Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills

They had hoped that after He Yuzhu was admitted to university, he would no longer have to show up as a chef, and this would be an opportunity for them to suppress "Tian Xiang Lou". They just needed to make sure they couldn't find evidence of He Yuzhu's participation in the competition, and then they could spread the news - He Yuzhu was afraid.

By then, He Yuzhu’s reputation will be damaged. How will his store continue to do business?

But I never expected that He Yuzhu actually accepted the invitation.

This made the chefs who had had conflicts with He Yuzhu secretly happy: even in such a situation, they still firmly believed that their cooking skills would not be inferior to that boy! He Yuzhu's so-called "superb" must be an exaggerated boast.

"Boss, you can rest assured. He Yuzhu is just a young boy. There is no need to worry." A confident chef said to his boss, "Tomorrow, we will definitely let him see the real art of cooking."

The rest of the people agreed.

Faced with these confident chefs, the shop owner nodded helplessly in agreement, but in his heart he could only secretly pray that their winning rate would not be too bad.

Best to win by chance.

However, He Yuzhu himself was not too worried about the game, but on the way home, the system issued a new prompt.

[Ding! The system has issued a new task, requiring the host to demonstrate the strength of a culinary champion. ]

He Yuzhu was slightly startled when he heard the system prompt. This was the first time that the system sent him a new command before he completed the previous task.

He Yuzhu, who originally thought that he had to complete a task before starting the next challenge, is now ready to teach the chefs.

With the new system's assignments, he was even more ruthless.

While thinking, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, and the workers were just returning home from get off work.

Seeing him appear, his co-workers were stunned: Didn't he go to take the college entrance examination? Why did he come back so early?

The people in the hospital were curious, but most of them did not want to have too much contact with He Yuzhu, so no one came forward to ask for details.

Xu Damao was not polite at all. He walked towards He Yuzhu with a mocking smile and said, "Silly Zhu, have you been kicked out of the exam? Forget about this study. Just admit your defeat! Also, kneel down and call me master."

Other people in the courtyard looked at the arrogant Xu Damao with sympathy. They knew very well that making a grudge with He Yuzhu would be tantamount to seeking misfortune.

Seeing Xu Damao pressing forward step by step, He Yuzhu's expression did not change, still as cold as ice: "Xu Damao, you'd better prepare the 100 yuan first. When the loss is certain, if you don't have money, don't think about relaxing!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao was full of contempt. He no longer entangled with him, chose to ignore him and let He Yuzhu talk to himself.

Anyway, there is only one day left before the scores are announced, and when the university admission results come out, He Yuzhu will be speechless.

He Yuzhu watched Xu Damao leave in silence.

The college entrance examination is coming tomorrow, and he still has a lot of preparation to do.

Since he was not on duty at Tianxiang Tower and did not bring back any ingredients, he went to the system space to get some reward vegetables and meat to cook delicious food.

After tasting it, he was pleasantly surprised.

In the past, my family had enough supplies, so I didn’t care about the food distributed by the system and never tried any of it.

Fortunately, time stands still in the system space, otherwise these delicacies would be wasted.

This was the first time He Yuzhu tasted the ingredients in the system, and the taste was far beyond his imagination.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, his confidence in tomorrow's game doubled.

As for food, He Yushui didn't care too much, as long as he could have a full meal.

After dinner, he finished his homework at Yan Bugui’s house and went home obediently to sleep.

The next day, when he arrived at Tianxianglou, it was already crowded with diners who came to enjoy the delicious food.

No matter which delicious food there is in the capital, it cannot escape their taste buds.

When they learned yesterday that Tianxianglou would be holding a chef competition today, their enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

Not to mention the free food, just paying the fee is a great value! After all, all the famous chefs in the city gather together, and it is rare to taste the skills of so many top chefs at one time.

More importantly, they also learned that He Yuzhu planned to take the college entrance examination, which meant that they might not be able to taste his cooking skills for some time.

Although they felt a little disappointed, they knew that this was a good thing for He Yuzhu and did not say much.

They only hoped to enjoy his cooking as much as possible while he was still working at Tianxianglou.

They came not only to taste the food, but also to cheer for He Yuzhu! He Yuzhu was a little overwhelmed when he saw so many people.

Then I heard the enthusiastic calls of a group of customers.

"Master He, you must go all out in today's competition!"

"Master He, you are the cooking god in our hearts. Even their shoes are not worthy of cleaning the floor for you."

"Master He, you are definitely the champion here."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, He Yuzhu understood what he meant and quickly expressed his gratitude.

When the other chefs present heard such expressions of support, their faces turned grim.

They have been cooking for many years, why does no one give them such attention and support?

