The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Now everyone knows that He Yuzhu really wanted to use this to improve his cooking skills.

To think that someone became a head chef at the age of sixteen, and without a trace of arrogance.

"Be even more humble," Tian Zehua sighed.

"Ah, no wonder Zhu Zi was able to improve so quickly. If I had been like Zhu Zi back then and now, I would have become a grandmaster long ago."

Unfortunately, I'm too old now and my strength is failing me.

Friends, if you also want to improve your abilities like Pillar, then learn more from Pillar!

Upon hearing Tian Zehua's words, all the apprentices' eyes lit up. They knew that what He Yuzhu had done before was the same as what they had done. They had been passive, doing whatever their master told them to do.

But He Yuzhu was different; he took the initiative and didn't have a mentor to give him special lessons.

He just watches his master cook when he has nothing to do, and He Yuzhu is very tolerant of these people now.

He Yuzhu would answer all his questions without reservation.

If you can't improve your own abilities even in this way, then it only proves that you are stupid.

He Yuzhu didn't know what these people were thinking. If he did, he would definitely say:

Comrade, you're overthinking it. Even if you were in the same boat as me, without any external help, you wouldn't be able to improve as quickly as me.

It looks easy, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Otherwise, it would have taken Tian Zehua decades to become a master, and he would still be respected by so many people, precisely because Tian Zehua still had the opportunity to reach the grandmaster level.

After all, not every chef can become a master. There are millions of chefs in this country, but only a handful are master chefs.

Not to mention the Grandmaster level, which is even rarer.

However, this had nothing to do with He Yuzhu, who was now finally starting to increase his proficiency.

Beautiful sounds kept echoing in He Yuzhu's mind.

Others might find the sound noisy, but He Yuzhu really liked it.

Moreover, this voice was very peculiar; it did not interfere with He Yuzhu's reception of external information and sounds at all, just like two completely independent voices.

External sounds are received through one's own ears, but this sound is received through the soul:

[Cooking Skills+]

【Guazhang+】

[Lifting and Leaping Technique+]

Tai Chi+

【Extreme Fist+】

[Cooking Skills+]

……

Listening to the beautiful sounds, He Yuzhu knew that these sounds were the source of his progress.

Moreover, having only been in this world for a short time, I have already mastered so many things that many people cannot control in their entire lives.

This is why He Yuzhu likes this.

Seeing that He Yuzhu has mastered culinary skills and is already a head chef, yet he still works so hard, everyone else is also working very hard.

He Yuzhu had just finished cutting and preparing the food in the kitchen.

At this moment, a waiter came over:

"Chef He, these are the dishes the head chef ordered today. Why don't you take charge of cooking them?"

He Yuzhu knew this was Manager Gu testing him, and everyone in the kitchen was watching He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu knew that whether he could earn this monthly salary of 1.6 million depended on this.

However, He Yuzhu showed no concern whatsoever, and instead nodded:

"Okay, leave it there, I'll make it right away!"

After saying that, he looked at the menu, started preparing the dishes according to the menu, and then began cooking.

Everyone watched He Yuzhu's movements, which were as smooth as flowing clouds, and every move was pleasing to the eye.

As the food simmered in the wok, its aroma became incredibly rich.

He Yuzhu knew he wasn't skilled enough; if only his culinary skills had reached the master level...

The aroma of this dish won't be released unless it's placed on the table.

However, there was no other way; He Yuzhu still needed a lot of practice before he could advance to the Grandmaster level.

However, my cooking skills are good enough for me now.

Soon, one dish after another was served.

After he finished, an apprentice immediately came over to help He Yuzhu clean up the kitchen utensils.

He Yuzhu used to do all these jobs. He got to where he is because of this, and others want to learn from him and see if they can become the next He Yuzhu...

Chapter 40: The Benevolent He Yuzhu

Seeing the kitchen helper's condition, He Yuzhu couldn't help but offer some advice, saying:

"Brother, you can't just start dealing with it like this."

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu, who explained:

Do you know the basic skills of a chef?

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, He Yuzhu continued:

"Knife skills are the most basic, and the basic skill for stir-frying is controlling the heat."

How do you control the heat?

I insisted on washing the pot before because I wanted to know the approximate temperature of the pot after the chef finished cooking.

This temperature is not for you to touch with your hands, or you'll burn yourself.

Instead, find a part of your body that is very sensitive to the task and place it at the same distance.

It shouldn't be too long or too short, then feel the temperature. After a while, you'll remember the temperature.

That way you can tell the temperature of the dish when it's done cooking.

Similarly, when stir-frying vegetables, remember the temperature at which you add oil, vegetables, and seasonings, and then memorize the order in which your chef adds seasonings.

You learned all of this secretly while you were working; otherwise, your master wouldn't have told you where you were going.

This is something you need to understand. If you understand it, then you understand it; if you don't understand it, then keep trying to understand it.

As the old saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

Once we enter the kitchen, we've entered this gate. As for how you cultivate yourself, that's up to you.

You should know that these tasks were not assigned to us by our master to make things difficult for us.

Rather, it is to test and train us, so that we can find something to learn in these tasks.

So how can our progress be slow?

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Tian Zehua walked over and said with great appreciation:

"well said!"

When everyone saw Tian Zehua arrive, He Yuzhu respectfully said:

"Master!"

Tian Zehua hadn't expected that He Yuzhu's cooking skills surpassed his own, and that he would be so respectful to him.

After all, Tian Zehua has not truly taught He Yuzhu yet; He Yuzhu's current strength is entirely due to his own talent.

Moreover, I tasted the dishes He Yuzhu made today, and they were indeed better than what I could make myself.

Moreover, he didn't even know how to handle many of the situations, which is why he came to take a look, only to hear He Yuzhu say such a thing.

The reason why He Yuzhu was so respectful to Tian Zehua was, firstly, that Tian Zehua genuinely cared for him and helped him.

He had no selfish motives whatsoever. Secondly, without Tian Zehua's help, He Yuzhu really didn't know how he would survive in this world.

After all, although he has a cheat code, firstly, he is old, secondly, his space cannot grow things or create things out of thin air, and thirdly, his skills require a lot of practice.

Tian Zehua's help was absolutely invaluable at that time, so no matter what, He Yuzhu would always acknowledge him as his master.

As for Tian Zehua's other thoughts, He Yuzhu neither knew nor wanted to know.

After all, he had never bullied or schemed against He Yuzhu. So far, he had always been kind to He Yuzhu and had never plotted against him.

Therefore, He Yuzhu deeply respects his master.

Tian Zehua waved his hand:

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills have already surpassed mine, you don't need to do this!"

He Yuzhu said respectfully:
