Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 60 Senior Sister, Junior Sister

The master's wife smiled and said: "Come in and sit in the room. I have heard from your master a long time ago that I have a new apprentice. From the looks of it, he is a loyal and honest child."

Then he said: "You kid, how can you get anything from Master's house? If you bring anything here in the future, I won't let you in."

Then he greeted He Yuyu with a smile and said that he would take him to get some candies.

"It should be." He Yuzhu put down the things.

Hong Henian also parked his bicycle, entered the house together, and introduced his two daughters to He Yuzhu.

The eldest brother, Hong Jinyan, is older than He Yuzhu. She looks about seventeen or eighteen years old and is He Yuzhu's senior sister.

The youngest is named Hong Jinling. She is older than He Yuyu. She has two braids and looks very cute.

Soon I got to know Yu Yu and took her to play together.

Hong Henian comforted He Yuzhu, and then said: "You will work first. Later, I will ask my senior brother to ask if there are any people in Fengzeyuan, or why don't you go there and be an apprentice?"

"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at making cold dishes here. We'll wait until autumn. I still have to learn the skills from my master."

Although things passed this year, I was not punished.

Although he had plans to change jobs, He Yuzhu did not intend to leave in despair.

Otherwise, it will appear that he is a loser, and Zhang Yong wants to squeeze him away. How can he follow his wishes like this?

He always had to stay in the kitchen to see Zhang Yong's misfortune with his own eyes, so that he could leave with peace of mind.

Although I have upgraded Sichuan cuisine to level 5, many dishes have special preparation methods, and I have not yet started to learn them.

I need to study with Hong Henian for a while, otherwise it won't be cost-effective to become an apprentice directly in the past.

It's better to stay in Tai Feng Building for the time being, accumulate more experience, and then gradually demonstrate your skills. When you arrive at Fengze Garden, you can directly work as a chef instead of an apprentice.

"Okay, let's wait until autumn. I'll teach you more skills."

It's really not easy to get into Fengze Garden now. The chefs and shareholders are having conflicts over wages and are currently in a stalemate.

Now that I'm at Master's house, I can't just sit by myself and let Master cook for me. I get up and follow him to the kitchen to help him.

While at the restaurant, although Hong Henian demonstrated in person, He Yuzhu was only asked to do the job of doing laundry and he was not allowed to cook the dishes himself.

When he arrived at his home, Hong Henian said: "Zhuzi, you have a basic knowledge before. Make two simple dishes and let me have a taste of your craftsmanship."

"Okay." He Yuzhu was not afraid. He had already ordered Sichuan cuisine to level 5. It was time to show his hand and let the master comment on his skills and foundation.

Anyway, if He Daqing runs away, no matter how well he does, it can be blamed on him, saying that He Daqing taught well before.

He Yuzhu started to prepare immediately. He didn't cook any complicated dishes. He just washed one potato and two tomatoes.

I plan to cook two of the most common dishes in the family, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

The simpler the dish, the better you can see the level of a chef.

These two dishes are not difficult, and ordinary housewives can make them, but it is not easy to cook them well.

First wash the potatoes, peel them, and then cut them into shreds.

Hong Henian said: "With your current sword skills, you have already surpassed Zhang Yong. You can go to any restaurant competently."

Cut the potatoes into shreds and cut some peppers, onions, ginger and garlic.

Then he cut the tomatoes into hob pieces, Hong Henian stepped aside, and He Yuzhu fried the eggs first.

Put a large spoonful of oil into the pot and it will start to smoke instantly.

Then put the onion, ginger, garlic and chili segments into the pot and saute until fragrant.After the aroma comes, take the potato shreds out of the water and stir-fry them for a few times.

Then add balsamic vinegar, salt and other condiments.

There is certainly no shortage of spices in a chef’s home.

After adding the seasonings, stir-fry over high heat.

In two to three minutes, the spicy and sour potato shreds are ready.

Pour into prepared plate.

Hong Henian nodded secretly. Sure enough, it was different even if he had the foundation. Just smelling the aroma, this dish was already very good.

Moreover, He Yuzhu's movements were proficient and his operations were very skillful and orderly. His face was even calmer, without the panic look of a novice.

Every movement is unhurried, has a special rhythm, and looks very natural.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He Daqing had really given him a good apprentice.

After the spicy and sour shredded potatoes are fried, the next step is scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

This dish is even more simple. After the oil is hot, first put the chopped tomatoes in the pot and stir-fry to release the sauce, then add the egg cubes.

It only takes 3 minutes to complete the frying. Before taking it out of the pan, add chopped green onion and a little oil, and the strong aroma will instantly arouse people's appetite.

Hong Henian couldn't help but praise: "Your basic skills are so good, you can cook enough to work as a chef in some small restaurants."

He Yuzhu said modestly: "I still need to learn more from my master in this craft."

Ordinary meals do not require separate learning. As long as your skills are improved, you can cook delicious dishes.

But why special dishes are called special dishes is because their preparation is different from ordinary dishes.

Although He Yuzhu's level has been improved, if he is asked to cook those dishes, the dishes he makes will not have the characteristics of others.

It's not that it's not delicious, it's just not outstanding.

So although He Yuzhu has a system, he still has to learn some special tricks from his master.

Just like Mapo Tofu, the effect of an ordinary dish in the hands of ordinary chefs and top chefs is completely different. You can't say that the dishes made by ordinary chefs are not delicious.

But when two plates of Mapo Tofu are put together and compared, you can clearly feel the charm of the special dish.

Hong Henian didn't say much, and made up his mind to teach more unique skills in the future.

It is not easy for a person to find a famous master, but it is also not easy for a famous master to find an apprentice who can pass on his skills.

After all, everyone has a talent limit when it comes to cooking. No matter how well taught some people are, their cooking will be inferior.

Hong Henian now hopes that He Yuzhu is good enough to be a chef.

Hong Jinyan walked into the kitchen and smelled the rich aroma, and said, "Dad, the food doesn't taste the same as what you fried?"

"Yes, these two dishes were cooked by your junior brother."

"Aren't you just planning to take on a disciple? Are you going to be an art master?" Hong Jinyan asked.

"Yes, your junior brother is also from a family of chefs. His father is my senior brother, otherwise he would not have been brought into our family so quickly."

"Oh, no wonder, this dish smells better than what Senior Brother cooks." Hong Jinyan couldn't help but praise.

He Yuzhu said modestly: "No, my skills are average. I still need to learn more."
