Chapter 45: Training He Yuzhu
So many things happened these days, and I killed 4 thugs.
He Yuzhu was not interested at all in the wrestling game that Xu Damao and the others were playing, which was like playing house.
Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't want to go,
The three of them, whose minds had already flown outside, immediately put away their homework and ran out.
In the evening, when Yi Zhonghai and his friends got off work and went home, they all came to ask about He Daqing and the White Widow.
He Yuzhu also took out the agreement again for them to sign.
On the second day of work, due to their age, the father and his two sons were stopped and questioned by black patrolmen and gangsters on the road.
But everything got through safely.
When we arrived at Fengze Garden,
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw the chefs asking for leave from Guo Youzhong, the chef, with their extra salary for the month.
He said he wanted to go to Qianmen Street to exchange dollars and buy food.
Guo Youzhong looked at the many gold yuan notes in his hand and frowned and said,
“I understand everyone’s thoughts.
Not only you, I also have to exchange money and buy supplies, otherwise my family will run out of food.
But you also saw,
The shopkeeper has given us a lot more wages today. He is so kind and righteous, so we should not be ungrateful.
Now that everyone has left, today's business will be dead!"
After hearing what Guo Youzhong said, the chefs were somewhat embarrassed.
But if I don't go, who knows if those silver dollar dealers will still be there when I get off work at night?
If we delay for a few more days, the gold yuan notes in our hands will probably shrink a lot in value.
But what Guo Youzhong said was also good.
Luan Xuetang has already paid them more wages, which is a bit of compensation for them, so it is not easy for them to make trouble.
Seeing everyone in such a difficult situation,
At this time, He Yuzhu remembered something called a mutual aid savings association that would be implemented later. There were some good methods in it that were worth learning from.
"Master Guo, all the masters,
I think it's better this way.
All of you should pool your money on one person, and divide it up after you get the money back.
After dividing the money, each person contributed money according to their needs. Master Guo then arranged for a few people to buy supplies and then delivered them door to door.
Their work can be shared by those who stay in the store.
This way, the business of the store will not be affected and no one will have their salary deducted for taking leave.
What do you think of my idea? "
They were all old friends who had worked together for many years and there was no trust issue. They all thought the solution proposed by He Yuzhu was feasible.
Then they all started praising He Yuzhu for solving the problem.
"Sure, Zhuzi, that's a good idea. You have a really smart brain. You solved the problem in one go!"
"Yes, he is young after all, and his brain works well!"
……
Hearing everyone's praise, He Yuzhu smiled modestly.
"Hehe, to be honest with you masters, it would be good for me to get the money back as soon as possible and reduce the loss.
My father's salary is half of mine.
When it comes to money, your brain should be quick! "
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the chefs remembered what He Daqing had said about remarrying some time ago, and they all nodded in understanding.
When Guo Youzhong reported this idea to Luan Xuetang,
Luan Xuetang was also very happy.
The reason why he gave more wages today was because the prices had risen too much recently, and he had to win over the pillars of Fengze Garden.
He Yuzhu's method helped him solve the big problem.
Thinking of He Yuzhu's recent performance, Luan Xuetang felt that it was necessary to train him.
So I went to the kitchen with a smile,
"Master He, when you get married, the relationships in your family will be much more complicated than they are now. I think we can let Zhuzi start cooking in advance so that he can start working as an apprentice and earn money earlier in the future."
After saying this, he looked at Guo Youzhong, the chef.
"Of course, I'm just making a suggestion. Master Guo, you are the one in charge of the kitchen, and you have the final say on the kitchen matters." Guo Youzhong did not object to letting He Yuzhu go to the kitchen in advance.
Firstly, he didn't want to offend Luan Xuetang and He Daqing;
Secondly, He Yuzhu was not his apprentice, so he didn't have to pay anything to go to the kitchen in advance;
Finally, the He family's craft is inherited from generation to generation.
He Yuzhu started training when he was very young. His basic skills were much more solid than those of ordinary apprentices, so he was already qualified.
The reason why I haven't been cooking is,
That's because there is no order without rules. The rules of Fengze Garden are there. You must do odd jobs for three years before you can enter.
But no matter how big the rules are, they are made by people.
Now the shopkeeper Luan Xuetang has made it clear that he wants to train He Yuzhu. Whether it is in accordance with the rules or not is just a matter of a word.
"I think it's possible. Zhu has basic skills now, so he can cook.
In the future, I will have to trouble Master He, the father, to train him well and try to train a great chef for our Fengze Garden."
The He family has been chefs for generations, and He Daqing is very confident in his family's cooking skills.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you, Master Guo, thank you, my colleagues.
Don't worry, Zhuzi is my son, I will never let him down."
When He Yuzhu heard Luan Xuetang ask him to cook in advance, he was very happy.
I thought that it was worth it for me to work so hard to show myself.
It finally paid off.
Soon, Guo Youzhong arranged for the chef Zheng Fuxiang to take Wang Yijun and several other apprentices to Qianmen Street to exchange silver dollars.
Others continued to work.
He Yuzhu followed He Daqing to the large pots of soup.
"Zhuzi, I have taught you since you were a child that the quality of a dish depends on the quality of the soup.
Since the shopkeeper and Master Guo allowed you to cook in advance,
Then today, Dad will teach you the most important soup."
"Dad, I know.
As the saying goes, "70% of the flavor depends on the broth, 30% of the color needs to be preserved, 1% of the salt, 2% of the sauce, 3% of the color, and the success or failure depends on the cooking skill."
I must not forget the importance of broth.”
He Yuzhu had just finished speaking when Guo Youzhong's voice came from the side.
"Sure, Zhuzi, you said that before, it must have been 7 or 8 years ago, few people mention Fengze Garden anymore.
I didn't expect that an apprentice like you could remember what you heard. You are indeed worthy of your family's learning."
He Yuzhu was somewhat embarrassed by what Guo Youzhong said, but he couldn't say that this was something he saw on TV in the future.
I can only say it in a very arrogant way,
"Hehe, our He family has three generations of chefs. I was born with the smell of a chef in my body, so I naturally pay special attention to these things.
I don’t know who mentioned it last year, and then I remembered it.”
Guo Youzhong did not think He Yuzhu was being cocky, but thought he was very talented, and kept envying He Daqing for his good fortune.
"Congratulations, Lao He, you now have a successor.
Unlike the three brats in my family, when they were taught to cook when they were young, they all complained about the hardship and could not bear it.
Now I can’t even enter Fengze Garden, I can only go to small restaurants, it’s so fucking embarrassing.”
Guo Youzhong can scold his own son, but if He Daqing responds, it would be like he is not a good person.
I can only change the subject.
"In that case, how about Master Guo also help take care of it?
Maybe Zhuzi will be able to inherit your legacy in the future!"
