Rebirth 1962: The Beginning of the Angry Fan Qin Huairu

After leaving the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu looked at the empty street in front of him and simply rode his bike straight towards Hongbin Building.

He thought that he had most of the day anyway, so when he was done strolling around, he could just get some food from the space. It just so happened that the space still had the top-quality food that the Lou family had given him last time.

So on the way, He Yuzhu thought carefully and felt that two kilograms of prawns would be enough to deal with them.

After all, although this thing is precious, it is definitely possible to get it in the city of Beijing at that time if you put in some effort.

As for other ingredients, such as chicken, duck, fish, pork and so on, he has them all in his space!

However, he happened to catch a few eels some time ago, and he thought he could use them to try out the Huaiyang cuisine he learned in his previous life.

Hongbin Building

He Yuzhu greeted the waiter familiarly, then followed a handyman to the kitchen.

"Master, are you taking a rest?"

Wu Xuan sat up as soon as he saw He Yuzhu. "Zhuzi is here, is Yu Li giving birth?"

Looking at Wu Xuan's excited face, He Yuzhu hurriedly explained: "Look at what you said, there is still a month left, I just came to see you."

"Tell me, kid, how come you have time to come and see me when you're not at work?"

"Hey, isn't this a promotion for one of our factory leaders? We may have to set up two tables for a reception tonight, and our canteen director wanted to curry favor with him, so he asked me to come out and find some rare ingredients."

Wu Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "Zhu Zi, I have to remind you that this is not only his opportunity, but also yours."

"How is it going? Do you have any idea of ​​how to get the ingredients? How about I contact your senior brother?"

"Don't worry, Master. I wouldn't dare take on that porcelain job if I didn't have the diamond drill! I got two kilograms of prawns."

"This is a rare thing!"

Wu Xuan sat there and thought for a while. "But shrimps are rare. What are you going to do?"

He Yuzhu blurted out: "Braised prawns and white-robed shrimps. These two are stewed dishes and Huaiyang cuisine respectively. The tastes can satisfy most people."

When Wu Xuan heard He Yuzhu mention these two dishes, he immediately stood up and asked curiously: "Zhuzi, who did you learn these two dishes from? Did you find a new master?"

He Yuzhu quickly made up a story: "No, this was a cooking exchange meeting held in the factory, and I learned it from a chef from another factory."

"But in exchange, I also taught him how to cook a few Sichuan dishes. Would you mind?"

"Why should I mind? Let me tell you, these two dishes are representative of their respective cuisines."

"Let's talk about Huaiyang cuisine, which has a light flavor and delicate presentation, unlike our Sichuan cuisine which is spicy and strong, so most state banquets now use Huaiyang cuisine."

"But that doesn't mean our Sichuan cuisine is not good enough. For example, boiled cabbage, steamed pork with rice flour, and sweet and sour pork are all good. Boiled cabbage is now also a staple at state banquets."

"But what I teach you is authentic Sichuan cuisine, which may have a stronger taste. Most of the food in Sijiucheng is Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine, so the taste is slightly lighter."

"Of course, there are many types of authentic Sichuan cuisine. For example, according to different regions, there are three types: Shanghebang, Xiahebang, and Xiaohebang..."

Wu Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke, and He Yuzhu became more and more fascinated as he listened. In the past, he only focused on cooking, and although he had some achievements in cooking, he never tried to understand the details of the stories behind them.

After He Daqing came back from the previous life, although he intended to teach him relevant knowledge, He Yuzhu thought that he had been cooking Sichuan cuisine for most of his life, so he had no interest in listening to He Daqing's nonsense.

But after hearing what Wu Xuan said, many of He Yuzhu's confusions were resolved. For example, the cooking methods of Kung Pao Chicken in Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine and Kung Pao Chicken in authentic Sichuan cuisine are different.

He Yuzhu had had an argument with someone else over this matter before. Both of them wanted to argue about who was better, but in the end no one could come to a conclusion.

But He Yuzhu is not completely ignorant. After all, he was reborn. His experience of living two lives has given him insights that transcend the limitations of this era.

So the master and the disciple chatted with each other and had a great time.

Before I knew it, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Master Wu, it's time to eat. It's already one o'clock. If you don't eat now, it will get cold."

Wu Xuan then glanced at the time. "Look, I was so busy chatting with you that I didn't even notice the time passing so quickly. Let's go and have something to eat before you go back."

