Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 64 Why do people call you Brother Zhuzhu?
He Yuzhu is a stupid person, who can say that he can speak better than the eloquent shopkeeper Hu. Shopkeeper Hu complained a lot and talked about the difficulties of running a restaurant.

The boss has already given a cap and set a salary, which is already quite a lot.

He Yuzhu argued hard, and after bargaining, shopkeeper Hu reluctantly raised the price to 35 yuan a month.

He Yuzhu thought that his bargaining skills were pretty good, but in fact it was not worth it. Shopkeeper Hu deliberately lowered the price by 5 yuan and asked He Yuzhu to negotiate the price.

If you meet a chef who doesn't know how to bargain, it would be great if you can negotiate a salary of 30 yuan, which will save you some money.

He Yuzhu nodded reluctantly, and then said: "Then I am an official master, can I have a helper as an assistant?"

"That's okay, but then you can't work half a day."

He Yuzhu had already been prepared. After all, it would be outrageous to work for half a day with such a salary.

Night is the restaurant's peak hour, so it's really not good to be away.

"Okay, yes."

He Yuzhu then asked: "Then can I take the food back?"

The restaurant not only manages the chef's meals, but also allows them to bring food. Previously, He Yuzhu was just a helper and could only have working meals, but he was not qualified to bring food.

Only the chef can bring two lunch boxes, and the second stove can bring one cooking dish.

The main reason is that inflation was so severe in the past two years that many people were unable to support their families even after receiving a salary.

The rule of the chef bringing food is still preserved.

"Okay, you can also bring a box of stir-fry vegetables. The meat must not exceed the standard." Shopkeeper Hu warned.

There are regulations on the amount of shredded pork in a stir-fry dish. You can't use more meat in the dishes you bring, and can only bring the standard portion. If you bring braised pork back every day, wouldn't the restaurant be at a loss?
"Of course, I know the rules."

He Yuzhu thought about it and said, "I will use Xu Huizhen as the helper."

"Oh, why her?"

The main thing has been agreed, and it doesn't matter who will be the helper. Shopkeeper Hu asked jokingly: "Do you think this girl is pretty?"

"No, Shopkeeper Hu, you can't talk nonsense."

He Yuzhu quickly explained: "When I came to work, I took Xu Huizhen's position on the chopping board. I wanted her to help me and teach her some knife skills."

"Okay, I agree to this. From now on, you will be responsible for the cold dishes and braised pork."

After coming out of the manager's office, He Yuzhu was quite happy and couldn't help but come to the yard to see Xu Huizhen still washing potatoes there.

Walked up to me and said, "Xu Huizhen, do you want to change positions?"

Xu Huizhen raised her head and rolled her eyes: "You are just an apprentice, how can you help me change positions?"

"Don't worry about this. Just tell me if you still want to wash the dishes?"

"Of course not."

Xu Huizhen said angrily: "At that time, I would have come a day earlier, but who knew that you would take my place? It was a good idea, I was here to cut vegetables, but you, a bad guy, took my place, and I could only come to wash it." It’s ready.”

Then Xu Huijun stretched out her two palms that were already soaked and turned white, and shook them under He Yuzhu's eyes: "Look, these are all soaked, and I blame you for being a bad guy."

Although the relationship between the two has been reconciled and they have become ordinary friends, Xu Huizhen will often use this matter to harm He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said: "You don't blame me for this, I don't know. Now do you want to change positions?"

When she said it the first time, Xu Huizhen thought He Yuzhu was joking. After hearing it and asking it again, she felt something was wrong.

"Can you really help me?"

Xu Huizhen was very surprised. When her brother came last time, she asked her brother to intercede with the shopkeeper. She really didn't want to wash vegetables anymore.

Brother Xu Hui had the courage to mention it to the shopkeeper, and he was also in a dilemma with shopkeeper Hu. There was no spare space in the entire kitchen, so Xu Huizhen could only continue to wash vegetables.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I can really help you, but I have a condition."

Xu Huizhen was very suspicious. After hearing the last word, her face suddenly turned red: "What do you want to do?"

He Yuzhu was so attracted by Xu Huizhen in front of him that he even forgot to reply.

Xu Huizhen, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, has not fully grown yet, but she is already very attractive. She has a slender figure, and she is very clean in a foreign cloth jacket. Her face is flushed by the sun, and her face is very beautiful, like It is Lin Daiyu who is buried with flowers in the New Year painting. She has a pair of big, watery eyes, showing a shy look, giving people a refreshing feeling.

