Siheyuan: Traveling through Sizhu, the scumbag father ran away at the beginning

Xu Fugui, who witnessed all this, knew that Xu Damao had left a bad impression on Secretary Fang, so he quickly and quietly pulled him, glared at him and warned him in a low voice: "You have to be more careful when you go to the leader's house. Keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. No one here thinks you are dumb! We must do our duty well and be focused when showing the movie."

Seeing that both Secretary Fang and his father were criticizing him, Xu Damao felt dissatisfied. They were both working for the same big boss, so why was there such a big difference in treatment?

After entering the kitchen, He Yuzhu first checked what dishes were in the kitchen, and then thought about what dishes he needed to cook today.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from the door: "He Yuzhu, hello! We haven't seen each other for a long time!"

He Yuzhu turned his head and saw that it was the leader's wife who came to the kitchen with a smile.

The leader's wife smiled and mentioned the glorious deeds of He Yuzhu that she had seen recently reported in the Beijing Daily: "Little guy, you haven't come to my house to cook for a long time! You are really amazing! Your cooking skills have not only won praise from experts from the Bear Country! You know, every time the big leader mentions you in front of me, he always praises you!"

The leader's wife had the best impression of the outstanding He Yuzhu, and she couldn't stop praising the food He Yuzhu cooked.

Hearing the praise from the leader's wife, He Yuzhu shyly touched the back of his head and said, "Madam, you are too kind to me!"

"I am just a chef. I feel honored that the boss praised my cooking!"

The leader's wife gently patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are a good boy! Be humble and not proud!"

"What are you going to do today? Do you need my help?" She still remembered the last time she helped He Yuzhu cook.

After watching He Yuzhu cooking that time, her own cooking skills improved greatly, and even the senior leaders became more and more satisfied with her cooking skills.

The main benefit was that I was able to watch the entire process of He Yuzhu cooking, because while cooking, He Yuzhu did not forget to explain in detail some cooking techniques and heat control to the leader's wife, and he taught her everything he knew. This precious learning opportunity is hard to come by even if you pay money.

The leader’s wife is probably someone who loves cooking, so this time she still hopes to learn cooking experience from He Yuzhu again to improve and enrich her cooking skills.

He Yuzhu heard his boss's wife say that she wanted to help him, "The menu I'm going to make today is Kung Pao Chicken, Five-Liu Fish, Twice-Cooked Pork, and Cabbage with Vinegar."

“If you’re not too busy, you can help me prepare some side dishes! We can also discuss how to make these dishes together.”

He knew that the leader's wife was mostly concerned about learning some cooking skills from him, but the leader's wife didn't run a restaurant, so it wouldn't hurt if she learned his unique cooking skills. So He Yuzhu basically taught the leader's wife how to cook step by step.

What's more, having more hands to help can save cooking time.

Seeing that He Yuzhu agreed, the leader's wife nodded happily and immediately began to prepare side dishes according to He Yuzhu's instructions.

Soon, the leader's wife cleaned the side dishes that He Yuzhu needed and placed them in front of him.

He Yuzhu stared at the ingredients and clapped his palms lightly. All the ingredients flew into the air instantly. He used the power of his spiritual sense to skillfully adjust the speed at which the ingredients fell. He observed with his naked eyes and coordinated his spiritual sense with precision, like a microscope.

He waved the kitchen knife quickly towards the flying food, and the ordinary kitchen knife turned into a blurry knife light in his hand.

He Yuzhu cut each dish precisely, like soldiers following orders, and each dish fell neatly into the pre-prepared plates.

This scene stunned the leader's wife who was observing from the side. She looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief.

Could it be that He Yuzhu's cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds during this period? Was this unbelievable to her? After all, she had seen the knife skills of the chefs at state banquets, which were also very spectacular, but not as exaggerated as He Yuzhu's.

Look at He Yuzhu, who casually made the vegetable weight fly up with a palm of his hand, and then used a kitchen knife to cut the vegetables in mid-air. This was the first time she had seen all this with her own eyes in her life. How could she learn from him?

"Masterful!" This word instantly flooded into the leader's wife's mind.

After all, the leader's wife was not an ordinary person. She quickly came to her senses and asked He Yuzhu: "He Yuzhu, isn't your knife skill too... exquisite?"

Now she finally understood what the extraordinary knife skills reported in the newspapers were like.

