"Stop, uncle. How do you know I don't have a salary? Now the people are in charge. How can apprentices there not have a salary? Where did you hear that? I'll go and sue them. Don't be afraid of getting in trouble. I won't mention you then."

"No, Zhuzi, this is not about whether you get paid or not. Look, even if you become a master, you still have to start as an apprentice to find a job. Isn't this a waste of time? If you go to the place I found for you, you will definitely become a master chef in three years. Besides, it's okay for you to hurry up now because the merchants are helping you. What will you do when the merchants stop helping you?

Also, if the business people help you so much, what will you do if one day they ask to switch houses with you?

When the time comes, I will drive you to the small house in front of them and occupy your big house. You will have nowhere to cry. Just listen to your uncle. I, your uncle, will not harm you!"

"Haha...really? Uncle, you can't lie to me! Would my aunt's family really do this? I don't really believe it." He Yuzhu's eyes turned, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. He immediately said to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai saw that He Yuzhu was about to be fooled and immediately increased his deception: "Look, when has the uncle ever cheated you? How many years have we been together? The merchants have only been here for a few days, right? Just listen to your uncle, I won't cheat you. Just wait and see, they will do this one day sooner or later. The uncle has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and the uncle can see what kind of people the merchants are in one night. You should have less contact with them in the future.

As for He Yushui, there is no need to worry about her. Let their family raise a little girl and send her back when they get impatient."

He Yuzhu had clenched his fists, but when he thought of his plan, he loosened his fists and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, I believe you. Where is your job? I can't go there right now. I need to talk to my master. He is looking for someone.

You have to give my master an explanation. The men in our city must do their job properly. Don’t you agree with this? ? "

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided that he had already said a lot today. He should not bother He Yuzhu anymore. This silly Zhu was just a donkey that went along with the wind. So he decided to stop here today. So Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said, "Zhuzi, you are the one who understands things. Okay, that's it. I'll wait for you to believe it!" After that, he turned around and went to work.

He Yuzhu spat as he watched Yi Zhonghai walk away, then went to work.

In a blink of an eye, a day passed, and He Yuzhu came back very late again tonight. After all, Cuihualou is a famous restaurant in the city, and there are still many people at night. He Yuzhu learned with Master Wang in the kitchen until very late. After the guests left, he still had to clean up with the apprentices.

Just as He Yuzhu was about to leave after cleaning, Master Wang stopped him and said, "Zhuzi, wait a minute! Manager Chen wants to see you."

He Yuzhu stopped and looked at his master and asked, "Master, do you know why Manager Chen wants me to do this?"

Manager Chen is the private manager of Cuihualou. Although Cuihualou has been jointly operated, as the first large hotel in the city of Beijing, there are still some benefits. The government has appointed a public manager to check the accounts every month, and the former private manager is still in charge.

"Since you came back, I found that your cooking skills have not deteriorated during your absence, but have improved a lot. I have told Manager Chen that you will officially become our Sichuan cuisine chef from next month! After this year, I think you will be able to graduate!"

"Really? Master, I don't feel that my cooking skills have improved." He Yuzhu scratched his head.

"Hehe... maybe you've finally gotten the hang of it. Your basic skills have already been honed, and with such a big incident this time, you may have gotten the hang of it all of a sudden. Your cooking skills feel more natural now. I used to think you could only reach level 4-5, but this time I think you can reach level 2. As for level 1... it depends on luck!"

As he was talking, Manager Chen walked into the kitchen, saw He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, your master told me that your master's character is guaranteed. Starting next month, you will be promoted to the third kitchen staff, with a salary of 32.5. How about it?"

He Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Manager Chen, thank you. I will work hard and not bring shame to my master or Cuihualou."

"Haha... who said that Zhuzi can talk so hard that he can kill people? Isn't he very good at talking? Haha... Zhuzi, although I believe in your master's character, the kitchen still needs to be explained. So you can cook the dishes tomorrow afternoon and let everyone taste them. Okay, Master Wang!"

"It's my duty! Manager Chen."

"Okay, then it's settled... By the way, there's one more thing, Master Wang. There will be a chef grade exam at the end of this month. How about Zhuzi taking it?

We have 5 places in Cuihua Building, I'll give one to Zhuzi!"

“That’s great, I think he can pass level 7 now. Level 6 is a bit difficult, but he should be able to pass it if he is well prepared.

Why don't you thank Manager Chen? Why are you standing there like an idiot all day long?"

He Yuzhu quickly thanked Manager Chen. Manager Chen said it was okay and asked He Yuzhu to go to him after lunch tomorrow afternoon to get the recommendation letter. After that, the three of them chatted for a while and then went home.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the courtyard, he did not go home directly, but went to the merchant house first and told Yi Zhonghai how he had been intercepted on the road in the morning.

After listening to what happened, Mr. Shang said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, I roughly understand what you mean, but you also have to tell me what you think. It's not that your uncle looks down on you, but you have been fooled by others in recent years and you don't use your brain anymore. Today is a good day. Talk about it!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and looked even more honest. He raised his head and a light of wisdom flashed in his eyes. He said, "Uncle, this is what I think. In a few days, He Daqing... um, my father will be back. These days, Yi Zhonghai has been bothering me. I will follow his wishes and play with him for a while. It would be best if he can give me a certificate or something. It doesn't matter if he has one or not. I will disgust him when my father comes back! Let this dead man buzz in my ears every day.

Do you think it's okay? "

Several people in the family looked at He Yuzhu in surprise. Shang Peng said, "Are you my brother Zhuzi? Although we haven't known each other for a long time, in my impression, brother Zhuzi should have punched Yi Zhonghai in the face directly. Now brother Zhuzi knows how to pretend to be nice. Haha..."

All the merchants laughed, and He Yushui laughed too when she saw everyone laughing.

He Yuzhu said at this time: "What does it mean to be empty? What is that? Stop laughing and tell me about it!"

"Hey! Brother Zhuzi, really, I advise you to read some books when you have nothing to do. A famous... um, just remember a famous person said that a person can be without a diploma, but he cannot be without culture."
