Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"What conditions? Teacher Ran, please state them as soon as possible!" He Yuzhu said in a loud voice.

"Didn't you say you are a good cook? Then please take some time to cook a meal for me!" Ran Qiuye smiled tenderly.

"my pleasure!"

As the saying goes, to win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach, and vice versa.

He Yuzhu believed that as long as Ran Qiuye tasted the food he cooked, she would want to eat it again, and then she would fall into the trap he designed, willingly marry him, and give birth to children for him.

Ran Qiuye smiled sweetly, "Master He, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"

"Teacher Ran, you eat too!"

He Yuzhu said as he picked up some food for Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye's pretty face turned red, and she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's: "Thank you!"

At this moment, several men in chef uniforms slowly walked towards them. The leader was about fifty years old, energetic, with white hair and a youthful face, a slightly plump figure, and a kind look.

The old man came up to He Yuzhu and said in a gentle voice, "Young comrade, are you satisfied with the food in our restaurant?"

The old man had a sincere smile and a kind face, but the people behind him looked angry, and they didn't seem to be there to say hello, but rather to pick a fight.

He Yuzhu said indifferently: "It tastes very good. It is worthy of being the best Sichuan restaurant in Beijing..."

The tall man behind the old man said angrily, "If that's the case, why are you still saying that the boiled meat is a little overcooked because of the extra fire, and the fish-flavored pork shreds are not sour enough and are too sweet?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned slightly and looked displeased.

"Shut up! How can you talk to a guest like that? Apologize now!" the old man shouted angrily.

"Master!" said the tall man with a look of grievance.

The old man said with dignity: "Master, what master? Apologize quickly. I don't want to say it again!"

Seeing the old man getting angry, the tall man couldn't help but shrink his neck, his lips moved, and he was about to apologize.

He Yuzhu waved his hands hastily and said, "No... No, I was just talking nonsense, please forgive me if I offended you!"

The old man said softly, "Comrade, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Although my third apprentice has some talent in cooking, he is too arrogant and looks down on others!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "People with abilities often have some personality, old man, don't mind it!"

The old man changed the subject and said, "Comrade, you are a chef too, right?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyelids slightly when he heard this, "Old sir, you have a good eye. I did learn cooking for a few years, but my cooking skills are far inferior to those of the masters in your restaurant."

The old man smiled and said, "Young comrade, you are not telling the truth. To be able to point out the shortcomings of my third apprentice's dish, his cooking skills must be extraordinary."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Old sir, you think too highly of me. I just said a few nonsense words just now. I don't have any real skills."

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Young comrade, what's your name?"

"My last name is He, you can just call me Xiao He!"

When the old man heard the other party's surname was He, a golden light flashed in his eyes, "Master He, my surname is Wu, and I have an unwelcome request..."

He Yuzhu felt a little puzzled. This was the first time we met, and you already made an unreasonable request. Don't you think it's abrupt?

But he didn't want to hit a smiling person, He Yuzhu said calmly: "Master Wu, you say, but my ability is limited, I may not be able to help!"

Master Wu said gently, "Master He, don't worry. I won't make any unreasonable requests. I just want to learn some cooking skills from you."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes turned cold. "What the hell is this about exchanging cooking skills? He's just looking for trouble. This old guy is really bad. I don't trust you!"

Master Wu seemed to see He Yuzhu's displeasure, and explained with a smile: "Master He, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to be competitive. I just want to learn cooking skills from you!"

He Yuzhu was also a man of temper. He said expressionlessly, "Since the old gentleman wants to test my cooking skills, there is no reason for me to refuse."

Master Wu knew that He Yuzhu had misunderstood, but he did not explain immediately. He planned to explain after the discussion.

When Ran Qiuye heard that the two were going to compete in cooking, her eyes lit up. She had always heard He Yuzhu brag about how great his cooking skills were, but she had never seen it in person. Now was a good opportunity to see it for herself.

If He Yuzhu's cooking skills were as good as he said, then she would be in for a treat, after all, he had promised to cook for her once.

Ran Qiuye was also a little worried. Although she didn't know much about the chef world, she knew that Emei Restaurant was famous throughout the country and the chefs there must all have unique skills. Could He Yuzhu really defeat them?

When they came to the kitchen, the tall man said, "Master, how about letting me do it?"

"Yes! Why would you need a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Why would you need to do it yourself?"

Master Wu's apprentices saw that He Yuzhu was only in his twenties and didn't believe that he was a good cook, so they looked down on him.

"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

He Yuzhu was furious. "How dare you look down on me like this? I will show you how powerful I am!"

Master Wu listened to his disciples' nonsense and his face suddenly changed. He flew into a rage, "What are you talking about, you bastard? Apologize to Master He right now!"

He Yuzhu said with a gloomy face: "Master Wu, stop talking nonsense and let's get started..."

Master Wu knew that He Yuzhu was really angry this time. He glared at his disciples fiercely and said coldly, "You ignorant people, I will deal with you later!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Master Wu, what dish do you want to compare?"

Master Wu chuckled and said, "You are the guest, you decide!"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes. You should decide!"

Master Wu smiled and said, "This is my home turf, I've already taken advantage, so you decide!"

He Yuzhu did not refuse and said calmly: "In that case, please ask Master Wu to evaluate my spicy and sour potato shreds?"

The reason why He Yuzhu chose spicy and sour potato shreds is that this dish first tests knife skills. He wanted to use his amazing knife skills to shock the group of villains around him who looked down on others.

Upon hearing this, Master Wu nodded indifferently.

The competition dishes were determined, and the two looked at each other, their eyes collided in the air, and fierce sparks burst out.

Although they were competing in cooking skills, both of them wanted to win. After all, everyone has a competitive spirit.

He Yuzhu was particularly angry at the old man's disciples, and he vowed to make a big splash and give them a slap in the face.

He possesses master-level cooking skills and is absolutely confident that he can win, so there is a hint of disdain in his eyes when he looks at Old Man Wu.

Old Man Wu seemed to sense his disdain and gave him a provocative smile.

When Ran Qiuye heard that they were competing for spicy and sour shredded potatoes, she felt a little disappointed.

"I can make hot and sour potato shreds. It's not difficult at all. What can be compared?"

But when she saw the two of them operating the knife, she realized that she was wrong, and extremely wrong.
