The three of them thought about it, but it was Yu Congrong who broke the dull atmosphere.

"I don’t know if the company commander will bring us something delicious when he goes back to visit us......."

Lei Suisheng:"You are a foodie, you know how to eat every day."......"

He Yuzhu then remembered that Wu Qianli was visiting his family for vacation, and on the night he arrived home, he received an order from the Ninth Army Corps to assemble....

It is now October of the 1950s. According to time calculation, the United States has now made trouble in the northeast of Rabbit Country.

It's bad, I'm going to receive the order to assemble tonight.......

He Yuzhu thought to himself:"It's time to make some preparations, not only for myself, but also for Father Lei, Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, Pinghe, Wu Wanli who has never met before, and many brothers who have lived and died over the years......."...............................................................................

At this time, far away in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane, Sijiu City, He Daqing, who was resting at home, was playing with his little daughter He Yuyu.

While playing, Xiao Yuyu suddenly said:"Dad, do you think my brother has received the letter we wrote to him?"

He Daqing:"I should have received it, right?"......

Tell me about your brother, he is living a good life and has nothing to do to become a soldier! It makes me and my father on guard every day at home, fearing that one day......

Bah, bah, bah, what I said is all nonsense......."

While talking, He Daqing and He Yuyu also fell into missing He Yuzhu.

At this time, many people had moved into the courtyard house one after another since the founding of the People's Republic of China as the capital of Sijiu City.

But when it comes to the old households living in the courtyard, they include the He family who lives in the main room in the middle courtyard and two wing rooms, the Yi family of Yi Zhonghai who lives in the two wing rooms on the east side, the Xu family of Xu Wei and the Liu family of Liu Haizhong in the backyard. The lonely old lady, the deaf old lady, and the Yan family in the Yan study in the front yard.

The remaining tenants were introduced by middlemen and moved in bit by bit.

Except for the named families, the property rights of the rest of the houses in the yard are all owned by the old lady in the backyard. Even the Jia family, which the protagonist He Yuzhu has always been afraid of, pays the old lady annual rent.......

He Daqing of the He family is 36 years old this year. His ethnic group is Manchu. The He family is considered to be the last surviving member of the Qing Dynasty. His surname was formerly Hesheli, but later changed to the Han surname He.

In the past, He Yuzhu's great-grandfather He Futang and Tan Zongjun, the founder of Tanjia Cuisine, were officials in the same dynasty, and both of them were good at eating. Because of their common hobbies, the He family and the Tan family became family friends, and He Yuzhu's grandfather He Shan was also considered a family friend. I chose the right name because Ama Hefutang loves to eat. He has determined to be a chef since he was a child. After enlightenment, he did not read the Four Books and Five Classics and only read the recipes. When he was 7 years old, he even begged Ama Hefutang to help him. Kong Delin, the master of Shandong cuisine in the imperial dining room, accepted He Shan as his apprentice.

In addition to being a chef of Shandong cuisine, Kong Delin is also a direct descendant of Confucian cuisine. You must know that at that time, Tan cuisine had not yet gained a name. In addition to the palace cuisine of Manchu and Han banquets, the most popular official cuisine among the people was Confucian cuisine.

Kong Delin is a Han nationality. Although it has been more than three hundred years since the Manchus entered the Pass, many people from the Kong family still look down on these barbarians who came from outside the Pass.

But the form is stronger than the person, and He Shan really asked for advice, so Kong Delin agreed to accept him, but he also made an agreement with He Futang before accepting him. If He Shan is not the material, don't blame him for expelling him from the school. Harsh words.

He Futang naturally agreed happily!

As a Manchu and a current official in the capital, he still wants to save face. He loves to eat, and it tastes delicious, but that doesn’t mean he wants his son to be a cook!

But he is just such a son. If he doesn’t follow his whims and imitate other Eight Banner disciples, he will walk his dog with a hawk all day long, play with a pipe and a bird in a cage, and go to the brothels. His family will not be useless in this life. Yet!

In this way, He Shan became the apprentice of the palace chef Kong Delin. In addition, his talent was high enough, and his master Kong Delin also cherished talents. Many of his special skills were taught to He Shan. Even the dishes of the Kong family that were supposed to be kept secret. He broke the rules and gave all his coefficients to He Shan.

When Tan Zongjun founded Tanjia Cuisine, He Shan also played a big role in it. With the relationship between He Futang and the Tan family, He Shan would participate in the discussion and production of many Tanjia dishes.

In this way, He Shan blatantly copied all the techniques of Tan's cuisine.

Later, the Tan family was sent to Sichuan as officials, and the relationship between the He family and the Tan family was not broken.

In 1900, when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Sijiu City, smashing, looting, and burning, the He family also suffered, and many of their treasures were taken overseas by the foreigners.

Although He Shan did not learn bad things, he inherited the Manchu airs completely. One day, he always felt that he was a Manchu. Although he was a chef, he could not serve those unruly people and untouchables... At this point, He

Shan When the family was destroyed in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the family fortune also began to decline.

He Futang saw that his son was in such a bad state and had no choice. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he sold part of his family property, collected some money, and found a small family to marry He Shan. He forced He Daqing to be born until The He family had a successor, so they took a breath.

He Daqing, born in 1914, inherited the cooking talent of his father He Shan. When he was three or five years old, he relied on his keen sense of smell and taste to taste the ingredients and flavors in the dishes.

When he was a little older, He Shan began to teach He Daqing cooking skills. Although he had a complete inheritance of Tan family cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Confucius cuisine, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without good ingredients, even if she had recipes, she would not be able to develop her cooking skills.

In 1930, He Shan passed away, and 16-year-old He Daqing found the Tan family, who were also having a hard time, thinking that the relationship between the two families was okay and they could enjoy a meal.

In this way, He Daqing returned to Tan's cuisine again, and by virtue of the name of Tan's private cuisine, he got the opportunity to contact Tan's cuisine.

In 1934, 20-year-old He Daqing was introduced by a matchmaker to blindly marry He Yuzhu and He Yuzhu's mother Tang Yaru.

In mid-March of the following year on the Gregorian calendar, our protagonist He Yuzhu was born.

But when Tang Yaru gave birth to He Yuzhu, she was injured and it wasn't until He Yuzhu was eight years old that she recovered.

In April 1945, He Yuyu was born. When he thought that the He family of four would live a happy and peaceful life, Tang Yaru went out to buy groceries and was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet in the chest and died on the spot.

Not long after the seventh day of his mother's life, He Yuzhu left a letter and embarked on the road south to join the army.
