Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

57

After writing down the menu, Wu Baotian patted his apprentice on the shoulder: "Today, the stove is in your hands. Do your best."

After finishing all the dishes, He Yuzhu could finally take a breather.

He sat by the stove, tasted the food he had made, and felt that his cooking skills in this life were far superior to what he had learned at New Oriental in his previous life.

After all, now that he is learning from a master of Shandong cuisine, coupled with the natural talent of this body and the help of the Enlightenment Stone, he is naturally incomparable to his previous life.

After Wu Jiarui's full moon celebration ended, He Daqing stayed behind specifically to talk to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, the dishes today are very good. They did not disappoint your master's years of training."

However, you must not be complacent and must continue to work hard to improve your cooking skills.

When you have time, go back and check on Yushui; that girl always talks about you, her brother.

During dinner, He Yuzhu noticed that Wu Xiangxiu was absentmindedly picking at the rice in her bowl, so he nudged Wu Youyi, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Sister Xiangxiu, what's wrong? You were fine at noon."

Before Wu Youyi could answer, Wu Xiangyun chimed in, "Sister is thinking about the older brother who came to lunch!" Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized—it turned out that Sister Xiangxiu had someone she liked.

The 19-year-old girl's marriage had been delayed due to the chaos of the war, but now that the city is at peace, it seems her master's family will soon be celebrating a happy occasion.

Wu Xiangxiu blushed with embarrassment, put down her chopsticks, turned around and hid back in her room.

He Yuzhu leaned close to his master, Wu Baotian, and whispered, "Master, which family's young man has Sister Xiangxiu taken a liking to?"

"He is also a chef, with Sichuan cuisine skills passed down from his family."

The young man was a year older than Xiangxiu. His father brought him here today, hoping that the two children could meet each other.

Unexpectedly, the two children hit it off. Before leaving, the father said that he would send a matchmaker to propose marriage in a few days.

Between 1949 and 1950, although the new currency had completely replaced the gold yuan, the currency continued to depreciate because the fighting in the south had not yet subsided.

Another labor dispute erupted at Fengzeyuan. The owner, Luan Xuetang, took a very tough stance, and the two sides remained deadlocked, failing to reach an agreement.

"Master, will this end up in court again?" Seeing the panic in the restaurant, He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask.

Wu Baotian glared at him: "Just do what you're supposed to do! If the sky falls, your master will hold it up; you don't need to worry about it."

"I just saw everyone talking about it, and I got a little curious..."

"Stop asking about this useless stuff!"

"This matter will be resolved sooner or later. The South has not been fully liberated yet, and the Workers' and Peasants' Party cannot attend to matters here for the time being."

Once the country is unified, they will definitely handle these labor disputes.

He Yuzhu felt that his master, Wu Baotian, had a very clear understanding of things.

He came from the modern era and knew that later, with the implementation of joint public-private ownership, the restaurant workers would become state employees, and the workers would ultimately be the victors.

In the summer of 1950, the weather grew increasingly hot.

As the southern provinces were liberated one after another, and the Workers' and Peasants' Party was preparing to concentrate its efforts on liberating Taiwan, President Alicia suddenly ordered the Seventh Fleet to enter the Taiwan Strait in an attempt to obstruct the liberation of Taiwan.

This move thoroughly enraged the people of the whole country.
