Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

As night falls, the street lights are turned on, and the orange light shines on the red palace walls.

He Yuzhu held the two newly acquired scrolls in his arms and walked along the path beside Commander Chen.

Chief Chen was in a good mood at the moment. In addition to reporting on his work today, he also achieved his own small goal.

He turned his head and looked at He Yuzhu who was smiling: "Zhuzi, are you surprised today?"

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly. It was unexpected to be able to sit and have dinner with the two of them.

What's more, I got two more pieces of calligraphy, which I have to frame and put in the study.

This is the wind-stabilizing bead of the times, restraining those evil winds, and it has a sense of America’s political correctness.

Chief Chen smiled slightly, patted his arm with his hand, and said jokingly: "Mr. Wu, if you don't ask, how long do you plan to hide?"

He Yuzhu scratched his head when he heard this, and stammered, "This... This must be because I drew too many pictures. My brain is numb and I forgot about it."

Commander Chen's eyes were sharp, and from the expression on his face, it was clear that he was talking nonsense.

But it doesn't matter. The promotion of technology is a gradual process and it takes time.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense in front of me! Just give me something when the time comes."

He Yuzhu chuckled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Chief Chen, and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, when have I ever failed to keep my promise?"

Commander Chen nodded slightly. He was quite confident in He Yuzhu's work. He was capable but a little lazy.

"I'll find you a place to sit in an office and sort out the manuals. Is that okay?"

Commander Chen knew that He Yuzhu was still working at Emei Restaurant, so he greeted him first, after all, Wu Zhaoxiong was his master.

He Yuzhu patted his chest and assured: "Okay! I will go to see Master tomorrow, don't worry!"

Wu Zhaoxiong had long known that He Yuzhu would not stay in the kitchen, and he knew very well that this period of time was just a transition.

"You are considered top-notch in this area of ​​cooking. It is an honor for the old man to nominate you to cook this time."

After the old man and Mr. Wu tasted He Yuzhu's dishes, they talked about next month's state banquet and recommended him to try it.

Although this is just an opportunity for assessment, with He Yuzhu's cooking skills, shouldn't it be a piece of cake?

As for other intrigues, what? The two who recommended it are still doing this, what are they still doing, just go home and farm!

He Yuzhu attaches great importance to this opportunity. Being able to attend the state banquet means that he is an officially certified chef.

In the past, it was the imperial chef, and now it is a well-known brand across the country.

He Yuzhu looked confident, with the corners of his mouth raised: "Others may not know, but you don't know my level yet."

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the small square, and they stopped and waited for the car to arrive.

Commander Chen looked into the distance and saw a jeep coming towards him with its headlights on.

"So, you should spend more time on the technical manuals. Got it?"

He Yuzhu nodded, walked quickly to the door of the stopped car, stretched out his hand and opened it: "Commander, I understand! Please get in the car."

After both of them got in the car and sat down, the headlights illuminated the road ahead and the jeep drove out steadily.

The morning light shines through the window into the lounge, illuminating the room.

The window was half open, and cool breeze blew in, filling the entire house with the fragrance of tea.

The teapot on the table was steaming, and two figures were sitting opposite each other at the table.

"Master, is this tea okay? This is the best tea that I roasted." He Yuzhu held up the teacup and took a sip.

These teas come from He Yuzhu's blessed land. The tea trees planted before have undergone several rounds of optimization, and the tea produced is all top quality.

Wu Zhaoxiong narrowed his eyes slightly, swirled the tea in his mouth for a few times before swallowing it, feeling the aftertaste.

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, he came back to his senses and nodded slightly.

"Zhu Zi, your tea has a long aftertaste, it is really top-grade." He looked up at He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "I will rely on you for tea from now on."

Hearing Wu Zhaoxiong's request, He Yuzhu nodded and agreed: "Okay! I'll send it to you."

Although there are not many tea trees planted in Fudi, a lot has been accumulated over the past few years, and new tea is produced every month, so there is no shortage of tea.

Wu Zhaoxiong smiled happily as he thought about drinking tea every day in the future. He took the teapot and added tea to the cup again.

"Zhu Zi, you should stay at home for the time being and spend more time with Xue Ru. Does the chief have any plans for you this time?"

Wu Zhaoxiong was filled with pride to meet Chief Chen at the wedding banquet the day before yesterday.

He understood that he could not keep He Yuzhu, although he didn't know why he valued He Yuzhu so much.

He Yuzhu put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Wu Zhaoxiong with a serious expression.

"Master, I came here today to talk about this matter. I met with the chief yesterday, and he will arrange a new job for me."

Wu Zhaoxiong raised his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He didn't expect it would happen so soon. He went to find He Yuzhu the next day.

Before Wu Zhaoxiong could speak, He Yuzhu continued, "I also gained something yesterday. I was recommended to attend the state banquet. Hehe!"

"Pfft~cough cough~what did you say?" Wu Zhaoxiong was choked by the tea, his face turned a little red, and he asked while coughing.

He was shocked by the news. Although he knew He Yuzhu's level, he couldn't bear such a sudden attack.

There are many talented people in China, and the eight major cuisines each have their own merits. Being able to participate in the cooking of state banquets is a certification of one's cooking skills.

Seeing Wu Zhaoxiong lose his composure, He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing and had to repeat the news.

Wu Zhaoxiong quickly calmed down and drank some tea to calm himself.

He was not worried about He Yuzhu's cooking skills, but was a little curious about why he was suddenly recommended.

"Zhu Zi, this shouldn't be the chief's recommendation, right? If it were the chief, he would have asked you to go a long time ago."

He Yuzhu gave him a thumbs up and praised him with a smile: "Master, the old ones are the wisest! You guessed it right."

Seeing that he didn't say who it was, Wu Zhaoxiong temporarily suppressed his curiosity and waved his hand.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to teach you. So I'll take this opportunity to hold a graduation banquet for you."

The graduation banquet not only represents the completion of studies but also serves as a test.

The master invited friends in the culinary world to attend, firstly to serve as witnesses, and secondly to taste his apprentice’s dishes and approve of his skills.

The master also acts as the apprentice's recommender, and the apprentice officially enters the culinary circle of the city as soon as he or she completes the apprenticeship.

The master has a famous teacher, and the inheritance is orderly, continuing the incense and favors of the previous generation.

He Yuzhu didn't expect Wu Zhaoxiong to be so straightforward and directly let him become a disciple and hold a graduation banquet for him.

He originally became Wu Zhaoxiong's apprentice just to use his name to whitewash his Sichuan cuisine skills.

When he showed his "talent", Wu Zhaoxiong taught him without any selfish motives and did not impose any bad habits on him.

Seeing that He Yuzhu understood everything immediately, Wu Zhaoxiong taught him everything he knew without delaying. He was just happy.

He Yuzhu's eyes were red. He stood up, took a step back, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master!"
