Siheyuan: Traveling through Sizhu, the scumbag father ran away at the beginning

A few days later, in the Zhengyangmen silk and clothing store.

Chen Xueru was very distressed during this period. Her distress came from the issue of public-private partnership, which made her very worried.

As time went on, more and more private shops and factories joined the ranks of public-private partnerships.

But Chen Xueru could never make up her mind whether to accept the policy of public-private partnership.

Because Xu Huizhen's Xu Family Tavern was the first in the capital to actively participate in the public-private partnership, the staff of the Military Control Office often used it as an example when persuading other shops, prompting many shops around Zhengyangmen to join the public-private partnership.

Of course, Chen Xueru’s shop had been advised several times, but she was still ambiguous.

Thinking of Xu Huizhen's actions, Chen Xueru looked at her brother Chen Minghua: "Brother, do you think we should also join the public-private partnership? Now Xu Huizhen's Xu Family Tavern has already joined the public-private partnership."

"My silly sister, do you know what Xu Huizhen did? She almost handed over the business of her own tavern to the government." Chen Minghua couldn't help but get angry and was dissatisfied with this sudden suggestion. "This silk shop is the hard work of our parents' struggle for half a lifetime. Now it has been passed to you. How can you treat it so carelessly?"

As an older brother, he saw that the silk clothing store run by Chen Xueru was running well.

Chen Xueru said: "I just thought that if our store also joins the public-private partnership, there may be new development opportunities."

But seeing that his sister was about to make a mistake, Chen Minghua, as a brother, felt obligated to give advice: "Xue Ru, I hope you will think about it carefully again. Public-private partnership is equivalent to giving our store to the government. To be honest, I don't want our store to join the public-private partnership!" Chen Minghua still insisted on his attitude and was not moved at all.

"Even if you are my brother, I will still stick to my position! Let me go find Huizhen to find out the situation!" Seeing her brother so stubborn, Chen Xueru sighed helplessly and prepared to go find her good friend Xu Huizhen for advice.

At this time in the Xu's Tavern, Xu Huizhen, Aunt Guo and Accountant Liu were checking the tavern's income and expenditure accounts in recent days.

Looking at the considerable daily income, Auntie Guo couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Boss Xu, I really didn't expect that a tavern of your size would be so successful!"

Nowadays, many private shops have chosen to join the ranks of public-private partnerships, some of which are even larger than Xu Huizhen’s tavern.

But judging from the revenue in the past few days, Xu's Tavern ranks first.

With good business, future dividends will naturally be high. For those who were sent to Xu's Tavern, it means that their performance record has an outstanding achievement, which is an additional political merit for them.

Xu Huizhen heard the praise and responded with a forced smile: "This is thanks to the good policies brought about by public-private partnerships!"

In fact, deep down in her heart, Xu Huizhen still felt a little lost. After all, it was the money she had worked hard to earn, but she had to share a large part of the profits with the government. No matter who it is, it would make people feel uncomfortable.

However, He Yuzhu did not have too many thoughts on this. He felt that paying dividends to the public was like paying some deposit for them. It was also a small guarantee after the "Wenwen Revolution" that was well known to later generations. After all, during the "Wenwen Revolution", some rich people ended up in a miserable way. But he did not reveal these things to Xu Huizhen.

At this moment, He Yuzhu is carefully studying and thinking about some new food to help the tavern attract customers, such as roast chicken, roast duck and other delicious side dishes, as well as snacks such as duck liver, duck gizzards, duck necks, and duck clavicles. These are all good things to attract customers.

Suddenly, the roar of a car engine was heard at the door of the tavern. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Director Yang from the steel rolling mill.

As soon as he saw He Yuzhu in the tavern, his anxious heart calmed down at once.

Director Yang laughed and teased He Yuzhu, "Hey, He Yuzhu, you are such a good chef at Fengze Garden, but you came to this tavern to be a cook. I really don't understand!"

"It's all for his beloved wife! He's worried that she will be too tired to run the tavern alone. This is a model of caring for his wife." Niu Ye next to him took over the topic and said jokingly, "Of course, we have to admit that He Yuzhu's cooking skills are indeed excellent. Since he came to the tavern to take charge of the kitchen, the variety of side dishes in the tavern has become more and more diverse, especially the dried fish with a delicious taste. I really love it! Paired with a sip of wine, the taste is so delicious!"

After saying this, Uncle Niu gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up, and his words brought laughter to the audience in the museum.

