Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 166 Master Passes Away

After settling her down, he headed towards his master's house.

I have been concentrating on brewing wine recently and haven't sent food to the master for a few days.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw the master waving a broom to clean the courtyard.

He Yuzhu hurried to the master and snatched the broom.

"Master, let me clean up, you go and have a rest."

"It's not tiring. This is nothing."

The master said this and wanted to take the broom back.

"No, Master, let me do it. You should take a rest."

...Please like it…………

Seeing He Yuzhu's firm attitude, the master did not insist any more.

"You've been busy lately, haven't you? How's the situation at the winery?"

The master poured a glass of water for He Yuzhu and asked with concern.

If the winery can operate smoothly, the master can rest assured.

After all, the recipe was not wasted.

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "It has already started. I will send it to you when the first batch of goods is out."

He didn't tell his master that his current income had more than doubled.

"Well, that's really nice."

The master nodded with satisfaction and continued, "You are much better than an old man like me. With you holding the stage, there will be no problem."

……

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was filled with gratitude.

He said, "Master, I feel embarrassed for saying this. It's all because of your good teaching."

The master smiled and said, "No, no, you are too polite."

"Master, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the factory after I finish cooking."

He Yuzhu felt a little guilty as he hadn't come to deliver meals to his master for several days.

He wanted to cook some of his master's signature dishes.

"Just stir-fry two dishes. I'm not used to eating outside food."

The chef doesn't have any special preferences, he just doesn't like eating out.

He Yuzhu responded and walked towards the kitchen.

"Wait, I have something to say."

He Yuzhu turned around and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

The master sighed and said slowly: "I may not be able to continue teaching you."

"what…"

He Yuzhu was very surprised.

He didn't expect this to happen and felt very sad.

The master treated him like his own son, and he cherished this master-disciple friendship very much.

"Yuzhu, I'm old and my body can't take it."

"But... Master."

He Yuzhu wanted to say something but stopped.

Seeing that his master was determined to leave, he knew there was no point in saying anything more.

He took out his wallet, took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the master.

"Master, this is for you. Remember to take it when you need it in the future."

He Yuzhu's eyes suddenly became moist and tears flowed down.

The master raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu, "No need to be like this, we just met once, and our fate has ended."

"Master, you haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll make a good meal today."

The master shook his head: "Well, if you don't do it, it will seem that I am inhumane."

He has packed his luggage and is ready to leave.

I just don’t want He Yuzhu to know.

When He Yuzhu heard this, he rushed out immediately.

"Three, six, seven"

Before long, he bought back various ingredients including chicken, fish, etc.

He quickly prepared a sumptuous lunch for his master.

"Master, let's eat!"

"Yuzhu, thank you for your hard work!"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Master, what you said is too polite. If you want to eat anything in the future, just let me know anytime."

The master nodded, tears in his eyes.

After dinner, He Yuzhu wanted to stay and help the master clean the yard, but the master drove him away.

“You go to the winery and pay close attention to the brewing process at the beginning.”

"I can do it myself. Don't lose the big picture for the small."

The master pushed He Yuzhu out of the door and closed it.

He Yuzhu stood outside the door in silence for a while.

"master……"

There were soft cries coming from inside the house.

He Yuzhu turned and left, not daring to stay a moment longer.

After returning to the winery, He Yuzhu remembered his master's words and immediately checked the jars of wine that were being brewed.

Everything was normal and under his control.

When he had nothing to do, He Yuzhu sat down to study new formulas.

He was not satisfied with the existing varieties and firmly believed that he could create a broader situation.

The new formula was not new to him, he had already had the outline of it in his mind.

What is lacking now is the opportunity to practice.

However, some of the materials needed for the new recipe were difficult to find, and he was unable to buy any in the market for several days, so he had to give up for the time being.

These days, although He Yuzhu spends most of his time at the winery, he has not forgotten his responsibilities.

After returning home in the evening, he will take the initiative to cook.

When Xu Huizhen came back, four dishes and a soup were already on the table.

She smelled it and found it had a very delicious aroma.

Xu Huizhen smiled and gave a few words of praise.

"How about you try it?"

He Yuzhu asked.

Xu Huizhen took a bite and was very surprised. Today's food was particularly delicious.

"Yuzhu, the taste today is a little special, salty and sweet."

Xu Huizhen quickly washed her hands, filled two bowls of rice, and sat down at the table.

“I’ve improved it a bit. I can’t always cook Sichuan food.”

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Huizhen with a smile, thinking that he would buy her a thicker gold necklace after he made some money.

Women naturally like beautiful things, which also conforms to men's aesthetic taste.

"Oh? I see. No wonder."

Xu Huizhen nodded.

After a delicious dinner, the two chatted for a long time before taking a break.

During this period, He Yuzhu spent most of his time in the winery and rarely communicated with his neighbors in the courtyard.

