Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 175 Leaving Fengze Garden, Liu Haizhong is proud

He Yuzhu's employment in the factory was settled, and Team Leader Yang and Lou Zhenhua left with satisfaction!
"Haha, Lao Lou, He Yuzhu is not a simple person!"

"His master is even more extraordinary. I didn't expect that I couldn't figure it out even after decades of experience in the business world!"

"Yes, it turns out that they have had this intention for a long time!"

"I feel like things aren't that simple. He Yuzhu must have something we don't know if he agreed so easily!"

"Oh? Why did Old Lou say that?"

"Old Yang, what do you think an untrained chef would most like to do?"

"Of course, I will work hard to learn cooking skills and improve my level!"

"That's right, the chef apprentice wants to be with his master the most. Even if the master reveals a little bit, he will be happy for a long time. But He Yuzhu agreed very readily!
As far as I know, they have a very good relationship as master and apprentice. Wang Dana intends to train He Yuzhu to take over as the chef of Fengze Garden, and he will also be his last disciple!
I originally thought there was no hope, and the most likely candidate would be Wang Dana's third or fourth disciple. I didn't expect that he actually agreed. This is incredible!"

Lou Zhenhua really didn't expect that, seeing that Lao Yang was "eager to recruit talents", he couldn't bear to let Lao Yang down, so he went there together!
To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Wang Dana would kick Lao Wang out, which would be embarrassing!

"Old Lou, what you said makes sense, but He Yuzhu is young after all, and Master Wang has several apprentices. It shouldn't matter whether He Yuzhu stays or leaves, right?"

"No, Lao Yang, there is one thing you don't understand. He Yuzhu is very qualified. Both Wang Dana and the manager of Fengzeyuan are full of praise for him!
If not, how could Fengzeyuan offer He Yuzhu such a high salary?

The wages of craftsmen are linked to their abilities. In other words, as long as their skills are good enough, there is no upper limit to their wages!

Master Wang believed that He Yuzhu had such potential, and even secretly lamented that he was not skilled enough and could not teach much!

Wang Dana’s accomplishments in Sichuan cuisine are among the best in Beijing. If Sichuan cuisine were not for being a popular cuisine with a limited audience, Wang Dana’s achievements would be much more than that!

Therefore, you can imagine how talented He Yuzhu is in cooking!"

"He didn't mean his sister?"

"Old Yang, you spend most of your time in the army and have a straightforward personality, so just listen to these excuses from the common people!

My sister is definitely a factor, I don’t deny that, but this is not the most critical thing. I haven’t figured out the most critical thing yet, but I’m sure it’s not this!”

"You mean, he knows about our affairs? But how is that possible?"

"Haha, Lao Yang, it's not that mysterious. The restructuring of the steel mill is still kept secret. How could a cook know about it?"

"So what do you mean?"

"He Yuzhu is only 18 years old, which means there are only two factors that can affect He Yuzhu:

His sister is one thing. I know how much He Yuzhu dotes on his sister.
As for the other one, this guy’s target might be in our factory!

Don't forget, his mother died young and his father left home. These two people will definitely not have any influence on him. There is only one reason for that!"

"Old Lou, it's possible that what you said is true. What a pity!"

"Oh?"

"If we had investigated more carefully, perhaps we wouldn't be so passive as we are today, being played around by them!"

“Haha, this is negotiation. Although the business world is like a battlefield, it is even more cruel than a battlefield!
This is how business negotiations work. Lao Yang, we are old brothers, so I will just speak frankly!
Your personality puts you at a disadvantage in negotiations. There is nothing wrong with being straightforward, but it may not be the case when you meet someone who is cunning!

There are many things to pay attention to in business negotiations, especially for managers!
First of all, we need to master the information. For example, in the case of He Yuzhu, we did not have complete information, which made the whole situation passive.

You must pay attention in the future. Before any negotiation, you must obtain as much information as possible. The more comprehensive the better!

Only in this way can you avoid putting yourself at a disadvantage and becoming passive everywhere! "

"Thank you, Lao Lou!"

Lou Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction. He analyzed the possible situation of He Yuzhu, and then pointed out to Yang Weimin that he should not only give advice but also make friends with him!
Yang Weimin was chosen as the team leader. There is a high probability that Yang Weimin is in charge of the steel rolling mill, so the person behind Yang Weimin must be no simple person!
Although there are people behind him, there is nothing wrong in keeping a good relationship with him. It may come in handy at the critical moment!

He Yuzhu was quite satisfied with the result. The salary was 400,000 yuan right after entering the factory, which was not a low salary!
If he gets good grades in the next two years, his position in the cafeteria will be unshakable!

"Zhu Zi, are you really going to the steel mill?"

“Master, you know the reason, this is an opportunity!
Yu Shui is about to go to school, so the time is relatively flexible!
Qiuyue is also in the factory, which is beneficial in many ways!"

