Opening a restaurant is a good idea and they are here to learn.

“However, the boss is a chef himself, so it may not be easy to find a good chef.

" Fan Jinyou raised concerns.

"Indeed.

" Chen Xueru started ordering food, and ordered quite a lot of dishes.

The waiter next to him quickly reminded: "Sir, you ordered too many dishes. I'm afraid you two may not be able to finish them.

"It's okay, go ahead!" Chen Xueru ordered.

"OK.

“The waiter only gave a friendly reminder and would not discourage them too much so as not to cause resentment.

Although there were a lot of people at noon, the food was not served slowly.

At this time, He Yuzhu was instructing apprentices in the kitchen.

Except for two older chefs and kitchen helpers who stayed behind, all the other chefs and kitchen helpers became his apprentices.

We are all chefs and what matters is the craftsmanship.

He Yuzhu had examined them earlier and demonstrated his strength, and then his disciples came, and these people were naturally convinced.

My skills are not as good as those of other apprentices, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?

He Yuzhu watched Ma Hua cooking from the side, and only gave his comments after the dishes came out of the pot, and added: "Your cooking skills need to be further improved. If there is a chance in the future, I will open a branch for you and let you take charge.

"Master, how could I have that ability?" Ma Hua scratched his head to express his modesty.

“I’ll just follow you and do my best.

"You have been the canteen director for several years, and you can't even manage a store?" He Yuzhu glared at him, "As you have more and more fellow apprentices, you will have to accept apprentices in the future, and you will open a branch store sooner or later.

However, improvement of craftsmanship is necessary.

He Yuzhu looked at his apprentices and stressed: "Don't think too much if you don't have real skills. In the chef industry, real skills are needed.

“If you can’t meet the standards, just cook honestly.

he ordered.

"Yes, Master!" the apprentices answered respectfully. They understood the master's good intentions. The master's children did not inherit his cooking skills. At most, they would help in the kitchen occasionally.

“Well, when I have time I will compile a Sichuan cuisine encyclopedia that will include all Sichuan dishes, and you can help organize it then.

“He Yuzhu revealed his plan.

"Master, are you planning to..." Ma ** Yan was a little surprised.

"Of course I want to pass it on. I created a lot of Sichuan dishes, and I want to sort them out. Unfortunately, my children didn't learn to cook, so I can only record them in books, which can also be regarded as a skill inheritance for the He family.

"He Yuzhu explained.

They were talking in the kitchen. Since the private room was not used much, He Yuzhu seemed more relaxed.

Outside, Chen Xueru and Fan Jinyou tasted the dishes and praised, "Well, they are all delicious.

Fan Jinyou ate with gusto: "Shh, really, this spicy level is too good!"

"Waiter, please ask your boss to come over.

Chen Xueru put down her chopsticks and ordered.

The waiter came over and asked, "Excuse me, is there anything the customer is dissatisfied with?"

"No, I'm a friend of the boss, and I couldn't come yesterday because of something else.

Chen Xueru said with a smile, and was relieved to see the waiter.

"Please wait.

"The waiter turned around to inform the boss.

At this time, Chen Xueru laughed and said, "These waiters seem to be afraid of pillars!"

"It's different here than before. The situation is chaotic now. When can you take over your silk shop again?" Fan Jinyou changed the subject.

“It should be soon, the pilot has already started.

"Chen Xueru is full of expectations.

He Yuzhu came to the front hall, saw Chen Xueru, and said with a smile: "Oh, why didn't Boss Chen come yesterday?"

"I was delayed by something, so I'll make up for it today. I wish you a prosperous business!" Chen Xueru handed over a red envelope.

"Thank you for your kind words. I'll treat you today to make up for yesterday's banquet.

"He Yuzhu accepted the red envelope and then waived the bill.

"Sit down and let's have a drink?" Chen Xueru invited.

"Okay, bring me the full set of tableware.

"He Yuzhu instructed the waiter.

After sitting down, Fan Jinyou poured wine, and everyone raised their glasses to drink and started chatting.

("Zhuzi, what do you think if I plan to open a restaurant?" Chen Xueru supported the table with one hand and turned to look at He Yuzhu for advice.

)

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he understood what she meant and replied, "Of course, no problem at all.

"I want to find a chef. Do you have a suitable candidate?" Chen Xueru asked, obviously hoping it would be sometime in the future.

