Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 8 Before the Wedding (Part )
He Yuzhu finished dressing up his sister and nodded with satisfaction. At least he was satisfied and felt a sense of accomplishment. He combed her hair perfectly the first time.

He totally didn't notice that his sister was so happy that she could hang things on her lips after looking in the mirror. He Yuzhu was mysteriously confident. He Yushui looked at his brother's smug look and sighed secretly.

Although she was only five years old, she already knew how to be vain. Although her hair was not tied very well, at least she washed his hair, so it was clean.

"The rain is gone"

"Here I come, brother."

After the brother and sister left Nanluoguxiang, each of them had a big steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. He Yushui's beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent shapes and she enjoyed the pleasure brought by the food.

He Yuzhu originally didn't like eating buns stuffed with cabbage and pork early in the morning, but now he was amazed when he put it in his mouth, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

It is probably because this body lacks oil and water. Some people may ask, isn't he a chef's apprentice? Why is he lacking oil and water?

Even if you work in a place like Fengzeyuan, the little bit of oil from the work meal is not enough to support your labor needs.

As for leftovers, there were not many except for those packed up by the customers. Even if there were any, it would not be his turn as an apprentice. If He Daqing and Chef Wang were not brothers, would he have gone to work in the rain?

Don't even think about it, not to mention that you have to eat there in the rain, even if the children don't eat much. Rules are rules. If everyone brings their children to work, then is Fengze Garden a restaurant or a nursery?

The public-private partnership has not started yet, and these places are privately owned, as everyone understands.

"Master, I want to take a leave. My neighbor is getting married and wants me to help!"

He Yuzhu was cleaning when he saw his master coming towards him. He immediately stepped forward and handed the brewed tea to his master while asking for leave.

He Yuzhu is an apprentice, not a formal employee. As long as the chef agrees, he will be given some hard work pay every month. Only waiters who are formally employed by the restaurant need to ask the manager for leave.

"Then go back! Don't bring Yu Shui back with you. I'll take her home at noon and ask your mistress to look after her. The child is still young, and it won't do if she's busy and no one is watching her!"

He Yuzhu knew that his master's wife particularly liked Yu Shui, mainly because her family had three sons and they wanted a child when the third was born. It turned out to be another boy. Every time Yu Shui went to his master's house, his master's wife would hold him in her arms and not want to let go.

"Okay, how about I just send it over?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and didn't object. If it was at someone else's place, Yu Shui might refuse, but if it went to her master's wife's place, Yu Shui would definitely not object because there were many snacks waiting for her.

"Okay, then you send it over!"

Master Wang thought about it and agreed. Although there was not much to do in the morning, he might be busy around noon!
As the head chef, he doesn't need to serve most of the customers, his senior disciple can do it. But some customers need him to serve personally. It would be difficult to explain if he fails to take care of them and they get hurt.

After all, they are other people's children, and the responsibility is heavy.

"Master's Wife, I'm sorry to trouble you with the rain. I'll take it back tomorrow."

He Yuzhu sent Yu Shui to his master's wife's house according to his memory. When he saw his master's wife, Yu Shui immediately rushed over and whispered something in her ear, looking at He Yuzhu from time to time, obviously complaining.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi! It's just right for little Yushui to be here to keep me company. Yushui likes Master's wife the most, right?"

"Hehe, yes, yes, yes!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes. The little girl couldn't tell whether he liked his master's wife or the snacks.

"Thank you, Master's Wife. Rain, please be obedient."

He Yuzhu was about to leave after saying this. He had to go back to help. If he didn't go, it would look bad on the neighbors, and there would be no one to help him when he got married in the future.

"Zhu Zi, learn how to comb your hair from now on!"

At the moment when He Yuzhu turned around, the voice of his master's wife floated into his ears. He was about to talk nonsense, but his master's wife had already entered the door with Yu Shui in her arms. The dead girl had complained about the braids, and she touched her nose awkwardly. His master's home was really nice. It was a small courtyard as soon as you entered it. You could close the door and isolate yourself from the world. It was convenient to eat whatever you wanted. Unlike their courtyard, there were almost no secrets.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the compound, everyone had almost finished setting up. He remembered that Yi Zhonghai had asked him to help in the kitchen. He saw the built stove and a fairly strong man, who should be the cook hired by the Jia family, who was cooking a big pot of food, probably for the neighbors who came to help.

Standing next to him was a short, fat man with triangular eyes, in his forties, staring at the chef's every move. Searching his memory, he realized that this man was the famous Jia Zhang.

What is this? Is he spying on the cook? He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head. It was going to be fun later. It looked like today's wedding banquet was not going to go smoothly.

There are a few types of people in this world that you cannot afford to offend:
The first is the doctor. There is an old saying that a doctor kills people without using a knife, which shows that the consequences of offending a doctor will definitely be bad.

The second is the chef. Was Zhu Yuanzhang ruthless enough? His chef Xu Xingzu enjoyed all the glory and wealth. His son, Prince Jin, was in a bad mood and whipped the chef team led by Xu Xingzu. He was reprimanded by the imperial edict. He knew that if Xu Xingzu was resentful, it would be easy to make him die.
You, Jia Zhang, invited people to prepare the wedding banquet, and they were watching you from the side. How could the chef feel happy?

If there is not enough ingredients, your expenses will increase a lot. You are really stupid and don’t understand the ways of the world.

"Hello, Master. I am He Yuzhu from this compound. I am here to help you in the kitchen."

He Yuzhu walked over and greeted the chef. It was necessary to greet the chef when working for him.

"You kid don't recognize me?"

"Excuse my ignorance, what is your name?"

"He Daqing and I have a good relationship with the chef of the second canteen of the steel rolling mill!"

"Haha, so it's Uncle Li, I was wondering why he looked so familiar!"

"How come you go back on your promise? Why are you letting me suffer this humiliation?"

"No, Uncle Li, what do you mean I regret it? What did I promise?"

"Yi Zhonghai said you promised to host the wedding banquet, but you changed your mind last night and invited me!"

Master Li looked at He Yuzhu in confusion. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai had lied to him?

In his impression, although He Yuzhu was called Shazhu, he was undoubtedly a real man.

"Uncle Li, don't listen to his nonsense. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu asked me to prepare the wedding banquet last night, but I refused!

I haven't even graduated yet, so how dare I take on a job? Uncle Li, you know the rules. How dare I take on a job without Master's permission?"

"That's right. If you haven't completed your apprenticeship, you can't take any job. Yi Zhonghai is a well-known figure in the steel mill. He is unworthy of being a man if he arranges a child!"

"Uncle Li, calm down. What do you need me to do?"

"The big pot of food is out, get ready to serve everyone! Don't serve too much, this is the first time I've seen a host not letting his neighbors eat enough!

I am annoyed by the fact that there are too many things here and there. I have been to many houses, but your compound really opened my eyes!"

Master Li's words were heard clearly by Yang Ruihua and Yan Yang!

He Yuzhu smiled slightly. By the time lunch was over, the news would surely be widely known.

The good show is about to begin in Cairo...
