Shang's father made all the arrangements and rushed home. Shang's mother had already explained the situation to He Yuzhu at the street office. Director Wang said that he would go to the courtyard in the evening to hold a meeting to explain the situation.

After dealing with this matter, several people rushed back to the Shang family's house in the courtyard. When Shang's father came back, everyone was waiting for him in the house.

Mr. Shang went into the house, drank some water, and calmed down. After explaining the situation to the family, the family took He Yuzhu and his sister out again and walked towards Cuihua Building.

Finally they arrived at Cuihualou at around 10 o'clock in the morning. After the family entered Cuihualou, the waiter came forward and asked. Shang's father said he wanted to meet He Yuzhu's master. He Yuzhu's master's surname was Wang, and his name was Wang Xinhua, and he was the Sichuan cuisine master chef of Cuihualou.

After hearing this, the waiter hurried to the kitchen and called Master Wang out. Master Wang was also wondering who called him. After coming out, he found that he did not know Shang's father, but when he saw He Yuzhu behind Shang's father, he understood.

Master Wang asked Mr. Shang, "Sir, what are you doing here with the pillar?"

Father Shang bowed and said to Master Wang, "Master Wang, hello. My surname is Shang, and I am Zhuzi's uncle. These are all my family. One reason we came here is because we just met Zhuzi yesterday and we came to Cuihualou today to celebrate. Another reason is because of Zhuzi and your matter. You see, this is not the place to talk."

Master Wang could tell that he was not looking for trouble, so he politely opened a private room. After arriving at the standard room, everyone took their seats. Shang's father spoke first, "Master Wang, we are here today for Zhuzi. We want to know what happened that year? Zhuzi said that you sponsored him for two months after his father passed away. Then Zhuzi heard from you that you didn't want him anymore and didn't let him see you. My silly nephew didn't even ask you to confirm it. I came here today just to confirm with you what happened!"

Master Wang was surprised and said, "Mr. Shang, this is not right. I remember it very clearly. On that day when Zhuzi was resting, an old lady with bound feet came to Cuihualou to find me and told me that she was Zhuzi's godmother. Then she told me that Zhuzi would not come in the future and she found a job for Zhuzi. Zhuzi was embarrassed to come and tell me, so she asked her to come and tell me.

I also told the old lady that Zhuzi was not yet a master and still needed more training, so he couldn't say he was my apprentice when he went out. The old lady was very rude and said that Zhuzi didn't need to be my apprentice, that his skills were good enough and he wouldn't use my name. After that she turned around and left. I haven't seen Zhuzi since then.

I also went to the courtyard where Zhuzi lived to look for him, but an old man in the courtyard said that Zhuzi had gone out to work and would not contact me again. I have not looked for Zhuzi since then. "

He Yuzhu was so angry that he trembled all over. Shang's father looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, come here! Kneel down and kowtow to your master!"

He Yuzhu came to Master Wang, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Master Wang quickly helped He Yuzhu up and asked what happened.

Mr. Shang told Master Wang about He Yuzhu's situation during this period. Master Wang was so angry that he slammed the table and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, Zhuzi, you are really a fool. Why don't you ask the master for clarification? After all, the master is your father's senior brother. Is he not as good as a neighbor?"

He Yuzhu also apologized to Master Wang with regret.

After a while, Master Wang said to He Yuzhu, "Okay, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. You pack up today and come back to learn cooking from me tomorrow. I will cover your family's living expenses. Hurry up and learn the cooking skills well and become a master as soon as possible. If nothing else, you can always find a meal in this huge city as long as you say you are my apprentice, Wang Xinhua."

"Master Wang, the rules cannot be broken. You don't have to worry about Zhuzi's family. He can just focus on learning how to cook. We are at home, and we are Zhuzi's family. You just need to teach Zhuzi how to cook and how to be a good person. He has been fooled by others and he doesn't even know he has a brain!"

Master Wang agreed as soon as he saw it, and then took He Yuzhu to the kitchen, saying that he wanted to test Zhuzi's current cooking skills. After a while, three hot dishes, two cold dishes and a soup were served in the private room. After the dishes were served, Master Wang took He Yuzhu back to the private room.

Master Wang said that Zhuzi's skills were a little rusty but could still be saved. If he delayed for a year or two, his future achievements would not be very high. He also said that he had already agreed with the manager of Cuihualou that Zhuzi would come to work tomorrow as an apprentice, earning 18 yuan a month.

Mr. Shang expressed his gratitude, and then Master Wang went downstairs. It was almost time for dinner, and the kitchen was still very busy. After Master Wang left, the others finished their meal and left. When they arrived at the door, Mr. Shang wanted to pay the bill, but the waiter said that Master Wang had already paid the bill. There was no way for Mr. Shang to ask the waiter to thank Master Wang.

They strolled back home again. Not long after they got home, someone came to the door.

Knock, knock, knock... There was a knock on the door. Shang Peng went to open the door and saw a young man in his 20s dressed in cadre clothes standing at the door of the store.

The young man stepped forward and explained his purpose. It turned out that he was a staff member of the street office. He said that Director Wang had something to do with Director Shang's family. It was said that one of the family went to work in another place and gave up a unique courtyard with a single entrance. He asked the Shang family to come and have a look. He also explained that only the Shang family could go there because the courtyard had not been vacated yet, so outsiders could not know about it.

After listening, the family looked at each other and realized that this should be the person the deaf old lady had called. Shang's father nodded imperceptibly, and then agreed to the young man. The family simply packed up and went out with the young man. He Yuzhu and He Yushui waited for everyone to come back at the store!

The family followed the young man all the way to a remote small courtyard. After entering the courtyard, the young man formally introduced the courtyard without any intention of taking action. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The young man was very surprised. He walked a few steps to the door and opened it. He saw several soldiers standing at the door. Two of them stepped forward and directly arrested the young man. The young man showed a horrified expression and said that he was a staff member of the street office and had not made any mistakes. Why were they arresting him?

The soldier grabbed the young man without saying a word, stuffed something in his mouth, and took him away.

The leading soldier outside entered the yard, saluted Shang's father, and said, "Director Shang, hello, I am in charge of this operation. Because the criminals are very resistant, we shot and killed five people on the spot and arrested five people. We will take them back for interrogation. We will notify you when the matter is clear. You can go back now."

Mr. Shang expressed his gratitude on behalf of the entire family, and then returned to the courtyard. After arriving home, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
