Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 156: Struggle Together in the Future

The old man touched his back, stretched his body a bit, and said happily, "Yuzhu, thank you for your help. I feel much better now, and I have more energy in my whole body."

"Haha, don't worry, let me go buy some food and we'll celebrate today."

He Yuzhu said.

Hearing this, the old man waved his hand and refused: "Yuzhu, please don't bother me. I dare not let you spend money."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Master, are you saying that you don't want me to do good deeds?"

The old man was stunned for a moment. It turned out that there were people who were so proactive in doing good deeds these days.

"Don't worry, uncle. I won't spend your money. My wife specifically asked me to buy you something delicious."

He Yuzhu added.

The old man then realized that the young man was already married.

"Yuzhu, your wife must be a good person too."

The old man said with emotion that he had met many people in his eighty years of life, but there were very few truly kind people.

"Well, my wife is very beautiful, virtuous and capable."

He Yuzhu talked about Xu Huizhen with a happy face.

The old man couldn't help feeling envious when he saw the happiness on He Yuzhu's face when he mentioned his wife.

For him, finding such a virtuous daughter-in-law is probably a dream that will never come true in his lifetime.

However, he quickly withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

"Yuzhu, I can't take advantage of you for nothing. There is a book in the cabinet behind you. Take it."

Following the old man's instructions, He Yuzhu opened the cabinet behind him.

There was indeed an ancient book under some old clothes.

He Yuzhu glanced at the cover and saw the words "Ancient Winemaking Techniques".

"Yuzhu, this is the book my master left me. It contains many good methods. Although they are ancient recipes, they are indeed useful."

"If you are willing to learn, take it back and have a look."

said the old man.

The old man seemed to notice He Yuzhu's doubts and took the initiative to explain it to him.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this old man would actually take the initiative to give him something.

After a moment of silence, He Yuzhu took the book and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir. I won't be polite anymore."

As he said this, he put the book on the table and went out to buy ingredients.

Soon, he came back with a pile of vegetables and meat.

This trip cost more than 30 yuan, and I also used a few meat coupons.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is now a small wealthy man and lives a free and easy life.

"Master, you can eat as much as you want today. It's enough!"

He Yuzhu brought two plates of hot beef and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I won't be polite then."

The old man responded readily.

The two then sat down in the house and started chatting.

"By the way, sir, what does your master do? Can he make wine?"

He Yuzhu felt puzzled by this and always felt that something was wrong.

According to common sense, there has never been any ancient tradition of winemaking before.

"Actually, my master... ahem, he's the palace brewer!"

He Yuzhu was surprised: "The palace winemaker?"

He had heard that some of his predecessors were quite accomplished in winemaking, but he didn't expect that he would meet a master when doing good deeds today.

"That's right, my master's craftsmanship is unparalleled!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's admiring expression, the old man seemed very proud.

"Yuzhu, since you can prepare medicinal wine, the techniques recorded in this book must be useful to you!"

The old man spoke as he savored the food, while He Yuzhu listened attentively.

Suddenly, the old man put down his chopsticks and looked at He Yuzhu seriously: "If you are willing to take me as your master, we can become master and apprentice."

After that, he added: "Of course, this must be kept confidential."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He had just asked casually, but he didn't expect the old man to take it seriously.

He Yuzhu touched his nose, smiled and said nothing, nor did he express his opinion immediately.

The old man saw his concerns and continued, "Don't be in a hurry to reject me."

"Think about it, I'm already in my seventies or eighties, and I'm going to die one day."

"When I am gone, this book will surely fall into the hands of others, and it may be misused or even destroyed."

"I know you have money, but no matter how rich you are, you will run out of money one day."

"This winemaking technique can make you a lot of money, much more than you can earn by working hard on your own."

“Once word of these technologies spreads, they will inevitably cause a sensation.”

"When the time comes, if you want to make money, you don't need to do it yourself. You can make a lot of money by directly selling these technologies."

The old man didn't know that He Yuzhu's family ran a pub, so he spoke out everything he was thinking in one breath.

There is indeed some truth in what he said.

If He Yuzhu spread this wine-making technology, he would really make a lot of money.

After all, there are many people in the world who love drinking.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and felt that becoming a disciple would not have much impact on him.

Just send some food to the old man occasionally and prepare a coffin for him in the future.

However, he still only believed three points of the old man's words.

If he was so outstanding, how could he have fallen to the situation he is in today?

More importantly, what exactly is that unique winemaking secret? He Yuzhu was full of curiosity.

"I need some time to think about it. I'll give you an answer once I've thought it through."

He Yuzhu thought for a long time and finally decided to delay it for the time being, unwilling to make a hasty decision.