I have met many girls before, but none of them can compare with her, because she has a unique elegant and quiet charm, which gave He Yuzhu a new and strange feeling.

Some women look very beautiful, but they are not attractive to anyone.

But there are some women who look average, but they can look right at each other, making people's hearts flutter and fall deeply into them.

This is the edge of the eye.

Xu Huizhen's pretty face blushed even more, her beauty was dripping with beauty, she lowered her head shyly and said angrily: "What are you looking at?"

He Yuzhu finally came to his senses and said nonchalantly, "I didn't see anything."

Then asked: "Now there is an opportunity for you to stop doing the dishes."

Xu Huizhen hesitated, thinking that He Yuzhu would not act like a gangster like Zhang Yong treated Vanilla, and then asked: "What are the conditions first? I am considering whether to agree or not."

He Yuzhu said: "You see you are younger than me. From now on when you see me, call me Brother Zhuzhu, and I will help you change positions."

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and secretly complained about what she was thinking about just now. How could she have such strange thoughts and think of He Yuzhu as a bad person.

However, I still felt a little embarrassed thinking about calling this big bad guy He Yuzhu Brother Zhuzi in the future.

"Why do people call you Brother Zhuzhu?"

"I can help you change your position. You can see that the skin on your little hands is already peeling. It's better that the weather isn't cold. When autumn comes and winter comes, your whole hands will be cracked if you wash vegetables. "

Saying this, Xu Huizhen was frightened. Thinking about it, in winter, if she only washed vegetables occasionally at home, her hands would freeze. If she had to wash vegetables from morning to night all day long, both hands would freeze. Where else can I have good skin on my hands?

"You're not going to lie to me, are you? You just want me to call you brother." Xu Huizhen asked in disbelief.

He Yuzhu said: "I didn't ask you to call me now. Let's settle the matter first. When I help you finish it, can you call me Brother Zhuzhu again?"

Xu Huizhen thought about her frozen hands in winter and nodded shyly: "If you can change it for me, I will call you Brother Zhuzi from now on."

"Okay, then the matter is settled, just wait for my good news."

He Yuzhu has already told the shopkeeper that if Xu Huizhen doesn't agree to him, there is nothing he can do.

It happened that before shopkeeper Hu made the announcement, she made an agreement with Xu Huizhen in advance, so that Xu Huizhen would call herself Brother Zhuzhu in the future.

"Well, I keep my word. If you help me, I will recognize you as my brother."

Xu Huizhen was a little confused, watching shopkeeper Hu take her to the cold dish area, and said to He Yuzhu: "I brought you the person, and he will be your helper from now on."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Hu."

He Yuzhu sent Shopkeeper Hu away, and then asked Xu Huizhen with a smile: "What did you call me?" "Brother Zhu Zhuzhu!"

Xu Huizhen felt very embarrassed the first time, but now that she had spoken out, it became much smoother.

"Brother Zhuzi, how did you do it? Aren't you a helper? How can you still have a helper?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "This is a secret."

"Humph, you thought I wanted to know so much." He rolled his eyes and asked, "What do I want to do?"

"Go and chop the green onions and shredded ginger. Then cut whatever is missing from these ingredients. You have to be discerning when working. Don't wait for me to teach you."

He Yuzhu finally has a direct subordinate, and he will no longer need to do these non-technical things personally.

Xu Huizhen said a little depressed: "I know."

He Yuzhu turned around to take care of the stew pot, and then called out the system panel.

The original plan was to upgrade the Sichuan cooking skills first and upgrade the cooking skills after gaining experience.

But now that I have become a master of cold dishes and received the salary of a formal chef, I still mainly prepare cold dishes and braise meat for a short period of time. So now I can only upgrade my seasoning skills, do my job well, and make the cold dishes more outstanding, and then Then upgrade Sichuan cuisine technology.

In fact, He Yuzhu wanted to learn Shandong cuisine and Beijing cuisine more, but because of his relationship with Zhang Zusheng and the others, the other party would definitely not teach him.

What's more, if you learn Beijing cuisine from them, wouldn't it be a betrayal of your master, Hong Henian?
We can only learn this after we find a master from Jingcai.

You must know that both the Eight Great Halls and the Eighth Building mainly serve Shandong cuisine. From this, you can see the preference of people in the capital for Shandong cuisine. This is the most popular dish in the capital.

Don't think that the big bosses in the TV series like to eat Sichuan food, and that Sichuan food is very popular in the capital. In fact, it is not.

Currently, there is no high-end restaurant that specializes in Sichuan cuisine. The famous Emei Restaurant will not be established until five to five years.

