Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills
Chapter 3: Dad Won't Be Involved
He secretly thought that he had to find an opportunity to buy a bicycle to avoid it being too inconvenient - for commuting to and from get off work, and to meet the needs of commuting to work.
Seeing He Yuzhu, the manager was confused at first, but then he became furious after seeing the evidence. "This is too much. How can a father be like this?"
"Does he think that money can solve the problem and he can stay out of it?"
Then he comforted He Yuzhu, "Child, go home first, we will find your father!"
"We must not allow him to evade responsibility!"
Facing their emotional fluctuations, He Yuzhu remained calm. "Forget it, finding him back is just a matter of time. People's hearts have already left home.
If he runs away with the money, it will only make our life more difficult.
Besides, having a father like this doesn't make any difference to him, so don't waste your time on it."
He Yuzhu's words made the administrator silent. He Yuzhu's words made sense, but he still felt a little bitter in his heart.
All the formalities were then completed smoothly.
"He Xiaozhu, even though your father is gone, we in the Military Management Committee will not ignore you."
"No matter what happens in the future, you can always come to us!"
Hearing these words, He Yuzhu quickly expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your response, uncle, but I'm working now and can support my sister and I, no problem at all!"
After saying that, he went straight to Tianxiang Tower.
The staff of the Military Management Committee looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh secretly and lament in their hearts.
What a filial and sensible child! How could he have such an unreliable father?
In fact, what the soldiers didn't know was that they were still thinking about him in their hearts.
When he first arrived at Tianxianglou, Master Zhao and the boss greeted him with smiles on their faces.
"Zhu Zi, you are finally here. The boss and the guests can't wait any longer!"
He Yuzhu felt a little confused by Master Zhao's words, but then the boss smiled and cleared up his doubts.
"Master Xiao He, you have worked hard these past few days."
"The dishes you prepared yesterday were so popular with the customers that they left and recommended them to their friends.
Many people came to the store as soon as it opened this morning, all wanting to try your cooking skills! "
Hearing the boss's explanation, He Yuzhu was very satisfied. Perhaps this was the charm of top-notch cooking! He had already felt the huge benefits brought by the first task and decided to work harder!
As I was thinking, a system prompt suddenly came from deep in my mind:
"Ding! The system has issued a new task: Host, please get the approval of one hundred guests!"
He Yuzhu had already made up his mind to do his best to cook well.
The system has released new tasks, which will give you more motivation.
Although there was no mention of mission rewards, he believed that the system would not treat him unfairly.
"Boss, I'm so sorry. Something unexpected happened this morning and delayed me."
"I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it now. I promise you won't have to wait too long!"
As he spoke, He Yuzhu hurried to the kitchen, and the boss followed him with a smile, saying:
"Master Xiao He, it's okay. The restaurant doesn't officially open until the afternoon. Besides, your salary was originally 56 yuan, but starting today, it will be increased to 66!"
"You are a great contributor to our Tianxiang Tower. Everything goes smoothly and it's a good omen!"
These words were spoken in a loud voice, and everyone in the kitchen was stunned.
He Xiaozhu became the head chef on his first day in office, and now his salary has even increased, which is really surprising!
Master Zhao patted He Xiaozhu's shoulder excitedly, his tone full of admiration and pride:
"Zhu Zi, you are amazing! Your salary is almost catching up with mine! As long as you work hard, you will definitely have a bright future!"
When Wang Fei heard this, he became so angry that his face turned red. He simply dropped the vegetables in his hand and went out to smoke alone.
He Yuzhu certainly would not regard him as an opponent. He understood that getting entangled with such a despicable person would only lower his own character.
But if Wang Fei really came to provoke trouble, He Yuzhu would definitely teach him a severe lesson!
After responding to Master Zhao's words, he smiled and nodded.
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, he walked into the kitchen and started preparing for work. Meanwhile, the customers outside had already started talking.
"I think what the boss meant is that the meal we had yesterday must have been made by this young chef!"
"This chef doesn't look that old, but he has such great cooking skills. He must have a bright future!"
Yes! He will definitely become an extraordinary person in the future. We should come here often to help him gain popularity!
...(The imitation part is omitted, please continue or create according to the plot)
He Yuzhu was completely unaware of the rumors outside.
He is now working at full capacity in the kitchen, and dishes of carefully prepared dishes are quickly placed on the guests' tables.
At first, some customers were indeed a little annoyed, but when they saw the young He Yuzhu, they became relieved - after all, it is normal for young people to be lazy occasionally.
Everyone was surprised by the speed with which He Yuzhu was able to prepare the dishes in such a short time after entering the kitchen.
Even though most of the ingredients are already prepared, it’s amazing how dishes can be served one after another in just a few minutes.
After tasting the dishes, their praise did not diminish, and He Yuzhu became the focus of people's attention.
Before long, everyone in the capital will know that Tianxianglou has an amazing chef who, although young, is unrivaled in cooking speed and skills.
