Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

After collecting all the weapons, He Yuzhu turned to check the remaining boxes - they were boxes of gold bars! Five large treasure chests were filled with gold bars.

He Yuzhu speculated that each gold bar should weigh about 312.5 grams according to current specifications; and each treasure chest contained as many as gold bars, for a total of gold bars.

Based on today's market price, it would only cost about 3,500 gold bars to buy a large courtyard.

This is enough to show the staggering value of this treasure.

The remaining wooden boxes contain various rare antique collections such as ancient porcelain, famous paintings, etc.

These antiques seem quite mysterious and difficult to understand for those who are new to this field, such as He Yuzhu, who knows little about them.

The items suitable to be stored in these boxes must be the valuable materials used by the black gold as activity funds.

He Yuzhu put them all into the storage space without hesitation. Although the value may not be assessed at the moment, time will give it the judgment it deserves.

After packing up the belongings, what was left were various tools. He had some knowledge of some of these instruments, but had never heard of others before.

He was not sure what the specific functions of these devices were, and he found several sets of clothes of different styles and three radio devices that had never been used.

This is obviously a place dedicated to storing material reserves, probably belonging to their organization's logistics base.

After completing the collection, He Yuzhu conducted a detailed investigation of the place. After searching for a long time, he did not find anything new, so he chose to leave.

There are lighting fixtures installed here.

If what was stored there were incendiary items, the situation would be even more critical; after all, the quantity of materials hidden underground was by no means ordinary.

He Yuzhu restored the items to normal before leaving.

Although the documents for this quadrangular courtyard house are in our hands now, it is not the right time to transfer the ownership. We will consider the transfer after the military and political management ends and the local government is established.

Actions taken at this time will only attract the attention of military personnel for investigation. If there is nothing unusual, it will be fine; however, if there is anything wrong, it will lead to a lot of trouble.

He Yuzhu certainly didn't want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble.

After making up his mind, He Yuzhu quietly left the place and locked the gate of the yard to ensure that no one could follow him.

He ran straight towards the mountain marked in the picture. At first, his speed was not fast. After he was out of the city and there was no one around, he began to move forward quickly using his leaping skills.

Despite this, it still took two hours to reach the destination.

The hidden entrance was found according to the path shown in the blueprint. The location was very hidden and it would have been almost impossible to discover it easily if He Yuzhu had not been very observant.

After opening the secret door and entering, he listened alertly to the movements around him.

After confirming that there were no signs of living creatures around, we went deeper into the cave.

He was surprised at how bright the scenery before him was.

Before your eyes is a huge and completely remodeled natural cave space.

The hole is filled with bags and pockets, taking up most of the available area.

Out of curiosity, He Yuzhu picked up one to check its contents, and was amazed to find that it was filled with top-quality rice - snow-white and translucent.

It should be noted that such high-quality rice is hard to find in the market today.

The weight of this package alone is estimated to be around 50 kilograms.

Considering this scale, the quantity in the entire warehouse should be at least 15,000 kilograms.

So he quickly packed all the food into his private storage space.

Then it was discovered that another series of pockets next to it were filled with fine white flour, each bag also weighing about 50 kilograms.

It was finally estimated that the total amount of grain stored in the storage facility was nearly 2 million kilograms of flour and 750,000 kilograms of rice.

Originally, he was thinking about how to arrange some food supplies within 1958, but he didn't expect to accomplish it easily here.

In addition to the above supplies, thirteen cannons were unexpectedly obtained, each carrying a reserve supply of twenty tons of shells.

This is too powerful. He Yuzhu put all these supplies into his pocket without hesitation.

Anyway, his storage space is endless and can hold as many things as possible.

What He Yuzhu never expected was that his behavior brought a huge impact to the Black Gold Organization.

These things are resources that the organization has obtained through hard work and tightening of belts and ties.

It was originally intended to prepare for the next important event.

Of course, this is a site within the city of Sijiu. It also exists in other areas, but they have all been dismantled by the authorities.

Let’s leave this part aside for now.

He Yuzhu collected all the supplies in the cave and turned away.

Unfortunately, there is no meat here, only food and combat equipment.

Perhaps there were other secret sites, but the oilcloth bag did not reveal any information, so he did not know about it.

But even if he knew, he would still take them all into his own pocket.

After the incident was over, He Yuzhu cleaned up the scene thoroughly and then quietly returned home.

When he got home, he was very excited.

Just by attacking one enemy, I could get so many items.

