Chapter 31: Parting and Sadness

After the stupid pillar knocked on the door, it was Wenren Muxue's sister Wenren Mingxue who opened the door, "Master He, you are here, please come in, what you said is ready, I will take you to the kitchen now" After speaking, he walked to the cafeteria with the stupid pillar

The kitchen is very clean and the interior furnishings and decoration of the house have a cultural atmosphere, thinking that the owner should be a cultural family, at this time Mu Xue heard the movement and came to the kitchen

"Deng... Master He, you are here, I will give you a hand today, but how do the dishes you cook taste so good, is there any secret" Looking at the little girl in front of him, the stupid pillar was also inexplicably a little happy in his heart

"Hello Wenren girl, I've been learning to cook for more than ten years, if the taste is still average, you don't have to do this business, as for the secret you said or something, I don't have it here, I also think of it as a family heirloom, my grandfather and father are cooks"

Listening to the other party's explanation, Wen Ren Mu Xue felt that he was reluctant to tell himself the secret, but this was also a secret of others, and it was normal not to tell himself

"Is that old man in your family your grandfather, I don't think he looks like you at all, and the old man is very knowledgeable, and no one I know can compare"

Hearing the other party mention the old Taoist priest, the stupid pillar was also a little heavy in his heart, "No, he is my master, my master was well-informed in the early years, and he knew a little about everything."

"Ah, he's your master, is he also a cook? I didn't see it at all" Wen Ren Mu Xue was also a little surprised to hear that the old Taoist priest was the master of the stupid pillar, in his opinion, how could the old Taoist priest's temperament and insight be a cook

"Haha, my master is not a cook, he is a doctor, my master can eat but not cook, Wen Ren Muxue was stunned when he heard the words of the stupid pillar, and his brain couldn't react, doctor? Cook? How can two professions that are not related to each other be masters and apprentices?

"Your master is a doctor, so can you also heal?"

"Some, but not proficient" Silly Zhu said modestly, Silly Zhu himself does not think that his medical skills are very good, but the old Taoist priest thinks that Silly Zhu's medical skills can already be out of time, but still need to learn, Silly Zhu also found that since he began to cultivate too pure, the whole person's state and memory have become very good, he used to sleep five or six hours a day and would be sleepy during the day, but now he sleeps 5 hours a day and is very energetic during the day, and the whole person's spirit is very full and the state is also very good, he used to be able to play 3 Xu Damao, Now you can fight seven or eight of them, and it's still the kind that doesn't hurt

However, Silly Zhu did not have a problem with Taoism, this is also a problem that the old Taoist priest has explained from the beginning, and the old Taoist priest has felt more and more strongly in recent years, and he may liquidate these people in the future, including strange people like them.

Looking at the five big and three thick chefs in front of him, Mu Xue felt that the whole person had been subverted for many years, and you didn't learn cooking skills well, but you went to learn medical skills

The chat with this little girl made Silly Zhu very happy, and when he cooked, he was much happier than usual, and he gradually got to know each other from the contact between the two. Silly Zhu also knows that the person in front of him is the same age as him and has just gone to college, which makes Silly Zhu very envious, Silly Zhu himself has not continued to go to school after elementary school, because Father He thinks that Silly Zhu is destined to be a cook, no matter how high the culture is, it is not necessary for a chef, Silly Zhu has always had an inferiority complex in his heart, and Xu Damao often laughs at Silly Zhu from this point. This is also the reason why Silly Zhu has always insisted on letting Yushui study, he has suffered from being uneducated, and his sister can't be the same as himself

Wenren Muxue also saw from the chat that this chef is not the same as what he knows, that kind of conversation and temperament does not look like a cook, especially his knowledge is much better than his own, and he lives with his sister at the age of 18 like himself this year, which also makes Wenren Muxue admire this kind of person very much, since he was a child, his father ran away a few years ago, and he raised his sister alone

As the dishes needed for the two of them chatting and banquet were slowly coming out of the pot, Wen Ren Mingxue came in and saw that the two were chatting so happily and were a little reluctant to disturb, but today's grandfather's birthday banquet was a big event, so he walked into the kitchen.