"Exquisite"?

He Yuzhu then realized that he had inadvertently demonstrated his martial arts skills, and explained: "Madam, do you remember that I have learned martial arts from Master Li Guodong? After learning, I found that martial arts can actually be applied to cooking, so the way I cut vegetables just now is a bit unique!"

The leader's wife recalled He Yuzhu's master Li Guodong and nodded in sudden enlightenment. She couldn't help but admire He Yuzhu's amazing knife skills: "So that's it! Your knife skills are really amazing!"

Seeing that his wife stopped asking questions, He Yuzhu prepared to make the Kung Pao Chicken, which he was very good at.

First, he cut the chicken breast into cubes, added half a spoonful of cooking wine, a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of starch, and an appropriate amount of salt and oil, and stirred quickly until thoroughly mixed, in order to reduce the marinating time.

When he felt it was ready, he took out a small bowl and prepared the sauce.

Put two chopped cloves of garlic, a spoonful of vinegar, two spoonfuls of sugar, a spoonful of starch, and half a bowl of water in a bowl and stir until smooth.

Then he heated the pan and added cold oil, and when it was 70% hot, he added enough lard. This technique is called "hot pan and cold oil", which can make the dishes more delicious.

When the oil temperature reaches the right level, He Yuzhu quickly puts the marinated diced chicken into the pan, frying it until it changes color and then removes it from the pan to drain the oil.

Then he poured off the excess oil, and added chopped green onions, dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, creating a rich aroma.

Add a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry until it turns red and shiny. When you tap the chopping board, the diced chicken and cucumber will jump into the pot like dancing.

At this moment, he has mobilized his telekinesis and spiritual awareness to allow various seasonings and ingredients to blend intimately, and every piece of chicken is perfectly wrapped in fragrance.

He Yuzhu gently shook the pan, and the peanuts on the table jumped into the pan and blended with the food. The Kung Pao Chicken, a dish with color, fragrance and taste, was finally ready.

The leader's wife was full of admiration for He Yuzhu's smooth cooking skills. She had never expected that cooking could be so elegant and moving.

In her opinion, cooking a dish at He Yuzhu's place is like art, as if she is creating a food painting.

He Yuzhu began to prepare the next dish with full concentration, and at the same time explained the details to the leader's wife, who was also immersed in the beautiful kitchen scenery.

In the movie projection room, Xu Fugui and his son were busy adjusting the projection equipment.

Suddenly, Xu Fugui felt uncomfortable in his stomach, probably because he had a stomachache, and he quickly explained: "Aunt Wu, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I want to go to the toilet first."

Of course, he did not forget to recommend his son Xu Damao, saying, "My son Xu Damao is also quite talented in showing movies. How about letting him show movies to the leaders? Sorry, I really can't hold it back any longer!"

After saying that, Xu Fugui rushed to the bathroom.

Aunt Wu saw that the young Xu Damao seemed a little worried and asked, "Can you do it?"

In order to seize this opportunity, Xu Damao said firmly: "Aunt Wu, don't look at my young age. Whether it is going to the countryside or showing movies in the factory, I can do it all by myself. My father is just guiding me. Please rest assured that I will do a good job!"

Aunt Wu said, "Make sure you play the movie perfectly. If you do well, I will introduce my niece to you sometime!"

Hearing this surprise, Xu Damao agreed with a smile and guaranteed that there would be no mistakes in the movie screening and there would definitely not be any small negligence.

After listening to Xu Damao's assurance, Aunt Wu nodded and said in approval: "You are a really good young man!"

"I think He Yuzhu who was in the newspaper is pretty good. He knows kung fu and is a good cook!"

"If he hadn't already been married, I would have liked to help him find a wife!"

When Xu Damao heard Aunt Wu praising He Yuzhu in front of him, he felt jealous and said, "Aunt Wu, don't be fooled by what's in the newspaper! He Yuzhu actually lives in the same courtyard as me, and I know him very well."

"Do you know how ruthless he is to the people in our courtyard?"

"A neighbor just stole his bicycle. He could have paid double the money to compensate He Yuzhu, but he insisted on sending the neighbor who stole his bicycle to jail."

"Another neighbor, Liu Guangqi, was seduced by his wife's beauty, but he didn't bully her into becoming his wife. He was also sent to the police station and was eventually executed!"

"He still thinks it's not enough. Now it seems that all the people in the Liu family have been sent to the police station!"

