Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

At the end of the month, He Yuzhu went out early as usual to deliver goods to the Guan family.

When he finished delivering the goods and returned to Nanluoguxiang, the sun was already high in the sky and the sunlight was shining brightly.

He returned the tricycle at the alley entrance and walked hurriedly towards the courtyard.

When they arrived near the courtyard, He Yuzhu took out a fat chicken from the blessed land and held it in his hand, a proud smile on his face.

He thought to himself: "Today I will make some sweet sugar sauce chicken for Mr. Zhang, so that he can taste my cooking skills."

He Yuzhu carried the chicken and walked into the familiar courtyard, went straight to the middle courtyard, and started to get busy.

Boil water, kill the chicken, clean it, cut it... He is very skilled and can finish it in one go. After finishing the chicken, he starts to steam the buns.

From time to time, the sound of spatulas colliding could be heard in the kitchen, along with the aroma of chicken being stir-fried in the pan, making one's mouth water.

He Yuzhu placed the two cooked dishes and a soup on the table, reached out to take the lid to cover them, turned around and walked out of the kitchen to the backyard to invite Zhang Baishu.

Soon He Yuzhu accompanied Zhang Baishu from the backyard to the middle yard.

When passing by the kitchen door, He Yuzhu said, "Please go sit in the living room first. I'll be right there with the food."

"Okay, Zhuzi, then I won't be polite." Zhang Baishu had a warm smile on his face and walked towards the living room of the main house.

"The food is here! How about you try it first, old man?" He Yuzhu walked into the living room, put the syrup chicken nuggets in his hand on the eight-immortals table, and handed over the bowl and chopsticks.

After He Yuzhu served all the dishes and sat down to eat, he saw that Zhang Baishu didn't move his chopsticks.

"Old man, you are too polite. Please go first!"

Zhang Baishu smiled, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and started eating.

He ate the small piece of chicken and gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up in praise.

"I didn't expect you to be so talented in cooking. That's great."

He Yuzhu smiled and said after hearing the compliment: "Hehe, then old man, please eat more. I will make delicious food for you when I rest in the future."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for your filial gift." Zhang Baishu looked at He Yuzhu with satisfaction.

"No problem. If you want to eat anything, tell me in advance. I'll arrange it for you."

The two of them happily enjoyed a delicious meal. After the meal, He Yuzhu sent Zhang Baishu back to the backyard to rest, while he went home to clean the living room and tidy up the kitchen.

He Yuzhu took a short nap in the afternoon. After waking up, he washed his face to refresh himself, rode his bicycle out of the courtyard and headed towards the street government.

"It's been a few days. Let's go up and ask about the situation today." He was still thinking about the cult.

He Yuzhu rode all the way to the door and walked in with ease.

"Hello, Uncle Wu!" He greeted loudly as he entered the door.

Uncle Wu came over when he heard the voice and saw that it was He Yuzhu. He immediately laughed and scolded, "It's you, kid! Don't be so loud. I'm not deaf."

"Haha~ Isn't this to wake you up?" He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

"You did a good job, kid. Keep up the good work in the future." Uncle Wu praised meaningfully.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and realized that what happened before was true. He thought that Uncle Wu was not just an ordinary guard!

"Okay! Uncle Wu, just wait and see. I, He Yuzhu, will never tolerate evil!"

"Haha~ Stop joking, kid. Being proactive is a good thing, but you must also do things within your ability." Uncle Wu warned.

"Thank you for your reminder. With my weight, I wouldn't dare to do anything stupid!" He Yuzhu spread his hands to express his helplessness.

Uncle Wu pointed at him, smiled and shook his head. He Yuzhu bowed and walked towards the middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu came to the familiar west wing office and walked into the office skillfully.

He greeted Zhang Deqing: "Hello, Secretary Zhang!"

Zhang Deqing looked at He Yuzhu who walked up to him and couldn't help but smile, pointing at the stool in front of the table.

Seeing that there were no other staff members in the office, Zhang Deqing lowered his voice and said to him, "Zhu Zi, there are still some things to deal with. Don't discuss it publicly for the time being."

He Yuzhu nodded to show that he understood. It was enough for the matter to be settled. Keeping a low profile was the right thing to do.

"Zhu Zi, thank you very much for this matter. There will be some adjustments to the organizational structure recently, and I have the opportunity to move forward."

Zhang Deqing patted He Yuzhu's shoulder with some excitement.

He Yuzhu saw that he was showing his emotions, and it seemed that this promotion was crucial to his development.

He replied, "You're too polite. Of course, I have to report this to someone I trust. If it gets leaked, I'll be dead."

"Zhu Zi, are you working now?" Zhang Deqing calmed down and chatted with He Yuzhu.

"I am now working as a cold dish cook in the kitchen of Fengze Garden. My father is also a cook."

"Well, your father He Daqing is quite famous here. You are still young, why don't you continue to go to school? This will lead to great development." Zhang Deqing suggested.

"Hey, wasn't there chaos a few years ago? My dad didn't let me go, and later I did the family job."

"You should read more when you have time. There is a shortage of knowledgeable people everywhere now. I will keep an eye out for learning opportunities in the future."

Zhang Deqing felt that he owed He Yuzhu a big favor and wanted to give him some advice.

He Yuzhu also knew Zhang Deqing's good intentions and knew that this gift would help to establish a friendship between the two of them.

He heard footsteps coming towards the office, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Deqing: "Uncle Zhang, I'm leaving first."

Zhang Deqing also saw someone coming into the office, nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out of the door, and seeing that it was still early, he thought about where to go. He thought of going to the library, and whether he could gain some experience by reading books with the skills he accidentally got last time.

He thought of his destination, got on his bike and set off for the library.

He Yuzhu rode his bike to the library and exclaimed at the quaint library: "This is the style of a library, exuding a classical cultural atmosphere."

He stored his bicycle outside the library and walked into it with great anticipation, hoping that his ideas would be useful.

He Yuzhu walked into the library and went to the information desk to apply for a library card.

"Hello, please help me get a library card." He Yuzhu tapped the table lightly, reminding the administrator who was immersed in books.

"Ah!? Oh~ Register your work ID with me and pay a deposit." The administrator raised his head and said after hearing the voice.

He Yuzhu handed over his work ID and deposit and asked someone to help him apply for a library card.

"You can borrow a maximum of three books at a time, and the period should not exceed one month." The staff member said as he handed both his work ID and library card to He Yuzhu.

"Okay, thank you! Excuse me, which section are the books related to mechanics?" He Yuzhu asked.

"There are signboards on each floor. The machinery is on the second floor, area A5." He then lowered his head and continued to read.

Seeing how engrossed he was, He Yuzhu didn't say hello and turned around and walked towards the second floor.