He Yuzhu quickly refused, "Master, why don't you just forget it? It's already this late, I have to go back and prepare, otherwise I'm afraid I won't make it in time."

"Okay, look at what this has caused."

"But if you have time, you can come here and take the exam to become a Level 3 cook."

"Even if your factory cannot set such a high level by then, there will be corresponding subsidies."

"Master, look at my brain. I wanted to ask you about this before. Well, if it's possible, we can talk about it in detail another day."

"Okay, go slower on your way back!"

He Yuzhu said goodbye to Wu Xuan, rode his second-hand three-wheeled cart, and sped all the way back to the steel mill.

However, before entering the factory, he specifically found a deserted place and took out two kilograms of prawns from the space. It seemed that there were indeed too few, so he had to harden his heart and take out half a kilogram more.

He thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely raise some live fish in the space so that he could achieve seafood freedom.

Then he took out some spare ribs, and the indispensable whole chickens, ducks, fish, and various fruits and vegetables.

Finally, He Yuzhu calculated that he had about twenty yuan worth of supplies, so he rode his cart slowly into the steel rolling mill. As for the rest, he would consider it as his errand fee.

Walking on the corridor leading to the second canteen, He Yuzhu saw Ma Jian standing at the door, looking expectantly from a distance.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu held his breath and pedaled the rickshaw hard a few times, so as to make him look as tired as possible.

"Hey, Brother He, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone shopping for groceries by myself."

He Yuzhu didn't waste any time talking to him and simply pulled open the tarpaulin on the cart.

"Take a look, how are these ingredients?"

When Ma Jian saw the prawns, he became very excited.

"Hey, my dear brother He, you really helped me a lot!"

"Okay, I'll take the things back and take care of them first. I'll tell you the names of the dishes later. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, just arrange it. There will be two tables in total, and ten dishes on each table."

"Okay." He Yuzhu responded, then turned around and shouted, "Ma Hua, Xiao Wu, prepare the chicken, duck and fish. Xiao Shan and Dani, pick the shrimp lines. Aunt Pang and Liu Lan, you two go prepare the dishes."

But after hearing He Yuzhu's instructions, the others immediately started to get busy, except Song Xiaoshan and Hou Dani, who stood there at a loss.

Song Xiaoshan was the first to speak with a nervous look on his face: "Master, what is this shrimp thread?"

"Yes, Master. Don't worry if you laugh at us. We have never even seen a prawn before. We didn't know it had wires in its body."

He Yuzhu then remembered that he didn't know the method of processing prawns until more than 20 years later, so it would be a bit difficult for them to do it now.

There was no other way, he had to patiently demonstrate to the two of them. Fortunately, these two people were not stupid and they mastered the trick in a short while.

He Yuzhu saw that everyone was busy in an orderly manner, so he took out the eel from the ingredients and started processing it.

"Master, we have never done this before. How should we do it this time?"

"Just watch, I'll open your eyes today."

Seeing that the ingredients were almost ready, Ma Jian just happened to run into the kitchen.

"Zhu Zi, let's get started quickly. The leaders will be here in an hour."

He Yuzhu nodded and started to heat the oil in a pan. Then he put the processed eel pieces into the oil when it was hot. When it was cooked, he quickly added various auxiliary ingredients. Finally, he sprinkled the sauce in. The whole kitchen was instantly filled with fragrance.

Everyone stood there watching He Yuzhu's performance in dazzle. They even felt a little dizzy because He Yuzhu's movements were so fast.

"Mahua, plate."

Ma Hua calmed down and quickly put the plate away. "Master, what is this dish called?"

“Huaiyang cuisine, soft-shelled eel!”

Song Xiaoshan next to him asked, "Brother, doesn't our master always cook Sichuan cuisine? This Huaiyang cuisine is the first time I've seen it."

Ma Hua was stunned and said, "Don't blame you, this is the first time I've seen this."

He Yuzhu reminded him at this time: "Ma Hua, don't just stand there, come over here and help me."

Ma Hua immediately ran to He Yuzhu as if he was energized. Then, under He Yuzhu's instructions, dishes were placed in the steamer like an assembly line.

The other people in the kitchen were once again completely conquered by He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

It was not until Ma Jian rushed in anxiously that everyone came back to their senses!
