Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

"Master He, congratulations."

Everyone tacitly changed their way of addressing He Yuzhu and no longer regarded him as a newcomer.

He Yuzhu remains as modest and cautious as ever.

"I'm just lucky, thank you for your kindness.

In the kitchen, we still need to learn from each other and make progress.

“That’s why Yu Zhu’s attitude towards life makes people feel comfortable. He didn’t act arrogant because of his promotion, and even though his status was elevated, he didn’t show any arrogance.

After saying that, He Yuzhu immediately plunged into the busy work in the kitchen. Those were things that an apprentice should do, and he carried them out meticulously.

Because every bit of progress really comes from such accumulation of little bits.

Although it looked like he was working hard, no one tried to stop him.

At first, there were concerns that he would overwork himself.

However, He Yuzhu was determined and devoted himself to the trivial tasks, not just pretending.

So everyone gradually gave up giving advice.

… …

[Cooking Skills +2]

[Cooking Skills +2]

When He Yuzhu finally finished frying the last dish of shredded pork with green pepper, he picked up the towel around his neck to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and sighed that being a chef is really a physical activity.

Even though his cooking skills were already good enough, the whole day of standing up, whether it was stir-frying seasonings or preparing ingredients, every task was very difficult.

Even though He Yuzhu was young and strong, he could hardly endure such long-term fatigue.

If it were someone else, it would be difficult to do.

But when he saw the tips on improving his cooking skills, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.

[Name: He Yuzhu]

【技能：烹饪4级（已学习6,437/50,000，总进度12.9%），钓鱼2级（已学习3,413/5,000，总进度6.8%）】

Just as expected, if I give myself another half a month, my skills will reach level 5.

When the time comes, you can obtain the relevant certificates, and then you won’t have any excuse to be criticized when you get promoted.

"Master He, are you tired? Take a rest. I've prepared today's dishes for you. You can take them away directly.

"A main chef looked at He Yuzhu's busy figure, walked over to talk with a smile, holding a lunch box in one hand, of course not mentioning his own portion, the other one was specially prepared for He Yuzhu.

This move not only helps, but also brings the two people closer together.

With He Yuzhu's talent and hard work, everyone knew that he would not be satisfied with his current job, and everyone was willing to talk to him more just in case there was a chance to be rewarded in the future.

"Brother Zhang, thank you.

How is the business in the front hall today? "He Yuzhu thanked him and asked about the store's situation.

"Master He, I was just about to say this when I went to the front office and heard the boss, Mr. Yang, say that there were so many customers today.

They raved about your cooking after tasting it.

“Such favorable comments from customers undoubtedly prove that He Yuzhu’s level is beyond other ordinary chefs.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. With the system-enhanced cooking skills and constant practice, he is now able to easily handle ordinary home-cooked dishes in the store.

The next goal should be to extend the service to VIP rooms.

Normally, the service at ordinary tables is sufficient to meet daily needs, while in private rooms, the chef is responsible for almost all cooking matters.

The guests gathered in the private rooms are often of high status and wealth, and many of them are gourmets who have high requirements for the food.

The guests of the management committee last time were long-term customers who came to enjoy the taste of the food cooked by the chef himself.

Being able to serve in a private room for a period of time is obviously extremely beneficial to the improvement of He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

He has planned to discuss this issue with Boss Yang tomorrow, and believes that his performance is good enough to win him a chance.

After drinking some water and taking a short rest, when it was time to get off work, He Yuzhu left Hongbin Building but did not go home immediately.

At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and his destination was Xuanwumen along the streets.

There were indeed a few martial arts gyms in his original memory, where he had seen young people sweating profusely while exercising.

About fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the street near Xuanwumen.

After walking around, He Yuzhu discovered that there were indeed two doors of the martial arts school.

After entering the door, he saw some teenagers practicing martial arts.

After questioning, it was confirmed that the master's teachings were not false. These martial arts halls are only open to internal students, and the students who practice include children from rich families as well as some from poor families.

Those who are financially well-off mostly want to strengthen their bodies so that they can gain more skills and strategies in dealing with worldly affairs.

Most of the poor children have good talents and will be selected by martial arts halls to cultivate future national martial arts.

For the former, the cost is an expense, 50,000 yuan per month, but this is just the tuition fee, and the training diet is not taken into account.

The latter will be provided for and supported by the martial arts hall and will need to become a member of the hall and serve it in the future.

Due to He Yuzhu's current condition, he is unable to practice with the class, but the martial arts school will still sell some basic boxing and kicking training materials.

In this martial arts school, He Yuzhu's eyes quickly stopped on a blue cover manual.

"Pile Kung Fu?"

……

When He Yuzhu returned home from the martial arts school, the system space had already collected a textbook on "Zhuang Gong".

He selected from several simple Kung Fu techniques provided by the martial arts school, and finally decided to buy the book "Zhuang Gong".

The reason is that it has a high cost-performance ratio, and one hundred thousand yuan is a low price for him.

For most people, even if they have 100,000 yuan, they will not have the spare money to buy a book on how to keep fit. After all, many of them can hardly even afford to eat and wear clothes.

