Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Generally speaking, the sound we hear from pigs is usually grunting. But when facing **, the heart-wrenching sound of the pigs is "ei~"

He stabbed the pig's neck quickly and accurately, severing the artery and causing Xiaozhuang to struggle in pain and bleed into the container nearby.

The woman in doctor's uniform couldn't bear to watch and covered her eyes, and the short-haired lady also looked unacceptable...

After the blood was drained, the dead animal's surface was burned with hot water, and then help was called in to remove the remaining hair.

After Xiao Zhuang had cleaned everything, He Yuzhu then skillfully used a long knife to cut the pork and start dividing it.

In ancient times, there was the butcher Ding who could butcher an ox with ease. Now, He Yuzhu uses his unique technique to cut up a fat pig. His skills are so proficient that he can accurately cut into each part without damaging the bones. The process is simply amazing!

After cutting open the pig's belly, the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines and other internal organs are revealed one by one...

After the internal organs are carefully sorted, someone will quickly deal with the pig lungs and large and small intestines and clean them thoroughly.

Next, it was He Yuzhu's turn to show off his skills. He first carefully separated the tenderloin, spareribs, pork belly, shank bones, front and back legs, and pig's feet... The whole process was like a wonderful performance, and the audience's faces were filled with satisfied smiles, praising his smooth and beautiful techniques.

The pork was finely cut and handed over to others for cleaning. He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen and instructed a chef to cut the fat into small pieces and put them into a large pot with water to prepare lard. He also ordered another strong man to chop the pork bones and assigned another person to cut the ribs into even small pieces... As the saying goes - if you want to cook delicious food, you have to make bone soup!

At the same time, fresh white radish is added to the simmering soup.

After refining the lard, carefully scoop it out from the oil residue.

Then use the small amount of lard remaining in the pot to stir-fry the prepared cabbage. The heavy oil and sufficient seasoning make the cabbage more delicious.

Then, wash the wok, pour enough oil into it and heat it up, add the diced pork belly and stir-fry until it is colored; add ginger, cooking wine, soy sauce, and a large amount of water, add the pre-cut potatoes when it boils, and add the appropriate amount of salt...

This is a delicious dish of braised pork belly with potatoes.

Then chop the lean meat into fine pieces, mix with shredded mushrooms, finely chopped carrot strips, coriander, chopped green onions and ginger, and an appropriate amount of corn starch... These will be made into big meatballs!

Another portion of braised eggplant, braised spareribs, stir-fried pork lung slices and shredded radish...

And pork vermicelli soup!

However, there was not enough pig blood for all the workers to eat at meals, so only a portion of it was put into the strong and delicious bone soup.

This is a delicious combination of various meats, some light vegetables and a big soup!

He directed the chefs to work together. With close cooperation and execution of instructions, a meal for the workers was quickly completed...

Afterwards, He Yuzhu began to cook special dishes for the management! This time, he specially prepared blood glutinous rice sausage and set about creating a traditional "New Year Pig Dinner"!

Traditional pig-killing dishes were originally one of the festival delicacies in Northeast China. In the past, when pigs were slaughtered at the end of the year or the beginning of the next year, rural households would add large pieces of cooked meat made from the blood of the pig's neck to sauerkraut and cook them together. Water and other seasonings were added continuously during the process. After the ingredients were stewed and softened, the blood sausage that had been prepared was cut into pieces and added to continue cooking. In the end, three dishes were presented: one dish of cooked meat slices, one dish of cooked sauerkraut, and another dish of boiled blood sausage; of course, there are also versions that directly mix them together. The unique flavor of such recipes is often not the taste of the first time they are baked, but the longer they are stored, the more wonderful it tastes when they are reheated.

Then, we used different ingredients and condiments to make pig’s trotters, including Dongpo pork elbow, sweet and sour spareribs, boiled pork strips, pork with preserved vegetables and steamed spareribs with rice flour, totaling more than a dozen dishes…

The whole process was extremely exhausting for He Yuzhu. After the task was completed, he secretly made a brief change when no one was paying attention, in this way achieving the effect of quickly recovering.

When returning after being away for a while, He Yuzhu specially saw Nan Yi who was leisurely taking a rest and enjoying a relaxing moment. This person's shiny hairstyle was particularly eye-catching!

### 43 Intoxicated ###

After He Yuzhu finished cooking for the machine repair factory, he won unanimous praise from the workers there. After enjoying a sumptuous lunch with the factory leaders, he did not drink a drop of wine himself - in fact, he cleverly transferred the wine into a special space to decompose it.

