Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

These are constantly changing factors that require you to figure out and experience them yourself.

Different materials have different processing methods, and even the same ingredients will require different processing steps due to differences in storage time, environment, temperature and other factors.

There are no fixed rules to teach; it's an art or a talent.

With your current strength, you have reached the standard to become a master.

But since you have chosen to stay and learn from me, I will find a chance to discuss with Manager Gu and transfer you to the second furnace.

With your level, you are qualified to be the head chef in a small restaurant.

But it will not be easy to advance further in the future, so you must be fully prepared mentally."

Hearing these words, He Yuzhu replied:

“Thank you for the guidance, Master.

I didn’t have a clear goal before, but now I know the direction!”

Tian Zehua nodded with satisfaction and said:

“Okay, now that you know the way forward, let me teach you two more things.

You need to constantly explore the changing patterns of ingredients under different cooking conditions.

Cooking also has five basic tastes: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, which correspond to gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

No matter what kind of knowledge it is, it cannot deviate from its essence.

In addition, there is also a learning path for medicinal diet.

If you want to go deeper, you may also need to dabble in medicine.

If you don’t want to go that route, you can focus on the basic five flavors and how to achieve different flavor combinations by controlling the cooking time and seasoning combination.

Do you get me? "

He Yuzhu replied:

"Understood, Master.

I understand! "

Then Tian Zehua said:

"Come, let's sit down and taste Yuzhu's cooking!"

After hearing this, Yu Hui and He Yushui sat down.

He Yuzhu said to Tian Zehua:

"Master, please enjoy your meal!"

Tian Zehua nodded and said:

"Okay, let's eat!"

Then everyone started to eat, and no one spoke much, observing the tradition of not talking during meals and before going to bed.

After finishing the meal, He Yuzhu asked:

"Master, where are the son and daughter you mentioned before? It's the New Year, why don't they come back?"

Tian Zehua explained:

"My son has been serving in the military for many years and I haven't contacted him since then. If he hadn't sent me a letter every year to let me know he was safe, I really wouldn't know where he was.

As for my daughter, she has already married someone else, and she won’t be back until the second day of the Chinese New Year.”

He Yuzhu said:

"Oh, so that's how it is. Nowadays, the military has a lot of confidentiality regulations. Maybe your soldier ** is not convenient to tell you the specific situation."

Tian Zehua echoed:

“I think so too.

But as long as he is still alive, it is not easy to be alive in this era!"

He Yuzhu sighed:

"Indeed.

In our Hongbin Restaurant, we often get to see snippets of events. People often die here, not to mention other places!"

Tian Zehua warned him:

"Just listen to the news. Don't get involved in this kind of thing. As chefs, we just need to prepare the food. Don't ask who the diners are."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the important turning point he was facing actually came from his master.

Then, He Yuzhu nodded carefully:

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Tian Zehua said:

"Shizhu, you should know that as chefs we are exposed to many things that others are not aware of.

Just know it. If you spread it around, even if you are an excellent cook,

No one dares to hire you.

Remember, a chef relies on his skills, not on any tricks.

If you want to be a good chef, you have to constantly improve your skills so that everyone can enjoy the meal.

After all, everyone needs food. As the saying goes, “food is the first necessity of the people.”

Well.

No matter if you are good or bad, honest or evil,

Everyone needs to eat.

If you have superb skills, you can earn a living.

This is the true meaning of a professional craftsman.

If you get too involved with other things, you lose your purity, and it’s hard for a craftsman with insufficient purity to reach the pinnacle of his craft.”

After hearing what Tian Zehua said, He Yuzhu understood why his master's cooking skills were so outstanding.

Although I have not yet reached the level of a master, I firmly believe that I will soon.

The master will then be able to transcend the current stage and become a master craftsman.

Anyone who reaches the Grand Master level in any profession can establish his own school.

For example, the Tan family cuisine passed down by my father was created by a master chef.

This level is quite difficult to break through.

However, He Yuzhu knew in his heart that it was not a difficult task for him.

As long as he continues to accumulate experience, the system will help him gain the necessary understanding at the appropriate time.

Then you can step into the threshold of the master level.

Of course he wouldn't say this.

Seeing that his apprentice listened carefully, Tian Zehua was very pleased and then said,

“Go and rest.

You have to get up early tomorrow and go shopping for New Year's items with me."

He Yuzhu nodded and replied:

"Okay, master."

After saying this, he said goodbye to his master and went back to sleep.

