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

The driver was driving the car, and Director Chen and He Yuzhu were sitting in the back. The enthusiastic Director Chen was talking to He Yuzhu and asked He Yuzhu why he did this. Wasn't he afraid of losing his future?

He Yuzhu said slowly: "Director Chen, if you were me, would you fight against unfair treatment for your employees?"

Director Chen smiled as usual. He said, "Yes, I will. I am not the director of a textile factory. Even if I am a team leader, I will work hard for the welfare of my subordinates. Even if the result is not satisfactory, at least I have done it and I will not regret it."

Director Chen handed He Yuzhu a cigarette and said a famous saying: "Behind the smile is a crying face, behind the interests is a human figure. You fight against injustice for your employees, which proves that you are a good person and a good leader."

He stopped smiling when he said this, and then he sighed heavily and said, "Although this is a new society and a new country, fundamentally, in the eyes of some people, interests are the most important, and you have no way to change them."

At this moment, the driver suddenly interrupted and said, "Master Xiao He, Director Chen did the same thing as you did, except..."

"Shut up and keep driving."

It was obvious that Director Chen did not want the driver to say too much, because he knew one thing: no matter what era, people without background, even if you hold a high position, are just a pawn, a pawn with interests. When you have no interests, you will be abandoned by others.

If you want to succeed, you must be strong yourself!

He Yuzhu knew very well that Director Chen had a story, but he was unwilling to share it. He Yuzhu also tactfully asked his mother about her food taboos, what she didn't eat, and what dishes she liked to eat. He Yuzhu could also prepare some dishes.

Whenever Director Chen talked about his mother, his eyes lit up.

"My mother is from Central Plains, but I wonder if Master He can make an authentic Central Plains meal!"

He Yuzhu said it was no problem, because in the 21st century, he was also a proud Central Court native. Although he learned Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and other cuisines, as a Central Plains person, he also learned from chefs from the Central Court online and in real life.

"It will be fine. Don't worry. The old lady will definitely be satisfied."

He Yuzhu is quite confident. As a cook, he is a very confident cook.

As the car stopped at a residential compound, a red five-pointed star was very eye-catching. The yard was very clean and tidy. At the same time, hearty laughter could be heard in the house.

"mother!"

"I am back."

Director Chen shouted loudly, with great energy.

A voice came from the house: "My fat son is back. It's cold outside. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."

The door was opened by a man in military uniform, with sharp eyes and a righteous air mixed with a hint of murderous intent. It was obvious that this man was a soldier from a battlefield.

"Dad, you're back!"

This person is none other than Director Chen’s son, Chen Jiefang.

"Master Xiao He, let me introduce you to Chen Jiefang, my son."

"Son, Master Xiao He, I specially invited him to prepare a birthday banquet for your grandma."

Chen Jiefang walked forward with a smile and shook hands with He Yuzhu.

"Hello, thank you for your hard work."

"fine."

"Dad, grandma is entertaining guests in the room, please go in quickly." Chen Jiefang said with a smile.

He Yuzhu followed Director Chen and his son into the living room. There were many people wearing Zhongshan suits inside. He Yuzhu pointed at a few people he knew, all of whom were leaders above him. He Yuzhu also noticed an old man with silver hair and a bright smile in the crowd.

The child follows the mother's image.

Director Chen likes to laugh, probably because he inherited it from his mother.

"Director Chen."

"Good leadership."

"Director Chen."

"Good leadership."

Director Chen is always very humble when facing older leaders or leaders younger than him.

Such sounds were almost all that filled He Yuzhu's ears, and soon a voice broke the scene.

"Isn't this Director He from the steel mill?"

Several leaders who had been to the steel rolling mill recognized He Yuzhu and praised his cooking skills in front of the old lady.

He even claimed that today's birthday banquet was comparable to a state banquet!

The old lady had a smile on her face, giving people a kind and friendly feeling, just like your grandmother, looking at her grandson.

With so many leaders coming to celebrate her birthday, He Yuzhu thought that the old lady in front of him must be of great importance.

"You must be Master Xiao He, right? I've heard a lot of people talk about you. Your cooking is as good as a state banquet. It seems like I'm in for a treat today."

The old lady smiled brightly, like a smiling Maitreya Buddha.

He Yuzhu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Grandma, please call me Xiao He. I heard from Director Chen that you are from the Intermediate Court!"

"Yes, I'm from Shendu."

"Xiao He, today is my birthday. Can I ask you to cook a Central Plains delicacy?"

The old lady was at the top of society, but she was so humble as to ask He Yuzhu to prepare Central Plains cuisine.

(He Jian 21 years + He Yuzhu 28 years) In the past forty-nine years, it is rare to see a group of people in high positions or high status treat an ordinary person at the bottom of society like this.

"No problem, don't worry."

He Yuzhu was then taken to the kitchen by Chen Jiefang, where a wide variety of ingredients filled the entire kitchen.

"Master Xiao He, if you need anything, please tell me." Chen Jiefang kept smiling.

"Okay, I'll start making it right away."

Not too sweet, not too salty, not too spicy, not too sour, all the flavors are in the middle.

He Yuzhu mastered the trick and started to make it. First, He Yuzhu kneaded the dough and put it aside, and made other dishes, such as big carp from the Yellow River, braised pork belly, fried crispy meat, and baked carp noodles. It was a pity that time did not permit, otherwise He Yuzhu could also make Bianjing roast duck.

Henan cuisine always starts with cold dishes. He Yuzhu used limited ingredients to prepare five cold dishes, all of which had the distinctive flavor of his hometown.

The kitchen is bustling with activity, while outside there are sounds of laughter and praise.

The old lady, as the birthday girl, was the first to taste the dish, which was full of hometown flavor. A chef from the old city, who worked in a factory, made such authentic Henan cuisine.

The old lady was all smiles and praised He Yuzhu generously. When the big carp from the Yellow River and the baked carp noodles were served, their unique aroma tempted the taste buds of everyone present.

With each dish, everyone’s understanding of He Yuzhu was refreshed.

They are a group of people who do not have to worry about food every day and have no worries about food and clothing. When faced with the delicious food prepared by He Yuzhu on the table, they all praised it without exaggeration.

He Yuzhu not only prepared an enviable birthday banquet, but also prepared mutton noodles and spicy soup for the old lady.

When these two dishes were served, everyone except the old lady with tears in her eyes was amazed.

The old-fashioned stewed noodles have a strong flavor, and a sip of the spicy and hot soup makes the whole body feel comfortable, even making the old lady sweat.

When Director Chen saw his old mother, he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.

This is the taste of hometown, the unique taste, the superb craftsmanship. Maybe in the old lady’s heart, the taste of home will always be the taste of mother, the taste of home!
