Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

I came here to thank you for your care during this time. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude to you. "

Although he was seriously ill, Jia Dongxu understood the concern of others.

Master Yi Zhonghai ran around for him and even helped buy the ingredients for stewing chicken soup, which made Jia Dongxu deeply grateful.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flickered. He was pleased that his efforts had finally paid off. Jia Zhang's complicated personality was no match for his apprentice.

He said half jokingly and half seriously: "Don't say that, you are my apprentice, and it is my responsibility to take care of you. When the master gets old, he may still rely on you.

After all, once a teacher, always a father. "

In response to these affectionate words, Jia Dongxu responded solemnly: "Master, please rest assured. No matter when, as long as you don't mind, I will always be filial to you like a child, and it is my duty to serve you."

These words from Yi Zhonghai deeply touched his heart.

Looking at Dongxu at this moment, he liked him even more: "Okay, there is no need to talk about the kindness between teachers and students. Can you work now?"

Yi Zhonghai examined the condition of his apprentice.

Although his complexion had mostly recovered, he knew that Jia Dongxu's body would need some time to recover due to long-term bed rest, so he couldn't help but still feel a little worried.

"Master, I can go to work today.

It's not good for you to keep taking leave, I want to go to the factory with you. "

Jia Dongxu spoke with great discretion, knowing full well that he had helped Yi Zhonghai a lot during this period.

"Okay, just follow me to the factory. Don't worry too much about becoming a regular employee. Just focus on learning the skills first.

If you have real skills, you may have a chance in the next upgrade exam."

In order to comfort his apprentice and prevent the setback in the assessment from affecting his mood, Yi Zhonghai comforted him.

Jia Dongxu thought carefully and replied: "Master, please arrange it."

...

In the early morning after the rain, He Yuzhu and his daughter Yu Shui had lunch together, and then planned to go to work.

I happened to meet Xu Damao who was going to school.

However, today, when he saw He Yuzhu, Xu Damao chose to remain silent, as if he was intentionally avoiding him, and walked around He Yuzhu and went straight out of the courtyard.

He Yuzhu did not take this seriously and only regarded this occasion as an opportunity to continue to improve his ability to control his will.

……

Hongbinlou, due to the two-day holiday, the chefs and waiters arrived much earlier than usual today in order to clean up the environment early and prepare for a busy day.

The dust accumulated on the table and between the dishes, as well as the meticulous cleaning and inspection of every corner in the kitchen.

The reason why Hongbinlou has such a high reputation is undoubtedly that it pays great attention to details.

When He Yuzhu walked into Hongbin Building, he greeted the boss Mr. Yang at the front desk, then walked to the backyard and started working with the workers.

Although in theory the chef does not need to get involved in such trivial matters, the young and inexperienced He Yuzhu knows that in order to avoid jealousy in the kitchen, he must keep a low profile.

Besides, doing this extra work would allow him to hone and improve his cooking skills, so it would not be a loss for him at all.

The colleagues have long been familiar with Master He's personality. Seeing him integrate into the team and work together, although they did not praise him verbally, they all secretly admired Master He's behavior in their hearts.

This reflects a certain level of professionalism.

After more than half an hour, the cleaning and tidying work was almost completed.

After putting down the things at hand, He Yuzhu thought of the fish reserves in the space, and a new idea came to his mind, and he walked to the front hall. "Boss Yang, are you available? I want to discuss something with you."

Hearing this, Yang Guotao, who was concentrating on looking at the accounts, handed the account book to the person next to him and took He Yuzhu into a private room.

He knew clearly what the people in the backyard thought of Zhuzi - this young man had superb cooking skills and outstanding talent, and was humble and low-key. There was no need to explain how much Yang Guotao loved Zhuzi. Even though his status was slightly lower than that of the chefs in Hongbinlou, his evaluation of him was no less than theirs.

"Zhu Zi, just tell me what you want to say."

“Boss Yang, I like fishing, but my sister and I are the only ones at home, and sometimes we can’t consume all the fresh fish we catch.

I would like to ask if our store will accept any excess fish. "

After hearing this, Boss Yang was slightly surprised.

He had not expected He Zhu to bring up such a thing.

In fact, it is not unacceptable, but the main consideration is that -

Although he was very confident in He Zhu's cooking talent, based on his usual fishing experience, he would only catch three or four big or small fish at most.

Hongbinlou itself has a tradition of cooking fish and relies on the demand for live fish.

However, their demand is more for larger fish.

Small fish, no matter how many there are, are of little value unless they are very fresh.

However, seeing He Zhu's eyes and realizing that he might have harvested an unusual trophy, Yang Guotao decided to accept these small fish to help the brother and sister and add diversity to the kitchen meals. "Zhuzi, if you have any fish, bring it to me. I will pay according to the market price."

He Yuzhu seemed to see through his thoughts and continued, "Boss Yang, I actually have quite a lot of fish. The big fish weigh about 100 kilograms, about 40 of them."

Hearing this, Yang Guotao's eyes suddenly lit up.

This scale is extraordinary.

Small fish are not expensive, but large fish are a different story.

Fresh large fish are not common in today's supply chain, and even for him as a shop owner, there are not many reliable sources of supply.

Although these forty or fifty fish were not a huge order for Hongbinlou, the weight was pleasing enough to change their menu choices.

According to Zhuzi, most of these are large fish weighing two kilograms! This type of product is not widely circulated in the market and is usually purchased directly by the kitchens of various restaurants.

"Yes, if Boss Yang wants it, I can get it tomorrow. I have it at home."

Yang Guotao finally came to his senses at this time.

Nodding repeatedly, he said: "Yes, Zhuzi, these fish of yours are all good stuff!"

There is no need for any additional explanation. I believe that as a chef, Zhuzi understands its value when cooking every day.

Hongbinlou does not have much fresh fish in stock, and many fish dishes have daily sales limits, so once they are sold out, they are out of stock.

These fish undoubtedly brought a lot of extra income to Hongbinlou.

Yang Guotao said sincerely: "Zhu Zi, there is no need to worry so much between us.

If these fish are sold to you at market price, you will definitely suffer a loss.

How about this, I raise the price by 20% based on the market price, do you think that's appropriate?"

If he sells it himself, he may be able to sell it at a higher price, but it is not as convenient as buying it directly from a restaurant like Hongbinlou.

He felt the price was very fair. "Master He, let's just go by the market price.

We are all family, and Hongbinlou is doing well, so I benefit from it too."

Boss Yang said.

For him, a difference of 10 to 20 percent would not have much impact. After all, the 5 million yuan given by the chef was more than enough for his expenses.

But he is still working at Hongbinlou, and there is obviously no problem for him to maintain a good relationship with Boss Yang.

Hearing Zhuzi's idea, Boss Yang's heart moved slightly.

This young man has an open mind and is willing to share the good fortune of Hongbinlou, which shows that he truly regards this place as his home.

"Okay, Zhuzi! I won't treat you unfairly.

As long as you stay in Hongbinlou, I won't let you down. "

Yang Guotao promised sincerely.

He Yuzhu was filled with gratitude when he heard this. Not only was he talented, but he now had a close working relationship with his master, Chef Li. This was an intergenerational inheritance for chefs, and Boss Yang also understood this after so many years in the catering industry.

Although he knew that his master, Master Li, and Zhuzi had a deep affection for each other, he still had some plans in mind.

As long as you take good care of the pillars, Master Li will be willing to stay here.

If Hongbinlou adds more chefs in the future, its reputation will be even greater than it is now.

After saying goodbye to Boss Yang, He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen, where Chef Li Baoguo happened to be there.

As one of the three giants in the store, they don't have to work with ordinary chefs.

Coming to greet the master, He Yuzhu asked, "Master, how are you these days?"

"Well, Zhuzi, are you busy these days?"

Li Baoguo asked with concern, considering Zhuzi's busyness last week.

Zhuzi responded and recounted his experiences over the past two days in detail, including spending 195 million on purchasing books.

Hearing this, Li Baoguo's eyes flickered: "Is the money on hand enough to spend? If not, just come to me directly. You and Xiaoyu are growing up, so you must not delay because of this."

"Master, please rest assured that there is enough. If it is really difficult, I will bring Xiaoyu to you for help."

He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

He knew that this was his master's concern for him, and he felt warm in his heart.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Baoguo laughed and rebuked: "Speaking of Xiaoyu, I told Master's wife the last time I went home that Xiaoyu will move in after she enrolls. Master's wife is very excited and looks forward to meeting her as soon as possible."

So he said, "How about Master, I bring Xiaoyu to visit you this week?"

Understanding the feelings of his master and mistress, He Yuzhu came straight to the point and made a proposal.

"Don't mention the word trouble. There is no need for many words between master and disciple. If you are free, just come over."

The matter is settled.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll go back and tell Yulu. She was also very happy when she mentioned that she was going to visit you and Master and his wife last time."

The day passed quickly and the night gradually deepened.

After leaving Hongbin Building, He Yuzhu went straight to Master Yang Peiyuan's residence.

However, this time he did not go through the main entrance. Instead, he made a big circle and quietly approached the backyard wall of the courtyard.

When there were only two or three figures left behind the back wall, a voice suddenly sounded: "Boy."

He is his master.

Realizing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but touch his nose, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he was discovered relatively late.

Although he was seen, he did not feel ashamed.

So, he put away his hidden tracks, used the Light Body Technique to jump onto the nearly three-meter-high courtyard wall, landed smoothly and silently into the courtyard. "Master, I can't escape your discerning eyes."

This scene occasionally brings some pleasant interactions to He Yuzhu and Yang Peiyuan, the master and apprentice - when He Yuzhu can perform kung fu without being noticed by his master, it means that he has really made progress.
