Back in the courtyard, He Yuzhu took out the duck rack that she had packed back in the afternoon. She was going to make a duck rack to cook cabbage. It was already time to get off work, and the people in the courtyard had also returned one after another.
He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen. She looked at him through the small window in the kitchen. She seemed to have put down her worries and was showing off her new clothes to her friends in the courtyard house!
At this moment, Aunt Liu, the matchmaker, walked into Jia Dongxu's house. Not long after, Jia Xudong's house burst into a commotion!
Jia Zhang-shi's unique voice rang out,
"What? That ugly woman still doesn't like my Xudong? Pah! My Xudong doesn't like him either. With her pig-like appearance, who would want her if she didn't have a fixed job!”
"Why are you still asking us for money to run errands for a marriage that hasn't been agreed upon? No, no, you think we orphans and widows are easy to bully, right? Go, go, go, get out of my house.”
Aunt Liu walked out of the house angrily. When she saw many neighbors standing outside to watch the show, she shouted,
"Everyone, you've been my matchmaker for so many years. This is the first time I've heard of someone relying on a matchmaker to run errands for money. Don't you know what kind of conditions your family has?”
"Not only is our son a third-class cripple, but he's also sick. Our family has to drag an old beggar like you who doesn't know how to help the family to guard such a lousy house.”
"Would people like someone with good conditions? Pah! Why don't you take a piss and take a look? I admit that I'm unlucky and don't want the money for running errands. I'll help you raise your name later. I'll see who will still marry your son!”
At this time, Jia Xudong, who had just returned to the courtyard after work, heard these words. He was also very angry with this stingy mother who only cared about the benefits in front of her.
However, she could not say anything bad about her mother in front of so many people. She could only shout at Auntie Liu,
"I don't need you to matchmake me.”
After saying that, she squeezed through the crowd and returned home. She slammed the door shut.
When everyone saw this, they dispersed. Seeing this, He Yuzhu called out to Auntie Liu, who was about to leave.
"Aunt Liu, wait a moment."
He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Liu, who was still angry just a moment ago. When she heard him call her, she put on a smile and walked over.
He Yuzhu told Aunt Liu about what happened in her house. She expressed that she didn't need Mr. and Mrs. Qin to come to the city to meet He Daqing.
He asked Aunt Liu to send a letter to Qin Huairu to get her to write the recommendation letter. He would wait for He Yuzhu to come and pick up the bride on the day after tomorrow!
Aunt Liu patted her chest and left the courtyard house.
Jia Dongxu's house
Jia Dongxu was angrily complaining to Jia Zhangshi,"
"Do you only need that fifty cents? How am I going to find someone to introduce me to in the future if I get this bad reputation for this fifty cents? With a bad reputation, which matchmaker would come? Can't you think for me?"
"Back then, I told you not to meet this ugly woman and to directly ask the matchmaker to go to Qin Huairu's house. You must be hoping that this ugly woman has a formal job to stop me, otherwise I would be engaged by now.”
When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, she immediately displayed her shrew nature, jumping up and down on Jia Xudong's heels and quarreling, scolding:
"What are you talking about, you little brat? Did I raise you for nothing? You're going to fall out with me for a country girl? Didn't you not object when you said you wanted to meet this girl from the city? Now that you've met her, you're not satisfied and you're blaming me?”
"Why don't you blame yourself for being incompetent? If you had the ability, would you still need me to spend money to find a matchmaker? There are already groups of big girls chasing after you.”
It was your fault! It's all your fault!
Jia Xudong was also very tough and started arguing with Jia Zhangshi!
He Yuzhu had finished cooking and asked him to bring it to the backyard to eat with the Deaf Old Lady. He planned to go to the restaurant to continue helping out in the kitchen and strive to master his culinary skills as soon as possible.
He went straight to the kitchen of the restaurant. He thought that he would get too little experience just by watching every day. He wondered if he could also cook. He Yuzhu went straight to Old Master Wu and said,
"Martial Uncle! I've been helping you in the kitchen for a few days. I was wondering if you could let me cook one for you to try. I'll buy this vegetable! I'll go to the front desk to get the bill myself!"
Old Master Wu stared at He Yuzhu for a while and sighed.
"You've only been in the kitchen for a few days and you're already impatient? According to the rules, an apprentice has to be qualified to cook for three years. However, you're not my apprentice and you're here with your skills.”
"Alright, since you've asked, as your Martial Uncle, give your father some face.”
He turned to his disciple, Little Seven, and said,"
"Little Seven, go to the counter and write a ticket. Tell them that I want to buy a serving of Kung Pao Chicken.”
Little Seven lowered her head and ran out. She quickly ran back and said,"
"Master is done."
Yes! Master Wu replied to He Yuzhu,
"Zhu Zi, you can stir-fry this Kung Pao Chicken.”
"Ding! Triggered the mission, Master Wu's Test. Master Wu's mission, Stir-fry a dish of Kung Pao Chicken, has been completed. Reward: Cooking Experience 300 RMB, 5 RMB in cash. Follow-up mission, received a good review from Master Wu, reward: Cooking Experience 600 RMB, 10 RMB in cash. Reward: Sichuan Cuisine Proficiency Skill (Proficient in all cooking methods of Sichuan Cuisine).
When He Yuzhu heard the system's mission notification, he took the frying spoon from Master Wu and walked to the stove.
At this moment, He Yuzhu's cooking skills had already reached the advanced level, so he was not afraid at all.
He scooped out the cut chicken drumstick with oil, left some oil in the pot, and added some seasonings to stir-fry the fragrance. Then, he added the side dishes and stir-fried them over high heat for a few times. Then, he poured in the diced chicken and the soup of the soul. He turned the fire to the maximum to collect the juice. A fragrant Kung Pao Chicken was ready.
He scooped it into the plate and carefully wiped the edge of the plate clean with a towel.
Ding! Mission completed. Reward: Cooking Skill Points 300 RMB in cash.
Uncle-Master, try it! He Yuzhu respectfully held the Kung Pao Chicken and said to Master Wu,
Master Wu looked at He Yuzhu, who was holding a plate, and walked over to pick up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What a genius! He had only been helping the kitchen for a few days!
Although He Yuzhu had his family's craftsmanship. However, He Daqing didn't know much about Sichuan Cuisine when it came to cooking Tan Family Cuisine. Now that he had tasted He Yuzhu's Kung Pao Chicken, it was completely authentic Sichuan Cuisine. It was no worse than his. It could even be said that it had surpassed him in some aspects.
Master Wu said to He Yuzhu in admiration,
"The younger generation is formidable! Zhu Zi, you were born to do this. After you finish your apprenticeship, you can come to my place to cook. In the future, you have to practice more and continue to hone your culinary skills.”
Ding! Mission completion reward: Cooking skill 600 cash, 10 yuan Sichuan Cuisine Proficiency (Proficient in all Sichuan Cuisine cooking methods)
Yes! He Yuzhu bowed respectfully to Master Wu.
He Yuzhu, who left the restaurant's kitchen at 7 p. m., looked at her cooking experience.
