The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

The people in the compound breathed a sigh of relief when they saw He Yuzhu leave, knowing that no one wanted to get involved with him now.

After all, everyone knows about the He family's situation.

Upon reaching the door, He Yuzhu handed Yan Bugui the bag:

"Uncle, here's your bag, thank you!"

He Yuzhu also had a bag in his hand, which he used to cover his tracks!

Yan Bugui also thought the books were in He Yuzhu's bag.

Then he said to He Yuzhu:

"Pillar, you're gone?"

He Yuzhu nodded, and then said:

"Goodbye, Uncle! I'd like to wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu left. Seeing He Yuzhu leave with He Yu, the third aunt came out and said to the third uncle:

"Old man, has Zhuzi left?"

Yan Bugui nodded:

"Yes, let's go, poor two children!"

The three aunties said:

"In this world, life is tough for everyone. Just take care of yourself!"

Hearing what the third aunt said, Yan Bugui nodded:

"Yes, I know!"

After saying that, he went back to prepare for the New Year.

He Yuzhu then took He Yu to Master Tian Zehua's house, where they saw He Yuzhu and He Yu arrive.

Tian Zehua said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, you're here. Is the house all tidied up?"

Chapter Fifteen: Changing the Chef's Tradition

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Everything is packed up!"

Tian Zehua said:

"come on in!"

Then Tian Zehua let He Yu go out and play with other people.

Then Tian Zehua said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, I think you've learned cooking quite well, especially your knife skills. You're good enough to be an apprentice at plating."

You'll be in charge of cooking for a bit, and I'll see what you're capable of. If you do well, I'll make you the second chef next year.

Do you think it will work? "

He Yuzhu said modestly:

"Master, am I qualified? I've only been learning for less than a year. You need to know the rules for chefs..."

You should know that the rules for chefs are three years of apprenticeship, two years of service, and five years of receiving payment.

All of these are gifts from Master.

Tian Zehua said:

"Those were old rules. Now it's a new society, a new country, and we don't follow those rules anymore."

Besides, given your situation, three years as an apprentice, two years of service, and by five years your sister will be ten years old.

How will you support your family?

He Yuzhu's golden touch couldn't generate money yet, so he could only nod:

"Alright, thank you very much, Master. Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not let you down!"

Tian Zehua was very satisfied.

He Yuzhu had learned Sichuan cuisine and then left because of this, and was eventually brought to the steel rolling mill by Yi Zhonghai.

He went off to make money, and because he didn't follow the rules, he never contacted his master again.

He Yuzhu wouldn't be like that now.

Tian Zehua is helping He Yuzhu not because He Yuzhu is exceptionally talented, but because He Yuzhu is currently facing difficulties. If he doesn't offer help now, what will happen when He Yuzhu truly rises to prominence?

By then it will be too late to add the finishing touches.

Tian Zehua continued:

"Zhu Zi, I know you are exceptionally talented. Among all your disciples, you have the best talent."

Although I don't know how much you've learned about cooking, I've certainly seen your knife skills and dough-making abilities.

You've learned almost all of Hongbinlou's master craftsmanship; what you lack is the right touch.

"Being a chef is a demanding profession; it requires some experience. If you have no questions, I'll talk to Manager Gu about it next year!"

Hearing Tian Zehua's words, He Yuzhu knew that he was definitely fine.

He Yuzhu looked at his panel:

Name: He Yuzhu

Skill: Cooking Level 4

Extreme Fist Level

Tai Chi Level

Guazhang Level 4 [4/]

Wing Chun Level [/]

Hidden weapon level 4 [/]

Disguise level

Lifting Technique Level 4 [4/]

Tiger and Leopard Thunder Level

Hanging Toad Strength Level [/]

Hum Ha Mystic Art Level [4/]

Natural Heart Sutra Level

My cooking skills are already at level 4, and I believe that in another year, I will at least reach level 1.

Because Chinese martial arts have integrated everything into daily life, they have improved very quickly.

However, He Yuzhu was not in a hurry, after all, he had only been in this world for a little over two months.

With so many skills, I believe I'll be able to survive better in this world.

As his strength increased, he was able to freely collect and retrieve items within a ten-meter radius of his space.

However, He Yuzhu did not use the space to do anything illegal.

There's still very little space available, and He Yuzhu has been focusing his energy on improving his skills lately.

As for what will happen in the future, He Yuzhu plans to lay low for now, since he has his master's house.

And the property has already been transferred to my name, but I haven't gone there yet.

Now she's busy taking care of her younger sister and learning new skills.

Moreover, it's only May 1st after the Lunar New Year, so there's still plenty of time.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu decided to play it safe for now. After all, it was a time of military control, and if anything unexpected happened, he would probably be finished.

Let alone others, even those people from before have to keep a low profile.

You should know that the entire capital is now managed by the military. If you cause trouble, they will accuse you of being an enemy agent and execute you without any recourse.

He Yuzhu is no longer capable of withstanding the soldiers' guns and artillery.

Although He Yuzhu had tried to go out and freeload several times.

But now the nights in the capital are too quiet; apart from military patrols, very few people are out and about.

Even outside, they were repeatedly questioned and checked.

As for the daytime, He Yuzhu needed to study at Hongbinlou and didn't have the opportunity.

However, He Yuzhu knew that there was a two-year gap in this world.

That was the period from the end of the military control commission in 1953, the establishment of local governments, to the reforms in 1955.
