Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 65 Debunking Lies
Hong Henian said: "You can try Zhuzi's stir-fried dishes, they are no worse than mine."

Like ordinary stir-fries, even if Hong Henian cooked them himself, the taste would not be much better than He Yuzhu's.

After all, the upper limit of these dishes is just that. It is no better to let a master cook it. My advantage is that I know a lot. I can also make those difficult dishes and ensure a good taste.

"Really?"

Zhang Zusheng was actually a little angry. If a helper apprentice wants to become a chef, he must first check it himself.

Although He Yuzhu is Hong Henian's apprentice, he still needs to confirm with himself that He Yuzhu has the ability to be a chef, and then as the head chef, he can communicate with the shopkeeper.

But the two sides maintained a relationship on the surface but were still somewhat hostile secretly.

Hong Henian went directly over to talk to the shopkeeper today. He didn't take himself seriously.

How will I manage myself as a head chef in the future?
This is also the reason why the shopkeeper didn't make any big announcement about He Yuzhu's promotion to a full-time job. He always wanted to save face for the head chef.

Zhang Zusheng took the chopsticks and tried it. The dishes cooked by He Yuzhu did taste better.

It seems that I have been training for a long time before. In order to get in, I just said that I would be an apprentice and I agreed.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu hid his cooking skills for two months before showing off his cooking skills. It seems that this person has a deeper mind and is not as loyal and honest as he seems on the surface.

Zhang Zusheng was very disgusted, but in this current situation, he couldn't chase people away.

After all, He Yuzhu is now nominally the master of cold dishes, so it makes sense for Hong Henian to teach him step by step how to make stir-fried dishes.

"Okay, just watch more and don't make any mistakes."

Zhang Zusheng dropped these words and returned to his seat.

Hong Henian smiled and said: "Zhuzhu, this can be considered as establishing a foothold. From now on, let Xu Huizhen cook all the cold dishes for you as much as possible. Come and learn how to cook with me more often."

"Okay, thank you Master."

After passing Zhang Zusheng's level, others won't say much.

If there is food in the private room, Hong Henian will take over and cook it himself.

He Yuzhu started and followed suit.

When cooking by yourself, each dish is a little bit of experience. If you learn from the master, you will also have experience, but it will be less.

With a glance, Zhang Zusheng's son Zhang Jing'an left early.

He Yuzhu asked: "The chef is still so busy, and Zhang Jing'an just left?"

Hong Henian curled his lips and said with some disdain: "Zhang Jing'an is just a cook. If it weren't for his father, he wouldn't be able to be a chef. He leaves early at night many times, like a second-rate person."

He Yuzhu only worked half a day before and didn't know what happened at night. It seemed that Zhang Jing'an left often.

Moreover, I also discovered before that Zhang Jing'an was often away, and when he was there, he rarely did cooking, but only cooked some stewed dishes.

"Isn't he technically good?"

"Yeah, I'm not a chef."

Hong Henian casually said a few words about Zhang Jing'an, and the matter passed away.

At this time of night, there are just that many people. After all, there is no nightlife. After dark, the time to eat is relatively early and the time to finish is relatively early.

By about 9 o'clock, the kitchen had relaxed and the helpers and apprentices started to clean up. Hong Henian asked He Yuzhu to cook four portions of vegetables. Then he brought two lunch boxes and gave one to He Yuzhu and Ye Xiangqun each.

The three of them chatted while pushing their bicycles, and soon arrived at Hong Henian's house. Ye Xiangqun's house was in an alley not far away. It was actually very close, otherwise they wouldn't have studied cooking under him.

He Yuzhu followed his master into his home, first greeted his master's wife and senior sister, and also met his senior brother Hong Jindong who worked in Fengze Garden.

After talking for a while, He Yuyu came out of the house reluctantly.

He Yuzhu asked: "Why don't you want to go back with me?"

He Yuyu nodded: "Brother, can you not go back? My second sister and I sleep well, but I have to sleep by myself when I get home."

Children are like this. They don’t even want a home when they have playmates.

He Yuzhu said: "But if you don't go back, the neighbors in the courtyard will think that I sold you."

If He Yuzhu had a deep relationship with his master and his family, it wouldn't matter if He Yuzhu was left here, but in fact they only knew each other for such a short time that he always felt that he didn't want to trouble others.

It was already very embarrassing to bother Master’s wife to help carry rainwater during the day. He couldn’t let He Yuyu stay at Master’s house all day long.

The master and mistress also asked He Yuyu to stay, but He Yuzhu said: "No need, I will take Yuyu back from here in the future, and I will ask you to help me look after her at night. If it rains or snows occasionally, I will stay." It’s fine to be here with you.”