"Indeed, there was a former head cook in the second canteen of our factory, named Nan Yi, who was a nice guy.

"He Yuzhu did not regard his peers as rivals. They have studied Shandong cuisine and imperial cuisine together for many years and are now good friends.

Although Nan Yi has limited funds, if Chen Xueru invests and holds shares, it will be a good cooperation opportunity for him.

“He specializes in Shandong cuisine. If you plan to open a restaurant, we can become partners.

" Chen Xueru's eyes lit up, and then she smiled and said, "Brother Zhuzi, aren't you afraid of competition?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" He Yuzhu waved his hand. "Can't such a big city like Beijing accommodate a few restaurants?"

“Besides, my cuisine is Sichuan cuisine and yours is Shandong cuisine, there won’t be any conflict between the two.

"Well, thank you in advance.

We may need your help in matchmaking in the future.

" Chen Xueru then raised her glass in a toast.

He Yuzhu drank a few glasses of wine, tasted some food, and then stood up to say goodbye.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is 1979. The He family has reached a critical moment, as He Wenxuan is about to take the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination has been resumed for a long time and has now become normal. It is no problem for He Wenxuan to be admitted to university, but the problem lies in his future career direction.

Nowadays, universities no longer guarantee job placement, and He Wenxuan's family expects him to stay in Beijing, but He Yuzhu's insight into the future is undoubtedly an advantage.

Many industries will be opened to private enterprises, and state-owned enterprises and institutions may also be privatized in the future, so industry selection requires careful consideration.

He Wenxuan had his own ideas about this, and at a family gathering, he made his decision: "I want to be a navy man.

"..." This surprised the family.

Wen Li immediately objected: "Join the navy? Why?"

"Are you stupid from reading?"

"Marine soldiers rarely go home throughout the year. Do you still want to be a sailor? Life at sea is no joke, right?" Wen Li asked.

He Wenxuan argued: "With a century-old navy, our navy needs more talents.

" He turned to his father, He Yuzhu, for support.

Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu and urged, "Say something!"

He Yuzhu was not silent, but was thinking in his mind.

Although the current naval strength is relatively weak and faces many maritime challenges, especially the constant threat of **.

But he firmly believes that as a major country, China's shipbuilding will mushroom in the future with advanced technology.

Considering that He Wenxuan is eighteen years old and was born in January, he will only be in his early fifties in thirty years, which is the prime of his life.

So, He Yuzhu said: “Since you have chosen this path, you must be prepared to work hard.

If you are really ready, I will support your decision.

Wen Li retorted anxiously, He Yuzhu shook his head and said to his son: "The army is different from family. Once you join the army, it's like an arrow shot from a bow. There is no turning back.

If you want to leave, you'll be a deserter.

"Have you thought it through?" He Yuxuan answered firmly: "I have understood this truth a long time ago.

"Okay, let's do it!" He Yuzhu nodded, "I hope our navy can become stronger in the hands of your generation.

"Dad, don't worry!" He Wenxuan was excited.

Wen Li felt mixed emotions. He Yuzhu motioned for the children to leave. He sat next to his wife and put his arm around her shoulders: "The children are grown up and can no longer follow their mother's wishes.

We should respect and support their choices, even if they regret it in the future, it is their own choice.

"It's just too hard!" Wen Li felt sorry for the child.

"A man must endure hardships, and the army is like a furnace, no matter what goes in, what comes out is steel.

"He Yuzhu comforted his wife, "Don't we still have the family business your father has accumulated for them?"

"Do not worry.

" Wen Li sighed helplessly.

He Wenxuan applied for the Naval Academy. His academic performance was excellent, and he was successfully admitted after a physical examination and political review.

When he left home, he was wearing a red banner because enrolling in school meant joining the army. When his family saw him off at the train station, Wen Li finally couldn't hold back her tears.

He Yuzhu's eyes also turned red, after all, this was his son.

But as a man, he needed to comfort his wife.

At this time, my country was carrying out its fifth large-scale disarmament, but the introduction of talents did not stop. People like He Wenxuan, who had excellent college entrance examination scores and applied to military academies, were not affected by the disarmament.

In the future, He Wenxuan is expected to become a ship commander, and which type of ship he commands depends on his personal efforts.

He Yuzhu comforted him, “Don’t worry, you will be fine in the military academy.

