"Hmm..." He Yu felt dizzy and asked himself in confusion, "What's wrong with me?"

"Hiss..." Suddenly, a severe headache came over him, and a huge amount of information flooded into his consciousness. It was a person's memory.

"He Yuzhu, He Daqing, He Yushui... Courtyard?" After receiving these memories, He Yu was shocked beyond words.

He has recently been obsessed with a TV series called "Siheyuan", but the content and values ​​of the show are difficult for him to accept and he doesn't understand why such a work exists.

I heard that there is an original novel and an original version, but the ideas in those stories are too bizarre, so the TV series has been adapted many times.

However, for He Yu, he is just an ordinary audience. He originally planned to complain with everyone online, but now he has unexpectedly become He Yuzhu.

"So many complaints, do I have to travel through time?" He Yu - no, now he is He Yuzhu.

It was December 1953. The day before, he discovered that his father, He Daqing, had eloped with a widow.

During this period, He Daqing originally worked in the cafeteria of Loujia Steel Plant, and so did He Yuzhu. However, as the steel plant was about to be jointly operated by the public and private sectors, He Daqing chose to escape to avoid becoming a member of the system in the future and being unable to leave freely.

He Daqing abandoned his wife and children to help the widow consolidate her power. This behavior was indeed inappropriate.

But He Daqing is not a stupid person!

At this time, He Yuzhu did not blame He Daqing, after all, He Daqing was not very old.

Since his wife passed away, he has been responsible for raising his two children alone, with no one to care for him.

Given his conditions, it would be difficult for him to find a suitable partner, and how would he arrange for the children after marriage?

He Yuzhu is now 17 years old. He has been learning from his father and has dabbled in both Tan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. He also works in a steel factory.

At that time, he had the ability to support his family, and his income was enough to support himself and his sister.

However, the original owner had a bad temper, acted impulsively, and did not consider the consequences enough.

His father's sudden death made his sister cry uncontrollably, and he drank excessively due to depression.

He took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I came early!"

After muttering to himself, he got up from the bed and began to search the house, because He Daqing could not have left with nothing, and he must have left some things for the brother and sister to live on.

Soon, he found a pile of money at the bottom of the suitcase. Seeing the banknote on the top, he read out the number in surprise: "Fifty thousand?" Then he suddenly realized that it was the first set of RMB, with huge denominations, and the largest denomination was fifty thousand yuan.

After sorting out all the money, the total amount reached more than five million, which is equivalent to more than five hundred yuan of the second set of RMB.

This money is enough for the brother and sister to deal with emergencies. After all, He Yuzhu and He Yushui are He Daqing's biological children.

Although He Yushui is only nine years old, he has already started school and is about to graduate from elementary school and enter junior high school.

She usually goes to school with the other children in the compound, so He Yuzhu doesn't need to worry too much.

One has to admit that He Daqing's arrangement was indeed thoughtful, but he did not take into account his son's intellectual level, nor did he anticipate the various ** people in the compound, and how powerful the widow would be in the future.

[From now on, I am He Yuzhu! ] He reminded himself secretly in his heart.

【Ding--】

At the moment when he completely accepted his new identity, a crisp sound suddenly rang in his mind, and He Yuzhu instantly perked up. Could it be that the golden finger had arrived?

[Career development system started! ]

[Host: He Yuzhu]

[Age: 17 years old]

[Occupation: Chef]

【技能:谭家菜初级(85/100)、川菜中级(12/1000)、面点初级(35/100)、大锅菜初级(62/100)】

[Space: storage space, planting space, breeding space]

He Yuzhu examined the system interface and had an idea in his mind: this is a career development system, and what he has mastered so far are mainly Tan family cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and pastry making skills.

However, the Tan family cuisine is not well-known. After all, it is an official cuisine with extremely strict requirements on ingredients.

The so-called official cuisine refers to several famous cuisine schools, which are famous for their lightness, elegance and fine selection of ingredients.

In the past, most of the capital city was occupied by government offices, and the cuisine was very particular. Everyone had their own specialty dishes to entertain colleagues or officials of higher status.

At the same time, official cuisine must be lower than palace cuisine, which is mainly reflected in the choice of ingredients, and royal tributes cannot be used.

At that time, Sichuan cuisine had not yet become a major cuisine, and the original owner once studied under a master, who taught him a lot, so it became his forte.

As for pastries, they are just steamed buns, noodles, dumplings and the like, not of high quality.

Although big pot dishes are not a ** cuisine, they are one of the important cooking methods. It is quite rare for the system to list this separately.

Finally, the function of the space is grouped together into a category that includes storage, planting, and breeding areas.

He Yuzhu hurriedly opened the storage space, and found it empty. Its exact size was difficult to estimate, but it was astonishingly large.

In comparison, the planting and breeding spaces are much smaller, each about one acre in size, and equipped with a well inside.

