Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

After the banquet, Jia Zhang looked indignant.

She looked at her son Jia Dongxu and said,

"Dongxu, guess what? Shazhu took out 500 yuan as a share of the money.

Look at how much Xu Damao earned, but he only had 5,000!"

Jia Dongxu explained:

"You understand Shazhu's situation. He can't afford to give any more. As for Xu Damao giving 5,000, that's his business.

Besides, he is still single. No matter how much he gives this time, he can make up for it when he gets married.

This way we won’t suffer any loss! 」

Jia Dongxu's explanation made Jia Zhangshi feel relieved and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, is it me who didn't think it through, or is it you who did? You're really smart! Why didn't I think of that!"

Seeing Jia Zhang's smile, Jia Dongxu finally put his burden down - he knew his mother's temper well; if she was dissatisfied, she might do something ** again.

Only when he saw his mother calm down his anger did Jia Dongxu breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, He Yuzhu and his sister He Yushui walked into Yi Zhonghai's residence.

"Uncle, the wedding ceremony has been successfully completed, right? We are going back to work now. There is still a lot of work waiting to be done. I will not join in the fun of the bridal chamber.

'

Yi Zhonghai didn't mind after hearing this, and only told him:

"Go ahead, it's rare to find time to come back.

Don't take Xu Damao's words to heart.

You should have understood what kind of person he is by now.

'

In response to this, He Yuzhu simply said:

“Uncle, it’s okay, I don’t take it to heart, and I never intended to profit from it.

I'm currently honing my skills, and what Xu Damao said is very pertinent. There's no need to get upset about it.

It’s true that my contribution is not much, but this is my limit.”

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement:

"That's good. Just continue with your work. There are so many people here, there will definitely be people who come to disturb the bridal chamber!"

He Yuzhu also nodded:

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. I'll leave then!"

After saying this, He Yuzhu left with He Yushui.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving,

An old lady said, "Aren't you going to ask Yuzhu to visit the old lady?"

Yi Zhonghai snorted disdainfully:

"What's so good about going? The old lady has kept something in reserve.

What if we end up ignoring her?

That's why she turned around and looked for Yu Zhu.

Now what can the rain pillars do? And you have also heard the sound of the wind.

He is penniless now. If he can't find a job, making a living will be a problem. How can he have the energy to study cooking?

Don't worry, he will be back here in the near future!"

The auntie retorted: "But I took good care of the old lady. She never missed any meals!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "That old lady is not easy to deal with, she is quite smart! Don't worry, even if Yu Zhu ignores the old lady with blurred vision,

The old lady wouldn't lose her temper with him!

Because she saw the potential of He Yuzhu's superb cooking skills in the future.

Although He Yuzhu is indeed He Daqing's flesh and blood, He Daqing's excellent cooking skills cannot mean that his descendants will definitely be better than him.

So I think that old lady is just wishful thinking!"

After hearing these words, the aunt nodded silently in agreement.

He Yuzhu took his sister to Li Cunren's residence.

Once there, he discovered that this place looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

Feeling touched, he took out the key to the house, entered the house, let the rain play in the courtyard, and began to clean it.

After finishing these things, he closed the door and returned to his residence.

When he returned to the restaurant, the manager saw He Yuzhu and said to him with a smile on his face:

"Zhu Zi is back? Did he attend the wedding?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said:

“Manager, I’m back here.

I want to escort the rainwater home safely first, and then I will continue with my work! ”

The manager waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, you can take a day off.

Don’t mind, it’s not too busy right now anyway!”

He Yuzhu expressed gratitude and said:

“Thank you for the arrangement, manager!”

The manager shook his hand and said:

“No need to thank me, after all, you have been working for so many days in a row, today is your day off.

You can relax now and officially return to work from tomorrow!"

He Yuzhu nodded again.

After sending Yu Shui home safely, he went straight to find Tian Zehua.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming, Tian Zehua asked:

"Is Yuzhu back?"

He Yuzhu nodded and replied:

"came back!"

Tian Zehua then asked:

"Has anyone given you a hard time?"

He Yuzhu denied:

"No one did that. Everything went smoothly. We had our feast and returned."

But He Yuzhu did not mention that the banquet was ordinary. After all, they were an ordinary family, especially the Jia Zhang family. How could they afford to hire a chef?

But he naturally wouldn't say this out loud, and I believe others would notice it.

Hearing He Yuzhu speak, Tian Zehua asked, "What did Director Gu say?"

