Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 38 Rainwater, who asked you to work?



Zhang Zusheng nodded: "Ignorance is not a crime. If you want to have other dishes, please tell me. This time I have added a menu to the front for you. From now on, cucumbers will be cucumbers, and hawthorn honey cucumbers will be a separate dish. "

"Ok, I see."

Zhang Yong was furious when he saw it, but He Yuzhu passed the test easily.

He left in anger and returned to his place to chop vegetables.

Zhang Zusheng asked again: "I checked the cold dishes you made earlier. The taste is different from those made by others. It is sour and sweet. Do you have a special recipe?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, my father and my grandfather are both chefs. It can be said that it is a family tradition. Today, we added sweet and sour sauce to the dish."

"Well, besides sweet and sour juice, do you have any other recipes?"

"Yes, there are more than ten kinds including sesame oil juice, red oil juice, five spice juice, garlic sauce, eggplant flavored juice, ginger juice, sweet and sour sauce, etc."

Some of them are general, and some are only for two or three kinds of cold dishes, but these can be said to cover all cold dishes.

Zhang Zusheng nodded, said hello, and then said: "If you have any special needs, just tell me and I will arrange for someone to go purchase it."

Each school of chefs has its own characteristics, and even different people have different secret recipes and produce different tastes.

Since the chef's skills have been passed down from three generations, I believe He Yuzhu's words.

"When the dishes are ready, ask me to taste them. After confirmation, they can be sent to the front for customers."

He Yuzhu nodded quickly and agreed.

Seeing that the matter was over, Ye Xiangqun just said hello to He Yuzhu and went back to pay his bills.

There was also a backlog of cold dishes that had not yet been made, so I took the time to make some. Under Zhang Zusheng's supervision, He Yuzhu quickly made the backlog of cold dishes.

The juice used for cold dishes is very simple to prepare. Just mix it in a blank bowl, stir evenly, and pour it on top of the cold dishes.

He Yuzhu cooked several dishes in a row and asked Zhang Zusheng to taste them. He felt that they were more delicious than those prepared by others before. After confirming that there were no problems, he let He Yuzhu make bold improvements.

Of course, if you change too many recipes, you still have to notify the head chef Zhang Zusheng.

Finally, Zhang Zusheng asked: "You are still an apprentice now, right?"

"Yeah, I've only been here for a month."

Zhang Zusheng turned around and left without asking any more questions.

He Yuzhu was a little confused and didn't know what he meant by asking this.

Although everyone works together in the kitchen, there are still specific divisions.

Junior chefs, mid-level chefs, and senior chefs were only introduced in the 80s.

As for the 10-level professional system, it will not be implemented until after the public-private partnership, where chefs are graded and their wages are set.

At present, it is still a private restaurant, and the kitchen is generally divided into large kitchen, second kitchen, third kitchen, helpers and apprentices.

He Yuzhu's master, Hong Henian, is good at Sichuan cuisine, and he gets Da Zao's salary.

Senior brother Ye Xiangqun is the second master. Wang Song's knife skills are worse than his own, but he is already a helper.

He Yuzhu has only been here for a month and is still an apprentice. Logically speaking, he should get 10 yuan a month, but he leaves at 5pm every day and can only get half of it.

Does Zhang Zusheng want to increase his salary?

He Yuzhu just thought about it and threw away the idea.

It doesn't matter whether the salary is increased or not, as long as I can make cold dishes here.

Now that Zhang Zusheng has agreed, He Yuzhu no longer hides it.

I just took a few big bowls and made more of all the commonly used condiments, so that I didn't have to configure each one separately.

After grabbing the cold dish, directly scoop two spoons of soup into it, stir it, and a cold dish is ready.

This way the dish comes out faster.

During the afternoon break, Hong Henian called He Yuzhu to him and asked carefully about the morning's situation.

He Yuzhu told everything that happened.

Hong Henian didn't say much, he just praised He Yuzhu for his ability and the cold dishes he prepared were indeed delicious.

Finally, he warned: "You have memorized your cold dish recipe correctly and don't tell anyone, you know?" This is an heirloom craft. '

Then he talked about some examples of how people in the past went through great hardships to learn skills.

Although the profession of chef is very humble and its status in society is not high, it has been an extreme environment for cooks to starve to death since ancient times.

With superb cooking skills and recipes, you can ensure that your descendants will live a good life.

He Daqing had already run away, and He Yuzhu was only 16 years old now. Hong Henian emphasized it to prevent He Yuzhu's formula from being coaxed away by others.

"The master I know will not tell others easily."

Hong Henian taught some key points of braised vegetables by the way. Since He Yuzhu is now good at making cold dishes, he won't be able to learn stir-frying in a short time. It just happens that he can learn how to roast meat.

A chef must know all the processes in the kitchen. The seven major types of work are complementary to each other. No one of them can be lacking, otherwise he cannot exist as an independent chef.

Before getting off work, He Yuzhu made a lot of various soups, and then taught Wang Song which cold dishes corresponded to each soup, so that the taste of the cold dishes at night would not change.

After explaining, He Yuzhu left the kitchen, feeling a little annoyed when he left the alley.

There must be more people eating here at night. I left the restaurant at 5 o'clock, so I lost the experience of doing shopping at night.

You can lose more than 100 experience points in one day, and even more experience will be lost in the long run.

But there is a 7-year-old He Yuyu at home, and he doesn't want to leave her to the deaf old lady or Aunt Yi.

If you owe them a debt like this, you will have to pay it back with your own meat when the time comes.

After walking a few steps, a system message suddenly popped up in his sight:

[Chef experience plus one]

He Yuzhu stopped immediately, confused. How could walking by himself increase his chef experience?

Before I could figure out what was going on, another prompt appeared in front of me:

[Chef experience plus one]

This time, He Yuzhu at least confirmed that he could not gain chef experience just by walking.

After thinking about it, he understood that he had left the prepared soup there, and Wang Song should have used the soup to make cold dishes.

The system automatically counts the experience on its head, and the most important thing for the cold dish is to prepare the soup.

Once you have a guess, you no longer have to worry about it. Anyway, this is a good thing for you.

He Yuzhu happily returned to the courtyard. When he entered the middle courtyard, he saw a busy scene.

Some furniture has been piled up in the yard, and Yi Zhonghai, Aunt Yi and Jia Dongxu are moving things out of the west wing.

The three of them had either large or small items in their hands, but Mrs. Zhang was lucky enough to stand by and direct, instead of moving the items herself.

He Yuzhu shook his head, this woman was really lazy, but it was none of his business, so he didn't say anything more.

Just as he was about to enter his room, he saw He Yuyu coming out of the west wing holding a square stool in his hands.

He Yuzhu suddenly became furious and shouted: "Yu Yu, who asked you to work?"