Furthermore, compared with other basic Kung Fu, Zhuanggong can better train the basics.

Even though he had never practiced martial arts, he understood that the importance of basic skills far outweighed fancy moves.

And the standing meditation can just meet his needs.

……

At 8:30 in the evening, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard. The round trip took an hour.

Hurry up and heat up the meal for Yu who is waiting at home.

While she was eating, He Yuzhu walked outside the yard and took out the book "Zhuang Gong".

In Chinese martial arts, standing meditation is the core link. No matter which martial arts master or kung fu master, they all have a solid foundation underneath their hard skills.

Posture training is specially designed for honing this kind of solid foundation.

Flipping through the book at hand, he read: "Zhuanggong emphasizes that things will come naturally."

Practicing the movements while reading, He Yuzhu slowly raised his hands, stood on his feet with his knees slightly bent, then raised his arms up to a certain height and turned his hands over to make a hugging gesture.

During his first practice, He Yuzhu stood still as described in the book. After about two or three minutes, he felt his knees getting a little warm, confirming that his posture was correct.

But he did not relax, because he knew that this was just the starting point and that it would be more difficult to persist in the future, which was especially difficult for novices.

About ten minutes later, the muscles in his arms and legs were sore, his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't help biting his teeth. However, his posture was still firm and stable, just like the moment when he was tested in the entry-level standing meditation.

A complete cycle is completed only after completing fifteen minutes of fixed-point training.

As the end approached, He Yuzhu felt that time was very long and every second seemed like a year.

His legs were trembling slightly from fatigue. After all, he had been standing and working in the back kitchen of Hongbin Building all day.

Just when He Yuzhu felt that his body was reaching its limit.

At this time, [Skill Enlightenment: Rooting]

【Take root +1】

【Take root +1】

Successfully started!

He Yuzhu was delighted and filled with relief:

Finally made it to this moment!

When he saw this newly acquired skill on the system panel, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "With you here, I have more motivation to work hard."

Watching He Yushui pack up the used dishes and leave, the younger sister was thoughtful:

"Brother, you are so busy in the hotel, just let me do this kind of work."

Seeing He Yushui taking charge of the task of washing, He Yuzhu's eyes flickered for a moment, but he retracted them in an instant.

This is the significance of their interdependent life.

In this era, he and his sister work together to cherish every moment.

After a short rest, He Yuzhu stepped into the world of staking again.

【Take root +1】

【Take root +1】

The basic training before entry has already paid off.

About ten minutes later:

[Proficiency achieved, rooted and upgraded]

[Level 2 Rooting (0/500)]

When hearing the upgrade prompt, He Yuzhu suddenly felt much more agile, and a spark of wisdom flashed in his mind.

Then he found that his understanding of rooting deepened.

Each movement seemed to be repeated thousands of times. Now the posture was much more standard and it was also lighter and smoother when maintained.

Is this how you get started? He was a little surprised. He had never expected that the changes brought about by the initial entry would be so significant.

At this time, He Yuzhu's fatigue had been largely reduced, and he felt his body was able to withstand greater pressure.

The painful practice of standing still has become more understandable, and it seems that it can help to strengthen one's physical fitness.

In fact, this is just one of the effects of having a solid foundation, but he did not realize that ordinary people would find it difficult to persist in boring practice.

The difficulties that beginners face when they first get started are often a baptism of sweat and persistence.

You will be physically and mentally exhausted every day, and only perseverance can help you learn it. If you can break through to the basics within a year, you will be considered a genius.

Most people often need several years to reach the same stage. After all, He Yuzhu is not ordinary and has attributes beyond ordinary people.

Now he deeply feels the benefits of taking root and positioning.

I was secretly delighted, "This is it!"

, he decided to continue to study this.

He Yushui, who was watching nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he saw his brother's peculiar movements.

He Yuzhu glared at her and told her to go to bed early. Then He Yushui made a face and fell silent.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she prepared to go to bed.

The little girl lay on the bed, still blinking curiously at He Yuzhu, but soon her eyes dimmed and she felt really bored.

He Yuzhu just squatted there, maintaining the same posture for a long time.

Even though the rain had fallen into a deep sleep, he still stood there motionless.

When he first tried the standing meditation, he could barely hold on for fifteen minutes and almost had to gritting his teeth, but after getting started, the pain was much lessened, and he even felt that his physical fitness had improved through practice.

The subtle improvement made He Yuzhu feel deeply real. This is the power of Zhuang Qigong: after getting started, if you persevere in practicing, the physical fitness and overall strength will be improved in all aspects.

The reason why the masters of traditional Chinese martial arts all have good basic standing skills is because of this principle.

About an hour later, He Yuzhu, who had been standing steadily, began to sway a little, then opened his eyes and whispered, "No way..."

...

He Yuzhu felt dizzy for a moment and had to stop standing, feeling confused.

What's going on? Why did this happen suddenly?

According to common sense, as a young man in his prime, he shouldn't have too many health problems.
