Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

Chapter 19 Becoming a Chef

Cuihualou has three floors in total. The second and third floors are private rooms, and the boss usually eats on the third floor.

When they arrived, they opened the door and went in.

The boss twitched his nose twice, stood up immediately, and stared at the fish in He Yuzhu's hand.

"It smells so good?"

"You really did this?"

He was a little bit unbelievable. Although he hadn't eaten it yet, the aroma was enough to show the quality of this dish.

He even suspected that it was Li Mingde who did it.

But on second thought, Li Mingde would not do such a thing.

"Come on, bring it here so I can try it."

He Yuzhu put the big plate on the table. The boss didn't say anything and immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Open your eyes wide, the fish is so delicious that it fills all your taste buds.

This level is too strong.

He loves delicious food and has eaten many dishes made by masters, especially Sichuan cuisine.

This boiled fish is definitely one of the top three dishes in his mind.

It feels better than what Li Mingde made.

Is this really the work of a 17-year-old?

It's simply outrageous.

He was completely impressed by the boiled fish made by He Yuzhu.

Then without saying anything, he immediately started eating with big mouthfuls.

After eating for a while, most of the fish had been eaten.

He burped, feeling a little unsatisfied and wanting to eat more, but his stomach was no longer able to hold any more.

"It's so delicious, so delicious. I haven't eaten so well in a long time."

The boss looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Master He, your craftsmanship is really amazing. I think you are even better than your master."

"I'm a man of my words. How about this? You don't have to start as a cook. Just become the head chef."

Li Mingde was very surprised. When He Yuzhu made the boiled fish, he knew that the boss should be satisfied. However, he did not expect that the boss was so satisfied that he directly promoted Zhu to head chef.

You have to know that when he was learning cooking, it took him more than ten years to become a chef.

How long has it been since the pillar?

It’s been less than a year since I entered Cuihua Building.

It's really hard to believe.

However, although he was surprised, he was still happy for He Yuzhu.

After all, this is his apprentice.

The apprentice is very capable, and the master is proud of it.

He Yuzhu was also a little surprised. The boss was really a sentimental person. He gave him such a position just because he enjoyed the meal.

However, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, his level was there and he still had the ability to be a chef.

And it won’t be long before his cooking skills are upgraded again, and being just a head chef would be an underestimation of him.

He said to his boss: "Thank you, boss. I will definitely work hard."

You still have to have the right attitude.

The boss continued, "I'll set your salary at 60 yuan a month. After all, it's just the beginning. Once you become more proficient, I'll raise it."

He Yuzhu nodded, "Boss, sure."

Li Mingde also nodded slightly. This salary was indeed very good. He had been a chef for so many years and his salary was only 80 yuan a month.

In an average small restaurant, the chef's salary is only around 40 to 60.

He Yushui had just been promoted from an apprentice to become the head chef, and it was already very good for him to get a salary of 60 yuan.

He is still young and has a lot of room for improvement.

Leaving the room, the two walked downstairs.

Li Mingde said with emotion: "Who would have thought that you would become the head chef less than a year after coming to Cuihualou."

"Zhu Zi, you are only 17 years old this year. This is the first time I have seen such a young chef."

“I was already over 30 when I became a chef, and I was still considered a young chef at that time.”

"Compared to you, I am nothing."

He Yuzhu said: "Master, it is because of your good teaching that I am where I am today."

Li Mingde patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I know myself. I didn't teach you too much. You are where you are today because of yourself."

"Don't be too proud in the future. You still have to keep your feet on the ground."

He Yuzhu nodded.

When we got downstairs, the diners were still waiting.

"Little chef, how are you doing? Have you become a chef? I'm looking forward to eating your boiled fish."

Li Mingde smiled and said, "That's probably difficult. My apprentice is now the head chef. If you want to eat his food, you have to go to the private room."

When the diners heard this, they were shocked.

An apprentice one moment and a head chef the next?

This is a big jump.

This young chef looks to be in his early twenties at most. Can he be the head chef?

You won’t see this in any restaurant.

Come to think of it, indeed, their boiled fish is quite delicious.

Although I haven’t tasted the food, it must be top-notch if it can satisfy the owner of Cuihualou and make him the head chef.

With this ability, it seems reasonable for him to become a chef.

But this is too young.

If you want to eat the food he cooks, you can only go to the private room.

One of the diners said, "Okay, let's have a private room. I must try the cooking skills of this young chef today."

"Chef, give me some boiled fish and some twice-cooked pork."

"I'll wait for you in the private room."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

There were also a few diners who ordered the same dishes and went up as well.

Of course, there are also some people who are watching and waiting for feedback.

When we returned to the kitchen, everyone gathered around and asked what the result was.

When they heard that He Yuzhu became the head chef, they were all dumbfounded.

This was completely beyond their expectations.

From an apprentice at the bottom of the kitchen to a senior chef, it was really a huge leap, and it was completed in an instant.

Also, the monthly salary is 60 yuan, which makes them very envious.

The salary of an average chef is only about 30 yuan, and the salary of a new chef is less than 30.

He Yuzhu now earned 60 yuan a month, and one person did the work of two of them.

How could they not be envious?

Especially those apprentices. We were all at the same level just a moment ago, and then in just a short while, you left us far behind. It's simply unacceptable.

The salary is still so high, which is even more unacceptable.

After adjusting their mood, they congratulated one after another.

The difference between a chef and a cook is that not only is their salary high, but their position is also important.

They need to listen to the chef in the kitchen.

He Yuzhu said a few words to them and then started working.

There are diners waiting to taste my cooking.

The chefs asked, "Why, someone ordered Chef He's dishes so soon?"

Li Mingde told everyone what happened outside, and everyone was even more shocked.

Just by virtue of a boiled fish dish that they had never had before, diners went to the private room to order his dishes.

It's really amazing.

In an instant, He Yuzhu's status in the kitchen rose a lot.
