The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Tian Zehua nodded:

"Okay, let's eat!"

Everyone began to eat, adhering to the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

After finishing his meal, He Yuzhu asked:

"Master, didn't you say you had a son and a daughter? It's already the New Year, why aren't they coming back?"

Tian Zehua said:

“My son went to join the army and I haven’t heard from him since. If it weren’t for the letters that come back every year saying he’s safe and sound, I would have thought he was gone.”

My daughter is getting married and won't be back until the second day of the Lunar New Year!

He Yuzhu said:

"I see. The military has a lot of secrets these days, which is probably why your senior brother isn't telling you!"

Tian Zehua nodded:

"That's what I think too, but as long as we're alive, that's enough. In this world, just surviving is not easy!"

He Yuzhu sighed and said:

"Yes, I've heard a lot of things at Hongbinlou. Not to mention other places, even here, people are dying every day!"

Tian Zehua said:

"Just listen to those rumors and don't get involved in them. We cooks should just focus on cooking and not ask who the guests are."

He Yuzhu was stunned. He hadn't expected that his great opportunity was what his master had mentioned.

He Yuzhu nodded solemnly:

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Tian Zehua said:

"Zhu Zi, as you know, we cooks know a lot of information that others don't."

It's good to know this information. If others know we're being nosy, then no matter how good your cooking skills are.

No one will hire you. A chef relies on skill, not scheming. If you want to be a good chef, you have to constantly hone your skills.

Everyone needs to eat to be happy. After all, food is the most important thing for people.

As long as they are human, whether they are good or bad, kind or evil.

Everyone needs to eat. As long as you have good cooking skills, you won't starve. That's what a craftsman is.

If too many things are mixed in, the craftsman becomes impure, and an impure craftsman will never bring a craft to its peak!

After hearing Tian Zehua's words, He Yuzhu understood why his master's skills were considered master-level.

It should be noted that although Tian Zehua's skills have not yet reached the master level, it is believed that it will not be long before his master breaks through the current constraints and becomes a master chef.

However, He Yuzhu knew that in any industry, becoming a master meant being able to establish one's own school of thought.

For example, the Tan family cuisine, which was passed down by his father, was founded by a master chef.

Only then can one establish a sect or school, but this level is extremely difficult.

However, He Yuzhu knew that it wouldn't be difficult for him. As long as he worked hard to increase his proficiency, he wouldn't need to gain any insights. Once he reached the required level, the system would give him the most perfect insights.

You can become a master chef on your own.

However, He Yuzhu cannot and will not speak about this.

Tian Zehua was very pleased to see that He Yuzhu had taken his words to heart, and then said:

"Alright, go and rest. We need to get up early tomorrow to come with me to buy some things for the New Year!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, Master!"

After saying that, he took He Yuzhu to bed!

Seeing He Yuzhu leave, Yu Hui said in great shock:

"Master, this pillar's talent is amazing! It hasn't been long, and he's almost catching up with your eldest apprentice!"

Tian Zehua nodded:

"That's right, Zhu Zi is the most talented person I've ever seen. Of all my apprentices, only Zhu Zi has the best chance of breaking through to the Grandmaster level of chefs."

Although I, Tian Zehua, will not be able to attend the state banquet, my apprentice will, so I will teach him everything I know.

To my surprise, he had almost learned everything before I even started teaching him. The rest is just a test of his talent.

We'll see about next year!

Upon hearing Tian Zehua's words, Yu Hui nodded:

"Okay, let's go see next year! Oh, and I'll go grocery shopping tomorrow and buy lots of food."

Zhu Zi and his sister are quite pitiful, and so is this He Daqing—he's a real scoundrel!

Tian Zehua said:

"He Daqing abandoned his son, and he'll definitely regret it someday!"

Upon hearing Tian Zehua's words, Yu Hui nodded:

"That's right, he'll regret it sooner or later. With such talent, once Zhu Zi reaches the Grandmaster level, I'll see if He Daqing will have the face to come back!"

Tian Zehua said:

"Let's not talk about that. By the way, what do we need to buy tomorrow? Make a list for me, and Zhu Zi and I will go buy it tomorrow!"

Yu Hui nodded:

"Row!"

……

The next day, He Yuzhu said to He Yu:

"Rain, you have to stay home and be good. I'm going to buy some things, and I'll teach you to read when I get back, okay?"

He Yu nodded:

"Okay, brother, you go ahead. I'll be good at home!"

Hearing He Yu's words, He Yuzhu and Tian Zehua walked out with peace of mind.

After leaving the house, Tian Zehua said:

"Yu is so sensible, so sensible that it breaks my heart!"

He Yuzhu sighed and said...

Chapter 18: Knocking Out the Enemy Agent

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. The rain is still light, and my dad has run away, so I don't feel safe."

She's incredibly clingy now, like she's afraid I'll abandon her!

Tian Zehua said:

"Hey Zhuzi, you can't go without the rain!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"How could I? She's my own sister. If I were to abandon Yu, how could I explain it to my mother?"

Don't worry, I'll definitely raise Yu!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Tian Zehua nodded:

"I believe you!"

You should know that He Yuzhu takes He Yu with him everywhere he goes. In He Yuzhu's eyes, this younger sister is the apple of his eye.

Therefore, Tian Zehua was aware of what He Yuzhu had said.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the supply and marketing cooperative.

Just as the two were walking.

Bang!

Bang!

Several gunshots startled the two men, and He Yuzhu pulled Tian Zehua to hide without thinking.

Behind a bunker, Tian Zehua said helplessly:

"What happened now?"

He Yuzhu said:

"What else could it be? They're probably either enemy agents or spies. Anyway, they're not good people. Why can't they enjoy their lives properly?"

"You're always destroying this and that, but what good does it do? You can't really do anything about it."
