I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

The couple rushed out of the kitchen to question the fat man. The dishes on the menu had not been changed, and the ingredients were all purchased from the same store, so why did the taste become wrong?

The fat man was also confused! He also knew that the problem was with the seasoning. But the seasoning his master Sha Zhu brought over looked no different from the ones sold outside? But the taste of the dishes made was completely different!

"Boss, boss lady! The problem must be with the seasonings. The seasonings for Sichuan cuisine are all prepared by my master and then handed over to us. We have no access to them. We don't know what is mixed in them!" The fat man said frustratedly. He thought he had grown strong, but his master kept the most crucial trick.

"As chefs, don't you deal with these condiments every day? Can't you tell what's in the condiments? Smell it carefully and taste it." Yu Li was immediately anxious when she heard it! It turned out that this silly Zhu was not stupid! He was even on guard against his own apprentice.

The fat man shook his head and said, "Even if you can identify all the ingredients, if you don't know the ratio, the taste will still be different."

Yan Jiecheng immediately collapsed in his chair upon hearing this, his mind in a mess. He was about to make back his investment in the next few months, and there were still many days to make money. He didn't expect to be tricked by Shazhu!

"Why are you still standing there? Come with me back to find Shazhu."

Yu Li pushed her husband with her hand. Yan Jiecheng stood up quickly, and the two of them ran towards Nanluoguxiang in panic.

At the same time, Xiaodang was also very anxious. After a short training at the Grand Hotel, she was sent to a hotel in Hong Kong as one of the foremen for internship. The hotel required them to go back and get their household registration books, and apply for visas to Hong Kong for all 15 of them.

Her household registration booklet is with her mother Qin Huairu. As long as she says she wants to apply for a visa to go abroad, her family will link her to her sister and will try their best to obstruct her trip.

She was so anxious that she kept turning around in circles in the east ear room! Although she knew that the household registration book was locked in that cabinet, Jia Zhang, the back roommate, was at home every day, so she couldn't do it at all.

She stomped her feet, opened the door and went to the backyard. She saw her stupid father lying on the recliner in front of the back room, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan.

She thought about it and decided to ask her silly father to help her. Now in this family, only her silly father treated her equally.

"Silly Dad, I beg you for one thing. But don't tell them, otherwise, I'll be dead." Xiao Dang squatted in front of Sha Zhu, shook his arm with his hand, leaned over and spoke softly.

"What's the matter? I don't have any money. Your mother is a Pixiu, she only takes in money but never spends out. Your silly father's pocket is the same as yours, you are a pair of poor people." Sha Zhu waved his fan and said to her sarcastically.

"Silly dad, can you help me get my household registration book out? The big hotel where I work needs it." Xiao Dang gritted his teeth and told him his purpose.

"You can ask your mom for it, right? Why don't you let them know? You want the household registration booklet, do you want to secretly register for marriage?" Sha Zhu continued to talk nonsense. He was still nice to Xiao Dang, unlike that white-eyed wolf club.

"Our hotel is sending us to Hong Kong to learn hotel management experience, and we need to take our household registration books to go through the formalities. You know my grandma and the others will definitely not agree to my leaving, so I'm begging you to help me."

Xiao Dang's eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry. This was her only chance to leave this family, and she must seize it firmly.

When Sha Zhu heard the word "Hong Kong", his playful smile suddenly turned serious. He immediately had a premonition that Xiao Dang also wanted to leave this family! When she arrived in Hong Kong, it was probably impossible for her to come back.

"Xiaodang, your silly father can't bear this responsibility! I will give it to you secretly, but if something goes wrong, your Jia family will hate me for the rest of your life." Sha Zhu sat up from the recliner and said to Xiaodang solemnly.

Shazhu is not stupid! On the contrary, he is very smart. Taking the household registration book is a small matter, but if Xiaodang never comes back, he cannot bear the responsibility.

"I beg you, silly dad! As long as you help me once, I will definitely come back to repay you."

Xiaodang's eyes were already filled with tears! She fell to her knees with a plop, holding onto Shazhu's arm and begging desperately.

Sha Zhu's expression kept changing! He gritted his teeth, stood up, lifted the curtain and went into the house. When Xiao Dang saw this, he wiped his tears and stood up and walked into the house.

"Return it back immediately after use! Your silly dad is taking a huge risk this time, you should be aware of this."

Sha Zhu opened the drawer of the cabinet and handed her a household registration book. Xiao Dang quickly stuffed it into his trouser pocket and covered it tightly with his hands.

"Thank you, silly dad! I will definitely come back to honor you." Xiao Dang bowed to Sha Zhu and said excitedly.

The two came out of the back room, and Xiao Dang hurried back to his unit to hand in his household registration book. As soon as Sha Zhu sat down, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, he saw Yan Jiecheng and his wife coming over from the moon-shaped doorway, sweating profusely.