He Yuzhu replied: "Manager Gu asked me to take a day off!"

Tian Zehua said to him, "Since Director Gu asked you to take a day off, then go and have a good rest."

After talking with Tian Zehua for a while, He Yuzhu continued to teach He Yushui how to read.

The days passed quietly, and he would go to see if Li Cunren had returned home every once in a while.

In the blink of an eye, it is October - National Day is coming and everyone is very excited.

After two years of peace, they realized that the war was over and an era of peace had arrived.

During this period, He Yuzhu did not encounter any major problems, but his various skills were promoted to the next level.

Cultural knowledge has also been raised to the fifth level.

Now he can even teach at a university without any problem.

He Yuzhu knew that the woman he desired would require a college degree; only with that certificate could he have his ideal lifestyle.

The proficiency of cooking skills has reached 10 million; the proficiency of martial arts has reached 1 million.

Although the progress has slowed down, he is very satisfied with the current level: only cooking has not yet reached perfection, the others are already at the top, especially martial arts, which has reached the legendary "strong" realm, and ordinary attacks can no longer cause harm to him.

His cultural attainments were sufficient to get him into university—although he still had one year left; it was still October of May 1951.

There are still ten months before the exam date, so He Yuzhu is not worried about this issue at all.

He is considering whether he should learn new skills, such as medical knowledge or something else, to make good use of his special advantages.

Each advancement in each skill can help him master it more thoroughly.

It will take a long time to reach 10 million proficiency points on the skill board.

It took him about four months to reach the million-level proficiency.

Unless you devote yourself to the culinary profession, it will be difficult to break through to level ten.

The increase in three meals a day is very small.

Therefore, he did not consider this aspect for the time being. As for martial arts, he had accumulated about one million proficiency points.

At this rate, it would take several months before I could make further progress, so I decided to practice new techniques.

Seeing that most people had left, He Yuzhu said to Tian Zehua, "Master, I want to go out for a while."

Tian Zehua knew that his apprentice's cooking skills had improved to the master level and were comparable to his own.

But He Yuzhu did not reveal this information, but instead deliberately concealed his true abilities.

Tian Zehua knew very well that He Yuzhu was saving face for him.

But he was planning to mention this matter to Manager Gu in a couple of days, because if He Yuzhu's cooking skills were similar to his, he could prepare delicious meals for those rich people.

This way, they can all earn one more point.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Tian Zehua said to him:

"What are you going to do?"

He Yuzhu answered him:

"I was just thinking of buying some medical books.

Remember you said that diet therapy can also improve cooking skills?

My skills have been improving very slowly recently, so I want to learn medical knowledge.

Then delve into diet therapy!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's answer, Tian Zehua was silent for a while and then said:

“You can try, but to be honest, I’m not good at diet therapy.

Since I haven't learned these things, I can't help you with this.

'

In this regard, He Yuzhu said:

“I know.

But it doesn't matter, I can lay a solid foundation first.

Wait until the right time to try again. If there is no suitable opportunity, forget it!"

After listening, Tian Zehua nodded and said:

“Well said, opportunities often come to those who are well prepared.

There's no harm in doing some research!"

He Yuzhu then continued:

"Then I will go buy a book about medicinal herbs and study it first to get started!"

"feasible.

In that case, let’s do it quickly!” Tian Zehua agreed.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu said hello to Manager Gu and left.

After seeing He Yuzhu leave and take a step forward, Tian Zehua immediately said to Manager Gu:

"Manager Gu, congratulations!"

Facing Tian Zehua's words, Manager Gu asked with a confused look on his face:

"Congratulations? Why?"

Apparently, Manager Gu was not aware that He Yuzhu's cooking skills had improved.

To this end, Tian Zehua continued:

"Congratulations, you will have a new chef under you!"

This surprised Manager Gu, because he knew how valuable a chef was to a restaurant, and it was not something that could be found just by looking for one.

Even Tian Zehua, on top of his fixed salary, had a lot of extra things sent to him to secure his position at Hongbin Building.

So he didn't know where the compliments were.

Then Tian Zehua was asked:

"Master Tian, ​​are you going to bring another chef to our Hongbinlou?"

Tian Zehua shook his head and said:

"I'm not talking about someone, I'm talking about Zhuzi, his cooking skills have reached a high level.

Being in the same state as me,

Do you think we should celebrate?"

After hearing Tian Zehua's answer, Director Ling Gu was surprised and said:

"Really? How can Zhuzi be a master when he is only sixteen years old?"

