Courtyard House: He Yuzhu Joins the Army, Presses an AK-47 with One Hand

Chapter 123 Brewing Recipes

"Director He, please wait a moment." Xu Huizhen said to He Yuzhu with a smile, and then she hurriedly took small steps to the cellar. Soon, Xu Huizhen came out of the cellar with a small jar containing 5 jin of wine in her hand. There was a big red paper on it with the three characters "Daughter Red" written on it in black calligraphy.

This jar dates back to the Qing Dynasty.

However, it has little collectible value.

Aside from being a bit old, he's good for nothing.

“This jar of wine is at least 150 years old, please have a taste.” Xu Huizhen opened the lid directly, and then, with a small spoon in her hand, scooped up a spoonful of white wine and let He Yuzhu taste it.

Chen Xueru's eyes almost popped out.

"Hey."

"Xu Huizhen".

What's wrong with you?

"I've been telling you about this wine for two years, I'm almost worn out from talking to you, but you won't even let me see you, let alone drink it. He Yuzhu made me taste it as soon as he came over, and you were the one who took the initiative."

Chen Xueru frowned slightly.

“I’m telling you, Xu Huizhen, I’m very dissatisfied.”

"Extremely dissatisfied."

Chen Xueru even stomped her foot in a very serious manner.

She's being coquettish.

Deep down, she was being coquettish for He Yuzhu's sake, definitely not for Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at Chen Xueru: "Director He is a war hero, a man who has been in the newspapers many times. And you? What are you? A woman who has been divorced twice. Of course I'll give the drink to Director He, not you."

Chen Xueru's lips moved.

But he could say nothing more.

No problem.

He Yuzhu is a combat hero.

He's ten thousand times better than her.

They should be treated differently.

He Yuzhu did not participate in the fight between the two women, nor did he try to mediate. He simply let them argue until they were tired of it and stopped.

He Yuzhu held the wine in his mouth, smacked his lips, closed his eyes, and savored the aroma.

This is what wine tasting is all about.

Instead of swallowing the wine in one gulp.

Drinking like that is just a way to drown one's sorrows.

Drinking and getting drunk are two different concepts. Some people may drink their whole lives without ever understanding what drinking and getting drunk really mean. It's like eating. Some people eat just to fill their stomachs and never notice how unique the taste of food is, while others eat for the flavor. People have different life goals, so how can the final results be the same? When you learn to appreciate life or strive to enjoy it, you've already succeeded halfway.

This is a matter of perspective.

We need to broaden our perspective.

"How about it?"

Xu Huizhen asked He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru also looked at He Yuzhu, curious about what it tasted like.

He Yuzhu slowly said, "This is a high-proof sauce-flavored baijiu, but it is not spicy at all. Instead, it is very smooth. It is indeed a wine that has been brewed for more than 100 years. It even has a stringy texture, bringing out the flavor of the grain to the fullest. It is very good."

Hearing He Yuzhu's high praise, Xu Huizhen smiled.

Moreover, it's obvious that He Yuzhu is someone who knows how to appreciate and drink wine; his demeanor just now was incredibly professional.

Chen Xueru looked at Xu Huizhen with burning eyes and said, "The wine has already been opened, can I have a sip too, just a small sip?"

Xu Huizhen hesitated for a moment, but still served Chen Xueru a small spoonful.

However, the portion was less than half of what He Yuzhu had just been served.

Chen Xueru didn't care about the quantity; she was already satisfied just to have a taste.

Xu Huizhen is indeed a person with a conscience.

Chen Xueru put the wine in her mouth and nodded repeatedly: "Good, good wine."

Chen Xueru was also a regular at Xu Huizhen's tavern. She liked to drink, otherwise she wouldn't go to the tavern every day. Her fabric shop also allowed her to find out a lot of all sorts of news from all over the country. She loved to drink and had seen and tasted a lot. Chen Xueru continued, "This is the best drink I've ever had."

He Yuzhu spoke again at this moment, but he didn't finish his sentence: "However, the base of your wine is not very good. If the recipe were more perfect, a 150-year-old wine could become a masterpiece. Apart from its historical significance, your wine is not particularly good."

Xu Huizhen was taken aback.

She wasn't angry because she knew He Yuzhu was telling the truth.

