"First Uncle." He Yuzhu said solemnly.
"First of all, I don't have any special relationship with Qin Huiru, and there's no such thing as a quarrel between us.”
"Secondly, she's a widow and I'm single. It'll never be possible between us.”
"Finally, I have to go to work."
Hearing He Yuzhu's decisive tone, First Uncle knew that he was serious. He did not say anything else and continued to sigh."Qin Huairu's family is in trouble. As neighbors, we should help if we can.”
Seeing He Yuzhu's expressionless face, the first uncle shook his head and walked out with his hands behind his back.
He Yuzhu, who never locked the door, locked it today. Then, she strode toward the steel factory.
As He Yuzhu had just come up with some recipes at home, he walked straight to the cafeteria.
When He Yuzhu came to the kitchen, his disciples Ma Hua and Liu Lan were preparing ingredients for lunch. Seeing He Yuzhu walk in, Ma Hua hurriedly went up to greet him,""Master, you're here."
"Yes." He Yuzhu nodded and agreed.
His disciple Ma Hua respectfully handed He Yuzhu a cup of tea that he had prepared beforehand, and also enthusiastically handed over a sleeve.
Ma Hua sat back down at the basin and continued to pick vegetables.
Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Hua Ma's enthusiastic gesture and said,""You're serving him so quickly. I didn't see what kind of craftsmanship He Yuzhu taught you.”
"You know nothing!" Ma Hua retorted.
"Master is training me."
"Training? Why can't I tell?" Liu Lan's mouth was wide open again.
"What else does he know besides stewing chicken and copying?”
Ma Hua and Liu Lan didn't speak loudly, but He Yuzhu heard them clearly. He slammed the ceramic cup on the table.
The two of them were shocked by the sudden voice and turned to look at He Yuzhu.
"Ma Hua, prepare the dishes!"
Ma Hua quickly waved his hand and replied loudly,""Alright!"
Since it was not yet time for dinner, Master Yang, who was washing the stove at the side, saw that He Yuzhu had already put on an apron. He knew that He Yuzhu was going to officially show off today.
"Master He, please slow down. Old Yang also wants to learn from you.”
"Master Yang is too polite. We can learn from each other.”He Yuzhu replied and started to boil the oil.
The people in the canteen also gathered around. After all, a master taught his disciple without any taboo. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they could learn a little, they could have another skill in the future.
"Excuse me, excuse me." After a while, Ma Hua came over with a bowl of cut tofu.
"Master, your dishes are here."
"Disciple, you have to watch out for me today. Master will teach you how to make authentic Mapo Tofu!”
He Yuzhu casually poured the tofu in the basin into the pot and boiled it with hot water and salt for about three to four minutes before draining it.
Then, he heated the oil pot again, added pepper, garlic, dried chili, bean paste, and soy sauce.
After stirring the spoon for two or three times, a thick fragrance assailed his nose.
His skillful movements made the surrounding onlookers dumbfounded.
He Yuzhu said to Ma Hua while cooking,""Cooking is the same as being a human. You can only understand and not talk about it. Everything depends on your own understanding.”
It seemed like he was teaching Hua Ma how to cook, but in fact, he was teaching Hua Ma how to be a person.
As he spoke, He Yuzhu poured the minced meat that he had specially purchased for the workers in the afternoon into the pot. After stir-frying the meat until it was cooked, he sprinkled a little white sugar on it. Finally, he poured the tofu that had been drained beforehand into the pot. The pot churned like waves, and the white tofu was covered in a reddish-brown coat.
As the last handful of chopped green onions was sprinkled, He Yuzhu placed the spoon into the pot, flipped it over, and took it out of the pot.
When He Yuzhu scooped the Mapo Tofu into a large plate with a spatula, he looked up and saw that Master Yang had already picked up the chopsticks and was ready to taste it.
"Don't just stand there. Everyone, please have a taste.”
As soon as He Yuzhu spoke, everyone hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and began a food fight.
Master Yang gently picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks. The fragrance of the tofu rushed into his nose along with the stimulation of pepper and chili. After entering his mouth, the fresh, spicy, and delicate taste of steamed eggs instantly ignited his taste buds.
A Sichuan dish, Mapo Tofu.
At this moment, Master Yang was completely convinced. Why was the difference so huge?
Master Yang gave a thumbs up and said,"Master He, I'm impressed!"
"You're welcome." He Yuzhu quickly replied.
"Since it's already cooked today, I'll take care of all the dishes today!”
He Yuzhu's heroic words instantly caused the kitchen to cheer.
Everyone wished that He Yuzhu could do this every day so that they could learn more.
"Prepare the dishes!"
With He Yuzhu's order, the entire kitchen immediately became lively. The pots and pans collided like a symphony.
Everyone worked hard and felt very happy. After all, not only were there white steamed buns to eat today, but Master He was also cooking personally.
The Mapo Tofu was still savoring in their mouths.
......
At noon, the cafeteria opened on time.
The workers dragged their tired bodies into the canteen. In this era, there was basically no machinery. All the processes were purely manual and man-made.
Therefore, in order to take care of these hard-working workers, the factory would provide them with a meal of white flour buns from time to time. Occasionally, they would also give the workers meat. It was a little expensive, but who would complain that there was not enough? After all, they did not eat these every day.
When the workers heard that there would be big steamed buns with white flour to eat today, they also lined up early.
"Today's food smells so good!”The fragrance filled the entire cafeteria.
"That's right. My internal organs are about to explode from the smell!”
"Is there a new chef in our canteen?”
?......
The workers who had prepared the food quickly sat down. When they saw the box of fragrant vegetables, they were shocked.
"Is this tofu?"
"This tofu, this tofu is too delicious!”
"No! This vinegar cabbage is even more delicious!"
"Nonsense, it's obviously the stewed potatoes that are delicious!”
As He Yuzhu's culinary skills shocked the entire steel factory canteen, the only sound that could be heard in the canteen was the sound of chewing and the sound of running towards the window with lunch boxes.
The workers who heard the news also began to spread the news. As a result, more and more people lined up outside the canteen. When Manager Yang came downstairs, he was also stunned by the long line in front of him.
"Although we arranged meat today, there's no need to line up like this, right?”
