Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

Just when He Yuzhu was worried about eating, Master Ye also noticed his apprentice's embarrassment, so he called him to his lounge and asked:

"Zhu Zi, you have been here for seven days. I see that you have mastered the basic skills. Let me ask you, do you think you can cook now?"

"Master, although I have not been here for long, I am confident that I can give it a try. Please teach me."

Master Ye saw He Yuzhu's confident look and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, very good, I will show you now, you must watch carefully."

After saying that, he took He Yuzhu to the kitchen and started to demonstrate.

The dish being demonstrated was none other than the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that He Yuzhu had made during the exam.

Master Ye was seen performing his movements skillfully while speaking to He Yuzhu who was concentrating on the cooking: "Zhuzi, you have to remember that the most important thing in cooking is the heat.

Whether it's seasoning, knife skills, or ingredients, you can learn them just by watching, even if there's no chef to teach you.

But the only thing you can never learn is the timing, which can only be learned after someone’s guidance or after practicing thousands of times.”

Master Ye shook his right hand slightly, and the red and yellow gems in the pot flew gracefully in the air like elves, and then returned to their original places.

“Do you know why I make scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Because this dish can best show a chef’s control over the heat. If the heat is too low, the eggs will not be cooked and will not blend well with the tomatoes.

If the fire is too strong, the eggs will easily become overcooked, which will not only affect the taste, but also stimulate the original fishy smell in the eggs, making the dish a complete failure. "

At this point, Chef Ye's dish was ready. As he flipped the large spoon in his hand, a dish of brightly colored, fragrant scrambled eggs with tomatoes was served on the plate.

"Yes, try it and see the difference between what I made and what you made."

He Yuzhu looked at the plate that was pushed in front of him. Before he even tasted it, he knew in his heart that this plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was far better than the one he made.

If his dish could get a seven out of ten based on his many years of experience as a chef, then the one in front of him could at least get a nine out of ten.

They are worthy of being the top group of chefs in the industry. I am totally not in the same league as them. My sixty years of experience is nothing in the eyes of them who have mastered every technique to perfection.

After finishing Master Ye's dish, He Yuzhu also started to practice. Although he could replicate Master Ye's movements exactly, he still couldn't control the flames as well as Master Ye.

Just as He Yuzhu admired Master Ye's cooking skills, Master Ye was also amazed at the talent shown by his apprentice.

He had originally imagined that He Yuzhu's talent was high enough, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated his terrifying talent.

Obviously, he just demonstrated it once, but He Yuzhu imitated his own movements almost perfectly as soon as he started.

That’s not all. As time went by, He Yuzhu’s imitation became more and more similar, and the dishes he made began to resemble his own.

"Zhu Zi, I'll leave the kitchen to you. You can use whatever ingredients you want here, but I have one request. That is, when I come tomorrow, you must make me a dish of tomato scrambled eggs that I'm satisfied with. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master. I promise to complete the task."

Master Ye saw that He Yuzhu did not forget to stir the egg liquid when he agreed, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, before turning around and leaving, he said casually: "By the way, don't waste these failed products you made. Eat them all if you can. Otherwise, it would be a pity to throw them away."

"I understand, Master." When He Yuzhu heard what Master Ye said, he instantly knew the purpose of Master Ye asking him to practice.

It turns out that Master Ye, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, had long seen He Yuzhu's embarrassment, so he came up with this idea so that he could eat as much as he wanted with a clear conscience.

After Master Ye left, He Yuzhu started practicing again by himself. After He Yuzhu had eaten almost eight plates, he finally made a dish that was 70% to 80% similar to the one made by Master Ye.

When He Yuzhu saw this delicious dish, he felt relieved. If he failed again, he would not be able to eat it.

After finishing the ninth dish, He Yuzhu cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and then returned to the dormitory to start practicing Bajiquan.

But this time, He Yuzhu's stomach was full and he didn't feel weak like he had in the previous nights.

The food in his stomach provided He Yuzhu with endless energy, allowing him to punch three times that night before falling asleep exhausted.

In this way, for the next seven days, Master Ye would always take He Yuzhu to the kitchen after get off work to practice cooking dishes.

After He Yuzhu's dish was up to standard, he would immediately start practicing the next dish. He Yuzhu cooked all the home-cooked dishes such as stir-fried shredded potatoes, eggplant with garlic, and spicy shredded chicken in these seven days.

Due to the adequate nutrition in the past few days, and the fact that He Yuzhu's boxing skills had also made some progress, his height and muscles began to increase visibly.

After another seven days, after get off work, Master Ye did not take He Yuzhu to the kitchen as usual, but took him to his lounge, took out 70,000 yuan from the drawer and put it on the table, saying:

"Zhu Zi, you have been in Taifenglou for almost half a month. It is time to go back and visit your family. Take this money and go back to buy something for your sister."

But He Yuzhu refused cleanly and said, "No, Master, I absolutely cannot take your money anymore, otherwise I really can't pay it back."

Although He Yuzhu already regards Master Ye as his own relative, it does not mean that he can feel at ease taking Master Ye's money.

"Take it. This is not a loan from me. It's your salary for the past half month. Just take it and don't be so fussy." Master Ye glared at He Yuzhu and said with a stern face.

Taifenglou has a rule that masters pay apprentices wages, but whether or not to pay and how much to pay is entirely up to the masters and there is no mandatory requirement.

Seeing that the master had brought out all the rules of Taifenglou, he had no choice but to accept the money, and his gratitude towards Master Ye grew even deeper.

The next morning, He Yuzhu left Taifeng Building.

After a few days of self-study and Master Ye's instruction, He Yuzhu has learned the basics of Bajiquan.

If it were in the past, my martial arts skills would have just reached the threshold to make a living in the world.

Although he is still not a good person in the martial arts world, he is more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.

He Yuzhu was running all the way. On the one hand, it could exercise his body, and on the other hand, he wanted to see his sister as soon as possible after not seeing her for half a month.