"Master He, is the dish ready? Okay, Mu Xue and I will go out first" Wenren Mingxue didn't think that there would be any intersection between the two in the future, her family and her sister were destined to live much higher than ordinary people in college, even if Silly Zhu's cooking skills were very good

Watching the two sisters walk out of the kitchen with the dishes that had been prepared, Silly Zhu didn't mind. On the side of Wenren Muxue's family, there are 2 tables in the middle of the main hall, each table is about seven or eight people, one of the tables is a group of elderly people, the main seat is sitting a man and a woman, although the man has white hair, but his face is ruddy, and the mother is also a white hair, but it also looks graceful and luxurious

Although the dinner table was a little serious, it also seemed very harmonious, and then the old man on the main seat spoke: "The old man is 65th birthday today, thank you relatives and friends for coming to celebrate my birthday, I won't say anything more, let's have a banquet everyone", after speaking, a middle-aged man at the main table raised his glass

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's raise a glass to wish my father good fortune as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan"

After everyone congratulated everyone in unison, everyone began to move chopsticks, when the old man tasted the taste, he was also surprised, and then asked in a low voice who the son next to him was who came in and invited the master, the old man's son didn't know, just said that it was invited by Mu Xue, but he didn't expect the taste to be so good, and then asked his father if he wanted to call Mu Xue over to ask, and when his father clicked, he also got up and came to the table where he heard Mu Xue

"Mu Xue, your grandfather asked you to come over"

"Okay uncle" Mu Xue didn't ask her anything when she heard her uncle's words, and followed her directly to her grandfather

"Grandpa, what are you looking for me" Wen Ren Mu Xue stood next to the old man

"Mu Xue, which master is in charge today, BJ Hotel or State Guesthouse, or which master of the Eighth Building or private cuisine?"

Wen Ren Mu Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard her grandfather's words, "Grandpa, you guessed wrong, you can't think of the identity of this master I invited."

Hearing his granddaughter say this, the old man was even more curious, and almost all the famous masters in Sijiu City knew about it. At this time, Mu Xue's uncle also spoke: "Mu Xue, don't tease your grandfather, hurry up and tell the old man."

Seeing that her uncle spoke, Mu Xue was no longer dumbfounded, "Grandpa, the master I invited is the chef of the rolling mill."

Everyone here is even more surprised to hear this, everyone knows about the rolling mill, but such a good master is actually in the rolling mill, so everyone can't figure it out, and the master who knows the skill is unwilling to enter the factory, one is that the factory needs to fry the big pot of dishes, this thing has no technical content, and the other is that the factory has no way to carry out the skill assessment of senior chefs, and the salary is not as high as the restaurant

"Mu Xue, when the meeting is over, bring this master over to see what kind of strange person this is", Mu Xue's grandfather said at this time

"Okay, grandpa, I'll bring him over later," Wen Ren Mu Xue nodded

In the kitchen, the stupid pillar rested on the chair after cooking a few Huaiyang dishes, he didn't care about eating, and he was a little tired after making more than a dozen dishes in a row, but now it is much better than before, if it was this intensity before, the stupid pillar would have been tired on the table

Silly Zhu had just finished smoking and was about to pick up his chopsticks and was about to take a bite of food when he saw Wen Ren Mu Xue walking in

"Master He, can you go to the living room with me? My grandfather wants to see you" Silly Zhu didn't think much about it when he heard the owner see each other, and directly got up and followed Wenren Muxue to the living room

The people waiting in the living room saw that their cousin brought a young man about 20 years old, and they were also a little curious, how did the apprentice come if the master didn't come, but the quality of the person present was not bad, and the grandfather who heard Mu Xue here was also a little curious when he saw a young man coming, isn't it that this master doesn't want to see him, so he let the apprentice come and send me

"Grandpa, the master in charge of the spoon is here, this is Master He", everyone was also surprised when they heard the voice of Wen Ren Mu Xue, is this kid cooking? How could it be, Mu Xue's father spoke first

"Mu Xue, don't be joking, let that chef come out" Some of the people present are not suitable to say, including the head of the Lin family, Mu Xue's grandfather

"Dad, this is the master I invited, Chef He Yuzhu He", everyone immediately believed a little when they heard Wenren Muxue's words, but Wenren Muxue's grandfather still said:

"I can't believe it, it's really a young hero, I don't know how many years you have been studying cooking, who you learned"

Silly Zhu heard the conversation of the Wen family, and the people who wanted to come to the owner saw that he was too young to believe in his cooking skills, but Silly Zhu was also used to it, and when he heard the old man's words, he looked over, and this old man seemed to be the protagonist of today

"The younger generation is a family handicraft, I began to learn art with my father since I was a child, but later apprenticed to Wu Chang'an of Emei Hotel to learn Sichuan cuisine, my father He Daqing was proficient in Lu cuisine Tan family cuisine, my father worked in the rolling mill in the early years, and later went to the field I took my father's class"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the old man nodded, no wonder the craft could have been learned since childhood. Then the old man toasted a glass of wine and asked Wenren Mu Xue to lead him out

"He Yuzhu, I didn't find you, 18 years old, I've been studying cooking for more than ten years, I can't see it," Wen Ren Mu Xue said slightly mischievously

"This kind of thing is said when I see someone, then I have to be shameless" Silly Zhu looked at the beauty in front of him speechlessly.

