Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

The next day, He Yuzhu arrived at Ran Qiuye's house early to wish him a happy new year.

And He Yushui also went out to play with Yu Haitang.

Mr. and Mrs. Ran were very happy to see He Yuzhu coming.

Since he didn't have a son, he treated He Yuzhu like his own son.

Ran Qiuye was even happier and went out with He Yuzhu to have fun for the whole day.

The relationship between the two quickly heated up.

Ran Qiuye told He Yuzhu.

The reason I proposed marriage was really for the children, so I don’t have the energy to think about marriage for the time being.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry. Half a year, no more than a year at most. Once my job is stable, we will get married. I will also eat the food you cook. I will never get enough of it in my lifetime."

Hearing Ran Qiuye's assurance, the stone in my heart fell.

He said while holding Ran Qiuye's hand.

"Okay, in that case, I will also work hard and strive to reach a higher level, and then I will marry you in a grand manner!"

Faced with He Yuzhu's confession, Ran Qiuye blushed and nodded in agreement.

He Yuzhu happily took Ran Qiuye and walked towards the cinema.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and no one has to go to work, so the cinema is very busy.

There are three movies in total in the cinema today.

One is "Honghu Red Guards"

One is "The Red Detachment of Women"

There is another one, which is actually the cartoon "Havoc in Heaven"

He Yuzhu has seen all these movies.

In later generations, even in the 1980s and 1990s, these red movies were still very popular.

He Yuzhu particularly likes things like mine warfare and tunnel warfare, which look really exciting.

Ran Qiuye stood in front of the hand-painted posters and spent a long time choosing, but still didn't know which one to watch.

"Brother Zhuzi, I want to watch every one of them. What should I do? I don't know how to choose."

He Yuzhu laughed.

"What to choose? Of course I'll look at them all. Wait, I'll go buy the tickets."

After buying the movie tickets, He Yuzhu went to the state-owned store next door and bought several bottles of Beibingyang soda.

This stuff costs 1.5 cents a bottle, and you have to pay a 1-cent deposit for the bottle.

I bought another bag of melon seeds.

Watching a movie without eating something always feels a little incomplete.

"It would be nice if there was popcorn from the future, with a buttery taste that would be even more delicious."

Thinking back to popcorn, He Yuzhu immediately had an idea.

Find an empty corner and enter the different space immediately.

Ran into the house, lit the oil, added sugar, poured the dried corn kernels into the pot, and stirred it constantly.

Quickly, the dry corn popped and the off-white popcorn was ready.

He Yuzhu picked up one.

It's sweet and tastes good.

It’s a pity that there is no cream. If I have a chance, I’ll get some and put it in the space.

Use a mahogany basin to put popcorn in it and come out of the alien space.

When I came to Ran Qiuye, Ran Qiuye was a little emotional.

"Where have you been? The movie is about to start. Is this... popcorn?"

Ran Qiuye grew up abroad with his parents, so he naturally knew about popcorn.

Smelling the tempting aroma, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but pick up one and put it in his mouth.

"Lick it?! It tastes good though. It would be even better if there was some cream."

"When I was a kid in the United States, I ate salty and sweet popcorn. This is the first time I've eaten it."

He Yuzhu put the popcorn bucket in her hands.

"This is all yours, and you bought some soda, so come on in, it's almost time to start."

In this way, He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye stayed together from the first day of the New Year until the evening, and then they reluctantly parted and went home.

In the second year of junior high school, He Yuzhu carried his things and took He Yushui to find someone.

This man watched He Yuzhu and his siblings grow up, and he was also the one who taught He Yuzhu the Sichuan cuisine skills.

He is He Yuzhu’s Sichuan cuisine master and current head chef of Emei Hotel - Jin Tanyi.

At the same time, he is also He Daqing's fellow junior fellow student.

It’s just that one is good at Tan cuisine, and the other prefers Sichuan cuisine.

Because his predecessor Shazhu was such a bastard.

Learned Tan cuisine from his father He Daqing.

He also learned Sichuan cuisine from Jin Tanyi, although He Yuzhu was still young and in school at that time.

However, his understanding and talent for cooking are truly unmatched by others.

What others would take two or three years to learn, He Yuzhu could master in just one year.

And we can go further and make a lot of innovations based on the original foundation.

Later, He Daqing left with Widow Bai.

He Yuzhu felt that his father had betrayed him, so he began to hate his father.

Jin Tanyi, He Daqing's junior fellow student, once advised He Yuzhu not to hold a grudge against He Daqing too much.

But because of this, He Yuzhu also held a grudge against him.

So these past ten years.

He Yuzhu never visited his master again.

In this life, He Yuzhu has seen through everything and figured it out.

My father is a bastard, so it's normal for me to hate him, but it has nothing to do with my master.

In my previous life, I was such a bastard.

So he wanted to change all that, he couldn't call such a bastard anymore.

