Chapter 51: Milk Powder Delivery
Chen Dalu said indignantly: "This He Daqing is really a piece of shit!"
"What are you talking about?!" Manager Gongfang of Fengzeyuan just came in from outside at this time.
"Manager!" Chen Dalu called out, and said, "I was telling Lao Fan about his apprentice He Yuzhu. His apprentice took the exam today and won first place. You don't know that today's assessment is the most difficult chef assessment in recent years." Then Chen Dalu introduced the content and process of the assessment in detail. When talking about He Yuzhu's use of vegetable root soup to make boiled cabbage, he unconsciously smacked his lips. It seemed that he was savoring the taste just now.
Manager Gong Fang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are the dishes cooked by that kid really as good as you say?!"
Chen Dalu replied: "It is even better than that."
Manager Gong Fang frowned and fell into deep thought. Recently, many chefs in Fengze Garden have reached retirement age. Many chefs in the second and third kitchens have not yet reached the standard. If He Yuzhu's cooking skills are really as good as Chen Dalu said, he can definitely poach him.
When Fan Changming and Chen Dalu saw that Manager Gongfang was frowning and not speaking, they looked at each other and shrugged at the same time. When the two were about to leave, Manager Gongfang said, "Master Fan, when do you think you can call He Yuzhu over?!"
Fan Changming said, "Manager, I haven't contacted He Yuzhu for a long time. I don't know anything about his current situation. How about I give you his home address. You go find him yourself?!"
Manager Gong Fang thought that this was a good idea, so he asked Fan Changming for the address of He Yuzhu's home and planned to go to He Yuzhu when he was free in two days.
After lunch, He Yuzhu said hello to He Yushui and pushed his bicycle out. Yan Bugui, who was tidying up the flowers and plants, heard the voice, looked up at He Yuzhu, and asked, "Zhuzi, where are you going?!"
He Yuzhu replied, "I have nothing to do, so I went out for a walk." Then he glanced at the flowerpot next to Yan Bugui and said, "Third Uncle, everyone says you are calculating. I just realized that you only calculate for petty gains and have a bad reputation. If I were you, I would plant a few sunflowers in the flowerpot. Not only will they look good, but you can also harvest a few kilograms of melon seeds during the New Year. There is so much space in the wooden trough, so you can plant some vegetables. Isn't that better than growing flowers?!"
Yan Bugui was stunned by what He Yuzhu said, as if he had opened the door to a new world for Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui came back to his senses and said, "Zhuzi, you are smart!!" Then he asked, "Zhuzi, why didn't you remind me earlier?!"
He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle San, what was your relationship with me like in the past?!"
Yan Bugui thought for a moment and replied, "It's neither good nor bad."
"Isn't it over now?! With the relationship we had before, why should I tell you all this?! Third uncle, you should think about it carefully!" After saying that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard gate.
Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu's back, smiled and muttered, "This kid!" Then Yan Bugui hurried back home and said, "Ruihua! Ruihua!"
The third aunt came out from the inner room and asked, "Old Yan, what's the matter?!"
Yan Bugui didn't beat around the bush and told his wife what He Yuzhu had just said. After hearing what her husband said, the third aunt's eyes lit up and she said, "That's a good idea! If you have a lot, you can trade vegetables with people." Then she asked, "Old Yan, why didn't you think of this before?!"
Yan Bugui sighed and said, "He Yuzhu is a cook after all, and he deals with these things every day. It's normal that we can't think of it."
He Yuzhu was riding his bicycle on the street and happened to see Wang Xia coming out of the department store with a sad face. He Yuzhu frowned slightly, rode his bicycle to Wang Xia's side, and called out, "Auntie Wang."
Wang Xia heard the shout, looked at He Yuzhu, and asked, "Zhuzi, why are you here?!"
He Yuzhu said, "Well, I'm just wandering around the streets because I have nothing to do." Then he asked, "What's wrong with you?!"
Wang Xia sighed and said, "My wife gave me a grandson some time ago. It was originally a good thing. But my wife didn't have enough milk. I got two milk powder coupons a few days ago, and wanted to come here today to buy two bags of milk powder. I didn't expect that the supply and marketing cooperative was out of stock, and even the department store was out of stock."
He Yuzhu said, "Auntie Wang, why don't you say anything more? Go back! I'll bring it to you later."
Wang Xia was stunned and asked, "Zhu Zi, can you get milk powder?!"
He Yuzhu replied, "A while ago, I was cooking for a few leaders. Among them was a man from the Plateau Province Army, and they were trial-producing yak milk powder. He gave me a box. Yu Shui and I don't like to drink this stuff. It's at home! I'll go back and get it for you!" After saying that, He Yuzhu turned the car around and drove away without waiting for Wang Xia to react.
"Zhuzi!" Wang Xia called out, and seeing that He Yuzhu didn't respond, she sighed, stopped looking for milk powder outside, and went straight home.
"You're back?!" Wang Xia heard her husband's voice as she walked to the door of her house.
Wang Xia asked: "Why are you outside?!"
Guan Zhenshan smiled bitterly and said, "The child is hungry and crying loudly, I came out for a walk." Then Guan Zhenshan saw that Wang Xia had nothing in her hands and asked, "Didn't you buy the milk powder?!"
Wang Xia replied: "I didn't buy it. It's out of stock now. But I met Zhuzi on the way back. He said he had yak milk powder from Gaoyuan Province. He said he would send it over soon."
"Auntie Wang!" Speak of the devil and he will appear. As soon as Wang Xia finished speaking, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to Wang Xia's side. He Yuzhu parked the bicycle, put the cardboard box on the back seat of the bicycle into Wang Xia's hand, turned the bicycle around and was about to leave. Guan Zhenshan grabbed He Yuzhu and said, "Young man, take the money!"
He Yuzhu looked at Guan Zhenshan and said, "Uncle, aren't you asking me to make a mistake?!"
Guan Zhenshan asked: "What mistake?!"
He Yuzhu opened his mouth and said: "Speculation!" He Yuzhu then explained: "This is a gift from someone I cooked for. I gave it to Aunt Wang as a gift. It's not against the law. If I took your money, wouldn't it be considered as reselling? If someone reports it, Aunt Wang and I will be in trouble."
"Hey!" Guan Zhenshan was immediately amused by He Yuzhu. Guan Zhenshan said, "You are too young to try this trick on me! I won't give you money, but I can give you things, right?!"
He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, don't give me the things. To be honest, I really don't like the things in your house. My family wants to renovate the house, so I'll ask Aunt Wang to introduce me to some reliable masters."
Wang Xia knew He Yuzhu's temper and his nature of asking for a name, so she tried to smooth things over and said, "Lao Guan, please don't make things difficult for Zhuzi. Take the milk powder in first, and I'll take Zhuzi with me."
"My Aunt Wang is still the best!" He Yuzhu said to Guan Zhenshan with a smile.
Guan Zhenshan looked at He Yuzhu, then at Wang Xia, and then heard the crying of a child coming from inside, and compromised: "Okay! I'll do as you say!" After that, Guan Zhenshan took the box and turned into the yard. After Guan Zhenshan left, Wang Xia smiled and said: "I have been married to him for so many years, but I didn't expect that he would end up in your hands. Let's go! Let's go to Maoer Hutong!"
"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded, got on the bicycle, and after Wang Xia sat firmly on the back seat, he rode the bicycle towards Maoer Hutong.
