Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Everyone went to eat with doubt, but after taking a bite.

Everyone looked unhappy, not because the food tasted bad, but because it tasted so good that they couldn't believe it.

As an apprentice, He Yuzhu was able to achieve such success in just three months.

They felt a little disappointed, but losing is losing.

With a talent like He Yuzhu, who else could become the second best chef?

When Manager Gu saw that everyone was quiet, he knew that everyone knew about this matter.

But he still went through the motions and asked, "Is there anyone who is unconvinced and wants to challenge me?"

After that, there was silence for a long time.

No one stood up, and everyone accepted the reality in silence.

"In that case, congratulations to our Zhuzi for becoming the new second chef. You should also work hard. Sooner or later, you will also be able to become the second chef."

Manager Gu announced the good news so as not to encourage others.

Seeing their discouraged look, Manager Gu said, "Of course, you are not just the second chef. If you can have the cooking skills of Master Tian, ​​it is not impossible for you to become the head chef."

"You all know that I don't do fancy things. As long as you have the ability, I will give you a chance."

"Like Zhuzi, he is now at the level of a second chef, so I will let Zhuzi be the second chef."

Manager Gu's words really inspired them.

He Yuzhu looked at Manager Gu and Tian Zehua with gratitude and said, "Master, Manager Gu, don't worry, I will never embarrass our Hongbinlou as the second chef."

Manager Gu nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, there will be customers soon, you guys continue to be busy."

After saying that, he went out.

Tian Zehua probably had something else to say, so he followed him out.

Manager Gu looked at Tian Zehua and couldn't help but praise him, saying, "Master Tian, ​​you are amazing. You have taught Zhuzi so well in just three months. You can be a chef if you are working outside."

Hearing this, Tian Zehua shook his head.

"I am so busy all day, concentrating on making my own dishes. Zhuzi is a smart kid. Every time he finishes his work, he watches me. I didn't expect that he remembered everything. Having such an apprentice makes me less worried."

"I am the kind of master who is not afraid of being looked at, but some disciples don't even want to be looked at. If they could all be like Zhuzi, I think they would have succeeded long ago."

Tian Zehua sighed.

In Tian Zehua's eyes, He Yuzhu's success was inevitable.

In fact, sometimes cooking, in the eyes of some people, is all the same, but in fact there is not much difference.

In addition, many dishes are repetitive, and the process is boring in the eyes of many people.

But even though it was such a boring process, He Yuzhu was able to follow it throughout without showing any look of disgust.

This is what makes He Yuzhu different. It is precisely because of He Yuzhu's persistence that he succeeded while those people failed.

After hearing Tian Zehua's words, Manager Gu also nodded.

"I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect you to have really found a treasure."

Speaking of which, Manager Gu initially thought that Tian Zehua’s request was too unreasonable and wanted his own people to do everything.

Unexpectedly, Tian Zehua had found a treasure. He Yuzhu is indeed a rare talent.

"Actually, I discovered it by accident. I didn't expect Zhuzi to be so smart and powerful."

Manager Gu smiled and nodded: "I understand. It would be really proud for a master to see his skills being learned by others."

"Yes, in fact, disciples are afraid of following a half-baked master, and so are masters. They are all afraid that their disciples will not be able to make progress. I am so lucky. My previous disciples were mediocre, but this time I can rest assured."

Manager Gu looked at Tian Zehua's cheerful face and reminded her with a smile: "Be happy, but don't forget that your work is the most important."

"Don't worry, Manager Gu, I remember all of this."

"That's good. Many regular customers came to me during the Chinese New Year and said it was a pity that they couldn't eat the dishes you cooked during the Chinese New Year." Ever since Hongbinlou started its holidays, many customers still complained.

Tian Zehua smiled and said, "Manager Gu, don't worry, I will make sure to prepare a table of delicious dishes to entertain the guests."

"One table is not enough. We need more than just that many guests," said Manager Gu with a smile.

"Then don't worry, Manager Gu. I will do my best to entertain no matter how many people come."

After hearing what Tian Zehua said, Manager Gu nodded with satisfaction.

In the kitchen.

Everyone still felt that what happened today was a little unbelievable. He Yuzhu actually became the second chef!

"Zhu Zi, you are really a hidden talent!"

"I was told that you stare at your master every day after you finish your work. It turns out you are trying to steal his skills."

"What do you mean by stealing my skills? We are a formal master-disciple relationship."

"It is also true."

Everyone was talking at once and it was very noisy.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu said, "Don't talk to me in such a weird way."

"You became the second chef so quickly, isn't that a bit crazy?"

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu speechlessly. He became the second chef in just three months.

They are not even allowed to say a few more words, which is really too demanding.

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly and said, "I understand what you mean, but you also knew it when I came to become your disciple."

"My father is the heir of Tan's cuisine. He is a chef. I have been influenced by him since I was a child. It is normal that I learn quickly."

"Besides, my dad is gone and I have to take care of my sister. If I don't learn quickly, I'm afraid my sister and I won't even have a job."

The reasons given by He Yuzhu are all very realistic.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Master recommended me because he was afraid that I would be poor and unable to survive," He Yuzhu added.

After listening to this, everyone suddenly felt more sympathetic towards He Yuzhu.

Everyone knows that his father ran away.

But He Yuzhu is a very loyal person. He even gave up his own child.

He Yuzhu was only sixteen years old this year, so he took his sister with him and started traveling on his own.

This kind of growth process is really hard.

So he became the second chef, which seemed very lucky, but everyone could see the sadness behind it.

Especially when you think about the fact that He Yuzhu is only sixteen years old and has to take care of a six-year-old girl, he probably doesn't have much money, or even no money at all.

If this doesn't allow He Yuzhu to have a way to make money, it would really be pushing him to death.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was in a bad mood, they all smiled at him.

"Anyway, congratulations, Zhuzi."
