Chapter 61 He Yuzhu, who is still remembered
After buying a Zhongshan suit and two sets of casual clothes, Li Qin wandered around the department store again.
After that, he bought some innerwear, two pairs of cloth shoes, and a pair of leather shoes.
Although Li Qin can transform into modern objects through shapeshifting, he feels that he cannot rely on shapeshifting for everything.
But now that he had arrived in this era, he naturally wanted to experience life in this era firsthand.
It was several hours later when Li Qin came out of the department store.
Compared to when he first entered, he is now carrying quite a lot of things in his hands.
"I must say, this kind of unique shopping experience is quite special."
Li Qin subconsciously turned around and glanced at the department store behind him.
Then he looked at what he was holding.
At first, he only planned to buy a few outfits and shoes;
But while browsing inside, he couldn't resist reaching out to pay after seeing some things unique to this era.
Fortunately, he is now quite wealthy, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to get out of here.
Li Qin specifically chose a secluded alley, and when no one was around, he put everything in his hand into his ring space.
As for organizing, that will definitely be done gradually later.
All he wants now is to go into the planting space and take a good shower.
When we were in the department store just now, there were so many people inside that it was inevitable to be crowded.
Li Qin felt that his whole body smelled of sweat.
The simplest way to solve this problem is naturally to cast a cleansing spell on yourself;
While that might wash away the dirt, it doesn't relieve the mental fatigue.
The best thing to do is, of course, to take a nice soak in the bathtub.
Actually, there are quite a few bathhouses in Beijing, and they are very affordable.
Li Qin just wasn't used to taking a bath with a bunch of people.
Li Qin teleported to a room in the courtyard house with his magic suitcase.
Because he didn't enter the room from the outside, and as soon as he got home, he immediately went into the planting space.
Therefore, no one knew that Li Qin had already returned.
After entering the space, Li Qin first arranged for the kitchen to prepare dinner, and then went directly to the bathroom.
The bathroom in the courtyard is quite spacious, even very large.
Not only is there a shower area, but there is also a large bathtub.
With a wave of Li Qin's hand, the previously empty bathtub instantly filled with warm water.
Then he waved his hand again.
The clothes on their bodies would then fall off automatically.
"Indeed, no matter how comfortable the spell is, the feeling of taking a bath is something that spells cannot replace."
Li Qin lay naked in the bathtub, making sounds of pleasure.
He soaked in the bathtub for quite a while.
Only when he felt the water temperature had gradually cooled down did he get out of the water.
After washing herself thoroughly, Li Qin changed into the clothes she had just bought that day.
To be honest, although the clothes he was wearing before were cleaned exceptionally well by the magic spell, there was still something awkward about them.
After changing into his new clothes, Li Qin immediately felt much more comfortable.
Of course, Li Qin also knew that this was just his psychological effect.
His old clothes, though patched all over, had been worn for over a year.
However, this situation is extremely common during this period.
New for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years.
This is a characteristic of this period.
If Li Qin's old clothes were thrown out, they would soon be picked up and reused by someone.
Although Li Qin now has new clothes, he can't really throw away his old ones.
He still needs to keep these old clothes.
It wasn't for commemoration or any other reason.
Rather, it was simply a matter of not wanting to cause trouble, and also a way to keep things out of the open as a cover.
After a few years, when he has fully established himself, these things will truly fade from the scene.
Even if Li Qin resolves his work issues now, he cannot make any major changes immediately.
Instead, changes should be made gradually and subtly to avoid attracting excessive attention.
After taking a shower, Li Qin went straight to the restaurant.
At this moment, the restaurant table was already filled with a table full of delicious food.
While enjoying the food, Li Qin pondered his future plans and strategies.
Although he used very few spells today, shopping at the department store was still quite tiring, so he needed to replenish his energy.
Overall, however, his appetite today was much smaller than before.
Many people say that He Yuzhu's cooking skills are so good, but Li Qin thinks that's an exaggeration.
Even though He Yuzhu learned from He Daqing since childhood, the He family has inherited the Tan family cuisine.
Tan Family Cuisine is one of the most famous official cuisines in China. It is the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, an official in the late Qing Dynasty. Because he was the second-place scholar in the imperial examination in the thirteenth year of the Tongzhi reign, it is also known as "Bangyan Cuisine".
Tan Family Cuisine primarily employs braising, stewing, simmering, roasting, and steaming methods. It is known for its expertise in preparing dried goods and its mastery of using rich broths and slow-cooking seafood delicacies.
Tan Family Cuisine is renowned for its meticulous ingredient selection, generous use of ingredients, careful preparation, perfect cooking time and temperature, and pure flavor.
This means that even if He Yuzhu inherits the recipes of Tan Family Cuisine, he will not have many opportunities to practice them.
Because the raw materials are too difficult to obtain.
Especially at this time of year.
Therefore, He Yuzhu's skill in Tan family cuisine is roughly at the beginner level;
What truly allowed He Yuzhu to gain a foothold in the steel rolling mill was Sichuan cuisine.
Before He Daqing left Beijing, he arranged for He Yuzhu to be an apprentice at Hongbinlou Restaurant. It was during that time that He Yuzhu learned how to cook some Sichuan dishes.
After He Daqing left, He Yuzhu, for reasons unknown, also left Hongbinlou.
Thus, although He Yuzhu's skill in Sichuan cuisine was better than that of the Tan family cuisine, it was still limited.
Being a cook is a demanding job, but there are many rules to follow.
In previous years, I could only work as an assistant, or even just wash rice and vegetables. I had no chance to learn any real skills, even though I had some connection with the Qing Dynasty.
He Yuzhu could only learn so much at Hongbinlou in just a few years.
In other words, it was a recipe for honey-glazed seasonings left by He Daqing, plus He Yuzhu's own talent in cooking.
In addition, after working in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill for a long time, He Yuzhu's cooking skills gradually improved.
For diners unfamiliar with modern technology and culinary skills, He Yuzhu's cooking might be passable, but compared to Li Qin's, it's just so-so.
At least Li Qin dares to say that the meals prepared automatically by the Life Magic Kitchen are definitely better than those made by He Yuzhu.
However, if there is a chance in the future, I can try He Yuzhu's cooking.
Thinking of He Yuzhu's cooking skills, Li Qin suddenly remembered something;
"Speaking of which, before He Daqing left Beijing, I wonder if he left the recipes for Tan Family Cuisine with He Yuzhu?"
At this moment, Li Qin was thinking that if the Qing Dynasty had preserved its legacy, then perhaps he could try to find it.
If found, his menu will include Tan Family Cuisine.
Others might be limited by the availability of ingredients when they get a menu, but that doesn't stump Li Qin.
