Chapter 1 I don’t want to be a licker
He Yuzhu was sitting on a long bench, holding an enamel jar with the five characters "Serve the People" printed on it.
The kitchen in front of you is very lively. There are five stoves on one side against the wall, and several cooking chefs are busy working in full swing.
The long table in the middle is filled with washed ingredients and dishes.
There were also a few apprentice-looking men in white coats standing in front of the wooden pier, quickly cutting vegetables, potatoes, radishes, etc. under their hands.
The kitchen knife was very fast in their hands, and the potato shreds and radish shreds they cut were the same size and even in thickness.
He Yuzhu was a little confused looking at the busy kitchen in front of him.
Because my original name was also He Yuzhu, I was taken advantage of by my friends. I stayed up late to watch the TV series "Love in the Courtyard". How come I turned into the 16-year-old He Yuzhu when I opened my eyes?
From the memory of reception, I learned that this is the back kitchen of Tai Feng Building. This morning, He Yuzhu’s biological father He Daqing suddenly said that he would find a master for him. After sending He Yuzhu, who was just 7 years old, to preschool, he took He Yuzhu with him. Come to Tai Feng Building on Qianmen Street.
Then He Daqing handed He Yuzhu over to his senior brother Hong Henian, saying that he would be Hong Henian's apprentice from now on. He could beat and scold him as he pleased, as long as he could not be beaten to death and could teach people good cooking skills.
After sending He Daqing away, Hong Henian asked He Yuzhu to sit here and drink water, and then went to the head chef Zhang Zusheng to talk about letting He Yuzhu become an apprentice.
He Yuzhu thought to himself that although he was a 996 social animal and lived at the bottom of the city, the society was stable after all and he could ensure that he had enough food and clothing, but he didn't want to take this road.
Especially since this world is still the world of "Love in the Courtyard". Anyone who has watched the TV series knows that He Yuzhu's life is a miserable life, or a life of being sucked blood.
As a chef in a steel rolling mill, he earns a salary of 37 yuan a month. Although he has a bit of a bad mouth and is unpleasant to talk about, it is still easy for him to marry a daughter-in-law and carry on the family lineage based on his conditions.
It’s just that He Yuzhu met Qin Huairu with a white lotus, and the moral god Yi Zhonghai was assisting him. He was hung up and sucked blood for more than ten years. It was not until he was over 40 years old that he received a marriage certificate and entered the bridal chamber. Unfortunately, Qin Huai had been on the ring for many years. Ru did not give him a boy and a girl.
Thinking of He Yuzhu's tragic life, one can't help but feel extremely angry. Now He Yuzhu secretly told himself that since he had traveled through time, he should live a good life.
Stay away from White Lotus in this life and never be a licker.
I don't like to love widows. From now on, Qin Huairu's affairs have nothing to do with me, and I have to stay away from the moral god Yi Zhonghai.
The reason why Qin Huairu could hang him up was because Yi Zhonghai was behind it and used morality to kidnap him.
Just as he was thinking about something, He Yuzhu was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, pulling him out of his trance.
"Zhuzi, study seriously from now on. Your father entrusted you to me, and I will definitely teach you all the skills."
He Yuzhu looked at Hong Henian in front of him. If nothing happens, he will be his master in the future. He nodded and said, "Master, if I can endure hardship, I will definitely study hard."
Hong Henian smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have already told the head chef that you will come over before 9 o'clock tomorrow morning and practice your knife skills in the back kitchen first."
Hong Henian didn't say anything about accepting a disciple. He mainly wanted to observe him for a while. If he was an honest child and had some talent as a chef, he would just accept him.
If he's cheating, leave him in the kitchen as a helper. His skills can't be taught lightly, even to his senior brother's children.
He Yuzhu was a little happy that he didn't let himself go directly to work on the water platform.
As one of the seven major types of work in the Chinese kitchen, the water table is responsible for the slaughter and cleaning of poultry, fish, seafood, and vegetables, and helps the chef prepare ingredients and do preparation work.
The water table job is the lowest level. It is very hard and tiring. Because you are in contact with water all day long, your fingers and toes often get ulcers. Moreover, this type of work has no technical content and you cannot learn skills.
He Daqing had mentioned before that even if the master arranges the most tiring and dirty water table, he should not show dissatisfaction. He should do it first, and he can transfer to other positions later.
Knife skills are chopping boards. This is also one of the seven major types of work. It is to use a kitchen knife to cut the required ingredients into shreds, slices and blocks. This position is the basis of being a chef. Without good knife skills, there will be no good dishes. Presentation.
"Yes, Master, I will be here on time tomorrow."
"Well, you go back first."
"Goodbye, Master."
After bidding farewell to Hong Henian, He Yuzhu walked out of the back door of Tai Feng Building and soon came to Qianmen West Street. He walked eastward, crossed the square, and passed the museum, flyover, Dongdan, Dashilan, department store, and Wangfujing. This road is the busiest place in the capital.
After walking a long way, we arrived at Di'anmen Street. Turn north and you'll find Nanluogu Lane.
Walking into No. 95 Nanluogu Lane, Yan Bugui's daughter-in-law saw He Yuzhu entering the hospital and asked with a smile: "Silly Zhu, did you hear that your father said that he was going to send you to be an apprentice?"
"Yes, I went to work as an apprentice in the hotel kitchen."
After He Yuzhu said that, he looked at the future third aunt and said seriously: "Aunt Yan, don't call me Silly Zhu anymore. I'm not stupid. You will call me Zhuzi from now on."
Aunt Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at He Yuzhu's serious look, and forced a smile:
"That's fine, then I'll call you Zhuzhu from now on. I'll call you Silly Zhu, and I won't be able to call you my wife in the future."
He Yuzhu then smiled: "Thank you, Aunt Yan. Please remember from now on that I am not Silly Zhu, I am He Yuzhu."
Seeing He Yuzhu walking through the hall, Aunt Yan said a little strangely: "What happened to Shazhu today? Shazhu, who has been called Shazhu for so many years before, didn't say anything. Why did he suddenly change his face today?"
Aunt Yan's face was full of disdain: "Zhuzi? This name is not as smooth as Silly Zhu."
He Yuzhu entered the middle courtyard, and then directly entered the three rooms facing north and south. He saw He Daqing tidying up in the back room.
He opened his mouth and said, "Dad, I'm back."
Then asked: "Are you packing?"
"No." He Daqing shivered like a caught thief, then turned around and said to He Yuzhu:
"Why are you walking silently?"
"You just didn't hear it." He Yuzhu asked, "Then why are you packing your luggage?"
"Isn't it already spring? I need to pack up these old clothes and dry them in the sun, so that they won't get damp after being put away. You are getting older now. You have to learn to do these things, and you can't rely on them all. I support you."
He Yuzhu curled his lips. If he hadn't watched the TV series, he would have believed what He Daqing said.
Although the TV series did not explain in which year He Daqing left the Siheyuan and followed the White Widow to live in Baoding.
But combined with the fact that He Daqing does not know Qin Huairu, and that she was born in 33 and married into a courtyard house at the age of 18, we can conclude that He Daqing should have arranged for the original owner of Shazhu to join Taifeng in the recent period. Lou became an apprentice, handed it over to his senior brother, and then quietly flew away with the White Widow.
He left behind 16-year-old He Yuzhu and struggled to survive with 7-year-old He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu suddenly asked: "I heard from others that you have someone outside?"
"What? What did you say?" He Daqing didn't believe what he heard.
He Yuzhu said word by word: "I heard others said that you were having sex with a widow outside?"
