Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

"Master, I am your disciple today. Although I don't know how to perform the ceremony, I will kowtow to show my respect."

After saying that, He Yuzhu knelt down on the spot and respectfully performed the salute of a disciple to Li Baoguo.

In this era, the relationship between master and apprentice is as deep as that between father and son, and it is normal for the apprentice to regard the master as his father.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with He Yuzhu's actions.

Looking at He Yuzhu's attitude, Li Baoguo felt a little touched.

He has no children in his life, and Zhuzi is the son of his senior brother. More importantly, he is also talented in cooking, and Li Baoguo intends to pass on his lifelong skills.

"Zhu Zi, get up. You need to concentrate on serving in Hongbinlou. Boss Yang is a man who values ​​friendship and will not treat you unfairly.

Remember, you should also do your best to do good things for Boss Yang.

"He said this to Yang Guotao, reminding him of Zhuzi's main mission.

Yang Guotao nodded and smiled when he heard this, and said, "Master Li, this is good news! When you are free in the future, you must host a banquet to entertain us fellow practitioners to celebrate.

"

The surrounding cooks and apprentices were all envious when they saw this scene. Zhuzi was extremely talented, and after becoming Li Baoguo's apprentice, his future path would undoubtedly be much broader.

Hearing the congratulations from all around him, He Yuzhu realized that he could not enjoy all the honors alone.

He quickly responded humbly: "I still need your guidance, senior brothers. I still have a lot to learn. I hope you can be more tolerant."

Seeing that He Yuzhu did not become arrogant and complacent after becoming his disciple, Li Baoguo felt more and more satisfied.

Selection is not only based on talent, but more importantly, on character and attitude.

He hoped that his skills would not fall into the hands of people of low moral character, especially in this era where reputation is valued.

......

After the grading was completed, everyone went about their own business, and the apprentices were busy preparing for the evening.

Regardless of whether he was the second chef or not, He Yuzhu never despised any chores or trivial matters.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu silently performed trivial work with those people. Although they knew that He Yuzhu had become the deputy second pot chef and did not need to take care of such trivial matters personally, he always insisted on doing it himself.

"I'm still a newcomer, and the second chef also needs to understand the kitchen affairs and help other chefs," He Yuzhu responded to others' reminders in a low-key manner. His humble attitude made the former second chef and the first chef have a better impression of him.

However, no one knew that behind the seemingly trivial actions, his cooking skills were quietly improving.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Boss Yang saw that it was He Yuzhu's first day at work, so he allowed him to go home first after the peak period. After all, he had a younger sister who needed care.

Carrying the carefully prepared stir-fried pork with green peppers, He Yuzhu walked slowly into the courtyard.

Before I even entered the door, I saw a familiar figure coming into view.

……

Yan Bugui was watering the flowers in the front yard at that moment, and his sensitive nose detected the smell of cooking from afar.

Looking up, it was He Yuzhu who came back.

"Zhuzi, are you already working at Hongbinlou?" Yan Bugui asked jokingly, glancing at He Yuzhui with sly eyes, and soon noticed the lunch box in his hand.

Suddenly, a cunning gleam flashed in his eyes.

lunch box?

It is said that He Yuzhu went to Hongbinlou to become an apprentice this morning. Did he succeed? It is not common to bring food home on the first day of work. Moreover, Yan Bugui smelled the aroma of meat from the lunch box. This is not normal. How can an apprentice be so extravagant when he first starts working?

Hearing Yan Bugui's words, He Yuzhu smiled and explained, "Yes, my master Li Baoguo is the chef at Hongbinlou.

This is because Boss Yang allowed me to bring back some vegetables in view of my family's difficult situation.

I’m just getting started, and I believe I’ll bring back more dishes when conditions improve.”

He must be clear about this change, because his current identity is the deputy second-pot chef of Hongbinlou.

With the system, he is confident that his cooking skills will improve faster, and he will be able to prepare more delicacies after becoming a head chef or master chef.

This transformation must not be unknown to others, lest jealousy arise.

Yan Bugui was secretly calculating about He Yuzhu's new identity.

Knowing that He Yuzhu had become the disciple of Li Baoguo, the famous Sichuan cuisine chef, he felt a surge of envy in his heart.

This pillar is really lucky to be noticed by such a great chef.

And that boss Yang seemed to have great expectations for Zhuzi, and asked him to take food home as soon as he arrived at Hongbinlou. What a trust and support! For a moment, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with unprecedented appreciation.

Zhuzi had a bright future, and it would be beneficial to have a good relationship with him! And just as He Yuzhu said, the lunch box was given by the boss out of sympathy for Zhuzi's difficult family situation, so Yan Bugui felt embarrassed to take advantage of it.

"Zhu Zi, I'm really happy for you.

You can rest assured about your future at Hongbinlou. Keep working hard and I hope you can be promoted to chef.

By then, even I, your uncle, will benefit from your presence.

"Yan Bugui said with a smile, while looking back in the direction of the house.

“Old man, go and call the rain out, the pillar is back.

"

Not long after, the three aunts came out of the house pulling the rain.

In order to give Zhuzi a good start, Yan Bugui often invited Yushui to visit their home.

