Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

At dawn the next day, Jiang Feng was awakened by his biological clock and rushed into the toilet holding his urine. The young man was hot-tempered. After Jiang Feng finished washing up, a new day began. Jiang Feng prepared breakfast, which consisted of steamed bread with pickles and some corn porridge.

He Yuzhu wiped his mouth after eating and ran away, leaving behind a sentence, "Xiao Feng, when Yu Shui wakes up, remember to come over at noon."

Jiang Feng had nothing to do, so he checked the system. The space was still merging, but the time was almost up, with 3 hours and 45 minutes left. Jiang Feng soaked the clothes that several people had changed into.

He Yuzhu arrived at Fengze Garden on time and went to the back kitchen. He greeted several senior brothers who had arrived earlier, then picked up the vegetables washed by the kitchen helper and began to practice chopping them.

But after a while, more and more people came to the kitchen, and he heard voices greeting him from outside: "Master Guo, you're here," "Master, you're here." He Yuzhu put down his knife and walked over.

"Master, I told my cousin, and he said he would bring Yu Shui here when she wakes up."

"Okay, no hurry." Guo Mingsheng took He Yuzhu to the workstation, looked at the potato shreds cut on the chopping board, picked up the shreds with chopsticks, and nodded: "Zhuzi, come with me."

The two men came to Guo Mingsheng's seat, and Guo Mingsheng sat down. He Yuzhu quickly picked up the teacup, grabbed some chopped green tea, poured boiling water, and brought it over.

Guo Mingsheng picked up the enamel pot, blew away the foam on the tea leaves, took a sip, looked up at He Yuzhu, and looked at He Yuzhu standing there respectfully. He nodded secretly and said, "Zhuzi, your cutting skills are already 70% to 80% of my level. The rest is to practice more when you can prepare the dishes by yourself in the future. It depends on hard work. I'm going to let you cook. Do you have the confidence?"

He Yuzhu thought it was no problem, because the chef's ultimate goal was to cook. "Master, I have no problem. I just need you to check it at the beginning."

"Well, of course. Go take a look at the dishes and stir-fry two of them. I'll try the dishes first."

He Yuzhu was very happy, and he knew that his master was taking care of him. Otherwise, he would have to be an apprentice for at least a year before he could become a regular employee. After that, he could go to the kitchen and would no longer be an apprentice in the store and could receive a salary.

Guo Mingsheng looked at He Yuzhu's excitement and knew what he was thinking, so he called out, "Zhuzi, calm down."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu calmed himself down. Everything in the world is common. When doing something, you must first be calm and composed, and be busy but not chaotic. The same goes for cooking. If you are in a hurry at the stove, forgetting this and that, how can you make good food?

After carefully thinking about what his master had told him, He Yuzhu picked up a knife, cut off a piece of pork belly, and went to get a piece of tofu. He said to his master, "Master, I'm going to make a twice-cooked pork and a mapo tofu."

After seeing Guo Mingsheng nod, He Yuzhu lowered his head and began to prepare the dishes. All he could hear was the sound of the chopping board and the afterimage of the kitchen knife.

Light the fire, heat the wok, add oil, and He Yuzhu seems to be in a state of ecstasy, ignoring the surroundings, adding the dishes, salt, soy sauce, rock sugar, and water in one go. In just a few moments, He Yuzhu has made the twice-cooked pork. Guo Mingsheng saw that He Yuzhu was very familiar with cooking, and knew that he had practiced a lot at home. He picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and his eyes lit up. He watched He Yuzhu wash the wok and prepare the next dish, and called the eldest apprentice over, "Don't call Zhuzi, you watch the dishes, I'll go find Manager Zhang."

Guo Mingsheng's eldest disciple is named Zhang Mingwei. He usually doesn't like his youngest disciple, mainly because He Yuzhu is too foul-mouthed. He always scolds everyone except the master. He is just talented, so everyone gives in to him for the sake of the master.

Seeing how nervous the master was, he also picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and started eating. He felt the spicy taste mixed with numbness in his mouth. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became. He was shocked and thought, "Junior brother, I can't make this dish taste as good as this one."

At this time, Master and Manager Zhang walked in. "Master, was this dish cooked by Zhuzi?" Zhang Wei asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

When Guo Mingsheng saw Zhang Wei's expression, he nodded at him and turned to Manager Zhang and said, "Manager Zhang, please."

Manager Zhang looked around, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and started eating. After he finished eating, he said, "Old Guo, are you sure it was He Yuzhu who made it?"

"Manager Zhang, we have been friends for more than ten years. Would I lie to you? Look, another dish is almost ready." Guo Mingsheng said, pointing in the direction of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu picked up the iron pan, shook it, turned around, and poured the food in the pan into a plate.

Manager Zhang exclaimed in amazement: "Old Guo, you are so lucky. It's only been two years and you have reached this level. If you continue to train well, it will be easy to reach your level. Maybe you will have the opportunity to go further."

