Chapter 94 Summer
“Okay, then you wait for a moment. I promised Xu Damao that I would go to their house to help cook. I will come over right after I’m done. Miaozhi, you can play here first. Brother-in-law will cook meat for you tonight.”

Chen Miaozhi’s mind was attracted by the cute little rabbit at this moment. When she heard He Yuzhu’s words, she said without even raising her head, “Okay, brother-in-law, don’t worry about me. Go and do your thing.”

Seeing this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, then went straight to the backyard.

At this time, in the backyard, Xu Damao, his father and mother, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang and the three children were all present. The whole family was waiting for He Yuzhu to come and cook.

“Shazhu, please hurry up. It’s been a long time since you got off work. Why are you here just now? We are all waiting for you.” Jia Zhang said impatiently as she was hungry.

Seeing this, Xu’s mother looked at Jia Zhang with some dissatisfaction, then smiled at He Yuzhu and said, “Zhuzi, you have worked hard today.”

Obviously, she also knew that it was better to make friends with a chef who was good at cooking than to make enemies with him.

He Yuzhu had known about Jia Zhang’s behavior for a long time, so he was not angry. After all, he had taken a lot of things from Xu Damao this time. He nodded slightly and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll finish it as soon as possible.”

Then, He Yuzhu glanced at the ingredients prepared by Xu Damao and started to busy himself at the stove.

About an hour later, eight large plates were already placed on the Xu family’s table.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, the eyes of the Xu family members lit up.

“Zhuzi, why don’t you stay and eat something?” Xu’s mother wanted to speak, but He Yuzhu waved his hand: “No, I have to go back and cook for the couple in our family. You guys eat.”

After saying that, He Yuzhu went straight back to the central courtyard.

At this time, almost all the members of the He family had arrived. He Yuzhu didn’t say anything and continued to prepare dinner.

Because it was mentioned in advance, an old lady, an old man and a deaf lady are having dinner together today.

There was another round of busyness. When it was getting dark at night, the lights were turned on in the He family’s house and a group of people gathered around the eight-immortal table.

On the table, the aroma of the wild boar meat cooked by He Yuzhu filled the air, making everyone salivate. He Yuzhu sat down on the chair only after he finished the last dish.

Everyone looked at him, and He Yuzhu smiled and talked about his promotion at the steel mill today.

When she heard that He Yuzhu had become a seventh-level cook, the auntie was immediately delighted and said, “Doesn’t that mean that your salary will be more than 40 yuan in the future?”

“Yes.” He Yuzhu nodded.

For a moment, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai also praised Zhuzi for his ability. He said that he would have a bright future if he could become a level 7 cook at his age.

Chen Miaoyun was eating beside him. When she looked at He Yuzhu, her eyes were full of tenderness and pride, and she frequently used the chopsticks in her hand to pick up food for Zhu.

He Yuzhu caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn’t help but feel moved.

That night, Chen Miaoyun took the initiative to ask a middle-aged woman to help take care of the child for a day.

So, for the whole night, only He Yuzhu and Chen Miaoyun were in the room…

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The news of He Yuzhu’s promotion spread like wildfire throughout the entire No. 95 Siheyuan.

Everyone was talking about how Zhuzi’s cooking skills were so good that he was promoted to a seventh-level cook. Of course, everyone was envious, but not jealous. Cooks rely entirely on their skills to make a living, and who in the compound doesn’t know Zhuzi’s skills? So, more importantly, everyone congratulated Zhuzi.

Time flies, and another month has passed.

The steel mill has posted a notice regarding this year’s list of regular employees.

In the kitchen, Ma Hua was promoted directly from an apprentice to a regular employee. The news spread quickly in the kitchen. In fact, not only in the kitchen, but also in the whole factory, many people were paying attention to Ma Hua’s promotion.

After all, Ma Hua is Master He’s apprentice, and Master He’s craftsmanship is well-known throughout the steel rolling mill.

Although Ma Hua had not been at the steel mill for long, the workers were familiar with his skills because he had tested them on the stoves and knew that the taste was absolutely fine. Therefore, everyone thought that there was no problem in his transition from an apprentice to a level 10 cook.

However, envy is still inevitable.

After all, Ma Hua had only been an apprentice for less than two years, and it must be because of learning from Master He that he had his current skills.

You know, although now we have new people, new things and a new country, the inheritance of this kind of technology is still mostly traditional. Three years of apprenticeship and two years of service is too exaggerated, but without three to five years, the master will not teach you anything real.

Master He is also a very open-minded person. In the past two years, he has taught Ma Hua a lot of real things.

If it weren’t for He Yuzhu’s guidance, MCA would definitely not have been able to progress from an apprentice to a full-time member so quickly.

It was precisely because this situation had spread that when He Yuzhu came to work in the kitchen, apprentices from other large canteens would come over from time to time and try to get close to him.

At first He Yuzhu didn’t know what was going on, but after finding out, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, it was impossible for him to accept another disciple.

He taught Ma Hua wholeheartedly because he had the help of the prophet from his previous life. He was sure that Ma Hua was not an ungrateful person. Of course, he was also too lazy to take on so many apprentices and wanted to spend more time with his family and have some free time.

As for the idea of ​​not keeping anything back in the inheritance of the world, that was also a different idea from the one of He Yuzhu who traveled through time and space. He was not worried about teaching his apprentice to starve to death.

After feeling Master He’s attitude, those apprentices who had ulterior motives knew better and stopped disturbing him.

……

Days passed one by one, and soon it was summer. In Sijiu City, the weather was getting particularly hot.

In the daytime, there were fewer people wandering around the streets. At the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the enthusiasm of the workshop workers was greatly affected by the high temperature.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to use the industrial coupons awarded by Deputy Director Li to buy an electric fan from the supply and marketing cooperative. But when he took the coupons to the cooperative, he was told that the electric fan was out of stock.

The wait lasted until July. The hottest days of the summer vacation had arrived, but the supply and marketing cooperative still had no electric fans in stock.

This made He Yuzhu very hot.

There were always several yellow palm-leaf fans at home. The two girls, Yushui and Miaozhi, were no longer as lively as before. They each held a fan, sat on a small stool, and fanned themselves non-stop.

But after a while, the two little girls looked a little bitter.

“My hands feel so sore from fanning all the time, but they feel hot if I don’t fan them…” He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu and said, “Brother…”
