Siheyuan: Started from a blind date and being cut off

Li Ye didn't say these words to Ma Hua just to spite He Yuzhu. He was not that boring.

It is said that He Yuzhu is a stupid person and he is very stupid.

In fact, this guy is not stupid at all, he is very smart.

When it comes to innocence and stupidity, MCA is truly innocent and stupid.

What did Ma Hua learn after being He Yuzhu's apprentice for so many years? He learned nothing.

This era is no different than later generations, everything is about speed.

If you want to learn a craft in this era, let’s take cooking as an example. You have to spend three years cutting vegetables and doing odd jobs, three years cooking a large pot of food, and three more years to improve your cooking skills until you can run a small stove for a leader, and then you can become a chef.

.

Why do I say this? Because this can reflect He Yuzhu’s cleverness and thief.

The current timeline is 1962, and Ma Hua has been learning cooking with He Yuzhu for almost a year.

The timeline of the first episode of the TV series is 1965, and Ma Hua has been studying cooking for more than three years, almost four years.

After studying for almost four years, did He Yuzhu let Ma Hua take charge of the cooking? He didn't even let Ma Hua cook big pots of food, and always let Ma Hua do some chores such as washing, chopping, and doing chores.

Do you think He Yuzhu is stupid and can't become a teacher? Wrong, he did this on purpose.

Everyone who knows He Yuzhu from the courtyard to the steel rolling mill knows what kind of bad temper He Yuzhu has.

Which leader would like such a bad-tempered subordinate? Once there is a person in the cafeteria who can rival him in cooking skills and has a gentler and more obedient temper, believe it or not, he will lose his current status immediately?

This is the real reason why He Yuzhu didn't let Ma Hua and Fatty take charge.

Facts have proven that what he did was effective.

Later, He Yuzhu temporarily lost his position as the chef of a canteen because of his stupidity, and the people in charge became Ma Hua and Fatty.

The workers could bear the food cooked by these two fake disciples who had not received the true inheritance of He Yuzhu, but the leaders could not bear it.

Li Changming felt that the food cooked by Ma Hua and Fatty in the small stove was unpalatable, so he invited He Yuzhu back as the chef despite Xu Damao's objection.

Look, do you think I am a fool? I am smart.

If he is the only person in a cafeteria who masters the core skills, he can always hold the position of chef.

Poor guy Ma Hua, he was loyal to He Yuzhu, but when the fat man betrayed him, he didn't rebel and kept following He Yuzhu.

Unfortunately, this loyalty was of no use and I didn’t learn any skills.

Li Ye thinks that this guy from Ma Hua is a nice person, kind and righteous, and there is no need to worry about such a person stabbing him in the back.

It would be a waste of talent for such a person to stay under He Yuzhu, so Li Ye said those words to let Ma Hua see clearly what kind of person his master was.

"Master, is what Li Ye said true? Your grandma ruined his blind date, and you hit him?"

Ma Hua asked He Yuzhu.

"Talk less and do more. Is this your responsibility? Go ahead and chop the vegetables."

He Yuzhu scolded Ma Hua impatiently.

Ma Hua was helpless and could only go on chopping vegetables without daring to say any more words.

I saw Ma Hua picking up a Chinese cabbage from the basket, picking off the few withered and yellow leaves outside, and started cutting it randomly.

Li Ye couldn't help but ask: "Ma Hua, how long have you been an apprentice?"

"In two months it will be a year."

Ma Hua replied.

"Didn't your master teach you how to handle ingredients and knife skills?"

Li Ye's words stunned Ma Hua.

"My master told me that just cut it into pieces. There is no need for any tricks. Just cut it into similar sizes."

Ma Hua was full of doubts. He understood knife skills easily. He Yuzhu told him that he was still young and would learn knife skills in the future. He really didn’t understand the processing of ingredients. Did the ingredients need special processing methods?

“Cooking is a science and requires a lot of knowledge, so you can’t just do it casually.

Every ingredient has its own characteristics and different processing methods.

Take the cabbage in your hand. If you want to be a chef, you can't just cut it into similar sizes.

The correct way to handle it is to first cut the Chinese cabbage into four quarters, remove the inedible roots, and then cut it vertically. Do you understand?

Do you know why you need to divide it into four parts and cut it vertically? Because the fibers of Chinese cabbage grow vertically, and these fibers are equivalent to human blood vessels.

Cutting vertically can reduce water loss, retain relatively complete crude fiber, and taste crisper. When the small stove is turned on, the Chinese cabbage cut in this way will be more beautiful on the plate.

Just cook a big pot of food for the workers to eat, the workers don't care about that.

You said that if leaders from the factory, or even foreign guests, came and asked you to help, you would be scolded by the old chef if you were cut like this, did you know that?"

Li Ye's words shocked Ma Hua and everyone in the kitchen. There is so much care in chopping Chinese cabbage?

They didn't quite understand the fiber and the presentation, but they felt it was very powerful.

"Li Ye, it's just a piece of cabbage. Is it really as meticulous as you say?"

Female worker Liu Lan asked.

This Liu Lan was Li Changming's lover, and it was because of Li Changming's relationship that she got a job as a female worker in the cafeteria.

Li Ye smiled and said to Liu Lan: "Let me give you another example. We are all blacksmiths. Why are some blacksmiths only able to produce some parts in the workshop, while some blacksmiths can go to factories that produce aircraft?

What about forging fighter wings?

They all use hammers to hit things, but the difference is so big, and there is a lot of knowledge in the middle."

The example given by Li Ye is newsy.

These days, workers are in charge. Which worker does a good job can be published in the newspaper.

Some time ago, a forger was in the newspaper, saying that the wings of the aircraft were struck more than ten or two hundred thousand times with his hammer, which greatly improved the stability of the aircraft during flight. He was hailed as an outstanding worker representative.

After listening to Li Ye's words, and then thinking of the news in the newspaper, everyone could understand it at once. There is a lot of knowledge in every line!

Ma Hua, the client, was even more stunned. He felt that Li Ye looked so powerful and was much more professional than his master. He could also cite various classic cases and was logical and persuasive.

Li Ye picked up a few pieces of Chinese cabbage that MCA had just cut, and criticized: "You call this knife skill? It can be said that your knife skill has no knife skills at all, and it is all blind cutting."

"The master told me that knife skills come from practice. If you cut vegetables for a few more years, your knife skills will naturally improve. Maybe I haven't cut enough vegetables."

Ma Hua scratched his head and said.

"Fart, knife skills are a skill that need to be practiced consciously.

Your parents have been chopping vegetables and cooking for decades. According to your master, aren't your parents masters of knife skills?

The workers in the chicken farm who cut chicken vegetables and feed them every day are even more masters among knife masters."

On the surface, Li Ye rejected everything Ma Hua said, but in fact he rejected everything He Yuzhu said.

He Yuzhu on the side became anxious.
