When He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, Master Lei had already left. The sewer pipes in the yard had been buried and restored to their original state, and the renovation of the house had also begun. He looked around the room and found no problems, so he went back to Xu Damao's room.

The next morning, He Yuzhu was awakened by the noise of people in the yard. He got up and tidied himself up. It was past eight o'clock. He cleaned himself up and pushed his bicycle to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley. He ordered a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks. He really couldn't get used to the soy milk.

He Yuzhu was eating breakfast while chatting with the breakfast vendor, "Uncle Li, I've been eating breakfast for so many years, but yours is still the best. The fried dough sticks are the best, and I can never get enough of them."

"If you like it, come often. My cooking skills can never compare with yours. You are a famous chef in Nanluoguxiang." said the breakfast shop owner.

"You are wrong. You are definitely not as good as me when it comes to frying, stir-frying and deep-frying, but I can't compare to you when it comes to making fried dough sticks and tofu pudding. Let's practice a set of skills each, and we can learn from each other when we have time in the future." He Yuzhu said to the breakfast stall owner.

"Well, then I'll learn from you when I have time, and it will also broaden my horizons," the breakfast stall owner said politely.

"You are too polite. Let's learn from each other. Breakfast is over. I am going to work. You go ahead and do your work. Bye," said He Yuzhu.

"Okay, take care and come often when you have time," the owner of the breakfast stall greeted He Yuzhu.

Came to the kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

He Yuzhu continued his daily work and walked around the kitchen first to check the work hygiene in the kitchen. Everyone cleaned up carefully to make sure there were no dead corners. He then went to the other two canteens to check the work.

After returning to the canteen, he asked Ma Hua to bring a few potatoes and practice his knife skills for him to check whether Ma Hua's cooking skills had improved.

At about 9:30 in the morning, the kitchen began to get busy with steaming buns, steamed corn bread, washing and cutting vegetables. It was a busy scene.

Director Li suddenly brought a young man to him and said, "Zhu Zi, this is my cousin's grandson, Gao Jianshe, who is 18 years old this year. He graduated from high school but didn't get into college. He wants to find a job in our factory and asked me to arrange it for him. I thought of you. How about you take him as an apprentice?"

He Yuzhu looked at the young man in front of him. He was very strong and seemed to be well-nourished. He looked very honest. He also remembered that he had just asked Li Huaide to arrange a job for his sister. He couldn't refuse to accept him. So he said, "Okay, since you have said so, I will accept him. But I will discipline him while I teach him, and you can't say anything."

"Don't worry, Zhuzi. I understand the rules of apprenticeship and will never interfere. What I'm learning from you is a skill that can be passed down. If he doesn't listen, you can beat him up. I will never stop you," Li Huaide said immediately.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and become my disciple," Li Huaide scolded the young man in front of him.

Ma Hua, who was cutting vegetables at the side, handed over the tea. Gao Jianshe took it and knelt down to kowtow to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu hurriedly stopped him and said, “Now we are new people and have a new atmosphere, just bow.”

Gao Jianshe bent down and raised the tea above his head, "Master, please have some tea."

He Yuzhu took the tea and took a sip, which meant he was accepted as his disciple.

"You must study hard. Master He's craftsmanship is only 40% to 90%, and few people can compare with him. If you are lazy, you will regret it for the rest of your life," Li Huaide instructed Gao Jianshe.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will learn well from the master and will not embarrass you," Gao Jianshe promised.

"Okay, just learn from Master He from now on. I'm leaving now," Li Huaide said and left the kitchen.

He Yuzhu led Gao Jianshe to the kitchen and said to everyone, "Everyone, this is my new apprentice. Please take good care of him in the kitchen in the future."

After everyone greeted each other, they called Ma Hua over and said, "This is your senior brother Ma Hua. From now on, you should follow him to master the basic skills first, and then we can talk about other things."

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely learn well from you," Gao Jianshe solemnly called Ma Hua "brother".

"Master, please rest assured that I will teach you well," Ma Hua also promised.

"You can rest assured, Jianshe. You can ask your senior brother. I don't have the rule of two years of apprenticeship and three years of service like other masters. As long as you get my approval, I can teach you the skills. You can learn well from your senior brother," He Yuzhu said to Gao Jianshe.

Gao Jianshe was very excited when he heard this. It was his honor to meet such a master, so he nodded in agreement immediately.

"Okay, you two brothers go and get busy." After sending them away, He Yuzhu did not go to the office and continued to sit in his special chair, drinking tea.

He Yuzhu thought, "I have another apprentice. I will observe their character for a while. If they are acceptable, I will teach them seriously. Once I have taught them well, I will be completely liberated."

I spent another day in the kitchen. When it was almost time to get off work, I said goodbye to the canteen and left early, riding my bike and taking my lunch box back to the courtyard.

I returned to the courtyard and took a look at the decoration of the house. I came back early today and the masters were still busy. "Master Lei, is there anything going on today?"

Lei Bin said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that a neighbor from your Intermediate Courtyard said he has a good relationship with you and wanted to take a few boards back to sit on the bench, but I stopped him."

"They have a good relationship with me. Which one are you talking about?" He Yuzhu asked.

"It should be your neighbor who lives in the west wing, an old lady who speaks in a rather harsh way," said Master Lei to He Yuzhu.

Listening to Lei Bin's description, He Yuzhu already knew which company it was.

"Don't worry, I will go and settle the score with her later. She has been quiet for a while and now she is looking for trouble again," He Yuzhu said angrily.

Master Lei stopped He Yuzhu and said, "Master He, this is not a big deal. Besides, the old men and women in the front yard of your yard helped to persuade them, so there was no big conflict. If you have a conflict with them now, it will definitely delay your decoration work. I advise you that if nothing happens to you in the next two days, if you have anything to do, wait until the decoration is completed. After all, we have encountered this situation when we were decorating houses in other places."

He Yuzhu listened to Master Lei's words and didn't know what to say.

"Well, Master Lei, if you have suffered any injustice, just tell me and I will definitely not treat you unfairly," He Yuzhou said to Lei Bin.

"When you get off work tonight, please don't leave. I'll treat you and a few other masters to a drink," He Yuzhu said to Lei Bin.

"Master He, no need. You are too polite. You have already paid for my meal. It would be inappropriate for me to eat your food," Lei Bin refused.

"A meal is nothing to me. Let's just treat it as making friends. You won't be insolent, will you?" He Yuzhu advised.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lei Bin had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Let's come and try the cooking skills of the famous Chef He," Lei Bin complimented.

"Master Lei, thank you for your praise," He Yuzhu bowed politely and went to the backyard to work.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he used the system to prepare a table of food and wine in Xu Damao's house, and asked He Yushui, who had just returned from get off work, to ask the third uncle in the front yard to come and keep him company. Then he let Yushui eat first, and after eating, he hurried to his classmate's house to avoid any insecurity on the road. After that, He Yuzhu waited for Master Lei and others to finish their work, and then they had a simple meal together.
