Chapter 24 Learning to Cook (Shandong Cuisine)
After He Yuzhu and Yuyu moved into the small courtyard, He Yuzhu still sent Yuyu to his master's house every day and gave it to his wife. After all, the rain was still small, so he was worried about being alone at home. At the master's house, there was Xiaohu playing with the rain. Being alone for a long time will develop a withdrawn and introverted character.
Ever since he told He Yuzhu to find him a Shandong cuisine master that day, Fan Dakang approached Master Sun, a Shandong cuisine master who was also in Fengzeyuan.
Master Sun, named Sun Dahai, is a master of Shandong cuisine and is in charge of Shandong cuisine in Fengze Garden. Like his master Fan Dakang, he is only responsible for important guests, while his apprentice Wang Fusheng is responsible for the rest.
"Old Sun, what are you busy with?" Fan Dakang came to Sun Dahai's office and said.
"What else can we do as a cook? Just study food." Sun Dahai replied.
Sun Dahai stood up, poured a cup of tea for Fan Dakang, and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I can't come and see you if I have nothing to do." Fan Dakang said.
"We see each other every day. If you have nothing to do, come to my office. What can you say?" Sun Dahai said.
"It's something. My little apprentice, you know, right?" Fan Dakang said.
"You mean He Yuzhu," Sun Dahai asked.
"Yes, it's the pillar." Fan Dakang said.
"Did you know that at such a young age, your skills are as good as yours?" Sun Dahai said.
"You're not here to show off to me as your apprentice when you have nothing to do, are you?" Sun Dahai asked.
"No, absolutely not." Fan Dakang said.
"Then what are you doing here?" Sun Dahai asked.
"That's what happened. Zhu Zhu is ready to teach Sichuan cuisine, but he is too young. I don't feel comfortable letting him go. If he stays here, I have nothing to teach him. I just want to let him learn some other cuisines. Isn't that right? Have I come to see you?" Fan Dakang said.
"You mean, you want me to teach him Shandong cuisine?" Sun Dahai asked, "Are you willing to give me the pillar?"
"Whatever you are willing to give up or not, just be good to the pillars." Fan Dakang said.
"You are very generous, but I no longer accept apprentices. When I accepted Wang Fusheng, I said that he would be the last one." Sun Dahai said.
"Well, it seems that Zhu Zhu is not so lucky." Fan Dakang sighed.
"Well, you say hello to Manager Luan and ask him to come to the Shandong cuisine kitchen. It's up to him how much he can learn." Sun Dahai said.
Sun Dahai said this, which shows that He Yuzhu can follow him and learn from him, and it is not considered stealing.
"That's fine, it depends on his ability." Fan Dakang said. "I'll go talk to Manager Luan."
Fan Dakang left Sun Dahai's office, came to Manager Luan's office, knocked on the door, and entered.
"Master Fan, what's the matter?" Manager Luan asked.
"That's what it is. Zhuzi can't learn anything from me. I want Zhuzi to go to the Shandong cuisine kitchen and learn Shandong cuisine." Fan Dakang said.
"Zhuzi went to the Shandong cuisine kitchen, does Master Sun know?" Manager Luan asked.
"I have told Master Sun that I originally wanted Master Sun to accept Zhu Zhu as his apprentice, but Master Sun said that he no longer accepts apprentices. Let Zhu Zhu go to the kitchen and see how much he can learn." Fan Dakang said.
"I know that Master Sun will no longer accept apprentices. Since Master Sun agrees, I have no problem." Manager Luan said.
"However, when Zhu Zhu goes to the Shandong Cuisine Kitchen, his salary can only be 18 yuan as an apprentice's salary. The public manager had objections to the last increase in money for Zhu Zhu. Fortunately, Zhu Zhu's skills are good enough." Manager Luan said.
"That's right. If you don't work on the stove there, you should get the apprentice's salary." Fan Dakang said.
"Okay, as long as Master Sun and Zhu Zhu can agree, I have no problem." Manager Luan said.
