Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills

When he arrived near the Taoist temple, He Yuzhu made a careful investigation and found that there was no one inside, so he temporarily felt relieved.

However, this also aroused his curiosity.

He firmly believed that the map attached to the enemy spy was not marked there meaninglessly, and that it must contain unknown secrets.

With these thoughts in mind, He Yuzhu mustered up the courage to walk into the Taoist temple.

As he walked across a patch of ground, his brows furrowed, because his keen martial arts skills noticed that there seemed to be a hole under the floor.

So he immediately tried to uncover the tiles and enter the underground secret passage.

This secret passage is not very long, only about ten meters.

Then he saw what he saw, and he sat up in shock. The tunnel was filled with weapons - boxes piled high in piles.

He Yuzhu couldn't imagine who hid such weapons here and what their purpose was.

After confirming this horrific scene, he hurriedly evacuated and repaired the scene after a tense moment.

On the way back, He Yuzhu gradually sorted out the clues of this discovery.

He speculated that the two captured spies were probably intelligence messengers who placed the weapons here to pass on the information to the spies lurking in the city. These equipment were enough to cause serious chaos with disastrous consequences.

After returning to the city, He Yuzhu did not go home immediately, but quickly went to the Military Control Commission.

After all, he didn't know whether the spies in the city had learned that the messenger had been captured.

If the news spread, it would lead to disaster, whether it was the evacuation of the city or the measures they took to deal with the weapons.

Listening to Liu Jun's concerns, He Yuzhu also felt scared.

He touched his head awkwardly and smiled: "Uncle Liu, I was indeed too excited at the time and ignored the danger."

He stressed the hidden dangers of finding so many weapons nearby and urged Liu Jun to report the matter as soon as possible, emphasizing its importance.

Hearing this, although Liu Jun was somewhat helpless about He Yuzhu's kind reminder, he still stated that he would definitely report it to his superiors.

But he also warned He Yuzhu that there would be no action in the near future, and he himself should not spread the news casually.

The most important task at present is to withdraw the weapons first and disrupt the enemy's deployment.

But their personnel remained in the city.

"There may be unexpected situations in the future."

"The most urgent task now is to secure this territory and wait for the enemy to reappear. Then we will do our best to capture him."

He Yuzhu understood Liu Jun's idea after hearing this - he was planning to lay bait for a long time to catch big fish.

He acknowledged that Liu Jun's approach was visionary.

As long as we capture him alive, we will be able to get more information.

At that time, it would be entirely possible to capture all the enemy spies in the surrounding city areas in one fell swoop.

After thinking about this, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement without saying anything more.

Matters like this would be better handled by the experts of the Military Control Commission.

After all, he had reported everything, and the follow-up had nothing to do with him.

"In that case, Uncle Liu, I'll leave first.

If there is any new situation, I will let you know. "

Liu Jun nodded and watched He Yuzhu leave the control organization.

It was almost the Spring Festival, and work at Tianxianglou was even busier.

Chinese people value interpersonal relationships, so naturally many people visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.

As a hospitable person in the urban area of ​​Beijing, how can I neglect my relatives from the countryside? So, which restaurant is popular recently?

It must be Tianxianglou who assisted the control organization in capturing the enemy!

Therefore, the restaurant was packed with guests every day, and the boss was very happy to see the customers talking about the legendary stories of catching enemy spies in his restaurant.

Although the store was bustling at first due to He Yuzhu's joining, the difference now is simply worlds apart.

At first, we were able to achieve basic saturation.

However, if the hall and private rooms are full, guests will go to other places to dine.

What is the current situation? These customers would rather wait in a long line than go to his store! If this trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before his Tianxianglou becomes the number one restaurant in Beijing!

He Yuzhu is really a treasure! I must cultivate this kid well in the future.

He Yuzhu had no idea what his boss was thinking. In the kitchen backstage, facing the menu and Master Zhao's face full of wry smile, he felt the same way.

One can imagine how hard they work.

If the boss hadn't promised to hire a new chef next year, they would have been unable to bear the pressure and would have planned to quit.

Other chefs cook for money, but they burn their lives! The woks almost make them spark.

Even though He Yuzhu's physical condition has greatly improved and Master Zhao has dedicated half his life to the job of chef, the two are still so tired that they just want to fall headfirst into the bed when they get home, and even lifting their arms seems extremely difficult.

It was not until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month that the two of them were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

If he continued to work so hard, He Yuzhu would not be able to hold on any longer.

People at that time had not yet formed the habit of eating New Year's Eve dinner outside, so from New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the first lunar month, Tianxianglou was closed.

When it was the last shift, He Yuzhu and Master Zhao had happy smiles on their faces, holding the 100-yuan red envelopes and many New Year's goods that the boss had carefully prepared for the two chefs.

"Master, don't forget to come to my house tomorrow to celebrate the New Year!" He Yuzhu's words made Master Zhao smile and agree.