I took He Yushui and He Yuzhu to buy some cakes, candies and the like.

He secretly took out a lot of good things from the other space, then took his sister and the things to see his master.

The master lives in Xizhimen, not far from He Yuzhu and the others.

Because I am the head chef at Emei Hotel, my income is quite considerable.

We bought an independent small courtyard a long time ago, and our family of three lives there alone, which saves us a lot of trouble.

"Brother, do you think Uncle Jin will let us in? After all, we haven't been to his house for ten years. Will we be kicked out?"

He Yushui said weakly while eating candied haws.

He Yuzhu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and could only ask his master not to be so stingy.

Soon, the two siblings arrived at Jin Tanyi's courtyard.

The snow at the gate of the courtyard has been cleared, which means someone is home.

He Yuzhu stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door.

"Who is it? It's coming."

A clear female voice was heard, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

'Crunch! '

The door is opened.

A girl poked her head out.

"Hula...Hula brother, Rainwater sister?"

The girl was very surprised that this old couple, whom she hadn't seen for ten years, suddenly came to her house today.

"Xiaoju, is my master home?"

He Yuzhu asked in a low voice.

Xiaoju looked behind him and whispered to He Yuzhu.

"Yes, I just got up."

Just then, a woman's voice came from the house.

"Girl, who's here?"

He Yuzhu knew that this was the voice of his master's wife.

"Mom, Brother Zhuzi and Sister Yushui are here."

Xiaoju is one year older than He Yushui and is already eighteen years old this year.

Upon hearing that Zhuzi and his sister had arrived, the master's wife came out immediately.

She had watched this brother and sister grow up since they were young, and she loved them like her own children.

“Pillar…Pillar…Wuwuwu!!”

Before his master's wife's name was even called out, he started crying.

He Yuzhu immediately stepped forward and held his master's wife.

"Master's wife, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

At this time, Master Jin Tanyi also walked out of the house. When he saw He Yuzhu, his face immediately turned black and he was about to curse.

He Yuzhu knelt down in front of Jin Tanyi with a plop.

'Boom boom boom'

Just three rings.

"Master, I am the unfilial disciple He Yuzhu. I kowtow to you and beg for your forgiveness!"

Seeing He Yuzhu like this, Jin Tanyi, as his master, didn't know what to say.

The master's wife beside him also pulled Jin Tanyi and nodded at him.

Jin Tanyi then said with a relieved expression.

"Get up, take this red envelope. It's New Year's Day, I kowtowed, so I'm giving you a red envelope for good luck."

He Yuzhu then raised his head, smiled, and walked up to his master.

He Yushui also came over and said to Jin Tanyi.

"Master, Happy New Year! Wish you good fortune and prosperity, give me the red envelope..."

Jin Tanyi gave He Yushui a slap on the head and happily took out a red envelope.

"You little girl, you've been so cunning since you were little, take it!"

He Yushui also nodded happily and accepted the red envelope.

Xiaoju came over and whispered something in He Yushui's ear, and then the two girls ran out.

"Dad, Yu Shui and I are going out to play. We'll be back later."

Jin Tanyi nodded.

"Go have fun, and be safe!"

Then let He Yuzhu go to the inner room.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the inner room, and the room was very warm.

The three of them sat down.

Jin Tanyi poured a cup of tea for He Yuzhu and asked.

"How are you doing at the steel mill now, you little brat? You've been gone for ten years. Why don't you wait until I die before coming back?"

Seeing that his master was still angry, He Yuzhu said in a low voice.

"Master, I am a humble disciple. I am currently the deputy director of the canteen at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and a level 6 chef. I earn over 80 yuan a month, and I also get various coupons worth more than 10 yuan."

After listening to this, Jin Tanyi was quite satisfied.

"Then have your cooking skills improved? You have to know that cooking skills are like sailing against the current. If you don't make progress, you will regress."

He Yuzhu patted his chest and said.

"Master, don't worry. I won't forget what you taught me for even a moment. I'll cook at noon. Please check it for me."

After listening to this, Jin Tanyi immediately pulled He Yuzhu to the kitchen, insisting on seeing him show off his skills.

He Yuzhu didn't act pretentiously and just rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

His master is a Sichuan cuisine chef, so He Yuzhu naturally cooks Sichuan cuisine.

I looked into the pond and saw a big grass carp lying there.

He Yuzhu decided to make a sweet and sour squirrel fish.

To cook this dish, you need good knife skills.

He Yuzhu grabbed the fish, removed the scales and gutted it, then cut the fish open along the spine with two cuts.

Cut the spine.

Then use a slanting knife to cut the fish meat into flower-shaped cuts horizontally and vertically, and then sprinkle it with cornstarch so that all the fish meat is coated with cornstarch.

Heat oil in a pan.

The master is a cook, and as the saying goes, if the cook doesn’t steal, the crops won’t be harvested.

It's normal to steal some salt, MSG, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.

