Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Listening to Master Sun's affirmative words, the first person that came to He Yuzhu's mind was the father and son pair of Li Shuwen and Li Etang.

Because the deeds of these two people are clearly written in the genealogy of Huo Chuan Bajiquan.

For a moment, He Yuzhu was moved, because once He Yuzhu could accept it, not only would his generation be improved, but even his master-disciple relationship would have a clearer origin.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu still shook his head and denied this statement.

"No."

The main reason is that He Yuzhu doesn’t dare.

Later on, He Yuzhu's father told He Yuzhu how his grandfather died.

As for what happened to Mr. Li Etang during that period, according to the older generation, it was exactly the same as what happened to Grandpa He Yuzhu in later generations, or even worse.

Don't say He Yuzhu is timid.

The main reason is that I have never experienced that period, so why not assume the worst?

"Well, that's right... eh? No?"

Master Sun was originally very proud, but when he heard He Yuzhu say no, he immediately lost his energy.

"Wait, Captain, Young Master, who are you talking about? Why are they father, son, and uncle?"

But Xiao Song next to him was completely confused.

"Since you have guessed it, then tell him."

Master Sun was a little bored.

"Master Sun should be referring to the father and son pair of Li Shuwen, the master of the Iron Fist, and Li He Cao Shangfei, the master of the Lightning Thunderbolt Hand, Li Etang."

He Yuzhu indifferently gave Xiao Song a brief introduction to some things about Li Shuwen and Li Etang.

Then, he deliberately explained to Master Sun.

"Although your names are well-known, unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time. When I went to Tianjin two years ago, they had either passed away or left Tianjin for the south. I didn't have the opportunity to meet them at all."

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, Master Sun nodded with relief.

"That's right. I forgot that you are only 13 years old. It's impossible for you to have had any contact with these two."

Xiao Song next to him was also aroused by what He Yuzhu said about these two people.

"Young Master, since you know these two, your teacher must also be related to them, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't know them so clearly."

This one sentence almost made He Yuzhu break out in a cold sweat again.

He regrets it now.

He had to show off his skills, and now he has to cover up one lie with another lie.

"These two were very famous in Tianjin at the time. Many martial arts practitioners knew them. Besides, although my teacher was also surnamed Li, he was already over 80 years old at the time. When I came back, I heard that the old man had passed away."

Now, He Yuzhu insisted that his teacher was gone.

He still couldn't believe what anyone could dig out.

Sure enough, after listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, Master Sun nodded.

"That's right. Tianjin is also a well-known martial arts hotspot. It's normal that everyone knows each other."

This sentence was used to define the so-called teacher mentioned by He Yuzhu. He said that they were just acquaintances and there was no other relationship between them.

Now, He Yuzhu can finally relax a little.

"Okay, stop talking about those useless things. It just so happens that my waist has been a little painful recently. Zhuzi, come and give me a few presses."

As he spoke, Master Sun kicked Xiao Song next to him, motioning him to stand up, then looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, waiting for him to take action.

He Yuzhu was also happy to change the subject, so he got the hang of it.

When He Daqing, who had coaxed He Yushui to sleep, came over, he saw a young soldier standing nearby looking at He Yuzhui enviously as he randomly pressed on Master Sun's back and lower back.

"You idiot, what are you doing?"

He Daqing's loud shout not only scared He Yuzhu, but also scared Master Sun who was enjoying it with his eyes closed.

“I…I…”

He Yuzhu didn't know how to explain it.

But when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Master Sun who came, he opened his mouth first.

"Hey, brother, can you please not be so startled? I was just a little confused and you shouted like that. Okay, we can stay up early this time."

"Brother, blame me. I saw my stupid son moving around on you and I was afraid that he would hurt you."

After hearing what Master Sun said, He Daqing's face, which did not have a very expressive face, also showed embarrassment.

Master Sun straightened his clothes and sat up.

"Your son is the only one who is stupid? Come on, he is very smart."

As he spoke, Master Sun glanced at He Yuzhu intentionally.

Although He Daqing was very happy when people praised his son, he still had to be humble.

"Brother, please stop praising him. He has such a small talent. If you keep praising him, he will be so proud of himself."

What's this called?

Saying one thing but doing another?

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to open the lid of the pot where food was stewing next to him.

What's more, He Yuzhu was familiar with the fragrance that came to his face.

I poked the meat in the pot a few times with chopsticks.

Although it is wild boar meat, it is still pork.

Even when braising beef, it only takes one hour to stew.

Now, with the interruption from Master Sun and Xiao Song, an hour has passed and the wild boar meat has become mushy.

He Yuzhu picked up another piece at random and cut off a few pieces with a knife.

