Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

After leaving the gate of the chief's house, He Yuzhu and the other two walked out of the alley. They passed the sentry post and came to the crowded Xidan Street.

Chen Xueru looked at the bustling crowd with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She didn't know where to go next, so she turned to look at He Yuzhu beside her.

"Brother Zhuzi, where are we going next? Or should we just call a taxi back to the front door?"

He Yuzhu was bearing the rain, feeling it moving around on his back, and he stood up straight and looked around.

Hearing Chen Xueru's question, he turned his gaze to Chen Xueru, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Xue Ru, this place is not far from Emei Restaurant." He said in a deep voice, "I think we can go visit my master first."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru showed a gentle smile on her face and nodded gently.

But looking at the crowded crowd, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she subconsciously moved closer to He Yuzhu, turning her head to look at him: "Brother Zhuzi, let's call a taxi over!"

He Yuzhu originally wanted to walk over here, after all, it was only two or three miles away.

Sensing the look on Chen Xueru's face, he glanced at the crowd on the street and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

When Yu Shui heard that they were going to take a ride, she excitedly leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder and shouted, "Brother, I want to sit with my sister-in-law."

He Yuzhu is tall and has long legs. He looks over his head and waves at a rickshaw not far away.

Hearing Yu Shui's words, a smile appeared on his lips and he nodded slightly: "Okay, I wish it were so."

Yu Shui lay on his shoulder with a smile on her face, and playfully tickled He Yuzhu's ears with the ends of her hair, making his ears itchy.

After the two men had been playing around for a while, a rickshaw came over. The three of them split into two rickshaws, got on them, and drove towards the Emei Restaurant.

"Here we are, sir!"

As soon as the driver stopped shouting, the carriage stopped steadily in front of Emei Restaurant.

He Yuzhu got off the car, took out the fare from his pocket and handed it to the driver: "Thank you for your trouble! Please have a cup of tea."

The driver took the money from his hand, checked it carefully, and then put it in his pocket with satisfaction.

His face was filled with a happy smile. Although the journey was not long, the extra reward made him very happy.

He bowed towards He Yuzhu with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your reward, and enjoy your meal!"

He Yuzhu bowed, turned and walked towards Chen Xueru and Yu Shui, waved to them and said, "Let's go in."

As soon as the three of them stepped through the gate, Zhang Mao spotted them with his sharp eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he walked up to them enthusiastically.

"Oh, Master He is here with a distinguished guest today!"

He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Mao who was walking towards him, and secretly praised his observation skills in his heart, which never disappointed him.

"Manager Zhang, you've worked hard today."

Zhang Mao smiled and nodded to Chen Xueru and Yu Shui, not ignoring them.

When he saw He Yuzhu coming with his family, he immediately guessed that they were here to see Wu Zhaoxiong, and turned his gaze to He Yuzhu: "Master He, your master has just finished his work. He is drinking tea in the lounge."

He Yuzhu was impressed when he saw Zhang Mao directly told him the purpose of his visit. He raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Manager Zhang, thank you very much! Then we will go see Master first."

"Master He, please feel free to do as you please." Seeing his gesture, Zhang Mao smiled and leaned sideways to make a gesture of invitation.

He Yuzhu bowed in thanks, then took Chen Xueru and walked inside.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of Wu Zhaoxiong's lounge.

He Yuzhu stepped forward, knocked gently on the door, and said respectfully, "Master!"

"It's the pillar, come in!"

Hearing Wu Zhaoxiong's reply coming from the room, He Yuzhu pushed open the door and walked in first.

Chen Xueru held Yu Shui's hand and followed him into the house, closing the door behind her.

Wu Zhaoxiong sat upright in the chair, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked up at the door.

When he saw Chen Xueru and Yu Shui behind He Yuzhu, there was obvious joy in his eyes.

"Xiao Chen, you and Yu Shui are here too! Haha, great!" Wu Zhaoxiong laughed heartily.

He waved to Yu Shui and opened the drawer beside him, "Yu Shui, come here, uncle, I'll give you something delicious."

Chen Xueru heard Wu Zhaoxiong's warm greeting, let go of Yu Shui's hand, and bowed: "Xueru greets Master, how are you!"

Wu Zhaoxiong nodded to Chen Xueru with a smile, motioning for them to sit down first.

When Yu Shui heard that there was something delicious, she immediately ran towards Wu Zhaoxiong excitedly, saying sweetly, "Uncle Wu is the best! He saved the delicious food for Yu Shui."

Wu Zhaoxiong was amused by Yu Shui. He took out some pastries from the drawer, stood up, and handed them to Yu Shui.

He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru smiled at each other, then each found a chair and sat down.

Wu Zhaoxiong watched Yu Shui eating cakes like a hamster, with a loving smile on his face.

He turned his head and looked at He Yuzhu who was sitting next to him, with a bit of curiosity in his tone: "Zhuzi, what are you doing here today?"

"Master, I do have something to do." He Yuzhu paused and said seriously, "I went to the chief's house to cook yesterday. The chief wanted to go north to Harbin with him. After considering it, I agreed."

When Wu Zhaoxiong heard this sudden news, he was stunned for a moment and his brows unconsciously frowned slightly.

Although He Yuzhu’s cooking skills are excellent now, he has not yet held a master’s banquet, so his apprenticeship cannot be considered complete.

Wu Zhaoxiong felt reluctant to let He Yuzhu go, and he instinctively wanted to keep him.

After all, the cooking skills in Sijiu City are far superior to those in Harbin, and He Yuzhu will undoubtedly be able to grow faster here.

Chief Chen's invitation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which will be of great benefit to He Yuzhu's future development.

Wu Zhaoxiong was conflicted and looked at Chen Xueru who was sitting next to him, wondering what her opinion was.

He Yuzhu saw his expression change and said directly: "Master, Xueru has no objection to my going to Harbin.

You have traveled to so many cities before. My current cooking skills may be able to make a difference in Harbin."

With the help of the cheats given by the panel, his cooking skills are great wherever he goes.

Wu Zhaoxiong listened to his explanation, weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally nodded in agreement: "Zhu Zi, since you have made up your mind, then I support you. When are you leaving?"

"The specific itinerary is not very clear, but it should be within a month." He Yuzhu expressed his guess.

Wu Zhaoxiong suddenly realized that this trip was indeed kept secret. He looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Then choose a date to come to my house and we can have dinner together."

"Yes, Master." He Yuzhu responded respectfully.

As the sun sets, He Yuzhu pushes his bicycle and walks side by side with Chen Xueru. He turns his head sideways and talks to Chen Xueru about their next plans.

"Xue Ru, we have to visit again."

Chen Xueru smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth when she heard this, her eyes showing a smile: "Things are unpredictable, who knew that you would leave again not long after we came back!"

He Yuzhu shrugged, turned around and patted the back seat of the bicycle, motioning Chen Xueru to sit on it. He easily got on the bicycle and adjusted his sitting position.

"Xue Ru, please come in! Let's start today and go to Master Ma's house first."

Chen Xueru nodded, bent down and picked up Yu Shui, letting her sit on the big bar. She sat on the back seat and naturally put her hands around He Yuzhu's waist.

"Let's go!" Yu Shui sat in the front and waved her little hand excitedly, her childish voice echoing in the sunset.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, pushed hard with his feet, and the bicycle rushed forward steadily.
