Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 73 Are you going to be Brother Zhuzi’s wife?

Two other police officers arrested Zhang Jing'an directly: "Don't move, you are under arrest."

Everyone else raised their hands and looked at the group of policemen in white uniforms in surprise, and they were so frightened that they couldn't move.

He Yuzhu saw Tiedan and Ye Dapeng among them. In the morning, He Yuzhu asked Tian Zao how things were going with the enemy agents.

But Tian Zao said that he had no clues yet and needed to wait, and told He Yuzhu not to reveal anything in front of Zhang Yong.

Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving at work, the police came in and arrested Zhang Yong and Zhang Jing'an.

Zhang Yong looked ugly and shouted: "Let me go, you have arrested the wrong person."

"It's you who are captured and taken away." Tiedan said.

Zhang Zusheng looked at his son and nephew, and waited for a long time before accepting the fact. He shakily took out a pack of cigarettes and refilled them for Ye Dapeng, who was leading the team.

"Sir, have you arrested the wrong person? They are both just cooks."

"They are the ones who have been arrested. We have already done the investigation and we will definitely not arrest the wrong person." Ye Dapeng didn't want to say more since the two people had been caught directly, so he wanted to turn around and leave.

Zhang Zusheng became anxious, pulled Ye Dapeng's sleeve and asked: "Sir, what crime have they committed? They must give an explanation."

"Zhang Jing'an and Zhang Yong's wife colluded and committed adultery. Isn't this crime enough?"

With these words, Ye Dapeng led his men to escort the two brothers and left the kitchen.

Zhang Zusheng was usually energetic and conscientious in his work, but after suffering such a disaster, his face had already lost all color.

Standing there watching his son being taken away, suddenly everything went dark and he fell to the ground.

Several apprentices hurriedly came over to help the person up and pinched him. However, his mental state was obviously much worse and he was sent out to rest.

Everyone else gathered together to discuss the news. The news was so exciting.

We all knew privately before that Zhang Jing'an had a lot of fun, frequented the eight alleys, and was not familiar with the widow.

He didn't expect that he would hook up with Zhang Yong's wife. Although they are not biological brothers, they are still cousins.

This directly caused the cousin's wife to sleep with him.

Although several of Zhang Zusheng's disciples were still there, they were still secretly talking in low voices.

Xu Hui said happily: "Brother Zhuzhu, this is great. Zhang Yong bullied you so much before, but it turns out he is a bad guy. If he can be directly arrested by the police, then he must have other problems."

Ye Dapeng only mentioned Zhang Jing'an's problem, but he also arrested Zhang Yong without mentioning a word about it.

This is also the focus of everyone's discussion. What on earth could Zhang Yong have committed and be arrested?

After all, it was Zhang Jing'an who stole someone else's wife, not Zhang Yong.

"Yeah, it's okay now, Vanilla shouldn't be afraid."

After that incident, Vanilla initially thought about changing her job, but she couldn't find the right one after searching around.

Nowadays, many people in rural areas are moving to cities to look for jobs. Although there are still many enemy agents, they have been liberated and the world is at peace. There are so many people working in cities that it takes thousands of years to find a job. Difficulties abound.

"Vanilla will definitely be very happy. I don't have to worry anymore. I'll tell her."

After Xu Huizhen said that, she hurried out to find vanilla.

The whole kitchen was in chaos for a while, and then shopkeeper Hu came over and held a meeting to calm everyone down.

Soon the kitchen returned to normal. After all, the arrest of the two of them had nothing to do with the others. Instead, the Zhang family lost three people. The kitchen began to lack people, and everyone became busy.

In addition to being responsible for the cold dishes, He Yuzhu also had to help cut the vegetables. He was much busier than before.

The next morning, He Yuzhu went to the wrestling ring by the moat to practice again.

Waiting for Tiedan to come over and ask.

But Tiedan only said that it was still in the interrogation stage and did not reveal a word of information to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was a little disappointed, but he also knew that the confidentiality regulations were not suitable for him to inquire more.

There was good news when I went to work. I temporarily hired two helpers to help, so I could relax a little bit.

I originally thought that I had nothing to do with him, but in the afternoon, Master Hong Henian greeted He Yuzhu and said:

"Zhuzi, come here."

He Yuzhu threw away the chess piece in his hand and came out and said, "What's the matter, Master?"

"Good thing you come with me."

He Yuzhu followed into the manager's office.

Shopkeeper Hu took He Yuzhu and chatted for a while, and then got down to business.

"Zhuzi, the head chef has taken a long leave, but we can't be short of people in the kitchen. From today on, you will be promoted to the second kitchen. From now on, you will be paid 40 yuan a month."