Watching He Yuzhu leave, Yu Hui sighed and said:

"My Lord, this stone pillar is truly a prodigy. It has only been a short time since it was built, and it is almost as famous as your chief **."

Tian Zehua nodded in agreement.

“He is truly unrivalled. Among so many disciples, he is the only one who has the potential to enter the realm of a master craftsman in the future.

At that time, even if I couldn't take part in the cooking for the state banquet, I could count on my students to do it for me;

It now seemed as if he had already learned most of it without further instruction;

The true test of talent will come next year.”

After hearing what Tian Zehua said, Yu Hui also agreed and said, "Yes,

We'll see next year! By the way, a reminder: when you go shopping for New Year's goods tomorrow, you might as well buy some more delicacies.

It's not easy for Shizhu and his sister, and Uncle He is really heartless."

Then Tian Zehua spoke,

"He abandoned his own son. One day he will regret his decision!"

"

Hearing what Tian Zehua said, Yu Hui also agreed and said,

"There will definitely be a day when he will suffer the consequences.

With a talent like Zhu'er, we'll see how he handles it when he reaches the Grand Master level."

Tian Zehua changed the subject and said:

"Don't mention that. Just make a list of the things you want to buy tomorrow and give it to me. He Yuzhu and I will go shopping tomorrow!"

Yu Hui agreed and said:

"All right!"

……

The next day, He Yuzhu said to his sister He Yushui:

"Rainwater, you have to stay at home today.

I'm going to go shopping. I'll continue teaching you to read when I get home, okay?"

He Yushui nodded in agreement:

"Well, go ahead, brother. I will be obedient at home!"

After hearing his sister's assurance, He Yuzhu felt at ease and went out with Tian Zehua.

As soon as he left home, Tian Zehua said:

"Rainwater is so adorable, she is so sensible!"

He Yuzhu sighed and said:

“Oh, there’s nothing I can do.

The rain is still so light now, and my father suddenly disappeared, so she is unsure.

Now she follows me all the time, fearing that I will abandon her!"

Tian Zehua said:

"Rain Pillar, you won't just leave the rain there, will you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said:

"How is that possible? She is my biological sister.

If I don't take care of the rain, how can I be worthy of my dead mother?

Don't worry, I will do my best to make the rain bigger!"

After hearing this, Tian Zehua nodded in agreement:

"I believe you can do it."

He knew that He Yuzhu would take He Yushui with him wherever he went. In his brother's heart, this sister was like a treasure.

Therefore, Tian Zehua believed the authenticity of his promise.

The two chatted and laughed as they went to the shopping place.

As they were walking, several gunshots startled both of them.

He Yuzhu immediately pulled Tian Zehua to find a place to hide without thinking.

In a hidden place, Tian Zehua said helplessly:

"What's going on here?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Isn't it the same as always? It's probably another hostile element or some ** person.

They only cause trouble for others.

You keep destroying this and that all the time, but in the end, what will happen? You can’t change anything.”

Tian Zehua agreed and said:

"That's right.

If these people could think more rationally like you, there wouldn't be so much chaos in the world."

Suddenly, "Da Da Da Da"

There were bursts of noisy sounds from tricycles and cars, and a group of soldiers were rushing here at high speed.

Looking at the many soldiers on the street, He Yuzhu said:

"It seems that this matter is very serious. So many troops have been mobilized."

Tian Zehua said regretfully:

"What bad luck! I just wanted to go shopping for the New Year, but I have to face something like this!"

He Yuzhu said:

"For now, let's just stay calm here.

We have to be law-abiding citizens and not hinder the police in their investigation. We will leave after the case is over."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang.

There was a noise nearby.

The two were stunned for a moment: they saw a man of medium build in gray clothes falling not far away.

Although this man is short, he is not fat, and his muscular arms show that he is trained.

He was holding a **, and when he turned around, he saw He Yuzhu and Tian Zehua.

Without hesitation, he intended to take the two men hostage.

In an instant, this man rushed directly towards He Yuzhu and Tian Zehua.

Faced with the sudden scene, Tian Zehua seemed panic-stricken.

He Yuzhu never thought that just by watching would bring him trouble.

But he was absolutely unwilling to passively become the other party's hostage.

When the other party approached the two men and was about to take them hostage, He Yuzhu seized the opportunity and kicked the intruder hard.

This man didn't expect that this child, He Yuzhu, actually knew martial arts. He was caught off guard and his arm was broken by He Yuzhu's kick.

In order to protect his master who knows no martial arts from being implicated, He Yuzhu attacked without hesitation, and used the Bagua Step to flexibly move in front of the enemy and perform a hard collision.

boom!

