Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 87: I bought a lot of seafood (please subscribe)
In the end, Yuan Taihong won because he had the closest relationship with He Yuzhu. If He Yuzhu had become someone else's disciple first, he would have lost all his face.

He Yuzhu performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and Yuan Taihong hosted a apprenticeship banquet to invite his colleagues from Tianjin.

At the apprenticeship banquet, He Yuzhu also showed off his cooking skills, which made several Shandong cuisine masters who attended the banquet interested in cooking.

But that was at someone else's apprenticeship banquet, how could they spoil the fun?

After becoming his apprentice, He Yuzhu's stove was moved next to Yuan Taihong's stove. Yuan Taihong's signature dishes are braised ox tongue and braised beef strips, but he still started teaching from the basics.

This teaching is not a big deal. He Yuzhu can make about 70% of the common dishes with just one try.

It only took him three times to cook a complicated dish. Yuan Taihong went from being surprised to being numb, and then he started showing off his apprentice's skills to everyone he met.

Chef Bai and Chef Ma were very angry.

He Yuzhu has been in Tianjin for two months. During this period, he wrote a letter to his family, reminding them that banknotes must not be exchanged, and that gold and dollars are the most valuable.

There was not just one reply letter from home, but a pile of them, including ones from He Daqing, Chen Lanxiang, the old lady, Xu Damao, and even one written by Xu Damao on behalf of He Yushui.

After receiving the letter, He Yuzhu spent almost an hour reading it. After reading it, he felt warm in his heart because the letter was full of care and longing.

After work and during breaks, He Yuzhu would stroll around Tianjin. He basically visited places like Quanyechang, Xiaobailou, Eighteenth Street, and Minyuan Street (the former British Concession, now Fifth Avenue, known as the International Architecture Expo).

Now the system only has one long-term task, which has been pending. He has no time to look for it after coming to Tianjin, and the reward is just so-so anyway.

He Yuzhu had no experience with any of the Guo Party's tasks. If it weren't for that long-term task, He Yuzhu would have thought the system had shut down.

He also did one thing, which was to buy slaughtered beef and mutton. Of course, he did it secretly. He asked the supplier of the store and went there himself.

As a result, the other party refused to acknowledge it, so he had no choice but to get some cigarettes and alcohol from the store's purchasing agent, who then took him on a visit.

Then he started a crazy purchase. In two months, he bought about a hundred cows and nearly three hundred sheep. A small mountain of meat was piled up in the static space. Since he paid in cash and small yellow croakers, the slaughterhouse did not want to cut off this income, so no one went to the store to ask.

In other words, this is a halal restaurant and has no channels for purchasing pork, otherwise he would have to make a large purchase of pork.

One day in early May, He Yuzhu had a rare day off. Thinking that Tianjin was close to the sea and had abundant seafood, he planned to go to the beach to look for some fresh ingredients. Maybe he could find some rare seafood to practice with and improve his cooking skills of Tan family cuisine.

He changed into light clothes, went out to find a deserted place, parked his bicycle, and pedaled towards the beach.

There are quite a few people riding bicycles on the streets now, but no one who knows him has seen him buy a bicycle, so he still rides it secretly.

Heading eastward, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually faded away, and was finally replaced by the sound of waves. The salty sea breeze blew on his face, making him feel particularly relaxed.

When I got to the beach, there were not many people there. I wonder if people are struggling to make a living these days.

Only three or two fishing boats could be seen swaying on the sea.

These days, fishermen take all the fish they catch to the fish market to sell, so He Yuzhu naturally can't buy anything at the seaside.

After enjoying the sea breeze for a while and asking a fisherman for directions, He Yuzhu pedaled his bike to find the fish market.

After riding about five or six miles, we saw the fish market from a distance.

He Yuzhu rode his bike to the destination and was hit by someone just after he got off the bike and had no time to look around.

The person who bumped into him was a child, about seven or eight years old, covered in dirt and emitting a fishy smell. When he bumped into him, the half-basket of crabs and several fish on his back fell directly onto him.

"You hit someone and you still want to run away?"

He Yuzhu grabbed the child who had bumped into him and tried to continue running.

"Let me go!" "You got my clothes dirty and you want to leave without even saying sorry. Whose child are you who has no manners?"

"Don't worry about it!"

The child tried hard to break free, but He Yuzhu's hands were so strong that there was no way he could break free. He then cried out "wow".

"Uncle, please let me go. I'm sorry. Please, I will wash your dirty clothes for you. Wuwuwu."

"You know how to talk nicely now. Why are you running away?"

"Yes, someone is chasing me, woooo!"

He Yuzhu was about to let go when a group of people rushed out of the fish market. The little guy was so scared that he struggled even harder.

"Uncle, please let me go, please!"

"Give the child to us!" someone among the people rushing over shouted.

He Yuzhu looked at the people rushing out and turned to ask the child.

"Do you know them?"

"They want to take me back and make me a maid for their young master."

"Maid?" He Yuzhu was stunned, then looked at the dirty child with patched shorts, black hair, and a face streaked with tears. Is this a girl?
You're crazy to take her as a maid?

He Yuzhu put the bicycle in front of him and looked directly at the other person.

"Man, hand the person over to us!" shouted the leader on the opposite side.

"Master, please, I won't go with them. All the maids who worked for their young master are dead." While He Yuzhu was stunned, the little girl was so scared that she hid behind He Yuzhu.

"Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Man, I advise you to stay out of other people's business."

"Is what she said true?"

"This is not something you, an outsider, can do. Leave the person to us and let's go." The man opposite saw He Yuzhu's subconscious defensive movements and knew that he was a martial artist, so his tone became a little more polite.

At this time, several more people rushed over from the back of the crowd. The leader was dressed like a young landlord and wearing a melon-shaped hat. He pushed through the crowd and came to the front of the group, panting and saying, "Ma Wu, what are you doing? Why don't you bring the people over here?"

"Master, the guy across the street is not easy to mess with."

"I don't care if he's easy to mess with or not. When we get to Tanggu, I, Ma Gang, have the final say."

He Yuzhu laughed. Whose stupid son is this? He is truly ignorant and fearless.

"What are you laughing at? You old idiot, you think you're good enough just because you ride a rickshaw? Open your stupid eyes and see, I'm Ma Gang!"

(If any readers from Tianjin see this, please don’t laugh. I didn’t learn it like that just to keep up the trend!)

This reminded He Yuzhu of a sentence from his previous life: "Do you know who my father is? My father is Li*!"

"Haha, hahahaha." He Yuzhu laughed out loud.

Everyone was puzzled by He Yuzhu's laughter, including the girl behind him.

At this moment, she was staring at him with her round eyes, a strange look on her face, as if she was trying to confirm whether he was scared silly.