As for eating meat, money is no longer a problem. There is always a way to deal with it, whether it is buying or going into the mountains to hunt personally.

There is no rush now.

You have to know that this amount of food is probably enough for him to eat alone for his entire lifetime.

All are exquisite ingredients.

When He Yuzhu came to Tian Zehua's home, Tian Zehua asked:

"Why are you back so late?"

He Yuzhu replied:

"Teacher Li hasn't come back yet. I went to his house to clean up. It took me some time."

Tian Zehua thought it made sense. After all, he was his own master. There was no one at home during the New Year, so it was reasonable for him to clean up the house.

However, he also felt a little disappointed because he really wanted to meet and communicate with another master.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu chatted with Tian Zehua for a few words and began to tutor He Yushui in his studies.

This kind of life lasted for several days, and the New Year holiday came to an end.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Tian Zehua's daughter, Tian Ying, who had returned home with her husband and children, showed up.

After learning that He Yuzhu was his father's **, he simply said hello, quickly finished his meal and left.

Looking at his daughter who was leaving in a hurry and busy, Tian Zehua looked a little unhappy.

Yu Hui began to comfort her:

"Come on, old man, don't be unhappy. It's always been like this, isn't it? What's so hard to get used to?"

Unexpectedly, the relationship between Tian Zehua and Tian Ying was so complicated. He listened to his father's story of the past with a confused look on his face:

“That Guan Sanshui is Tian Ying’s spouse.

His father Guan Zhen and I have had a deep hatred since childhood.

That is an old feud between the two families. Our Tian family and the Guan family have always disliked each other.

I didn't expect my daughter to fall in love with someone from his family.

And she really married into that family.

I was so angry that no matter how much I objected, it was useless. She actually brought the child to my house.

Alas, there is no way, even though I am not satisfied, I have to reluctantly admit it.

After all, she is my biological daughter.

But my daughter, because of some conflicts between her father and me and her in-laws, has been unwilling to apologize and has been just resentful of me.

You can tell from her attitude that she only comes back to visit during the Chinese New Year every year. This is just to show the Guan family that she has the support of her family and cannot be bullied.

This is my position in her life, and there seems to be no other value besides this.

Sometimes I even considered cutting off all ties with this ignorant daughter.

But then I considered that if I did that, her life in the Guan family would definitely be difficult.

So I have been enduring it. Yu Hui sighed and said:

"Eiji is such a person who can't tell right from wrong. Don't get angry with her! It will only make you sick!"

He Yuzhu also said:

"Well, Master, my children always have their own destiny. She chose her own path, so she has to bear the consequences herself.

If she lives a comfortable life, it proves that she made the right choice; if she doesn't live an satisfactory life, we can bring her back to help her.

One more mouth to feed is nothing to us anyway!"

Yu Hui nodded and said:

“That’s it, even the pillars see this matter more clearly than you do, well, don’t worry about it anymore.

You have to go back to work tomorrow, so don't let your emotions affect your work performance!"

After He Yuzhu's guidance, Tian Yehua put aside his worries and went to bed early.

Before going to bed, Yu Hui looked at He Yuzhu helplessly...

"Zhu Zi, your master does this every year. After all, she is his biological daughter, and he can't let her go.

But our relationship can't be called harmonious, so Tian Yelei hasn't come back to visit in the past few years.

They are all stubborn!"

He Yuzhu didn't know what to say about this, because he didn't understand the entanglement involved, and it was even more difficult for others to comment easily.

He said to Hui:

"Master's wife, things will get better in the future!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Yu Hui said with emotion:

"I hope so!"

Then without saying much, he went to accompany Tian Yehua to rest.

The next morning, at Hongbin Building.

Tian Yehua acted as if nothing had happened and actively directed the kitchen workers to clean the kitchen, while Supervisor Gu was instructing the waiters in the front hall to clean up.

In fact, today is the day when Hongbinlou is fully opened.

In the past, Hongbinlou never took a day off even during festivals, but the situation is different now.

Almost no one came to patronize the business, and the new government took a strict view of the issue of capital exploitation, so all businesses stopped operating.

On this day, all the shops opened together.

Compared to the long vacations in the future, the vacation time at that time was not very long.

After all preparations were ready, Tian Yehua encouraged everyone and began to work on the preparations.

Seeing that everyone was busy preparing, Tian Yehua took the initiative to find Director Gu and said,

"Manager Gu.

'

As the manager, Gu clearly knows the importance of Tian Yehua in this restaurant. Without Tian Yehua as the chef, the business would definitely not be as prosperous as it is today.

