Chapter 124 Master Song accepts a disciple
After resting at home for a day, He Yuzhu's illness was completely cured. He Yuzhu originally planned to go to work the next day, but Song Jinfeng stopped him.
Song Jinfeng said with some worry: "You haven't been sick for many years, and suddenly you got sick all of a sudden, and then recovered again. This illness is so strange. It's better to rest at home for two more days and take a look before talking about it."
"It's okay, I know my own body." He Yuzhu patted his chest, saying that he was fine and healthy.
"It's better to rest more. You haven't had a good rest during this period. It's better to spend more time with Yuyu and Ping An at home." Song Jinfeng frowned and continued to persuade.
"Okay. I've really neglected you a bit during this period, so I'll stay with you at home." Seeing that Song Jinfeng was still worried that his illness was not cured, He Yuzhu agreed.
"Tomorrow, let me go out with you for a walk. It's Chinese New Year and the streets outside are busier than usual."
"No need. It's too cold outside. You're just sick. If you go out and get cold and get sick, you'll be in trouble. It's better to stay at home."
Song Jinfeng rejected He Yuzhu's proposal.
After playing with Xiaopingan at home for another two days, He Yuzhu returned to work.
"Zhuzi, are you recovered? Why didn't you take more rest at home?"
Director Zhao knew that He Yuzhu was back, so he came to pay attention.
"Yes. I had a fever two days ago. I took medicine and rested for a while. I'll be back to work now."
"That's good. You just have to cook the food at work and leave the chores to the kitchen helper. Don't be too tired. When Master Song comes back in a few days to help you share the load, you will be relaxed."
"Master Song is healed? When will he come back?"
"I'll be back next week."
"That's great. I feel much more relaxed when Master Song comes back."
Director Zhao told He Yuzhu to take care of his health and then went about his own business.
Everyone else in the kitchen also came over to pay attention to He Yuzhu's physical condition.
"Okay. Follow the previously assigned tasks and go about your own business." After greeting everyone else one by one, He Yuzhu let him go about his own work.
The Chinese New Year has just ended, so there is nothing else to do, just follow the routine every day.
A few more days passed like this.
This day He Yuzhu came to the door of the kitchen and heard that it was very lively inside. He walked in and said, "What's going on? It's so lively."
After everyone heard He Yuzhu's words, they moved away. Master Song was revealed.
"Hey, Master Song, you're back." He Yuzhu stepped forward to greet Master Song.
"Master He, you have worked hard these days. I heard that you were sick a few days ago? Are you okay now?"
"Hey. It's already gone. How about you, is your arm okay?"
"It's okay." Master Song moved his arms to indicate that he was okay.
"That's good. You can help me share the burden when you come back."
"That's easy to talk about." Master Song said there was no problem: "By the way, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me. If you can help me, I will."
"You come with me and talk outside." Master Song looked around and felt that there were too many people.
"Okay. Then let's go outside and smoke a cigarette."
He Yuzhu followed Master Song to the outside of the kitchen and found a deserted place.
He Yuzhu took out his cigarettes and gave one to Master Song: "Tell me. What's the matter?"
Master Song: "That's right. While I was recuperating, Wang Chao and Zhao Jing visited me many times. I had already thought about recruiting apprentices before, and they often went to my place to help with work during this time. So I plan to It is to accept them as apprentices."
Accepting apprentices, and accepting two apprentices at once. In this way, no matter what happens in the kitchen, the master and apprentice are naturally in the same group. There were no conflicts and we got along pretty well. Once He Yuzhu and Master Song disagree, He Yuzhu will easily suffer a loss by himself without help. But He Yuzhu was protected by Uncle Zhou, and his craftsmanship was the best in the entire city bureau, so Master Song did not dare to offend him easily.
Besides, this job is important to others in the kitchen, but it doesn't matter to He Yuzhu. It's not like He Yuzhu can't live without this job.
"Is this all so mysterious? Your decision to recruit a disciple is your own business. You can decide on your own."
"There are only a few people in our kitchen. I will accept two apprentices at once. Aren't I afraid that you will overthink it?"
"Hey. What can I think about? If you want to accept a disciple, just do it. You don't have to think about me."
"Okay then. I'll make some preparations today, and then I'll ask you and Director Zhao to be witnesses."
"You have to talk to Director Zhao about this and see how Director Zhao arranges it. You don't care about some etiquette in private." He Yuzhu reminded Master Song not to make it too grand.
"I understand. I'll go find Director Zhao later and see how Director Zhao arranges it." Master Song knew that He Yuzhu meant well.
"Okay. If there's nothing else, let's go back. There's still a lot of work to do."
"OK."
The two returned to the kitchen together.
After lunch, Master Song went to find Director Zhao. After staying for a while, he came out of Director Zhao's office.
In the afternoon, dinner is prepared in the kitchen, after the work is done. He Yuzhu said hello to Master Song and planned to go back early: "Master Song, I have something else to do, so I'll go first."
Master Song: "Okay. It's okay. You can go about your business. Just let me keep an eye on you."
"Yes. It's all thanks to Master Song." He Yuzhu picked up his backpack and walked out.
At the door of the cafeteria, I met Director Zhao who was returning from work.
"Zhuzi, wait a moment. Let me tell you something." Director Zhao saw He Yuzhu walking out with his bag on his back, so he called out to He Yuzhu.
"Director. What's the matter?"
"Something happened. Come with me to the office." Director Zhao saw people coming and going at the entrance of the cafeteria. It was not a place to talk about something.
He Yuzhu followed Director Zhao to the office.
"drink water?"
"No. Director, just tell me if you have something to do."
"It's nothing serious. Master Song told me about accepting a disciple. Didn't I just ask you what you think?"
"I have no problem. Master Song told me. Didn't he tell you that I have no problem?"
"Tell me. Didn't I just confirm with you? I also want to ask you, do you have any plans to accept apprentices? You see, Master Song has already accepted apprentices. You are the best cook in our cafeteria. You Don’t you plan to take one?”
"No. I'm still too young. It's not appropriate to accept an apprentice now. Besides, people will definitely think that my cooking skills are not good when they see me at such a young age. Let's wait a few years until I'm older."
"Age is not a problem. No one in our city bureau knows about your cooking skills, He Yuzhu. As long as you want to recruit apprentices, there will be many people who want to sign up."
"Let's forget it." He Yuzhu didn't want to cause this trouble.
"Okay then. If you don't want to accept a disciple, forget it. Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go back."
"Okay. I'll leave first."
A few days later, Master Song accepted Wang Chao and Zhao Jing as his apprentices under the witness of Director Zhao, He Yuzhu and other people in the kitchen.
