Chapter 144: Returning home with good news, Sha Zhu's current situation
Wang Jianye has made clear his current top priority.
"By the way, Wang Yijun, where do you live?"
Before leaving get off work, Wang Jianye asked Wang Yijun a question.
As a master, he knew where the other two apprentices lived, but he had not had the chance to ask about the third apprentice, Wang Yijun.
"Master, I currently live at No. 31 Dongnanyuan Hutong."
Wang Jianye nodded and then asked, "Then do you know where I live?"
Wang Yijun had no idea where his master lived. He usually just focused on helping Master Sun and had never asked anyone about it.
"I live in two places now. One is the courtyard house at No. 11 Nanluoguxiang, and the other is the courtyard house at No. Qianmen that Fengzeyuan arranged for me. If you need to find me for something urgent, just go to these two places and ask."
After Wang Jianye gave his instructions, he rode his bicycle to Nanluoguxiang, carrying the two lunch boxes filled with meat and vegetables that he was entitled to every day as the second kitchen chef.
Today is Saturday and tomorrow is the weekend. It is Wang Jianye's turn to rest, and Wang Jianting is due to be back this week, so he plans to move back to the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang tonight.
Fengze Garden is located on Zhushikou West Street, about five kilometers away from Nanluoguxiang. It takes about 25 minutes to get there by bicycle, and about an hour if you walk.
The new house that Wang Jianye moved into is relatively close to Fengze Garden. It only takes ten minutes to get there by bike, which is very convenient for commuting to get off work.
Soon, Wang Jianye returned to the familiar Nanluoguxiang courtyard.
After pushing his bicycle into the middle courtyard, Wang Jianye met Sha Zhu, "Hey! When did you come back?"
A few days ago, Qin Huairu told Wang Jianye that Sha Zhu took his sister He Yushui to Baocheng to look for He Daqing. Now Sha Zhu has returned to Sijiucheng, so where is He Daqing...
"Brother Wang, I came back by train at noon today."
Sha Zhu was a little unhappy, probably because he encountered some unpleasant things in Baocheng.
Wang Jianye was a little curious: "Have you seen Master He? What did he say?"
"Don't mention it. He is obsessed with the widow surnamed Bai and doesn't want to come back. Brother Wang, what's so good about this widow that makes him miss her so much!"
Sha Zhu gets angry whenever he mentions him, and says this with a look of disappointment.
When he brought He Yushui to find He Daqing, he tried to persuade him in every way, but He Daqing just didn't want to come back. However, he promised to send a living allowance every month until Sha Zhu and He Yushui came of age.
"Yeah, what's so good about being a widow?"
Wang Jianye also looked at him with a disappointed expression, "You are not much better than your father. In the drama, you were also bewitched by a young widow."
"Silly Zhu, don't learn from your father and have any thoughts about other widows."
If Sha Zhu had no thoughts about Qin Huairu, who became a widow, then this TV series about love in the courtyard would probably have ended with Sha Zhu's happy life.
The conditions of Sha Zhu in the play are really good. He has two houses in Sijiucheng, one of which is the best in the whole courtyard. The deaf old lady treats him as her own grandson. When the deaf old lady passes away in the future, the house will belong to him. This is a house worth hundreds of millions in the future, and he owns three houses at once. In addition, Sha Zhu's craftsmanship is also very good. His salary is 37.5 yuan a month, which is considered high in those years when the average salary of workers is 30 yuan. Sha Zhu later took the opportunity to get to know the big boss, and with the help of the deaf old lady, he got together with Lou Xiao'e. Even if he didn't get together with Lou Xiao'e, with Sha Zhu's conditions, he would definitely find a very good partner, a wife and children, a warm bed, how good.
But Sha Zhu was just being entangled with a widow. Even Dorgon couldn't handle a widow with a child, but Sha Zhu still wanted to show off, but in the end he ended up with a miserable end.
"Brother Wang, I hear there's something else behind your words."
Shazhu is not really stupid, he is just confused when facing Qin Huairu, but he is smart at other times.
"Hey, what can I say? It's just a piece of advice."
Wang Jianye didn't dwell on this topic any further, but continued to ask: "You are not in Fengze Garden now, where are you going next?"
"The uncle said he could introduce me to the cafeteria of the Lou Steel Rolling Mill outside Dongzhimen, which is the factory owned by the uncle. I haven't decided whether to go or not."
Shazhu was a little confused.
If he had not gone to Baocheng to find He Daqing to ask for some money, he might have listened to Yi Zhonghai and gone to work in the steel rolling mill in order to make money quickly. But now that he had a little savings in his hands, he hesitated and did not want to go to the canteen.
Places like canteens cook big pot dishes, but his cooking skills for Tan's cuisine are suitable for large restaurants or small kitchens, and I'm afraid they won't be very effective in big pot dishes.
Wang Jianye didn't care anymore. He just said he would think about it carefully before making a decision, and then returned to his home in the backyard.
When Wang Jianye returned home and saw Wang Jianwu yesterday, he told him that if he could rank in the top 15 in the class in the school test next week, Wang Jianye would prepare a table of Wang Jianwu's favorite dishes as a reward for him. At that time, Wang Jianwu said that he would study hard and would not let Wang Jianye down.
When Wang Jianye returned home, he saw Wang Jianwu studying seriously with Wang Jianwen. He raised questions from time to time and listened to Wang Jianwen's answers. Well, it was good. It seemed that this kid was really going to study hard.
"Mom, I have good news for you. The hot and sour potato shreds I made have become a new signature dish of our Fengze Garden. Every time a customer orders this dish, I can get two cents."
After Wang Jianye sat down, he took out the lunch box from his bag and said with a smile.
He has to share such good things with his family to make them happy.
"Is it so good? It's become a signature dish, so there must be a lot of customers ordering it, right?"
Zhang Lan had never been to a high-end restaurant like Fengze Garden, so she asked based on her understanding.
Wang Jianye smiled and nodded: "During this period, many people have ordered this dish. I have made a total of 2.5 yuan from this dish. This money is not included in the salary. I can go to the manager to withdraw this money before leaving work. I can withdraw it every day, every few days, or withdraw it together with the salary."
"Your treatment at Fengze Garden is really good. We are willing to give you so much money."
Zhang Lan said enviously that this was much easier than her job as a fitter in the workshop, and she could earn more money.
"After all, the signature dishes are the face of a restaurant. For chefs who can make signature dishes, no matter which restaurant they go to, they will be given very good treatment. And the more signature dishes they can make, the more money they will make.
I only have one signature dish, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and when a customer orders this signature dish, I get two cents. If I have two, three, or five signature dishes later, I can get more money, even multiples of it. "
After hearing what Wang Jianye said.
Zhang Lan, Wang Jiannan and others are looking forward to Wang Jianye creating more signature dishes in the next few years, so that he can earn more money.
