Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Upon hearing this, Liu Lan's interest was immediately aroused: "Silly Zhu, what's the matter? You're not here so late today because you have found someone you like, right?"

He Yuzhu followed up the conversation and replied, "Oh, that's not the case. I haven't found the right person yet! But this matter is slightly related to it."

Ma Hua, who was cutting vegetables nearby, also asked curiously, "Master, tell me, who do you want to be your ideal lover?"

"Ma Hua, cut your vegetables carefully! You always like to guess at everything." He Yuzhu gently blamed him, and then said to Liu Lan: "Things like this: I think there are always people shouting "Silly Zhu" and "Silly Zhu" in the factory, which is really not good."

At this point, He Yuzhu looked around, and the dozen or so people listening were also very interested. So he raised his voice: "If I want to find a girlfriend in the future, if she hears that I am called 'Shazhu', she may mistakenly think that I am really stupid - wouldn't it be hopeless to find a girlfriend?

Therefore, I hope you can all call me "Master He" from now on, or just call me He Yuzhu or even Zhuzi. This way, it sounds more respectable. Do you agree with me?"

Liu Lan thought about it and quickly replied: "Indeed, the name 'Shazhu' is not nice. From now on, I will call you He Yuzhu, He Banzhang! Haha..."

The people in the kitchen also expressed their understanding: the previous squad leader He always acted careless, so everyone could call him Shazhu casually.

But now, he has paid attention to his reputation. As his colleagues, we should also show more respect to him.

They all promised to change their words and call him squad leader!

And those clever little devils also began to curry favor with him, saying that when they delivered food to various departments at noon today, they would also promote it to other workers...

After laughing, Liu Lan continued to ask her own questions: "Okay, squad leader He, now that you have finished speaking, let me tell you my story.

The factory has decided to release the movie "Ashima" tomorrow, so I plan to take a leave to go out and watch the movie! After watching the movie, I will rush back to help you clean up the mess. "

Prior to this, the factory leaders had given instructions in advance: because a movie would be shown the next day, the kitchen staff would need to prepare extra work during this period - arranging a dinner specifically for the leaders.

This way, the leaders can come back and enjoy dinner after watching the movie!

He Yuzhu couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when he learned that they were assigned to cook dinner and couldn't watch the movie - he couldn't see the beautiful heroine in "Ashima"!

Not only could he not go, his apprentices Ma Hua and Liu Lan also had to stay in the kitchen to help prepare food, but at least Liu Lan was able to return after the movie to do the finishing touches.

After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu thought it was not too bad and agreed.

As time passed, the workers at the steel manufacturing factory, who had been busy working all day, began to leave their posts one after another.

He Yuzhu picked up his lunch box and prepared to go home. Today's lunch box was very simple, with only three or four white flour buns and no leftovers. He planned to eat the chicken soup in yesterday's lunch box tonight, and planned to fry the farm chicken prepared last night. He took advantage of the fact that no one was noticing and quietly took some onions, ginger, garlic, red peppers, and potatoes from the kitchen and put them in the warehouse.

So he would not consider eating leftovers for dinner, and his main concern was the staple food. When he saw that the cafeteria provided white flour buns today, he immediately packed them home so that he could share them with Yu Zhu later.

He left the steel plant and wandered around for a while. After making sure that there was no one around in a remote place, he took out a slaughtered rooster and took it back.

As soon as he arrived at the compound, he realized that walking was too time-consuming, and began to think that once there were enough eggs in the warehouse, he could consider selling them to exchange for some money to buy a bicycle ticket. In addition to the bicycle, he planned to buy some dowry items for his sister He Yushui, such as a cotton quilt, a kettle or a sewing machine, and also give her some pocket money so that she could rely on her husband's family.

When he passed by the door of Grandfather No. 3's house, the grandfather spotted him and said, "Oh? Yuzhu! What's the good news? Why did you buy a chicken to take home?"

In response, He Yuzhu smiled slightly, and continued walking forward without stopping, saying, "I just haven't had a good appetite recently, and I've been indulging in food."

But then he stopped and asked the third uncle, "Grandpa, I am straightforward and like to express myself directly! You are also a well-educated person, so you don't have to call me Shazhu all the time. From now on, you can just call me by my full name, or Zhuzi."

This made the third uncle feel embarrassed. He thought, "Silly Zhu" is a nickname that he usually uses, but why does he dislike it today?

However, in order to save face, he had no choice but to agree and said: "Okay, okay, from now on I won't call you Shazhu anymore, I will just call you Zhuzi, okay?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are indeed the most cultured and polite elder in our courtyard. Well, I will go home to eat first. Take care."

Then the third uncle shook his head and went back into the house.

On the other hand, Xu Damao came home from get off work today. He put the package back in the room and immediately went to the second uncle's residence.

