Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills

Chapter 2: Doing something extraordinary

After struggling for a while, Wang Fei uttered, "So what if you can make fried rice? It's just basic cooking.

Don't think you can be arrogant in the kitchen anymore. I'll teach you a lesson and let you know what I'm going to do to you."

Everyone was silent after hearing this. Wasn't the bet made by the two people before that the loser would leave Tianxianglou? Now it seemed that Wang Fei was determined not to admit defeat.

However, Wang Fei was right. No matter how good He Yuzhu's fried rice was, it could not replace his position in the kitchen.

But in time, he will surely become a rising star in the city's catering industry.

Everyone present had a plan in mind, and they had to maintain a good relationship with He Yuzhu in the future.

In fact, He Yuzhu had long expected that Wang Fei would not admit defeat easily.

Besides, he had no intention of kicking anyone out. If he pushed the chief chef out on his first day at work, the boss probably wouldn't agree.

But it was impossible to let Wang Fei go. "Master Wang, I will accompany you to the end for any dish you can name.

Today I will convince you!"

Wang Fei was stunned. It's just a polite remark, why are you making such a fuss about it?

Although he wanted to compete again, Wang Fei knew that this would only bring humiliation to himself.

And considering He Yuzhu's ability, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he lost again?

Although he was depressed, Wang Fei said nothing more at this moment.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from behind.

"Young Master He, it's rare to see such confidence!"

"Well, not bad, let me taste your cooking!"

Hearing the sound, people looked over and saw that it was the boss being brought in by Master Zhao, so they automatically made way.

The boss didn't mind the messy fried rice, but his eyes immediately lit up after taking a bite.

“Pretty good!”

"Master He, I was skeptical about your other dishes just now, but now I believe it! From today on, you will officially become the third chef of Tianxianglou, with a monthly salary of fifty-six!"

This sudden news shocked everyone around.

On his first day at work, He Yuzhu's salary more than doubled! And his status was equal to that of Wang Fei and Master Zhao.

This made Wang Fei even more depressed, but he just said nothing.

The boss also knew about the bet. After a moment's hesitation, he said:

"Xiao He, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with your place yet, so there are some things..."

“It’s good for young people to be capable, but they should not act impulsively.”

"Well, I'll give you fifty yuan as a reward and encouragement. Remember, you must keep up the good work next time."

"Wang Fei, this is the end of the matter. You should be more humble in your studies in the future."

"If you continue to show off and cause trouble, even my Tianxianglou will not welcome you anymore."

In fact, He Yuzhu had never thought of forcing Wang Fei to leave at the beginning. It was expected that he could get 50 yuan at this moment, so he naturally chose to remain silent.

These fifty yuan are equivalent to his entire month's salary. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

Wang Fei was filled with sorrow.

I wanted to use this opportunity to teach the young man a lesson and it would be better to leave the position to his nephew.

But he didn't expect that the other party not only made money but also became an outstanding chef, while he lost face.

He Yuzhu realized that his boss was in a bad mood, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything. He could only nod silently to show his acceptance.

After finishing the work, the boss told everyone to learn from Comrade He Yuzhu and left.

At this time, Master Zhao excitedly pulled He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you are amazing! You are now promoted to chef!"

"It seems like this is going to be very bad in the future!"

"There is an opportunity to be a cook here. You can try it out when you have free time. You will have the opportunity to learn in depth. The future is bright!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded in agreement.

The others were dumbfounded. How much they wanted such a great opportunity! Why didn't they meet such an outstanding master?

With the competition between He Yuzhu and Wang Fei, naturally no one in the kitchen dared to provoke him easily.

However, some people are unwilling to accept this.

He Yuzhu is too young. If he really reaches the critical moment of being the chef, will it ruin the reputation of Tianxianglou? The risk of unemployment is very high!

However, as they watched customers pour in and Tianxianglou became bustling with activity, their doubts gradually dissipated.

He Yuzhu is indeed extraordinary.

Although he cooks quickly, his skills are outstanding. Even the chefs Zhao and Wang frequently wave their spatulas like lightning.

Normally, Tianxianglou would not close until the dinner peak was over.

But now people's wallets are tight and there are few dinner customers, so only one or two chefs and a few handymen need to stay behind to work the night, and the rest of the employees can go home after preparing the ingredients for the next day in the afternoon.

For He Yuzhu, who had just arrived, after get off work, he happily bought a roast chicken and a bottle of good wine, and set off on his journey satisfied.

After he had some wealth, he was no longer stingy about spending money.

And this time, becoming a chef is something worth celebrating for him.

When He Yushui at home saw the roast chicken, his eyes lit up and his mouth watered: "Brother, can we have roast chicken tonight?"

He Yuzhu smiled, patted his sister's head and said, "Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Where's Dad?"

After hearing this, He Yushui only had the roast chicken in his eyes. He nodded rapidly and hurried to wash his hands.

Then he said, "Dad went out after you went to work, and he hasn't come back yet." After saying this, he grabbed a chicken leg and started biting it.

In response, He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully.

In his speculation, Dad He Daqing must have gone to see the widow again.

It is not difficult to explain why Da Qing insisted on him going to work, fearing that he would be discovered while discussing elopement with the White Widow without telling her.

