Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

After leaving the district office, He Yuzhu didn't know whether the donation would be successful. He calmed himself down and continued his fulfilling study life, running between restaurants and pharmacies.

The kitchen was busy in full swing, but He Yuzhu was standing aside with his arms folded and wearing an apron, watching Dai and Dong the others busy at the stove.

After the two people's dishes were taken out of the pot and put on plates, He Yuzhu walked forward and took some from each of them to taste.

He looked at Dai Yuanlin and said, "Yuanlin, you fried it a little too long."

"Wei Ming, the taste of this is not right. Try it yourself and see if you put the wrong amount."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, the two of them tasted it and nodded to acknowledge the mistake.

Liu Zixing came over and said to him, "Zhu Zi, Chef Wu is looking for you, go over there!"

He Yuzhu took off his sleeves and apron and looked at Liu Zixing: "Master Liu, I'll be there right away."

When Dai Yuanlin and Dong Weiming heard Liu Zixing's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, knowing that He Yuzhu was already ahead of them.

Liu Zixing glanced at them and said, "Don't overthink it, some people are just extraordinary. If you work hard, you will have your own luck."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and patted their shoulders: "Okay, you two keep moving!"

"Got it, Master Liu!"

He Yuzhu came to Wu Zhaoxiong's rest room, knocked on the door, and walked into the room after hearing the answer.

"Hello, Chef Wu!" He Yuzhu bowed as soon as he entered the room.

Wu Zhaoxiong put down the newspaper in his hand and nodded: "Zhu Zi, Master Liu has reported your situation to me."

"I have to thank Master Liu for his selfless teaching. I can learn quickly!"

Wu Zhaoxiong was very satisfied with his attitude and continued, "I called you here today, I think you know what's going on."

He handed over the newspaper in his hand and looked at He Yuzhu: "This incident prompted me to make up my mind to accept you as my apprentice so quickly."

He Yuzhu took the newspaper with a puzzled look on his face and quickly scanned the contents.

Suddenly I saw the content of an article on the back page, and my pupils instantly dilated: "Ah, this?"

Wu Zhaoxiong looked at He Yuzhu and told him, "I entered Tianshun Garden in Chengdu to learn martial arts at the age of 13 and became a disciple of Master Zhen.

After completing my apprenticeship, I performed in major cities such as Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong, where I learned from many different masters and honed my current skills.

I have suffered greatly from the turmoil in my country, and no matter how good my skills are, I cannot find peace.

Your dedication moved me, and your concern for the country made it possible for you to surpass me. I hope you can carry forward this legacy!"

After listening to Wu Zhaoxiong's words, He Yuzhu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Greetings, Master! I will remember your teachings!"

He stood up, picked up the tea on the table, and handed it to him, "Master, please have some tea!"

Wu Zhaoxiong took the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Okay, you will learn from me from now on."

"Master, I understand. I will tell my father and come to visit after I have prepared the tuition."

Wu Zhaoxiong thought of He Daqing when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Zhu Zi, how much have you learned from your father's craft?"

"Hey! Six or seven points, maybe! Shandong cuisine is okay, but you know how hard it is to get started with Tan cuisine."

Wu Zhaoxiong thought for a moment and sighed, "You are right. The world is different now than it was before. If you learn Sichuan cuisine from me, you will have a wider range of options."

"That should be it! My father asked me to take the test after he came to the restaurant to eat. He gave you a thumbs up for your cooking skills!"

"Haha! Come on! Come with me and try it out." Wu Zhaoxiong walked out of the room happily.

After work in the evening, He Yuzhu rushed all the way back. Not only did he learn from a famous teacher, but he also saw the double experience he gained today, which was a real improvement.

One-on-one guidance from a famous teacher really makes things more efficient.

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the living room, he shouted to He Daqing, "Master Wu has agreed to accept me as his disciple today. Please prepare your apprenticeship gift!"

"Puff! What? It's only been a short time!" He Daqing couldn't believe it. "You're not kidding me, are you?"

"It's true! There's nothing to lie about this!"

He Daqing took a sip of water to calm down: "Yes, I understand. I will pay you a visit and discuss the matter of the apprenticeship banquet."

"Got it!"

He Daqing began to get busy with preparations for the apprenticeship banquet. He first prepared the tuition fee and visited Wu Zhaoxiong to discuss the time.

He posted a message in advance to invite his fellow apprentices to witness the event, and he also took the trouble to find some good ingredients and arrange a few main dishes for the banquet.

After the busy day of apprenticeship, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle with He Daqing on his back back to the courtyard.

He helped He Daqing into his bedroom, settled him down, and was about to leave.

He Daqing lay on the bed, squinting his eyes and mumbling, "Zhu Zi! You'll have to rely on yourself from now on. I've done my best to repay your mother."

He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously and just thought it was He Daqing's drunken talk.

After busying himself in the kitchen every day, He Yuzhu saw that his cooking skills and experience were growing rapidly. He estimated that he would be able to upgrade before the New Year, so he became more actively involved.

Wu Zhaoxiong saw that He Yuzhu was very talented and worked hard. He felt that he had made great progress and was in a good mood every day.

At around three or four in the afternoon, He Yuzhu walked out of the gate of Sanyuan Hall and rode his bicycle to go home.

He planned to come to Sanyuantang twice a month during the period before the New Year. Firstly, it would give himself a day or two to rest, and secondly, his skills and experience were increasing slowly, so he wouldn't mind a few days of rest.

After Sun Yongyao assessed He Yuzhu, seeing that he was making rapid progress, he agreed to this request.

"Ah! I can finally take a break. I'm really tired from working non-stop."

He Yuzhu was riding his bike slowly when he suddenly saw a familiar figure not far ahead.

He was about to call out to He Daqing, but unexpectedly turned into a fork in the road.

"This is fucking wrong! This is neither the way home nor the way to Rainwater School."

He Yuzhu subconsciously followed quietly to see what was going on.

He followed He Daqing, turning left and right in the alley, and finally stopped in front of a yard.

He Yuzhu hid in the corner and looked at the situation in front of the yard from afar.

He Daqing was seen pushing the cart and carrying a lunch box.

He Yuzhu took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was not yet four o'clock and the steel mill's working hours had not yet ended.

"It would be strange if there were no unexpected incidents!"

He Yuzhu squatted in the corner for more than half an hour before he saw movement at the gate.

As the gate opened, He Daqing was seen pushing a cart out, followed by a woman.

“What the hell!!!” Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu stood up suddenly and almost couldn’t help but rush out.

He Daqing chatted and laughed with the woman for a few words before riding away on his bike.

He Yuzhu then looked carefully at the woman standing in front of the courtyard gate. When he saw her face clearly, he couldn't help but marvel at her.

"This woman has a pretty face, with eyes full of autumn water and eyebrows like willows. How did He Daqing hook up with her? Ah? No! Could her surname be Bai?"