Meanwhile, Yuchi comes home and tells her to come for dinner later.

When He Yuzhu just entered the house, he suddenly slapped his head and realized that he had forgotten to buy a lock. Although he had planned it the day before, he forgot about it because he was in a hurry to go home and cook. Forget it, he thought and decided to buy a new one tomorrow.

He put the whole chicken and the lunch box from the previous day on the table, and took the kitchen knife, cutting board and all the ingredients to wash outside. At this time, Qin Huiru happened to come home with a hen...

After returning to the room, He Yuzhu quickly used a kitchen knife to cut the chicken into small pieces, and cut out the skin from some of the fatter parts and put them into the stew pot that was being cooked.

Since there was not much cooking oil in those days, vegetables were usually wiped with pork fat before being stir-fried.

He Yuzhu also had a lot of rich stuff at home, but he disliked the black lard. Instead, he used chicken skin to extract golden fat and cooked delicious chicken dishes.

Fattier chicken skin is easy to extract fat, so he stir-fried ginger, onion, garlic and some chili peppers to enhance the flavor, then quickly added the chopped chicken. In order to avoid the strong smell of wine, he only poured in a little white wine that he prepared but did not want to drink to remove the unique fishy smell of meat.

Then add a proper amount of soy sauce to the pot and stir several times to make the meat color more attractive, and add some water. While the pot is covered tightly and simmered slowly, He Yuzhu cuts the potatoes into medium-sized cubes in advance and then puts them in.

Then, he found the clay pot at home and washed it carefully, waiting for the meat to be stewed for more than ten minutes before blending it with the soup to make a delicious dish.

He Yuzhu, who used to live in a small house, started cooking for himself after trying to order takeout for a while.

This was not out of love, but the result of frequent takeout meals causing him to suffer from stomachache and diarrhea almost every day!

Now that he has outstanding cooking skills, He Yuzhu will definitely not let his taste buds suffer.

The pot of roasted chicken and potatoes was almost done, and he started the chicken soup. The stewed chicken with fresh mushrooms was quite delicious, although the amount of meat was a little lacking. At this time, he was preparing to cut a Chinese cabbage and stir-fry it.

At this moment, news of a meeting in the courtyard came, which made He Yuzhu, who had been looking forward to dinner, suddenly filled with anger.

There is no dinner yet!

It's really infuriating, these crazy people always find trivial matters to hold nonsensical meetings.

A bunch of people wandering around after eating always like to make trouble for no reason and look for trouble!

He Yuzhu was not bothered by the meeting. He took the Chinese cabbage and fried it, put it in a bowl and placed it on the table. He wanted to invite Yushui to share dinner with him, and leave some for the deaf old lady.

As soon as he walked out the door, he called out, "Rainwater, Rainwater, come and eat!"

However, he was intercepted by his neighbor, Uncle Er, who was in the courtyard. "Silly Zhu, why aren't you ready yet? Didn't you receive the notice for the meeting? Your sister Yu Shui is already waiting there, only you are missing!"

Faced with such a situation, He Yuzhu only sneered, "Liu Haizhong, if you want to hold your meeting, it's up to you. I don't have time to meddle with you!"

This reminded the second uncle of what happened yesterday. With the new conflict intertwined, he angrily scolded, "Shazhu, what are you doing! Now all the residents of the courtyard have gone to the meeting, are you the only one who can't come?"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by He Yuzhu, "So? If I don't want to go, then I won't go! You little brat, why are you nagging me? You have no place here, go cool off!"

This made Liu Haizhong extremely angry, and he pointed his finger at He Yuzhu and scolded, "Silly Zhu, you are destroying the harmony! You don't even have the proper respect for your seniors!"

He Yuzhu pushed him away with a wave of his hand, turned back to the yard and called Yu Shui to have dinner together!

The only person left standing there was Liu Hai, extremely angry. He took a breath and tried to calm down, when he suddenly smelled a meaty aroma. It seemed to be from chicken!

Liu Haizhong rushed into He Yuzhu's kitchen and saw the chicken being stewed in the casserole. He knew clearly that the fragrance came from his room!

You bastard, I caught you red-handed! You must be feeling nervous if you don’t go to the meeting!

As soon as He Yuzhu stepped into the yard, he saw a crowd of people but he didn't care. He planned to take He Yushui home for dinner. At this time, the fat dean Liu Haizhong came hurriedly, shaking his strong body and shouting loudly: "Something big has happened. There is a big thief in our yard!"

Xu Damao asked hurriedly: "Vice President, what happened? Are there thieves again?"

Hearing this, the old man was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Damao's words, but he did not show much emotional change, and he blamed him, "Liu Haizhong, why are you so nervous and shouting?