"Pity..."

Wang Dana let out a long sigh. He always felt that given his cooking skills, it was a shame for him to go to the steel mill now!

With such qualifications, it is time to learn the skills steadily. When it comes to cooking skills, the small canteen in the steel rolling mill is definitely not as good as Fengze Garden!

"Master, it's not a pity. Going there doesn't mean you won't be a chef anymore. Maybe things will be better in the future!

Since the steel mill is recruiting canteen cooks, there will definitely be more hospitality and plenty of opportunities to practice!
Although it can’t be compared with Fengzeyuan, it’s probably about the same. My cooking skills won’t fall behind, and I’m ready to accept Master’s assessment at any time!”

"Well, I hope so. Everyone has their own aspirations, and you all have to go out!

You have a better future, so your teacher will naturally not stop you. The only thing I’m worried about is that you’ll neglect your cooking skills!

Brat, I warn you, if your cooking skills decline, don't blame me for expelling you from the sect!"

Wang Dana looked at He Yuzhu seriously. This was both an instruction and a warning!

"Yes, Master!"

"Well, go get busy!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Zhu Zi, are you really going to leave?"

"Yes, Big Brother, we have already agreed to work in the steel mill!"

"Junior brother, you should think about it. The steel mill is not as good as Fengze Garden!

We are cooks, not workers. Although the wages are the same as here, there are fewer opportunities to get started!"

"Yes, yes!" The fellow disciples surrounded He Yuzhu, hoping that He Yuzhu would change his mind. After all, this was a big deal and it was not a easy decision!

“My fellow brothers, it has been decided that Yu Shui will go to primary school this year, and I simply cannot take care of him!
There is no such problem in the steel rolling mill. It is convenient to pick up and send goods, right?

His mother died early, and you all know He Daqing's situation!
I only have this one sister, I can't stop her from going to school, right?"

"Oh, well, come and practice more when you have nothing to do!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will!"

"Ok!"

Afterwards, the atmosphere in the kitchen became a bit depressing. He Yuzhu is a nice person, and they were really reluctant to leave!
They were all recalling the scenes between their fellow apprentices. This kind of life was about to end!
They competed in cooking skills, boasted about everything, chatted about women, etc. Unexpectedly, they are facing separation today!

They originally thought that after Wang Dana retired, his fellow apprentices would take control of the kitchen at Fengze Garden. Once brothers, always brothers!

Now it seems that as time goes by, perhaps they brothers will go to other places?

He Yuzhu found the manager and told him in detail about his upcoming visit to the steel mill!
Of course, these are just what has happened so far, and we definitely can’t say what will happen in the future!
The manager is a good person and takes good care of him. He will never and cannot forget this kindness!

Although he knew the purpose, he had benefited from it, so he naturally couldn't just walk away!
"Zhu Zi, I originally thought that you would take over Master Wang's position and become the chef of Fengze Garden!

But I never thought that you would make such a decision!"

"Manager, I'm afraid I'm disappointing you. My sister is still young and there's no one at home, so I can't take care of her at school!

Fengze Garden is really nice, and I don’t want to leave, but when we are in this world, there are always some things we can’t let go of, such as family, right?
At this time, the steel mill came to my door. After much thought, I decided to go. I must let my sister grow up happily and not suffer from lack of education! "

“You’re right, but don’t relax your cooking skills. If you go to the steel mill, your cooking skills will definitely be outstanding!

But your foundation is precisely your cooking skills. If you have no rivals there, you may stagnate or even waste your qualifications!
With a skill at your disposal, you can go anywhere and survive at any time! "

"Thank you for your teachings, I understand!"

"I hope so. As long as I am the manager of Fengze Garden, the door here will always be open to you!"

“Thank you, Manager!”

The manager was indeed reluctant to see He Yuzhu leave. The most important person in a restaurant is not the manager, let alone the boss!

If they quit there will be new bosses and managers, but the same cannot be said for the chefs!

A good chef can keep a restaurant going for decades, and this statement is not an exaggeration at all!
Only excellent cooking skills can keep guests, otherwise everything is out of the question!

When guests come to Fengze Garden for dinner, what attracts them is definitely whether the food is delicious!

Service attitude and so on are all based on the delicious food. Otherwise, the restaurant will face the dilemma of difficulty in maintaining its business!
Although He Yuzhu is not capable of taking on the main responsibility now, what about in the future?

He believed that Wang Dana would definitely meet this requirement before retiring, but unfortunately everyone has different ambitions!
He has worked here for decades and has deep feelings for Fengze Garden. Naturally, he doesn't want to see a lack of successors in the kitchen!
He Yuzhu could feel everyone's reluctance to leave, but he didn't expect that in just over a year, he had also developed a deep affection for this place!