Tian Yehua asked:

"Mr. Gu, I hope to nominate Zhuzi as the second chef!"

After hearing this, Manager Gu was slightly surprised:

“Second Chef Tian, ​​I know Zhuzi is your apprentice, but this young man has only been learning from you for less than three months. Are his skills really reliable?

We have to preserve the good reputation of Hongbinlou!"

Tian Zehua waved his hand and replied:

"It's okay, he is my apprentice.

If the performance is not good and damages our reputation, it will also affect my reputation.

I suggested this because I understand the strength of the pillars. If it wasn’t possible, I wouldn’t have said this.”

Manager Gu continued:

"Okay, then we'll let Zhu demonstrate his skills later. If he's satisfied, we'll do as you said!"

Tian Zehua responded:

"Okay, then it depends on how Zhuzi performs!"

While everyone was busy preparing the ingredients, Manager Gu and Tian Zehua came in.

Tian Zehua suggested to Manager Gu,

"How about ordering a few dishes for Zhuzi to cook?"

Manager Gu understood that this was the rule, so he said:

"Then give him some trouble, try Mapo Tofu and Twice-Cooked Pork!"

Everyone was slightly surprised, then Tian Zehua said:

"Zhu Zi, what are you standing there for? This is a test of your cooking skills!"

He Yuzhu didn't expect that the teacher would ask him to taste the food on the first day.

He agreed:

"Ok!"

Then start cooking the ingredients and preparing the seasonings.

Then heat the wok and add oil smoothly.

Both dishes were prepared quickly.

After putting them aside, he respectfully asked Tian Zehua and Manager Gu to taste them:

"Master, Manager Gu, please enjoy your meal!"

The two began to try the dishes.

Although Manager Gu knows nothing about cooking, he has a lot of insights when it comes to appreciating food.

After tasting it, he nodded in appreciation:

"Very good. Although it can't be compared with Chef Tian's, it is good enough to be the sous chef!"

You know, not every customer has the good fortune to taste Tian Zehua's delicacies.

Ordinary customers usually only enjoy the meals prepared by the second chef.

As for Tian Zehua's superb cooking skills, they are exclusively reserved for the nobles in certain high-end private rooms.

Of course the prices are different.

If Tian Zehua cooked all the dishes by himself, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Therefore, the second chef here can also receive a fixed salary.

So Manager Gu announced:

"From now on, Zhuzi, you will be our sous chef, and your salary will be the same as everyone else, 330,000, do you agree?"

He Yuzhu readily agreed.

"Of course I agree. How could I refuse the opportunity given to me by Master and Manager Gu?"

After hearing He Yuzhu's answer, Manager Gu suggested:

"Then let's all taste it!"

This is a common practice in the industry, because He Yuzhu was not appointed as the second chef just because Manager Gu recommended him.

After all, chefs still need to speak with their skills.

Other colleagues did not understand how He Yuzhu could become a sous chef in just three months.

But they tried it with some doubt.

Everyone who has tasted He Yuzhu's cooking is amazed by it.

It turns out that he was able to achieve this in a very short time!

Even if they are reluctant, their impeccable skills make people convinced.

Seeing that no one expressed any objection, Manager Gu asked again:

"If anyone objects, please speak up!"

No one stood up after hearing his words **.

He then confirmed:

Well, if someone's cooking skills are as good as He Yuzhu's now, then he can be promoted to sous chef like He Yuzhu.

If you have skills like Master Tian, ​​you can become a chef.

The only criterion for measuring a person here is to look at the real skills in his hands.

Since no one here objects, from today on, He Yuzhu, you will officially become the sous chef!"

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I will never bring shame to you and Master Gu!"

Manager Gu nodded slightly and said, "Then everyone, go back to your work."

After saying that, he and Tian Zehua left the kitchen together.

After leaving the presentation area, Manager Gu couldn't help but praise Tian Zehua, saying, "Master Tian, ​​you are really brilliant. You helped Xiao Zhu reach such a level so quickly."

Tian Zehua waved his hand and responded: "You have been in the kitchen during this period, so you must have seen it clearly. I didn't deliberately teach him anything.

He was able to grow entirely through self-study and personal understanding.

Whenever I prepare ingredients or make a dish, I have no intention of keeping it secret, and anyone can see the entire process.

However, even though he was very busy with work, He Yuzhu always seized the opportunity to observe, and was more focused, especially during the most critical links.

This also contributed to his rapid progress.

To be honest, I never expected that there would be such a talented person in the world.
