Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

Looking back on his life, his talent in martial arts had long been praised by the world. He was successfully promoted to the master of Chinese martial arts and had a successful life.

However, betrayal came unexpectedly, and the defection of the proud people he had nurtured caused him to lose most of his strength.

How arrogant they were in their heyday, now they seem so shabby.

Although he is strong inside, he still feels heartbroken when he recalls the past.

When he accepted He Yuzhu as his disciple, his original intention was just to continue the sect's heritage and he didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, this disciple brought him surprises time and time again.

His talent in martial arts was outstanding, and what was even more rare was that he was flawless in his conduct towards others, which gradually helped him to recover from the blow of betrayal.

Although he had taught He Yuzhu Tai Chi Yuan Gong Quan, he had been silently waiting and taking care of Yang Peiyuan's injuries.

"I never thought that when I, Yang Peiyuan, was old, I could meet someone as outstanding as you, Zhuzi. Meeting you is my blessing as a disciple!" The martial arts master was open-minded and would not put on a respectful attitude towards Zhuzi because of the difference in status.

Yang Peiyuan admired Zhuzi's respect for his teacher very much, and felt pleased that he had taught such a talented person.

"Master, you are too kind. Once a teacher, always a father. I just know that respecting teachers is a fundamental principle for a person.

"

Yang Peiyuan was deeply moved: "That's right, respecting teachers is the truth!"

At this moment, his spirits lifted.

Looking back, he founded the Tianyuan Martial Arts School, which was famous for a time and had many disciples. However, what he taught personally could not be compared with the thoughts of Zhuzi, a 15-year-old child.

"Zhu Zi, after you drink this bowl of soup, I will teach you the rest of the Zhuang method!" Yang Peiyuan promised, and his attitude towards him changed.

...

...

Now Yang Peiyuan considers Zhuzi as his only successor.

This deep affection goes far beyond the simple relationship between master and apprentice, and can be described as an emotional relationship of "a father regards his son as his own".

The qualities that Zhuzi had just displayed convinced Yang Peiyuan that as long as Zhuzi grew up healthily into a young man, he would easily achieve the status of a master.

Perhaps he might even have touched upon the highest realms in the martial arts world, because he had never seen a martial arts prodigy like Yang Peiyuan.

He tasted a spoonful of the stew and immediately praised it.

As a top master of traditional Chinese martial arts, it has long been common for him to interact with the powerful and wealthy. Although his taste in food is not as good as that of professional chefs, he also has the ability to distinguish.

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills are also excellent, no wonder Li Baowei chose you as his apprentice.

" Yang Peiyuan commented.

Although Zhuzi's cooking skills did not meet the standards of a palace banquet, Yang Peiyuan felt that they were quite good after tasting them. The level was enough to rival the top chefs of many big hotels.

But one thing that cannot be ignored is, how old is the pillar?

Only fifteen years old! Not only that, he also had to learn cooking, standing practice and Chinese martial arts, and he did each of them so well.

If the rules allowed it, Yang Peiyuan would have wanted to check Zhuzi's brain directly. Why are you, a mortal like us, so omnipotent like a genius?

It is precisely because of this understanding that Yang Peiyuan is confident in letting Zhuzi work in Hongbinlou.

Otherwise, the way of martial arts requires long-term efforts to learn, so how can he be distracted by other things?

The whole pot of stewed meat soup was quickly finished by Yang Peiyuan. As a martial artist, his body was not big, but his master-level consumption was definitely not something that He Yuzhu, an entry-level Ming Jin practitioner, could match. The stewed meat soup was really easy for them to finish.

Yang Peiyuan usually has his own channels to find delicious food to enjoy. Of course, in terms of taste enjoyment and emotional maintenance, the food brought by his apprentices is more delicious and precious.

"Now I will teach you the Eagle Stake, watch carefully..."

Yang Peiyuan gave the usual explanation and demonstration of the drill.

After a while, He Yuzhu started practicing.

"Bang bang bang!"

He Yuzhu's figure kept leaping in the courtyard, and his posture changed with his movements, vaguely simulating the mighty roar of a goshawk!

His training has reached the initial stage of Eagle-type pile, and another skill has been unlocked.

For Yang Peiyuan, he has become accustomed to it from his initial surprise.

For He Yuzhu, can he learn one of the twelve types of stances every day?

Indeed, it refers to He Zhuzi's unique talent.

At this time, He Yuzhu stopped the drill and carefully checked his situation.

【Name: He Yuzhu】

【技能：烹饪技巧4级（/）、钓鱼技术2级（3413/5000）、基础桩功3级（1980/5000）、太极元力拳法2级（41/500）（已习得龙形桩、狮形桩、虎形桩、猴形桩及鹰形桩各1级）、提纵轻功3级（473/5000）】

[System space: 21 cubic meters]

He has now mastered five types of stances, and the energy in his body has increased by 60% compared to when he first started learning Ming Jin.

When he has learned six, he will be able to stand out among his peers.

Feeling the power filling his body, He Yuzhu's inner peace also grew.

"That's right, Zhuzi, today's training ends here.

