He Yuzhu arranged the meals in the cafeteria. After the leaders finished eating and left, he cooked a few dishes and reserved some for Director Qian and himself. He shared the rest with everyone in the cafeteria and took them to the cafeteria director's office.

"Knock knock," Director Qian heard the knock on the door and said, "Come in."

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and said, "Director, the dishes are ready. Please try my cooking and give me some advice." He then placed the dishes on Director Qian's table.

"Zhu Zi, you are becoming more and more eloquent. It seems that you have grown up and know how to behave in society," said the director while looking at the food.

"I have to grow up. I was young and ignorant before. Please forgive me, Director," He Yuzhu said politely.

"We don't have any conflicts. The past is over. We just need to work hard in the future. Now, sit down and have dinner. You don't have to treat me," said Director Qian.

"Okay, let me introduce you to some dishes I cooked." He sat down and introduced them to Director Tian. The two of them started eating while chatting.

The meal was finished in a short while. He Yuzhu helped the leader clean up the desk, took the lunch box to the cafeteria, and asked others to help him wash it and send it back to the director.

"Zhu Zi, there will be an exam at Fengze Garden tomorrow. Although your craftsmanship is only at level nine now, I feel you can still take it again. You should go and give it a try. After all, a higher level means a higher salary. Don't let me down," the director instructed.

"Don't worry, leader. I won't let you down. I am confident about this," He Yuzhu said confidently.

"Okay, then go ahead," said Director Qian.

"Director, you are busy, I will leave first," and then he walked out of the office.

At the same time yesterday, He Yuzhu saw that there was nothing else to do, so he slipped away from the cafeteria again. This time he was going to go to the neighborhood committee to investigate He Daqing's address.

After walking for more than half an hour from the steel mill, I arrived at the Jiaodaokou Residential Committee. I walked up to the doorman, took out a cigarette and asked the old man, "Uncle, is the director here?"

"Who are you? What do you want from him?" the security guard asked as he took the cigarette.

"My name is He Yuzhu, I live at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, and I'm here to see the director to do something," He Yuzhu replied. The gatekeeper in this era is different from the school security guard in the future and they have a different relationship.

"Then go in. Turn left after entering the door, and then turn right and it's the house at the back." When the security guard heard the specific address and that he didn't look like a bad person, he let you in.

He Yuzhu thanked the old man and went in.

"Knock knock knock" He Yuzhu came to the director's door and knocked.

Director Li, who was inside the door, heard the knock and said, "Come in."

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and said, "Director, my name is He Yuzhu, and I live at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

"I've heard of you. You're a chef. Your father's name is He Daqing, right? He's also a chef. What can I do for you?" Director Li asked.

"My father left me and my sister and went to Baoding when I was a teenager. I wanted to go there recently, but I don't have the specific address or letter of introduction, so I came to see the director and ask you to think of a solution," said He Yuzhu.

"That's no problem. I'll help you check where he works. I'll also give you a letter of introduction. When do you plan to go?" Director Li called the clerk over and asked him to check He Daqing's current information.

"I plan to go on Sunday," He Yuzhu replied.

After a while, the clerk brought a document and handed it to Director Li.

"Is your father in the No. 1 Cotton Mill in Baoding, or in the canteen? You can go there to find him. I have also written a letter of introduction for you so you can go to see him," said Director Li after reading it.

"Thank you, Director," He Yuzhu stood up and thanked.

"You're welcome. This is what we should do. Come to me if you have any problem." Director Li waved his hand and said, "You're welcome." He then opened the letter and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll take my leave now," He Yuzhu said and left the neighborhood committee.

It was almost time now, and the steel mill was about to get off work, so he went to the snack shop outside the factory to wait for Liu Lan. He thought that with the seeds that Liu Lan had sent, plus the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, that would be enough. If he saw anything missing in the future, he could just fill in the gaps. The three-year natural disaster would have nothing to do with him, and he could also accumulate some assets. When the time came, he would help those who could be rescued, but he must not expose himself.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Liu Lan shouting, "Master He, hurry up and leave. What are you thinking about?"