This calm and unobtrusive drinking was shocking, and the factory staff did not dare to compete with him easily. Before leaving, He Yuzhu received a piece of pork belly as a reward, and Director Liu sent someone to send him home. Although a little helpless, he realized that this machine repair factory was not rich, and other gifts were of little use, and he himself was not short of money at all. As for various scarce commodity tickets, He Yuzhu did not need them very much. Ordinary ones could be purchased by himself, and particularly valuable ones might be valuable. However, Director Liu would probably not be willing to share high-end ones, such as tickets for buying Maotai liquor... In short, after working so hard for so long, he only got some pork...

I secretly complained in my heart and decided that I would never cook for them so easily again!

---

The next night, when it was quiet and no one was around, He Yuzhu transformed himself into a carrier pigeon and returned to a police station near the machine repair factory. He quietly dealt with the problem of a man named Cui Dake. At about three o'clock before dawn, he went to the downtown area to sell things.

After two days of short daily work, he was summoned again by the factory director Yang. Director Yang ordered him to go to a certain place in his car after work in the evening and concentrate on cooking there. He Yuzhu immediately understood the purpose of this time - obviously, this time he was cooking for an important leader.

This time, when going to the big shot's house to cook, the twists and turns in the original novel did not occur - for example, Xu Damao was not there, and there was no misunderstanding to clarify between him and the leader's wife, nor was there any episode about Xu Damao sowing discord. Therefore, everything was very normal and there was no need to elaborate.

After that, He Yuzhu went to the big shot's house about twice a week to cook and established a good relationship with the host. The topics of both sides always focused on cooking and daily life, and did not involve broader affairs or future prospects. The big shot liked chess, and He Yuzhu claimed that he did not know much about it, and planned to find time to learn the basics from the library.

One afternoon, around 3 o'clock, He Yuzhu left work early because the kitchen work was basically finished. Cleaning and carrying vegetables and fruits and other scattered chores were left to his subordinates, and he didn't need to do it himself. He rode his bike quickly through the cold winter streets, the cold wind like ice flakes across his face, He Yuzhu felt the bitter cold unique to winter...

After arriving at the library, he changed his mind, recovered his energy, and went inside with his backpack. He happened to meet the girl who had given him advice before - she had recommended him to go to Xia Bookstore. She was a gentle and polite library employee.

He Yuzhu greeted her with a gentle smile. The little girl had a vivid memory of him - his handsome and polite image had appeared in her dreams. She was delighted to see him but did not dare to shout. She only nodded slightly in response.

In order not to interfere with her work, He Yuzhu only asked where the books on Go were, and then went to look for them on his own. After searching along the signs on the bookshelf, he found a book that introduced the introductory game of Go, and immediately immersed himself in studying it.

As a doctor in the factory hospital, Ding Qiunan is widely recognized as a cold ** here. Many employees always find various excuses to go to the medical room to see her, but they are always rejected. Ding Qiunan is quite unhappy with these behaviors. She is constantly troubled by her frivolous words and deeds in private and directly facing various troubles.

The only thing she felt okay was her interaction with Nan Yi, even though he was considered a bad guy and was punished by the factory to clean toilets. In any case, it was almost impossible for her to identify with such a person on an emotional level.

In a recent experience, she was deeply impressed by the image of the factory chef, Team Leader He. When she first saw him during the pig slaughtering process, she felt that this man must attach great importance to personal cleanliness. As a chef, he was dressed in spotless and neat clothes. His plain hands with distinct bones holding the knife seemed as delicate as white jade, and his fingernails were also carefully trimmed. There was no rough texture that workers should have, and she admired such a man's hands in her heart.

However, she felt a little disappointed that he was holding a meat cleaver. In her mind, these hands should be more in contact with books and brushes, creating literary art rather than a butcher knife.

If He Yuzhu knew this scene, he would probably just smile knowingly. Behind the pair of delicate and crystal clear hands is actually his unique ability to maintain. If it weren't for the daily efforts that have nothing to do with kitchen work, how could such delicate hands maintain such softness.

As for his regularly trimmed fingers, he owed it to his diligent relatives Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, who would occasionally take him to sit in the winter sun to clean his fingernails. Every time, Qin Jingru would take his hand and gently rub her cheek like a docile cat, and other children, like the flowers of the locust tree, began to follow suit and ask him to touch them.

The reason why he stays clean and well-dressed is that he has two excellent women at home taking care of him, so he naturally looks clean and refreshed.

Today, Ding Qiunan also came to the library to return the medical books she had borrowed last time. Because she had recently visited an elderly home and was treating the grandson, she found that the chess game in the old man's room aroused her interest, and she also wanted to find some similar books to read.

When she was looking for relevant books in the second-floor bookcase of the library, she found his figure. At this time, the setting sun outside the window shone into the room, and a smooth silhouette was reflected. What was special was that the hands she loved most just picked up the reading material in her hands.

Unable to control herself, she fell into an obsessive gaze.