"Sha Zhu! No, Master He. My husband and I apologize to you! We just listened to the bad words of a villain, it was all a misunderstanding. Do you think we should just keep everything as before?" Yan Jiecheng bowed his head and came up to light a cigarette for Sha Zhu.

"Hehe! Misunderstanding? What did you two say a few days ago? You are a small business and can't afford to hire a great god like me. Now that business is not good, you can afford it? This matter is not negotiable!" Sha Zhu shook his head and rejected their request.

"How about this? How much is your Sichuan seasoning per pound? Can we buy it from you?" Yu Li rolled her eyes and thought of a win-win solution.

"Hey! I won't sell it to you no matter how much money you offer! Let's go! Stop wasting time here and disturbing my sleep."

Sha Zhu waved the palm leaf fan in his hand and started to chase them away. Yan Jiecheng and his wife had no choice but to leave the backyard dejectedly.

As soon as the couple left, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang rushed back in a hurry.

"I just saw the couple from the Yan family coming to see you. Do they want you to go back to the restaurant? Did you agree to them?" Qin Huairu asked impatiently.

She was in the west wing of the central courtyard, watching the eldest and his wife of the Yan family enter the backyard. She was overjoyed! But she was afraid that Sha Zhu would agree without even discussing the conditions. She hurried over to find out the situation.

"How can I agree to them? I don't want to deal with them in the first place..." Sha Zhu lay down comfortably again and replied casually.

"Okay! Wait until the couple comes again, then I can propose conditions." Qin Huairu calmed down immediately. The couple deserved to lose money again.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife returned to the west wing of the front yard in a depressed mood. Yan Bugui was fiddling with his electric fan, and when he saw that the couple looked listless, he asked them why.

After these two people explained the matter, Yan Bugui thought about it for a moment and then he had an idea in his mind.

"When the restaurant just opened, I opposed you hiring Sha Zhu as the chef. But you just wouldn't listen! We have been neighbors for so many years, and you still don't know what kind of person he is? Add to that the Jia family, this restaurant will be ruined by them sooner or later!" Yan Bugui began to proclaim his foresight.

"What should we do now? The kitchen is short of Sichuan cuisine seasonings and all the guests have run away!" Yan Jiecheng looked sad and asked his father for help.

"How difficult is that? Have you forgotten He Daqing from the main house in the central courtyard? As long as we can ask him to take action, all problems can be solved." Yan Bugui said confidently.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it? This father must be more capable than his son." Yan Jiecheng clapped his hands and almost jumped up with joy.

"Will this work? He Daqing is almost seventy years old, right? Can he still work?" Yu Li still felt unsure when she thought of He Daqing in the Intermediate Court.

"Lily, you don't know! The He family's cooking skills are inherited from their ancestors. Sha Zhu's cooking skills were taught to him by his father. Let's invite him to be the kitchen consultant of the restaurant. We just need to ensure the quality of the dishes. The dishes will still be cooked by Fatty, and He Daqing can supervise from the side."

Yan Jiecheng quickly introduced his wife. As long as He Daqing agreed to come, that silly Zhu would be nothing! I'll let you show off!

"You two go back to the restaurant first, and I'll take you there in the evening. Lao He and I have a good relationship. If you two are sincere, this will definitely work out."

When Yan Bugui and his wife were planning to open a restaurant, he had planned to ask He Daqing to hire the chef. But the two chose Sha Zhu! This guy is both smart and unscrupulous. Can you two beat him?

When it was time for dinner, Yan Bugui, holding a bowl of food in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, went to the main room in the central courtyard to find He Daqing.

The neighbors along the way were all puzzled! Why did the sun rise from the west? When had Yan Laokou ever been so generous?

"You are a fool! Tell me what you want from me?"

He Daqing was also serving dishes to the table. Seeing Yan Bugui acting like this, he knew that he must have something to ask of him.

"Let's drink and talk!"

Yan Bugui put the food and wine on the table and sat down immediately. When he saw He Daqing holding a wine glass, he quickly unscrewed the bottle and poured it for He Daqing.

The two drank and talked, and Yan Bugui exaggerated the story. Sha Zhu was the chef and did nothing, and brought food home every day. His daughter-in-law said a few words, and Sha Zhu quit. Now the hotel is in crisis, and I hope He Daqing can come out and save the situation.

"This kid has completely forgotten the rules of this industry. But I am too old to cook at this age. You should ask for help from someone else!" He Daqing shook his head and refused!

Cooking in a restaurant is very labor-intensive. It's okay for him to cook a few dishes, but his hands and feet are definitely not as nimble as those of young people.

"You don't have to cook! You just need to stand by and give some instructions. And I'll have to ask you to take care of the special seasonings for Sichuan cuisine."

Yan Bugui stated his main purpose without revealing his feelings. If He Daqing could reveal the recipe of the seasoning, then the Yan family would no longer be afraid of being manipulated by others.
