He Yuzhu chuckled when he heard this. Yi Zhonghai looked embarrassed at the moment, but he didn't dare to get angry.

He wiped his mouth and smiled: "Master Yi, what is the relationship between you and Nan Yi?"

"To be honest, I have never heard of this, and I am just telling the truth. Your affairs are not a secret. If others don't know, how could I not know?" Yi Zhonghai defended.

"Originally I didn't want to mention it, but since you are here, I will advise you to treat each other sincerely and make friends with your heart!" After saying this, he left after leaving. There was not much conversation between him and Yi Zhonghai, and there was no need for too much explanation.

He Yuzhu did mention Yi Zhonghai's situation and advised Nan Yi to think carefully. After all, Yi Zhonghai and Nan Yi have no blood relationship or deep emotional ties.

Yi Zhonghai always wants to play the role of other people's father and make decisions for them. This behavior is not very kind.

He himself was hiding his own experience, so why should he ask others to pay for it? He Yuzhu despised this point.

If he hadn't traveled through time, the original Sha Zhu would probably have been badly harmed by him.

Watching He Yuzhu turn and leave, Yi Zhonghai's face turned red and he turned away angrily.

He Yuzhu's advice was of no avail to a stubborn man like him. Even the deaf old lady was hard to convince, let alone He Yuzhu.

In the drama, the deaf old lady opposed the marriage between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, and instead tried to match him up with Lou Xiaoe.

Yi Zhonghai watched Sha Zhu fall into Qin Huairu's trap. Didn't he understand?

In fact, he also fell in love with Qin Huairu and looked forward to having Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu take care of him in his old age.

It was not until Lou Xiao'e showed up with Sha Zhu's son that he started to panic, fearing that family reunion would be hindered.

For example, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui both have sons, three each, but they still let Sha Zhu support them. Is this reasonable?

For He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai is just a small episode in life.

When he picked up the recipe book, he suddenly had an idea: Can we write a recipe book for Sichuan cuisine? After all, as the level increases, the system will continue to inject new recipes. You know, there are more than 3,000 modern Sichuan dishes!

If he compiled his own recipes, would his experience points also increase? Previously, he only focused on studying Shandong cuisine and did not think deeply about Sichuan cuisine recipes.

If Sichuan cuisine skills reach the highest level in the future, wouldn’t it be a pity if the skills are not passed on?

He Yuzhu's children may not inherit his cooking skills, and how many generations can the inheritance of his apprentices continue? By then, the He family will have nothing to do with him.

If a cookbook is left behind, the He family's cooking tradition will continue for a long time.

Of course, when the book is published, his name will also be circulated.

As a time traveler, he had no lofty ambitions, and being able to leave behind a cookbook was already considered good enough.

Especially after learning Shandong cuisine and palace cuisine, he can now make palace pastries. It’s just that the ingredients are difficult to obtain for the time being, but there will always be a way in the future.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu was excited, but he quickly calmed down. There was still a long time to go. After all, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword.

This amount of time is enough for him to complete the recipe writing. Currently, he is concentrating on studying Shandong cuisine, and will later learn palace cuisine.

A few days later, Qin Huairu ended her vacation and officially returned to work.

She did not interfere with Nan Yi's good deeds, and Nan Yi can now only meet Ran Qiuye on Sundays.

Nan Yi has also been studying recipes recently. Although he has memorized them by heart, he has been repeatedly pondering over each step, waiting for He Yuzhu's research results so that he can practice them himself.

This Sunday, neither He Yuzhu nor Wen Li returned home, which made Nan Yi a little anxious.

Ran Qiuye asked curiously, "Do you have anything to do with Master He?"

“Yes, I gave him two cookbooks that had been passed down in my family for generations, and asked him to study them first, and then we would discuss them together and improve my cooking skills together.

"Nan Yi explained.

Ran Qiuye was slightly surprised: "Does cooking need to be so in-depth?"

"Think about it, how long is the culinary history of our country?" Nan Yi said seriously, "Just considering the wide variety of ingredients from different places, how many different combinations, processing methods, and cooking methods are there?"

“This is an astronomical figure and it really deserves further study.

“As an intellectual, Ran Qiuye naturally understands this truth.

(He Yuzhu and his family did not come back today because he went to Tianjin and took the earliest train early in the morning.

He rode his bike straight to the train station, bought a ticket and got on the train, planning to come back in the evening so he wouldn't have to stay in a hotel or find someone to issue a letter of introduction.

