Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 89 Brother, when will your apprentice graduate? (Please subscribe and give monthly tickets)
He Yuzhu didn't go out for long, and he didn't need to buy anything, he just needed to find a place to pick up something.

When He Yuzhu came back, his hands were full of bags, including food, pots and pans, towels, toothbrushes, soap, and he even got a small mirror for the little girl.

When the little girl opened the door, she was shocked. How much money would this cost?

She still hasn't asked what He Yuzhu does. What if he runs out of money and doesn't want her anymore?

"Brother Zhuzi, why are you buying so many things? You still have to make a living in the future."

"Isn't this just how we live? You can't keep using my money. Besides, I have to go to work during the day. Are you going to starve at home?"

"Do you dislike me? Actually, just eating once a day is enough!" the little girl whispered.

"You're as skinny as a stick. I can't even take you out!"

"You still despise me!"

"Well, I like the ones with a bit of meat!" He Yuzhu was thinking of the chubby dumpling of his sister He Yushui.

But the little girl misunderstood and thought to herself, "So she likes meaty food. Then I need to eat something fatter."

Her mother had told her about some of the experiences of being a personal maid in other people's families. She now considers herself a personal maid. The reason she was with Ma Gang was because Ma Gang was too bad. Basically, those who worked as his maids would either die or be crippled. Now that she met a good man, she had the audacity to follow He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu had no idea what he was thinking. He just thought of it as finding a younger sister. As for what would happen in the future, he had already found her. When he returned to Beijing, he would let his mother have a headache.

There is a house to live in in the yard. The old lady has no children, so you can adopt her as her granddaughter and send her to school. When she grows up, you can find someone to marry her off. If that doesn't work, you can find a son-in-law who lives with her.

The two of them finished the remaining donkey meat hotpot and donkey offal soup. Of course, the little girl still ate the hotpot, but she had no complaints because her stomach was a little uncomfortable in the afternoon.

After dinner, He Yuzhu took a bath. The little girl returned to her room and lay on the soft mattress. Her tears wet the pillow. Since she went north with her mother, she had never slept in a bed, let alone such a soft mattress and quilt.

"Mom, has Xiaoman met the benefactor of his destiny?"

"Mom, please bless Xiaoman and Zhuzi brother in heaven!"

"mother,"

The little girl fell asleep with a smile on her face.

The next morning, He Yuzhu told the little girl to lock the door and remember to cook at home, and then went to Huifanglou.

She is now working in the second kitchen. He has basically used up all the skills that Yuan Taihong knows, including dishes of other cuisines, and the dishes of other cuisines he cooks are better than those of Yuan Taihong.

In the end, Yuan Taihong stopped teaching him new dishes and watched him practice halal dishes every day, which was really a huge blow to him.

He Yuzhu was not in a hurry to propose the chef, but Chef Bai and Chef Ma had urged Yuan Taihong several times.

Yuan Taihong was really jealous of such an apprentice. He still had to save some face. He couldn't afford to have He Yuzhu become an apprentice in such a short time, so he dragged it out. He wanted to wait until He Yuzhu's skills surpassed his, and then he would have nothing to say.

Unfortunately, others did not give him a chance. When the market closed at night, Yuan Taihong was blocked. The person who blocked him was also He Daqing's senior brother. However, He Daqing did not know that his senior brother was also in Tianjin.

The person who came was Li Baoguo. He also attended the apprenticeship banquet. The two dishes made by He Yuzhu piqued his interest.

Today, he came to Huifanglou and ordered a few dishes made by He Yuzhu, and then met Yuan Taihong when the restaurant closed.

"Baoguo, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, brother, I have something to ask of you!"

"Ask me? How can you, the head chef of Hongbinlou, ask me for help?" Yuan Taihong was a little bit unconvinced. His junior brother was doing better than him, because the circle of halal cuisine was so small, and there were few prestigious customers. Li Baoguo was different. Sichuan cuisine had a wide audience, and he often went in and out of wealthy houses.

"Let's go find a place to talk. It's a good opportunity for us to have a couple of drinks."

"No, no, I don't feel comfortable with you, the chef of Hongbinlou, begging me and asking for wine. You'd better tell me first and see if I can do it. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing for both of us brothers if I can't do it!" "Okay, I told you, don't be angry, senior brother!" Li Baoguo had to say this when Yuan Taihong didn't fall for it.

"You speak first!"

"Actually, I had dinner at your Huifanglou today."

"How is it? Are our halal dishes authentic?"

"You are the best in Tianjin!" Li Baoguo gave a thumbs up. There are many big halal restaurants in Tianjin, so you definitely can't be ranked first.

"Just for this?" It doesn't sound like a compliment to me.

"Hey, what I ate today were all the dishes made by your apprentice."

"Pillar?"

"Why do you want to eat his cooking?"

"It's not that there's no one under my tutelage, so..."

"Oh, I finally understand. You're here to poach me for a disciple. No wonder you said you were begging me and wanted to buy me a drink! No way!"

"No, Senior Brother, please don't be so decisive. I just wanted to ask you when Zhuzi will graduate and whether he is willing to learn Sichuan cuisine. You see, I didn't go directly to Zhuzi. I gave you enough face, didn't I? I came here with sincerity!"

"Then you have to treat me to some good wine, otherwise I won't talk to you about this!"

"Okay, it has to be good wine. Please, Senior Brother, would you like to try the food at Hongbinlou today?"

"Why, you want to make a few yourself and let me, your senior brother, give you some pointers?" Yuan Taihong teased.

"As long as what I said can be discussed, there is no problem. Today, my junior brother will make a fool of himself." Li Baoguo gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's go."

"please!"

The two brothers called a rickshaw and arrived at Hongbinlou. Li Baoguo was supposed to rest today, and when he saw the front of Hongbinlou, he thought something was wrong. But when he asked, he found out that they wanted to eat, so he quickly found a small private room for them.

After the waiter brought the tea, Li Baoguo clasped his fists towards Yuan Taihong and said, "Brother, please wait a moment. I'll go get some snacks."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your appetizers." Yuan Taihong was not polite either, since Li Baoguo had begged him for it.

The dishes were served soon, including Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, Mapo Tofu, and Boiled Pork Slices. As for the pork elbows, they were too time-consuming and there was definitely no time left.

Finally, Li Baoguo came in with a small snack box containing peanuts, mouth-watering chicken, and a jar of Fenjiu.

After putting the dishes in place and opening the wine, Li Baoguo said, "This is ten-year-old Fenjiu. What do you think, brother? Is it a good wine?"

"Well, you are sincere today."

Yuan Taihong sniffed the aroma of the wine and spoke with a smile.

"What about the pillar?"

"Let me taste your cooking first."

"Yes, yes, try it first. Brother, please taste it and see if my cooking skills are good enough to be accepted as your disciple."