Everyone in the kitchen was moved by the sight of him stir-frying the food non-stop. They all looked tired, but this child seemed tireless.
In fact, this situation may soon put the other two chefs out of business!
Of course, they are not unemployed.
Because there were so many guests waiting for the dishes, Chef He Yuzhu’s charm did not diminish, so the remaining dishes were prepared by two chefs.
Because of today's good performance, many new customers were attracted. The remaining two people were not idle, but were busier than usual.
However, the boss always had a smile on his face, completely ignoring his tiredness, because he was full of joy.
By the time the shop closed in the afternoon, both the chef and his assistants were exhausted, except He Yuzhu who seemed full of anticipation.
He has completed the system task and is welcoming the generous reward:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task brilliantly. You have received the following rewards: ten kilograms of pork, fifty kilograms of flour, and a barrel of cooking oil..."
Looking at the piles of daily necessities, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction.
With the help of the system, even if he does not earn a salary, he can ensure that he can share abundance with He Yushui.
In addition, the function of storing supplies saved him a lot of trouble!
Just when He Yuzhu was excited, the boss walked up to him with a smile:
"Everyone has worked hard, so I'll give everyone a two-dollar bonus as a token of my appreciation."
These words caused cheers.
To the cooks, it was a paltry sum, but to the diligent helpers it was the reward for days of hard work.
The slightly uncomfortable mood they had felt before had now disappeared. They were all grateful to He Yuzhu because he had greatly increased the business of Tianxianglou and the bonus had arrived as expected.
However, Wang Fei, who was standing by, was filled with jealousy and could hardly suppress his anger.
He already felt that He Yuzhu was gradually posing a threat to his position.
In the past, due to the shortage of chefs at Tianxianglou, it was not easy for the boss to fire either of them even though he had a tense relationship with Chef Zhao.
But now, if He Yuzhu can really take his place...
Wang Fei decided to eliminate the threat at all costs.
Otherwise, life will be out of balance! He Yuzhu was completely unaware of this. After receiving the bonus, he was ready to leave work with a smile on his face, but his boss stopped him and said, "Master He, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Then he handed over a fish: "This is for you, may you have plenty every year!"
Chapter 14 Ayu's Welfare (Imitation)
As the boss finished speaking, the waiter at the door brought a carp weighing about four or five pounds and happily presented it to He Yuzhu. The helpers around him looked at him with envy.
Although carp is not as delicious as pork, a fish this big should cost at least several cents! If a big fish like this is brought home, the whole family will have to eat it for several days, right?
He Yuzhu didn't expect such a surprise. He thanked with a happy smile and prepared to go home.
However, when he stepped into the courtyard, he found that his sister He Yushui, who had already returned home from get out of class, was crying with a sad look, which made his face suddenly look solemn.
“Yushui, what happened? Who bullied you? Tell me, I will help you teach them a lesson.”
He asked distressedly.
Noticing He Yuzhu's arrival, He Yushui immediately went forward and hugged his brother. "Brother, they said that Dad is gone and doesn't care about us anymore, is that true?"
Hearing these words, He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment. He knew that such news could not be kept secret for too long.
I had planned to go to the Military Control Commission in the morning to complete the formalities, but the news spread rapidly in the afternoon and even reached this courtyard.
In fact, the person in charge was worried and felt more and more uneasy after He Yuzhu left, fearing that the children would be bullied and have no one to turn to for help.
So he informed other colleagues that if they saw a child named He Yuzhu, they must take good care of him.
At first everyone thought that this might just be a colleague's private matter, but after learning the details, everyone was outraged and denounced He Daqing for not being a father.
It is human nature to spread the word, and when so many people knew about it, the news naturally spread.
Since his sister He Yushui already knew about it, he no longer kept it secret.
After a while, He Yuzhu forced a smile: "Although father is gone, you still have me."
"Let's go and have a big fish tonight!"
The charm of delicious food made him forget his worries temporarily, and the two of them walked home happily.
In the courtyard today, many people who witnessed this scene expressed sympathy rather than envy for the big fish in He Yuzhu's hand. With He Daqing's departure, how difficult the children's days will be in the future!
Only Jia Zhang noticed the big fish. After returning home, she could not help shouting angrily: "His father just died and you bought such an expensive fish to eat. It's really unreasonable!"
"How much can two kids eat? Hurry up and bring some to me!"
After hearing the unfortunate news after get off work, Yi Zhonghai stood there in silence.
After calling several times without any response, the auntie went about her business.
Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "You just made a cotton-padded jacket, didn't you? I found that Zhuzi is about the same height as me. Give him one and send it to him! Winter is coming, and we can't stand being without clothes."
The old lady was so frightened that she was stunned for a moment, then she patted Yi Zhonghai on the forehead and said, "Xiao Yi, what are you talking about? That new cotton-padded jacket costs 100 yuan! Are you going to give it away yourself?"
