Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The morning breeze was still a little cool, and He Yuzhu rode his bike and hurried to the restaurant.

But as soon as I stepped into the backyard, I couldn't see the busy kitchen helpers who usually worked there, and the backyard seemed particularly deserted.

He walked to the back kitchen door in confusion, but did not hear the familiar chopping sound.

He Yuzhu frowned, pushed the door open, and searched around the empty kitchen.

He saw Liu Zixing busying himself in front of the stove, so he quickened his pace and walked over to him: "Master Liu, what's going on today? Why did you suddenly take a day off?"

Liu Zixing turned around and saw that it was He Yuzhu, so he explained: "Zhuzi, you were on vacation yesterday, so I didn't inform you. You will also be involved in this matter today."

When he heard Liu Zixing say this, he was immediately confused and looked at him puzzledly: "Master Liu, what are you saying..."

Liu Zixing smiled slightly and said, "Someone from the government came to inform us yesterday that a working group will be sent here today, so Chef Wu arranged for everyone to have a day off."

"Oh, then I know what it is." He Yuzhu cupped his hands, "Master Liu, I'll go to the front hall to look for Master first."

Liu Zixing waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead! Anyway, there's not much to do in the kitchen today, I'll be here."

He Yuzhu turned and left, walked quickly to Wu Zhaoxiong's lounge, and knocked on the door gently.

When he heard the answer, he pushed the door open and saw Wu Zhaoxiong and Zhang Mao talking about something.

"Zhu Zi, you're here!" When Wu Zhaoxiong saw him, he stopped talking with Zhang Mao.

He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Find a chair and sit down! I'll finish talking to Zhang Mao first."

Wu Zhaoxiong said to Zhang Mao, "I have already explained the situation to you. The team sent here today is here to check the accounts. You should cooperate with them and don't make any mistakes."

Zhang Mao nodded to show that he understood: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the account book. They can check it."

Wu Zhaoxiong nodded with satisfaction and took a sip of tea: "I have always admired your abilities. I have recommended you to be the private manager of our restaurant."

When Zhang Mao heard the news, he immediately showed joy on his face. He stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Zhaoxiong.

"Thank you, Chef Wu, for your appreciation and recommendation of me! I will definitely run the restaurant well and will not waste your efforts."

Wu Zhaoxiong accepted his gift and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Well, your ability is worthy of this manager!"

He looked at Zhang Mao, and finally gave him a worried reminder: "Don't confront government officials head-on in the future. If you have any problems that you can't handle, come to me directly."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Zhang Mao glanced at He Yuzhu, "Chef Wu, I'll go out and check first to avoid any mistakes."

"Okay, go ahead!" Wu Zhaoxiong waved his hand, "I'll leave today's matters to you."

He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Mao's departing back, put down the teacup in his hand, turned around and faced Wu Zhaoxiong: "Master, what is the rule of this matter?"

Wu Zhaoxiong glanced at him and coughed lightly: "Zhu Zi, the working group came here today mainly to check our accounts in order to redistribute the shares."

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's great! If that's the case, doesn't it mean I have to pay you a salary and give you dividends?"

Wu Zhaoxiong nodded, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "That's the solution! From now on, I won't have to worry about the restaurant's revenue anymore."

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he thought about his income: "Master, won't my salary also increase?"

"Boy, do you think the money your master gives you is too little?" Wu Zhaoxiong pretended to be angry and glared at him.

He Yuzhu waved his hands quickly: "How is that possible? Why would I think so?"

Wu Zhaoxiong laughed and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, kid. You and Master Liu will cook lunch together at noon today. Perform well and let me taste your cooking skills."

He Yuzhu showed a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, I guarantee that everything will be arranged properly. I will make sure they will never forget this meal."

Wu Zhaoxiong knew that with He Yuzhu's craftsmanship, there would definitely be no problem, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"But Master, are there no other changes? Didn't you say anything about expanding the scale?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

He thought that the current restaurant was not large in scale, and after the joint venture it should receive support to expand its influence and drive other private enterprises to reform.

Wu Zhaoxiong put down his teacup, his eyes became deep: "Zhu Zi, you said you had no news. I see you are well-informed!"

He Yuzhu immediately understood that it was not that this had not happened, but that he had not mentioned it yet.

"Master, I really didn't go to ask about this. I was either in the kitchen or studying at night, so I didn't have time to ask for information."

Wu Zhaoxiong waved his hand to interrupt him and continued to explain: "I tell you that there is. We are already looking for a suitable place. Once things here are settled, we will move there."

He Yuzhu was about to speak when there was a knock on the door, followed by Zhang Mao's voice: "Chef Wu, the working group is coming soon!"

"Okay, we'll be there right away." Wu Zhaoxiong stood up, winked at He Yuzhu, and walked out of the lounge with He Yuzhu.

In front of the restaurant, Wu Zhaoxiong and the other two were standing on the roadside waiting, their eyes occasionally glancing into the distance.

Soon, the sound of rolling wheels was heard in the distance, and Hong Deyou was riding a bicycle, followed by his staff, slowly approaching.

Seeing Hong Deyou and his group, Wu Zhaoxiong stepped forward, extended his hand, and had a warm smile on his face: "Manager Hong, I didn't expect you to come so early. You've worked so hard."

Hong Deyou stopped the car, jumped out, held Wu Zhaoxiong's hand, and smiled: "Comrade Wu, your move this time is undoubtedly a strong support for us. We must respond actively and live up to your trust."

"Haha, no, no, now that we're here, let's go in and talk in detail." Wu Zhaoxiong said, and pulled Hong Deyou into the restaurant.
