Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu moved more than twenty jars of wine in one breath without even breaking a sweat.

Xu Huizhen said considerately: "Husband, are you tired? Drink some water!"

He Yuzhu smiled calmly: "Not tired, didn't you see I didn't even sweat?"

Xu Huizhen said with seductive eyes: "Hubby, you are so amazing!"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "You just found out!"

"shameless!"

Xu Huizhen spat shyly.

"Ouch! It's so sour!"

"Manager Xu, He Yuzhu, can you two please pay attention to the occasion? We are still here!"

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen shyly twisted He Yuzhu's arm and said angrily:

"It's all your fault. You embarrassed me!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "There is nothing shameful about this, we are not outsiders!"

Ma Liansheng said with gratitude: "Director He, thank you! If it weren't for you, my old waist would probably suffer again!"

"I'm old and useless!"

He Yuzhu waved his hands and said, "It's okay! But this is not a solution. I can't ask you to carry the wine every time, right?"

Xu Huizhen said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. The tavern has to control costs. It is impossible to hire someone to move the bar."

"Besides, drinking once can only last for about two months, so it's just a short while before you're tired."

"You can talk to the wine deliveryman and ask them to help you move it. You just need to pay them more."

"I discussed it with him, but he didn't want to. He said there were other restaurants that needed him to deliver the wine, and he didn't have the time. He would leave as soon as he unloaded the wine."

"Then next time ask them to deliver it in the evening or on Sunday, and I will help you move it."

"That's daring!"

"Director He, you guys chat, I have to go to the kitchen."

Xu Huizhen said casually: "Hubby, the guests in the tavern are mainly concentrated in the evening, so we have dinner early!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Huizhen, don't forget, I'm also a chef. I know more about these than you!"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "What's so great about a chef? I punish you to cook dinner for us."

Ma Liansheng said hurriedly: "Manager Xu, I'll go. Director He is tired from moving the wine just now. Besides, cooking is my job."

Xu Huizhen shook her head and said, "It's okay. He's not tired. Let him cook. Everyone can try his cooking skills."

He Yuzhu shrugged indifferently and said domineeringly: "Xu Huizhen, lead the way!"

"Virtue!"

Xu Huizhen showed disgust, but still took He Yuzhu to the kitchen next door.

"Sister Yuqin, let's go take a look too!"

“What’s so good about cooking?”

"Manager Xu said that Director Xu is a third-level cook. His cooking skills must be much better than Chef Ma's. We can go and see for ourselves."

"That makes sense. We have nothing to do now anyway, so let's go and see what's going on!"

Seeing that everyone went to the kitchen, Zhao Yali followed them to the kitchen.

An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one move. The moment He Yuzhu picked up the kitchen knife, his whole aura changed. All kinds of ingredients were like dolls, allowing him to manipulate them.

He Yuzhu's knife skills were as smooth as flowing water, swift and sharp yet beautiful, which amazed everyone.

Not long after, the colorful soup was ready.

Shredded pork with black fungus, mapo tofu, shredded cabbage, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried phoenix tail, and seaweed egg drop soup.

The girls couldn't help swallowing their saliva as they looked at the delicious dishes on the table.

Seeing everyone's greedy looks, Xu Huizhen's mouth curled up and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Yumei, bring two taels of wine each to my husband and Master Ma."

When He Yuzhu took off her apron and came to the living room, Xu Huizhen smiled and said:

"Hubby, you've worked so hard. To reward you, I'll give you two ounces of wine!"

"Two taels is not enough, at least one catty is needed!"

"You think it's water? And one pound? Just taste it!"

"Two taels is two taels, don't just stand there, eat it all!"

"Director He, we've been waiting for you to say this!"

"Why are you waiting for me to speak? I'm not your boss."

"You are not our boss, but your wife is our boss, and she listens to you. If you don't give the order, how dare we pick up our chopsticks?"

"You are wrong. Look at his expression. Can she listen to me?"

"You are the head of the family. If I don't listen to you, who should I listen to?"

"In that case, let's eat!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone couldn't wait to start eating.

“Wow… this shredded pork with black fungus is so good!”

"Mapo tofu is delicious, spicy, tender and smooth, and melts in your mouth."

"The hot and sour potato shreds are also delicious, delicate and crispy, sour and spicy."

"Brother He, your cooking skills are so good. I have never eaten such delicious food."

"Master Ma, your cooking skills are far inferior to Brother He's. You need to learn more from him."

"Don't talk nonsense, Master Ma's cooking skills are also very good."

"Manager Xu, Yuqin is right. Family members know their own business. My cooking skills are indeed far inferior to Director He's."

"Director He, I will have to learn a lot from you in the future."

"Master Ma, you are too kind. Let's learn from each other!"

He Yuzhu finished his meal amid everyone's praise.

Xu Huizhen's face was so full of smiles that she was even happier than if she had received the praise.

Zhao Yali said with envy, "Huizhen, you really found a treasure. Your man is not only strong, but also cooks delicious food. How come you are so lucky?"

Xu Huizhen's eyes narrowed into a line as she said with a smug look on her face, "I am a good person and I am rewarded!"

Zhao Yali said sourly, "What do you mean by good things happen to good people? Go back to your hometown tomorrow and see if there is smoke coming out of your ancestral graves."

Xu Huizhen was not annoyed at all, and smiled and said, "You are right. I should really go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors and thank them for letting me find such a good husband."

Zhao Yali was speechless for a moment, then turned and left.

As time went by, the tavern was full of guests, all of whom were old customers, such as Chen Xueru, Niu Ye, Pian Ye, Xu Hesheng...

Seeing that the tavern was full, Xu Huizhen immediately pulled He Yuzhu out.

"Everyone be quiet. Let me introduce you to my husband, He Yuzhu. He is the canteen director of the steel mill and a third-level cook."

As soon as Xu Huizhen finished speaking, Chen Xueru stood up with a look of disbelief on her face, and said in a trembling voice:

"Xu Huizhen, what did you say? Brother He is your husband?"

Xu Huizhen said calmly, "Yes! We got our marriage certificate yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru's face turned dejected, and she sat down dejectedly like a deflated ball.

Chen Xueru was filled with regret. She had originally had a crush on He Yuzhu and had planned to invite He Yuzhu to her home on Sunday and then use her charm to win him over in one fell swoop.

But who knew Xu Hui would be so cunning and take He Yuzhu down so quickly, even getting the marriage certificate. Now that the matter was done, it was too late.
