Chapter 48 It’s another New Year’s Eve
The Spring Festival came unknowingly, and another year passed. Before the New Year, He Yuzhu sent 20 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of pork, various vegetables, and wine to his master, uncle, and senior brothers. Because a greenhouse was built in the backyard this year and a lot of vegetables were planted, He Yuzhu could give some vegetables away openly.
On New Year's Eve, I went to Master's house for dinner as usual. This year I didn't drink much wine at dinner, so we made dumplings together at Master's house. After eating dumplings, He Yuzhu came home carrying the rain on his back.
On the first day of the new year, He Yuzhu came early in the morning with rain to pay New Year's greetings to his master and his wife. He also gave Master a Wenwan walnut carved by himself. The one given to the master’s wife was a sandalwood comb.
"These walnuts are good, who did you get them from?" Master Fan Dakang asked while turning the walnuts in his hand.
He Yuzhu: "I carved it myself. I also made the comb for my wife."
"Zhuzi, you are thoughtful, and my wife likes it very much."
The mistress took the comb handed over by He Yuzhu and liked the exquisite lines on it very much.
When Fan Yao and Xiao Hu saw that their parents had gifts, they said anxiously: "Where's mine? Where's mine?"
"Don't worry, it's all there, it's all there."
He Yuzhu quickly sent out the prepared Q-version statue.
"Wow~, it's so cute, I like it." Fan Yao looked at the Q version of herself in her hand and couldn't put it down.
"Mine looks good too, I like it too." Xiaohu said not to be outdone.
For senior sister Fan Ting, there is a Q version of the three-person statue of senior sister and Zhou Jianye holding their child.
"Master's Wife, there are some for Senior Sister. I'll leave them with you first." He Yuzhu handed the statue for Senior Sister Fan Ting's family to Master's Wife.
Saying goodbye to his master and his wife, He Yuzhu brought rainwater to his uncle Peng Dahai's home.
After giving gifts to his uncle and his aunt, He Yuzhu sat down and chatted with his uncle. Auntie Shi took Yu Yu to play.
"Zhuzi, how has your year been? Why don't you come to Tan's Restaurant? It's more stable than running around." The uncle asked.
He Yuzhu: "Uncle, I'm pretty good. I earn a lot. Besides, I have Fengzeyuan as a base. Even if no one hires me for a month, I can still earn 30 yuan in Fengzeyuan, which is enough for me." And rainwater costs two people.”
Peng Dahai thought about the current situation of Tan's Restaurant and gave no advice.
"By the way, Zhu Zhu, what will happen after the public-private partnership of Fengze Park? Does what Manager Luan said still work?"
"Fengze Garden is fine now. Manager Luan is still in charge. This public manager doesn't interfere much. Uncle, why do you ask this?"
"Hey, didn't you receive a notice to encourage public-private partnerships? Your other junior uncles and I are wondering whether to join?"
"With this addition, will the public have the final say in the future or we? Without more people, business will not be very good. Isn't this Fengzeyuan the first public-private joint venture restaurant? Ask about the situation."
Peng Dahai is worried about the future of Tan's Restaurant.
"Uncle, public-private partnerships are the trend. Sooner or later, we have to join. Besides, the price of Tan's food is high, and the people who eat it are rich people. These people are also having a hard time. If you join the public-private partnership, you will have official endorsement, and you can stop it. It causes a lot of trouble."
"What you said makes sense. It's better to join early than late. I'm discussing with your other senior uncles to join as soon as possible."
After the chat, He Yuzhu and Yuyu had lunch at their uncle's house and left.
Returning to Master's house in the afternoon, Yu Yu went out to play with Master's wife and Fan Yao Xiaohu. He Yuzhu stayed at home with his master.
He Yuzhu told Master about the public-private partnership of Tan's Restaurant.
"This is the general trend. At that time, Manager Luan saw the situation clearly and made a decisive public-private partnership. It became the first public-private partnership restaurant. The government only sent a symbolic manager. Manager Luan still had the final say in Fengze Garden. This is why he joined early. the benefits of."
"Manager Luan still has the foresight." He Yuzhu said.
Fan Dakang was silent for a while and continued: "Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about you. You are 18 years old this year. What are your plans?"
"I don't have any plans. It's pretty good now. The income is good and I can afford the rain."
Fan Dakang: "I'm asking you, don't you plan to find a restaurant to stabilize? You must know that if you want to improve your chef level, you need to have stable experience."
He Yuzhu: "I don't plan to take any higher exams. The third-level chef certificate is enough. I won't need it no matter how high it is. And I'm still young, so I can take the exam again in the future."
When Fan Dakang heard this, he sighed: "Your craftsmanship is fine, but I'm afraid you'll waste it."
He Yuzhu: "Master, don't worry, I won't waste my cooking skills."
Fan Dakang: "As long as you know the number."
After a while, the teacher's wife came back with Yu Yu and the others.
Yu Yu waved a Sun Wukong mask and showed it off to He Yuzhu: "Brother, look, the Sun Wukong mask my wife bought for me."
He Yuzhu teased Yu Yu: "It's so beautiful. Can you wear it for your brother?"
"Okay, brother, put it on." Yuyu agreed happily.
He Yuzhu put on a mask and said to the rain and the others: "Here comes my old grandson. Where can you three monsters run away?"
With that said, He Yuzhu rushed towards Yuyu and the others. The three men ran screaming into the yard. The four of them were chasing each other around in the yard.
The teacher's wife watched for a while and then came out to stop: "Okay, stop making trouble and come in quickly, it's so cold outside, don't catch a cold."
The mistress spoke, and the four of them could only enter the house honestly. When He Yuzhu entered the house, he was patted on the back by the mistress: "How old are you? You don't know it's cold outside, and you lead them to fool around."
He Yuzhu smiled and went in without saying anything.
After dinner, He Yuzhu returned home with Yu Yu. After Yu Yu fell asleep, He Yuzhu sat at his desk and thought about the public-private partnership. It used to be a factory like a steel rolling mill, but now Tanjiacai, a small restaurant, has also begun a public-private partnership. .
When the public-private partnership reached its peak in 1955 or 1956, taverns and the like could not escape.
There will also be fewer and fewer external banquets. Fortunately, we can still make money in these two years.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, just take it one step at a time.
He Yuzhu gave up thinking and went to bed.
When they got up early the next morning, He Yuzhu and Yu Yu had breakfast and had nowhere to go.
"Brother, where are we going to play today?" Yuyu asked.
"Brother, can I take you skating later?" He Yuzhu thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I haven't gone skating for a long time." Yuyu said happily.
He Yuzhu: "Why haven't I gone skating for a long time? Didn't I take you there last week?"
Rainwater: "Then I haven't skated for several days."
He Yuzhu looked at the rain and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll take you there soon."
