Siheyuan, counterattack from the proficiency panel

Chapter 7: Continue to experience and seek investment and follow-up reading
Sister Wang, don't worry. I'm a grown man, so this little bit of noodles is nothing to me. Besides, my sister and I can't come here to eat for free. I feel more at ease if I can do something for the shelter."

Wang Yun heard him say this and said:
"Well, Pillar. If you're tired, just rest. We're still here for you."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Okay, I understand, Sister Wang."

As He Yuzhu started kneading the dough, he could hear reminders in his head that his proficiency was improving.

"【Physical Skills Proficiency +5】,
[Cooking Skills +2],
[Physical Skills Proficiency +5],
[Cooking Skills +2],
By the time He Yuzhu had kneaded several large bowls of dough, his physical skills had also been upgraded.

[Physical Skill Level: Level 3 (Intermediate 50/5000)]

He Yuzhu only felt his dantian getting hot, and his muscles and bones seemed to be much stronger.

I feel full of energy, without any feeling of tiredness at all, and I have a lot more strength.

Everyone was surprised to see that He Yuzhu didn't look tired at all after dealing with so many people. He is indeed a young man, very strong.

A few brave ones even touched He Yuzhu's arm muscles as a joke.

"It feels different when you touch the muscles."

"Zhu Zi, you are so strong, you will definitely be able to have a lot of kids in the future. It will bring you a lot of blessings."

He Yuzhu also laughed.

"Sister, you have to help me keep an eye on it. I'm counting on you to find a wife. I want a pretty one, I don't want an ugly one.
This sentence made everyone laugh.

Now, He Yuzhu has become friends with these women who come to help.

"Sister Wang, can I cook for lunch?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu's knife skills are much better than theirs, Wang Yun now has some confidence in his cooking skills.

Anyway, the food at the shelter is simple and the requirements are not high, as long as it is cooked and edible.

"Okay, Zhuzi, then you try it."

As Wang Yun spoke, he personally stuffed firewood into the stove and helped He Yuzhu to light the fire.

At that time, most families in the city used coal stoves.

However, there are many people in the rescue station, and they use earthen stoves and burn firewood.

He Yuzhu waited until the pan was heated, then scooped a spoonful of oil into the pan. After the oil was heated, he poured the potato cubes into the pan and stir-fried them.

When the potato chunks were slightly browned, a rich aroma quickly wafted out, and everyone couldn't help but sniff.

"It smells so good!"

"Yeah, why do the dishes smell so good today? They make my mouth water!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

It's rare to smell such a fragrance in a rescue station.

In the past, most dishes were boiled in water. Because they were cooked in a large pot, it was very difficult to stir-fry them, and women simply did not have that much strength.

Moreover, the requirements for food here are not high. At the beginning, everyone took the trouble to stir-fry the food a few times, but it turned out to be uneven. Some were well-cooked, and some were still raw.

Otherwise, the food will just get burnt and become inedible, which is a waste.

Later I just added water and boiled it. As long as it was cooked and edible, it was fine.

It won't be like today.

He Yuzhu is very strong and stir-fryes the potatoes diligently, so that they don't get stuck in the pan.

The potato cubes were heated evenly, and basically every piece was slightly browned. Then He Yuzhu poured in an appropriate amount of boiling water, covered the pot and simmered it.

In the past, everyone added cold water, which not only made the potatoes difficult to cook, but also often left them rotten on the outside while still raw on the inside.

This situation will not occur if you add boiling water, and the potatoes will cook faster.

Soon a large pot of potatoes was cooked. The shiny yellow potatoes smelled fragrant and looked particularly appetizing.

Wang Yun and a group of women couldn't help themselves, and they all picked up their chopsticks to taste it. The potato cubes were cooked, but not mashed. Each piece still maintained its complete shape, and was soft and sticky, with a burnt aroma. It was really delicious.

Everyone was full of praise and gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up.

"Zhu Zi, you are amazing. The food in our shelter has never been so delicious."

"Yeah, this is what a professional chef cooks, it's delicious. Unlike what we cook, it's just like pig food."

"I can't believe it. Is this the taste of potatoes? They taste even better than meat! I can eat three bowls of potatoes like this!"

As everyone talked, they kept stuffing potatoes into their mouths.

"Brother, it smells so good, I want to eat it too!"

He Yushui stared at the potatoes in the basin with his big eyes, his saliva almost dripping with greed.

"Ah, look at us, a bunch of greedy cats, only caring about eating ourselves."

Wang Yun smiled embarrassedly, took a bowl, filled it up and handed it to Yu Shui.

She took another bowl, filled it up and handed it to He Yuzhu.
"Zhu Zi, you eat too."

There was no need to be polite, so He Yuzhu took the bowl and started eating.

Well, the taste is not bad. He is also quite satisfied.

This is only level 4 cooking skills. When your cooking skills reach level 6, you can be the head chef even in a big restaurant in the old city.

He Yuzhu thought.

After eating the potatoes, He Yuzhu said:

"Sister Wang, how about I fry the pickles as well? It doesn't take much oil, and it will taste much better than just eating them like this."

Wang Yun nodded, and was naturally happy to do so. Who doesn’t want to cook dishes more deliciously?

Their skills were not good enough, and now that He Yuzhu had volunteered, she was naturally more than happy to do it.

"Zhu Zi, thank you for your hard work. We don't cook because we are not good at cooking. If you can cook the dishes better, that would be great!

It’s not hard, it only takes a few seconds!”

As He Yuzhu spoke, he scooped a spoonful of lard into the pot. When the oil was hot, he poured in the pickles and stir-fried them. He also added some chopped garlic and dried chilies.

Soon, the unique aroma of pickles mixed with the aroma of chili peppers and minced garlic lingered in the nose, which was really mouth-watering.

"Oh my god, I can't handle it. Why does it smell so good?"

"It smells so good, even better than the smell just now, it makes me so greedy!
Everyone felt their stomachs, which were already empty, and felt even hungrier.

Finally, after an agonizing wait, dinner was served.

There were more than a hundred people in the entire rescue station, but there was not a single noise. The only sound you could hear was people chewing steamed bread, potatoes, and pickles.

Mixed with sighs of satisfaction.

Seeing everyone eating with such satisfaction, Wang Yun and the others all smiled.

A treasure has arrived at the rescue station!
"Zhu Zi, look how delicious everyone's food is! Thank you so much!"

Wang Yun said sincerely.

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu with gratitude.

He Yuzhu was naturally very happy too.

The rescue station is really a great place to improve my cooking skills. I guess I came to the right place.

"Sister Wang, let me handle the cooking at the shelter from now on. I can come and help every day until I find a job."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. As long as He Yuzhu was there, they would have a good meal.