In the morning, shopkeeper Hu and his boss went to visit Zhang Zusheng, but his son was so angry that he lay on the bed and sighed.

In order to have a good reputation, I helped my nephew and son resign from their jobs. At least it was said that I resigned on my own initiative and was not fired because I was caught by the police.

Moreover, Zhang Zusheng cannot go to work for a while and has to rest at home for a while.

This leaves the kitchen with one less knife maker and two stove cooks.

One of Zhang Zusheng's apprentices was temporarily promoted to deal with it. When Zhang Zusheng comes back, He Yuzhu's cooking skills here are enough to handle the work of the second stove, and he can also start cooking.

He Yuzhu did not expect that he would change from a cold dish chef to a stove chef so quickly, but this was a good thing, after all, he earned 5 yuan more a month.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, I will cook carefully."

Shopkeeper Hu was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's attitude, and after a few more words of encouragement, the master and apprentice came out.

An arrangement was made on the way, so that Ye Xiangqun and the newly promoted person would guard a stove together, and the two would cooperate with each other.

He Yuzhu learned cooking from his master.

Hong Henian said: "Your basic skills are very good. From now on, I will leave all the stir-fry dishes to you. I will only control the individual dishes."

"Well, I will definitely study seriously."

The two of them returned to the kitchen. There was no place for them to play chess, so they had no choice but to return to Liangcaitan.

Xu Huizhen asked: "Brother Zhuzhu, what are you doing out there?"

"I changed my position again and became a stove cook with my master."

"What? Then you got a salary increase again?"

He Yuzhu said with some pride: "Yes, it's just that the increase is not more than 5 yuan a month."

Xu Huizhen was very happy: "That's not a lot. I only earn 10 yuan a month."

At this time, there are many people and few things. A helper like Xu Huizhen only earns 10 yuan a month. Except for him, who is a young girl, the other water table helpers are all aunts in their 50s and [-]s.

The money I received was the minimum salary, so I saved 10 yuan and it was enough to support two people.

Xu Hui was really happy and then a little envious, and then asked: "What should I do with the cold dishes?"

"It's still the same. I'm still in the kitchen. From now on, I'll make the ingredients and you'll do it." "Then can you teach me?" Xu Huizhen asked with some anxiety.

He Yuzhu asked: "Do you want to learn the recipes of cold dishes and braised vegetables?"

Xu Huizhen nodded sheepishly: "Yes, I want to open a braised vegetable restaurant in the future, and then sell Erguotou."

Then ask, “Can you teach me the recipe?”

"This is not easy to handle. You must know that the recipe of this cold dish is passed down from our family. It is passed down from male to female. Do you still want to learn it?"

Xu Huizhen's cheeks started to heat up as soon as it was said that it should be passed down from male to female. This meant that it could be passed on to sons and daughters-in-law, but it could not be passed on even to daughters-in-law.

If you want to learn, do you have to be Brother Zhuzi's wife?

Glancing at He Yuzhu who was staring at him, his cheeks turned even redder.

He Yuzhu looks a little older than his actual age, but he is kind-hearted, honest and reliable.

What's even more rare is that he also has good skills and family cooking skills. He is good at cold dishes, braised vegetables and stir-fry dishes.

When it comes to dating him, I think my family would have no problem with it.

Xu Huizhen said shyly: "I'm still young, and my mother won't let me."

He Yuzhu actually just wanted to refuse Xu Huizhen's request. Although he liked Xu Huizhen, they were still young and it was not the time to have a relationship now.

If he handed the formula directly to her, she would definitely be scolded.

Right now, she only needs to prepare the seasonings every day, and Xu Huizhen can just use them directly. There is no need to master the formula at all.

Unless the two of them can establish a clear relationship and become the He family's daughter-in-law, then they can teach her some exclusive recipes.

It's too early to say this now, after all, she is still just a little girl.

I didn't expect Xu Huizhen to say this sentence. Could it be...
He Yuzhu shook his head, without thinking too much, and said, "You should practice your knife skills first. Don't be busy with the seasoning. Let's talk about it later."

Xu Huizhen lowered her head, hummed softly, and then went to work.

He Yuzhu called up the system panel, first upgraded the Sichuan cuisine to level 6, and then raised the heat to level [-], thus spending all the accumulated experience points.

Previously, when Sichuan cuisine was at Level 5, stir-fried dishes were already acceptable, but in order to be on the safe side and build his reputation, He Yuzhu raised it to another level.

If you stir-fry once in a while, you don't need the support of a high heat, but if you want to stir-fry on the stove for a long time, you need to raise the heat.

In the evening, shopkeeper Hu came directly and announced that Ye Xiangqun would be guarding a stove and He Yuzhu would cook with Hong Henian.