Virtually every chef has had die-hard fans.

However, He Yuzhu's sudden rise almost robbed them of their loyal customers.

Now, He Yuzhu is the only one in their sight, and the other chefs seem no longer important to them.

Faced with this situation, they were helpless and looked at He Yuzhu with darker eyes. "He Yuzhu, your wishful thinking will not always go as you wish. Let's see how you will reap what you sow!"

In response, He Yuzhu responded sternly: "Then please show your talents."

As he finished speaking, he stopped his bicycle and took out the ingredients he had taken out from the system space this morning, which surprised and confused the other chefs present.

One of the chefs came over angrily and asked, "He Yuzhu, what does this mean? You have to bring your own ingredients more than cooking skills?"

"If you lose, just admit it.

What's the point of using such a petty trick?" he questioned.

For He Yuzhu, even the most ordinary things can easily defeat them.

But he knew in his heart that behind this grand scene, there must be some bosses pushing and pulling the strings.

He is not unaware of those who regret, and according to his plan, they must bear the consequences.

So he deliberately took the ingredients, and now he laughed and retorted when he heard this. "You can also go back to your own store to get the ingredients! This game is very important, I would be suspicious of using the ingredients prepared by others."

"Who can guarantee that there is no trickery? It's more reassuring to use food that you prepare yourself." He continued, "Could it be that the quality ingredients in your store are not enough, so you force me to lower my standards?"

After hearing this, most of the diners around nodded in agreement.

Before, after hearing what the chef said, they also felt that it might not be appropriate for He Yuzhu to carry the ingredients himself.

But now after hearing what He Yuzhu said, they all agreed that He's approach was absolutely correct! His argument was very convincing.

If other restaurants are confident in their ingredients, there is really no need to worry.

The problem ultimately lies with their own ingredients! Therefore, many people's perspectives quietly changed, and their eyes towards other chefs around them also became complicated.

This situation made the chefs panic and they all turned to the boss behind them for help.

The boss was furious at the moment, but on the surface he had to nod his head and urged his men to take out the best ingredients from the store as soon as possible.

They didn't expect that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were superb and his words were even more spicy!

Although the situation was tense, at this point they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.

It’s not a big mistake to lose your skills, but the ingredients must not lose!

As the food ingredients of each restaurant are prepared, the competition really begins.

The famous food critics in the city served as judges, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

The crowd watching around was even more eagerly waiting.

At this time, He Yuzhu's abilities were more clearly demonstrated.

Earlier, in order to cope with the booming business of Tianxianglou, he and Master Zhao had to go all out, cooking so fast that the spoon could almost create sparks.

Therefore, his food preparation is often completed at the plating stage while others are cooking.

The other chefs just snorted coldly when they saw this scene. They knew what was going on and were not panicked.

After all, cooking skills depend on controlling the heat.

What does it matter how fast you fry it? The taste is what matters! If it’s just a matter of speed, wouldn’t it be easier to just eat it raw?

After tasting other chefs’ dishes, the judges all nodded with satisfaction, expressing their full confidence in these chefs who have been famous for many years.

They have fought their way to their current position through real ability, and their performance today was all about dedication.

Naturally it will not disappoint.

However, when the judges tasted He Yuzhu's cooking, their reactions were completely different. "It's absolutely delicious, an unprecedented taste!" "Leave some for me, I want to taste it again!" Such praises stunned the other chefs.

Their works were only tried once and then forgotten.

After tasting all the dishes, the result undoubtedly pointed to He Yuzhu as the champion.

One chef could no longer suppress his emotions: "This is cheating! I can't accept it! You are eating He Yuzhu's dishes now, and we can only look at the plums to quench our thirst!"

The judges' smiles instantly turned serious.

To the questioning chef: “Does this mean that you are questioning our impartiality?”

Before the chef could respond, his boss turned pale.

The selection of judges is not accidental. They are not only famous for their delicious food in Beijing, but also wealthy and well-connected.

No one dares to question their authority easily.

Now, if he angers these people, not only will the chef be unable to work in the future, but even the restaurant he runs will be seriously affected.

"You guys can't accept failure in this competition?"

"Get out of here right now! You are fired now!"

The owner became more and more frightened. He slapped the chef twice and looked at the jury with humiliation.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't control my men well."

“We admit defeat.”

Hearing this, the judges all showed satisfied expressions.

Since they had just enjoyed all of He Yuzhu's delicacies, everyone felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to give others a chance to talk about them.

Therefore, he could only look at He Yuzhu awkwardly.

"Master He, if it's convenient, can you cook another one and share it with everyone?"

As soon as one judge finished speaking, the surrounding customers also excitedly focused their attention on He Yuzhu.