"That's fine too."

After bringing He Yuyu out, the teacher's wife saw an extra lunch box on the table: "How could you bring one more?"

Hong Henian didn't pay attention just now, he was only focused on retaining He Yuzhu. He said that He Yuzhu had become a regular employee and today was the first time to bring food.

The teacher's wife said: "This child still blames Renyi for leaving the food here on the first day."

"This apprentice has really done a good job. The Puritan is good and he can already start cooking."

"Well, then when will you accept him as your official disciple?"

"Just wait and pick a good day."

He Yuyu followed He Yuzhu for a while before stopping, pouting and saying, "Brother, I'm tired."

He Yuzhu turned around and looked at the somewhat unhappy He Yuzhu, with helplessness on his face. He walked up to him and asked, "Then I will carry you?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, brother." He Yuyu instantly became happy.

He Yuzhu walked back with He Yuzhu on his back, wondering if it was time to buy a bicycle.

Now I have a stable income, which is 35 yuan a month. He Daqing also sent me [-] yuan. Although he hasn't sent it yet, he should receive it soon.

Besides, I want money to catch some fish in the moat, and if I sell it, I will get a lot of money.

I didn't need a bicycle before, but now I have to work all day. There are no buses in the evening, only fixed trams, which are not convenient.

Although bicycles are very expensive now, costing about 300, you can still buy them if you bite the bullet.

The price of bicycles will have to be driven down until the First Five-Year Plan is carried out. Only then will factories and mines be vigorously built to increase bicycle production and reduce the price to less than 200 yuan.

He Yuyu looked like it wasn't heavy, but he was still tired from carrying it, so he asked, "Is it okay for my brother to buy a bicycle in a few days and then I can take you back on my bicycle at night?"

"Okay, okay, I have a bicycle to sit on."

When he entered the house and saw that the house had been repaired, He Yuzhu was still very excited, especially with the indoor bathroom. He Yuzhu taught her how to use it, and then told him to flush it every time and remember to lock the door.

The next day, He Yuzhu sent Yu Yu to school. After walking a few steps, he saw Tian Zao.

Pulling He Yuzhu to the side of the road, he asked, "Do you know a fat man who is shorter than you, smells like green onion, and has a mole on his ear?"

"We know each other, what's wrong?" "Zhang Yong's wife stole a man, we need to investigate."

He Yuzhu was immediately surprised. The man Tian Zao described to him was Zhang Zusheng's son Zhang Jing'an. Could it be that Zhang Jing'an and Zhang Yong's daughter-in-law were adulterers and adulterers.

"Sister, you said the two of them are having sex?"

Tian Zao nodded and asked, "Do you know him?"

After He Yuzhu reported it to Tian Zao, Tian Zao took the information very seriously and told Tiedan.

Tiedan immediately arranged for personnel to conduct a surveillance inspection of the house. Last night, he found a man sneaking in and heard the sound of sexual intercourse. After the man came out, he smelled the strong fragrance of green onions as he passed by. It can be concluded that it was chef.

Tiedan told Tian Zao the whole situation.

Coincidentally, I met He Yuzhu this morning, thinking that he was also a chef and would know the man who came to have an affair.

He Yuzhu said: "Of course I know him. He is Zhang Jing'an, the son of our chef. He has an unusual relationship with Zhang Yong. The two of them should be cousins."

He Yuzhu was also surprised, but after thinking about it, Zhang Jing'an's level was limited and he had plenty of free time, so it was normal for him to hook up with his cousin's daughter-in-law.

He Yuzhu first introduced the relationship between the Zhang family and several others, and asked: "Can you confirm that their family is an enemy agent?"

Tian Zao nodded: "I wouldn't tell anyone else, but you provided the clue, so I will tell you that yesterday we climbed over the wall and searched when Zhang Yong's wife was not at home, and found out Guns and a diary recording secret codes can confirm that Zhang Yong is an enemy agent."

This is what He Yuzhu wants. As long as Zhang Yong is confirmed to be an enemy agent, his life will not last long.

In this way, there is no need to take revenge, Tian Zao and the others can take it all in one go.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Tian Zao said: "You are just an ordinary chef apprentice. It's better not to get involved in this kind of thing. To avoid any accidents, just help us pay attention to whether there is anything special about Zhang Yong's performance in the kitchen or who he comes into contact with." That’s it.”

"Then if I have any clues, how can I find you? Just go to the Military Control Commission?"

"I basically work here, but if you can't find me you can go to my house."