But the trend was unstoppable, and the only explanation for leaving was that He Yushui had to go to school!
They also agreed with the reasons given by He Yuzhu!

They all saw how He Yuzhu treated his sister. They didn't notice it at other times, but now they really felt that it was not easy for Zhu!

I am still a young man, but I have to be both a father and a mother. It’s not easy!
It’s not surprising that everyone has such thoughts, after all, many people are already fathers or mothers!
People are very excited when they have their first child. They don’t even realize they are already a father or a mother. That wonderful feeling is indescribable!
When children are still unable to move, they are so cute no matter how you look at them. But when they reach the age where people and dogs are annoying, they realize how hard it is to be a parent!

I finally went to school and thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but there were more things that came with it: going to school, eating, and getting dressed were all problems!

He Yuzhu's younger sister is no different from his daughter. The only difference is the name. It is not surprising that they have such thoughts!
On the way home

He Yuzhu began to think about the time to get married. It should be neither too early nor too late. Too early would not be good either!
The house was built, but the house was still empty and the thirty-six legs were nowhere to be seen!
Is it possible to get furniture in one go? Of course it is possible!
But the origin of the money cannot be explained clearly. There is pork in the space that can be exchanged for money, but there is no way to explain it!
The last report is still fresh in our memory, and everyone knows that he has no money left!

If he gets married at this time, wouldn't it be telling everyone that his money came from an unknown source?
"Master Kuai, how much does it cost to customize thirty-six legs? When can you make them?"

"Haha, Zhuzi, it seems like you are preparing for marriage!
Actually, you don’t have to customize everything. The existing furniture is pretty good. I can renovate it for you and just give it some paint and you can use it!

The rest of the gap can be covered with a total of about one million!"

"How long will it take? I'll have to see if I can get the money together by then!"

"Well, about half a month, but I have another job. If you decide to order it, it will take about a month!"

"One month? Then I'll customize it as you said!"

"Okay, just take a look, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Master Kuai left without mentioning the balance. He Yuzhu is a good person and was introduced by Old Man Li. He doesn't believe that He Yuzhu would dare to default on his debt!
After much thought, He Yuzhu decided to ask his master to borrow two million yuan, so that he could get married as soon as the house was ready. This was the big deal!
"Zhu Zi, this is two pounds of pork belly and a plate of offal. I leave it to you!"

"Okay, Auntie, just put it here. I'll get it ready right away. It might be a little late today!"

"It's okay. Lao Liu said that the work must be completed tonight and there is no time to delay. You can work slower here!"

"Got it!"

I got off work early today, just in time to prepare the braised pork. Liu Haizhong kept his promise and prepared the ingredients!
"Guangqi, go to your house and make the noodles. The pancakes need to be made in advance too. I'll start after I finish making the soup!"

"Got it, Brother Zhuzi, I'll be there right away!"

As for the task of cleansing, it was of course Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng and the others!
He doesn’t know how to clean it. The “good job” must be done by Xu Damao and the other two. The stewed soup is more important!

The braised pork is just served in a makeshift way, it certainly can't be compared with those from the old shops, the soup is different!
Tonight, even if he had great skills, he couldn’t make the food taste as good as that of the century-old restaurant!
After finishing the work, they ate happily and Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction!
He has received a lot of flattery tonight. Being the 'center' of attention, isn't that what he has always been looking forward to?
Of course, some people were unhappy. The toilet was repaired, dinner was served for two days, and the last peach was picked by Liu Haizhong. It would be strange if they were happy!
He originally thought that everyone would appreciate it, after all, the materials he supplied were not bad!

Unfortunately, this was not the case. He now regretted his behavior last night, as he lost the big picture for the small!
I didn't want to let He Yuzhu succeed, and I couldn't help but refute him in a fit of anger, which resulted in the current situation!
This is equivalent to the 25,000-mile Long March, and he walked 20,000 miles before giving up;
Liu Haizhong joined from the 20,000 miles and eventually completed the remaining 5,000 miles!
In the end, he became a "traitor" despised by everyone, and Liu Haizhong became a hero who had walked the Long March. It would be strange if he was willing to accept this!
This is human nature. He Yuzhu gave everyone hope of eating luzhu, but Yi Zhonghai destroyed it with his own hands. Naturally, everyone was dissatisfied. People tend to forget things!

Liu Haizhong just filled their disappointment and successfully brought back their hope, so the neighbors naturally became more grateful to Liu Haizhong!
As for Yi Zhonghai's kindness, it has been offset by last night's rejection!

Life in Fengze Garden has come to an end. Next, I will go to the steel rolling mill, where I will spend quite a long time!

To be honest, he is quite looking forward to the life of workers in this era!
Happy National Day. I played with my son all day today and missed the movie. I can only update once. Please forgive me, fellow readers!
