Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

"Master, are you making fish sashimi?" After Ma Hua served the little ancestors their meals, it was time for him to send the kitchen utensils back to the canteen.

He Yuzhu was cutting thin slices, which were crystal clear and looked like whole sashimi.

When He Yuzhu saw Ma Hua, he just remembered this apprentice. He slapped his forehead and said regretfully, "No, Master has recently thought of a new dish, and today I just happened to see the right ingredients. You can ask the child to wait for a while, and he can learn to cook this dish."

When He Yuzhu was a chef a few years ago, he also thought of this dish, but he did not serve it.

It's nothing else but this dish seems to waste oil. In an age when saving is the main thing, serving this dish is not a good thing for the chef who invented it.

Of course, saving is also important nowadays.

But He Yuzhu is no longer a chef and is no longer in this line of work, so he is naturally not afraid of other people's gossip.

While He Yuzhu was cooking, he told Ma Hua what to pay attention to.

"This dish evolved from boiled fish. I found that adding some sauerkraut and pickled peppers creates a sour and spicy taste that is very appetizing.

The key point is this pickling, which is tasty and tender. It not only retains the freshness of the fish, but also has the fragrance produced by the heavy oil and the sourness of the pickled cabbage.

Fish head, fish bones, fish tail for soup..." He Yuzhu talked freely, not at all embarrassed about stealing other people's ideas, even though he had just discussed this issue with Lao Xiao.

He Yuzhu righteously despised this kind of "theft" at the time.

But there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just excited to see the prey.

As soon as He Yuzhu picked up the spatula and kitchen knife, he forgot everything else.

Add dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns to the boiling hot oil and sauté them until fragrant. Then, pour them over the fish fillets with a "sizzle". A mixed aroma spreads out.

Even someone like Ma Hua, who is a cook himself, couldn't help but take two deep breaths of the aroma.

“Being a chef is not like your master teaches you a few dishes and you just learn to cook them for the rest of your life.

We need to continue to study and communicate with other cuisines, learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses, only then can we make progress. "He Yuzhu turned around and saw a crowd of people behind him, all staring at him.

Like the former kitchen helpers or something like that, needless to say.

There were also several leaders like Lao Xiao who were sitting in the box. After they smelled the fragrance, they came out to check. Apart from a few words of greeting, they didn't pay much attention to it.

The worst situation was that of the three little ones in the He family. Two of the younger ones were pouting and looking up at He Yuzhu eagerly.

Even though He Yuan paid attention to her ladylike image and didn't lose her temper, her face looked bad.

This was normal, He Yuzhu had just made a dish for them to eat. But now he was making a delicious new dish.

If they hadn't been waiting for Ma Hua in the ward and hadn't come back for a long time, they would not have known about this.

He Yuzhu swallowed his saliva and said guiltily: "Dad is also trying to make this for the first time. When I get home, I will make a special meal for you."

The two little ones were still naive. When they heard He Yuzhu's promise, they nodded vigorously and smiled.

The He family's children still have some manners and rules. Just now, when Uncle Xiao was in the ward, he had already asked their father to cook to entertain the guests.

So no matter how greedy the children were, they never thought of eating other people's food.

He Yuan secretly raised three fingers. He Yuzhu saw it, gave the older girl a look, and nodded.

This was an interaction between father and daughter. He Yuan meant that she would only forgive He Yuzhu if he did it three times, and He Yuzhu agreed.

This also indirectly shows that He Yuzhu still loves He Yuan the most.

"Zhu Zi, it's not necessary. It's such a big pot. Give a small portion to the children to try, and also send some to your brother and sister-in-law. It has all kinds of flavors, sour and spicy. Maybe your wife will give birth to twins, a boy and a girl." It was Doctor Xiao who tried to smooth things over.

Several leaders nearby, even though they were thinking about tasting the flavor, also agreed.

He Yuzhu naturally refused.

In the end, as a compromise, He Yuzhu prepared several other dishes.

He chose another small black fish weighing one pound and asked Ma Hua to try to make it, with He Yuzhu giving guidance from the side.

This is also because black fish soup is a top-grade tonic. The key is that it is easier to raise than other fish.

There is a big pool next to the cafeteria, which is filled with fish weighing between one pound and three pounds.

This was purchased by the hospital cafeteria on behalf of the patient's family. People who have no sense of dignity don't know anything about these things.

Of course, the money for the ingredients this time will be paid for by Dr. Xiao.

He Yuzhu didn't care about the money, but he used the excuse of teaching Ma Hua how to cook, so he didn't have to go in and eat and drink with these leaders.

He Yuzhu went in to say hello, exchanged a few polite words, and agreed that after Liu Ting's child was born, He Yuzhu would prepare a table and everyone would have a good drink together.

This is what He Yuzhu is worried about.

No matter how important socializing is, it is not as important as having a wife and having children.

Ma Hua is considered an old master. He Yuzhu explained the steps, and his knife skills and other skills are also solid, so the taste of the dish he made is similar to what He Yuzhu had just made.

He Yuzhu divided it into two parts, borrowed a clean lunch box from the cafeteria, and asked Ma Hua to take some back for his wife and children to taste.

He Yuzhu divided the remaining half in half, one portion for the three children to try, and the other for Liu Ting.

This one is much more delicate. He Yuzhu used chopsticks to pick out all the chili peppers, peppercorns and sauerkraut.

After Liu Ting married He Yuzhu, her taste changed a lot.

I didn’t really eat spicy food before, but now I like to add some spicy food to change the flavor when I cook.

He Yuzhu served Liu Ting some food. Seeing that Liu Ting was full, he went to the kitchen to get some rice with the leftover soup and started eating.

"You're really smart. This soup goes really well with rice. Make it a few more times when you get home." Liu Ting's appetite was whetted. If she wasn't about to give birth, she might have eaten too much.

"I've already owed your eldest daughter three times." He Yuzhu ate with great relish, the spicy taste stimulating him to the point of sweating all over.

"That's between you and the child, not something you promised me." Liu Ting was also a little arrogant.

The key point is that the child is now well fed and has been taken home by Ma Hua.

Now there are only her and He Yuzhu in the ward, so she can say some coquettish words between husband and wife.

"Okay, when you're out of confinement, I'll make it for you as many times as you want." He Yuzhu must be doting on Liu Ting, because she's his own wife.

"Ah...there's still another month to go." Liu Ting felt bored when she thought of the long confinement period.

"No, you can't eat these spicy things before the child is weaned. So you have to wait until the child is weaned." He Yuzhu added.

“Stretch out your arm here, let me take a bite, I’m so angry… I don’t want to have any more children… Ahhhh…” (End of this chapter)