"However, comrade, can you let me eat first, I have been busy for several hours but I have not eaten a drop of water, and I am now protesting in my stomach"

Wenren Muxue couldn't help but laugh when she heard Silly Zhu's words, I don't know why Wenren Muxue now thinks this little chef is very interesting. Silly Zhu also looked at the woman opposite who was laughing at him, and he was speechless, what was so funny

Then the two came to the kitchen, and the silly pillar saw that Mu Xue didn't mean to leave, and he didn't care about him, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, the two chatted while eating, and soon the Wenren Mu Xue knew that the chef in front of him had the title of a stupid pillar

"Why are you called Silly Zhu, isn't this a curse" Wenren Mu Xue was very curious about why there was the title of stupid

"This is my father's start, I was 10 years old and didn't enter the Emei Hotel as an apprentice, at that time I happened to be injured and entered the city, I was selling steamed buns, but they wanted to rob me of my buns, then I definitely didn't want to, I picked up the buns and ran, I ran in front, they chased behind"

"What happened later?"

"Don't worry, I ran several alleys and finally got rid of those wounded soldiers, but at this time a man in black clothes said that he wanted to buy all my buns, I thought that there was such a good thing, so I sold all the buns, but when I took the money home, my father borrowed money to see that it was all home, and he shouted at the time You are a stupid pillar, and since then the title of stupid pillar has been shouted out"

"You're really interesting, isn't that bun more important than your life, and you're not afraid that they will shoot you"

"Hey! Wouldn't that be small? I haven't thought about this, I just think that the buns are my family's meal money today, and I can't let others snatch them", Silly Zhu thought to himself, you think that everyone has the same food and drink as your family

"Then I'll call you stupid in the future, I'm not scolding you, don't get me wrong" Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the little chef in front of her with a smile, chatting with this chef made her feel different from others

"Of course no problem, I don't care much about the title, maybe you think the stupid pillar is scolding, and indeed this title is also a little insulting, but I've been used to it for so many years, and sometimes I don't like it when I suddenly hear others call me Master He, He Yuzhu."

"Actually, I also envy you college students, cultural people become officials as soon as they graduate. That's the same as us, after working hard, we are still working hard for life", Silly Zhu involuntarily said his inner desire

"How can it be as good as you say, going to college is not pie in the sky, this is also the result of more than ten years of hard study"

The two of them chatted in the kitchen with or without a match, and when Silly Zhu finished eating, Mu Xue also helped Silly Zhu clean up the kitchen together, and Silly Zhu didn't expect that the eldest lady in front of him was not clumsy

"Yes, Comrade Wenren, I didn't expect you to be a good hand at housework"

"Don't underestimate me, my family life was not good when I was a child, and my sister and I had to cook and wash our own clothes"

After cleaning up the kitchen, Silly Zhu said goodbye, and Wen Ren Muxue sent Silly Zhu to the door and handed over 100,000 yuan, "Silly Pillar, this is your hard work today." However, what she didn't expect was that Silly Zhu didn't take the money

"I had a very happy chat with you today, we can be regarded as friends, forget the money, in the future, if your relatives and friends need to cook, you can introduce them to me, and this money will be your labor fee", Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the stupid pillar and nodded to indicate that she agreed

In the next few days, the National Day, the day of the National Day was celebrated all over the world, the military parade and parade in front of Tiananmen Square, the whole square was very lively, and the silly pillar also took his sister to go shopping, but there were too many people, and no one crowded or came back early

On the third day of the National Day, the old Taoist priest went out and returned home at 4 o'clock, but as usual, he changed into a Taoist robe and put on a Taoist crown, sat cross-legged at the offering table, and recited the portrait of the ancestor of this sect

"Pillar, come here"

Silly Zhu suddenly heard Master's words and hurriedly stepped forward

"Pillar, Master is now full of merit and is about to leave"

Silly Zhu's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard his master's words, and tears instantly filled his cheeks like flowing water, Silly Zhu knew that his master would be up to time in the past few days, but he never expected it to be so soon, and suddenly heard this sentence and his heart was full of confusion, death was once so far away from him, but now it is by his side

"Master, I... I" Silly Zhu knelt in front of the Master, holding Master's legs with both hands. It's so fast, so fast that everything is like going back to the news that I just learned about He Daqing's run away two years ago

"Pillar, don't be a child, Master still has something to explain, my time is running out, you remember, no matter who comes after I go, don't give my body to anyone, cremate me, and when you have the opportunity in the future, scatter my ashes in the rivers and mountains, you have to practice the pure heart trick diligently, don't waste it." This letter is left to you by me, remember that it must not be opened until you get married, Master, I have no regrets in this life, I am very glad to have an apprentice like you" After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, but this closed eye never opened again

Silly Zhu saw that the master stopped his heartbeat and suddenly grief came from his heart, although the master and apprentice have only been more than 1 year, but the master has always been sincere to what he has taught him, and he also cares more about himself, and the father's love that he once lacked was also aroused by the master from the heart, but before he could honor the master, the master passed away
