A Journey Beginning in a Siheyuan

He Yuzhu cooked some of the most famous dishes in Tan's cuisine, the most authentic way of steaming and bursting.

Tan's cuisine became famous and appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. It was because the Tan family had an ancestor who was ranked No. 2, and he loved to eat it, so it was also called No. 2 cuisine.

Later, he entered the Confucius mansion and the mansions of some dignitaries at that time, and his reputation and name gradually grew.

Gradually it became known as the best dish in the world.

In modern times, BJ and Macau may be the only places with the most authentic ones.

Of course, some of He Yuzhu’s novel ideas include just one dish, and the others include Shandong cuisine.

He Yuzhu set the time very accurately. Knowing that everyone had almost enough soup, he started to serve the dishes one after another.

When the dishes were served, He Yuzhu was also invited to the table. He Yuzhu did not refuse and accepted it very naturally. Otherwise, how could he build a better relationship with the Lou family.

During this period, everyone couldn't help praising the delicious food cooked by He Yuzhu, especially Mrs. Lou who had eaten the most authentic Tan's cuisine, which she hadn't eaten in many years. Thinking of Zongzong in the past, people couldn't help but shed tears.

He Yuzhu naturally boasted to everyone. Of course he knew what to say and what not to say. He paid great attention to the impact. This era is not one where you can have freedom of speech.

He Yuzhu felt a little strange. He felt that Lou Xiao'e seemed to be very kind to him. Whenever He Yuzhu finished speaking, she would enthusiastically agree and seemed to be staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Did I not look in the mirror when I went out and my hair was messed up?

How could He Yuzhu know that Lou Xiao'e was now focused on him.

As long as He Yuzhu's words and dishes were in her mouth, there would be an earth-shaking change. Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e's words were a bit outstanding.

But everyone still recognized He Yuzhu's cooking skills and his skills in speaking and doing things.

Father Lou looked at Factory Director Yang and said:

"Director Yang, thank you very much for letting us find the successor of Tan's cuisine. This is my wife's long-cherished wish, as a Tan's family member."

Director Yang: "This is what we should do. Isn't it my duty to do things for Director Lou?"

Director Yang naturally knew what a rainbow fart was, and he immediately said, "Director Lou is happy anyway, so it will not be easy for him to get a promotion and a salary increase. If he cannot be promoted, his salary will not be improved."

While chatting, Lou's father asked He Yuzhu: "Xiao He, are you getting married this year?"

When this topic was mentioned, Lou Xiao'e listened very carefully. She had never thought about it just now that He Yuzhu was already married, and she was deeply afraid that He Yuzhu would say that he was married.

He Yuzhu said: "Not yet! Where can anyone like me as a cook? He is ugly and the salary is low, so it is difficult to find him. I may need Mrs. Lou to introduce me to him."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e obviously felt very happy and relaxed a lot.

Lou Dong said: "Little He is not ugly, he is tall and strong, and he is still a craftsman, and your job is also very good. Now is a good era of proletarian revolution, and you working class people are the most amazing."

Mrs. Lou agreed: "Yes, yes, Xiao He is not ugly, he is a very capable young man."

Lou Xiao'e: "I think Master He Yuzhu is very handsome. With a high salary, the food he cooks is even more difficult to say. Moreover, Master He is obviously very knowledgeable and really excellent. He seems to be very reliable and trustworthy.

It looks like he is a good comrade."

After Lou Xiaoe finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Lou looked at her daughter strangely.

Lou Xiao'e, who is addicted to excessive praise, is already a little shy, praising a man in front of so many people.

Everyone knows that He Yuzhu seems to be interested in Lou Xiao'e.

Mrs. Lou said: "Xiao He, don't worry, you are so good and there are so many girls out there. Who doesn't want to marry you? I will introduce you to a few when the time comes."

That's good of course, then I'll wait for the good news from Mrs. Lou. After saying this, He Yuzhu laughed to himself.

After everyone had eaten and drank, the Lou family gave He Yuzhu a lot of food to bring, including some tea, ten pounds of sausages, and some dried fruits, melon seeds, peanuts and the like.

He Yuzhu took it very naturally and thanked Mr. Lou and Mrs. Lou.

In the jeep, the factory director and He Yuzhu were sitting in the back.

Director Yang: "Xiao He, I didn't expect that you were so outstanding today. You made me have an earth-shaking change in my image of you. Even what you said made me feel very reasonable."

"Keep working hard and don't give up on progress," Director Yang said and patted He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu: "Okay, I will definitely do what the factory director says and I will work hard to continue making progress."

Who doesn't know how to pat a rainbow fart? When He Yuzhu thought of this, he couldn't help but think about what the director of the factory just did in Loudong. It didn't cost any money anyway. If you were happy with the photo, you'd pay me back.

When the jeep drove to the entrance of the compound, He Yuzhu got out of the car and said goodbye to the factory director, then he saw the second uncle standing at the door.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong really wanted to be an official. He was very envious of the scene just now. He felt that that was his life.