The most popular ones are Beijing cuisine and Shandong cuisine. Beijing cuisine itself is derived from Shandong cuisine and can actually be regarded as a large cuisine.

He Yuzhu saw that he had accumulated 1600 experience points, and then invested all his experience in seasoning.

[Seasoning lv6 (1/3200)]

After successfully upgrading to level 6, He Yuzhu gained a new understanding of seasoning. After tasting the stewed soup, He Yuzhu slightly adjusted the recipe.

Tasting it again, I felt that the aroma of the broth was even richer.

Although Shopkeeper Hu did not directly announce the news of He Yuzhu becoming a full-time employee, He Yuzhu suddenly gained an assistant. Many people had guessed that He Yuzhu had successfully taken over.

Zhang Yong whispered: "Xiao Song, go and ask if He Yuzhu has become a master."

Wang Song was still confused: "You said He Yuzhu became a regular employee?"

"Are you stupid? Can you help him if you don't change your job?"

Wang Song realized it later and came over and asked: "Zhuzi, have you become a regular employee?"

"Yes, the shopkeeper saw that I was good at making cold dishes and asked me to be the cold dish chef." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"It's so enviable. You've only been here for three months." Wang Song said a little sourly.

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "If you practice seriously, you can become a full-time professional soon."

"I hope so!" Wang Song went back a little disappointed.

Only then did Xu Huizhen understand and asked: "You mean you are now an official master?"

"if not?"

He Yuzhu said with some pride: "I am so good at making cold dishes, so it is normal for me to be a cold dish chef!"

"The shopkeeper discussed it with me in the afternoon, and then I called your name and asked you to cut the vegetables, so that you don't have to wash the vegetables anymore. Don't say that I took your job of cutting vegetables again, right?"

"Then how much is your monthly salary?" Xu Huizhen just arrived and received the same salary as He Yuzhu before, which was 10 yuan a month.

"Now that I'm 35 a month, I can still bring one dish home every day." He Yuzhu said calmly.

Xu Huizhen's surprised little mouth turned into a zero. He Yuzhu was obviously an apprentice who joined her on the same day.

A normal apprenticeship lasts for three years. In just two months, He Yuzhu became a cold dish master.

Although I had known before that the cold dishes he made were delicious and capable, being recognized by the restaurant showed that He Yuzhu's ability was already extraordinary.

"Are you really only 16 years old?" Xu Huizhen asked doubtfully.

He Yuzhu was very helpless, with a more mature look on his face, and said, "Would you like to come home with me and look at my household registration form?"

At this time, there was no resident ID card or household registration book, only a stamped household registration certificate.

Xu Huizhen glanced: "Who will go home with you?"

Turned around and went to chop vegetables.

"Are you still arrogant? I will take you home sooner or later." He Yuzhu whispered.

"What are you muttering about?" Xu Huizhen, who was chopping vegetables, turned to ask.

"Nothing." He Yuzhu was startled. It would be embarrassing if she heard him.

I used to work half a day and get off work at 5 o'clock. The reason was that the kitchen had to eat dinner after 5 o'clock, and I couldn't eat this meal after working half a day.

Today is the first time that we had dinner together and then started the evening business.

After dealing with the first wave of customers, Xu Huizhen also learned how to make it and let her make it.

Hong Henian called He Yuzhu over: "From now on, you can help me with the dishes at night, and you can also cook simple dishes when you encounter them."

"it is good."

Ordinary individual guests are in the lobby and can let Erzao cook. However, if some dignitaries come to eat, they will be specially marked in front.

Such dishes are all made in large stoves, and the dishes suitable for He Yuzhu are the ones ordered in the hall.

He Yuzhu's Sichuan cuisine has reached level 5, and he is not afraid of cooking at all, and can fully meet the requirements of individual customers.

After all, you can't leave all the dishes to the chef alone, that would be impossible.

Hong Henian quickly asked He Yuzhu to take over the cooking. He stayed by the side, staring at the key points and making a few remarks.

The same dish is cooked differently in the hands of different chefs. Hong Henian also took this opportunity to pass on his experience to He Yuzhu.

Every time he cooked a dish, Hong Henian would hold a piece next to it with chopsticks. After tasting it, he would hand it to the waiter.

Everyone in the kitchen saw He Yuzhu cooking. This is how the master teaches his apprentices. None of them said much, but they were secretly jealous of He Yuzhu who could start cooking so quickly.

At some point, the head chef Zhang Zusheng came to look behind He Yuzhu for a while and asked: "Is this okay? Is he walking too fast?"