"Just imagine how cruel He Yuzhu's heart is!"

At this time, Aunt Wu found that the big boss had come with his people, and hurriedly greeted him: "Hello, big boss!"

But the big boss ignored the nanny Aunt Wu and questioned Xu Damao with a gloomy face: "Who are you? Who asked you to come here? What are you doing here? Why are you saying bad things about He Yuzhu behind his back!"

Just now he was praising He Yuzhu's cooking skills in front of several other leaders. He was going to choose a movie to watch and then taste the dishes made by He Yuzhu.

Now this young boy is here to say bad things about He Yuzhu. Isn't this questioning his great leader? It really makes him lose face.

Xu Damao turned around and was surprised to find that several middle-aged men in Mao suits were standing behind him. The leader was looking at him angrily.

Xu Damao also noticed the name Aunt Wu that he had just heard.

Xu Damao immediately bowed deeply and said, "Hello, leader. I am Xu Damao, and I am here to show a movie."

However, the leader's face remained gloomy as he continued to ask, "Tell me, why did you slander He Yuzhu?"

Faced with the leader's rage, Xu Damao's face turned red and he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

The big boss looked at the stuttering man in front of him and snorted coldly: "Pack up your things and leave quickly. I don't welcome people who slander others behind their backs!"

"Don't show movies at my place anymore!"

After saying this, the leader took the others away and ignored Xu Damao.

Xu Fugui had just come out of the bathroom and returned to the movie theater with a happy look on his face. Seeing Xu Damao lowering his head to pack up the movie projection machine, he asked in confusion: "Damo, is the movie over?"

Xu Fugui didn't understand why going to the bathroom would take so long? Could it be that the whole movie was over in the time it took to sit on the toilet?

Xu Damao saw his father approaching and quickly responded by saying, "Dad, the movie hasn't started yet!"

"The leader said something urgent happened, so we don't need to let him go!"

He didn't dare reveal the truth. If he told him that his father was driven away by the senior leader, he would probably be severely punished.

Xu Damao continued, "In that case, let's pack up and go home! We'll find another opportunity to show a movie next time!"

Xu Fugui did not suspect anything after hearing this, because he had encountered the same situation before when he came to show a movie alone.

It is common that senior leaders are busy with their daily work and their plans are not as fast as expected.

Just as Xu Damao and his team were packing up their equipment, the guard came in...

The guard shouted at Xu Damao, "Why don't you leave?"

"Didn't the leader tell you to leave immediately?"

"Pack your things and get out, or I'll be rude to you!"

Xu Damao glanced at Xu Fugui beside him, lowered his head and remained silent. It was obvious that he could no longer hide this matter.

When Xu Fugui heard the guard's words, he looked at Xu Damao who was lowering his head beside him, and he understood in his heart: Xu Damao must have angered the big boss, but now was not the time to teach him a lesson.

Xu Fugui smiled and said, "Comrade, we have packed our things. We will leave immediately!"

The guard was no stranger to Xu Fugui, after all, he had been here many times.

Seeing his sincere attitude, the guard couldn't help but advise: "Restrain your son and don't let him talk nonsense in the leader's house. It will cause a lot of trouble!"

Xu Fugui thanked him repeatedly, then pulled Xu Damao, who looked uncomfortable, away from the leader's house.

Originally, the projectionists were available for pick-up and drop-off, but because the top leader was furious, they were directly kicked out of the compound gate by the guards.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the compound, Xu Fugui's face turned gloomy, and he slapped Xu Damao hard: "Do you know what trouble you have caused? Today was originally a good opportunity for you to show up in front of the big boss, a very rare opportunity!"

Xu Fugui had originally expected Xu Damao to seize the opportunity to perform well in front of the big boss, but he didn't expect it to end like this, which was really annoying.

Seeing that Xu Damao was speechless, Xu Fugui immediately twisted his ears and was about to slap him a few times when Xu Damao quickly comforted him, "Dad, calm down first!

"I just said something bad about He Yuzhu accidentally, and the big boss happened to hear it!"

Xu Fugui cursed, "Why do you have to mention him?... Can't you see the difference between how Uncle Fang treats us and He Yuzhu? I really raised you for nothing! You are so stupid!"

Xu Fugui sighed heavily, having completely lost hope in his son. So the father and son walked back to the steel mill dejectedly.
