Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills
Chapter 17 Falling into Chaos
He knew that the dishes from the countryside must be different from those he got in his space, and if he said it out loud, he might be exposed.
Moreover, he had just arrived in Sifang City and had not been back to the countryside, so it was not easy to come up with a reason! However, when he was confused, the system prompt sounded again:
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for winning the cooking competition!"
"Ding Dong! The system gives you a reward: I wish you a three-acre planting space and fifteen-acre breeding space."
Hearing the system's announcement, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then entered the two new areas to check, and found that he had added a farmland and a pasture, which were already planted with rich vegetables, fruits and various livestock.
The system also informed that crops can be harvested once a week, and vegetables can be picked as soon as they are ripe; livestock will also be collected once a week.
Looking at the answer in front of him, He Yuzhu smiled: "Isn't that the question?" He decided to use the new space: "Boss, how about this, you can ask someone to go to the countryside to get it, but it will cost a lot.
How about I find someone to deliver it to you every day? The food price remains the same, but I give you an extra fifty cents per day for transportation?"
The boss believed in He Yuzhu's ability and gladly accepted his proposal, smiling and agreeing. "That's great! Zhuzi, I'll trouble you!" "Don't worry, I will remember your kindness, and I will give you 50 yuan as a reward every 30 days."
Originally, these ingredients were sold at no cost, but with an extra fifty yuan, he had no reason to refuse, and nodded his head to express his gratitude: "Boss, thank you so much."
After saying that, He Yuzhu left quickly, found a flatbed truck, moved the supplies in the space from an open area, and then drove back to Tianxiang Tower.
When the boss saw that the ingredients were actually delivered, he was even happier. He immediately paid two hundred yuan and went home with a smile on his face.
However, He Yuzhu had an additional problem in his mind: during college, he needed someone to deliver food to him every day, and it had to be someone he trusted, which was not an easy task.
Although he was anxious, he knew there was no rush, so he had to suppress his thoughts for the moment and slowly walked home.
However, while thinking, he did not notice that a group of people were following him quietly from behind. Until he arrived at an alley, a group of gangsters suddenly surrounded him, which surprised him a little.
Was it because he had given too much money to Tianxianglou, which attracted attention? Or was it revenge from the chef? Before He Yuzhu could speak, the thug next to him looked at the eldest brother and asked cautiously.
"Brother Wolf, the man has been caught."
“What did the boss say?”
After hearing this, Brother Wolf smiled and nodded in response to his subordinates.
“Isn’t he a chef?”
"Break his hands!"
He Yuzhu understood after hearing this that the chef was trying to cause trouble for him that night.
The thugs then approached He Yuzhu.
However, He Yuzhu was not afraid.
Thanks to his kung fu, those thugs fell to the ground wailing before he could even make a move.
The only remaining gang leader looked at He Yuzhu with fear in his eyes.
"Brother, I..."
“I was wrong…”
Looking at Brother Wolf's eyes, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh.
Even if I let him go, he won't live long.
Now He Yuzhu's medical skills are not exaggerated. He can tell at a glance that Wolf Brother is actually suffering from a serious liver disease, but he himself has not yet realized it.
Judging from his current condition, even if he is not sick, Brother Wolf only has three or two months left.
If he is really killed, more complicated incidents will arise later.
He Yuzhu weighed the pros and cons in his heart and shook his head slightly.
"Okay, behave yourself from now on."
"If you meet me again, you won't be as easy to talk to as you are today."
Although Brother Wolf bowed his head and apologized, he was still prepared to bear the punishment.
For the gangsters, getting beaten up is a common occurrence.
Hearing He Yuzhu say this, everyone was stunned.
How could this murderous character be so magnanimous?
"Get out of here!"
As He Yuzhu shouted at them again, Brother Wolf nodded hurriedly and quickly helped his companions stagger out of the box.
"Isn't that a lesson for a cook?"
"Why don't you mention that this chef is quite skilled?"
"Brothers, our losses cannot be in vain."
"Let's go teach this guy a lesson together."
He Yuzhu heard their discussion and returned to the courtyard with a smile on his face.
In the following days, he no longer went to Tianxianglou to work and only delivered dishes once a day.
Thinking that he would need to find someone to take over the delivery of groceries, He Yuzhu looked forward to going to college in this city.
Although the distance from the courtyard to various universities is relatively far, at least moving within the city is more convenient than moving to another city.
On this day, just as he was considering whether to see if he could rent a separate house in advance, the postman unexpectedly appeared in the yard.
"Who is Comrade He Yuzhu?"
"Comrade He Yuzhu, there is a letter for you."
Hearing the call, He Yuzhu hurried over.
People in the yard also gathered around with curiosity.
The He family has no relatives outside to send letters to.
Could it be He Daqing's information? This guess immediately aroused the curiosity of the neighbors, and they gathered to see what was going on.
Next, everyone was stunned when they saw the postman handing He Yuzhu a pile of envelopes.
At this time, He Yuzhu was also a little bit unbelievable.
“These are…”
“Sent to me?”
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the postman nodded as a matter of course, his eyes full of envy towards him.