Tian Zao then gave an address. Tian Zao lived in a reverse-seat house in a courtyard.

"Okay, if anything happens, I'll go over and tell you."

"Well, if we catch them this time, I will help you apply to be an activist. I will wear a red flower and hold a meeting to praise you." Tian Zao said with a smile.

"Can I change the reward?" He Yuzhu doesn't want to be in the limelight. Who knows if they can hit him in one fell swoop? If someone slips through the net, wouldn't it be very unlucky to plot against him?

Tian Zao asked: "Then what reward do you want?"

He Yuzhu said: "I mainly don't want to be in the limelight. How about you teach me wrestling?"

Tian Zao's father was a famous wrestler in the capital, but unfortunately he died at the hands of Han Qingkui.

Tian Zao's partner Tiedan is her senior brother, and his wrestling skills are also very superb.

It stands to reason that the right choice is to learn from Tiedan, but He Yuzhu is a systematic man. As long as he enters the door, wrestling is included in the system, and he exercises diligently, he can improve his level. As for whether the master is good or not, in fact it is not important.

"You want to learn wrestling?"

"Yes, I wanted to learn it when I was a child, but my father forced me to practice Bianshao."

"Okay, no problem. Come to my house tomorrow morning and I will take you to the wrestling ring."

"Thank you Master."

"Just don't be so serious about calling me senior sister. I can't turn you into a disciple." Tian Zao said with a smile.

"Good senior sister."

Tian Zao was willing to teach, which made He Yuzhu overjoyed. There were no training classes at this time, so if you wanted to learn skills, you could only recognize the master.

Otherwise, others will not teach you their housekeeping skills.

He Yuzhu actually wanted to learn a martial art, but since he didn't know anyone, he could only learn wrestling from him first.

I bought something as usual on the road, and when I delivered it to the space, I felt that I needed a bicycle.

You can only buy a small amount of things here. If you have a bicycle, you can buy a bag of rice and noodles at a time.

When he came to the kitchen, He Yuzhu felt very funny when he saw that Zhang Yong was still okay, as if he could see a green grassland above his head.

Zhang Jing'an was still very happy, humming a ditty, very free and easy.

No one in the kitchen took care of him. The shopkeeper didn't ask about his affairs for Zhang Zusheng's sake. Zhang Zusheng also had a headache and couldn't control his son.

He Yuzhu was just doing his job and teaching Xu Huizhen how to cut vegetables.

Knife craftsmanship is a process where practice makes perfect, and it’s easy to get started.

Anyway, we cut the cold vegetables first, it doesn’t matter whether they are larger or smaller.

When he got off work in the evening, Hong Henian first said: "Zhuzi, don't leave this lunch box at our house. I'll leave it to you to take it home and eat it in the morning."

He Yuzhu smiled. He passed by the master's house with his lunch box at night. Why did he have the nerve to take it back? Besides, He Yuzhu also ate the food from the master's house, so he said: "There is no one else in my house. I bought all the food in the morning." If you bring your lunch box with you for breakfast, no one will eat it."

People in Beijing generally don’t make breakfast. They basically buy soy milk, fried dough sticks, buns, steamed buns, spicy soup and so on outside.

He Yuzhu humbly gave in, but when he arrived at the master's house, he left the lunch box and took He Yuzhu away.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back with his sister, Jia Dongxu turned to the east wing and said, "Master, you are now the steward of the courtyard, can you deal with Silly Zhu?"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes: "How do you want to deal with it?"

Jia Dongxu said: "I have already thought about it. I will find a few buddies to put a sack on him and beat him up."

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Stupid, how can you do this kind of thing? He has someone above him. If you are accused of being an enemy agent, your life will be over."

"How can he have so much energy? Who can he know?"

Of course, Yi Zhonghai would not tell his apprentice about his previous relationship with He Yuzhu. After all, it would be too embarrassing to bribe him.

Just a reminder: "He and the Tian Zao girl from the management committee have known each other since they were young, and they are still very energetic."

"Just him?"

Jia Dongxu said disdainfully: "Master, were you deceived by him? He didn't know Tian Zao before?"

"What did you say, he didn't know you before?" Yi Zhonghai thought he heard wrongly.

"Yes, before, Tian Zao asked me about Sha Zhu."

Yi Zhonghai immediately grew angry. Silly Zhu Mingming told him before that Hetian Zao was a good friend who had known him for a long time. There was not much age difference between the two, and it was possible that they knew each other when they were in school, so they believed what he said.

"You said Tian Zao asked you about Si Zhu? Why didn't you tell me about this?"
