Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

If I could really get in touch with the line of medicinal food with the help of the blind mother-in-law, no matter what her motives were, it would undoubtedly be a great help to me.

When the time comes, gratitude will never be inadequate.

As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

"Okay, old lady, I'll leave it to you. If you need anything, just let us know. We won't disturb your rest.

"He Yuzhu behaved very respectfully. After bidding farewell to the blind grandmother, he took Xiao Shitou back to their room.

Watching the pillar go away, the blind grandmother leaned against the head of the bed, and the warm look in her eyes was no longer there.

...

The next morning, the sun began to shine.

He Yuzhu, who had just finished practicing standing meditation, was carefully pondering the secret of the lifting and leaping technique that his master had taught him yesterday.

The key to this set of body techniques lies in the solid foundation of standing meditation, which is not a problem for him.

Because the current standing posture level has already surpassed the level of ordinary people who have practiced hard for seven or eight years, it is enough to support the training of this body technique.

Using the remaining time, He Yuzhu slowly started walking in the courtyard. According to the description in the technique of lifting and leaping, the rhythm of his feet had a special rhythm.

On the surface, walking is slow, but invisibly, every three steps can be transformed into two steps, and ultimately one step can achieve the effect of two or three steps.

After practicing for a while, a series of prompts came from my mind:

[Lifting Skill Proficiency: +1]

[Lifting Skill Proficiency: +1]

[Lifting Skill Proficiency: +1]

[Lifting Skill Proficiency: +1]

After receiving the prompt, He Yuzhu stopped practicing and began to think about the new information.

This is different from other skills, as it can be used in daily walking - which means he can practice this skill at any time, and the speed of his improvement can be imagined!

At this moment, a sound of footsteps approached quietly from the backyard.

He Yuzhu looked at it carefully and couldn't help being a little surprised.

“Great grandfather?”

Doesn’t Yi Zhonghai live in the middle courtyard? Why did he come to the back yard?

When he saw He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with a strange color, as if he had grasped some unknown information.

"Zhu Zi, are you still practicing martial arts? How is it? How do you feel?"

He came closer and asked in an attempt to be friendly.

Normally, he was indeed not interested in things like practicing martial arts. After all, this was an outdated era that emphasized the development of technology rather than fighting and killing.

In his opinion, it would be better to spend more time studying and improving professional skills and strive for better salary and benefits so that he can make a living by relying on his skills in case of difficult times.

He once considered dissuading He Yuzhu from focusing on his cooking skills. After all, it would be a great help for a chef to have a skill, which is a good thing.

However, Yi Zhonghai was surprised when he was summoned to the backyard by the deaf old woman early in the morning and after talking to her for a few words.

“Martial arts, national martial arts?”

He Yuzhu actually practices traditional Chinese Kung Fu and has a master. It sounds quite mysterious.

Despite the old woman's confident words, Yi Zhonghai still felt that the idea was a little unrealistic.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, these things are too far away from life.

However, the old woman also specifically mentioned that he should pay more attention to He Yuzhu, so Yi Zhonghai had no reason to object.

He himself also had a few things to discuss with He Yuzhu.

"Grandpa, I'm just practicing casually to strengthen my body.

He Yuzhu raised his arm to indicate.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded, secretly agreeing with his reasons.

Maybe it was because of safety considerations when taking his sister out. This was also in his favor, after all, he could approach and control He Yuzhu more easily.

"By the way, do you remember the last time I mentioned your father's salary at the steel mill?"

...

In response to Yi Zhonghai's words, He Yuzhu nodded and replied: "The steel mill will be closed at the end of the month.

I have mentioned your situation to Director Liu. You can go directly there and collect your father's salary from last month, which is more than 400,000 yuan in total."

In fact, it was Director Liu who took the initiative to ask about He Daqing because he was concerned about him not having gone to work for several days. However, if this news were known to others, Yi Zhonghai would naturally use it to please others.

He Yuzhu thanked him politely, but he knew in his heart that this person was narrow-minded.

In the play, after He Daqing escaped, he would send money to the courtyard every month, but all the money was withheld by Yi Zhonghai.

If this guy couldn't collect the money on behalf of others, he might not have reminded me of this matter.

Seeing that He Yuzhu only thanked him verbally, Yi Zhonghai looked a little cold.

This kid, is that all he wants from a thank you? He obviously expected more.

Even though he himself did nothing, this is at least a heads-up for you, right?

Maybe a few more words could be said so that he could move on to the next step of the conversation more logically.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was thinking secretly, he saw Zhuzi turned around and prepared to go to work.

Realizing this, he quickly called out to Zhuzi.

"Zhu Zi, wait, the old man wants to talk to you about something else."

After looking around to make sure no one was passing by, he walked up to He Yuzhu and whispered in his ear: "You should know Dongxu's situation. His health has been very poor recently. The lunch box mentioned earlier..."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes flashed.

Tsk tsk, this guy is really affectionate towards Jia Dongxu, even Yi Zhonghai mistakenly believes that they have a close relationship.

I guess Yi Zhonghai knew that his proposal would be discussed, so he put it forward quietly.

