Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu glanced at the candy packaging and it certainly didn't look like it was made in China. At this time, Wang Shu asked Wang Zhi, "How is the school's exam arrangement? Has the college entrance examination date been decided?"

Wang Zhi put down her schoolbag and replied, "I have already been notified. The college entrance examination is tentatively scheduled for August 15, 16, and 17. If there are any changes, I will notify you at that time."

When He Yuzhu heard the words "college entrance examination", his heart moved slightly. In this era, studying and taking exams are very rare things. Being able to get into college is as glorious as being the top scorer in high school. He was also a little hesitant about whether to continue his studies. Although he might not go to college, he did have a yearning to take the college entrance examination.

If He Yuzhu really wants to take the college entrance examination, he will get the support of the system. This matter is not difficult for him!

"Wang Zhi, do you have any extra teaching materials?"

"I want a set."

He Yuzhu's words stunned Wang Shu and Wang Zhi on the spot - a guy who had only attended junior high school actually wanted high school textbooks.

Will he understand?

"What do you want to do? Do you want to go to college?"

Wang Shu's voice was full of surprise.

He Yuzhu also knew that it would be a bit difficult for him to understand high school textbooks with his junior high school education. But he was confident that he would learn it naturally with his own system. As long as he persisted, all problems could be solved.

Wang Shu continued to ask: "Do you understand?"

"I've been to high school, and I have trouble reading my sister's textbooks."

"Are you really good at it?"

Wang Zhi, who was standing next to him, patted Wang Shu's arm. "You are a poor student. You may not be able to understand even if I give you a junior high school textbook."

She did not laugh at He Yuzhu, but admired his spirit very much. "Maybe he can really do it."

Wang Zhi patted her plump breasts confidently. "I'll take care of it!"

"Even if I have to borrow it, I will help you borrow all of this."

He Yuzhu was very grateful to Wang Zhi. "Thank you so much."

"I'd like you to try my cooking some other day."

He Yuzhu is well aware of one thing: it is indeed not easy to get into university if one lacks the ability.

After returning home, Li Fengyun had already brought He Yushui back, and He Yuzhu began to prepare dinner.

Dinner had just been ready when Wang Mingde came back.

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Mingde seemed to be worried.

As soon as the meal started, Wang Mingde said:

"Pillar."

"I have something to discuss with you."

"To be precise, I'm just letting you know."

"Starting tomorrow, you are not to work at Cuihua Building anymore."

"Huaxinglou in Dashilan has just opened."

"You'll work there from now on."

"You will be the head chef of Huaxing Restaurant starting tomorrow."

"I have already communicated with Manager Qin and the owner of Huaxing Building."

This sudden news stunned He Yuzhu, and it took him a long time to recover.

Today he is the deputy chef of Cuihualou, and starting tomorrow he will be the head chef of Huaxinglou.

What exactly happened in this, he himself had no idea.

"Master, I don't understand."

"What on earth is going on?"

Wang Mingde then explained the cause and effect in detail.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized.

So this is what happened.

The master could have chosen the eldest or second apprentice to go to Huaxinglou, but he gave himself this good opportunity to become the head chef. This is enough to prove how much the master values ​​him.

In the future, the salary of the head chef will of course be adjusted to the level of the head chef!

This made He Yuzhu feel deeply touched.

"If you need any employees, please let me know. I can deploy my apprentices to help. They can support you."

"Zhu Zi, work hard, starting tomorrow!"

"From today on, you are the youngest chef in this city."

These words made He Yuzhu feel unprecedented pressure.

indeed.

Not to mention the old city, even if we move the time forward a hundred years, it is almost impossible to find a sixteen-year-old chef.

However... I have never even stepped into Huaxing Building. Can the owner of Huaxing Building really approve of me?

“I didn’t even have an interview.”

"How did you become the head chef?"

Wang Mingde smiled.

"The owner of Huaxinglou is my best friend."

"Since he doesn't trust the person I recommended?"

"Zhu Zi, today I will teach you a lesson."

"As a chef, you are the main focus of the dishes you cook. If your cooking skills are superb, you will naturally have more customers, and then the entire restaurant will almost rely on you for its survival."

"When the time comes, even the boss will have to treat you with respect when he sees you."

"When that time comes, your influence in the restaurant will be so great that the restaurant will be shaken."

"Can you understand this?"

He Yuzhu nodded solemnly.

Deep down, he couldn't help but sigh that his master had really put a lot of thought into him.

From being an apprentice to becoming a sous chef, to now being the head chef at Huaxinglou,

In addition to He Yuzhu's own hard work, this is also inseparable from Wang Mingde's support and recommendation behind the scenes.

If it weren't for Wang Mingde's help, He Yuzhu might still be working as an ordinary vegetable cutter!

He could not express his gratitude to Wang Mingde in words.

"Yes, Master!"

"I will definitely try my best and will never let you down."