“These are letters from different universities, and they appear to be offers of admission.”
After the postman congratulated He Yuzhu, he quickly turned around and left.
Night is approaching and there are still many letters waiting to be delivered. This is the busiest time of the year for their post office and every moment is precious.
The other neighbors in the yard had just returned home from work. When they saw He Yuzhu holding many admission letters in his hands, they couldn't help but look stunned and unbelievable.
How many universities were there in the country at that time? He Yuzhu actually received so many admission letters! Did all the universities offer him an olive branch?
In fact, the neighbors' speculation was not unreasonable.
In 1950, there were a total of 193 universities in China.
However, many schools understood their own advantages and knew that He Yuzhu was a certain distance away from these universities and had a certain score gap, so they did not issue him an admission letter.
These dozen or so letters all came from the capital and nearby towns.
However, at this time, He Yuzhu and his neighbors were still unaware of this matter.
Just as He Yuzhu was about to check the sources of the notices one by one, suddenly there were deafening sounds of drums and gongs outside the house.
Soon, Liu Jun from the Military Management Committee entered noisily with his colleagues and a band.
"Comrade He Yuzhu, warm congratulations! You have become the top scorer in this year's national college entrance examination, and the only student with a perfect score!"
"We have come specially to congratulate you."
Upon hearing this announcement, He Yuzhu and the surrounding neighbors were all shocked.
He knew he had performed well, but he did not expect to receive full marks.
The neighbors were even more shocked. "This..." A top scholar appeared in the courtyard!
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Liu Jun smiled and said again: "He Yuzhu not only won honor for our neighborhood, but also set an example for everyone."
"The Military Control Commission hopes that everyone will learn from He Yuzhu in the future."
On behalf of the army, he announced: "Comrade He Yuzhu is now awarded a prize.
He will be awarded a cash prize of 100 yuan, and all his tuition fees will be covered by the military.
"Considering that He Yuzhu still needs to take care of his sister He Yushui's daily life, we will prepare a residence for him close to the university and arrange for him to attend a nearby school."
After hearing Liu Jun's statement, the neighbors in the courtyard were even more surprised.
I thought everything would be fine once I got into university, but now it seems that He Yuzhu has so many preferential treatments.
If I had known there would be such a benefit, I would have let my children fight for this opportunity to go to university.
You should know that this is not just a residence! Many residents in the courtyard still rent houses and do not own the property even if they work in the factory.
If the family members are no longer workers in the future, the factory will take them back.
Now He Yuzhu's family already has an old residence. With this reward, doesn't it mean that they will own two houses?
He Yuzhu has a bright future! He is so promising now, and his future achievements are even more exciting.
The eyes of the people in the yard looking at He Yuzhu were all sparkling with envy, especially Qin Huairu, there seemed to be a gleam in her eyes.
Qin Huairu now feels a little regretful.
If she had known that there was a He Yuzhu who was outstanding in the courtyard, she would have done more in-depth inquiries before entering the courtyard.
If she could marry He Yuzhu, wouldn't she already have two properties?
Unfortunately, she was only tempted by the ten yuan betrothal gift offered by the Jia family at that time.
A sigh sounded in Qin Huairu's heart, and she was obviously calculating something in her mind.
Jia Dongxu clearly observed the change in Qin Huairu's expression, and an inexplicable fire instantly rose in his heart.
Seeing He Yuzhu's increasingly extraordinary talent, the original imbalance in his heart became even more apparent.
After all, in Jia Dongxu's mind, he should be the smartest person in the courtyard. How could He Yuzhu compare to him?
Moreover, the two unfortunate events that happened to my mother were closely related to this.
How could he accept this?
"Why are you still standing there? Go back and wash your clothes. Do you think it's fun to watch you make such a fuss?" Jia Dongxu could no longer hold back his anger. He grabbed Qin Huairu's arm and urged her to go home.
Qin Huairu felt a sharp pain in her arm when it was grabbed, and tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously.
Her situation aroused deep sympathy from many of the courtyard's neighbors.
Regardless of the era, the idea that appearance is supreme still exists.
They believe that as long as they look good, they have their reasons, and even if there are some faults, they may be pure misunderstandings.
What's more, after Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, she had never heard of any rumors, which made the people around her sympathize with her even more.
"Dongxu, you are a grown man, can't you talk to your wife properly if you have something to say?"
"That's right. There are so many people in the courtyard. What's wrong with Huairu coming out? Why do we have to drag her out to bask in the sun?"
"You don't do anything yourself, but you have to ask Qin Huairu to do the laundry and cook?"
Qin Huairu was secretly delighted when she heard the neighbors standing up to defend her.
She understood that she came from the countryside and it was not easy for her to settle down in the city, so she needed to show weakness in front of others to gain sympathy.
Life would not be so difficult if we had the care of our neighbors.
However, she longed for He Yuzhu to take some action and show his concern, but he just smiled and watched the whole incident like an outsider, which broke her heart.
He Yuzhu knew Qin Huairu's nature very well. Although she seemed weak on the surface, she was very cruel in her bones! Once she was caught, she would press on step by step without mercy.
