Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"Young man, do you know? Director He is the junior apprentice of Wang Yiyun, the chef of Fengzeyuan State Banquet..."

"Director He is a chef at a state banquet. Even Vice President Chen praised his dishes highly. Do you know who Vice President Chen is?"

"I'm not exaggerating, but whoever can become Master He's disciple will have a bright future!"

"How do I become your disciple? I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. I heard Director He wants to take in a few disciples recently..."

"You ask me who I am? To be honest, I am the disciple of the headmaster..."

Ma Hua came to the kitchen and then moved around among the young chefs, promoting the event as much as he could!

At this time, some smart friends had already silently stepped back and quietly went to the office.

Unexpectedly, I saw someone walk in first...

"Silly... Director He, how are you?"

A young man in his twenties walked into He Yuzhu's office and said hello.

He Yuzhu? ?

Who is this person?

It looks familiar, but I can't remember where!

"Who are you? Have we met before?"

He said this and silently thought to himself,

"Check the attributes of the person in front of you!"

"Name: Lu Xian; Current cooking skill: 85; Cooking skill limit: 90; Loyalty: 20 (disgust)"

He Yuzhu...

Another little black guy?!

"Director He, you are such a forgetful person!"

"Have you forgotten that you came to Hongbinlou in Tianjin more than ten years ago and begged my father to teach you cooking?"

Lu Xian's face suddenly fell and he reminded him in a cold voice.

He never expected that the boy who was pushed away by him is doing so well now!

Director!

I dare not even think about it!

Studying skills at Hongbinlou?

He Yuzhu's thoughts instantly went back to more than ten years ago...

After He Daqing took me away from Fengze Garden, he arranged for me to learn halal cuisine from an acquaintance at Hongbinlou in Tianjin.

And that acquaintance was Lu Xian’s father, Lu Zhuo!

Lu Zhuo is an expert cook and he is the head chef of Hongbinlou, a pillar of the family.

I learned a lot of cooking skills from him.

Why did you leave Hongbinlou later?

One was that he was worried that his sister Yu Shui would be left unattended, and the other was because of Master Lu’s son Lu Xian!

Master Lu had high expectations for his son Lu Xian and especially wanted him to inherit his legacy.

But as fate would have it, his son did not inherit his talent for cooking.

Even if my son works hard to learn cooking, he is only at the level of a third or fourth cook in Hongbinlou.

So he turned his attention to He Yuzhu who came to learn skills.

When she discovered that he had a great talent for cooking, even better than herself... she took great care of him and taught him everything she knew.

This made Lu Xian jealous and resentful!

From speaking harshly to He Yuzhu at the beginning, to tripping him up and playing dirty tricks later...

He Yuzhu felt that he was the master's apprentice and could not bear to retaliate, so he simply left!

Later, when he heard that Hongbinlou had moved to Sijiu City, he went to the store to visit Master Lu.

But I was told that Master Lu passed away due to illness a year ago...

Lu Xian did not come to the old city with them, but stayed in a hotel in Tianjin to work.

I didn’t expect to meet you here!

……

"Mr. Lu? I remember you were only thirteen when we last met. I didn't expect you to be so tall now!"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"Yeah! You came to learn cooking from my father before, you were only sixteen years old, right?"

"It's only a three-year age difference! You are three years older than me, so you must learn faster than me. That's why my father was deceived and accepted you as his disciple!"

Lu Xian had a melancholy and unwilling look on his face!

If his father puts all his effort into teaching his son, then he can also become the head chef of Hongbin Tower!

"Forehead……"

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that this kid still didn't know himself well.

With your cooking skill capped at 90 points, you'll never reach top level no matter how much you practice!

"Director He, I heard that you want to take in a disciple?"

"What do you think of me? Am I qualified to be your apprentice?"

Lu Xian forced himself to suppress his anger and asked sinisterly.

"Mr. Lu, who told you that I want to take in a disciple? That's not true!"

He Yuzhu wanted to refuse directly and let him go.

But for the sake of my master, I will find an excuse to give him a way out.

"Humph! I don't think you dare to accept me as your disciple!"

"From my father's perspective, I am your senior brother!"

"Director He, for the sake of your master, my father, please let me be the person in charge of the kitchen at Jinmen Restaurant!"

"Wait for me to work for a year or so, then promote me to be the store manager of the branch!"

"This way you can be considered to have repaid my father for teaching you cooking."

In fact, he had never considered He Yuzhu as his junior fellow apprentice before!

Now the situation is stronger than the person, so I will just acknowledge him as my junior brother... for a few days!

He Yuzhu...

He hasn't been so speechless like today for a long time!

Where did he get the courage to ask me for a position?

"Um...Mr. Lu, who told you that you can work at the Tianjin branch?"

"You young chefs are just here to observe and learn. When you return to Tianjin, you will need to be assessed by the local Commerce Bureau."

He Yuzhu's words were just short of having the word "rejection" written on his face.

But at least I saved his face!

"Silly Zhu! What do you mean? Are you trying to play this on me?"

"I just want to ask you one thing, can I be the person in charge of the kitchen?!"

"Think about it carefully. My father treats you well!"

Lu Xian obviously didn't appreciate it and asked angrily.

"Mr. Lu, your father treated me well. What does this have to do with you?"

"Have you forgotten how you treated me in the past? Forget about such trivial matters as scolding me!"

"You saw that I learned the recipe quickly, so you secretly changed the dosage of each seasoning in the recipe... which caused Master Lu to scold me severely!"

"You saw me cooking before you, and you secretly mixed the seasonings on my stove, causing the dish to turn out a mess...Master Lu beat me so hard that his stick almost broke!"

"You think I'm getting in your way, so you secretly put laxatives in my food..."

"You treat me like this, and you still want me to be grateful to you?"

"Alright! My patience has worn off, get out of this office right now! Get out of the cafeteria!"

He Yuzhu could no longer restrain himself. After telling him all his previous misdeeds, he ordered him to get out!

"Silly Zhu! How dare you ask me to get out? Have you forgotten how my father taught you cooking?"

"You are such an ungrateful little man!"

"I, I'm going to sue you at the Tianjin Commercial Bureau!"

"I will prevent you from opening a branch store!"

Lu Xian broke down his defense on the spot and shouted at him.

He Yuzhu didn't indulge Lu Xian. He walked out of the office and called Lao Zhao and Zhang Shan. He pointed at him and said seriously:

"Old Zhao, show Comrade Zhang Shan how we treat troublesome 'customers'!"

"From today on, don't let this person show up in the cafeteria!"

"Yes! Director He!"

After receiving the order, Lao Zhao decisively took two people to hold down Lu Xian!

"Silly Zhu, how dare you... woooo~"

Lu Xian wanted to say something harsh, but Zhang Shan took out a piece of rag to cover his mouth!

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, you know what I'm talking about~"

Old Zhao gave a thumbs up and praised.
