Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Not long after, the master led Professor Wu and reporter Li into the courtyard.

Sha Zhu immediately went over to greet him. Master Li asked Sha Zhu what staple food he had, and Sha Zhu replied that it was steamed rice.

Afterwards, the master brewed tea for the two of them and then spoke to Sha Zhu.

They went out to buy some steamed buns. It turned out that reporter Li wasn't used to eating rice, while Professor Wu could eat anything without any problem.

Sha Zhu went into the kitchen and started cooking. Reporter Li followed Sha Zhu into the kitchen.

You should observe the entire cooking process in detail.

It helps you systematically understand some of the changes during the cooking process when you are editing.

While Sha Zhu was cooking, he was also busy with his own things on the stove.

While verbally describing the cooking process, he explained in detail why each step was done the way it should.

While watching Sha Zhu cook, reporter Li listened to Sha Zhu's explanation.

Holding a pen in his hand, he wrote down what he saw and what Sha Zhu said about the cooking process.

A delicious aroma soon filled the kitchen and spread into the yard.

The whole courtyard was filled with fragrance, and rainwater was even seeping out of the house.

Professor Wu looked at the raindrops and said, "Little raindrops, what's that scent?"

Rainwater sniffed hard a few times and said,

"It was my brother who stir-fried shredded potatoes. I've eaten it several times, and it's even more delicious than the braised pork at restaurants."

Professor Wu paused for a moment, then looked at Xiaoyushui and said,

"It tastes better than what you get at restaurants, but it can't compare to your brother's braised pork."

"It definitely can't compare to my brother's. After eating my brother's braised pork, I never want to eat at a restaurant again."

"Rain," he said with certainty. Without waiting for Professor Wu's reply, he ran to the kitchen doorway and peered inside.

Sha Zhu was cooking in the kitchen, and Reporter Li brought out the finished dishes.

Professor Wu took out his camera to take pictures, and then took out colored pencils from his backpack.

They each recorded color combinations in their own little sketchbooks, with each person having their own task.

Before long, Sha Zhu had finished cooking all the dishes and brought them to the table.

Reporter Li demanded that Sha Zhu quickly explain the details of the cooking process and methods.

I was afraid that if I ate first and then talked about it, there might be things I didn't understand.

Master Li returned from outside, carrying a bottle of wine and several steaming hot steamed buns.

By this time, Professor Wu had finished taking brief notes, and Reporter Li had finished taking photos.

Sha Zhu said to reporter Li, "Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste as good."

Brother Li, you watched the whole cooking process, so after we finish eating...

Let me now list the ingredients, seasonings, and side dishes for these dishes.

I'll explain the entire cooking process to you in detail, and you can write it all down in a notebook. If you don't understand something, you can ask me later.

At this moment, Lele also ran over from home. When Shazhu saw this, he looked behind him and saw that there were no adults following him.

He hurriedly asked Lele, "Lele, why did you come here by yourself?"

Lele ran to Yushui's side and said, "Yushui told me that you have to cook delicious food every day, and after we finish eating, we can practice martial arts together every day."

Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Okay, then you can eat here every day from now on, and you're not allowed to leave after you finish eating!"

Master Li went to the kitchen to prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and at his command, everyone happily began to eat dinner.

Everyone tried the shredded potatoes and stir-fried cabbage, but then they all reached for the meat dishes. No matter how fragrant the vegetables were, they couldn't taste as good as the meat.

As Professor Wu ate, he said, "Yesterday's feast was already a feast for the eyes, and I lingered there, reluctant to leave."

I could barely sleep when I got back, I was so looking forward to today's delicious food. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student.

These simple dishes are incredibly delicious.

Honestly, my wife often makes these dishes at home.

Compared to what Master He makes, there's no comparison. Master He...

"If this cookbook ever gets printed, you must give me a copy first."

Sha Zhu readily agreed upon hearing this.

Reporter Li excitedly said, "I feel that watching Chef He cook is also a kind of enjoyment."

Being able to watch Chef He cook, along with his explanations,

I'll tidy it up again when I get back, and I think my cooking skills will improve significantly.

I've decided, I'm not going to eat at our editorial office cafeteria anymore.

I want to buy the groceries myself, cook them, and bring them to work to eat.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll quit being a journalist...

After these two months of training, I'd have no problem applying for a head chef position at a restaurant.

Master Li chuckled and said, "Zhu Zi, there are some of Master Li's favorite dishes."

I'll learn from this too, so I don't wait until my house is finished building.

After you left, Master won't be able to eat your cooking, and he won't have the energy to practice his skills anymore.

Everyone finished the meal chatting and laughing.

After the meal, Mr. Li took the two children to digest, while Professor Wu took the lunchbox prepared by Sha Zhu and went home to draw.

Then, the coloring is modified based on the comparison with the photos taken.

After Professor Wu left, Sha Zhu dictated the story, and Reporter Li took notes, which was then compiled into an article. After some revisions, it was made more suitable for publication and printing.

Reporter Li smiled and told Sha Zhu that he had specially taken up a section in the newspaper to publish the recipes for the dishes.

If I only post the recipe for one dish at a time, I won't have to go out on the street looking for recipes for a long time.

For the next two months, the group enjoyed a variety of delicious foods and praised Sha Zhu's superb cooking skills.

Even though it's just a little rain, he often runs to the kitchen, and through this exposure, he can also offer some critiques of food.

Returning to the original timeline, it was noon the day after Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu to oversee the construction of the house.

After Sha Zhu finished cooking for the workers, he was about to take the food to the small warehouse when...

A temporary worker ran over and told Sha Zhu that someone named Jia Dongxu was looking for him in the lobby.

Speaking of Jia Dongxu, according to Sha Zhu's memories,

Jia Dongxu is a dull and honest kid.

She occasionally had her own ideas, but unfortunately, she had that old witch Jia Zhangshi as her mother.

Then there was Yi Zhonghai, his mentor, drawing circles in his mind, all about how to respect teachers and be filial to one's mother.

In this era, if a child is not filial to their parents, others will point fingers and gossip.

Those with thick skin are better off; at most, they'll get a few insults. Those with thin skin...

If you can't stand other people's pointing fingers, you might as well hide away and cry secretly, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

In severe cases, many people commit suicide.

Sha Zhu left the kitchen and arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria hall, where he saw Jia Dongxu waiting there.

When Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu come out, he quickly went up to him and said...

"Zhu Zi, I haven't seen you for several days. I heard you went to stay with your master. How are you doing there?"

Sha Zhu thought to himself, "This is a sacrifice, it's a bit of a pity."

But it has nothing to do with me; with Old Witch Jia and Yi Daode around, it's none of my business.

Your fate has already been decided, and there's no way to escape that cycle.

Sha Zhu was momentarily dazed, then looked at Jia Dongxu in front of him and said, "I'm alright, what can I do for you?"

Jia Dongxu said somewhat embarrassedly,

"My master came looking for you yesterday, but forgot to tell you. He asked me to let you know."

I'm getting married this weekend and would like to ask you to help with the banquet.

I specifically asked which dishes you made when I got my food these past few days.

I think it tastes even better than what the other master chefs make.
