Chapter 57 Manager Luan’s departure
A few days later, news about the enemy agents came from Zhou Jianye. All the enemy agents were caught, and several more hidden enemy agents were dug out. I won’t care about He Yuzhu from now on. As for the reward, Zhou Jianye also sent it.
Time flies by and we arrive in 1956.
This year, public-private partnerships were launched across the industry.
This year, it was changed to fixed interest rate, and the original shareholders no longer exercised their rights.
On this day, He Yuzhu went out to prepare a banquet and just came back when he heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Manager Luan: "Manager Luan, you are a rare visitor, please come in quickly."
He Yuzhu asked Manager Luan to come and sit down in the living room.
Manager Luan took a look at He Yuzhu's courtyard as soon as he entered the door: "Zhuzi, your courtyard is well maintained."
"Hey, you're just messing around. I just feel comfortable." He Yuzhu poured a cup of tea for Manager Luan.
Manager Luan took the tea and took a sip: "Well, it still tastes the same. Do you still have this tea? After finishing the tea you sent me, I couldn't find it in the market."
"This is wild tea. It's not available on the market. If you like it, I'll get some for you when I leave." He Yuzhu took a glass of water and sat down.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you. Your tea has a unique fragrance. After drinking it, you feel refreshed and comfortable."
"You've taken care of me all these years, just a little tea. You're welcome."
"Zhuzi, I came here today to invite you to come to my house to cook dinner tomorrow night."
"No problem, I have time tomorrow. When will the party start tomorrow? How many tables?"
"It's just one table. You don't have to be early tomorrow. Your master and the others will be invited in the evening. They won't arrive until after 7 o'clock. There won't be any time-consuming dishes."
He Yuzhu heard that Manager Luan invited the master, but he didn't ask much: "Okay, I'll be there around 5 o'clock."
"Okay, it's settled." Manager Luan stood up and left.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you tea." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked into his room and took out half a catty of tea from the space.
After coming out, He Yuzhu handed the tea leaves to Manager Luan: "I don't have a lot of tea left, I can only give you so much."
Manager Luan took the tea and saw that there was a lot: "That's a lot, thank you Zhuzi."
In the afternoon of the next day, He Yuzhu came to Manager Luan's house at the agreed time. Manager Luan's home is a small Western-style villa. Although it is not as luxurious as the Lou family, it is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Manager Luan is not at home now. The person who received He Yuzhu was Mrs. Luan: "It must be Chef He. It's exactly what my old Luan said, so young."
"Hello, Mrs. Luan. You can just call me Zhuzhu. Thanks to Manager Luan for taking care of me these past few years."
"Okay, I'll call you Zhuzi. Don't call me Mrs. Luan, just Aunt Liang."
"Okay, I listen to Aunt Liang. I have to ask Aunt Liang to take me to the kitchen to take a look."
"Okay, come with me." Aunt Liang brought He Yuzhu to the kitchen.
"Look, if there's anything missing, just tell me."
"Okay, Aunt Liang. Let me tidy it up first and see what to cook."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy. If you need anything, just call me." After saying that, Aunt Liang left the kitchen.
He Yuzhu sorted out the ingredients first. There were a lot of things, including chicken, fish, elbows, sea cucumbers, etc. They were all very good.
He Yuzhu saw that it was getting late and started to process the ingredients.
At almost 7 o'clock, Aunt Liang entered the kitchen and informed He Yuzhu that all the guests were here: "Zhuzhu, all the invited guests are here. They are all colleagues from Fengzeyuan. You go out and say hello first before cooking."
"Okay, Aunt Liang, I'll wash my hands and come." He Yuzhu washed his hands and followed Aunt Liang to the living room, where he saw the master, Master Sun, the second senior brother and Master Sun's apprentice.
He Yuzhu greeted everyone one by one.
Manager Luan: "Zhuzi, you go cook the food first, and then come out and eat together without anyone else."
He Yuzhu looked at the master, and Fan Dakang nodded to He Yuzhu.
"Okay, you guys chat first, the food will be available soon." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and entered the kitchen.
With the help of the servants, one dish after another was brought to the table.
After finishing the last dish, the servant brought it to the front. He Yuzhu took off his apron, straightened his clothes, and then washed his hands before coming out of the kitchen.
Manager Luan saw He Yuzhu coming out of the kitchen: "Zhuzhu, come and sit down, I'm waiting for you."
He Yuzhu came to the table and sat next to the second senior brother.
Manager Luan started to invite everyone to drink and eat. After eating, he gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up: "Zhuzhu, your skills are getting better and better."
He Yuzhu was praised in front of his master and others, and he said modestly: "Everywhere, Master and Master Sun teach well."
After finishing speaking, He Yuzhu stopped talking and listened carefully to what Manager Luan and Master were talking about.
It turns out that Manager Luan is leaving Fengzeyuan, and the Luan family has decided to send Manager Luan to Xiangjiang for development.
Manager Luan: "After I leave, Fengze Garden will be decided by the public manager, and you will also be under public management. I invite you here today to thank you for your support to me over the years."
Fan Dakang: "Okay, Lao Luan, why are you talking about this? Without your care these years, we wouldn't be so comfortable."
Master Sun: "Lao Fan is right. If you hadn't blocked all those bad things for us, we wouldn't be able to live peacefully in the kitchen."
Manager Luan: "Isn't this what I should do? It's just that you have to be prepared when I leave. Manager Gongfang knows that you and I are close, so he will definitely find trouble."
Master Sun: "There's nothing we can do about it, we can only endure it. I guess he doesn't dare to go too far. After all, Fengzeyuan is a restaurant. If we make us angry, he won't be able to get over it."
Manager Luan sighed: "It would be great if you could follow me to Xiangjiang."
Fan Dakang: "We are old and don't want to bother anymore."
Manager Luan also knew that it was impossible for them to leave here with him and go to Xiangjiang.
"Zhuzi, do you want to go out with me for a while?"
He Yuzhu: "The rain is still light, so you can't live without me. When the rain gets heavy, I will go out and take a look."
"Then I'll wait for you in Xiangjiang." Manager Luan and He Yuzhu had a glass of wine and were a little drunk.
Master, Master Sun and Manager Luan all drank too much in the end.
Master Sun was supported by his apprentice, while the master was supported by his second senior brother. Aunt Liang and the servant helped Manager Luan back to his room to rest, and then came out to see off Manager Luan's guests.
He Yuzhu went to the kitchen to pack his things. When he came out, Aunt Liang stopped him and handed He Yuzhu a package: "This is what Lao Luan prepared for you. It contains some ingredients. We have to leave too, and there is no use keeping it." ”
The package contains sea cucumbers, shark's fins, bird's nests, large yellow croaker swim bladder, etc.
He Yuzhu declined but had to accept it: "Thank you Aunt Liang, and thank you Manager Luan."
He Yuzhu took the package and sent his master home with his second senior brother.
