Siheyuan: He Yuzhu is a man who dotes on his sister!

Power outages seem to be commonplace for people of this era. The most common people on the street are selling watermelons. A man rides a bicycle with a foam box full of popsicles, covered with a quilt, and shouts all over the street.

He Yuzhu bought two and gave one to Qin Jingru, then found a random restaurant and had two cold dishes and two bowls of noodles.

I was sweating all over after eating and had to take a shower when I got home.

"Jingru, do you have any money on you now?" He Yuzhu planned to let Qin Jingru move out of the west wing and live with Qin Huairu, so as to avoid her learning bad things.

Qin Jingru thought He Yuzhu needed money, so she took out the only 60 yuan she had left and said, "Brother Zhuzi, this is all the money I have left. If you need it, take it."

He Yuzhu thought of the clothes Qin Jingru had bought for him and Yu Shui, the clothes she was wearing, her parents' clothes, and the food that didn't cost much. Even the snacks they ate every day didn't cost much. Only the clothes were really expensive, especially since there weren't many cloth coupons, so the price was even more expensive.

"You keep the money."

"Let me ask you something."

"You live in Qin Huairu's house. Does she ask you for rent?"

Qin Jingru nodded and said, "Yes, it's three dollars a month. Some time ago, Qin Huairu borrowed twenty dollars from me, saying it was for rent."

Twenty yuan is equivalent to about seven months' rent, which means she can live there until next year. According to Qin Huairu's thinking, even if they are cousins, Qin Jingru will not give it to her if she wants to cancel the lease.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to give up.

After the two finished their meal, He Yuzhu packed a bowl of noodles for Yu Shui to take back. Yu Shui had already fallen asleep, so He Yuzhu put the noodles on the table and went back to the house to rest.

Before He Yuzhu fell asleep, someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Director He, is Director He back?"

He Yuzhu got up from the ground and opened the door: "Secretary Li, what's wrong?"

Xiao Li smiled and took out a red envelope and a cigarette from his bag, which stunned He Yuzhu.

"You're married, aren't you? Why are you getting divorced and finding another one?"

"No, you were away a few days ago. Director Li asked me to find you to host a banquet at his house. It's not a wedding banquet, nor a birthday banquet, but a promotion banquet. Director Yang stepped down two days ago. Although Director Li is still the director, he is also the head of the steel mill, so Director Li invited you to come over, cook, and have a drink with the other directors."

"Since Director He is back, please come with me. Director Li can't wait to start the banquet."

He Yuzhu looked at Xiao Li very seriously. Director Yang fell to the ground and it was inevitable. Although Director Li was not as capable as Director Yang, he had a strong backstage. It was awesome to have a strong backstage.

"Let's go."

Following Xiao Li, we left the courtyard in a car and arrived at a residential area, which was filled with small Western-style buildings of considerable size.

Walking into Director Li's small Western-style building, since He Yuzhu was not at home before, there are only Director Li, his wife, daughter, nanny and a few others in Director Li's house now, and no other directors have come.

"Director, Director He is here."

Director Li and his family of three came out immediately into the living room. Ever since He Yuzhu cooked a meal at Director Li’s father-in-law’s house, his wife and daughter had been looking forward to seeing He Yuzhu cooking a meal.

Director Li's daughter, Li Zixuan, looks nothing like Director Li. If it weren't for the fact that her eyes look a bit like her mother's, He Yuzhu would have suspected that Director Li's daughter was adopted.

Li Zixuan frowned when she saw He Yuzhu again. His skin used to be a little dark, but now it is not only whiter, but he also looks much younger.

Li Zixuan's appearance is not as good as Qin Jingru and Li Yaxuan. She is above average, and prettier than Yu Shui and Huang Nan.

Now that Director Li has become the head of the steel rolling mill, he was so excited that he stretched out his hand to shake hands with He Yuzhu for the first time.

"Director He, I don't know when you will be back. Can you please make a menu for me and I will ask someone to buy it right away?"

In addition to Director Li, the steel rolling mill has two directors, six deputy directors, eight section chiefs, a dozen workshop directors, and three canteen directors. Not to mention the team leaders, it is estimated that none of them can attend.

There will be four tables for all these people, not including those who come to congratulate Director Li, so there will be about eight tables in total.

"alright."

"With great ability comes greater responsibility. I would like to congratulate Director Li first."

Director Li had never thought that He Yuzhu would congratulate him. Since he had said so, Director Li couldn't be impolite, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome."

"By the way, Director Li, how many tables do you plan to prepare?"

Director Li had already thought about it. The people from the steel mill, the people above, said, "About eight tables. In order to prevent more people from coming, Director He, can you prepare nine tables?"

He Yuzhu looked at the time. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon and it would take an hour to buy the ingredients. In order to speed up, He Yuzhu immediately asked someone to take out a piece of tissue and write down the ingredients needed.

"Director He, I'm happy today. Show us your special skills and don't worry about the money." Director Li is now in a very good position.

"Okay, let's see if the ingredients I need are available in Sijiu City."

Director Li laughed and said, "Director He, as long as you follow me in the future, I can get it for you no matter it is domestic or foreign, as long as it is not outside this planet."

He Yuzhu smiled without saying anything, changed some ingredients on the note, and handed it to Xiao Li.

Some of the ingredients above are from foreign countries. Xiao Li can read but he doesn’t know the food.

"Director He, what do these look like? I have never seen them before!"

"I don't care about that. I just do it and write it!"

He Yuzhu followed Director Li to the living room with his hands behind his back to rest. Xiao Li's head felt like it was exploding. Time was of the essence, Xiao Li didn't care about anything else, and immediately took people to buy food. Xiao Li went to almost every local shopping mall or some big hotel.

In about forty minutes, all the vegetables were ready.

Director Li asked several servants to follow He Yuzhu's orders, some washing vegetables, some cutting vegetables, and they worked in an orderly manner.

Xiao Li couldn't rest after buying the ingredients. There was a power outage and he couldn't use the phone to notify people. Xiao Li had to drive to notify the deputy director of the steel mill, the workshop director and others.

In the kitchen, Director Li's chef also obeyed He Yuzhu's orders and did almost everything he was told to do. He Yuzhu used all three large pots, one for frying, and the other two, one for steaming and one for stir-frying.

"Master Liu, remember, fry the shrimp hard and make it into a ball before putting it in there."

"it is good!"

"Master Liu, fry the chicken until it's tender, not too overcooked."

"Row!"

"Master Liu, take out the beans in twenty seconds."

"middle!"

"Master Liu, put these in the steamer and remember to steam for half an hour."

"clear."

Three stoves were operated at the same time, and the whole kitchen was like a flaming mountain. He Yuzhu and the people who helped had sweat running down their cheeks and dripping onto the stoves.

He Yuzhu was wiping his sweat with a towel while cooking. Each dish needed to be prepared in nine portions, which required both skill and strength. His clothes were almost soaked through and it was very uncomfortable to wear them. Later, He Yuzhu simply took off his clothes.

As a chef, He Yuzhu doesn't care whether he got along with Director Li in the past. Now He Yuzhu just wants to cook the dishes well and serve all nine tables.
