned to look at Liu E and his sister-in-law and brother's wife beside him, and said apologetically: "Master's wife, sister-in-law, brother's wife, I'm sorry, you guys are busy first! I have to go into the house first to chat with Master, and then I will come out to help you kill the chicken." Before he finished speaking, he was seen walking hurriedly into the house with a bag of tea in his hand.

As soon as he entered the room, He Yuzhu handed the tea to Wu Baotian with a big smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Master, this is the new tea I brought for you. It tastes really good. You must taste it slowly!"

Wu Baotian took the tea leaves, his eyes flashing with joy, and then he looked up at He Yuzhu and asked curiously, "Zhuzi, didn't we agree that your senior brother will be in charge of the banquet at noon today? Why are you here so early?"

"I'm just afraid that you can't handle it alone. You see, I don't have anything to do at home anyway, so I thought of coming over early to help. And in this way, I can take this opportunity to cook some delicious dishes myself and honor you, my master!" He Yuzhu responded with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Wu Baotian's eyes revealed joy and satisfaction, and he nodded repeatedly to express his approval: "Haha, you are such a filial child! You are always thinking about me, your teacher. If your brother could have half of your ability, I wouldn't have to worry about him all day long!"

He Yuzhu quickly responded with a smile: "Master, look at what you said! In fact, my senior brother's level is quite impressive, and he has long been able to take charge of his own affairs. It's just that your requirements for him are too high."

"Master, you just rest here with peace of mind. I'll go to the kitchen to see if my senior brother needs my help or something." Before he finished speaking, He Yuzhu quickly stood up and walked briskly towards the kitchen outside the house.

Coming to the kitchen, He Yuzhu looked at the two brothers who were busy working, and said with a smile: "Brother, thank you for your hard work today. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Zhu Zi, you're here! This little bit of work for lunch today is a piece of cake for the two of us brothers." Wu Youren responded with a smile while cutting vegetables.

"Okay, then I'll go over and help my mistress and sister-in-law deal with these chickens. After I'm done with the things outside, I'll come over to give you a hand. This afternoon, I plan to show off my skills and cook a couple of my specialties, so that the three of us brothers can take the opportunity to have a good exchange." He Yuzhu said as he strode into the yard.

He skillfully opened the cloth bag he brought with him and took out various cooking tools, including a sharp kitchen knife, a white apron, etc. Then, he tied a clean apron around his waist, and then, holding the kitchen knife, he walked straight towards the chicken coop.

When they got to the chicken coop, He Yuzhu turned to Zhang Xiaoqiao and shouted, "Sister-in-law, could you please pass me one of those empty bowls over there? I need to use it to catch the chicken blood."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiao quickly responded, "Okay!" Then he quickly picked up the empty bowl beside him and handed it to He Yuzhu.

At this moment, Wu Youli's wife Chu Erni, who had just witnessed He Yuzhu starting to kill a chicken, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Brother Zhuzi, I didn't expect that as a cadre, you would actually recite those formulas when killing a chicken?"

Facing Chu Erni's question, He Yuzhu smiled and replied slowly, "Haha, sister, you don't know this. I'm reciting this chicken-killing formula, just as a last wish for these chickens that are about to leave the world!" Before he finished speaking, the hen that had been bled collapsed to the ground. Then, without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed another hen and repeated the action just now.

Not long after, He Yuzhu had slaughtered all the hens neatly. Zhang Xiaoqiao, who had been waiting nearby, had already prepared a large wooden basin and a pot of boiling water, ready to be used to remove the chicken feathers.

After all the hens were properly processed, He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen with the cleaned hens in his arms. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he shouted to his busy senior brother, "Senior brother, these hens have been processed. What should we do next?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's voice, Wu Youren stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at the plump hens. After a little thought, he said, "Originally, I was thinking of braising them and making delicious roast chicken."

"But who would have thought that you actually prepared roast chicken in advance? Then let's just use these five chickens to cook two dishes. Half of them can be used to make a rich and mellow chicken soup, and the other half can be processed into a fragrant fried chicken. Oh, by the way, Zhuzi, what dishes do you plan to cook for lunch today?"

He Yuzhu skillfully arranged the ingredients and answered, "I'm thinking of making a few hard dishes, like steamed meatballs, braised pork, and twice-cooked pork. After all, the amount of pork prepared this time is quite sufficient, and my goal is to make sure everyone can be full just by eating the vegetables."

Wu Youren nodded in agreement. "Well, that's a good idea! Okay, just prepare it carefully according to your own ideas! As for the fish and chicken, just leave it to Youli and me. Youli, when your brother Zhuzi cooks later, you have to keep your eyes open and watch carefully, because his cooking skills are much better than our father's!"

As soon as the voice fell, the three people quickly plunged into the intense and orderly cooking work. The kitchen suddenly became very lively, with the sounds of cutting vegetables and cooking coming one after another, interweaving together like a cheerful symphony. As time passed, a tempting fragrance gradually spread and slowly drifted out of the kitchen...
