Siheyuan starts from a good life

There were still three rooms reserved in the cotton spinning factory, and everyone arrived at the room where Jiang Yan was.

"Uncle He, sit down."

Seeing He Daqing sitting down with He Yuyu in his arms, Jiang Yan glanced at Xu Damao and He Yuzhu who were standing there.

"Find a place to sit by yourself, don't be stuck somewhere."

After Jiang Yan said this, he turned to Xu Damao and said, "Why don't you have the sharp eyesight to pour tea for Uncle He?"

After Xu Damao responded, he picked up the hot water bottle on the table, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yan and He Daqing and placed it in front of them.

"Okay Zhuzhu, don't look at Uncle He like this. He is your father after all."

Seeing He Yuzhu's eyes like an enemy, Jiang Yan couldn't help but say something.

"Boss, I don't know why you are so polite to this person who abandoned his own children!"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, He Yuzhu said with a stinking look on his face.

"You brat, what are you talking about! After all, I am a naughty father. Have you said that about your father? I haven't seen you lose your temper in the past few years!"

"I've done it all and don't let others say it, so why don't you do it?"

He Yuzhu and He Daqing started dating immediately. Seeing the two men, Jiang Yan felt a little headache.

"Uncle He, Zhu Zhu, you two should stop arguing. Can you sit down and talk properly?"

After Jiang Yan said this, he then said, "Uncle He, please control your temper. It's not good to scare your daughter-in-law."

After Jiang Yan said this, he pointed to Qin Huairu who was sitting next to He Yuzhu and said, "Her name is Qin Huairu. She is your daughter-in-law. She has already received the marriage certificate from Zhuzi. The table will be set up in a few days, so why not come over now?" Let me ask you, old man, what you mean."

As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, Qin Huairu called He Daqing crisply, "Dad."

"Hey!" Hearing this, He Daqing agreed with a smile on his face. Then he put He Yuyu on the ground and hurriedly dug into his pocket for something.

Jiang Yan saw He Daqing rummaging through all his pockets and only taking out five dollars.

He smiled a little awkwardly and said to Qin Huairu: "Daughter, I went out in a hurry and didn't bring so much money. Please take these five yuan first. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will give you a big red envelope. Since you You already call me dad, so the change fee cannot be less, dad knows the rules."

Qin Huairu took the money handed over by He Daqing, smiled at He Daqing and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Hearing this life's thanks, He Daqing smiled even more happily.

"It's only five yuan, you have the nerve to pay for it."

He Yuzhu next to him said something shocking.

Seeing that He Yuzhu wanted to say something, Qin Huairu stopped him.

At this time, Jiang Yan said, "Uncle He, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, He Daqing took a cigarette and took a puff. He smiled bitterly and said, "I know, you must want to ask me why I left Sijiu City!"

"Uncle He is still transparent." Jiang Yan gave He Daqing a thumbs up and praised him.

He Daqing didn't care about Jiang Yan's compliment and took another puff of cigarette.

"When I saw the pillars today, I knew what you were here to do today. Since you want to know, I will tell you."

After hearing He Daqing's words, everyone did not say a word, but quietly waited for the next step.

"I had no choice but to leave Sijiu City. To be precise, I was caught by someone and had to leave. I did it for Zhuzi and the others."

"Is it a matter of ingredients?" Jiang Yan interjected after hearing this.

"There's nothing wrong with our ingredients! We are just small craftsmen, and we belong to the semi-proletariat!"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, He Daqing looked at Jiang Yan and said something strange.

The so-called semi-proletariat includes: the vast majority of semi-owner farmers, poor peasants, small handicraftsmen, shop assistants, and hawkers.

Small handicraftsmen are called semi-proletarians because although they have simple means of production and are a free profession, they are often forced to sell part of their labor force, and their economic status is slightly equivalent to that of poor peasants in rural areas. Because of the heavy burden on their families and the disproportion between wages and living expenses, they often suffer from the oppression of poverty and the fear of unemployment, which is roughly the same as that of poor farmers.

Therefore, small handicraftsmen are only slightly better than poor and lower-middle peasants. They also belong to the working class in cities and are one of the most popular and professional representatives in this era.

But Jiang Yan still asked, "Uncle He, aren't you the heir to Tan's cuisine?"

Hearing Jiang Yan ask this, He Daqing also reacted.

"Xiaoyan, you want to ask, since I am the heir of Tan's cuisine, how can I still be considered a small handicraftsman?"

Jiang Yan looked a little embarrassed when He Daqing hit his mark.

However, He Daqing obviously didn't notice Jiang Yan's embarrassment and opened his mouth to explain.

"My hometown is not from Sijiu City. My grandfather fled the famine and came to Sijiu City to make a living. At first, he worked as a runner in a restaurant. By chance, he worked as a servant in the Tan family, and then he had the opportunity to come into contact with the Tan family. vegetable.

"Because my grandfather was very talented, he was very popular with the chef of the Tan family at that time, so he passed on some Tan family cuisine, as well as some secret recipes and preparation methods of Tan family cuisine."

"After the Tan family declined, my grandfather was sent away. Later, he became a disciple of a Shandong cuisine master and learned the skills of Shandong cuisine."

"Strictly speaking, the Tan family cuisine passed down in our family is only a side branch and cannot be considered mainstream."

"Then why do you say that your family's food is Tan's food?" Jiang Yan asked again.

"This is not what I said when I was working as a chef. I just said this to build my own reputation. I was just trying to pull a tiger's skin and pull the flag to build up a good reputation for myself."

The so-called Kouzi Kitchen refers to the Five Elements and Eight Restaurants in the Four-Nine Cities in the early years. In addition to the official business with a formal plaque, there are also informal businesses, waiting for users to call. Each of the five cities has its own area. Because each of them lives in the same place, so Called "Kouzi". Kouzi's business is most famous for its kitchen business.

Generally speaking, if the residents of Sijiucheng have weddings, weddings, weddings, birthdays, etc., they usually do it at home. Weddings are said to be "sitting out of the street" and "sitting into the street" (referring to sitting in a sedan chair), while funerals are called "going out decently", and taking care of things at home is very important. Except for birthdays and new moons, which are not held in large numbers, and some things have to be done in restaurants, they are usually done at home.

Some families cannot afford to hire dedicated cooks, so they can only hire chefs from outside for such weddings and weddings. The chefs who take on such work are Kouzi chefs, and the dishes they make are also called Kouzi dishes.

Although Kouzi cuisine is a rough dish, far less sophisticated than other flavors from Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, no matter how much money is spent, the chef will arrange it to be several times better than that of a restaurant. For the same price, you will never be able to get the dishes cooked by Kouzi Kitchen at a restaurant.

Since the Kouzi chefs cook dishes in traditional northern styles, integrating the practices of North China and Liaodong, and they are inextricably linked to the imperial dining room of the previous palace, the skills of many Kouzi chefs are no worse than those of the restaurant masters, and some dishes Only Kouzi Kitchen can make it.

The chef of Kouchi adheres to the old rule of not opening a restaurant, not cooking in a restaurant, and specializing in "red and white Kouzi".

If it is true that Da Qing said that he is a chef, then there is no problem at all in dividing the ingredients into small craftsmen.

Jiang Yan had thought about this issue before. According to the prestige of our party among the people, who would dare to mess with this division? How many people are watching!

Besides, this composition classification has gone through several rounds of screening. Even if you passed the first round by luck, can all of them pass? Don't underestimate our party cadres.
