After a while, the owner of Fengzeyuan appeared in the kitchen again, walked directly to them and ordered: "The lunch banquet for Director Yang of the Steel Rolling Mill will be handed over to He Yuzhu. His knife skills and delicious five-liu fish attracted the friend from the Bear Country, Fleisheno, and he specifically asked He Yuzhu to cook the dishes for this meal."

He Yuzhu said happily to his master Zhang Jianguo: "Master, you heard it too, right? Now you can go to the side and rest easily."

He Yuzhu immediately said to the boss of Fengzeyuan jokingly: "Boss, the foreigner is called Fredno, let me take care of their banquet today."

The boss of Fengzeyuan saw that He Yuzhu dared to make fun of him, so he patted his shoulder in pretending to be angry and said, "Be serious! If the dishes do not satisfy Director Yang and his bear friends... I will deduct your salary."

When he heard that his salary was going to be deducted, He Yuzhu immediately put his feet together, stood at attention and saluted the boss of Fengzeyuan: "I guarantee to complete the task!"

This funny little episode caused everyone to laugh.

"Master Zhang, you have to keep an eye on yours!" The owner of Fengzeyuan was not angry, as he knew He Yuzhu's character very well.

After saying that, he gave his instructions and left.

Zhang Jianguo looked at the boss of Fengzeyuan leaving, half amused and half reproached, "Zhu Zi, look at what you did! You even pissed off the boss. To be honest, you really need to be more serious. If you mess up, your salary will be deducted."

He Yuzhu knew that this was an expression of concern from Zhang Jianguo, so he nodded seriously and then began to carefully select the ingredients needed for the side dish area.

For ordinary guests in the private room, the ingredients are usually prepared, but for VIPs, the ingredients must be perfect. He will personally take charge of everything from selecting ingredients, matching, cooking to plating, to show respect and professionalism to important guests.

He learned that only Director Yang and Fredno would be dining there, so he planned three dishes and a soup, which included Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork Slices, Cabbage with Vinegar and Three Fresh Soup.

After half an hour of hard cooking and exquisite layout, three dishes and a soup were served to the box where Director Yang and Fredno were sitting.

After Director Yang and Fredno tasted the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu, their praise for Fengze Garden's food reached an unprecedented level.

Finally, He Yuzhu even received a special invitation to the No. 1 box in Tianzi.

"He! Awesome!!" When Fredno saw He Yuzhu, he immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised him.

"He Yuzhu, your cooking talent amazes me. I originally thought that Chef Zhang Jianguo was already amazing, but your cooking skills are even more amazing. It is true that a good teacher produces good students, and the student is better than the teacher." Director Yang of the steel rolling mill was full of praise for He Yuzhu.

After finishing his statement, he turned to the owner of Fengzeyuan with a smile and said half-jokingly: "Fengzeyuan has the golden duo of Zhang Jianguo and He Yuzhu. I'm afraid other restaurants will have no business, right?"

He Yuzhu responded with a faint smile and said nothing, but the pride in his heart was beyond words.

The owner of Fengze Garden bowed his hands and thanked Director Yang for his praise of Fengze Garden. He then said with emotion: "I hope it can develop for a long time. I look forward to guests like Director Yang coming often."

Director Yang was a little drunk at this moment, and said boldly: "It's no big deal, from now on, just come to Fengze Garden for meals!"

The owner of Fengzeyuan gave He Yuzhu a wink, and He Yuzhu understood his intention and walked towards Director Yang and foreign friends with a glass of wine to toast.

At first, I, He Yuzhu, was just a chef, but now I have unexpectedly become a guest at the banquet. I can't help but smile bitterly to myself.

However, after in-depth conversations with foreign friends, he found that Fredno was not actually a difficult person to get along with.

Not only did they become brothers after chatting, they also exchanged contact information, and Fredno also gave He Yuzhu two bottles of Xiongguo's Caper Vodka as a gift.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Director Yang and his party left Fengze Garden.

The owner of Fengzeyuan waved goodbye and sent them to the steel mill's car until they disappeared from sight.

Then the boss of Fengzeyuan looked at He Yuzhu's blushing face and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhuzi."

He called He Yuzhu and said, "Let's go to the kitchen. I have something to announce to everyone."