Half a month later, the first jar of wine was finally brewed successfully.

He Yuzhu specially called Xu Huizhen to the winery.

As soon as the lid is opened, a unique aroma wafts out.

Xu Huizhen took a deep breath and immediately felt relaxed all over, as if she was refreshed.

"smell good."

Xu Huizhen sighed.

"hehe."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly.

This wine is called "Qingshan Lushui"

, was the name given by He Yuzhu.

Its unique aroma is not only refreshing and pleasant, but also invigorating.

"Yuzhu, are you sure you want to sell it?"

Xu Huizhen asked.

He Yuzhu nodded firmly.

“We have many regular customers and we don’t have to worry about sales.

If you want to sell it, then sell it!"

Xu Huizhen responded.

She also hopes to sell this special fine wine.

He Yuzhu poured a small cup and handed it to Xu Huizhen.

This cup of "Green Mountain Dew"

It was indeed unique, making Xu Huizhen feel like she was in a fairyland.

"Yuzhu, this wine is really good."

Xu Huizhen praised.

"Yes, Master does have real skills, but it's a pity that he is too old, otherwise it would not be my turn."

He Yuzhu felt a little regretful as he hadn't seen his master for a long time.

Why not go visit him tomorrow? Maybe the master’s mind has changed during this period.

The next morning, He Yuzhu went to his master's house first.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Aren't you at home?

Or haven't woken up yet?

He Yuzhu felt a little disappointed, but soon cheered up and knocked on the door harder.

Still no one answered.

At this time, an old lady walked out from the yard opposite.

"Who are you looking for, young man?"

The old lady looked He Yuzhu up and down. He thought, “He’s a bad guy, knocking on the door so early in the morning.”

"Auntie, I'm looking for the old man who lives here. He is my master."

In order to avoid misunderstanding from the other party, He Yuzhu explained his identity with a smile.

"Oh, you are the disciple of Old Wang. He has not lived here for a long time. How come you don't know?"

The aunt was a little surprised and couldn't help but doubt He Yuzhu's identity.

If he was his apprentice, why didn't he inform him of such an important matter as moving away?

"what?"

He Yuzhu was surprised.

"Where did my master move to?"

"How would I know."

The aunt snorted and turned to go back to the house.

"Wait a minute, Auntie."

He Yuzhu stopped the old lady.

"What are you doing!"

The aunt looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"Auntie, please tell me the exact location."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, at least he had to know his master's new address.

Otherwise, if you want to see him in the future, you will have to ask others.

"I have no idea!"

The aunt waved her hand and prepared to go back into the house.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and stood in front of her to block her way.

"No matter where he moves, I, as his apprentice, will go and look for him."

The aunt looked at him with a frown.

"Why are you so weird? I've kindly told you that no one lives here, but you're still pestering me."

He Yuzhu scratched his head.

"Auntie, that's not what I meant. I'm just anxious to find my master."

The aunt shook her head. "Your master is a loner, he lives alone, and he doesn't associate with us."

"It's not that I don't tell you, I just really don't know."

Seeing that the old lady did not seem to be lying, He Yuzhu could only apologize and let her go back.

He asked the neighbors around him, but still no one knew his master.

He Yuzhu is in trouble.

"Master, where are you?"

"Ugh!"

He Yuzhu let out a long sigh.

Thinking that his master lived alone and no one would know if something happened, He Yuzhu felt filled with guilt and worry.

In desperation, He Yuzhu came to Xu Huizhen's tavern.

Xu Huizhen saw that he looked depressed and asked anxiously, "Yuzhu, what's wrong?"

Xu Huizhen signaled the waiter to pour him a cup of hot water and sat next to He Yuzhu.

"Huizhen, I..."

He Yuzhu seemed to want to say something but stopped.

He was conflicted, not knowing whether he should tell Xu Huizhen about his master's disappearance.

After all, the Master and Xu Huizhen did not have a close relationship and they had only met a few times.

"what happened?"

Seeing He Yuzhu hesitating, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but ask more.

"My master..."

He Yuzhu lowered his head, looking a little heavy.

"What happened to your master?"

Xu Huizhen asked anxiously, "Don't hesitate, just say whatever you want to say."

He Yuzhu sighed, "Master...passed away."

"died?"

Xu Huizhen was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted.

"It seems your master has been prepared."

"Well, I must have disappointed him by not being able to read his mind."

He Yuzhu said self-reproachfully.

Xu Huizhen comforted him: "You have been very good to him, he won't blame you."

However, He Yuzhu felt even more guilty after hearing these words, blaming himself for being so incompetent that he couldn't even do such a thing.

Xu Huizhen comforted him with a few words, which calmed him down a little.

He Yuzhu suddenly raised his head: "I remember Master once said that we should do more good deeds."