He Yuzhu was not sure how to use these spaces. He closed the space and began to think about the current situation.

Based on the dialogues in the plot, if there had been no time travel, He Yuzhu would have taken his sister to Baoding to find his father He Daqing, but in this cold season, they failed to see He Daqing and were instead stopped outside by the White Widow, and He Daqing did not dare to come out to meet them.

According to the original owner's memory, tomorrow will be the day for grading assessment after the steel rolling mills are merged.

At that time, the steel rolling mill was still a private factory in Loubancheng. Public-private partnership was an inevitable trend, and it was one of the first enterprises to implement this policy.

Steel is an important national resource and it is impossible for it to be controlled by private individuals for a long time. Lou Bancheng is also open to this.

If he takes his sister to Baoding tomorrow, he might not be able to catch up with the assessment and might even lose his job. The money sent by He Daqing might also be withheld by Yi Zhonghai.

Why He Yuzhu is so grateful to Yi Zhonghai is indeed worth pondering.

He Yuzhu frowned. He couldn't go to Baoding as he still needed to comfort his sister He Yushui. After all, she was only nine years old. She cried herself to sleep last night and would definitely be sad again when she woke up.

He got up in a hurry and immediately opened the two flour jars in his house, one containing white flour and the other containing corn flour.

In this era, northerners mainly ate pasta, mainly steamed buns. He Yuzhu took a look and found that there were about 50 kilograms of white flour and the box of corn flour was almost full.

He Daqing had prepared everything in an orderly manner. His family had cabbage, potatoes, radishes, etc. stored for the winter, and meat products were stored in the cellar.

It seems that He Daqing had made sufficient preparations beforehand, but the original owner did not notice it and thought he was preparing for the New Year!

He grabbed a handful of corn flour and ground it, and found that there were many coarse particles, which were far less fine than those in later generations.

He Yuzhu inherited the cooking skills, so cooking was not difficult for him, but the taste of the corn noodles was indeed average.

However, these items made He Yuzhu wonder: since He Daqing had a plan to leave, then these preparations seemed reasonable, but in the plot, why did the brothers and sisters of Shazhu have such a hard life? It seems that not going to Baocheng this time was the right decision!

He found a winnowing basket, sifted out some coarse cornmeal, and then threw it into the breeding space.

Then, he took out some flour and planned to make some multi-grain noodles, such as bi-jaw noodles.

He Yushui was still crying when she woke up. He couldn't let her eat steamed buns. A bowl of hot noodles with hot soup was the best comfort.

After kneading the dough, he covered it with a cloth to let it rise, then went out to the cellar.

It was still dark, and the days were short in winter.

He took out two ounces of pork and a head of cabbage from the cellar, which was enough for the shredded pork noodles.

The kitchen is outside, with a simple stove and a large pot of stewing water on it.

After rolling out the noodles, he first cleaned the pot, then without adding water, he cut some onions, ginger and garlic and prepared to stir-fry them with oil. Then he stir-fried the shredded pork, added boiled noodles, and finally put in the shredded cabbage, using soy sauce to enhance the color and flavor.

During the cooking process, seeing that the noodles were almost done, He Yuzhu stood up and knocked on He Yushui's door.

The little girl has her own room at such a young age, which has surpassed other children in the yard.

"Knock, knock..." He knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. He Yushui had obviously woken up a long time ago, with tears on her face, and it was obvious that she had been crying in the house just now.

"Sister, do you want daddy?" She hugged He Yuzhu directly, and her snot rubbed onto her apron.

“Okay, you’re a big girl now, stop crying, it’ll make you ugly.

"He Yuzhu squatted down and gently wiped away her tears," Go wash your face quickly, the shredded pork noodles my brother made will be ready soon.

"Gurgle..." When talking about food, He Yushui's stomach started to make sounds.

I fell asleep yesterday because I was tired from crying and didn’t eat anything.

I woke up hungry in the morning and cried in my bed. Now when I heard about shredded pork noodles, my stomach growled even louder.

"Are you hungry?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "There is hot water in my room. You can wash your face and eat." "Yeah!" He Yushui sniffed his nose and was led away by He Yuzhu.

Arriving at He Yuzhu's room, he poured a basin of warm water and said, "Come, wash your face.

The water is not hot, but just right.

After He Yushui washed her face, He Yuzhu asked her to wait for a moment and went out with two large bowls. Soon he came back with a bowl of steaming shredded pork noodles.

He placed the noodles in front of He Yushui and handed over the chopsticks: “Eat it while it’s hot.

He Yushui was indeed hungry, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

He Yuzhu then turned around and served himself a bowl.

The brother and sister enjoyed their breakfast while eating noodles. At this time, people from other families started to get up one after another.

Yi Zhonghai walked out of the door wearing a cotton coat, still thinking about something in his mind.

As soon as he went out, he saw the He family's stove.

"Are they up already?" he said to himself, and walked straight to the main room in the courtyard. "Zhu Zi, are they up?"