There are hundreds or even thousands of wineries of all sizes across the country. Their pickled vegetables are good, but their wine is not particularly delicious.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly at Xu Huizhen: "I'm planning to open a restaurant soon. Restaurants definitely need alcohol. How about we cooperate? I'll give you the recipe, and you can brew the wine. We can sell it together in your tavern and my restaurant. I won't drink your wine for free."

Upon hearing the brewing recipe, Xu Huizhen's eyes lit up.

"If the taste is exceptionally good, of course we can cooperate. We'll then share the profits of our tavern with you proportionally."

Xu Huizhen readily agreed.

He Yuzhu nodded.

Working with Xu Huizhen would undoubtedly be very pleasant.

"Get me paper and pen."

"I'll write down the recipe for you."

He Yuzhu said.

“Okay,” Xu Huizhen immediately went to get paper and pen to write down the recipe.

After Xu Huizhen left, Chen Xueru wanted to say something to He Yuzhu, but Xu Huizhen quickly interrupted, saying, "Chen Xueru, we run a tavern and a restaurant. You run a fabric shop, so stop worrying about brewing recipes."

Xu Huizhen's words thwarted Chen Xueru's wicked plan.

She didn't know how to say anything more.

He Yuzhu quickly wrote down the formula for Xu Huizhen, naturally on the condition that he kept his back to Chen Xueru so she wouldn't see it.

"We'll just have to wait a few days for the brewing results. We'll be waiting for good news. You can come find me at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang," He Yuzhu said to Xu Huizhen.

He Yuzhu didn't talk to the two women much and chose to leave.

I've been hanging out with two divorced women, and although we haven't done anything, it just feels weird.

He Yuzhu returned to the Infantry Research Institute. Computers were a major research area. While the major research was progressing smoothly, He Yuzhu was also working on a smaller design. He designed an engine, a super engine, that could be used in cars, trucks, vans, and tricycles. It was incredibly powerful and far ahead of its time, making another significant contribution to the Dragon Kingdom.

The engine is the core of a car's power, and He Yuzhu's innovation has solved many difficult core engine technology problems.

When Chen Banshan received the engine design drawings in his office, he was grinning from ear to ear.

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

He Yuzhu left work in casual clothes.

He went straight to find his girlfriend, Tang Qingfang.

As He Yuzhu was passing through an alley, seven people suddenly jumped out, each holding a large stick, and blocked his way.

"He Yuzhu!"

"You're in big trouble!"

"Kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Or I'll cripple you!"

All seven people were wearing hoods. One burly man deliberately muffled his voice with a gruff tone and spoke angrily to He Yuzhu.

Chapter 124 Going to the East China Sea with Tang Qingfang

He Yuzhu braked at that moment.

Get off the bicycle.

Seeing the seven men in front of him covered with masks made from torn pieces of black clothing, He Yuzhu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Cui Dake, Nan Yi, if you two want to take revenge on me, just do it. Why are you wearing these tattered masks? It's like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Nan Yi and Cui Dake, both wearing masks, broke out in a cold sweat.

They were all covered up completely.

How did they manage to spot it?

Logically speaking, even one's own mother might not recognize this kind of outfit.

Nan Yi and Cui Dake looked at each other in bewilderment.

There was nothing wrong with confirming to each other.

They then looked at the five burly men they had hired.

They were all covered up completely.

It shouldn't be.

Cui Dake continued in a gruff voice, "We don't know who Nan Yi is or who Cui Dake is. He Yuzhu, just remember this: you're too arrogant. You've messed with the wrong person. You know that? Today, you're done for. I don't care if you're a soldier or not. We're going to beat you up. It would be best if you just knelt down and admitted your mistake. Maybe then we'll beat you a little lighter. Otherwise, we'll go all out!"

Nan Yi: "Yes!"

Both of them spoke in rough voices so that He Yuzhu wouldn't be able to hear them.

On the surface, Nan Yi and Cui Dake appeared very calm, but inside they were both in a state of utter turmoil.

what's the situation.

How did He Yuzhu manage to recognize the two of them?

The two looked at each other again, their eyes filled with mutual misunderstanding.

He Yuzhu sneered, “Two worthless scoundrels. So what if they couldn’t be with Ding Qiunan? They can’t have Ding Qiunan, so they’re retaliating against me. They’re just in a fit of impotent rage.”

Looking at Nan Yi and Cui Dake.
