Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Time passed day by day, and it was Friday morning in a blink of an eye. He Yuzhu had been going to the police station very frequently these days. Today was no exception. After He Yushui went to school, He Yuzhu washed the dishes, cleaned himself up, put the prepared breakfast into the lunch box, and then pushed his bicycle out.

The people in the courtyard saw He Yuzhu dressed up like a decent person, and they all showed strange expressions on their faces. Liu Haizhong just came out from the backyard at this time, saw He Yuzhu, and asked: "He Yuzhu, you are dressed like this today, is there any happy event?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Second Uncle, didn't you hear about this at the steel mill? Today, all the kitchen helpers in the three canteens of our factory will take a unified exam. If they pass the exam, I will teach them cooking skills."

The muscles on his face were trembling, and he showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He said, "He Yuzhu, congratulations! You're going to accept a disciple."

He Yuzhu said: "Second Uncle, what are you talking about?! What era is it now? You still take in apprentices?! Now it should be called taking students. What about us? Don't learn from Yi Zhonghai's way of learning a skill for three years and working for two years. Since you want to teach students, teach them well. Make corresponding learning plans according to their specialties. You can't let them run before they have learned to walk?! Second Uncle, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going first!" After that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out of the central courtyard.

Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Liu Haizhong pondered what He Yuzhu had just said and felt that there was some truth in it. As for whether he should learn from He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong planned to see He Yuzhu's teaching results first.

Yan Bugui and his wife saw He Yuzhu passing by the door, and they were about to stop He Yuzhu and ask him a few questions. However, they were still a step too slow. When Yan Bugui chased him out of the house, He Yuzhu had already ridden away on his bicycle. Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Yan Bugui sighed and prepared to go home. When he saw Liu Haizhong coming out of the yard, he asked, "Old Liu, did you notice that He Yuzhu is different today?!"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Today is the big day when He Yuzhu is going to accept a disciple. How can he not dress up?!" After saying that, Liu Haizhong left Yan Bugui who was standing there in a daze and went to work.

Yan Bugui muttered, "He Yuzhu accepted a disciple today?!" Suddenly Yan Bugui came to his senses and ran home while shouting, "Wife! Wife!"

The third aunt asked, "What's wrong with Old Yan?!"

Yan Bugui closed the door and said, "Damn it! This Shazhu is really amazing. He actually started to accept disciples without making any noise."

The third aunt immediately understood what her husband meant and complained, "This idiot Zhu is really something. He started to accept apprentices without even notifying the courtyard. It's like he's afraid that we will look for him."

Yan Bugui said, "I'll talk to Sha Zhu later and ask him to take in our Jie Cheng. That way, at least our Jie Cheng can get a temporary job at the steel mill."

He Yuzhu didn't know that Yan Bugui had already plotted against him by accepting him as a disciple. At this time, He Yuzhu had already arrived at the door of the Public Security Bureau. He Yuzhu got off his bicycle, walked in front of Huang Ying, and asked with a smile: "Have you been waiting for a long time?!" After that, He Yuzhu handed the network cable bag to Huang Ying.

Huang Ying did not reach out to take the thing in He Yuzhu's hand, but first looked He Yuzhu up and down, and asked with a smile: "Where are you going to be a son-in-law today, dressed up in all this green and beautiful clothes?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "It's been three days already?! Let me hear your response."

"Silly!" Huang Ying rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu, her cheeks already reddening. He Yuzhu instantly understood what Huang Ying meant and asked, "You agreed?!"

Huang Ying grabbed the network cable bag from He Yuzhu and said, "I agree!" Then she ran into the police station. He Yuzhu stood at the door for a while, then smiled foolishly, and suddenly shouted, "I have a partner!" Then He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and left the police station excitedly.

Zhang Hu and He Ping walked out of the guard room. Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Zhang Hu asked, "Is this kid crazy?!"

He Ping replied: "This reaction is normal. When your wife agreed to marry you, your reaction was not much better than his. Now I think this guy is quite cute."

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, looked at He Ping with a puzzled look, and said, "This boy is cute?!"

He Ping smiled and said nothing more, then turned and walked into the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

He Yuzhu arrived at the steel mill, parked his car, and when he walked to the door of the kitchen, a burst of noise came into He Yuzhu's ears. He Yuzhu opened the door, walked into the kitchen, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?! It's so lively?!"

Sister Huang replied: "What else can we talk about? Let's talk about today's assessment."

He Yuzhu said, "Sister Huang, thank you for your hard work. Before the test begins, wash the potatoes and radishes. Today, they will be tested on cutting the vegetables!" After saying that, He Yuzhu saw that everyone present had a puzzled expression. He Yuzhu was in a good mood today, so he explained their doubts: "Don't underestimate the simplicity of cutting vegetables. Cutting vegetables is the first step to making a dish. The length, thickness, and thickness of the vegetables all determine the dish. If the lengths are different, the short ones will cook faster and the long ones will cook slower. The same is true for the others. Only when the sizes are similar can the taste be consistent. As long as the cutting is passed, I will teach you the side dishes and the cooking time. The rest depends on your daily accumulation. As the saying goes, the master leads the way, but the practice is up to the individual. Anyway, as long as they pass the test today, I will definitely teach them what I should teach. As for how much they can learn, that is their ability."

Sister Xie Meili beside her smiled and asked, "Zhu Zi, aren't you afraid that teaching your apprentice will starve you to death?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "First they have to learn it. If they can't learn it, how can I starve to death?! But don't worry, I won't learn from others and teach half and keep the other half. Either don't teach, or teach everything. Of course! I won't teach them over and over again like their parents. I only teach them once, at most twice. If they can't remember it, that's your problem. But you can find other people to communicate privately."

"Zhu Zi!" Before He Yuzhu finished speaking, Gao Yao's voice rang out. He Yuzhu turned around and looked at the canteen director who came in from outside and asked, "Director, what's the matter?!"

Gao Yao asked: "What are they testing today?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Chopping?! I've already told Sister Huang to wash the potatoes and radishes for lunch before the test. They won't be wasted after the test." He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "It's still more than half an hour before eight o'clock. I'm afraid it's too late."

Gao Yao said, "Don't worry! We will definitely make it in time. I will call the kitchen helpers from the other two canteens to wash out the amount required for today's assessment."

He Yuzhu asked: "Director, how many people are taking the test today?!"

Gao Yao glanced at the list in his hand and replied, "Thirty in total."

He Yuzhu said: "Thirty is not too many."

Gao Yao then asked: "Zhu Zi, tell me the truth, how long will it take for these people to be trained?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "It's hard to say. It depends on their ability to learn. If they are capable, they will learn quickly. If they are incompetent, they will learn slowly. But after two or three years of learning, they should be able to handle ordinary banquets. At most, you will have to work harder and take on more external receptions. Or take on some wedding banquets for our factory employees. We have to give them some opportunities to practice!"