Several of Zhang Zusheng's apprentices were very angry, but they couldn't say anything more. After all, there was a shortage of people in the kitchen, and the skills of Ye Xiangqun and He Yuzhu were obvious to all, and they were qualified for this position.

Speaking of being the second cook, Hong Henian stood beside him with his hands behind his back, letting He Yuzhu cook all the dishes.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then started to work quickly.

It is already very hot in the capital in June, especially in the kitchen where coal is burned, and standing by the stove is already covered in sweat.

However, He Yuzhu was not affected by the high temperature at all, and his cooking movements were smooth, unhurried, natural and harmonious.

Every movement is very precise. No matter what kind of condiment it is, it can be scooped out with a large spoon accurately without any unnecessary movements.

The stir-fried dishes are also cooked at a moderate heat, as if they have been cooked for many years.

Hong Henian tasted every dish and handed it over to the waiter after confirming it was correct.

"Zhuzi, do you know what is the most important thing about cooking?"

"Hot temperature?" He Yuzhu asked in disbelief.

"No, it's the taste, so we must taste every dish personally to make sure there is nothing wrong with the dish before it can be served to the front. Do you understand?"

Seeing Hong Henian being so serious, He Yuzhu nodded doubtfully.

Even with my eyes closed, I have the systematic skills to ensure that every dish will be cooked correctly and there will be absolutely no problem with the taste. It is impossible to mistake salt for sugar.

When Hong Henian saw He Yuzhu's appearance, he knew that he didn't understand what he meant. After all, today was the first day on the stove.

"Are you stupid? We only have more meat in our daily work meals? Don't we all expect to taste the food?"

Hong Henian could only remind the honest and honest He Yuzhu directly.

For work meals, we can only stir-fry meat and vegetables, and two or three people need to eat one portion.

Restaurants have different standards than ordinary home cooking. When frying a meat dish at home, you can add two ounces or half a catty of meat.

But restaurants are different. A portion of fried shredded pork is three ounces of raw meat, a plate of braised pork is four ounces of cooked meat, and a portion of braised pork elbow is half a pound of cooked meat.

Even if it is a working meal, the chef cannot add more meat and must follow the standard.

As the saying goes, if the cook does not steal the grain, there will be no harvest. Since ancient times, there have been no cooks who have starved to death.

Why are all the cooks so big and thick?

This is because every cook must taste the food. When it is about to be fried, only by actually tasting it can we confirm how the dish tastes and the heat, whether the various seasonings are properly matched, and whether there are any problems.

When you want to taste it, do you fish out a piece of meat or a vegetable?
Don't think about this issue at all. Individuals will choose to eat a piece of meat.

You can't just pick out the meat and reweigh it before serving.

Besides, you only need to eat a piece of meat in each dish. No cook would be stupid enough to eat only one dish.

Hearing Hong Henian's reminder, He Yuzhu finally understood what the master meant.

No matter what your business is, tasting every dish is a must.

This will also prevent you from cooking the wrong dish.

After discovering it in advance, you can make another one temporarily. You can't serve it to the customer and the customer will pick out the mistakes and then make it again.

"I understand, Master." He Yuzhu smiled and scooped out a piece of meat from the pot.

Then, using a skill that every chef must have, he sucked the meat slices over without letting his lips touch the spoon.

Glancing at it, I saw Shopkeeper Hu standing at the door of the kitchen.

"Master, how do you like the sliced ​​meat I made?"

Hong Henian also saw it. After He Yuzhu served the food, he picked up a small piece with his chopsticks:

"Yes, the taste is just right, but the heat is a bit lacking. Pay more attention to the heat next time. I told you to do this."

Hong Henian turned on the teaching mode and fried the next pork slices directly by himself.

The chef is good at this, he can eat openly and the boss won't say anything else.

However, this can only be eaten on the spot and is not allowed to be taken away privately. Like Silly Zhu, he chopped a chicken in half and put it in his lunch box before the food was served. This kind of thing is definitely against the rules.

Every chef opened his mouth to eat, and all he could do was become fat.

He Yuzhu cooked more than 100 dishes in one night. The experience value increased more or less according to the difficulty. For ordinary stir-fry, it was just a little experience. For stew, it was a little more. Some were 2 points, some were 3 points. More than 200 experience points were added in the evening, and the number with cold dishes was over 300.

After finishing the work, the three masters and apprentices rode two cars back to the alley next to Shichahai. He Yuzhu brought the rainwater. Before leaving, Hong Henian said:
"Zhuzi, the day after tomorrow is a good day. Then I will invite the ancestor to formally accept you as my disciple."