Then Tian Zehua said to him:

"If you don't believe me, you'll know after trying his skills."

But Manager Gu still shook his hand and said:

“It’s not that I don’t trust you.

It's just incredible. After all, as a cook, you must know

How difficult it is to reach the level of a master.

Not to mention that he is a master who is only 16 years old.

Many people haven’t even fully mastered the art of preparing salads at that age!”

Hearing this, Tian Zehua nodded and echoed:

"That's right, Zhuzi is indeed talented, but I never thought that his talent would be so outstanding.

He had caught up with me in nine months,

And sooner or later I will surpass me.

'

That's why I came to talk to you about the importance of understanding his cooking skills.

If we don't take it seriously and other restaurants find out, then...

Manager Gu knew what Tian Zehua meant and quickly said:

"I must take it seriously! That's a master's craft, how can I ignore it?"

Chef rating has not yet been implemented, but the system will probably be launched in five or six years.

It is still 1951 and the rating standards are still based on the old method.

There is no unified standard system. It is nothing more than apprentice wages and regular employee wages, which are slightly adjusted year by year based on years of service.

The salary of those with outstanding technical skills is determined by the store. After all, most restaurants are privately owned and the salary structure also depends on the boss.

There are large differences in remuneration across industries.

Take Master Tian for example, his monthly salary can reach two million.

Anything less than that and he would have been wooed by his competitors.

As for He Yuzhu, he may not get such a high salary; but it is estimated that he can at least have a basic salary of around 1.45 million.

After all, although He Yuzhu is young, he is a recognized master. Giving him a low salary would be an insult to him, which would make the entire chef community unhappy.

At current salary levels, almost no one would choose to stay.

Therefore, Manager Gu was extremely excited: if his restaurant, Hongbinlou, had another cooking master, the business would surely be more prosperous.

So I hurriedly asked:

"Oh yeah, what about the raindrops?"

Tian Zehua replied with a smile:

“To be honest, Yuzhu is really a talented young man. He noticed that the improvement of his cooking skills has slowed down.

Therefore, I plan to go to the bookstore to buy some reference books, and I want to buy works on medicine and food combination to develop medicinal food! "

After hearing these words, the manager was extremely excited:

"Master Tian, ​​do you think Yuzhu can develop medicinal food?"

In response to this question, Tian Zehua replied:

“If it were someone else I might say there’s little hope, but if it’s Rain Pillar that’s the question, then there’s definitely no problem.

You also know that he improved very quickly. At first, he only had basic skills.

These skills come from the teachings of his father, He Daqing, and another chef.

However, as for He Daqing, you also know that his cooking skills are only average, not particularly outstanding.

But he can skillfully cook high-end foods such as seafood.

After all, we are located in the capital and not near the sea, so he is almost a unique choice and unrivaled in handling such ingredients;

As for the rest of the craftsmanship, it can only be considered average.

So the rain column has a foundation, but it is not solid and deep.

But the evolution over the past year is amazing, and the progress is remarkable! I just told him the direction to advance.

After that, the skills he developed on his own were no less than my level.

There is no doubt that Yuzhu’s talent is indeed far superior to mine.

You have also seen with your own eyes that Yuzhu has worked hard to improve his cooking skills and delve into medicinal cuisine. I believe he will succeed!"

Manager Gu's heart was also in turmoil. After all, when it comes to medicinal food, that is a high-end catering field.

The costs are high, but the benefits are equally great.

But neither Tian Zehua nor Manager Gu knew that after his promotion, He Yuzhu had actually mastered the techniques of medicinal cuisine.

Although he could prepare medicinal food, he knew that it would be hard to convince people if he suddenly demonstrated this skill, so he planned to systematically study medical knowledge first.

In this way, showing off your medicinal food skills at the right time won't be abrupt.

By then, even a master who claims to be the best in the world should be accepted by others.

Manager Gu said with great joy...

We will arrange an assessment for He Yuzhu after he comes back. Once his skills are recognized, He Yuzhu will become a chef of Hongbinlou.

In fact, Tian Zehua is also excited about He Yuzhu's growth. He has witnessed He Yuzhu's strength and character over the past few months.

Even though he is already at the chef level, He Yuzhu still maintains the simplicity and unpretentiousness of a student. He is proficient in the basic skills such as cutting, washing, and preparing vegetables. When students ask questions, he answers them without reservation, without any pride or arrogance of a genius.

Tian Zehua once asked the reason, and He Yuzhu replied:

“Everyone has his or her own shining points, and we should not look down on them just because of their humble status.
