Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 32 Silly Zhu, you can’t build a house, this land belongs to the public.
"What? You won't let me do knife work anymore?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Yes, it's getting hotter today, and we need more cold dishes. It would be better if one person is responsible for preparing the cold dishes."

Zhang Yong explained a few words.

There was no one in the kitchen who was responsible for cold dishes before, and several second stoves took turns making them.

You don't need any advanced skills to make cold dishes, just season them.

The seven major types of work in the kitchen are: water table, washing machine, chopping board, stove, steamer, dim sum and roasting meat.

Preparing cold dishes is not even a separate job. The seasoning in the system does not refer to preparing cold dishes, but the mastery of seasonings for all dishes during the garnishing process.

Zhang Yong clearly felt the progress of He Yuzhu's knife skills, and now he has vaguely surpassed himself.

Although I am a member of the chief chef family, everyone in the kitchen relies on their ability to eat.

If He Yuzhu continued to practice for a while, his knife skills would be better than his own, and his face would not be shiny by then, so he found Zhang Zusheng. Just as summer was coming soon, He Yuzhu was arranged to be responsible for the preparation of cold dishes.

This is a position that does not require much skill. No matter how good the cold dishes are, it is just that, and you cannot learn any skills.

"Okay, I'll be in charge of the cold dishes."

He Yuzhu asked: "But I work half a day?"

"This is not easy. Let Wang Song take over after you leave."

He Yuzhu was speechless now.

Wang Song grimaced. In fact, by five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the vegetables needed for the day had already been cut.

Everyone else was busy at night, but he didn't have much to do.

Unless some vegetables are used up and some are cut up, most of the time is idle.

But if I take over the preparation of cold dishes from 5 o'clock, it will be a very busy night.

After all, Tai Feng Tower's passenger flow is still very huge at night, and business is mainly done at night.

Hong Henian next to him also clearly felt that Zhang Yong was targeting his apprentice, but he couldn't say anything more about this matter.

Zhang Yong's banner was arranged by the head chef, and he had no reason to object.

Hong Henian patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and comforted him: "You go ahead and talk about it later."

"It's okay, master. I can also learn techniques for making cold dishes."

He Yuzhu had also helped grab cold dishes before, and the system also gave him some general experience every time he grabbed a plate.

This is the same as cooking, it requires experience, and it gives more than knife skills.

After all, knife work is just a preliminary preparation process. It takes 10 minutes to gain some experience in cutting skills, and it takes an hour to gain general experience.

Making cold dishes and stir-fries is different. This is a complete dish, and the system gives a little general experience.

You should know that it only takes about 1 minute to grab a plate of cold dishes. Accumulating experience in this way is many times faster than making knife skills.

He Yuzhu was a little reluctant on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.

What He Yuzhu said made Hong Henian feel even more guilty, and he made up his mind to teach this apprentice seriously.

The cold dish area is at the other end of the kitchen, away from the stove, so that in summer, the dishes can be kept for a longer time without getting too hot.

He Yuzhu checked it out and started to prepare it. Many vegetables were soaked in advance, such as Gelili and peanuts. Some of the missing ones were also cut up.

After preparing all the required varieties, at 5 o'clock, Wang Song came over with a sad face. "It's okay that you only work half a day. It's the peak meal time tonight, so I have extra work."

"You idiot, isn't there a lot of meat here?" He Yuzhu said, pointing to the cooked meat.

Of course, the cold dishes cannot only be vegetarian dishes. The cooked beef, donkey meat, pig head meat and other stewed vegetables are all neatly stacked with the offal.

Before, they took turns and could occasionally eat some secretly. This became an exclusive position for the two of them. The other chefs were busy in the distance, so Wang Song was the only one here who could eat some secretly.

Just like Jia Dongxu can take out the bearings from the steel rolling mill, it is normal to work in the kitchen and eat some meat and vegetables.

Wang Songyile said: "Yes, you can eat whatever you want from now on."

He Yuzhu's current life is very regular. He collects some fish after get off work and is not in a hurry to sell it.

After putting He Yuyu to sleep at night, we went to the city wall and saw a lot of dismantled bricks piled there.

These old city bricks are blue-gray in color, 48cm long, 24cm wide, and 13cm thick. Each brick weighs about 20 kilograms. They were generally made in the Ming Dynasty and have a history of more than 300 years.

The names of the kiln and craftsmen are engraved on the bricks, but some of them are blurred due to the age.

When they demolished the city wall bricks, they were very violent and there were many half-broken bricks.

He Yuzhu could use his mental energy to pick out all the complete bricks in the pile. They had all been removed. Although the individual weights were heavy, they could still be easily stowed away in the space.

This continued for several days, and soon a lot of city wall bricks in good condition were collected.

In fact, many residents can pull these bricks, and the government is still encouraging them.

After all, it still costs money to transport them away.

Later, He Yuzhu understood it clearly, so he spent money to find a truck to transport the bricks several times, so that the bricks could pass through the open road.

As for the bricks in the space, He Yuzhu does not intend to release them. These will also be cultural relics in the future.

Many people were surprised when He Yuzhu asked these hard-working people to transport the bricks for the city wall.

Yi Zhonghai watched them unloading the bricks in the corner, and then asked: "Zhu Zhu, your house doesn't need major repairs. Why do you have so many bricks?"

"Wasn't my penthouse bombed? I want to build two new penthouses."

"This"

He Yuzhu's house has three rooms in the middle courtyard facing south, with a small door on the right leading to the backyard.

There is a 30-square-meter open space just between the houses on the left and Yuyu. The original penthouse was blown up before liberation.

This area became vacant. He Daqing had just built a shack with a firewood stove underneath.

If the wing rooms were built, He Yuzhu would have six houses, making him the family with the most houses in the courtyard.

It would be okay if the population was large, but now only He Yuzhu and his sister Yuyu live there, and the area for individual living is the largest.

“Why are you building so many houses?”

He Yuzhu said: "If I don't build the house, where will my kitchen be? It can freeze to death in winter, and I still need to build a fire pit."

The money has been borrowed, and He Yuzhu also has money in name, so he can renovate and build a house.

The movement here also alarmed Jia Zhang in the west room. She followed Jia Dongxu out. When she saw He Yuzhu pulling so many bricks, he rolled his eyes and shouted:

"Silly Zhu, your house can't be built here. This land belongs to the public."
