Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaodang and Huaihua graduated.

At this time, the two were in Li Jianjun's office, along with Li Wenyu.

Looking at the coquettish Li Wenyu and Huaihua, Xiaodang was very envious. She had grown up and could no longer hug her Uncle Li like she did when she was a child.

Li Jianjun got rid of the two clingy people and took out two plans from the drawer.

"Uncle Li, I treat everyone equally. Wenyu already has a restaurant, and yours is ready, but you need to get it done."

Li Wenyu grabbed one and read it carefully, while Xiao Dang and Huaihua read one together.

After a moment the three of them exchanged glances.

Li Wenyu spoke.

"Dad, how about I go? It's too boring to stay in the hotel."

Li Jianjun shook his head.

"One for each of you. It's fair and just. You two can choose for yourselves."

Huaihua grabbed one of the books.

"Uncle Li, I want hot pot. I love hot pot. I want to open hot pot restaurants all over the country."

Xiaodang prefers fried chicken.

"Uncle Li, I'm going to open a fried chicken shop. I've even thought of a name for it: Xiaodang Fried Chicken."

Huaihua also said happily.

"Mine is called Sophora japonica hotpot."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"You decide what to call it. After you have two days off, start looking for a place. Then submit your budget and find employees. There are a lot of migrant workers at the train station."

Li Wenyu said.

"When the time comes, you can leave the training to me. I have people who specialize in training."

Li Jianjun did not interfere too much.

"Go ahead and relax."

After the three of them came out, they got into Li Wenyu's car.

Huaihua said excitedly.

"Doudou, I really envy you. Not only can you drive, but you also own a car."

Li Wenyu smiled.

"What's there to envy? When you open the store and make money, tell my dad and he will definitely give you one too."

Huaihua nodded.

"You have to teach us when the time comes."

Li Wenyu shook his head.

"I'm afraid I don't have much time to teach you. Let Wenbin teach you when the time comes. He learned it with me."

Huaihua asked curiously.

"Where's that brat Wenbin?"

Li Wenyu replied helplessly.

"I don't know. He's been acting mysterious lately. I guess he went to see Tong Sibo. They have a good relationship."

Xiao Dang asked at this time.

"Doudou, how long has it been since you returned to the courtyard?"

Li Wenyu thought about it.

"I took over after graduation. Apart from the Chinese New Year, I have no other time to work."

Huaihua suggested.

"Why don't we go back and take a look? I haven't been back for a long time. I can also go and see He Chenguang and Manfu and the others."

Li Wenyu nodded.

"Okay, after you finish watching, come to my restaurant. That's where we'll eat lunch."

Xiao Dang said.

"Doudou, let's stop at a shopping mall. Huaihua and I will buy some things."

Huaihua asked.

"Sister, what are you buying?"

"We have to buy some things when we go back. After all, we still have grandma. We haven't seen her for such a long time. It would be bad to go home empty-handed."

Huaihua's only impression of her grandmother was that she threw a tantrum.

The three of them returned to the courtyard again. Xiaodang and Huaihua were carrying things in their hands. It was nothing, just some food. After all, their common impression was that grandma was a big eater.

Today is not a rest day, so there are not many people in the hospital.

The three aunts sat at the door and chatted with a group of aunts.

"There are fewer and fewer people in our courtyard, and many people have moved out."

"Third Aunt, you can move out, it's not like you don't have the ability to do so."

The three aunts waved their hands.

"Just let the younger one move out. We are used to living here. We would feel uncomfortable if we move out."

When I raised my eyes, I saw three little girls coming in.

"Doudou, why are you back? Xiaodang and Huaihua are back too?"

The three of them greeted these aunts.

"Third Grandma, let's come back and see you while you chat."

After saying that, the three of them went straight to the middle courtyard.

The three aunts sighed.

"Time flies. When Doudou was born, I was the one who took care of him during the confinement period."

An old lady said jealously.

"This Li Jianjun is rich, but he doesn't even bother to help us neighbors. Third uncle is really good at foresight. Now he is making a lot of money by following Li Jianjun, right?"

The third aunt ignored the man. There were many people suffering from conjunctivitis, and she couldn't stop others from talking.

"You guys chat, I'm going back to cook."

The three of them came to the central courtyard. Li Wenyu went to the He family, and Xiaodang took Huaihua and carried some things to the Jia family.

Li Wenyu came to the door of He's house and shouted.

"He Chenguang, He Chenguang, come out, I see you coming."

At this time, a sound was heard in the house.

"Who's looking for Chen Guang?"

A slightly fat man opened the door. It was Sha Zhu who had not been seen for a long time.

"Uncle He, are you at home? Where is He Chenguang?"

When Sha Zhu saw that it was Li Wenyu, he smiled and said.

"Doudou, Chenguang and Manfu are out and won't be back at noon. Come in and sit down."

Li Wenyu waved his hand.

"Uncle He, I won't go in if Chen Guang isn't here."

Seeing Li Wenyu about to leave, Sha Zhu hurriedly stopped her.

"Doudou, wait a minute, Uncle He wants to ask you something."

Li Wenyu stopped.

"What's the matter, Uncle He?"

Sha Zhu pulled Li Wenyu aside and asked in a low voice.

"Doudou, how much does your restaurant's chef make per month?"

Li Wenyu did not answer him, but asked instead.

"Uncle He, have you figured it out?"

Sha Zhu sighed and said.

"Uncle He, I won't hide it from you. Although I'm a canteen director, which sounds good, my salary is probably not as high as that of a waiter in your restaurant. The steel mill is in a recession right now, so I can't raise wages.

Now Chen Guang has graduated. He doesn't want to work in a factory and says he wants to start a business. But running a business requires capital, and what I have saved is not enough.

Uncle He wants to ask you, if I work at your restaurant, how much can I get per month?"

Li Wenyu thought about it.

"Uncle He, this depends on your skills. Besides, are you really willing to give up the position of canteen director of the steel mill?"

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly.

"So what if I'm reluctant? There are rumors that the steel mill is going to close down. It's just right for me to come out now. I have a job and can help Chenguang."

Li Wenyu nodded.

"Okay, Uncle He, if you really want to do this, you can go to the store for an interview. It's nothing special. Just cook a few dishes and see how they taste."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry about that. Although I can't compare to your father and Nan Yi, I can definitely compare to Fatty. By the way, Doudou, can Uncle He take an apprentice? Don't worry, my apprentice's skills are not bad either."

After the fat man's incident, Shazhu reflected on himself and began to teach Ma Hua slowly.

There is never too many chefs in a restaurant, and Li Wenyu never refused.

"Sure, just bring it here. But Uncle He, I'm not looking down on you, but your current skills may not be as good as Uncle Fatty's."

Sha Zhu didn't think something was right.

"Doudou, you call Nan Yi uncle. Fatty is Nan Yi's apprentice. Why do you call him uncle too?"

Li Wenyu said.

"Let's talk about our own things. He's so old, it's not appropriate for me to call him brother. By the way, Uncle He, why didn't you go today?"

Sha Zhu said helplessly.

"The new deputy factory director is always picking on me, trying to get his relative to be the canteen director. I'm just trying to find some peace and quiet at home. I happen to have some time today, so why don't we go to the restaurant later and have you try Uncle He's cooking skills?"

Li Wenyu nodded.

"Okay, Uncle He, I just happened to be driving back, you can go with us later."