He Yuzhu clasped his fists towards Uncle Niu and said, "Thank you for your recognition, Uncle Niu. I have created some new dishes to go with wine these days and I will let you taste them later." As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Niu's eyes sparkled and he swallowed hard a few times, looking very greedy.

Manager Fan Jinyou of Gongfang was watching these people praising each other. He felt very dissatisfied as they ignored him completely.

Fan Jinyou stood up slowly and said, "As the manager of the public office, I highly recognize He Yuzhu's performance in the tavern these days. As the chef of Xu's Tavern, He Yuzhu has been recognized by all the guests, which is enough to prove that He Yuzhu is wholeheartedly contributing to the tavern! We at Xu's Tavern are deeply grateful for this and thank Comrade He Yuzhu for his selfless dedication!"

However, as soon as Fan Jinyou finished speaking, the originally cheerful scene fell into silence.

Everyone knows that Xu's Tavern was owned by Xu Yuanshan, who passed it on to Xu Huizhen after his retirement. He Yuzhu is Xu Huizhen's husband. Anyone present could hear that Fan Jinyou's words treated He Yuzhu as an ordinary chef in the tavern, and at the same time portrayed himself as the owner of Xu's Tavern. This was simply robbery!

Hearing Fan Jinyou's words, He Yuzhu, who had been smiling, suddenly became gloomy. He asked in confusion, "Was there a dog barking just now? Did I hear it wrong? Where did the wild dog come from in broad daylight?"

"If I hear the barking of wild dogs again and they disturb everyone's drinking, I will catch the wild dogs and treat everyone to a delicious dog meat hot pot."

The old man was not afraid of power and immediately said, "Yes, it's cold and it's just right to eat dog meat hotpot to keep warm. It tastes good with a drink, haha!"

Fan Jinyou, who was standing by, blushed red in the face. He knew that this was He Yuzhu's mockery of him.

He Yuzhu dared to call him a wild dog, how could he let it go? Then we'll see!

When Fan Jinyou saw Director Yang of the steel rolling mill who had just come in, he wanted to save his face and had an idea in his mind.

Fan Jinyou walked towards Director Yang with a big smile on his face: "Director Yang, are you coming to our tavern today just to have a drink? Please order whatever you want, I will ask He Yuzhu to prepare some exquisite dishes for you!"

But it was obvious that there was something wrong with Fan Jinyou's plan. His words just now had angered everyone, including Director Yang.

So Director Yang was not moved by Fan Jinyou's enthusiasm. Instead, he walked to He Yuzhu and said with a smile: "Master He, I have something to ask you for help."

Seeing that Fan Jinyou had tried his best but still failed to restore his dignity, He Yuzhu was overjoyed and replied with a smile: "Director Yang, if you have any instructions, just tell me!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's agreement, Director Yang of the steel mill smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you in advance! Recently, a team of experts from the Bear Country came to our steel mill. In the past, your father He Daqing was the best chef we could hire, but now he is not here. We have not been able to find a chef who can compete with He Daqing. The main reason is that the expert team from the Bear Country is very picky."

It turned out that Director Yang of the steel rolling mill originally wanted to bring a team of experts from the Bear Country to Fengze Garden to taste Zhang Jianguo's craftsmanship, but after he knew that He Yuzhu was now in Xu's Tavern, he decided to come here immediately.

Director Yang of the steel mill looked at He Yuzhu expectantly: "But please rest assured, as long as you decide on the menu for the bear expert, I will arrange for people to purchase the ingredients to ensure that all the ingredients are the freshest."

He Yuzhu did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly, considering the answer.

Seeing He Yuzhu remained silent and did not answer, Fan Jinyou on the side immediately became extremely impatient.

Fan Jinyou approached Director Yang like a fawning clown and said, "Director Yang, don't worry! I promise you on behalf of He Yuzhu! He Yuzhu promises to be available whenever you call, so just make the arrangements!"

Being able to host a banquet for the expert team of the Bear Country is a good job for anyone, and many leaders of a certain level will surely be present to show their support.

He Yuzhu's excellent cooking skills naturally won the praise of various leaders and the expert team of the Bear Country. As a result, He Yuzhu's cooking skills became famous. If others asked about He Yuzhu's background, they would find out that he was the chef of Xu's Tavern.

For Fan Jinyou, the public manager of Xu's Tavern, this was an unexpected and free political achievement.

What's more, the meals that He Yuzhu prepares for the expert team from the Bear Country can also bring extra profits to the pub. This is really a great thing that kills two birds with one stone!