The man was knocked to the ground immediately, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

boom!

A package fell to the ground, attracting He Yuzhu's attention and he quickly picked it up.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu stopped attacking and remained on high alert, looking around.

Tian Zehua was shocked to see He Yuzhu's performance.

He Yuzhu has only been practicing martial arts for less than a month, but he has already acquired such strength; Tian Zehua witnessed both his speed and skills clearly.

Obviously, this is not something that ordinary people can do easily. It requires rigorous training, but He Yuzhu defeated his opponent with just simple kicks and collisions.

As He Yuzhu remained on guard, a large number of troops swarmed in and pointed their weapons at He Yuzhu and the people who had been defeated before.

Faced with this situation, He Yuzhu immediately raised his hands to show that there was no threat: "Brothers, we are all friendly forces.

He suddenly attacked us, and for my master's sake, I had to fight back.

But please rest assured, I didn't kill him, I just made him unable to move temporarily."

A leader appeared: "Put down your guns! How can we point guns at our comrades? I saw the whole thing happen. These two had already hidden before I fired the gun.

It was the rebels' attempt to take them as hostages that led to the resistance.

By the way, young man, what is your name?"

He Yuzhu replied: "Hello brother, my name is He Yuzhu, and this is my master.

He is the chef of Hongbinlou!"

Everyone felt relieved after learning He Yuzhu's identity.

As we all know, Hongbin Building is one of the intelligence points on our side. Although it is secretive, it is known to this **.

All the people who work there have been hired after going through a rigorous vetting and having a clean background.

The leader continued, “It is understandable that although you are not at fault, you still need to make a record with our management, especially regarding your martial arts ability.

But please don't worry, it's just a simple procedural issue!"

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

A staff member ran over and said, "Team Leader Gu, Hei Jin has fainted!"

Team leader Gu looked at He Yuzhu thoughtfully - he was surprised that the enemy was so resilient.

It only took two hits for the enemy to fall down.

But he asked cautiously: "Brother, I really only touched him twice!"

Team leader Gu nodded and replied: "Yes, I saw it all."

So Minister Gu stared at He Yuzhu in silence.

He Yuzhu seemed quite embarrassed, and only heard Minister Gu slowly say:

"Okay, this has nothing to do with you.

You are not responsible for what happened today, that guy with the black metal logo did kill a lot of people.

Come with me and tell me your situation in detail."

Helpless, He Yuzhu had to nod and agree.

Tian Zehua also stepped forward and said to Minister Gu:

"Leader, Zhuzi acted out of his desire to protect me. I am truly sorry!"

Minister Gu waved his hand and said comfortingly:

“Comrade, you don’t need to apologize, I’ve already said it has nothing to do with you.

This is all your own fault.

Don't worry, we are just recording it as a routine matter."

The two nodded in agreement and left.

After arriving at the military and political administration department, Minister Gu prepared hot drinks for the two.

Then he asked:

"Comrades, please don't be too reserved. I want to know if this young man, He Yuzhu, knows martial arts?"

He Yuzhu responded:

"This is what my master taught me. I used it for the first time today. I didn't expect the opponent to be so weak!"

Minister Gu looked at He Yuzhu solemnly and said:

"With a flying kick and an iron elbow, even the most agile person would have difficulty resisting.

What is your current level? "

He Yuzhu scratched his head with some difficulty and said:

"I'm not sure, Master thinks it has reached the stage of transformation of strength!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Gu was stunned and asked:

"Hua Jin?!"

He Yuzhu reaffirmed:

"According to what Master said, this is the level! But I didn't try my best to resist that person.

My master always taught us to avoid conflicts as much as possible.”

Minister Gu was surprised by this statement and asked:

"How old are you now?"

He Yuzhu responded:

"Fifteen. I'll be sixteen by the end of this year!"

When Minister Gu heard He Yuzhu's answer, he was even more surprised - he had reached the level of Hua Jin at such a young age.

It should be noted that it is rare for people of the same age to achieve overall strength integration.

While traditional martial arts training often requires many years to enter the inner strength stage, He Yuzhu was able to reach the inner strength level at the age of sixteen.

Tian Zehua did not know the truth. Minister Gu asked Tian Zehua:

"Comrade Tian Zehua, please allow me to confirm this?"

Tian Zehua nodded in agreement:

"Yes."

Minister Ji Zhigu asked:

"Are you Comrade He Yuzhu's master?"

Even though Tian Zehua didn't quite understand the realm, he knew its meaning.

So Tian Zehua responded:
