Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

He Yuzhu put his hands behind his back and went to the third canteen, which was farther away, to take a look. The canteen monitor of the third canteen was his nephew Gao Weiming. This kid was big and strong, and had a very simple mind. He was the son of his senior brother, and his talent in cooking was quite mediocre. Before Gao Weiming came to the steel mill, the senior brother asked He Yuzhu to take good care of his son.

In fact, He Yuzhu also likes this nephew very much. Although he is not very smart and has no talent in cooking, he can even be said to be dull. But this boy's loyalty can be said to be beyond doubt. Ever since He Yuzhu transferred this boy to the third canteen as the canteen monitor, in Gao Weiming's heart, his uncle has a much higher weight in his heart than his father.

The monthly salary is 37 yuan, which is quite good among his peers. I heard that he was looking for a wife during this period. When He Yuzhu walked into the third canteen, the canteen was in good order. Gao Weimin was instructing several apprentices to cut potatoes. Seeing his uncle coming, Gao Weiming hurried over and said, "Hey, uncle, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, but did not agree to his nephew's question. He looked carefully in the third canteen. The hygiene of the third canteen was very good. He Yuzhu felt that as a chef, he must keep his kitchen clean.

If the guests dislike the dishes cooked by the chef because of hygiene issues, he would really lose more than he gains. He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and said to Gao Weimin, "Well, the hygiene is very good." Gao Weiming nodded very honestly and flattered He Yuzhu, "It's all because of your good teaching, uncle."

He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, but then looked at Gao Weiming and said, "I didn't expect that you, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would flatter me, your uncle." Gao Weiming smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, uncle, I am speaking the truth in my heart. My father often said at home that you have the best talent among all the brothers and sisters, and often asked me to learn more from you."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "You are good, kid. A special guest will come to the steel mill in a few days. The dishes ordered by that guest are very tricky. You can learn from me and take the eighth-level chef certificate. Then your salary can be increased. What do you think?"

Gao Weimin was naturally very happy about it, and nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle Master, it's settled then. How about you give me some more guidance? I have been a level 9 chef for several years, and I just can't break through to level 8 chef no matter what! It may really be a problem of my talent, but I am really unwilling to accept it in my heart."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, kid, why don't you let your senior brothers train you well?" Gao Weiming said embarrassedly, "My father thinks I'm stupid and doesn't like to teach me well." He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head. When they were drinking and chatting together in the past, he often heard his senior brother complain about his son.

It's not that Gao Weimin is very lazy. On the contrary, when Gao Weimin realized that he was not talented enough, he was very diligent. But diligence is not everything in some things. Some jobs require talent. Mo Xiangtian, He Yuzhu's master, had also seen his apprentice and taught him well for a few days. In the end, he came to the conclusion that this kid was not suitable to be a chef at all.

But being a chef is a very popular profession these days. If you have such a skill, you will never go hungry no matter where you go. But no matter whether it is the eldest brother or Mo Xiangtian, they are very helpless with Gao Weimin. He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Come to our house tonight. It happens that your sister is having her birthday today. You can cook a few good dishes. You don't need to bring anything. I will give you some pointers."

Gao Weimin was naturally very happy. His uncle was now a level 4 chef. In this day and age, chefs above level 3 could prepare state banquets. He was a chef that could not be found. If he could give him some pointers, his cooking skills would definitely improve. His father was an impatient person. If he did something wrong, he would scold him.

Gao Weiming actually doesn't think that his talent is that bad. Maybe his talent is one reason, and his father's attitude when teaching him is also a reason. From childhood to adulthood, in his mind, his father is the representative of strictness. Seeing his father is like seeing a cat. He thinks that if his uncle teaches him, his cooking skills will definitely improve.

As he thought about it, a smile appeared on his face. He Yuzhu looked at his nephew and suddenly laughed. He slapped him on the shoulder and said, "What are you laughing at, kid?" Gao Weimin finally reacted and scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

This made He Yuzhu laugh. He shook his head speechlessly and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. Come to our house tonight and don't bring anything with you. If you dare to bring anything, you won't have to come to our house again." When he was learning to cook, the eldest brother took good care of him. In return, he had to take good care of the eldest brother's son.

Gao Weiming nodded quickly. After He Yuzhu left, the apprentice Guo Erzi next to him said, "Master Gao, do you think you could accept me as your apprentice?" Guo Erzi's face was full of hope. These days, if you have a close friend when working outside, you will have less trouble at work.

Gao Weiming smiled and shook his head and said, "With my skills, can I still accept apprentices? Forget it. Let me gradually improve my chef level first. Did you see my uncle just now? My uncle is a level 4 chef, and he only has three apprentices. I am only a level 9 chef now, the lowest level among chefs. If I accept apprentices, I am afraid that other masters will laugh at me after hearing about it."

Guo Erzi quickly flattered him and said, "You will definitely become a master chef in the future. I really want to become your disciple." In fact, Guo Erzi still had an idea in his mind. Gao Weiming was Director He's nephew. If he took Gao Weimin as his master, then wouldn't he, Guo Erzi, be Director He's grandson?

If Director He teaches him, it will be very important for his future. Even if Director He doesn't teach him, Guo Erzi is still Director He's disciple. He can be considered a top figure in the kitchen of the steel mill.
