Chapter 7 Qin Huairu's Secret
Jia Dongxu later told her that the house issue was temporarily out of the question. Qin Huairu, however, comforted Jia Dongxu, saying that she didn't care about such things.
However, in private, Qin Huairu already felt that Jia Dongxu was somewhat unreliable, and even that Yi Zhonghai, that old lecher, was no good either.
He came to her house and seduced her, promising her a future. But after sleeping with her, he turned around and married her off to his apprentice.
Qin Huairu was naturally unhappy about becoming her apprentice's wife instead of her master's wife. She didn't mind his age, yet he dared to deceive her. Of course, if he hadn't later promised her benefits, Qin Huairu certainly wouldn't have let Yi Zhonghai off so easily.
Yi Zhonghai privately compensated her with one million yuan before Qin Huairu agreed to temporarily not pursue the matter.
Qin Huairu didn't budge, asking him to find a solution for her. She, a young woman of noble birth, couldn't just marry someone else without any clear explanation.
This is also why Yi Zhonghai insisted on marrying Qin Huairu to Jia Dongxu.
On one hand, he was afraid that Qin Huairu would sue him, and on the other hand, he felt that she was his woman.
Qin Huairu gave him her first time, and his woman will definitely not mistreat him when he gets old.
Choosing Jia Dongxu as his caretaker meant that his wife would have to be vetted by Yi Zhonghai; anyone who was unfilial would definitely not allow her to marry Jia Dongxu.
This is especially important for elder care. The fact that Yi Zhonghai chose Jia Dongxu to be his elder care provider means that everything about Jia Dongxu is under Yi Zhonghai's control.
Yi Zhonghai never felt that Qin Huairu would hate him. In his mind, marrying Qin Huairu into the courtyard house was an act of kindness.
With his help, the Jia family will definitely be doing well. If I also regularly give Qin Huairu some money, she would be considered unfilial and heartless if she wasn't grateful.
As for having a relationship with Qin Huairu, that's nothing. That's how their relationship deepens; otherwise, why would an ordinary apprentice's wife be so grateful to him?
On her wedding night, Qin Huairu deliberately pretended it was her first time. At the crucial moment, she popped her clitoris and released chicken blood down there. She had learned this method from an older woman in the village, for which she gave the woman 50,000 yuan as a reward, asking her to keep it a secret.
The next day, Qin Huairu deliberately took the blood-stained sheets outside and washed them in front of everyone, as a symbol of her chastity.
Even a shrewd person like Jia Zhangshi didn't notice anything amiss.
Jia Dongxu was an honest man, and he was secretly pleased that he had married a beautiful and virtuous wife.
Madam Jia has completely stopped pretending. Before, she had to serve her son from time to time. Now that she has a daughter-in-law, she feels she has fulfilled her duty.
Jia Zhangshi planned to start retiring now, as all of her son's future wages would be hers. Her daughter-in-law would take care of her meals, do her laundry, and wash her bedsheets.
Jia Zhangshi was living a very comfortable life. She was already overweight, and now she was starting to get bigger like a balloon.
In the story, Jia Zhangshi is stronger than the others, and some people say that this was intentional by the screenwriter, as it is a way of indirectly depicting the good life of the Jia family.
Actually, if you don't do any work and just eat your fill every day, you really will gain weight.
He Yushui only saw Qin Huairu's beauty, while He Yuzhu knew from the moment he saw Qin Huairu yesterday that she was not a good match.
She exuded a captivating charm that set her apart from the stereotypical image of a virtuous village girl. Of course, for the wicked He Yuzhu, this was quite desirable.
Sha Zhu sees Qin Huairu as a wonderful person, but He Yuzhu doesn't view her as a pristine, unattainable ideal.
Perhaps it was because He Yuzhu had met too many women in the future that he could tell at a glance that Qin Huairu had lost her virginity.
He Yuzhu, who was familiar with the plot, began to suspect that Yi Zhonghai had taken the other man's first time.
This is also what many people find reasonable; otherwise, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have placed his hopes for retirement on Qin Huairu from beginning to end.
Even though Jia Dongxu got into trouble later, and the Jia family's four-person financial mess was so deep, Yi Zhonghai just wouldn't change his ways, just wouldn't give up.
When it comes to truly retiring, one should naturally take the opportunity to abandon the Jia family, but Yi Zhonghai seems to be obsessed. Everyone fears the Jia family, yet Yi Zhonghai has never given up on them. On the contrary, he schemes in every way to make Sha Zhu help the Jia family, even going so far as to make him die without an heir.
Rather than saying Jia Dongxu was Qin Huairu's husband, it would be more accurate to say that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were truly in love.
Qin Huairu greeted He Yuzhu as soon as he came out of the house in the morning.
"Hello, I'm Qin Huairu, and you're He Yuzhu. I'll call you Zhuzi from now on, but you can call me Sister Qin."
Qin Huairu said to He Yuzhu with a sincere expression, "If you don't know the other party's character, you might really be fooled."
The key point is that now, all the men in the courtyard, from Yi Zhonghai to the young Yan Jiefang, have developed feelings for this beautiful woman.
Qin Huairu can be considered the first generation of succubus in the Siheyuan (courtyard house). The story officially entered a new chapter after she married into the Siheyuan.
A series of short stories unfold around this charming widow, in the steel mill, and in the courtyard.
When the other party gave birth to their son, Banggeng, the invincible Thief Saint from all the heavens and myriad realms emerged, the courtyard was thrown into chaos by demons.
"Hello, Sister-in-law Jia."
"Zhu Zi, didn't I tell you to call me Sister Qin?"
"Okay, Sister Jia. I have to go to work. We'll talk later."
After finishing speaking, He Yuzhu pushed the cart away without waiting for a reply.