He was shocked when he saw He Yuzhu getting out of the car. What was going on?

The second uncle couldn't help it anymore and started asking He Yuzhu.

Second uncle: "Zhuzhu, where did you come back from? How did you get into the car?"

He Yuzhu: "These are the leaders. They saw me cooking and looking handsome, so they specially invited me to cook. Didn't you see these things in my hands? They were all gifts from the leaders."

The second uncle also discovered what He Yuzhu brought back. Although he knew that He Yuzhu was a good cook, he didn't expect that the leader liked it so much and even picked it up by jeep.

He also wants to take a ride in this jeep, but he hasn’t done it yet!

He Yuzhu didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he walked back to his courtyard.

When he got home, he wanted to go there. He didn't have the opportunity or time to buy a lock today, and he couldn't leave his things at home.

So he brought up these things again and left them with his aunt. He also borrowed a bicycle and went out to buy a lock for it. The aunt went out to buy groceries and he hasn't come back yet!

Of course, the place to buy groceries was not far away, so he did not ride there, but went shopping with the third uncle.

After borrowing the bicycle, He Yuzhu rode to the state-owned department store.

He Yuzhu was also very curious about what the department stores of this period were like.

Arriving at the state-owned department store, He Yuzhu saw the words above his head, just hanging there!

There are no advertisements on it. This period was a planned economy, and everything was planned, so just seeing the big words "State-owned Department Store" is the best sign.

At this time, there were no privately owned department stores or supermarkets. Anyone who dared to open one would be in danger. This was something that was exclusively owned by the state.

Therefore, one company is the only one with no competitive pressure.

The sales staff inside were more arrogant than others, and their attitudes were really incomparable to those of later generations.

And you, the person who is buying things, are looking for others, not the person who is selling things, looking at your face.

In this era, such popular positions are really in demand. If you tell people that you work in a department store or a state-owned store, there will be many people who can introduce you to your job, and they will be very envious of you.

Walking into the department store, He Yuzhu found that there were really not many things sold in the department store. After all, the level of industry and economy during this period restricted the improvement of living standards.

He took out the tickets and money that he had prepared and gave them to the salesperson. Of course, He Yuzhu still gave him an extra dime and even said some kind words at the beginning.

Buying a lock was smooth and there was nothing like a scene in an urban drama.

After buying the lock, He Yuzhu also bought some seeds, especially rice.

Because he wants to eat noodles and rice! He doesn’t want to eat polenta and cornstarch every day. It’s fine for the first few days, but if he asks you to eat it every day, you will be disgusted and annoyed.

Therefore, He Yuzhu felt that it was necessary to improve his life. He should not let his life be too bad, at least not bad in terms of food and spirit!

Buy some seeds and plant them in the space. As for water, come on, the vegetables in the space have never been watered, and they still grow well. The space is a very magical place, and its effects are also very magical.

After buying He Yuzhu, he rode home to cook. After all, he still had to cook for He Yuzhu. He even got ten pounds of sausages. He must cook some for the old lady.

He gave three kilograms of sausages to the aunt, and the uncle also came back. He wanted to keep He Yuzhu down for dinner, but He Yuzhu wouldn't. He was tired enough today. He didn't want to have a few more drinks with the uncle. He went back to cook a meal and have a good rest.

one time.

He declined the invitation from the uncle and the aunt, and said: "I will cook it later and give it to the old lady, so I don't need to trouble you. Besides, I will also cook sausages for Yu Yu and the old lady to try."

After hearing this, the elder gave up.

He had not tasted this sausage for a long time. Such a scarce product was not something that ordinary people could buy.

He also asked He Yuzhu to find out what happened to the sausage. It turned out that he was cooking for the boss. The boss thought that He Yuzhu's cooking was so delicious, so he gave it to him, along with some other things.

Therefore, being a chef is still very good, but you can also eat and drink.

Back home, He Yuzhu had just bought ten kilograms of rice, cooked more than half a kilogram, and put the sausages in the pot to cook with the rice.

Let it combine with the aroma of the rice.

Of course, you can't just eat one dish, so He Yuzhu went into the space, killed a chicken, and cut half of it into pieces to make soup.

I'm cooking some vegetables.

This dish cooked by He Yuzhu is not as good as his for other people during the Chinese New Year. For example, the third uncle’s family may buy some meat to eat during the Chinese New Year! He really cheats, and there are many people who cheat and calculate like him

.

Seeing such rich dishes, the old lady couldn't help but ask: "Grandson, you brought me delicious food. I saw He Yuzhu bringing it to prepare food. Grandson, have you eaten it?"

He Yuzhu: "Old lady, of course I have eaten it, don't worry! I ate it at the leader's house. This sausage and some other things were given by the leader. Don't worry, eat it. I will make it for you every day."

The old lady was very happy to hear this and praised her eldest grandson for his ability.

When He Yuyu came back, he was shocked to see such rich dishes. It was richer than the previous days, including rice and sausages.
