Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

Chapter 1 Watching the Tide of Qiantang River

In the spacious and bright kitchen of the Wheeldon Hotel, five-star hotel chef He Yuzhu is busy preparing dinner dishes.

His technique is skillful, and every time he cuts vegetables and cooks, he reveals his love and concentration on cooking.

However, apart from this concentration, his mind quietly drifted to another world.

Just now, he took advantage of a break from work to secretly watch the TV series "Love in the Courtyard".

The story in the play touched his heart, especially He Yuzhu, who had the same name as him. Facing Qin Huairu's family of blood-sucking worms, he still maintained his inner kindness and persistence.

He couldn't help but mutter: "This idiot Zhu is really stupid. If it were me, I would just dump Qin Huairu's family of blood-sucking worms and go to Hong Kong to reunite with Lou Xiaoe and He Xiao..."

Before he finished speaking, a stern voice suddenly came from behind him: "He Yuzhu, what are you doing? You actually have time to watch TV series during work hours?

No wonder someone reported you for being bored? Did I spend $300,000 a year to invite you to my Wellton Hotel to watch a show?"

Boss Wang's voice was like thunder, causing He Yuzhu's hands to tremble and he almost cut his fingers.

He turned around and faced Boss Wang, who had a furious look on his face, feeling angry.

"Damn it, who reported me... Boss Wang, you've already said this, when have I ever ruined your business? Are you going to buy me for 300,000? I'm not your slave..."

His work performance has always been excellent, he just reads some novels or watches TV dramas in his spare time to spice up his life. Boss Wang even wants to control this, he really thinks of himself as a slave.

He turned around and faced Boss Wang, who had a furious look on his face, with the anger in his heart burning like a flame.

"Boss Wang, you should think about what you said with your conscience. I, He Yuzhu, have worked at the Wellton Hotel for many years. I have always done my best and have never been careless.

Are you going to blame me just because I watched some TV series during my break from work?

Can a salary of three hundred thousand a year buy out my freedom and make me your slave?"

He Yuzhu's voice was filled with anger that was difficult to conceal.

He recalled the countless days and nights of hard work he had put in for the hotel's reputation and credibility, striving to do his best every time and working until midnight.

He never thought that all his hard work would be negated because of being reported.

As a chef at a five-star hotel, his job is to ensure that every dish is prepared to the highest standards, which he has done.

But life is not just about work, he also needs some diversion, and watching TV series in his spare time is his way to relax and adjust his mood.

It never occurred to him that this would be seen as disrespect for the job.

"You...you...you watch TV series during working hours, and you think you're right?" Boss Wang's voice trembled with anger. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. In anger, he raised his right hand and slapped He Yuzhu in the face.

He Yuzhu was staggered by the sudden slap and his cheek felt burning with pain.

The anger in his heart was instantly ignited, and an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.

"Pa!" He Yuzhu slapped him back without any hesitation.

His eyes were filled with anger, and his voice became strong due to excitement, "Damn it, I quit. I am the chef you hired, not your slave."

After he finished speaking, he quickly took off his chef's uniform and threw his chef's hat hard on the ground.

Then, he walked around Boss Wang, who was shocked, and strode out of the Wilton Hotel.

After leaving the hotel, He Yuzhu took a deep breath of fresh air. He felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and freedom.

Finally he was free. Having worked as a chef for nearly ten years, he was really tired of being surrounded by fire and fumes every day.

Now that Boss Wang has given him this opportunity to be fired, he will of course choose to take advantage of the situation and leave this place that makes him feel depressed.

He thought about how he had been in Hangzhou for so long but had never truly appreciated the beauty of the city, nor had he seen the Qiantang River rise in tide.

He remembered seeing the spectacular sight of the Qiantang River rising tide on TV when he was a child, and he was filled with yearning for that river.

I have saved a certain amount of money in the past few years, so I might as well take this opportunity to visit the West Lake in Hangzhou and then go to the Qiantang River to watch the tide.

He Yuzhu made up his mind and began to pack his luggage.

He picked out some light clothing and took his camera and necessary travel supplies.

The best time for the Qiantang River tide is usually around the 18th day of the eighth lunar month every year. At this time, the sun is directly above the Earth's equator, and the centrifugal force on the Earth's seawater is the greatest. Combined with the effect of gravity, the seawater forms a huge tidal bore at the mouth of the Qiantang River.

Therefore, He Yuzhu specifically calculated that he would arrive at Haining City on the Qiantang River on August 2022, .

The reason why he chose this Haining Tide Watching Scenic Area was because he heard that a grand Tide Watching Festival was held here on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month every year...

So he looked up travel guides for Hangzhou on the Internet and decided on an exact route.

The next morning, He Yuzhu got up early, washed up, and went on a spontaneous trip.

He carried his luggage and walked out of the apartment door with brisk steps.

According to the travel route he had planned, he went to West Lake in Hangzhou, Xizha in Wuzhen, Xitang, Lingyin Temple, Qiandao Lake, Lion Grove in Suzhou, Zhouzhuang, Qiandao Lake, Hanshan Temple, etc.

Then I finally arrived at the Qiantang River that I had longed for since childhood.

That day on the bank of Qiantang River in Haining City, He Yuzhu finally saw the long-awaited tide.

The setting sun in the evening is as red as blood, shining on the surface of the river, creating layers of golden ripples.

In the distance, the tide was like a galloping horse, surging in layer after layer, as if to swallow up the entire coastline.

The loudspeakers at tourist attractions were calling out loudly, "Attention, tourists! The tide is coming soon. Please pay attention to safety and retreat quickly..."

The tourists were also shocked by the scene before them. They screamed and retreated, their faces full of fear and awe.

In the chaotic crowd, only He Yuzhu was still holding a camera, wanting to capture this magnificent moment and let this magnificent scene be frozen in his lens forever.

In August, the roar of waves comes from the ground, reaching several feet high and hitting the mountains.

Soon it entered the sea gate, rolling up sand piles like snow piles.

It seems that what Liu Yuxi said in "Lang Tao Sha" is true!

He Yuzhu was sighing in his heart when the loudspeaker's call became more and more urgent, and the words changed to, "Handsome guy taking pictures, the wave is coming soon, please retreat quickly, retreat quickly..."

But just when he came to his senses and prepared to retreat, a huge wave came like a giant beast, at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

He Yuzhu didn't have time to think before he was swept into the Qiantang River by the surging tide...
