Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

How should I put it, after so many years, he has understood it.

He can't live without Fatty, just like he can't live without Silly Pillar.

Speaking of Silly Zhu, he finally submitted his resignation to Yan Jiecheng today.

"Xie Cheng, brother, I may not be able to continue working with you. This is my fault. I apologize to you."

Yan Jiecheng was quite surprised. Although he wanted to find an excuse to make Silly Zhu retreat, he hadn't taken action yet?

In addition, Chunfeng Restaurant has finally started to improve again, and the person to replace Shazhu has not been found yet.

Yan Jiecheng was a little panicked: "No, silly Zhu, Brother Zhu! If you leave, what will happen to my stall?"

Silly Zhu scratched the back of his head and felt quite embarrassed: "How about I ask my apprentice to come to you?"

"Who is it? MCA?"

MCA is not good, Shazhu has trained this confidant for so many years.

He opened a restaurant and pointed to MCA to help him make suggestions.

Silly Zhu explained: "It's not MCA, it's another apprentice of mine. I've been teaching him for many years. He has learned almost all the skills he needs to learn. I guarantee your satisfaction."

Are you satisfied? Yan Jiecheng didn't believe even a single punctuation mark of what Sha Zhu said.

It can be seen that he is determined to leave, thinking that as soon as his Singaporean wife left, he resigned;

Needless to say, someone else's rich woman must have invested money in it! Silly Zhu also wants to do business on his own. Now that he is the boss, can he continue to work for him?

Even though he was unwilling, Yan Jiecheng could only agree and let Shazhu bring the apprentice he mentioned to try the dishes.

"..."

In the afternoon, Shazhu actually brought someone over.

Yan Jiecheng was almost dumbfounded when he saw this man.

With a round face, big earlobes, double chin, and small eyes, isn’t this a young fat man?

He is your apprentice?

Silly Zhu is really, really, Yan Jiecheng really can't think of what to say.

Is it because you had a falling out with Fatty back then and he didn't recognize you as your master, so you had to get someone who looked like him so that you could retaliate?

Now that you’re here, let’s try the food.

The little fat man cooks a Sichuan dish called shredded pork with double peppers.

The so-called double pepper refers to green and red peppers, not the Sichuan peppercorns and vine peppers that everyone later became familiar with.

Chefs these days have cooking standards and are very accurate. If they say 4 taels of meat, it means 4 taels, not even 1 tael.

Unlike later, when I sold ramen for a year, the cow was only slightly injured at most...

The little fat man's hands were very accurate, but when Yan Jiecheng saw how much meat he grabbed, he jumped:

"Stop, stop, stop! Still can't get over it? Why are you grabbing so much dried meat? This is our small business!"

The little fat man was obviously frightened and looked at his master Shazhu with fear.

Silly Zhu sighed. In order to save costs and work hard on the quantity of dishes, the Yan family will always be so petty and will never succeed.

Shazhu personally went over and grabbed a handful of shredded pork, about 3 taels, and handed it to the little fat man and asked him to continue with the next steps.

Yan Jiecheng's eyebrows were twitching, and he hesitated several times. According to his wishes, a stir-fry with 2 taels of meat is enough, and that's it, whether you like it or not.

Silly Zhu and his apprentice were unambiguous when cooking the dishes. They performed a set of movements smoothly and without any trace of grasping their hands or feet.

Traditional chefs like them cooking at this time are not the same as Fatty Naqilige.

Fatty came from modern times and played the later set like a thief.

For example, for many dishes, no matter whether they are meat or vegetarian, they have to go through the oil process, which Silly Zhu cannot understand.

He had seen it in the back kitchen of Qili Pavilion. Even when frying shredded potatoes, they had to pass through the oil first;

Silly Zhu asked Fatty what he was doing? As a result, he was kicked out for peeping into business secrets.

Later Xiaodang told Shazhu why he did this.

First of all, this is to shorten the cooking time. This is actually particularly important for food stalls like Yan Jiecheng.

What food stalls pay attention to is the word "quick". Everything must be done quickly, the food must be served quickly, and the table must be turned over quickly. As the saying goes, the table must be as narrow as possible, the chairs must be as small as possible, and the customer must be as uncomfortable as he or she is. This way he eats. I'll leave as soon as I'm done...

By adding oil, you can quickly increase the temperature of the ingredients and accelerate the maturity of the ingredients;

The second is that over-oiling can maintain the color and taste of the ingredients. A protective layer will form on the surface of the oiled food to maintain better color. It can also effectively prevent excessive water loss and maintain the best taste.

I won’t go into details about the other benefits. All in all, the same dish fried by Qilige is tastier than those fried by other restaurants!

Silly Zhu's profession is still relatively traditional. The little fat guy does every step meticulously and has a high level of understanding.

After knowing who the boss was, he was able to save everything no matter what he did. Yan Jiecheng next to him saw that he was very satisfied.

After a while, the dishes will be out of the pot.

Sha Zhu handed Yan Jie a pair of chopsticks. He took a bite and commented: "The meat will be fried a little longer and chewed."

This time, the little fat man understood without having to be translated by Silly Zhu. Who is this? Just because there is less meat in the dish, it needs to be stir-fried, so that the diners have to chew a few more mouthfuls, which is just the right thing to do!

Yan Jiecheng only ate one chopstick and stopped eating. He pushed the plate of food in and said, "Don't move this. Leave it in the pot to heat up at night and bring it out to the front."

Good guy, give the guests the food you have eaten...

You see, this is in front of a fool. Without him, Yan Jiechengzhi might not be able to do what he did.

So, regardless of whether there is a fool or not, his restaurant should still be yellow.

After trying the dishes, Yan Jiecheng was generally satisfied with the little fat man and asked him: "What's your name?"

The little fat man promised: "My name is Wang Lu, I am 22 this year."

Only 22, so young, so good.

Yan Jiecheng sighed a little in his heart, and then asked Wang Lu: "What do you think about salary?"

Wang Lu said bluntly: "It can't be less than in the factory."

Silly Zhu helped out at the right time: "This child's family is in trouble, otherwise I wouldn't take him out."

Yan Jiecheng thought for a while and said: "Xu Damao's parts factory pays workers 300 yuan a month, and they work overtime every day; our restaurant is not that tired, so I will give you 400 yuan a month!"

After digging you, Silly Zhu pulled Wang Lu away.

Yan Jiecheng became anxious when he saw this: "Five hundred, five hundred is all right!"

Silly Zhu didn't even look back after hearing this. What about the beggar? That fat man’s apprentice earns 700 a month!

Yan Jiecheng caught up from behind, with a look of grief on his face, as if he was dying, gritted his teeth: "Six hundred, six hundred is enough, right?"

Silly Zhu finally stopped, looked at him and said, "If you are still so insincere, I will take this child away."