The next morning, Wang Mingde took He Yuzhu directly to Huaxing Building.

Arriving at the gate of Huaxing Building,

A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Wang Mingde coming, the man immediately quickened his pace to meet him.

"Old Wang, you are finally here."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Lao Cui, didn't we agree on this time? Why are you in such a hurry?"

After a few greetings, Lao Cui's eyes were always focused on He Yuzhu.

"This...is this the He Yuzhu you mentioned?"

"Too young indeed."

"This……"

A trace of worry appeared on Lao Cui's face.

After all, this is a major matter related to Huaxinglou’s business and cannot be taken lightly.

Wang Mingde was also very clear about this, because He Yuzhu looked very young and did not look like he had profound cooking skills.

"Stop being so verbose."

"First **, start working."

"I'll show you."

"See how capable my disciple Wang Mingde is."

In the kitchen,

Lao Cui randomly picked a few dishes commonly served to customers to test He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

Twice-cooked pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, and boiled pork slices.

Even though they were four ordinary dishes.

However, it is precisely because of the large number of orders that the true level of a chef can be better reflected.

As the saying goes: The simplest things are the hardest to achieve!

So, Lao Cui and Wang Mingde sat in the place closest to the kitchen, waiting for He Yuzhu's results.

"Is your apprentice really as outstanding as you say?"

Lao Cui couldn't believe it.

Lao Cui's full name is Cui Desheng. Although he was born in Beijing, he spent some time in Sichuan when he was young, just to find the most authentic Sichuan cuisine. It can even be said that his taste buds have completely adapted to the taste of Sichuan people. Every day's meals are Sichuan cuisine.

With just a glance, Cui Desheng can roughly judge whether a Sichuan dish is well-cooked and whether it is authentic.

Wang Mingde is full of confidence about this situation.

"Do not worry."

“There are people who know this better than I do.”

"real or fake?"

After a while, while they were chatting, He Yuzhu brought over a few dishes.

Cui Desheng quickly stood up and stared at the dishes on the table. Just by smelling the aroma and color of the dishes, a smile gradually appeared on his slightly plump face.

I probably already have an evaluation of He Yuzhu's level in my mind.

Without saying anything else, he quickly grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of twice-cooked pork, and put them into his mouth.

It's really delicious! The meat is not greasy and is very soft!

The flavor of the garlic sprouts combines perfectly with the seasoning of the bean paste.

Wonderful!

"rice!"

"Bring some rice."

“I haven’t tasted such delicious food in a long time.”

Wang Mingde was very happy. He knew the success of this matter very well, and turned to He Yuzhu and said.

"Go help your uncle Cui add some rice."

It only took a dozen minutes.

Cui Desheng finished three full bowls of white rice.

After the meal, he couldn't help but light a cigarette, smiling.

Cui Desheng approached He Yuzhu and said:

"He Yuzhu."

"From today on, I will call you Zhuzi like your master."

"From today on, you will be the chef of our Huaxing Building."

"Your salary will be at the same level as your master's."

"You don't need to worry about anything."

After hearing these words, He Yuzhu was overjoyed.

If the salary is like that of the master, it would be close to one million per month, of course this is the old currency, which is about one hundred yuan in the current RMB. This amount is quite amazing, especially considering that this was the social situation in 1952 after all, and some families could not even afford a meal. It is a great thing to be in this position!

"Remember this, Pillar."

“We are different from Huaxinglou because we mainly serve Sichuan cuisine and some dim sum.”

"You'll be one of the faces here."

"Attention."

"As for the other details, I won't go into detail. I'm already convinced of your cooking skills, and you'll gradually get to know the other details."

"You go back today."

"We will open tomorrow. You must come to work on time and go to bed early because as a chef you have to do the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening."

"As for the kitchen staff, your master will help you assign a few people to come and help. If there is a shortage of manpower, further arrangements will be made."

"..."

During the conversation with He Yuzhu, Cui Desheng's tone was always friendly and gentle. It was because he was impressed by the superb cooking skills of this young chef that He Yuzhu officially became a key chef of Huaxinglou from today, and the future business of this newly opened shop also depends on the hard work of this young man. Obviously, the first opening is crucial and will have a far-reaching impact on the future of the entire shop.

If things go well, He Yuzhu will become Cui Desheng's God of Wealth and must be well worshipped. After giving instructions for a few things, He Yuzhu returned with Wang Mingde.

Wang Mingde was going to work at Cuihua Building, so He Yuzhu went home first. When he got home, he had nothing to do, so he started practicing various skills and medical techniques. In the evening, he personally went to pick up his sister He Yushui.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw Wang Zhi had also arrived.

"He Yuzhu."

He Yuzhu stopped when he heard the sound.

Wang Zhi put down her schoolbag and took out a set of teaching materials.

“It’s pieced together, some are new and some are a bit worn out, but the contents are good.”
