Yi Zhonghai explained the situation to her: "Zhu Zi went to Tianjin to learn skills, and brought He Yushui with him. When he returns after completing his studies, he will be able to become the deputy chef of Hongbinlou. No one will believe the rumors you told us now. Zhu Zi is not in the imperial capital at all!"

The old lady sighed and said, "That's true. We'll have to wait. We can only wait until he comes back from Tianjin. It's a pity that we missed such a good opportunity!" Yi Zhonghai comforted her:

"Madam, I think Dongxu is a good guy, and his wife is also very filial. I have observed him for so long and chose Dongxu on purpose.

That Jia Zhang is greedy for money, and she can be sent away with a little money. "The deaf old lady shook her head:

"I know Miss Zhang very well. That person has a bottomless appetite and it is impossible to satisfy her.

I think Sha Zhu is easier to control. As long as you make him trust you, there will be no problem! "Hearing the deaf old lady say this, Yi Zhonghai responded:

"Then we'll have to wait for Shazhu to come back." The deaf old lady nodded helplessly:

"It can only be the."

The deaf old lady stopped talking and fell into deep thought. Yi Zhonghai looked at her and said:

"Old lady, if everything is ok, I will go back first." The deaf old lady nodded:

"Let's go!"

He Yuzhu didn't know that it was because of his previous arrangement that the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai gave up considering him. The timid He Daqing decided to live with He Yuzhu, which also allowed him to avoid some calculations. He Daqing said:

"Zhuzi, what if that hypocrite Yi Zhonghai takes my money?" He Yuzhu replied:

"We are not short of money now. If you don't want to go back, let him keep the money for the time being. Did you keep the remittance slip?"

He Daqing nodded and replied, "I've kept them all."

He Yuzhu continued:

"This is all we need. If he dares to have any evil intentions towards us again, these evidences will be enough to deal with him!"

After hearing this, He Daqing was stunned for a moment and asked:

"It's fine if you just want the money back. Why do you have to give it back? After all, we live in the same yard. Let's not make things awkward, right?"

Hearing He Daqing's words, He Yuzhu remembered that at this time people were more inclined to solve problems privately rather than resorting to legal means.

But the future He Yuzhu felt that they could not just give in. Everyone should take responsibility for their mistakes and be punished. However, He Daqing thought that this was too extreme. After all, the social atmosphere at that time was still to avoid being involved with the government.

With this in mind, He Yuzhu said:

"That's what you think. As long as they don't mess with me, we'll be fine. If they mess with me again, I won't tolerate it anymore!"

In fact, He Yuzhu had only traveled to this year for a few years and did not know the relationships in this courtyard very well. He thought that as long as he interacted less with these people, they would gradually forget about each other. After he graduated from university and mastered various skills.

At that time, I will become a person who has the ability to rewrite the destiny of the country, and the ordinary people in the courtyard will have nothing to do with it.

Since there is a huge class disparity, there is no need to care about or retaliate against some small tricks.

He Yuzhu thought that if he had that much time, he might as well practice more and improve his skills. Only by strengthening his own strength can it be truly useful. Although this was his original intention, after communicating with He Daqing, he found that although he had lived in a new environment for two years, he still had not integrated into it. Although he had He Yuzhu's memories, his inner concepts were still closer to his previous life.

Now He Yuzhu understands why he feels so out of place. It's not because of his personal awkwardness, but because his thoughts, concepts and values ​​are different from those of people at that time, which makes him feel out of place.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu said, "Okay, let's go eat something and rest early. We have to catch the six o'clock train tomorrow morning, and then go back!"

After hearing this, He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu in surprise. You know, He Yuzhu has changed a lot. In the past, when he encountered a problem, he always solved it directly instead of thinking with his head. Otherwise, why would everyone say he was a rough man?

But now he no longer uses force to solve problems, but hopes to solve them through legal means. He Daqing thought it was because He Yuzhu had changed after studying. But in fact, even at that time, many college students would not think so. Most people would solve problems on their own and would not seek help from the government unless it was absolutely necessary. He Daqing was not clear about this because he was not educated.

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu, He Yushui and He Daqing returned to the quadrangle near Huaqing University in the imperial capital. Looking at the quadrangle in front of him, He Daqing couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh, this yard is really big!" He Yuzhu replied:

"Of course. This is the business of Manager Gu's family. They have been running restaurants for generations. Isn't it natural for them to buy such a large yard?"

He Daqing asked doubtfully, "You are allowed to live in such a big yard?" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, you can find a room and clean it up yourself. You can choose the front yard, the back yard or the small garden. You can decide what you want to do, as long as you don't make it too ostentatious." Then He Daqing asked again:

"If I find a wife here, can I live in the yard?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said:

"If you get married, you can find another place, or even live in your original residential area. Anyway, it's your own business and you make the decision."

