Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu did not try to conceal it, but prepared the secret ingredient openly.

First of all, Ma Hua has been with him for six or seven years and has always been loyal to him and can be fully trusted.

Although Qin Shou, Chu Sheng and Fan Tong had only been with him for a short time, he knew more or less about their personalities and qualities, and they were not the kind of people who would be ungrateful.

Again, the secret ingredient cannot be learned by just looking at it a few times. If you use one gram more or one gram less of the ingredient, the taste will be completely different, so this requires a complete secret recipe, and there is no need to worry about a few people stealing it.

Everything was ready and it was already half past ten.

He Yuzhu didn't stop and started cooking immediately. After all, there were twenty-three tables, and if he didn't hurry up, it would delay the dinner.

He Yuzhu came to the stove, picked up the spatula, and started cooking with ease. His movements were smooth and full of beauty.

In fact, this kind of high-level lunch is not easy to prepare, and it is a great test of one's cooking skills. But for He Yuzhu, a master chef, it is just a piece of cake.

Ma Hua, Qin Shou and the other three stared intently at He Yuzhu's hand movements. There were not many good learning opportunities like this, so they had to seize it.

Nearing twelve o'clock, Li Huaide came to the kitchen.

"Zhu Zi, let's start the meal at 12 o'clock sharp, is that ok?"

He Yuzhu said with a relaxed look on his face: "No problem at all!"

Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction, handed He Yuzhu a pack of cigarettes and left.

At exactly twelve o'clock, Qin Shou and a few others took on the role of waiters and served the dishes together with Liu Lan.

After the meal started, He Yuzhu fried two vegetarian dishes and made a soup, and that completed his work for the day.

He Yuzhu put down the spatula, took off his chef's hat, and sat down on the chair.

From seven in the morning to now, after more than five hours of high-intensity exercise, He Yuzhu is exhausted.

"Master, please have tea!"

Fan Tong's face was full of admiration, and he presented the enamel cup with both hands very respectfully.

"Thank you!"

He Yuzhu took the ceramic cup with a smile and gulped down a few gulps.

He Yuzhu put down the ceramic cup, took out the Peony cigarettes that Li Huaide had given him, and gave one to Ma Hua, Qin Shou and Chu Sheng.

Why not give it to Fan Tong? Because Fan Tong doesn't know how to smoke.

Among the people in the third cafeteria, only Fan Tong doesn't know how to smoke. It's not that he doesn't want to learn, but his family is too poor and he simply can't afford cigarettes.

After Liu Lan served the dishes, he came to He Yuzhu with shining eyes. As soon as He Yuzhu saw his expression, he knew that he wanted to gossip again.

As expected, Liu Lan's first words were: "Zhu Zi, I saw Director Li's wife. What do you think she looks like?"

He Yuzhu grinned: "Our Director Li's wife must be as beautiful as a fairy!"

Liu Lan whispered, "Zhu Zi, you guessed wrong. Director Li's wife is not as beautiful as a fairy, but rather horrible to look at."

He Yuzhu asked with interest: "Is it so horrible?"

Liu Lan said with great delight, "She is big and strong, fat and big-eared, weighing at least 250 kilograms, and her face is covered with freckles. She looks just like a female Zhang Fei. I don't know why Li Huaide, who is such a handsome man, would marry such a wife?"

He Yuzhu said softly: "In fact, I have heard a long time ago that Li Huaide married an ugly wife in order to marry a rich man, but I didn't expect his wife to be as ugly as you said!"

Qin Shou said with disdain: "For the sake of fame and wealth, they actually sell their bodies and souls. I despise such people the most."

He Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "You are still too young to know how to get help from noble people. It is better for your parents to pave the way for you. It is better for your father-in-law to sponsor you than for your parents to pave the way for you."

"Marrying a good wife can save you at least twenty years of hard work. Otherwise, why do you think Li Huaide was promoted to the position of Director of the Logistics Department at such a young age?"

Qin Shou said stubbornly: "Even if I go begging, I will not sell my body and soul. I would rather jump into the river and commit suicide than spend my life with such an ugly woman..."

He Yuzhu smiled noncommittally, "Qin Shou, you don't have to look down on others. Some people like power, some like money, and some like beauty. It's just that their choices are different!"

"By the way, Liu Lan, you should stay away from Li Huaide in the future. Li Huaide has an ugly wife at home, and she will definitely cheat on you. Don't let her target you."

Liu Lan's face turned pale when she heard this, and she said anxiously, "Zhu Zi, I might have been targeted by Li Huaide. The look he gave me just now was full of lust!"

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "Is history going to repeat itself? Absolutely not. Liu Lan is my forbidden lover now. I absolutely cannot let Li Huaide get his hands on her."

Seeing Liu Lan's worried face, He Yuzhu comforted her softly, "Liu Lan, don't worry. He won't dare to do anything to you openly, but you'd better not let him catch you with anything. If he does, he will definitely force you to surrender."

"Also, I will tell him clearly that you are the one I am protecting. I believe he will give me this face and will not embarrass you!"

Liu Lan frowned, "Will he bear a grudge against you and cause trouble for you?"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "Don't worry! Li Huaide is a smart man and won't cause trouble for me. After all, I am also under the watch of Director Yang. Besides, he is actively trying to win me over and won't turn against me because of this."

Hearing this, Liu Lan's brows relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

at the banquet.

"Xiao Li, where did you hire this chef? This dish tastes really good!"

"It's really good. My son is getting married next month and I want him to be the chef."

"This dish tastes really good, not inferior to the taste of the State Guest House..."

Li Huaide listened to everyone's praise and said with a smile on his face: "The chef's name is He Yuzhu. He is the deputy director of the canteen of the logistics department of our steel rolling mill. He is also the only third-level cook in our factory. He is good at Tan's cuisine and Sichuan cuisine..."

"So he's a level 3 cook, no wonder he's such a good cook!"

"He Yuzhu? I think I heard Director Zhao from the meat processing plant mention him. He said he's a great cook. I didn't believe it at first, but now I finally do."

"I seem to have heard from Director Qian of the Grain and Oil Factory that there is a very good cook in the Steel Rolling Mill..."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "The person that Director Zhao and Director Qian were talking about is none other than Chef He. Some time ago, Director Yang of our factory invited these two directors to dinner, and Chef He was also the chef."

"Director Zhao and Director Qian were full of praise for He Yuzhu's cooking skills and even considered poaching him, but Director Yang rejected their proposal without hesitation."

"Haha, Lao Zhao told me about this. His expression at the time was full of helplessness and regret..."

At this time, an old man in a Zhongshan suit said, "Xiao Li, please call Master He over. I want to see him!"

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide said respectfully, "Uncle Zhang, please wait a moment, I will go and call him right away."