The distance between the two places is not far, and the trains run frequently, so it is quite convenient in this era to go early and return late.

Although He Yuzhu has never been to Tianjin, this is not a problem.

After getting off the train, he walked out of the platform empty-handed, feeling very relieved.

At the entrance of the train station, he hailed a rickshaw and said, "Master, I want to buy some seafood. Can you take me to where I can find fresh seafood?"

"Oh, that's not necessarily true!" The cyclist frowned slightly, "It might be a bad time for you to come. You should have come a day earlier. It might be difficult to find work now.

In this era, preserving seafood was a problem. Not to mention refrigeration, even fresh seafood was difficult to preserve properly. There were not as many preservation technologies as in later generations, especially no modern storage equipment.

“Please, I’m a chef and I came from Beijing just to find fresh seafood.

"He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and handed it over.

The other party took it and saw that it was a Daqianmen with a filter tip, and put it behind his ear, then agreed: "Okay, I'll take you to have a look, maybe there are fishing boats returning, then it depends on your luck.

After saying that, the master pedaled away at a very fast speed because there were rarely traffic jams on the streets in those days.

The rickshaw arrived at the seaside, which was full of fishing boats. The fishermen set up stalls on the shore, and there were many people buying goods.

He Yuzhu paid the fare and ran over in a hurry because he was in a hurry.

There are rich varieties of seafood, mainly caught in the nearshore area, but due to the good offshore environment, there are relatively more types of seafood, and some come from shallow waters.

He Yuzhu asked without hesitation: "Excuse me, are these alive?"

“It’s alive now, but it will be dead soon.

"This fisherman looks quite old, but we cannot judge based on appearance alone, because most fishermen look old due to long-term exposure to wind and sun.

He Yuzhu didn't think much about it and said directly: "I want them all. Please help me calculate the price!"

The other party was stunned for a moment, then became happy and immediately replied: "Don't worry, I'll give you three dollars for this basket.

"Okay, I'll give you $3.50 for this basket.

"He Yuzhu took out some money and handed it to the other party, then picked up the basket and left. As he searched, he put the still-living seafood into the space. He wanted variety rather than quantity.

And the varieties here are also very diverse. For example, there are several kinds of shells, in addition to sea fish.

After finishing his collection, he strolled around again with the basket and began to select the species he had not purchased yet. It didn't matter what they were, as long as they were alive.

At the same time, he was busy as he moved, using the incoming water to start breeding. He no longer needed to care about those that could reproduce, but those that could not reproduce meant they were dead. The ones he was unsure of, he threw into the storage space and ignored them.

He returned from the seafood market with a full load, not missing out on any kind of seafood, but the limited capacity of the basket was a problem.

So he found a fisherman, borrowed his big pot and firewood, and started cooking seafood on the spot.

He planned to have a big meal first and then observe whether there were any returning fishing boats.

According to local fishermen, they go out to sea to fish both in the morning and in the evening.

Except for those drying goods, all the caught seafood needed to be sold as soon as possible. Due to the previous food shortage, Tianjin people rushed to buy seafood as a food supplement.

Cooking seafood does not require too many seasonings. Sea fish has less fishy smell than freshwater fish, and does not require too much oil when cooking.

Nowadays, when meat supply is tight, seafood has naturally become the first choice. Food that may have been ignored in the past has become very popular during years of famine.

Best of all, no ration tickets are required for this seafood!

You need a ticket to buy meat, and it is expensive. Pork costs more than 60 cents per pound, and you can buy more seafood, and you don’t need a ticket. This is the key.

Therefore, Tianjin's seafood market is extremely busy.

However, due to its short shelf life, it cannot be transported to other places in large quantities, and current fishing technology is backward, so the amount of seafood that small fishing boats can bring back at one time is limited.

He Yuzhu leisurely cooked seafood on the beach. He is a chef himself, and even without adding seasoning, he can control the heat accurately, and the dishes he makes are very delicious.

He ate with gusto. Seafood took up quite a lot of space in his stomach, so he enjoyed it in big mouthfuls.

The fisherman who lent him the pot came over and said, "Brother, you've never tasted it, have you?"

“Eating too much can cause diarrhea.

“It’s okay, I’m a chef, I know this, and my stomach is fine, so it’s no problem.

"He Yuzhu smiled and offered a cigarette to the other party, and asked, "Will the fishing boat come back?"

“Yes, there are several ships from our village that haven’t returned yet. Look at the sun, it should be here soon.