"Okay, I'll go tell Zhu Zhu." Fan Dakang said.
Fan Dakang left the manager's office and came to the kitchen to find He Yuzhu.
"Zhuzi, that's what happened. Originally, I wanted you to become a master of Master Sun and learn Shandong cuisine from him. But Master Sun stopped accepting apprentices a few years ago. But I can let you go to the Shandong cuisine kitchen. How much can you learn? , it depends on your own understanding." Fan Dakang said.
"Zhuzi, are you going to the Shandong cuisine kitchen, or should I find another master for you?" Fan Dakang asked.
He Yuzhu thought that he had spiritual consciousness and could not hide anything from him. He would find a new master. He would still be an apprentice when he first became a master. He would not teach him how to cook right away and learn by himself. It's no different from going to a Shandong cuisine kitchen.
"Master, I'm going to the Shandong cuisine kitchen." He Yuzhu said.
"Since you are going to the Shandong cuisine kitchen, your salary can only be 18 yuan as an apprentice's salary." Fan Dakang said.
"No problem, I'm going to do the work of an apprentice, and I should get an apprentice's salary." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go tell Manager Luan and Master Sun that starting from tomorrow, you will work in the Shandong cuisine kitchen." After saying this, Fan Dakang stood up and left.
After Fan Dakang left, he went to tell Manager Luan and Master Sun respectively about He Yuzhu's decision.
The next day, He Yuzhu came to Fengzeyuan and followed his master to Master Sun's office.
"Old Sun, I will leave my apprentice to you." Fan Dakang said to Sun Dahai.
"Don't worry, I won't let your precious apprentice lose a hair." Sun Dahai said.
"Okay, then I'll leave." Fan Dakang left He Yuzhu behind and left.
"Zhuzhu, sit down. It's not like we don't know each other." Sun Dahai said to He Yuzhu.
"Thank you, Master Sun." He Yuzhu sat down on the chair.
"Zhuzi, are you really only 16 years old this year?" Master Sun asked.
"Yes, 16 years old, I will be 17 after the Chinese New Year." He Yuzhu replied.
"You're 16 years old. Many people at your age have just started to be apprentices, but you can already start a apprenticeship." Sun Dahai said with emotion.
"I learned to cook early. I stopped going to school when I was 13 and started learning to cook from my father." He Yuzhu said.
"It's only been three years. You've been able to learn a lot at such a young age, which shows that your talent is extremely high." Sun Dahai said.
"It's all taught well by master." He Yuzhu said modestly.
"Don't be humble. Some people learn faster than others when taught by the same master." Sun Dahai said.
Sun Dahai looked at his watch and said, "Okay, it's time, let's go."
He Yuzhu followed Sun Dahai out of the office and came to the Shandong cuisine kitchen.
"Everyone, stop for a moment," Sun Dahai clapped his hands and said to everyone in the kitchen.
People in the kitchen gathered around when they heard Sun Dahai's greeting.
"Everyone knows this person next to me. He is Master He Yuzhufan's disciple. Starting today, he will come to our kitchen to study. Everyone welcomes him." Sun Dahai said to everyone.
Wow~~~~ There was a round of applause.
"Zhuzi, you don't need me to introduce you one by one, you should know them all." Sun Dahai said to He Yuzhu.
"Master Sun, no introduction is needed, I know everyone." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, I won't introduce it to you." Master Sun said.
"Okay, let's leave it as before."
"Zhuzi, you will watch today and I will arrange work for you tomorrow." Sun Dahai said to He Yuzhu after dismissing everyone.
Everyone dispersed and began to work according to the previous division of labor.
He Yuzhu also stepped aside to avoid blocking other people's way and causing another accident.
During this day, He Yuzhu was observing everyone's division of labor and work processes, including work habits. Only when everyone is too busy, help with the lifting. After helping, he stepped aside and continued to observe.
Sun Dahai was very satisfied when he saw that He Yuzhu was observing obediently and did not interfere at will.
