Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"Really? How does Master He's cooking compare to mine?"

He Yuzhu asked jokingly.

"Hehe~ Master, Master He's cooking skills are naturally not comparable to yours!"

"You are the strongest in my heart! My admiration for you is like a surging river..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Before Ma Hua could finish his praise, he was interrupted by him.

"Call all your fellow apprentices now... call Liu Lan as well. Each of you should ride a cart to Fengze Garden and help me pick up some people!"

There are not many cars in the steel rolling mill, but they have as many carts as you want.

Because they can make it themselves!

There were about 10 to 20 carts allocated at the canteen entrance for daily use.

"Okay, Master, we are ready."

Not long after, a group of ten people led by Ma Hua arrived at the entrance of Fengze Garden on tricycles.

……

"San'er, Si'er, Dazui, Afeng...you should go and bow to the masters at Fengzeyuan and thank them for their training!"

The young chefs will have their last training class at noon today and will be free to do as they please.

He Yuzhu asked his apprentices to say goodbye to several training masters including Mou Changxun, Wang Shizhen, and Wang Yiyu.

Take them to meet up with the ten people from MCA.

"Let me introduce you. This is your eldest brother Ma Hua, second brother Da Ge, third brother Jie Ba, and fourth brother Ma Gan'er..."

"You are all my disciples! My personal disciples! Get to know each other!"

He Yuzhu looked at the thirty disciples in front of him and felt a sense of pride!

“These are all my team members!”

And he is the kind of die-hard fan who will never betray!

If I can't run this buffet restaurant, I'd really rather find a piece of tofu and kill myself!

But for now, there are enough chefs, but we are still lacking some kitchen helpers, choppers and miscellaneous staff.

"You can't transfer them from the canteen of the steel mill, right?"

If dozens of people are transferred away at once, the cafeteria will be paralyzed!

Do we have to recruit from the society?

I’m afraid it’s too late!

Just when he was at a loss, everyone had finished introducing themselves to each other.

Liu Changhong looked at the other 19 new disciples...

As they all nodded, he stood up and said awkwardly:

"Master, I have something to ask you~"

"Ah? Tell me~ Why are you being so polite to me, Master!?"

He Yuzhu reacted and replied with a smile.

"Master, this is it~"

"Don't think that our cooking skills are not that good, but we still have some... some status in the cafeteria of our original unit."

"Each of us has more or less accepted two or three apprentices..."

"Do you think they can follow?"

As Liu Changhong spoke, he looked at his master's expression, fearing that he would think he was meddling.

And He Yuzhu...

Ecstasy!

It’s true that when you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow!

I was just worrying about where to find a group of "professional" helpers in the kitchen, cutting vegetables and doing odd jobs!

Isn’t this it?!

It’s right to think about it!

Before Ma Youfu became his disciple, his cooking skill was only level 65, but didn’t he also start accepting disciples?

In addition, the most important point!

His 20 apprentices belong to different units.

Transferring two or three people over at the same time will not affect the operation of the original unit’s canteen!

"Yes! It must be possible! Chang Hong, go and count how many people are willing to come!"

"I will ask the steel mill to send an official document to your original unit to handle the transfer procedures."

"Don't worry about accommodation. I'll find a way!"

He Yuzhu originally planned to keep Courtyard No. 2 for the next girl... ahem~

Looks like it needs to be enabled ahead of time!

"Okay~ Thank you, Master~"

Liu Changhong hurriedly checked with others about his apprentice's situation.

The statistics were completed in less than a moment.

"Master, including Senior Brother Nan Yi's disciple Liu Minggan, we have a total of 46 disciples coming over."

"Do you think it's difficult?"

Difficult?

He Yuzhu said that he was looking forward to having them come!

"Uh... it's a bit difficult!"

"It's alright! Just go ahead and call, I'll find a solution!"

He pretended to be embarrassed, but he was actually very happy~

Even though my disciples' loyalty is 100%, it doesn't stop me from playing some tricks!

As expected, all the disciples showed gratitude on their faces...

He Yuzhu looked at the 20 new disciples and asked:

"If anyone has a house in the old city, follow your senior brother to visit the shops in Wangfujing and get familiar with the environment."

"Whoever has no place to live in the Forty-Nine City, I will take you to the dormitory to settle down first."

In the end, including Jie Ba and Ma Gan'er, a total of 16 disciples followed him to Compound No. .

The other disciples followed Ma Hua to Wangfujing.

……

"Bing'er, Shao'er, you two can each have a room. I'll take care of you two girls."

He Yuzhu pointed at the two back rooms belonging to Jieba and said.

"Thank you, Master~"

Two girls didn’t expect to be able to live in a single room?

Everyone went to tidy up the house happily.

"There are 14 of you. There are seven rooms in total, three in the east wing, two in the west wing, and two in the back wing. Two people in one room is just right. You can arrange yourselves!"

"Okay, Master~"

After a brief discussion, everyone chose their own room.

At this point, all the rooms in Courtyard No. 1 of the five-courtyard quadrangle were occupied.

A total of 24 people!

Fortunately, He Yuzhu had greeted Brother Qiang from the Infrastructure Department in advance.

He was asked to lay a few more pipes in Compound No. 8 and install eight faucets...

Otherwise, water use would be really tight!

……

After everyone had packed up, He Yuzhu led them to a shop in Wangfujing.

The shop has been completely renovated:

The entire exterior wall is painted red, making it particularly eye-catching.

The "Red Star Buffet Restaurant" sign has been firmly hung above the door lintel, bringing a sense of mystery to the entire shop!

Passers-by would stop and look from time to time.

"Buffet? Restaurant!? What the hell?"

"No! I've never heard of it!"

……

The cashier counter, three-tier dining table, two-person dining table, four-person dining table... long benches, chairs, etc. in the shop are all built and neatly placed.

Even the side door that He Yuzhu had requested had already been polished, and it looked particularly beautiful and sturdy!

The stove in the kitchen has also been built...

Various pots were delivered this morning, waiting to be boiled...

"Wow~ Master, is this where we will be working from now on? It's no less beautiful than the kitchen at Fengze Garden!"

Fang Yishao couldn't help but sigh.

This is hard licking...that's a compliment!

"Ahem~ To be honest, this place is still a long way behind the professionalism of Fengzeyuan's kitchen!"

"But I have confidence that I will be able to surpass them in no time!"

"Do you have confidence?!"

He Yuzhu suddenly raised his voice and asked.

"Have!"

"Have!"

"..."

Everyone shouted in unison.

The scene suddenly became heated!

He Yuzhu raised his hands to stop the crowd from making noise.

He said loudly:

"Okay! That's what I want you to say!"

"Now I declare! Anyone who comes to work in the cafeteria will have their monthly salary increased by 20% on the original basis!"

"If the restaurant business is booming in the future, the salary will continue to increase!!"