Qin Huairu stood there, watching He Yuzhu's hurried departure with a sense of resentment.
When she looked up, she saw Jia Zhangshi's large, 48-inch face staring at her menacingly through the window.
Qin Huairu was startled and hurriedly went back inside.
"I'm telling you, Qin Huairu, if you dare to cheat on my son, I'll beat you to death, you slut."
From the first time she met Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi was very dissatisfied with her. She was also a woman, and seeing Qin Huairu made her feel that her son probably wouldn't be able to stay with her.
Originally, the family planned to add a small bed behind the living room, but Jia Zhangshi changed her mind. She wanted to supervise her son, fearing he wouldn't take good care of himself.
"Mom, what are you saying? I just think that since our neighbor lives across the street, I want to get closer to him."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Now that you've married into our Jia family, you should learn how to be a good wife and mother."
Qin Huairu pouted, not wanting to pay any attention to this wicked mother-in-law.
I'll put up a secret signal on the windowsill before I go out; I plan to settle accounts with Yi Zhonghai in the cellar tonight.
He said it was for her own good, to introduce her to a good family. But what good family? The day after the wedding, she was called a slut by her mother-in-law.
When He Yuzhu arrived at Fengzeyuan, his master Wang Defa called him over to inquire about his family situation.
"It's nothing. I'm just renovating my house recently. Anyway, He Daqing left me some money when he left, so I'm preparing in advance so it won't be a problem when I get married."
"Okay, if it's inconvenient for you to have the money, just tell your master."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
"Go ahead, I heard from the manager that you'll be assigned to the second kitchen after the New Year. You're progressing too fast right now. Calm down, in our cooking line, skills are honed through years of practice."
"Yes, Master, I understand."
He Yuzhu certainly knew this. Cooking skills are divided into ingredient processing, knife skills, cooking temperature control, and finally, the secret recipe.
Ingredient preparation is self-explanatory; as long as you are knowledgeable and know how to combine ingredients, you'll be fine.
Knife skills are quite demanding, especially when making Wensi tofu, where a block of soft tofu is cut into strands as thin as a hair.
Controlling the heat means knowing how to toss the pan, when to use high heat, and when to use low heat.
Finally, there's the secret recipe, which is the foundation of every culinary skill.
He Daqing is a master of Shandong cuisine and Tan family cuisine. He Yuzhu learned the secret recipes of these two cuisines from He Daqing since he was a child.
Master Wang Defa's Sichuan cuisine recipes have now been passed down to him.
Dishes made without a secret recipe can't compare to those made by chefs with secret recipes; that's one of the benefits of having a mentor.
Recently, He Yuzhu encouraged his mentor, Wang Defa, to contact chefs from other large restaurants to establish a chefs' association.
Once a chefs' association is established in the capital, chefs can be given a grading exam.
Did He Yuzhu consider the future during his time-travel?
With the resources produced by the space, he is most likely not short of money.
However, thinking about the future, he felt that for safety reasons, it would be better to stay in the steel rolling mill.
After all, he was familiar with the people and things there. Relying on the prophet could guarantee his safety before the reform and opening up.
If you want to get into a steel rolling mill, you definitely can't be like Sha Zhu and become an apprentice there.
I should first pass the certification exam to become a head chef, and then find a way to get into the steel rolling mill.
Then he could directly become the head chef of the steel mill canteen, with a superior status and a high salary.
Sha Zhu often says that it's 37.5 yuan, but his actual salary is 35 yuan, with 2.5 yuan being the squad leader's allowance.
He Yuzhu now works in Sanzao, earning 400,000 yuan a month.
Becoming a second-level chef immediately would cost 600,000, which, according to culinary skill classification, would be equivalent to a third-level chef.
He Yuzhu plans to take exams in both Sichuan and Shandong cuisine, and once he obtains dual Level 3 culinary certifications, he'll be invited to meals wherever he goes.
It's just that he's too young right now, otherwise He Yuzhu could try to break through to level two.
A top-level chef is basically someone like Master Wang Defa, the head chef of a major restaurant.
He Yuzhu's culinary skills are only lacking in time and experience compared to his master. In any case, as long as the customers don't specifically request it, He Yuzhu has already taken over making Sichuan dishes for his master.
Fortunately, He Yuzhu was Wang Defa's last disciple; otherwise, he could have taken Wang Defa's place now.
Of course, He Yuzhu would never do that. His master, Wang Defa, taught him step by step and even gave him the secret recipe. If he were to disobey his master, he would be cutting himself out of the culinary world.
When asked by others, He Yuzhu never revealed that he had mastered the secret recipe.
Everyone thought he was just cooking using a secret recipe that Wang Defa had prepared in advance.
Otherwise, the shopkeeper would probably think it's not worth it, since hiring a head chef would have been enough.
Master Wang Defa receives a fixed monthly salary of one million yuan, plus bonuses totaling several hundred thousand yuan.
No businessperson would be so wasteful.
When Master Wang Defa gave He Yuzhu the secret recipe, he was essentially handing over his own financial future to He Yuzhu as well.
Fortunately, He Yuzhu did not disappoint him. In fact, Wang Defa was also taking a gamble. If his apprentice turned his back on him, he would consider it an early retirement.
Wang Defa now has plenty of money, and both of his sons are married and have started their own families.
He also bought a courtyard house in a nearby alley. To put it bluntly, even if he retires now, he doesn't have to worry about making a living.
Regardless of whether his master Wang Defa tested him or not, He Yuzhu's attitude was that if you treat me with sincerity, I will repay you with utmost sincerity.
It was almost eight o'clock when He Yuzhu finished get off work and cleaned up the stove. He picked up a lunchbox and put it into his crossbody bag.
I went outside and set off on my bike.
