Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills
Chapter 19 Care
He Yuzhu opened the bag and was shocked.
"Boss, this is... so much money?"
Seeing He Yuzhu's surprised expression, the boss smiled even brighter. "Here is 1,000 yuan in cash as your gift money, you must accept it." Then he explained, "In fact, these are not just from me. Many regular customers are familiar with you. After hearing that you were admitted to the university, they voluntarily gave money to congratulate you. The total amount is about 1,800 yuan.
I just want an integer."
The neighbors were shocked again. They could receive a 2,000 yuan gift for taking the college entrance exam? No, they had to work hard for their own children, too. They had to get them into college no matter what!
He Yuzhu was a little stunned.
He knew that the regulars were well-off, but he had not expected them to be so generous.
This was a sincere gesture and He Yuzhu could not refuse it.
While collecting the gift money, he remembered another question: "They all paid, why don't they come to the banquet?"
The owner of Tianxianglou naturally anticipated this.
Therefore, when He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone just smiled and nodded slightly in response.
"I thought that in case there were too many guests and the courtyard couldn't accommodate them, I prepared a few tables of banquets in Tianxiang Tower this morning, and they enjoyed it there."
After the boss finished speaking, he saw He Yuzhu was about to speak, so he immediately waved his hand and gestured for him to stop.
"Master Yuzhu, you don't have to be polite to me."
"Although you have only been working at Tianxianglou for a short time, you have undoubtedly helped me a lot." The boss continued,
Especially your ability to handle food has greatly enhanced the business in our building. "
Therefore, you don’t need to be so particular about this matter, and you don’t need to be polite to me.”
"I will take care of the reception at Tianxianglou for you." He said, and called out, "Chef, come over and take a look. He has to go back to cook."
After hearing this, Master Zhao smiled and nodded, walked to He Yuzhu, reached out and took out an exquisite little box from his arms, which made everyone in the courtyard focus their attention again.
It seems that the gift that the master gave to He Yuzhu was not cash! What could it be?
Jia Dongxu felt quite indignant as he watched He Yuzhu accept a lot of gifts.
He is a well-known good guy in Siheyuan! He didn't even receive so much money at his wedding.
Even if He Yuzhu no longer has any income from now on, the two thousand yuan will allow him to live a carefree life for many years.
Besides, I heard from the boss that He Yuzhu also provides food ingredients to Tianxianglou, so there must be a lot of extra income.
Why doesn't he get such a good opportunity?
But where did He Yuzhu get those ingredients? Just as everyone was wondering, Master Zhao happily opened the lid of the box:
"Zhu Zi, when Master gave you a gift to become his disciple, there was nothing worth showing off."
"You have passed the high school entrance examination again this time, so the master should express his gratitude.
After all, he is no longer a kid, but a college student at a prestigious university.
As a well-educated person in society, you can't always dress too poorly, it's embarrassing."
He took out a watch and asked, "Look at this gift from Master. Do you like it?"
As soon as the watch came out, all eyes in the courtyard were focused again.
Deep down in their hearts, everyone was filled with envy for He Yuzhu.
As we all know, watches are not cheap, starting at several dozen yuan.
And this Shanghai watch that Master Zhao gave to He Yuzhu is even more expensive!
Although no one could afford it, some people still knew the price and discussed it privately.
"I remember this department store had a similar model, and the price tag was 234 yuan! Master He is so generous."
Yes! Look at how generous Master He is. This thing has nothing to do with food and clothing. He is simply treating money as a joke.
"I have a friend who lives next door to Mr. He. He has no children. He loves Mr. He so much. Is he planning to support him in the future?"
well said.
If someone treats me like this generously in the future and lets me help him with his old age, I would be happy to do so.
After all, they make a lot of money and they will have to give back in the future.
After receiving the watch, He Yuzhu was deeply moved.
But he understood that with their master-disciple relationship, the gratitude beyond words was self-evident, so he smiled and said, "Master, thank you."
Hearing this, Master Zhao nodded and smiled cheerfully again.
"Okay, there are still guests waiting for their meals at Tianxianglou, so we'll leave now!"
After saying this, the master looked calm and composed as he left the courtyard with the owner of Tianxianglou.
The reason they came here today was just to give He Yuzhu some face!
As for the owner of Tianxianglou, he was not aware of the situation among the neighbors, but Master Zhao had some understanding of their personalities.
No matter what, we cannot let people here underestimate He Yuzhu!
Watching Master Zhao and the boss go away, Yi Zhonghai felt depressed.
Even though their current relationship was not harmonious, as the elder in the courtyard, how could he be absent from today's important occasion.
It turned out that Yi Zhonghai had also planned to take this opportunity to repair his relationship with He Yuzhu.
After all, He Yuzhu will leave this house soon.
If the opportunity to ease the situation is missed this time, then He Yuzhu's retirement plan in the future will become empty talk.
However, he did not expect Master Zhao to be so generous and magnanimous, and unexpectedly took out a watch as a gift for He Yuzhu.
In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, finding someone to take care of him in his old age requires nothing more than some meager return.
Is it really necessary to spend such a huge amount of money?