"Good!" Yi Zhonghai came in and saw that He Yushui was also there. The brother and sister each got a big bowl of noodles. This must be the work of He Yuzhu! He was secretly happy and asked, "Zhuzi, you got up so early?"

"If it's to find dad in Baocheng?"

"No!" He Yuzhu shook his head firmly.

When she heard her brother say he didn't want to find his father, He Yushui pouted her lips immediately, tears welled up in her eyes, "Brother, I want my father..."

"Okay, stop crying," He Yuzhu advised, "He's gone and he won't come back, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to leave in the first place.

"I was angry yesterday, but I thought about it this morning and decided that this is a good thing. After all, he is not young anymore and needs to find a companion to live with.

"I'm still at home, don't worry, Yushui!"

Although He Yushui was still sobbing, her emotions were no longer out of control.

Yi Zhonghai was surprised and couldn't help but interrupt: "Your father was indeed wrong in this matter. No matter what, he shouldn't have abandoned you and your sister.

"Wow..." Yi Zhonghai's words made He Yushui cry even more sadly.

He Yuzhu's face darkened and he retorted, "Uncle, don't say anything. Why doesn't my dad care about us? I'm already seventeen years old, working in a steel mill, and I have two rooms at home.

"If he marries a widow and brings her home, how will our family be able to live there?"

"This is the best solution. As a man, can't I support a younger sister?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment. His relationship with He Yuzhu was just that of neighbors and they could not discuss it in depth.

He had no choice but to admit, “Okay, I made a slip of the tongue. It’s your family’s business, so you decide for yourselves.

"After saying this, he turned and left, feeling gloomy.

After all, they are father and son. He Yuzhu suddenly let go of He Daqing overnight, which puzzled him.

Last night, Yi Zhonghai drank with He Yuzhu, and saw that he was full of anger, as if he wanted to burn everything.

But overnight, everything changed.

He originally planned to have the brother and sister go to Baocheng to find He Daqing in order to hinder He Yuzhu's rating assessment.

If he missed it, He Yuzhu would have to start all over again. How could he stand that with his hot temper? This way, he would have the opportunity to slowly control He Yuzhu.

But now, that plan seems to have fallen through.

He Yuzhu ignored Yi Zhonghai's thoughts and said firmly: "Yushui, I will take part in the level assessment. If I do well, my salary will increase, and I will make you new clothes during the Chinese New Year.

He Yushui sobbed, and when she heard about the new clothes, her attention shifted, "Really?"

"Really? When have I ever lied to you?" He Yuzhu smiled and comforted his sister, "What Dad left us is enough. I will take good care of you until you grow up and get married.

"Brother..." He Yushui started crying again, jumped off the chair and threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms. This time her tears fell directly on his cotton coat. He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hugged his sister and patted her back gently, "Okay, stop crying, the noodles are getting cold!"

"Go wash your face!" As he said that, He Yuzhu pulled He Yushui and helped her wash her face again with the water he had just used to wash her face. Now He Yushui finally calmed down.

Children are easy to soothe. Once they get through the initial stage and go to school and play with their classmates, everything will return to normal.

However, it is indeed necessary to make this new dress. After all, the rationing system has not yet been implemented, and most goods on the market are still allowed to be traded freely. I have to take this opportunity to make some money.

In addition, some supplies need to be stockpiled. Tonight, I can try out the use of planting space and breeding space.

After all, they only have that one acre of land, and if the growth rate is too slow, it will seem a bit useless.

He Yuzhu finished eating first, and He Yushui was not slow either, finishing the entire bowl of noodles. Then he started to burp.

"Yushui, do you want to sleep a little longer?" He Yuzhu asked while cleaning up the dishes.

"No, brother, what are our plans for today?" He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu and asked.

"How about I take you out to play and make clothes today?" He Yuzhu suggested with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go get the scarf!" He Yushui's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he quickly ran out the door.

He Yuzhu shook his head. Children are children, but He Yushui is in a sensitive period at the moment and she must be made happy and feel safe.

He washed the dishes, cleaned the pots and covered them, and turned off the fire before starting to change his clothes.

He Yushui was already prepared and was urging them on the side.

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Silly girl, we got up too early, and the store hasn't opened yet!"

"Ah..." He Yushui finally reacted and yawned as he sat down on the chair.

This little girl started to feel sleepy after eating!

He Yuzhu pulled her to his bedside and said, "Okay, take a nap first, and then we'll set off after you wake up.

Anyway, you're just going to take a look today. You won't get the new clothes back in a short time, so don't get so excited.

"Oh..." He Yushui's eyes were almost closed, and she fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.

He Yuzhu helped her take off her shoes and covered her with his quilt.

Only then did he have time to check the system information.

"Huh?" He Yuzhu was stunned. His pastry making skill actually increased by one level. Could it be that cooking once can increase one level of experience?
