Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 56 Zhang Yong’s Framing

Even if Xu Huizhen didn't say anything and He Yuzhu helped move the wine, there would be no problem.

Xu Huiqian gave in, and when He Yuzhu insisted on helping, he worked together to unload the wine from the car.

Xu Huizhen said it was just for fun. The relationship between the two was much better than when they first met, and they could be considered friends.

You can't help but just pass by. That's not what normal people do.

It took a total of four moves for the two of them to move the wine jars. What Xu Hui gave was only loose wine, which was not used much. After all, it was a mid-range restaurant, and most people would buy a whole bottle of liquor.

After Xu Hui said a few polite words, He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen, leaving room for the brother and sister to talk.

After a while, Xu Huizhen came in to say thank you, which really surprised He Yuzhu.

"Did you make that wine at home?"

"No, if our family could afford to open a wine room, would I still wash vegetables?"

"That's true. Then your brother works as a helper in the wine shop?"

Xu Huizhen wears a lot of patches on her clothes, and the conditions are average. After all, there are too many poor people in this era.

"Yes, my family is on the Niulan Mountain side, and my family can only work for others in the winery."

"Then you also make wine?"

"Of course. When we were young, we went to the winery every day to play. Everyone can make wine."

Xu Huizhen was very talkative and talked about her childhood. She also said that her family would occasionally brew some for herself to drink.

“Why make your own wine?”

"Do you know how many pounds of grain produce one pound of wine?"

"I don't know. Sorghum wine usually sells for 6 cents per catty."

"Let me tell you, more than two kilograms of sorghum can produce one kilogram of wine."

"Oh I see."

He Yuzhu can immediately calculate the cost of wine. Sorghum only costs 5 cents per catty. Even if three jins of sorghum produces one catty of wine, the cost of grain is less than 6 cents, but the retail price is as high as [-] cents.

Calculating it this way, the profits from making and selling wine are really high.

Thinking about it again, no wonder Xu Huizhen in the TV series can make a lot of money just by guarding the tavern. When the restaurant is re-opened, she has the start-up capital and is one step ahead of others to make a lot of money.

Then do you want to open a tavern and cook private dishes?
It is still possible to do business now. Public-private partnership will have to wait until five to five years. Besides, opening the door for business now will not change its identity.

If they can cook by themselves, Xu Huizhen can run the business, and bring Vanilla as a waiter, wouldn't it be great for the three of them to open a tavern together?
However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. After all, how to convince the two of them to do business together is the key.

The two talked for a while, and it was almost time to go to work, so they went to work.

Time flew by, I had lunch at around 10 o'clock, and then started to get busy.

Fortunately for He Yuzhu, although the demand for raw materials has increased recently, they are all prepared in advance. As long as they are done step by step, it will not appear too busy.

It's past 12 o'clock, and I can breathe a sigh of relief seeing that the noon wave has passed.

Zhang Yong brought a grass carp over and said, "Zhuzhu, cut this fish into pieces and make it into a squirrel fish."

He Yuzhu frowned: "Why do you let me cut this?"

Recently, I have been mainly responsible for preparing cold dishes and have only few opportunities to cut vegetables.

The fresh fish must be a hot dish, and He Yuzhu can't cut it.

Zhang Yong said with a grimace: "I'm so hungry today, just cut a squirrel fish for me. The guests are waiting for it."

"Okay, then you just go to the latrine." He Yuzhu did not refuse. People have three urgent needs, and He Yuzhu cannot be too ruthless.

Seeing that He Yuzhu agreed, Zhang Yong showed a secret smile of success, then turned around and left the kitchen.

Squirrel fish is a simple dish to make. You need to remove the head and tail, leaving only the fish body.

Shave off the bones of the fish, leaving only large pieces of thick fish meat, then turn it over at an angle of [-] degrees, and cut continuously at intervals of about one centimeter horizontally. Just be careful not to cut off the skin.

After cutting the fish horizontally, cut it continuously at 90 degrees vertically. Of course, you cannot cut off the fish skin, otherwise the dish will not be cooked.

Cut it horizontally and vertically in this way, and the fish will become many small square strips. Sprinkle the cut fish with salt, and then pour cooking wine.

Finally, add an egg white and rub the seasoning and fish until the seasoning is absorbed by the fish.

In this way, the preliminary preparation work is completed.

After marinating for 15 minutes, you can hand it over to the chef for cooking.

After He Yuzhu was done, he continued to make cold dishes.

After a while, Zhang Yong entered the kitchen with a comfortable look on his face, hurriedly came to He Yuzhu and asked, "Where is the fish, He Yuzhu?"

He Yuzhu pointed to the plate next to him and said, "The squirrel fish has been marinated."

"What squirrel fish?"

Zhang Yong suddenly changed his face and said loudly: "He Yuzhu, are your ears broken? Who asked you to be a squirrel fish?"

He Yuzhu was confused for a moment and asked, "Didn't you ask me to make squirrel fish before you went to the toilet?"

As he spoke, he felt something was wrong. Zhang Yong had set a trap for himself.

Sure enough, Zhang Yong scolded loudly: "He Yuzhu, who asked you to make squirrel fish? I clearly told you when I left that I was going to make steamed grass carp with rice flour and asked you to cut it into pieces. You did well and cut the squirrel fish for me. ?”

Zhang Yong's voice became louder and louder, attracting other people in the kitchen to turn around and take a look.

Zhang Yong's voice became louder: "Can you still do it? If you can't do it, get out of here. You can cut every vegetable wrong?"

"Stop putting your hat on my head."

He Yuzhu was also furious: "You clearly said you were making squirrel fish, but now you changed your mind and said you were making steamed fish with rice flour. Aren't you just looking for trouble?"

Zhang Yong's eyes were filled with pride, but he still tried his best to act, pretending to be angry:

"He Yuzhu, why are you complaining when you did something wrong? The order you placed was for steamed fish with rice flour. How could I tell you to make squirrel fish?"

He Yuzhu was so angry that he wanted to stab him with a sharp knife. Zhang Yong clearly wanted to frame him.

It's just that the cold vegetable stall is only at the other end of the kitchen, and there is no one else around, and no one can testify for myself.

At this time, Master Hong Henian had already arrived and heard the conversation between the two, and his brows furrowed.

It is indeed difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter. After all, it is possible to say the wrong thing or hear the wrong tone.

However, He Yuzhu was his apprentice after all, and Zhang Yong had some intentions towards him before, so he still believed in his apprentice.

It was not good to have a quarrel at noon. I just wanted to settle the matter first, so I said:

"You two, stop arguing. Didn't you just make a wrong dish? Can't you just get another fish and make it again?"

"I'll just spend the money to buy this fish, so the restaurant won't suffer any loss."

But Zhang Yong had already taken this step and said: "Is this a matter of fish? It's not a matter of money. If there are still grass carp, why should I be angry? The grass carp your apprentice made is the last one today." There is only one, no more grass carp, do you understand?"
