Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

He looked around curiously and found that many shop signs on both sides of the street were written in Chinese.

Those familiar words made him feel warm inside.

As he walked, He Yuzhu came to a Sichuan restaurant called "Shuxiangge".

Looking at the bright red lanterns and antique wooden doors and windows at the door, he couldn't help but step in.

The store is filled with spicy aroma, making people salivate.

A plump older sister who spoke authentic Sichuan dialect came up to greet us warmly.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?

This is a real Sichuan restaurant, many dishes are very spicy!"

She looked He Yuzhu up and down, and seeing that he had a typical Chinese appearance, she kindly reminded him.

"Well, let's try two special dishes. It's also a good opportunity to see how good your chef's cooking skills are!" He Yuzhu said as he tapped the table lightly with his hand.

"Okay! Shredded pork with fish flavor and boiled fish, both medium spicy, and a serving of rice. Remember to ask for a big bowl!" The eldest sister shouted excitedly, as if she was afraid that the kitchen staff couldn't hear her.

Not long after, a response came from the kitchen: "Fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled fish, medium spicy, and a serving of rice! Got it!" This crisp and pleasant voice actually came from a girl, which really surprised He Yuzhu.

"Sister, could it be that the chef in your restaurant is actually a girl?" He Yuzhu asked with a look of suspicion on his face.

When the eldest sister heard this, she immediately replied with a smile on her face.

"That's right! She's the best cook in our restaurant!

Besides, she is my eldest brother's daughter. If you don't believe me, try it later, and I guarantee you will be convinced and know that I didn't lie to you! "

He Yuzhu nodded doubtfully, then slowly sat down and waited quietly for the delicious food to be served.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel curious and expectant about this legendary female chef.

He was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back. The feeling of hunger was like a tide, hitting his stomach wall wave after wave, making him anxious.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of some tempting cold dishes on the table, so he quickly asked his elder sister to bring him one.

As soon as the cold dish was placed in front of him, he could no longer hold back and picked up a bite impatiently and put it into his mouth.

However, the store was doing brisk business, with crowds of people filling up the store. Soon all the seats were occupied.

While he was enjoying the cold dishes, he looked around at the diners curiously.

They had similar skin color, but which ones were native locals and which ones were foreigners who came here from afar? This question kept circling in his mind, but he never had an answer.

Not long after, his two main dishes - boiled fish and Kung Pao chicken - were finally ready.

The waiter brought them to the table swiftly, then quickly brought a bowl of fragrant rice and considerately handed the chopsticks to him.

"Sir, please try it. If you don't like it, we won't charge you a penny for this meal!"

The eldest sister said with a smile.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but burst into laughter and responded.

"That won't do. How can I eat and dine when I'm away from home?"

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks without hesitation, ready to taste the delicious food in front of him.

When the first bite of food was put into the mouth, it was like a spicy bomb suddenly exploded on the tip of the tongue.

The extremely rich spicy taste quickly swept across the entire mouth like a surging wave.

He Yuzhu felt as if his tongue was being licked by a flame, and the hot and scalding feeling made him open his eyes wide.

He thought to himself.

“Oh my god, these peppers must have been shipped directly from their place of origin in Sichuan!

Otherwise, how could it be so authentic and original? "

In amazement, he couldn't wait to pick up another piece of boiled pork slices with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The tender and smooth meat slices mixed with the spicy and fragrant soup, chewed gently between the teeth, various wonderful flavors intertwined and blended, constantly stimulating the taste buds. Then, he tasted another bite of the fish-flavored pork shreds. The sweet and sour taste just neutralized the previous spiciness, giving people a different kind of enjoyment.

In this way, He Yuzhu tasted these delicious dishes one bite after another, and each bite brought him a different level of taste impact.

Gradually, he was completely immersed in the world of food and forgot everything around him.

Not until there was almost nothing left on the plate did he slowly raise his head with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.

At this moment, his gaze involuntarily turned towards the kitchen, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful look, as if he was still savoring the amazing taste just now.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, He Yuzhu finally put down the chopsticks in his hand with satisfaction.

He picked up the tissue beside him and gently wiped the oil stains left at the corners of his mouth, then nodded slightly, indicating that he was very satisfied with the meal.

Seeing this, the eldest sister who had been watching him from the side immediately broke into a bright smile, walked up quickly and asked in a friendly manner.

"How is it, sir? Is our Sichuan cuisine authentic?"

He Yuzhu heard her say this and spoke very politely.

"The ingredients are excellent, authentic Sichuan food, and the cooking skills are pretty good. The quality of these two dishes is average, and it's OK for a five-star chef, but it's not good enough for a master chef."

He Yuzhu's comment was like a bombshell dropped into the crowd, leaving the guests dumbfounded and stunned, and even the older sister was not spared.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into deathly silence, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd being clearly audible.

Finally, a middle-aged man with a slightly weathered face broke the silence. He frowned and spoke with a look of suspicion.

"Sir, please speak according to your conscience!

This is one of the most authentic Sichuan restaurants in our area. Are you still not satisfied with this?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his words.

Facing the middle-aged man's questioning, He Yuzhu seemed exceptionally calm and composed.

He just smiled and waved his hand to explain.

"Oh, you misunderstood!

I'm not dissatisfied.

On the contrary, I am just giving an objective and fair evaluation of the cooking skills of the chef of this restaurant.

You know, we came all the way here, and to be able to taste this level of Sichuan cuisine is already pretty good, so I’m naturally very satisfied.”

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the eldest sister's originally tense expression relaxed a little.

But at this moment, a young woman suddenly walked out of the kitchen.

It turned out that she had heard everything He Yuzhu said just now. At this moment, her face was flushed and she was extremely excited.

She rushed to He Yuzhu in two steps, put her hands on her hips, and asked angrily.

"Humph! Since you sound so nice, then why don't you tell me how to achieve the best result!"

He Yuzhu then saw clearly that this was actually a 23-year-old woman. She looked very young, but still retained the energy of a Sichuan girl.

“Well, girl, don’t get so excited, it’s just a meal, your cooking skills are naturally good here.

I mean, if it’s in a big restaurant in China, it’s a little bit worse.”