Seeing He Yuzhu and Master Zhao leaving the store with various gifts, the other staff looked on with envy.

Although the boss controlled food rations precisely, there was still some leftovers.

Most of the high-quality ingredients became the chefs' spoils, and with the generous bonus, the two chefs will definitely have a good meal this Spring Festival!

But the guys didn't lose out either. After all, they had surplus supplies and extra red envelopes, so they had a pretty good year.

They have worked very hard recently, and even the boss made an exception and gave each of them an extra month's salary as a reward.

He Yuzhu and Master Zhao generously shared the little remaining ingredients with others.

Life was pretty good during this time.

When He Yuzhu returned to the compound on a bicycle loaded with food, the neighbors' reactions shocked everyone, and they were all curious about what kind of treatment this was.

On ordinary days, the abundance of He Yuzhu's food is already astonishing. At this moment, the various meats for the New Year add up to more than 100 kilograms.

Most of these come from cattle and sheep, so you can imagine their value.

Seeing this scene, most of the neighbors felt nothing but envy and jealousy, after all, they had not forgotten the losses that the Jia family had suffered before.

Despite this, Jia Dongxu's eyes were still filled with resentment.

This year has been a hard time for the Jia family.

Originally, there were only mother and son left at home, but now Zhang has been sent to labor camp and can only come back during the Spring Festival, leaving Jia Dongxu alone at home.

Finally, he had no choice but to seek help from Yi Zhonghai and his wife, who also worked at the steel mill, and the old mute, and spend the New Year together with them.

Even though the Yi family's New Year's goods were already considerable, how could he visit the family as an apprentice and be penniless? So he gritted his teeth and took half of the five catties of pork that he was given, which made him feel so distressed that it seemed as if his heart was bleeding.

If we celebrate the New Year at home, how can we finish all the meat? We can also enjoy a few more sumptuous meals.

When Jia Dongxu saw He Yuzhu returning with so much meat, his jealousy became even more bitter.

However, he also knew that he couldn't stir up trouble casually.

He could still vividly remember how his mother was exposed by the He family. If he provoked the other party at this time, it was hard to predict whether that He family would retaliate against him.

But if he let He Yuzhu go like this, it would be impossible for him. Why could he, He, enjoy such a good life? He urgently needed to find a helper to target He Yuzhu.

His thoughts turned back to Yi Zhonghai, and he began to secretly plan a strategy.

Yi Zhonghai, who was busy cleaning the gate, suddenly felt a chill on his back and couldn't help wondering.

When he turned around, he saw Jia Dongxu staring at him with a strange expression.

The weird look in Jia Dongxu's eyes made Yi Zhonghai doubt.

Did he really blame him for the Zhang incident last time? But wasn't that all due to He Yuzhu's intervention?

Yi Zhonghai looked at this man who might be his only hope. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, why are you alone? In this weather, why are you wandering outside instead of staying at home to warm yourself by the fire?"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Dongxu woke up as if from a dream. His thoughts instantly appeared on his face, and he looked a little melancholy: "Master, I actually encountered some difficult things... I am not young anymore, and there are not many relatives at home. I decided to let my mother help me find a good wife after the New Year.

But the problem is that the family is now crowded and it may be difficult to find a place to marry a daughter-in-law."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately understood what Jia Dongxu was hinting at: he wanted a bigger residence.

For a moment, he couldn't help but regret that he hadn't thought of it earlier.

No matter what, the problems with Jia Dongxu must not be allowed to occur again.

Can this matter really be handled so easily?

Although He Yuzhu's words just now were not pleasant to the ear, he spoke the truth.

Yi Zhonghai is just an ordinary worker, not a member of the privileged class.

If there were a bigger and better house available, he would definitely settle his own family there first.

What's more, Jia Dongxu was still hoping for good things to happen.

Now the rumor that Jia Zhang had been arrested had spread throughout the street.

Who would be willing to marry their daughter to a man whose mother is a prisoner? Jia Dongxu's expectation of such a situation is undoubtedly wishful thinking.

Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself, but of course he didn't have the courage to speak his thoughts out loud.

But after all, he had come to ask, and Jia Dongxu had asked for help, so it was difficult for him to remain silent.

After deep thought, Yi Zhonghai's face showed an embarrassment. "Dongxu, I know your situation very well."

“If you had brought it up before the end of the year, I might have negotiated with the factory management.”

"Maybe I can even get you a more spacious house."

"But the steel mill has already gone on holiday, so even if I wanted to discuss it, I can't do it."

Yi Zhonghai had actually politely declined the request because of his limited ability to handle the matter.

However, Jia Dongxu was not discouraged after hearing this. There was even a glimmer of success in his eyes.

"Master, I understand all of this very well."

“But changing housing in a factory is really exhausting and laborious.

Besides, we don’t have any extra rooms in our yard, and it will be very inconvenient for me to take care of you when you get older.”

"I think that place in the yard is actually not bad."

