Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Last night, Lu Qing planted all the leftover tomato, potato and sweet potato seeds in the black soil in the space.

Growing these foods is not complicated. You just need to cut the leftover ingredients at home into pieces, wrap them in ashes and bury them in the soil.

But unfortunately, there is not much stock at home, and even such simple food is running out.

Fortunately, crops in space grow much faster than in the real world.

In one night, he harvested twice.

After this night, he accumulated 300 extraction points. Adding the previous total, he now had 702 extraction points.

As for the purple land, ordinary vegetables withered soon after being planted in it. Obviously, this land is not suitable for growing ordinary crops.

Lu Qing was thinking that if he had the chance he should go out into the wild and collect some herbs and try to grow them on the purple soil.

Early in the morning, the courtyard began to become lively.

Qin Huairu on the opposite side was waking up Banggeng and Xiaodang, while Huaihua was crying uncontrollably because of the noise.

He Yuzhu also opened the door, and the two of them faced each other in silence.

The two families live very close to each other, and they can be seen each other every day.

But the situation today is very different from yesterday.

When Lu Qing looked at He Yuzhu, he suddenly saw three words appear above his head - "Extractable!"

And there is also a string of small numbers - 678.

Lu Qing understood instantly that this meant that in order to extract He Yuzhu's talents and specialties, 678 extraction points were needed, and he already had 702 points, which was more than enough to immediately extract He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

I thought it would take a long time to accumulate enough points, but I didn't expect it to be enough overnight.

"Take He Yuzhu's cooking skills!" he muttered to himself.

The system's voice then sounded: "You will need to consume 678 extraction points, and you will receive [He Yuzhu's cooking skills]. Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Lu Qing chose without hesitation.

"Extracting..."

At this time, He Yuzhu was still full of anger and was about to find Lu Qing to attack him, but suddenly he felt a strong dizziness in his head, as if something important was pulled out from the depths of his soul.

His breathing suddenly became heavy, as if he was suffocating, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He frowned, feeling confused. Could it be that Lu Qing hit him too hard yesterday and something was wrong with his brain?

But then he became angry again: Damn Lu Qing, I must teach you a lesson today!

At the same time, Lu Qing's system prompt sounded: "Congratulations host, the extraction was successful!"

"Mastering [He Yuzhu's cooking skills] requires 50 points of mastery. Do you want to master it?"

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu's cooking skills were so cheap, Lu Qing was secretly surprised, and then responded decisively: "Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of unfamiliar culinary knowledge flooded into Lu Qing's mind, and he felt that his understanding of cooking had instantly risen to several levels.

The system then prompted: "Congratulations to the host, you have mastered [He Yuzhu's cooking skills] and obtained cooking skills level 3."

Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh. According to the system's exchange price, martial arts and medical skills require 1 points of mastery just to reach level 100. Unexpectedly, level 3 cooking only cost 50 points of mastery.

It seems that the extracted skills are indeed much cheaper than directly exchanging them through the system.

With this cooking skill, my work in the factory will definitely be much easier in the future.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a huge place.

Every morning, tens of thousands of workers pour into the factory like a tide.

Lu Qing was just one of the members of this huge team. Except for a few acquaintances, he was not familiar with most of his colleagues.

When he arrived at the factory gate, he met his old friend Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan saw him and asked with concern: "I heard that you were injured, how are you now?"

Lu Qing smiled and replied, "It's fine now."

"That's good." Zheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that you were beaten by Master He, is that true?"

Lu Qing nodded: "Yes."

Zheng Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked in confusion: "He hit you for no reason? Do you still plan to continue learning the craft from him?"

Lu Qing smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I taught him a lesson yesterday."

"What?!" Zheng Yuan was unable to react for a moment, his face full of surprise.

"Let's go, hurry up, we're going to be late." Lu Qing patted Zheng Yuan's shoulder gently and said with a smile.

Zheng Yuan looked at the calm Lu Qing in front of him and felt a little dazed.

Is this still the same Lu Qing who always doubted himself and was confused about the future?

When did he become so confident?

Where does this confidence come from?

Lu Qing was assigned to the first canteen.

There are three chefs in the canteen: He Yuzhu, Lin Bingjian and Tan Rui. Each of them has one or two apprentices who are responsible for helping to process the ingredients.