"Each box costs 50,000 yuan, and it is guaranteed to be a combination of meat and vegetables."

He Yuzhu nodded.

In fact, if he really needed it, he would not refuse, after all, he didn't have to pay extra for these meals.

Although his appetite has increased a lot now, and two boxes are sometimes not enough, as the chef of Hongbinlou, it is not difficult for him to bring some extra dishes.

If it really doesn't work out, he will have to pay for it out of his own pocket and sell it at his price. The cost for him to build Hongbinlou will only be 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

By this calculation, he did not suffer any loss.

However, after hearing the offer, Yi Zhonghai was slightly shocked. Even he and his wife had never spent so much!

"Zhu Zi, Dong Xu is from the same courtyard after all, can you give us a better deal?"

He tried to bargain, but Zhuzi shook his head.

"Grandpa, this is a dish carefully made by our store. Look at the portion. 50,000 per box is not expensive."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Then let's set it for three days. I'll give you the money in the evening!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai felt a little pain in his heart.

The expense of 150,000 is by no means a small amount for a senior worker like him.

But deep down he knew that he would not return empty-handed this time. Zhuzi was right. The lunch boxes were large in portion and the dishes were from Hongbinlou, so they were naturally nutritious.

It is understandable that the discount could not be cut.

What really concerned him was Dongxu. If he didn't recover well in the next three days, there might be problems with the formal assessment...

Night falls and the bright moon is in the sky.

At the entrance of the quadrangle, He Yuzhu's figure passed by like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye he entered the central courtyard.

After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he nodded.

Today, he has mastered the art of lifting and leaping in his daily activities to perfection, and has directly broken through to the second level.

The figure is moving now, although it is far from "riding the clouds and mist"

There is still a little gap, but it is often difficult for ordinary people to see.

With full strength, a distance of 100 meters can be covered in just over ten seconds. This speed is only slightly slower than the legendary pure white flying man in later generations.

More importantly, He Yuzhu can maintain this state for a long time, which is even stronger than that kind of instantaneous extraordinary ability.

At this time, he was holding two lunch boxes in his hands, one of which was for Yi Zhonghai.

He also stored two bento boxes in the room.

When he was at Hongbinlou that day, he had already reported the situation to Boss Yang.

There was no need to hide the fact that he practiced martial arts.

Considering that he was in a critical stage of growth, Boss Yang readily agreed and allowed Zhuzi to bring a few more dishes at cost price.

These expenses are limited to ingredients, and the kitchen seasonings and fuel are all borne by the restaurant.

After all, Boss Yang has a broad vision and understands that such a young chef will be a treasure in any restaurant.

Arriving at the door of Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu went forward and knocked on the door.

After opening the door, Yi Zhonghai saw the lunch box in He Yuzhu's hand, and his nose trembled slightly involuntarily.

“Pork chop?”

Still braised.

Just based on the fragrance, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but lick his lips.

No matter how bland the dinner was, it would never be as delicious as it is now.

"Zhu Zi, wait a minute..."

Yi Zhonghai turned and went back into the house, apparently looking for payment.

An old lady came over.

"Zhu Zi, did you just get off work? Come in and sit down for a while?"

"No, Auntie, I have to go back and take care of Xiaoyu.

"

He Yuzhu refused.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai came forward with three cash checks worth 50,000 yuan in his hand.

“Fifteen thousand is the reward for three days.

"

After giving the money to Zhuzi, Yi Zhonghai took the lunch box.

He Yuzhu is kind-hearted and has real substance.

After weighing them, Yi Zhonghai had an idea in his mind.

Although the expense made him feel bad, he thought it was worth it.

Now I just hope Dongxu can recover soon.

"Okay, sir, I'll go back first. You can just send it to me when you finish the lunch box.

"

He Yuzhu took the check, nodded in agreement, and then turned back to the house.

After He Yuzhu went in,

The aunt pulled Yi Zhonghai.

“Liu Haizhong came to see you today, but you were not at the factory.

"

"He's looking for me? What's going on about the pillar?"

The aunt whispered something into Yi Zhonghai's ear.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai’s brows instantly furrowed.

"Liu Haizhong is going to take things to the extreme.

"

It turned out that Liu Haizhong wanted to win him over to prepare a big dinner for Zhuzi. On the surface, he said that the elders should take more care of him, but in fact he wanted him to share the expenses.

"He Daqing has been gone for some time, so there's nothing strange about that."

The aunt next to her interrupted.

Both of them knew Liu Haizhong's intention - he was trying to get more people to participate and maintain the situation of the buffet.

They estimated that Liu Haizhong was definitely not targeting only their family.

"What do you think of Zhonghai?" the aunt asked directly.

Yi Zhonghai looked him up and down, thought for a while, and then slowly shook his head.

“Let’s not get involved in this matter.

"

......

(Since He Daqing left, Yi Zhonghai originally planned to help He Yuzhu and his sister when they got into trouble.

Unexpectedly, Zhuzi's performance in Hongbin Building became even more eye-catching.

Just because Yi Zhonghai no longer gets involved doesn’t mean Liu Haizhong will give up easily.