He Daqing nodded. In fact, He Daqing already had a house in the capital, so he was just surprised by such a large mansion and never considered taking it for himself. Moreover, it was not expensive to buy a courtyard at that time, and a house was only about 300,000 or 400,000 yuan. Even if we don't mention He Yuzhu's salary, He Daqing's annual income alone could buy two or three properties. So He Daqing was only surprised by this courtyard, and had no intention of taking it for himself. And He Yuzhu once again instructed:

"Dad, you have to be careful about my affairs and don't tell anyone else!" He Daqing nodded, and He Yuzhu continued, "Okay, then you pack up first, I have something to take care of."

He Daqing wanted to ask what was going on, but thinking of He Yuzhu's behavior over the past two days, he realized that He Yuzhu had grown up and could handle many things on his own, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He Daqing never asked about other people's affairs. He knew that as a chef, if he was too nosy, he would not last long. He just needed to cook well, not ask who the customer was, and pay for the meal. This was his way of dealing with the world, and it was also the code of conduct for many chefs at that time. After all, in this turbulent era, being too curious could bring trouble.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu found a deserted place, took out his bicycle, and went to the butcher Zhang. Butcher Zhang saw He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you're back?" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zhang, we'll continue tomorrow."

Butcher Zhang nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, everything will remain the same."

During this period, he felt very relaxed in cooperating with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu never owed him money and never asked him for details. Both parties did not interfere with each other's business. This amount of meat was enough for ordinary people, but it was not much for restaurants. Butcher Zhang had asked around, but he had not heard of any restaurant that made particularly delicious dishes.

In fact, if not, people would have spread the news about this top chef long ago. So these foods were probably prepared for his cooking friends. But he didn't care, and didn't know that these meats were actually the future food stored by He Yuzhu.

After talking with Zhang the Butcher, He Yuzhu went to Hongbinlou again and learned that Yi Zhonghai had looked for him. The staff there said that he was learning skills in Tianjin. This meant that he would not need to return to that compound frequently in the next few years. Then he went home.

When he got home, he saw that his sister He Yushui seemed a little unhappy. He walked over and hugged his sister, and asked softly: "Yushui, what happened?"

He Yu Shui cried and said, "Dad doesn't love me anymore!" He Daqing sighed helplessly. He Yuzhu was stunned and asked, "Yu Shui, why do you think so?" He Yu Shui sobbed and replied, "Dad's cooking is not as delicious as my brother's. Your cooking used to be much better than mine, but now it's not as good as my brother's. This shows that you don't love me anymore!"

Hearing what He Yushui said, He Yuzhu was surprised. He didn't expect that He Yushui liked food so much when he was a child. He Yushui felt that He Daqing's cooking skills far surpassed He Yuzhu's.

Because of this, he had been looking forward to He Daqing's return home, hoping to eat the delicious food he cooked. However, this time, the food He Daqing cooked was completely different from what he imagined, so he cried sadly. He Yuzhu asked:

"Yushui, do you think my brother's cooking is not tasty?" He Yushui quickly replied:

"No! It's really delicious, the best I've ever had!"

He Yuzhu then asked:

"Maybe your brother cooks better than dad, so you don't want to eat dad's cooking that much, but it doesn't mean dad doesn't care about you anymore."

After hearing his brother's explanation, He Yushui said:

“I see. Just like when I study, I work hard to improve myself. If I perform well, I can make progress, right?”

He Yuzhu nodded and praised him for being smart.

"That's right, you really understand the truth. So Yushui hopes that brother will cook some food later, okay?"

After getting a positive answer, He Yuzhu immediately said that he would cook for him.

When he saw He Daqing, who seemed a little lonely, He Yushui trotted over to him, took He Daqing's hand and asked,

"Dad, I'm sorry, please don't dislike me, okay!"

He Daqing hugged Yu Shui and stroked him gently, saying:

"Yu Shui, it's not that you did anything wrong, but Dad needs to continue to improve his cooking skills. I'll give you a better one next time, okay?" He Yu Shui agreed and said that he would be obedient in the future.

The father's heart was filled with tenderness when he saw such a sensible daughter.

While I was happily interacting with my daughter, my brother suddenly called out, "Dad, Yushui, come over for dinner!"

The child who was called quickly grabbed the adult's hand and said expectantly:

"Come on, my brother's cooking is really delicious!"

He Daqing, an experienced chef, was also looking forward to this. He wanted to verify what the so-called "master-level craftsmanship" was like. He had only heard of it before but had never seen it.

After arriving at the dining room, He Yuzhu had already arranged everything and invited his father to taste his work.

"Dad, please take a seat and have a taste!"