Seeing his brother, He Yushui ran over excitedly.

"Brother, you're back!"

Seeing this, He Yuzhu stroked the back of Yu Shui's head and said with a smile: "Has Yu Shui been obedient today? Did he not cause trouble for Uncle San?"

"Of course I behaved well, and I read a lot of books today.

He Yushui pursed her lips and said, looking forward to being praised.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, Yu Shui is a smart child. She has a strong ability to understand those elementary school textbooks.

"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he asked the third uncle to take care of the rainwater resources out of this consideration - after all, as a former elementary school teacher, the teaching materials at home would be helpful for the children's early enlightenment.

Now that there is an opportunity to change her fate, He Yuzhu naturally wants to give her a better future.

In this era, reading is still an important way to change your life.

Children of the same age are still helping with housework, making fires and cooking, or playing in the mud, but He Yuzhu doesn't want to let the rain share these responsibilities.

Thinking of this, he said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle San, could you please find some enlightenment teaching materials? This way, Yu Shui can read them in advance.

You are the only literate person in our yard."

Hearing this proposal, Yan Bugui was secretly happy.

This pillar is really thoughtful.

Although others also respectfully call him "Third Uncle"

, but as a teacher, his status was not high in this era that admired manual laborers and workers.

"Okay! I'm relieved that you care so much about this, Zhuzi. To educate a child, you have to cultivate him from a young age!"

"Well, okay, thank you, Uncle San! When I get my salary, I will definitely invite you over for dinner!"

Looking at Yan Bugui who was smiling with satisfaction, He Yuzhu felt satisfied in his heart: all this was to get closer to Zhuzi. How could he ignore the chef of Hongbinlou in the future!

"No problem. I'm looking forward to your sumptuous thank-you dinner."

He Yuzhu nodded, then took Yu Shui back to the main house.

"Brother, I can smell meat. Will there really be meat to eat today?" Yu Shui couldn't help asking before they even entered the door.

"Dongxu, you're back?"

Jia Dongxu walked in with a look of joy on his face.

"Mom, uncle just told me that he is going to take me in as his apprentice."

Jia Zhang was startled when she heard this: "Really?"

Full of surprise.

Sitting down at the dining table, Jia Dongxu took a sip of tea and nodded excitedly: "It's absolutely true.

Just now at the steel mill, my uncle came to see me in person. He said I had some talent, and we lived in the same yard, and he wanted to take me in as his apprentice. "

Although this intention had already existed, the fact that it was proposed by the eldest uncle himself was undoubtedly great news for the Jia family.

"Did you agree?"

Jia Zhang asked anxiously.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "Of course. Didn't my mother always teach me to maintain a good relationship with my uncle? He is the only highly skilled worker in our yard.

From now on, I have to call him Master."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's old face was filled with unspeakable joy: "Great! Great! Dongxu, our lives will be better in the future.

You must perform well in front of his master. If you can learn half of his skills, we won't have to worry about our lives anymore!"

Seeing his mother's happy look, Jia Dongxu's eyes were full of expectation and determination.

Of course, my master has mentioned it to me. Starting tomorrow I will go directly to the steel mill to work with him. My monthly salary will be a full 100,000 yuan!"

This can be said to be the status of a half apprentice. Although the salary is not very generous, being able to learn from Yi Zhonghai is already a very good treatment.

When Jia Zhang heard the news, she was also very excited.

Her son is about to get married, and now with Yi Zhonghai as his master to help him, all major events in life seem to be moving towards a perfect ending!

Afterwards, Jia Zhang quickly thought of Sha Zhu’s house.

The only thing left to be solved is the housing demand!

After getting the house from Sha Zhu, life will be wonderful! Now that Jia Dongxu has become Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, the Jia family is also connected to the Yi family.

I will feel more confident when it comes to borrowing a house.

"Okay, Dongxu, wash your hands quickly. After dinner, I have something important to do!"

...

...

By seven o'clock in the evening, most people in the square courtyard had finished their meals.

Some people stay at home leisurely to rest, while others sit in the yard playing chess and chatting.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang walked out of the house and went straight to He Yuzhu's door.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a heavy knock on the door.

He Yuzhu, who had just finished dinner with He Yushui at home, couldn't help but frown when he heard the urgent knock on the door as if someone was asking for his life.

"Who is it?"

After opening the door, he saw Jia Zhang's figure.

He Yuzhu was a little puzzled when he thought of the mean look of the old lady on TV.

"Auntie Jia, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Silly Zhu, have you just had dinner?"

When He Yuzhu opened the door, Jia Zhang's keen sense of smell immediately caught the smell of meat in the house, and she couldn't help but lean over to peek into the room.

But He Yuzhu quietly blocked her.

"Why do you call me that?"

His tone was cold.

In that era, if this title was not changed, he would have no chance of gaining a good reputation in the eyes of the public.

"Call me Shazhu? Didn't I make it clear?"

However, Jia Zhang did not pay much attention to it.

"Forget it, Silly Zhu. I'm not here to cause trouble today. I want to tell you if you can move out of this house? The wing next door is not very spacious, but it's just enough for the two of you to live in."