He Yuzhu originally planned to follow directly, but suddenly remembered that the good wine given by Fredno was still in the box, so he quickly told the boss: "Boss, I will go to the box to get the wine sent by Fredno, and then go to the kitchen right away." As he said that, he hurriedly ran to the box without waiting for the other party's consent.

This foreign liquor is very rare and precious in China. Even if you have money you may not be able to buy it, so you must cherish it.

The owner of Fengzeyuan looked at his hurried figure, shook his head and smiled, without blaming him, and went into the kitchen first.

He Yuzhu, who was hurriedly returning with the wine, met the owner of Fengzeyuan at the kitchen door, and the two walked into the kitchen together.

It was already past the lunch break time, and the people in the kitchen were busy cleaning up and preparing their own lunch.

The boss of Fengzeyuan clapped his hands and stopped everyone: "Brothers in the kitchen, please put down your work for a while."

"I have some news to announce now: Director Yang of the steel rolling mill and his friend Fredno from the Bear Country both admired the cooking skills of our second chef Comrade He Yuzhu and gave him high praise. This has greatly increased the reputation of our Fengze Garden's Chinese cuisine in front of our foreign friends. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to promote He Yuzhu to the chief chef of Fengze Garden."

"He Yuzhu's previous monthly salary was 60 yuan, but now according to the hotel's regulations I'm raising it to 240 yuan!"

"At the same time, I will personally give him a special reward of fifty dollars as a bonus for today."

After the boss of Fengzeyuan finished speaking, he took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to He Yuzhu, and also explained that the extra fifty yuan was an extra bonus for He Yuzhu's previous performance.

He Yuzhu held a hundred yuan in one hand and the good wine given by Fredno in the other hand, and said excitedly: "Thank you very much for the promotion, reward and trust in me. I will do my best to shine in the kitchen of Fengze Garden in the future."

This promotion directly increased my salary by four times! Add to that the 70 yuan salary I earned as a food purchasing employee at the food station, and my monthly salary will be 310 yuan.

After receiving the 100 yuan bonus, He Yuzhu now has a total of 2,008 yuan in cash in his consciousness space.

His accumulated wealth once again reached the peak of his life, and he already had enough money to get engaged to a rich and beautiful lady like Xu Huizhen.

At this moment, there was only one word in his mind - awesome!

But He Yuzhu felt that the 2,000 yuan betrothal money was far from enough to marry Xu Huizhen, and he still needed to work harder!

Upon hearing about He Yuzhu's amazing transformation from an ordinary apprentice chef to a second chef and then to a head chef in just one month, the kitchen staff were shocked. Then a warm applause echoed in the spacious kitchen. Even Liu Wenlong whistled excitedly.

Their faces were full of envy and support, but there was not a trace of jealousy.

This also indirectly confirms that, under the leadership of Zhang Jianguo, the people in the kitchen of Fengze Garden are united, friendly and not petty (otherwise why would a large group of people go to help He Yuzhu make a scene in the courtyard to seek justice).

All of this naturally fell into the sight of the Fengzeyuan boss. He smiled and said, "I heard that He Yuzhu wants to treat everyone to dinner today?"

"Yes! I, He Yuzhu, must treat everyone to dinner tonight, and we must drink to our heart's content!" In high spirits, He Yuzhu gladly accepted the invitation and showed off the two bottles of Little Bird Vodka in his hand.

Liu Wenlong, who had originally planned to come forward and explain that he should pay for the meal, gave up the idea after seeing He Yuzhu's winking behavior and did not say anything else.

According to the rules, he should treat the guests if he loses the bet.

But considering the fact that He Yuzhu was promoted to chef, it should be celebrated tonight.

After the boss of Fengze Garden left, his colleagues came forward to congratulate him on his promotion, saying that he was the fastest promoted chef since the establishment of Fengze Garden and a chef with impeccable cooking skills. Everyone was happy for He Yuzhu.

After everyone left, Zhang Jianguo walked to He Yuzhu and said affectionately: "Zhuzi, congratulations on your promotion! But I want to say that this is the place where your culinary skills have reached the peak, but it is not the end of your life. I hope you don't forget your original intention and keep working hard!"

Zhang Jianguo has always wanted to train an apprentice who can demonstrate his talents at state banquets, and in his eyes, He Yuzhu already has such potential.

He Yuzhu understood his master's expectations of him, so he did not joke with his master this time. Instead, he nodded seriously to show that he understood.
