Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

Chapter 31 Old friends meet but don’t recognize each other

The human comedy of the Jia family did not cause much ripples in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. The workers went to work in the courtyard, and the children and housewives lived their days in an orderly manner.

For the Jia family, cheating and deceiving is also their daily way of survival.

After all, a widow like Jia Zhangshi, who doesn't work, can still support Jia Dongxu and help him get married, without cheating or blackmailing others, and lives a normal life. How can they live such a comfortable life?

In that era of food shortage and material scarcity, you can tell by looking at Jia Zhang's fat figure and Jia Dongxu's strong physique.

Jia Zhang thought that her daughter-in-law was unfilial because she dared not hand over the 20 yuan she earned to her. However, when she thought about the fact that she had eaten most of the crispy chicken and the meat, she swallowed her anger.

After all, she had worked so hard to raise her son, and she finally had an heir. If she really beat Qin Huairu, who was pregnant, she would be afraid of spending money.

Qin Huairu felt very reluctant to return the money she had earned, but since so many people knew about it, she couldn't deny it. She reminded herself to be more careful and secretive next time.

Jia Dongxu felt that this daughter-in-law was unreliable and actually returned the money she had earned. However, he ate the crispy chicken and meat, and even though Jia Zhang was slapped, he didn't care, and didn't feel at a disadvantage.

Instead, Yi Zhonghai came to the Jia family with some flour to express his condolences after learning about it, and reminded Jia Dongxu to learn the locksmith skills well and work hard to improve his work level as soon as possible so that the family's life pressure would be less. He reminded the Jia family again not to provoke the Xu family again. The power of the Xu and Lou families was so great that even an eighth-level worker like him had to avoid them again and again.

After Xu Damao found out, he kept comforting Lou Xiaoe and told her about how he was blackmailed by Jia Zhang for pheasants, sausages and eggs and how Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle, was biased towards the Jia family. Even though Lou Xiaoe was simple, she calmed down and thought about it carefully, and she knew that the Jia family was not simple. Fortunately, Xu's father and mother were protecting them.

Through the detailed introduction of the actual situation of each family in the courtyard by Xu Damao, Xu's father and mother, Lou Xiao'e also clearly knew that the Jia family was taking advantage of her as the new bride of the Xu family, and they didn't know the details of each family in the courtyard, and the Jia family came to deceive her.

The He family doesn't care about the shit going on in the courtyard. Ladi is almost 7 months pregnant. How to take care of Ladi's body and make Ladi and the baby in her belly healthy is the top priority of the He family.

With the completion of the public-private partnership and the start of political review, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill eliminated a group of people whose background and identity information were questionable, and then recruited a group of temporary workers and young and energetic apprentices.

On this day at work, when He Yuzhu was inspecting the work of three canteens, he saw three young old friends among the staff. At that moment, He Yuzhu's eyes were a little moist...

Recalling the details of working in the canteen kitchen in the previous life, and the love and hate in their work.

Liu Lan, in her previous life, had fallen to the point of becoming Deputy Director Li’s mistress, and they lost contact later on.

Ma Hua has many brothers and sisters, and his family is in financial difficulty, but Sha Zhu never took care of Ma Hua, let alone taught him cooking. On the contrary, when Sha Zhu was in the most difficult time, Ma Hua gave Sha Zhu some money, and then they lost contact. Maybe Ma Hua was not doing well, and was afraid of causing trouble to Sha Zhu! Otherwise, with Ma Hua's honest character, he would definitely come to Sha Zhu.

As for the fat boy, he followed Sha Zhu to work in the restaurant opened by Yan Jiefang and Yu Li. Sha Zhu got naughty and quit his job, but the fat boy had a family to support. In the end, Sha Zhu resented him and they stopped contacting each other.

He Yuzhu thought secretly: "How come these three kitchen workers, who are one of the "eight members", are doing so badly? It's all because of the fool Zhu in his previous life who was muddle-headed and schemed against by others, and didn't pay attention to the people around him. It's really "a bad soldier makes a bad general"!"

In this life, He Yuzhu wants to let them live a decent life, and live a fulfilling life with their skills.

After lunch, He Yuzhu discussed with the canteen director and transferred Liu Lan, Ma Hua and the fat boy to the third canteen, letting them work as kitchen helpers first.

I told the canteen monitor to let the three of them be responsible for the "cutting" of the three canteens every day: cutting cabbage into pieces, slicing potatoes, and shredding radishes...

After work the next day, He Yuzhu came to the third canteen and looked at the basins of washed cabbage, potatoes, radishes... which were so unruly in the hands of Liu Lan, Ma Hua and the fat boy.

He Yuzhu asked the three of them to stop what they were doing, picked up the knife from Ma Hua's hand and cut the potato slices smoothly with "click, click, click..." and the thickness of each slice was almost the same.

"Brother, you are so awesome, please teach us!" Ma Hua said honestly with a surprised expression on his face.

"Okay, I'll tell you the basic principles of knife skills, but you still have to practice more on your own. Practice makes perfect." He Yuzhu said seriously.

"Look at how I stand. The standing posture should be correct. The standing posture is commonly known as 'frame work'. The waist should not bend, the abdomen should not be protruding, the knees should not be bent, the head should not be tilted, the feet should be apart, the width of the shoulders, the abdomen should be about a fist's distance from the knife, the mind should be focused on the hands, and the eyes should be looking at the blade."

"Watch me move the knife. The movements must be graceful. Cutting, slicing, chopping, and chopping are all required, and different movements will appear. We often call them "hand gestures". The basic method of hand gestures requires stretching and generosity, free movement of the knife, proper weight, and proper speed. It should be steady without being rigid, light without being floating, and free without being empty."

He Yuzhu picked up another radish and cut it lightly, but there was no "snap, snap, snap..." sound. The cut radish slices were as thin as paper, connected and unbroken.

"You need to be skillful when using a knife. Mastering knife techniques requires skill. There are many types of ingredients to be used, and the shapes required to be cut are different. Even one dish often requires several different knife techniques. Strength alone cannot meet the actual needs. You must use a combination of hardness and softness."

He Yuzhu picked up another cabbage and cut it very neatly with "snaps, snaps, snaps..." Each piece was almost the same size and shape, giving people a sense of neatness and elegance.

The three people were stunned, and no one spoke. He Yuzhu looked at them and said, "Don't be stunned, go cut the vegetables, the more you practice, the easier it will be."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned and went to the cafeteria office.

"Brother, if we don't understand something in the future, can we come and ask you?" the little fat boy asked in a flattering manner.

He Yuzhu turned around and said with a smile: "I am in the office in this cafeteria. You three are welcome to ask me questions at any time."

"From now on, you can call me He Yuzhu or Deputy Director He."

The three of them stared blankly, mouths slightly open, as they watched He Yuzhu enter the cafeteria office...