"

Looking at him with satisfaction, Yang Peiyuan thought.

Then, his thoughts turned: "Zhu Zi, by the way, I heard that your father passed away. How is life at home? Is there enough food? I have been busy teaching Zhuang Gong recently and forgot about this.

"

Focusing only on teaching these days, Yang Peiyuan forgot that He Zhuzi was already a Ming Jin-level practitioner, his appetite far exceeded that of an average person, and He Yuzhu's family was not well off.

Of course, this was also due to He Zhuzi's unusual growth performance. There was no gradual process, which made Yang Peiyuan unable to fully adapt for a while.

"I can still handle it. I still have some money here. After Hongbinlou pays the salaries at the end of the month, things should be better.

"He Yuzhu responded.

After hearing this reply, Yang Peiyuan said nothing more. He turned around and went back into the house. After a while, he came back with a thick stack of banknotes in his hand.

"Here are five million, spend it, and don't mistreat yourself. If you don't get enough nutrition, your qi and blood will be damaged, and that will be bad.

"

Remind while speaking.

As a master, he has not been concerned with money matters for a long time.

As a master, there are always people around him to help with his needs, and money and property are mostly given to subordinates or to gain advantages for them in society.

The situation has suddenly changed. I don’t have much money and property with me, and there are only about 10 or 20 million yuan in the hospital.

It’s not that Yang Peiyuan is stingy. Five million is enough to meet He Zhuzi’s needs at the current stage.

Too much money would be a potential risk for him, considering that he is only fifteen years old and might attract the covetousness of bad people.

Yi Zhonghai considered it over and over again, but still couldn't make up his mind.

Although the formal entry assessment for the steel plant is not difficult, if he behaves excessively, he will inevitably be talked about by others.

After all, the master-disciple relationship between Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu has long been known to everyone in the factory, and cheating in private is already a serious act.

If Yi Zhonghai really supervised Jia Dongxu's exam, he would not openly show favoritism.

Because that would arouse scrutiny and suspicion from others, and his behavior would be labeled as "favoring his apprentice."

s Mark.

Yi Zhonghai kept a clear head and decided to wait and see how things developed.

"Right now, we just have to look at Dongxu's condition. If he can't get through, there's no point in me taking risks."

He was fully aware of his responsibilities and could not let the future of his workers, especially the senior workers, be implicated.

Since there is a possibility of failure in the assessment, it is not worth taking the risk. It is better to accept the fact and slowly look for opportunities for training.

After all, in real life he is younger than his character in the TV series, so there is no need to worry too much.

The wife also agreed with her husband's opinion and nodded in support.

"By the way, my mother-in-law came to see me today and mentioned the matter of the pillar."

Yi Zhonghai, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but add a word.

"The old lady also likes the pillar?"

Yi Zhonghai mentioned that the blind old lady asked them to go together the day after tomorrow and have a meal with Sha Zhu.

Between the lines of these words, there is no doubt that they are reminding the two of the importance of establishing a good relationship with Zhuzi.

They naturally knew very well that the blind old lady wanted to cultivate Zhuzi. Although the old lady was probably around sixty years old, she was like her own mother to them.

Doing so was a long-term consideration and safeguard for their future, as their previous actions in caring for the blind old lady were already known to everyone.

People in the hospital all gave high praise to this.

The old lady's previous identity was extraordinary, and her vision and knowledge were very unique.

They would ask the old lady for her advice on many things.

For example, the decision to accept Dongxu as a disciple was also made after careful consideration with the old lady.

But they didn't expect that the blind old lady would now start paying attention to the pillar.

In the past, when the old lady saw Zhuzi, she would smile and call him a good grandson, but compared to other people in the yard, the old lady's favor was obviously concentrated on Yi Hai and this aunt.

Because they had directly expressed their desire to treat the old lady as their own mother.

Therefore, the fact that the old lady had never mentioned before that the pillars should be a priority in her old age care can serve as evidence.

From this, it seems that the old lady obviously thinks that Zhuzi has great potential for development.

Yi Hai and the aunt’s thoughts were consistent with their observations.

So, the two responded accordingly: "Since the old lady said so, let's go together."

……

Early in the morning, after completing his morning exercises, He Zhu adjusted his standing meditation posture.

After training in martial arts, He Zhu's physical and mental state has greatly improved, and his physical fitness and energy have been significantly improved.

Therefore, now his standing meditation training time is no longer limited to two hours and can last longer.

But after considering various factors, He Zhu still maintained his previous schedule.

Because there are so many things to do every day, including the practice of the basic skills of Tai Chi and Qinggong techniques, one can also benefit greatly from the daily use of Tai Chi techniques.

It is most appropriate to perform rhythmic standing meditation in this state.

Back in the house, He Zhu counted the family's food reserves.

Since learning martial arts, my appetite has increased greatly and the family’s food reserves have run out. The daily lunch brought back from the restaurant is only enough to fill one person’s stomach.

He scooped out a small amount of corn remaining at the bottom of the pot and quickly cooked it into a thin brown rice porridge.

However, he chose to husk the corn because it was difficult for a time traveler of this era to accept removing the husk.