"Zhu Zi has good talent and he has worked hard. I feel relieved that he can reach my level. Sichuan cuisine still does not suit the general public's taste. It will be difficult to make further progress, unless..." As Guo Mingsheng was talking, he thought of the He family's Tan cuisine. If he wanted to make further progress, he could only rely on it.

At this time, after He Yuzhu finished cooking two dishes, he felt his arms sore and sweat broke out on his head. He looked up and saw his master and Manager Zhang. He opened his mouth and called out, "Master." Guo Mingsheng saw that he was too focused at this time, and as soon as the energy in his heart relaxed, he felt weak all over. He quickly called Zhang Wei to help He Yuzhu sit down, and brought his own teacup. He Yuzhu picked up the teacup and took a few gulps before he recovered.

"Zhu Zi, you've been under a lot of pressure these days, and today I asked you to cook. You were filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and cooked these two dishes. Do you still remember how you cooked them?" Guo Mingsheng asked.

He Yuzhu closed his eyes and thought back: "I remember, I remember it clearly, but when I was cooking, I felt like I had cooked it a thousand times. When the dish was ready, I felt weak all over."

After listening to this, Guo Mingsheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Manager Zhang, the dishes are ready, come and try them."

Manager Zhang was looking at the plate of Mapo Tofu at this time. He bent down to smell it first, then picked up a spoon and put a piece of tofu into his mouth. After eating it, he looked at Guo Mingsheng and said, "Good. It's worthy of the name of a master of Sichuan cuisine. The master of Sichuan cuisine is worthy of his reputation."

Guo Mingsheng also went up to taste it, and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you should try it too. Remember the taste. If you keep the same level, these two dishes can become signature dishes."

He also called out to several apprentices in the kitchen: "Come, everyone, come and try it. Zhuzi has performed exceptionally well today."

Under the guidance of Zhang Wei, He Yuzhu and several other senior brothers also tasted the two dishes respectively and kept praising them. At least none of the senior brothers could cook these two dishes to such a level.

At this time, Guo Mingsheng took He Yuzhu to Manager Zhang and said, "Manager Zhang, what do you think of what I said?"

Manager Zhang announced: "No problem, but with this skill, it's not enough to be a regular employee. Starting today, He Yuzhu will be the second chef of Fengze Garden, with a monthly salary of 380,000 yuan."

He Yuzhu stood aside and became the second chef in the blink of an eye. Guo Mingsheng patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Zhuzi, work hard and don't let me down."

He Yuzhu realized at this moment that everything just now was arranged by the master. Although it was called a food tasting, in fact, he had already informed Manager Zhang that as long as the performance was acceptable, he was originally going to be made a regular employee in advance so that at least he would have a salary to support his family. However, He Yuzhu performed exceptionally well today, and his two dishes were basically close to the level of the master, so he had the opportunity to be directly promoted to second chef. Guo Mingsheng had not expected such a thing.

"Master, thank you."

"Why thank me? This is what I should do as a master. Since your father has gone to Baocheng, I will be your master for a long time. I have to take care of you and make sure you can support yourself. You can thank me by doing good things."

He Yuzhu had mixed feelings. He thought about Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard, who only talked but did not do anything. Then he looked at his master, who only told him when he had done something. The two people's ways of doing things were in sharp contrast.

At this time, a voice was heard from the lobby: "He Yuzhu, someone is looking for you."

"Hey, it should be my brother and sister. Master, I will go out and take a look."

"Okay, you go first. I have booked a private room. Go find Xiao Zhang in the lobby and he will take you there."

He Yuzhu agreed, took off his apron sleeves and hung them up, walked to the lobby, saw Jiang Feng and He Yushui standing at the door, greeted them in, and found Xiao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, this is my brother and sister, they are here for dinner today, the master said he has arranged a private room, please take us there."

"Okay, Master He, follow me." Xiao Zhang led the three of them to the second floor, stopped at the second door on the left, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master He, please take a seat first. I'll order some tea and snacks."

"Hey, thank you, Brother Zhang."

He Yuzhu turned around and told Jiang Feng and the others what happened today. Jiang Feng and He Yushui were also happy for He Yuzhu. After sitting for a while, Guo Mingsheng walked in. He Yuzhu and the others quickly stood up, calling out, "Master" and "Uncle Guo." Guo Mingsheng stretched out his hand and asked them to sit down. He said, "I am Zhuzi's master and He Daqing's senior brother. You are not outsiders. I asked you to come here today because I have something to discuss with you." After that, he picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes.

"Zhu Zi, go to the lobby and place an order for these dishes. I want you to cook them."

He Yuzhu picked up the menu and walked out, spoke to the lobby waiter, wrote down a few dishes, and walked to the kitchen with the order.

When he arrived at the kitchen, He Yuzhu greeted his fellow brothers first and then began to prepare the dishes. When several brothers asked, they found out that they were the dishes ordered by the master, including twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu, and He Yuzhu was specifically asked to cook them. While teasing He Yuzhu, several brothers helped him prepare the dishes.
