Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

The chef frowned and looked dissatisfied. Can't this guy understand what I mean? Why did he answer like this?

"What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu said: "I am today's chef, I am here to cook."

The chef was really stunned. "You? Chef?"

He Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, doesn't it look like it?"

The chef was silent and looked at He Yuzhu. It was indeed not like that.

He never expected that the chef the leader was talking about was so young. He couldn't accept that such a young person replaced his position today.

People of this age are just apprentices at best, what skills can they have?

He didn't understand why the leader would do this.

After a few seconds, he said, "Are you really a chef?"

He Yuzhu said: "It's genuine."

The chef asked, "So what cuisine do you specialize in? Where do you work now?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I work in Cuihua Building."

“As for the cuisine…”

“I can only say that they all know a little bit.”

When the chef heard Cuihualou, he thought of someone, whom he had also heard of.

It is said that there is a new chef in Cuihualou, who is very young and knows how to cook all kinds of cuisines.

He looked at He Yuzhu again. Could this man be the head chef?

The age matches, the Cuihualou matches, and the cuisine matches.

He felt that the possibility was very high.

Only this can explain why the leader would choose such a young chef.

"What's your name?"

"He Yuzhu."

This time, the man really confirmed it. He heard that the head chef of Cuihualou was named He.

The dissatisfaction in my heart disappeared a lot, and curiosity arose at the same time.

He really wanted to know how good this person's cooking skills were.

Only then could he become the head chef of Cuihualou at such a young age.

"Master He, I have long admired you."

"you are welcome."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and He Yuzhu began to prepare dinner.

Director Li told him that the leader likes spicy food and Sichuan cuisine.

At the same time, the leader has a guest today, who is from the south and likes Cantonese food.

He Yuzhu plans to cook these two cuisines.

"Master He, do you need my help?"

"Master Zhao, that's not necessary." He Yuzhu said.

He learned from the conversation just now that this man was called Zhao Ming and was good at Sichuan cuisine and Shandong cuisine.

Since he can be a chef in the leader's house, his cooking skills must be quite good.

But He Yuzhu didn't intend to ask him for help and prepared every dish himself.

Zhao Ming didn't say much, just took the teacup and sat on a stool in the kitchen, "Then I'll watch Master He's performance."

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu has already started cooking.

Inside the building, Huang Jiuwen was sitting on the sofa. On one side was a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and with short, somewhat graying hair.

Behind Huang Jiuwen was Director Li.

He said carefully: "Captain Huang, I have brought Master He here, I will go back first."

Huang Jiuwen said gently: "Xiao Li, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay and eat together."

Director Li said, "No, Chief Huang, I won't disturb you two from reminiscing about the past."

"Besides, I have some things to deal with over there."

Huang Jiuwen didn't force him, "Okay, Xiao Li, since you have something to do, I won't force you to stay, you can go back first."

Director Li nodded to Huang Jiuwen, then nodded to the man on the sofa, and left the building.

After he left, Huang Jiuwen smiled and said to the man on the sofa: "Old Hou, you came at the right time today. Xiao Li invited the chef of Cuihualou to come to our house. Now you are in for a treat."

Hou Zhongliang said, "Old Huang, you know me well. I am not as particular about food as you are, and I am not used to the dishes here."

Huang Jiuwen said: "This time, you will definitely be able to eat it."

"I heard that the chef of Cuihualou is a very good cook. Everyone who has eaten his dishes praises them."

"Besides, he knows more than one cuisine. He can also cook the Cantonese dishes you often eat. I'm sure you will be satisfied this time."

Hou Zhongliang said: "Hearing what you said, I am somewhat interested. Then I will wait to taste the cooking skills of this chef."

"Okay, I'll wait and see your praise for it."

Huang Jiuwen asked again: "Lao Hou, what does the doctor say about your illness? Is there any possibility of recovery?"

Hou Zhongliang subconsciously touched his shoulder, then looked at his legs, his eyes full of helplessness, "Alas..."

"The doctor said that at best it can only provide relief, but it is impossible to cure it."

All of his injuries were sustained on the battlefield. A bullet pierced his shoulder, damaging the nerves. This made his entire left arm less flexible, and it was very painful when it was cloudy or rainy.

His right leg was hit by a bomb. The environment at the time did not allow it, so he just gave it a simple treatment. After his condition stabilized, he went for treatment. Although the shrapnel was removed, the nerves and muscles were affected, leaving him with incurable damage, and his condition is still getting worse.

In the past, I just had difficulty walking, but now my leg hurts from time to time. I basically can’t exert any strength and can only walk with the help of crutches.

The right leg is smaller than the left leg, which is affected by this.

Huang Jiuwen was very concerned after hearing this, "Is there no other solution?"

"How about I take you to another hospital?"

Hou Zhongliang shook his head. "No, Old Yang has already taken me to visit all the hospitals in the city."

"I've thought it through. Since it can't be cured, it would be fine if it can provide some relief."

"It is a great blessing to be alive today and to see the founding of our motherland. I can't ask for too much."

Huang Jiuwen wanted to persuade him, but Hou Zhongliang waved his hand, signaling him not to say more.

Huang Jiuwen sighed, looked at Hou Zhongliang's shoulders and legs, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Hou Zhongliang changed the subject and said, "Old Huang, I heard that the savior you have been looking for for so many years has been found."

Huang Jiuwen felt better after hearing this. This was the happiest thing that had happened to him in recent times.

"Yes, Zhenjiang came over yesterday and told me about this matter. After I heard it, I was a little confused."

"I thought Zhenjiang had made a mistake."

“But when I went with him and saw it in person, I realized it was Brother Ding. I was really excited and happy.”