"Dad, Master, Brother, try it and see how it tastes."

He Yuzhu took this opportunity to change the topic.

"tasty".

This was Xiao Song’s answer, and he also gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up.

But Master Sun’s response is quite interesting.

"It's worthy of being a secret recipe that I learned from my master. The taste is authentic."

He Daqing on the side nodded after tasting it.

But what came out of his mouth had completely different meanings.

"It's OK, I think it's edible."

He Yuzhu shrugged and didn't care.

He Yuzhu has long been accustomed to He Daqing's so-called "suppressive" education.

However, He Daqing's "suppressive" education was only applicable to He Yuzhu's craftsmanship.

At other times, He Daqing is pretty good.

"Master, brother, let's get someone to come and watch over it. Put both pots down next to the fire. Make sure the brine in the pots doesn't solidify or bubble up overnight. Then it will be more flavorful when you eat it tomorrow morning."

He Yuzhu saw that there was no problem with the taste, so he told Master Sun and Xiao Song about the follow-up precautions.

As for letting He Yuzhu keep watch here?

Come on, He Yuzhu doesn't mind that guy. After all, there are five and a half cooks here.

Seeing that He Yuzhui's meaning was very clear, Master Sun gave Xiao Song a hand, then turned his head to look at He Yuzhui.

"Okay, just let them watch over it later. But wait a minute, I need you for something else."

He Yuzhu was puzzled. It was almost midnight and Master Sun was really rude.

After a while, Xiao Song came back with the people from the kitchen.

Moreover, Xiao Song was holding an oil-paper bag in his hand.

"Here, Zhuzi, this is for you."

Without saying a word, Master Sun took the oil paper bag from Xiao Song's hand and handed it directly to He Yuzhu.

"Okay, Zhuzi, I'm sorry to bother you tonight. Go back with your father early. Tomorrow is the New Year. Go back and have some rest."

"this..."

He Yuzhu weighed the oil paper bag.

I dare not say that his hand is a ruler.

However, one oil paper bag weighs nearly two pounds, and He Yuzhu can still weigh it.

Moreover, if He Yuzhu was not mistaken, the oil paper package was definitely filled with meat.

Combined with the braised meat in front of us, the answer is clear.

The oil paper bag contained nearly two pounds of wild boar meat.

Now, He Yuzhu was in a dilemma.

You know, even though He Yuzhu came, there were probably about 70 or 80 kilograms of food on the chopping board, including the water and other things.

However, braised meat can be harvested right after braising and this is not just an easy thing to say.

Don’t think that a pound of meat may only weigh one pound and one ounce after being braised.

But that's with the marinade.

Try draining out the marinade. If only 8 taels are left, that's considered quite a lot.

Normally there would be about 7 taels left.

Of the seventy or eighty kilograms of food, after braising, only about sixty kilograms are left, not to mention the messy stuff from the water and sewage.

In other words, now in Master Sun’s company, each person can get about half a pound.

And now, 2 kilograms were given to He Yuzhu all at once, and He Yuzhu was really a little overwhelmed.

He Daqing also noticed that He Yuzhu was at a loss.

He directly took the oil paper bag from He Yuzhu's hand.

The moment he got the hang of it, He Daqing had an idea in his mind.

He pushed the oil paper bag directly towards Master Sun.

"Brother, you can't do this. It's an honor for Zhuzi to come and help. How can he ask for your things? You can't do this, you can't do this."

"What's the use of it? You've come to work, so why don't you want to get paid?"

As he said that, Master Sun pushed He Daqing's hand back.

"Besides, this is for the child, not for you, so you have no say. Why are you unhappy as a father when the child earns some money for milk powder for his sister?"

"this..."

He Daqing was speechless after being rebuked by Master Sun and looked directly at He Yuzhu.

The meaning is very clear. You caused this and I won't clean up your mess.

"Master, I..."

He Yuzhu also wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Master Sun.

"What are you talking about, you you you."

Next, Master Sun's tone became serious.

"Zhu Zi, you also know that our army is known as the 'Iron Army'. When we passed by the Jinzhou Orchard, my soldiers didn't even touch an apple. Now, it is even more impossible for the inheritance to be cut off because of such a small matter."

Master Sun actually said this to He Daqing.

Because in the past few days, Master Sun has been telling He Yuzhu a lot about the glorious history and honorary titles of their troops.

He Yuzhu naturally knew that these honors were even more important than life to the soldiers.

But He Daqing didn't know.

Now, Master Sun used the opportunity of speaking to He Yuzhu as an introduction to make his words clear to He Daqing, so that He Daqing could understand what he meant.

After listening to it, He Daqing sighed and let He Yuzhu accept it.