And now that He Yuzhu has started working, He Daqing doesn't have to worry too much about the two children starving to death.

He Yuzhu had his own thoughts about He Daqing's decision to leave the Siheyuan.

He knew it was futile to retain someone who was completely disillusioned.

After all, if a person's soul has been deeply affected by the behavior of a bootlicker, there is probably no one in the world who can save him.

Just like He Yuzhu in the drama, he has lost the chance to turn the tables.

But if he still planned to embezzle all the property and run away without telling his family as he did in the past, it is now impossible to do so.

As a father, he needs to leave something for himself and his family! With this thought in mind, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, and caressed He Yushui's head. "Okay, since Dad is not here, let's eat first and leave him alone!"

He Yushui was concentrating on the roast chicken. After hearing what her brother said, her eyes became brighter and her appetite became better.

Seeing He Yushui's happy expression, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile as well. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.

In the yard, the rich aroma of roast chicken attracted many people. They were all a little envious as they watched He Yuzhu enjoy the delicious food.

Nowadays, it is difficult for them to just have enough food and clothing.

However, the He family had two cooks who not only earned money to support the family, but also brought back meat from time to time. Naturally, their living standards were far higher than others.

Others can't touch such days.

Xu Damao, who was also a child, was drooling when he saw He Yuzhu and his sister wolfing down the food.

He Yuzhu caught his expression and laughed: "Xu Damao, if you are hungry, you might as well say it directly!"

"How can I know what you want if you don't ask?"

"Tell me and I'll give it to you."

Xu Damao's face flushed, but he refused to bow to He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao left in a hurry after he finished speaking, which made He Yushui a little nervous. "Brother, will we be scolded for eating roast chicken like this?"

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui who was holding the chicken wing in his hand but was afraid to eat it, and couldn't help laughing: "Since we can't avoid being beaten, we have already tasted it, so are we going to spit out what we have eaten?"

"It's already been eaten, wouldn't it be a loss if I don't eat more?"

Hearing this, little He Yushui was a little confused, but she felt that what her brother said seemed to be right. "Forget it, just eat it!"

Her cheeks puffed up as she bit the chicken wings in her hand even harder.

After all, children are full of energy. They felt sleepy soon after the meal and went back to their room to sleep early.

But He Yuzhu was wide awake while lying in bed. On the one hand, he had just come from this era and had not yet fully adapted to the daily routine of this era. How could a modern young man lie down so early? On the other hand, he knew that tonight was most likely the time for He Daqing to escape, so he had to wait.

But lying in bed for a long time is indeed a bit boring, and the lack of entertainment activities in this era is frustrating.

This also explains why every family has several children: the time after dinner is too monotonous.

So he decided to do some activities to pass the time.

Perhaps it is not easy to get a television at the moment, but it should not be difficult to buy a radio with the help of the system.

While He Yuzhu was thinking about his future plans, He Daqing sneaked back home.

As soon as the door was closed, He Daqing frowned: as a chef, his keen sense of smell detected the smell of roast chicken and wine wafting from the house.

Sha Zhu, who had just entered the workplace, was beaten this morning. Could it be that he secretly bought roast chicken and wine to vent his anger? He Daqing felt mixed emotions. This amount of money was equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary family for a week.

He Daqing, who originally wanted to teach him a lesson again, finally sighed and gave up his plan.

After all, I will be leaving soon, so it would be worth it if my children could enjoy the delicious food!

While He Daqing was full of thoughts, he hurriedly began to pack his luggage.

He can't dawdle too long, he still has to meet up with the White Widow!

When He Daqing finally packed his bag and was about to leave, He Yuzhu suddenly spoke up. "Dad, are you leaving now?"

"Leave without a word?"

Startled, He Daqing turned around and looked at He Yuzhu, his words stuttering a little. He really didn't expect that his son was still awake.

However, regardless of He Daqing's inner thoughts, He Yuzhu decided not to delay any longer.

Pulling a stool over and sitting down, his eyes calm, "Dad, if you choose to be with the White Widow, I can not interfere, but you can't take all the money away, right?"

He demanded, "How is this going to sustain me and you for the rest of your life?"

He Yuzhu's words made He Daqing's cheeks turn red.

What he did was indeed too ruthless, but in order to get the White Widow, he had no choice.

Facing his son's frank eyes, Daqing knew that he could no longer avoid the issue of money.

He Daqing was puzzled: this matter was extremely secretive between the couple, and even the neighbors didn't know about it. How did He Yuzhu find out? But he knew that it was not appropriate to explore it at this moment. The most important thing was to solve the problem at hand.

He Daqing said sincerely: "Since you know it, Dad doesn't want to hide it from you.

My original plan was to send some money to you and your sister every month after I went to Baocheng. I was afraid that giving you too much money at once would cause trouble and leave you hungry."

However, He Yuzhu was already an adult and had a job, so Daqing decided to give him the money now: "Here is this hundred yuan, take it and don't lose it."

As he spoke, he took out some money from his pocket, thinking to himself that if he gave this money to his beloved Bai, she would definitely be happy.

But giving it to this kid now is undoubtedly throwing it into the water!