"Okay okay."

The old man nodded hastily in agreement, fearing that He Yuzhu would change his mind.

He Yuzhu chatted with the old man for a while and then said goodbye and left.

The old man watched He Yuzhu go away and it took a long time before he looked away.

Back at the tavern,

He Yuzhu told Xu Huizhen about this.

"Are you going to agree to him?"

Xu Huizhen put down the wine jug in her hand and asked seriously.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly.

"I'm still thinking about it. There's no rush."

He did not tell Xu Huizhen about his doubts, always thinking it was better to mind one's own business.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huizhen's next words surprised He Yuzhu.

"I've heard of the palace brewing technique. My grandfather told me about it several times when I was a child."

"It is said that this wine tastes sweet and mellow, and is very expensive. It can be regarded as a top-quality wine."

"Unfortunately, some of these craftsmen are old and weak, and some are no longer alive, so their skills have been lost."

"My grandfather also said that the most outstanding one among them was named Wu. Could he be the master of that old man?"

Xu Huizhen spoke slowly and calmly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

He Yuzhu frowned and fell into deep thought.

He understood the value of the imperial court's winemaking skills and believed that if he could master them, he would become a wealthy businessman.

Not to mention, the effects of this wine are very significant and make you feel refreshed after drinking it.

In the future, it can gradually develop into a health wine and will inevitably be widely welcomed.

He Yuzhu raised his head and seemed to see countless gold ingots flying towards him.

The next day, He Yuzhu came to the old man's yard again.

As soon as he entered the house, he knelt down in front of the old man.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

Now that the decision has been made, He Yuzhu is determined to show his sincerity.

The kneeling frightened the old man so much that he hurried to help him.

"Yuzhu, get up quickly."

Yesterday He Yuzhu said he would think carefully about it and he had already made preparations for the worst.

Although I feel sorry, I also understand.

After all, he was a poor old man, who would believe that he could still make wine? Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu came to visit again this morning.

Seeing him kneeling on the ground, the old man couldn't help but ask: "Have you really thought it through?"

"Yes!"

He Yuzhu nodded heavily.

"Master, I have thought it through, please teach me!"

When the old man heard He Yuzhu's response, his eyes turned slightly red.

He hurriedly helped He Yuzhu up.

"Yuzhu, from now on, you must strictly abide by the rules and not act recklessly..."

The old man knows very well that brewing wine is not an easy task, and an important reason why the skill has been lost is that people nowadays cannot bear the hardship.

"Master, don't worry. Once a teacher, always a father. I will go buy you some meat right now."

He Yuzhu knew very well what the old man needed right now - his skinny body with exposed bones and muscles was in urgent need of conditioning.

Only when the master's health improves can we brew more delicious wine.

Seeing He Yuzhu's firm attitude, the old man had no choice but to follow him.

In fact, he was quite happy.

After all, how many people are eager for it, but He Yuzhu took the initiative to volunteer to follow.

What is even more gratifying is that the old man has not accepted any apprentices in recent decades, and now, even if it is an apprentice with mediocre qualifications, he is already satisfied.

In addition, since He Yuzhu had saved him before, he had to pass on his skills in the future.

When He Yuzhu came back from buying meat, he found the old man lighting a fire in the yard.

"Hey! Master, are you feeling better?"

Although he was confident in the effectiveness of the medicinal wine he made, He Yuzhu was still surprised by its quick effect.

"Yeah! Much better, Yuzhu, your medicine is really effective!"

The old man smiled.

"Master, you should sit down and rest first. I will cook later."

"Okay, okay..."

The old man seemed very excited.

He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen and cut a few cucumbers and eggplants into shreds.

A moment later, three side dishes were served.

Then, he put all the meat slices into the pan and fried them, and deliberately made the soup thick.

Because He Yuzhu discovered that Master needed more nutrition.

"Wow! Yuzhu, is this the soup you made? It smells so good!"

The old man was moved by the aroma and exclaimed.

"Hey, Master, don't you know that I'm also a chef?"

He Yuzhu smiled innocently.

The master and the disciple enjoyed the soup while chatting.

"Master, I see that your spirit is getting better and better. You will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"

He Yuzhu said while eating.

"Haha, I hope it's as you said!"

"Yuzhu, from now on we will work together to make the world remember our names!"

"Well, okay, okay..."

He Yuzhu responded repeatedly.

At this moment, his mind was filled with passion for learning, and nothing else mattered.

After the meal, the old man took out a set of tools from under the bed.

He Yuzhu had seen similar things in Xu Huizhen's tavern and knew they were brewing tools, but the old man's set was obviously different.

"Rain Pillar, do you know what this is?"