Hearing the words of his neighbors, Jia Dongxu's face flushed. He realized that this incident had made him lose face.
"My wife is my own, so why should I care about her? It's none of your business!" He said sternly, pulling Qin Huairu out of the door.
The current situation is embarrassing and he no longer has the face to stay outside.
Besides, he would not be happy to see He Yuzhu so proud here.
Seeing that He Yuzhu did not move, Ruo certainly did not try to show weakness anymore, and obediently followed the Jia family home.
The neighbors around couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.
Although I, Qin Huairu, married into the Jia family, my relationship with my neighbors is indeed only that of a girl next door.
But he is handsome and can satisfy people's jealousy outside, so what's the problem?
Seeing the scene before them, Liu Jun and the staff of the Military Control Commission felt quite embarrassed.
To them, men who abuse their wives at home are despicable.
But Jia Dongxu's reason was also very reasonable. After all, this matter involved other people's family privacy, and they were powerless to intervene unless they used force.
"Okay, He Yuzhu, we'll go back with this commendation first, and we'll help you make proper arrangements for your affairs."
"According to your talent, any university is willing to accept you. Once you choose one, we will find a suitable place for you to live."
As they had important matters to attend to, Liu Jun and his team were unwilling to waste any more time here after bringing back the reward.
He Yuzhu nodded slightly when he heard Liu Jun's words.
In fact, I already had my favorite school in mind, and I was worried about whether I would be admitted based on my grades.
Now that I have a good hand, all worries have disappeared.
"Uncle Liu, I've made up my mind. I plan to go to Tsinghua University."
"There are primary and secondary schools attached to it, and my younger sister can also go to school there, which will be more convenient for us."
When Liu Jun heard this, his eyes immediately sparkled: "You have a good idea." Then he said: "Okay, I will go back and report to my superiors, and you can go and register yourself tomorrow and it will be ready when school starts.
We will leave first."
After Liu Jun and his party left the courtyard, He Yuzhu looked at their backs and sighed silently.
Studying at Tsinghua University was not just to take care of He Yushui's academic studies, he also intended to use it to prepare for the special era in the future.
He Yuzhu knew very well that once that turbulent era came, the country's elite students would surely fall into chaos.
With the knowledge and wisdom of a time traveler, it should be easy for him to protect himself.
However, He Yushui would also be facing the pressure of being a senior in high school at that time. If he were affected, the consequences would be disastrous.
Although Tsinghua University will also be affected, it is after all the top domestic university of this era, so the damage will be relatively small.
The surrounding neighbors each have their own plans.
Yi Zhonghai was extremely conflicted: seeing that He Yuzhu was no longer as prosperous as he used to be, he felt even more lost and regretted having offended him because of the Jia family's affairs.
If He Yuzhu could have become his "elderly caregiver", how happy would He Yuzhu's life be after graduation!
However, the matter is done, and now we can only pin our hopes on Jia Dongxu.
Amid these thoughts, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh softly, and then returned home.
The neighbors around were still whispering in the courtyard.
"Look at He Zhuzi, he's already a college student now, he's really soaring to the sky!"
"Yes, there was a bet between Xu Damao and him before!"
"Where did Xu Damao go? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"That's right, we have to find him and make his bet count!"
When Xu Damao, who was hiding at home, heard the people around him shouting, his face suddenly turned pale.
When he heard that He Yuzhu had received so many college admission letters, he had a bad feeling, so he didn't dare to go out and watch and immediately rushed back.
But unexpectedly, even so, the neighbors still noticed something was wrong.
Xu Damao felt a little annoyed.
The bet was originally a deal between him and He Yuzhu. How could it have anything to do with the people in this yard? Even if he gave He 100 yuan, it was a matter between them.
Why were these people anxiously looking for him? However, Xu Damao overlooked the key point: the neighbors in the courtyard were all good at observing the changes of the times. They all knew that He Yuzhu had passed the imperial examination and would have a brighter future. How could they not try to curry favor with him?
While Xu Damao was still feeling unwilling, the neighbors from the surrounding yards had already rushed straight to his residence.
"Xu Damao, He Yuzhu has been admitted to university. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"
"That's right! Xu Damao, give He Yuzhu a hundred yuan right away!"
"I'm going to find Zhuzi. I won't let him off easy today!"
At this time, in the system space, looking at the task rewards that emerged continuously, He Yuzhu was very happy.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and achieving the goal of graduating from university. 】
[Good news! Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward, academic efficiency will be increased by 50%! ]
[Congratulations to the host for his harvest and mastery of industrial technology expertise! ]
[Congratulations! The host is proficient in mechanical manufacturing! ]
The series of rewards made He Yuzhu a little overwhelmed, but he could not suppress the joy in his heart.
He knew that in this era, the country attached great importance to the research and development of military technology. If more advanced weapons were to be manufactured, how could it be without talents in engineering and mechanical and electrical engineering?
Although the mission period is relatively long, the rewards are more than worth it.
In addition, his learning speed has doubled, which will not only make it easier for him to stand out on campus, but will also give him an advantage in expanding into other fields in the future.