They watched the judges feasting on the food, feeling itchy and anxious.

They would not miss the chance to try something new.

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, He Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction.

This was not a difficult task for him, and naturally there was no need to leave any loopholes that could be exploited.

Besides, he still had enough materials in stock and didn't need to worry about anything else.

Soon, he carefully prepared a delicious dish and presented it to everyone.

The impatient people around rushed over to taste it.

"It tastes great, it's really the best!"

“Yeah, I can never get enough!”

“I want to taste Chef He’s food every day. That’s my biggest wish!”

Seeing their greedy looks, a smile flashed across the face of one of the previous referees.

He looked down at the unconvinced chef and asked:

"At this moment, what are your last words?"

The chef looked grim at the moment, but was speechless.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

"You said before that you would quit the culinary world if you lost. Is that true?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the other chefs felt uneasy.

At this moment, they no longer cared about their face and begged, "Master He, we made a mistake and shouldn't have questioned your culinary skills. Please give us another chance. We won't neglect you again."

The owner of Tianxianglou also hopes to avoid causing He Yuzhu to fall out with too many people in a fit of anger.

At this moment, even though Master He stated the content of the bet in front of all the guests, no one dared to question it.

But this move will ultimately make the situation tricky.

Therefore, the boss pulled He Yuzhu's arm, implying that he should repay evil with kindness and show mercy.

He Yuzhu understood, nodded slightly, and comforted the boss.

"Actually, I had no intention of participating in this match. I only joined because you were too rude."

"However, I do not wish to entangle with you. I only hope that you can learn a lesson from this incident."

"If you want to cook good food, you have to put in the work, not rely on tricks like this."

"It's just that this chef really should leave the industry!"

As He Yuzhu spoke, he pointed his finger at those who were dissatisfied. The other chefs and restaurant owners secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that they would not be implicated.

Everyone expressed their agreement.

After the bosses expressed their unanimous opinions, the chef's face changed drastically.

I was full of resentment towards He Yuzhu.

He didn't expect He Yuzhu to be so ruthless!

Now he has been fired by his former boss, and other restaurants have publicly expressed their unwillingness to hire him. How will he gain a foothold in Beijing in the future?

However, at the moment, he couldn't find a better way out.

No matter how angry I was, I couldn't stay here, so I had to say goodbye and leave.

As for He Yuzhu, he will never let this guy feel comfortable!

After seeing that the problem had been solved, the other bosses felt that they had lost face in staying there and left one after another.

The diners who were watching applauded again when they saw He Yuzhu win the competition.

At this time, a diner said, "Master He, I have tasted your dishes before, and the taste is slightly different from today's."

"Could it be that the fresh ingredients you used this morning were a little unusual?"

As soon as these words came out, many people around looked at He Yuzhu with curiosity.

Logically speaking, in their minds, "Tianxianglou" should be the best choice.

However, today, He Yuzhu's dishes are indeed quite different from the past.

Could it be that the ingredients used by Tianxianglou before were not fresh enough?

If that is the case, it is worth considering whether we should continue to dine at Tianxianglou in the future.

Although the dishes at Tianxianglou are indeed delicious, they cannot be manipulated at will.

Noticing the strange gazes from people around him, the owner of Tianxianglou's heartbeat instantly accelerated and his smile disappeared.

However, He Yuzhu looked calm and not at all panicked.

"Everyone, these vegetables are all for your advantage in the competition. I went to the countryside early in the morning to purchase them freshly harvested - how can those picked from the fields compare to those delivered to the city?"

Hearing this, the guests suddenly understood and nodded slightly in agreement.

This statement is indeed reasonable.

If an average cook changes the ingredients, the difference may not be that big, but if a skilled cook uses new ingredients, the difference will be immediately noticeable.

The boss of Tianxianglou saw that the disturbance among the diners had finally subsided, and he said with a sense of relief: "Dear friends, our achievements today are inseparable from your kindness and love."

"I have decided that starting from tomorrow, our store will send staff to the countryside to buy vegetables every morning to ensure that we provide fresh delicacies to our customers every day!"

As the words ended, warm applause broke out again all around.

Some people saw that it was getting late and went straight to the restaurant to choose their dishes.

Seeing this scene, the boss nodded with satisfaction, knowing in his heart that He Yuzhu was undoubtedly the iconic figure of Tianxianglou.

However, as his studies progressed, the signboard effect naturally weakened.

Now that fresh ingredients have become a new promotional point, Tianxianglou’s business will surely be good in the future.

When the boss realized the problem, he immediately pulled He Yuzhu aside and began to ask: "Master He, where did you get these vegetables?"

"Can you tell me?" He Yuzhu seemed a little confused after hearing his boss's question.