He Yuzhu's three apprentices are Ma Hua, Zheng Min and Lu Qing.

Unlike Ma Hua and Zheng Min who were disciples personally selected by He Yuzhu, Lu Qing was forced in by Yi Zhonghai. Therefore, He Yuzhu never really taught him and instead often made things difficult for him.

Once a person shows weakness, he or she becomes an easy target for others.

Ever since Lu Qing's mother sold the police station quota to Yi Zhonghai at a low price, Yi Zhonghai has been keeping an eye on Lu Qing. Whether it is life or work, he wants to intervene and reap the benefits.

Lu Qing and his mother were too honest in the past, which gave them this opportunity.

As soon as Lu Qing entered the kitchen, he met his enthusiastic colleague Liu Lan.

"Lu Qing, you're here just in time. Come and help me cut the vegetables. We have to order quickly today." Liu Lan greeted.

Lu Qing asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything special today?"

Liu Lan slapped her head and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, you didn't come yesterday. Director Li notified us that a senior leader will come to inspect the factory today, and will also eat in our cafeteria."

"So that's how it is." Lu Qing nodded and suddenly understood.

It was He Yuzhu's excellent cooking skills that won the appreciation of this senior leader.

In the drama, this leader is He Yuzhu's important backer, and every time he comes to inspect, he will ask He Yuzhu to cook.

Later, in other places, this leader often praised He Yuzhu's authentic cooking skills, and the cooking skills spread widely.

It is precisely because of this relationship that He Yuzhu appears so arrogant and domineering in the factory.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at him with admiration and even planned to let He Yuzhu take care of him in his old age.

The corners of Lu Qing's mouth rose slightly, and he was secretly proud of himself.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to deal with He Yuzhu, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

When senior leaders come, according to convention, He Yuzhu will definitely cook personally.

Normally this would be a piece of cake for He Yuzhu, but now his cooking skills are not as good as they used to be. Lu Qing is looking forward to seeing how he will cope.

"Don't just stand there, come and help." Liu Lan urged.

"Okay." Lu Qing responded with a smile, but he was thinking about what would happen next.

Not long after, Ma Hua and Zheng Min also entered the kitchen.

Ma Hua was as indifferent to Lu Qing as ever, not even looking at him, while Zheng Min greeted him politely.

Lu Qing didn't take these little things to heart and continued to concentrate on his work.

It was almost eight o'clock when He Yuzhu finally arrived.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, his eyes immediately locked on Lu Qing in the corner.

"You, come here!" He Yuzhu's voice suddenly sounded coldly, and his tone was obviously filled with anger, which instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.

Lu Qing looked calm and smiled: "Sister Liu asked me to help wash the vegetables."

"You do whatever she tells you to do? Do you still want to learn a skill?" He Yuzhu asked back in an aggressive tone.

Liu Lan felt that He Yuzhu was a bit too much, so she chimed in: "Silly Zhu, I asked Lu Qing to help me because I thought you would be cooking for the senior leaders later. What are you doing?"

He Yuzhu ignored Liu Lan, still staring at Lu Qing, and said coldly: "I don't want to argue with you today."

His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to suppress Lu Qing, "You, stand up."

Lu Qing put down the food in his hand, stood up, walked calmly to He Yuzhu, and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

He Yuzhu was even more annoyed when he saw his neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He sneered, "Don't you know that the senior leaders are coming today? The leaders have very high requirements for food. There can't be any dust in the kitchen."

He paused and continued, "Now go and clean every corner of the kitchen, especially the sewers, which must be spotless. If you don't do it well, I will report to the factory leaders and say that you are not suitable to work here. Then, you can go wherever you are supposed to go."

He Yuzhu was secretly proud of himself after he finished speaking. He originally thought that it was too easy for Lu Qing to cut vegetables, but suddenly he thought that this dirty job would be a good opportunity for Lu Qing to suffer.

The kitchen is the most difficult to maintain hygiene, especially in places with a lot of oil smoke. Thick grease accumulates on the pillars. These greases are not only extremely difficult to clean, but also dirty and smelly. It is not easy to wash off once they get all over you.

He Yuzhu thought about it while looking at Lu Qing with a gloating look, laughing in his heart: "This kid actually dared to offend me, today I will let him know what it means to suffer a bad outcome!"