He Yuzhu came to his senses, agreed, and went to Liu Lan's house with her. After taking the things back, he walked to a deserted place with the things in his hands and put them into the space. Only then did he feel relieved. Everything would be fine after eating and drinking.

When you arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and didn't see Yan Fugui watering the flowers at the gate again, you hurried into the courtyard to avoid being seen by Yan Laokou and harassed by him again.

Walking to the middle courtyard, I heard Jia Zhang in the Jia family's house cursing, "You are such a money-loser. You spent so much money."

He Yuzhu pretended not to hear, opened the door and went into his home, and began to prepare dinner. Today he would keep it simple, just some pancakes, some porridge, some fried eggs and some side dishes, and that would be enough.

Thinking of this, he started kneading the dough so that he could have the meal ready by the time school was over.

He Yuzhu first got a teacup of warm water to knead the dough. He worked the dough until his hands and the basin were smooth. He covered the basin with a piece of cloth and started to let the dough rise. After a while, he began to roll out the dough, add oil and salt. After the pan was hot, he began to make pancakes. Soon, both sides of the pancakes were golden and the aroma of the dough filled the air. After making the pancakes, he began to beat a few eggs, put some chopped green onions, and started to fry the eggs. While frying the eggs, He Yuzhu felt hungry. Maybe this egg was indeed different from that in later generations, because free-range eggs were different from farmed ones. Then he mixed a cabbage heart. After doing all this, he put it in the pot and waited about half an hour before Yu Shui finished school, and then he could start eating.

At the same time, the Jia family smelled the fragrance of pancakes and eggs from He Yuzhu's house, and the atmosphere became lively again. Banggeng rolled on the kang, "I want to eat eggs, I want to eat eggs, go and ask Shazhu for eggs for me." Qin Huairu was resting on the kang with her baby.

Jia Dongxu had been annoyed by his mother for the whole afternoon because of Xiaodang. He was so angry that he dragged Banggeng over and beat her up. "I told you to eat eggs, I told you to eat eggs, but you didn't listen to me."

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting my eldest grandson? What's wrong with him eating eggs? Why did Sha Zhu eat such a good thing? He should be sent to our house to eat," he said while holding Bang Geng to his side.

"Mom, just spoil him like this. This child will have a good future. Huairu is not feeling well, so you go cook today. I'm hungry too." Jia Dongxu said to his mother, Jia Zhangshi.

She originally didn't want to go, but when she saw her son's gloomy face, she got off the bed and muttered to herself to cook dinner.

"Brother, I'm back. What delicious food did you make today?" He Yuzhu was listening to the excitement in the Jia family when He Yushui came back and shouted.

"We don't have anything good to eat today, how about some pancakes with eggs?" He Yuzhu said.

"Isn't it a good meal? If I had to eat pancakes and eggs every day, I would be terrified," Yu Shui heard and hurried to serve the meal.

"If you like it, eat more. By the way, I have already prepared the letter of introduction. There is a train at six o'clock the day after tomorrow. Don't forget, you and I will go to Baoding together. I will be back a little earlier tomorrow afternoon. You and I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, okay?" He Yuzhu instructed his sister.

"I know. Don't worry. What should I say when I see him? I've gotten used to my current life," said He Yushui.

"If you want to say what you want, you are my sister He Yushui. What about your brother with you? It feels angry but you can beat him. Anyway, he hurts you so much when he was a kid. He took you so much bitterly, and it should be a meal." He Yuzhu looked at his sister.

"Yes, then I will beat him up and vent my anger," He Yushui said while waving his fist.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Eat quickly. The food will get cold soon. I'll serve you some porridge and some rolled eggs," He Yuzhu said as he served porridge to his sister.

After the meal, He Yushui did his homework, while He Yuzhu cleaned up the dishes. Then he went to bed to rest and signed in through the system. He got 50 yuan this time, and even a bicycle ticket. He was so happy that he thought he would buy a bicycle when he returned from Baoding with enough money, and then he fell asleep.