I'll call you when they get back.

“This person is very smart. He immediately went to do this after smoking He Yuzhu’s cigarette.

Sure enough, more than an hour later, the fisherman came to He Yuzhu and said, "Brother, they are back and will be landing soon.

"Okay, I'll be right there, you help me pick.

"He Yuzhu quickly stood up, put the seafood he had bought aside casually, and followed the fisherman straight to the beach.

A fishing boat slowly approached the shore. People from the same village helped to tow the boat ashore and then began to unload the cargo. There were indeed a lot of lively seafood in it.

After being introduced by the fisherman, He Yuzhu selected them proudly. He bought quite a lot, a full basket. He left satisfied only after paying.

There were two large baskets of seafood, part of which had been stored in the space, but he was still carrying them. He Yuzhu was very strong and just carried them away.

He found a secluded place and put all his things into the storage space. Then he did not go to the train station immediately as it was still early for the evening train to depart.

He started cooking in the space. After all, he couldn't take these seafood back, and bringing them back alive would arouse suspicion.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate for him to do it himself, and the storage space was equipped with cooking tools and seasonings, as well as firewood and coal briquettes.

He cooked in the space for the first time.

Through mind control, he can accurately control cooking conditions such as quantity and heat.

It was already past three in the afternoon when He Yuzhu boarded the return train. He was carrying a net bag containing several lunch boxes.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked gentle and refined.

"Comrade, what is this?" The other party was very curious and asked directly after sitting down.

"Lunch box!" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Of course I know they are lunch boxes, but why bring so many lunch boxes from Tianjin to Beijing?" This man is too curious.

He Yuzhu felt a little helpless. Opposite him was a young man who said, "Sir, isn't it not good for you to ask so many questions?"

"I'm just curious.

“The middle-aged man showed no sign of giving up.

He Yuzhu had to explain: "I went to Tianjin this morning to buy seafood, but I can't take these things back directly. If it was winter, it would be fine, but now it's almost summer.

I borrowed some equipment from the fishermen and cooked the seafood so that I could eat it in the evening.

"Oh, so that's how it is. But you really are not afraid of trouble!" the middle-aged man said with a hint of sarcasm.

He Yuzhu stopped talking, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and didn't want to pay any more attention to him. This man couldn't be spoiled.

Judging from his accent, he sounds like a southerner, perhaps he came from Tianjin by boat. As for what he does, He Yuzhu doesn't care, as it has nothing to do with him anyway.

The people in the carriage fell silent for a moment.

The train seemed to understand He Yuzhu's behavior, and made the sound of "shopping and eating, shopping and eating" as it drove all the way to Beijing.

He Yuzhu hurriedly got off the bus with the lunch box, found the bicycle, put the lunch box in the basket, and rode quickly to the Wen family.

There were only staple dishes for dinner, and everyone was waiting for He Yuzhu's seafood dishes.

He Yuzhu did not dare to delay and quickly returned, handed the lunch box to Wen Li and took it to the kitchen.

He heated it up himself before serving it to the table.

"Mm, delicious, this seafood tastes great!" The second sister Wenhui is a talkative person. After taking a bite, she praised it highly: "No wonder you went to Tianjin to buy seafood!"

“It’s not worth the trip just for this bite.

“Mother Wen feels sorry for her son-in-law.

He Yuzhu said happily: "Mom, don't worry, it's very convenient.

It’s just not possible in this season. If it were winter, I would just bring the raw ones back.

This kind of thing doesn’t require a ticket and is cheap. It would be a great pleasure to eat it during the Chinese New Year.

“By the way, kids, eat less and see if you get diarrhea.

Eating seafood depends on personal constitution. Some people will feel uncomfortable after eating it, regardless of whether it is fresh or not.

"Then be careful. You guys eat fish. Is it okay for Zhuzi to eat fish?" asked the eldest sister Wenxiu.

“There’s nothing wrong with eating fish. Sea fish has fewer bones, is not fishy, ​​and is rich in nutrients. It’s a pity that it can’t be used to make soup.

"He Yuzhu was still unsatisfied.

He discovered that cooking in the system space would increase experience points by double digits, and the specific value depended on the cooking effect.

This means that there is hope for the upgrade of Tan’s cuisine. I should have put more effort into the space a long time ago. I can only blame myself for being too lazy!

That’s right, He Yuzhu is just lazy. He doesn’t want to waste time in the space after returning home. This habit must be changed, and someone has to keep an eye on him.