Yi Zhonghai looked at the confused old lady, but his smile didn't diminish: "Do you know? Now that the He family is in trouble, how are the two children going to live? We have to treat them well, because they will still have to rely on us for their old age in the future."
"More importantly, I heard from others that although Lao He passed away, he left them a lot of money.
When the time comes, we can leave the retirement care to them, and won't the property become ours?"
"We can't let others get ahead of us, we need to find the jacket quickly!"
When she heard Yi Zhonghai's words, although the aunt was very reluctant, she finally nodded in agreement.
He Yuzhu and He Yushui were still young children when their brother Daqing passed away. Life would have been extremely difficult for the siblings.
Even if it was out of the obligation of neighbors to help each other, and even if they did not expect He Yuzhu to support them in their old age, the aunt was unwilling to sit idly by. She was sure that they would lend a helping hand if necessary.
Yi Zhonghai tightly grasped the new cotton-padded jacket he had just knitted and walked towards the He family's cottage with a look of joy on his face.
At this time, He Yushui looked at the table full of fresh fish that had just been caught, and a look of desire appeared on his lips.
As a top chef, He Yuzhu can make even a simple vegetable meal look extremely tempting, and the table full of fish is even more delicious.
He Yuzhu smiled when he saw Yu Shui's expression, stroked her head gently and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly!"
After hearing this, He Yushui nodded with shining eyes, appearing quite excited.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, saw the sumptuous dinner cooked by He Yuzhu and his eyes flashed with anticipation.
Although his monthly salary was not bad, about fifty yuan a month, he always felt empty inside because he had no children and was afraid of squandering money.
Yi Zhonghai knew very well the mentality of his relatives in his courtyard. Once he lived a wealthy life, it would inevitably arouse public anger and jealousy.
He was worried that when he got old and sick one day, others would just sit back and watch, let alone lend a helping hand.
Therefore, although the family had some money, his daily diet was not rich.
The fat fish in front of him was indeed tempting and irresistible to Yi Zhonghai.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming, He Yuzhu laughed secretly in his heart. He had already seen through some of Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.
In the TV series, wasn't it after He Daqing passed away that Yi Zhonghai began to show his goodwill to He Yuzhu, hoping to get care from him? Now that Yi Zhonghai has learned the news, he must take action.
However, He Yuzhu is by no means an easy person to control.
How can a person who wants to change his own destiny allow himself to be manipulated by others?
"Uncle, why are you here at this time?" Hearing He Yuzhu's question, Yi Zhonghai reluctantly left the big fish on the table, smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "Zhuzi, I just found out about your father today, I never thought..."
"Well, anyway, life must go on.
I think you brothers and sisters have no clothes in the cold winter, so I will give you this handmade cotton jacket made by my sister-in-law to warm you up. "Then he suggested: "Do you brothers and sisters want to eat with our family in the future? After all, we are neighbors, and we have to take good care of you!"
Yi Zhonghai was selfless but had his own plans. If He Yuzhu agreed, wouldn't the money left by He Daqing be within his grasp? This sum of over a thousand yuan was of great significance to Yi Zhonghai, whose salary was not small.
He Yuzhu now behaved as if he was already rich and bought the fish to entertain the guests.
Once the money is in his hands, the Yi family will be regarded as the benefactors of the siblings in the future.
Yi Zhonghai thought that when he was old, if He Yuzhu didn't want him to take care of him, he would become what people called a "heartless child".
.
If left unchecked, his reputation would be completely destroyed.
Although He Yuzhu was not clear about Yi Zhonghai's exact inner thoughts, he was unwilling to get too close to this hypocrite who seemed kind but was actually selfish.
So he smiled slightly and shook his head to refuse:
"Uncle, there are only incompetent children in this world, but no unloving parents."
"I can talk about myself, but it won't involve Dad!"
"Also, my father was very good to us. Although he is no longer with us, he left us a considerable fortune for us to spend."
"After two days, when I have some free time, I will buy a cotton jacket for my sister."
"And I work at Tianxianglou, I get paid, and the boss is nice, sometimes he allows us to take some food home."
"You don't have to worry about food."
“But I really appreciate your kind invitation.”
"If you don't mind, how about having lunch together?"
He Yuzhu's words implied that he wanted to see the guest off.
Although Yi Zhonghai was salivating at the big fish, he was still hesitant about dining at the home of a child who had just lost his father, so he could only smile awkwardly and decline: "Okay, since you have made arrangements, I will go back.
I won't bother you any more.
I will go home and eat by myself. Your aunt has already prepared a table of food.
After walking out the door, Yi Zhonghai's face was full of disappointment.
When Yi Zhonghai got home, he saw the aunt holding out the cotton-padded jacket again. He asked in surprise, "What happened? Didn't Zhuzi accept it?"
Yi Zhonghai felt even more annoyed when he heard the old lady's question, and nodded and said, "That kid has money now, so he doesn't need our support for the time being.