Besides, Shandong Province is nearby, and we will come to see you when we are free.

"Wen Li looked at him resentfully when she heard that.

He Wenjia cried and tugged at the corner of He Yuzhu's clothes: "Dad, I want to see my brother too.

"Go, all of you!" He Yuzhu still needed to comfort his daughter, while the second son, He Wencheng, did not seem too sad, and was even a little excited. This made He Yuzhu a little worried, fearing that the second son would also join the army in the future.

The mother-in-law was quite understanding, so He Yuzhu could comfort them with peace of mind.

After sending my family home, the matter came to a temporary end.

He Yuzhu's Shuxiangyuan is now famous and has a constant stream of guests every day. Whether it is the service, dishes, environment or prices, they are all satisfactory, so customers often flock to it.

In particular, the pilot project in Qianmen Street was a success. He Yuzhu also often went to the countryside to purchase food ingredients, which indirectly promoted the development of the rural economy.

Most of the ingredients come from his mysterious space, saving a lot of costs.

Although the amount of tax is not small, which is a considerable burden for individual businesses, it has also promoted the rapid development of private contracting business in Beijing.

However, these are things of the past. Half a year later, He Wenxuan returned from vacation with a tanned skin. Wenli could hardly recognize him, and He Wencheng's excitement was gone.

Although He Wenxuan looked darker, he was in better spirits and thinner than before. Wen Li felt very distressed for him and quickly asked He Yuzhu to cook some delicious food.

As a father, He Yuzhu could only express his concern silently and turned into the kitchen to get busy.

He Wenxuan felt a little helpless. Although he did gain weight, his physique became stronger. The militarized management of the military academy required him to have strict training in addition to studying every day, and now he was full of muscles.

Looking at his mother's expression, he did not refute. After all, pursuing one's ideals is one's own business, and it is good enough to have the support of his family.

Now, whatever his mother said was the truth! His long-lost sister He Wenjia pestered him with questions, while He Wencheng seemed a little hesitant.

He Wenxuan knew his younger brother. He always paid attention to his appearance, and he might be a little discouraged when he saw his dark appearance.

In this regard, he decided not to persuade him for the time being. After all, his brother's ideal had not yet been finalized, and it would not be too late to raise it after he took the college entrance examination. After all, his brother was four years younger than him.

After the family had dinner, He Yuzhu called He Wenxuan out for a talk. This was a conversation between men.

"How is it?" He Yuzhu asked, "Is it hard?" He Wenxuan replied, "Although it is hard, I feel fulfilled.

Dad, don't worry, I will stick to it.

"This is my own choice and I will stick to it.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and said, "Our navy is in a difficult situation right now, but I believe there will be a turnaround in the future.

When you are studying ship command, you must pay attention to scientific and technological progress, because the future development of the navy will inevitably rely on scientific and technological progress.

He Wenxuan looked at his father in surprise. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Why, shouldn't I, a chef, understand these things?"

“No, I just…” He Wenxuan was indeed surprised by his father’s knowledge. How could a chef be so far-sighted and able to talk about technology?

"Don't forget, although I am a chef, I used to work in a steel plant!" He Yuzhu recalled, "When the public-private partnership was just launched, I was only 17 years old. At that time, those experts were regarded as gods by us, and the technicians followed them to learn, hoping to learn more.

“We may be behind in technology now, but that won’t always be the case.

Isn’t there a saying that goes ‘a century of navy’?”

“We couldn’t build warships back then, and we can’t build top-notch ones now.

Such shortcomings cannot exist forever.

He Wenxuan had recovered at this moment, and he promised: "I understand, I will continue research in this direction, and the teacher also suggested so.

"Well, you specialize in tactics, so you need to have a broad vision, but safety always comes first, understand? On the sea, unlike on land, those who drown are often those who can swim.

"I understand!" He Wenxuan nodded in response. He did not feel annoyed by his father's teachings. Instead, he felt warm in his heart.

When he decided to join the army, it was his father who supported his decision. His father once said that one should be the master of one's own life.

“Well, go talk to your mother, she cares about you the most.

"He Yuzhu patted his son's shoulder and said, "She is your relative."

"Yes!" He Wenxuan turned and went into the house.

At this time, He Wencheng quietly came over, He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and lit it, and asked: "What's wrong with you today, you're so weird?"