Since they stole oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, it would be normal to steal some bowls, chopsticks, pots and so on.

All the pots and pans were stolen.

Then it wouldn't be too much to steal a stool, a table, a waitress, a wall, and a roof.

Whether a chef’s cooking skills are good or not can be seen from his knife skills.

The chefs in the past were not like the chefs today. Those who cooked only cooked.

Those who cut vegetables just cut vegetables.

In the past, when you learned a craft, you had to do odd jobs for three years first.

Then I have to cut vegetables for another two years.

It’s over.

Only a master will teach you real skills.

All the money earned must be given to the master.

It takes ten years of apprenticeship to become a master. Once a teacher, always a father. Master is master.

Even if he was beaten to death by his master, he deserved it.

However, in the new society and new atmosphere, beating or scolding people is no longer allowed.

Seeing He Yuzhu's smooth swordsmanship, Jin Tanyi couldn't help but shout "Great!"

When the master's wife heard it, she also went to the kitchen to see what was happening.

When the oil is hot, fry the fish and set aside.

Pretend to grope through the dishes you brought.

Take out some tomatoes.

Peel and chop, then cook into tomato sauce for later use.

In this way, He Yuzhu was busy and the kitchen was bustling with activity.

Jin Tanyi was itching to try his hand at it, so he decided to show off his skills.

that's it.

A years-long feud was finally resolved in a cooking competition.

Soon, the day passed.

Before leaving, the happy and slightly tipsy Master Jin Tanyi patted Zhuzi on the shoulder and said.

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills have surpassed my master's. I am very happy. Work hard and you will be more successful than me in the future."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Master, don't worry. We won't embarrass you. It's getting late. We'll go back. Tomorrow is the third day of the Chinese New Year. We still have things to do. We'll come to see you when we have time."

He Yushui also said goodbye to Xiaoju's family, and rode on his brother's bike towards the courtyard.

After a day of cleaning at home on the third day of the Chinese New Year, the two siblings were exhausted and closed the door early to rest.

The New Year holiday is over and I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the neighbors outside, and I got up reluctantly to go to work.

But on the first day at work, something went wrong in the cafeteria.

The squad leader of the first canteen is Peng Rengui, who was a man of the former canteen director Zhao.

Although Director Zhao has retired, he was still in charge of the purchasing of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The oil and water in it flowed into the bag.

Although he had to hand over part of the benefits to Li Huaide, he could also get a lot of money.

Now He Yuzhu has taken over as deputy director of the canteen.

Although Director Zhao has retired, he still has his network of contacts, although he doesn't earn as much as before.

But it is still a considerable income.

The people responsible for this task were the canteen monitor, Peng Rengui, and his two chefs.

Now the logistics procurement of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has been taken over by He Yuzhu.

As the saying goes, cutting off a person's financial resources is like killing his parents.

Now that their extra income has been cut off, they are very annoyed.

So, at the instigation of the retired Director Zhao, these people decided to give Deputy Director He Yuzhu a warning in the New Year.

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, something bad has happened in the cafeteria!"

Just when everyone was busy, Liu Lan suddenly came to He Yuzhu's office.

He Yuzhu was curious. Wasn't the cafeteria good enough? How could something like this happen?

"Sister Lan, what's going on? What happened in the cafeteria?"

He Yuzhu was also afraid that something might happen, so he hurriedly asked.

"Sister Ye, the assistant cook in the first canteen, just came to me and told me that the canteen's team leader Peng Rengui and two other cooking chefs did not come to work today."

"What, three people, and not one of them came?!"

He Yuzhu was shocked.

But I soon understood.

If one of the three chefs is absent, it may be that he has something going on at home and cannot come.

But if none of the three came, it would definitely smell like conspiracy.

He Yuzhu knew that this canteen was the territory of the former canteen director Zhao.

Just like the third canteen, it is He Yuzhu's base.

"Damn it! Three cooks dare to threaten me. Sister Lan, go to the third canteen and tell Ma Hua and Fatty to go to the first canteen immediately."

Liu Lan didn't know what He Yuzhu was going to do, but He Yuzhu was Li Huaide's man, so she nodded and ran to the third canteen.

He Yuzhu was the first to arrive at the cafeteria.

Canteen No. 1 is the largest of all canteens, because Workshop No. 1 and Workshop No. 2 are also the two largest workshops in the steel rolling mill.

That’s why this place has become Director Zhao’s base.

He Yuzhu walked to the back kitchen.

Several kitchen workers were cutting vegetables, but their skills were limited and the cutting was in a messy manner.

He Yuzhu asked with a frown.

"Where is your squad leader Peng Rengui?"

A kitchen worker saw Deputy Director He asking questions and spoke tremblingly.

"No... I don't know. I didn't come to work today. Master Liu and Master Tao didn't come either, and they didn't ask for leave!"

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Got it. I'll cook the food myself today. Does anyone know where your squad leader lives?"