Now that things have come to this, Yi Zhonghai still doesn't know how Master Zhao treats He Yuzhu in normal times, but in this situation today, he actually gave him a watch! Will He Yuzhu still like him? Naturally, his hope for retirement is slim!
At the same time, Jia Dongxu felt uncomfortable when he saw the expression on Yi Zhonghai's face.
He is a student of Master He Yuzhu and also a student of Yi Zhonghai.
Why is there such a big difference in treatment when they are both working for the master? Master He Yuzhu bought him things, but when he became his disciple, he had nothing, and he had to give Yi Zhonghai many gifts! When he got married, the other party only gave him a five-dollar gift!
Although he didn't feel there was anything wrong before, now with the comparison, Jia Dongxu felt even more painful.
Naturally, other people would not understand his inner struggles.
As they watched He Yuzhu busy serving the dishes, the guests laughed and talked about the delicious food.
After tasting the food, everyone unanimously praised it as the most delicious banquet they had ever tasted.
Some even started thinking about asking He Yuzhu to cook for their own weddings, which would undoubtedly be a very face-saving thing.
However, when thinking about He Yuzhu's future after graduation from university, everyone shook their heads and sighed helplessly.
At that time, college graduates had fixed jobs after graduation, and highly skilled talents were the objects of competition among many companies.
The implication is that when He Yuzhu graduates, he will be a state official.
With his background, why would he be willing to cook for the people in the Siheyuan?
Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the table full of delicious dishes. He occupied a table by himself, waited for the dishes to come, ordered whatever he wanted, and could also pack it up to take away.
I'll probably have to enjoy this whole table of food for a few days.
The only regret is that Qin Huairu went home early.
Otherwise, if other guests were unwilling to sit at the same table with her, perhaps there would be two tables of feast.
He only spent one penny to buy two tables of delicious food, which was really a great fortune! Although the dishes were already on the table, Jia Dongxu did not show any urgency.
In his opinion, He Yuzhu must be feeling miserable after suffering such a heavy loss, so he deliberately did not serve any dishes, purely to make him feel sick and force him to go home impulsively so as to save the cost of a meal.
But who can be stumped by this? Jia Dongxu is definitely not an ordinary person. He is the smartest person in the compound!
Although Jia Dongxu had good intentions, he could not suppress his anxiety when he saw He Yuzhu find a seat and prepare to eat, but still no movement. "He Yuzhu, what are you doing? Why don't you serve the food?" The neighbors around felt helpless when they heard this. At this moment, everyone was talking about entertaining the generous Master He and the owner of Tianxianglou, and they were not paying attention to the dispute here.
Many people even thought that Jia Dongxu had left, but he was still here! How could he be so shameless? He Yuzhu heard Jia Dongxu's voice and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "Sorry, Dongxu, this meal was originally planned to be shared by several people, but now the ingredients are exhausted, and we really can't provide additional dishes.
There are some leftovers from last night, so just make do with them."
After saying that, He Yuzhu went straight back home and brought out half a plate of leftovers from the two of them last night.
Although the He family's living standard is not low, it is far from that of a banquet, which is enough to show the difference.
People think that no matter how much he loses face, Jia Dongxu should not stay.
In fact, anger had made Jia Dongxu's face red and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
Just when he was about to explode, He Yuzhu's voice came again: "Dongxu, I see there are still empty seats at other tables, how about squeezing in? If you don't want to, I'll have to inconvenience you.
If that doesn't work, I'll refund your share and let you go home and eat by yourself, how about that? "
After saying this, Jia Dongxu could hardly bear it anymore.
Was it because he didn't want to share the table with others? It was precisely because others didn't want to sit at the same table with him! No matter which table he chose, he always felt cold and disdainful looks.
If he reluctantly took a seat, he would only be driven away by the other party! Although he was annoyed, how could he offend so many people in order to continue living in the courtyard in the future?
Therefore, sitting alone at a table became his only option.
However, it was obviously impossible for him to accept her to have dinner alone at his home.
Even if the food was terrible, he couldn't enjoy the whole dinner with just one penny, right? Moreover, He Yuzhu only gave him money for the meal but no food.
And now eating the He family's food is considered a benefit.
With these thoughts in mind, even though he was feeling depressed, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"In that case, forget it."
“I really don’t like eating with a large group of people…”
“This overnight dish is no problem for me.”
"Go get me a bottle of wine."
Jia Dongxu’s idea is very simple now.
Even if you can't taste the main meal, at least you can still enjoy the meat dishes.
And he decided to drink two more bottles from He Yuzhu, which would definitely make He Yuzhu heartbroken!
The neighbors were shocked by his words and actions.
How dare Jia Dongxu say that he doesn't want to join in the fun? It's clear that no one wants to deal with him!
The embarrassment of today's action alone is unbearable to watch. In the past, whenever there was a gathering, the Jia family was like a hungry person seeing bread, and would eat anything.
The newly served dishes had not even cooled down yet, but they had already filled most of their bowls with ulterior motives, which had already aroused the indignation of the neighbors.
Even though some people were angry in the past, they couldn't do anything about it. After all, the gifts received could not be used as a reason to eat and drink for free.
This time, the He family finally has a chance to get rid of the Jia family's days of competing for delicious food, how could they let it go?
He Yuzhu did not expect that Jia Dongxu was so obviously shameless.