When he heard that he would be responsible for his retirement, these words touched the softest part of Yi Zhonghai's heart and made him feel warm.

Therefore, when the question of houses in the courtyard was raised, he nodded easily: "If there is a suitable house in the courtyard, it will be relatively simple."

"Master is an elder in this courtyard and has some prestige."

Jia Dongxu continued: "Just tell me which company you want to exchange with."

As Jia Dongxu's smile grew, his words became more convincing: "Master, the He family has only two children, and their house is very big, wasting a lot of space.

If you exchange with us, it would be quite suitable!"

After hearing these words, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help feeling helpless.

He didn't know why the Jia family had a dispute with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu had extensive connections and was selected as an advanced individual. He was not someone who could be dealt with casually.

His authority in front of everyone may only remain to a certain extent, and it may not work when facing He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu naturally caught Yi Zhonghai's hesitation and immediately added: "Master, you are the most senior in this courtyard, and He Yuzhu is just an ordinary resident.

Is there nothing you can do about this kind of thing?"

If He Yuzhu were here, he would probably scream with excitement.

It seems that the reason why Qin Huairu in the play becomes "pure and innocent"

’s image is indeed closely related to living with Jia Dongxu for many years!

One has to admire that Jia Dongxu's words really played a big role. Yi Zhonghai blushed and looked quite angry.

His face is more important than anything else, and he would never admit failure, especially when the other party is his candidate for retirement support.

"Just wait and see. I'll go talk to He Yuzhu tomorrow."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai lost the mood to sweep the floor and left angrily.

If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to come! Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai's departing back, feeling more and more satisfied.

In his opinion, it would be easy for Yi Zhonghai to manipulate He Yuzhu.

For him, getting He Yuzhu's house was enough.

This not only means getting a big house, but also can avenge his mother's memory of being sent to labor camp.

Even if He Yuzhu wants revenge in the future, the target will probably only be Yi Zhonghai, which has nothing to do with their Jia family.

Although Yi Zhonghai had doubts in his heart, he still came to He Yuzhu with a smile the next day. "Zhuzi, are you busy?"

Since He Yuzhu has been busy with work recently and neglected cleaning, now that the Spring Festival is approaching, he has started to tidy up.

When He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai approaching with a grin on his face, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

This guy is considered the most hypocritical villain in the entire compound, and we have to treat him with caution.

He didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai found him, so he didn't want to speculate. "Grandpa Yi, what's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and responded, "It's about something that needs to be discussed."

"Isn't Jia Dongxu also about to enter the wedding season?"

"But you also know that they only have those two rooms. It's OK for mother and son to live in, but it will definitely not be enough on the wedding day."

"I think it's a bit of a waste for the two of you to take up three rooms. See if you can exchange with the Jia family."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly.

I'll compensate you five dollars a month."

When he said this, Yi Zhonghai actually thought that he was being quite kind to himself.

It would only cost less than ten yuan to rent a house outside, and He Yuzhu could get the Jia family's house without affecting them, and he could also earn five yuan for free every month.

What a wonderful thing! He knew that Jia Dongxu could not afford it, so he had to pay for it himself in the end.

But this is not only for his own retirement plan, but also to show his ability to Jia Dongxu, so he is willing to do it.

If He Yuzhu hadn't had a familiar background in the Military Administration Bureau, how could he have easily had such a good opportunity? It was already good enough to give the house to the children, and it was simply a fantasy to want money! But after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, He Yuzhu was almost amused.

He really couldn't understand what was wrong with the other party's mind. He actually made such a ridiculous request and tried to trick them into taking away their house with such a small amount of money?

It is easy to exchange houses, but it is not so easy to get them back.

Moreover, considering the Jia family's current living standard, the pocket money left over from the month is only six or seven yuan at most.

They also have to subsidize the He family with five dollars a month? Is this possible? Moreover, this is the He family's ancestral home!

Although He Yuzhu also hoped to move out of the compound at the right time, he knew that the house could not be sold to others at a low price. "Grandpa, I know what you mean, and this is the truth.

But my house is our ancestral home.”

"The Jia family's house was only temporarily allocated to them by the factory."

He hinted, “Once the ownership changes, there will be more trouble in the future.”

The lengthy conversation ended like this, and He Yuzhu refused without mercy. "Grandpa, I understand your good intentions, but the matter of our ancestral home involves too much."

He knew that arguing with someone like Yi Zhonghai would be fruitless.

But for his own family, it's about principle.

He Yuzhu flatly refused, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"Otherwise you can find someone else. Anyway, I won't change."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect He Yuzhu to refuse so decisively.

Hearing He Yuzhu say this, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

It was not easy for a young boy, so how could the others in the courtyard be manipulated so easily? If it was just a trivial matter, everyone might be willing to give him face as an older generation, and even endure it even if they suffered a small loss.

However, for every Chinese, housing is always a matter of life and death.

Isn't it a fantasy to ask the Jia family to give up their residence?

No, He Yuzhu must be dealt with.
