Jishantang.
Wang Zhong looked at Fu Weijun and Sui Dong, who were standing in front of the eucalyptus board, wearing aprons and holding kitchen knives, and Wang Yang who was giving instructions, and nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Zhong didn't know how Wang Yang told Shen Mo and Fu Weijun that although these two boys were terrible at cooking and the dishes they cooked didn't look good, they were at least edible and didn't contain enough sugar and salt. To the point of indistinguishability.
Moreover, although Fu Weijun cannot speak and has hearing problems, and cannot hear sounds at all without hearing aids, perhaps it is precisely because of this that this boy is able to do things with more concentration than Wang Yang and Sui Dong.
If he could keep up his concentration, he would really be able to learn something in the field of cooking.
Wang Zhong walked over, patted Fu Weijun on the shoulder, and made a few gestures to Fu Weijun. Fu Weijun nodded, put down the kitchen knife and stepped aside, adjusted the hearing aid hanging in his ear, and listened and looked at Wang Zhong carefully. of guidance.
"Knife skills are a great plus for cooking. The processing of many ingredients can allow the ingredients to better absorb the flavors of seasonings and side dishes, forming a unique taste. Whether the food is cut quickly or not is not actually the most important. , holding the kitchen knife in your hand, what matters is stability. This is the same as those martial arts masters who say in martial arts that they send and receive at will. You have a lot of strength, and you have to hold back part of it while exerting force. First of all, you must ensure that you don't You will hurt yourself..."
First, there are a few commonplace theories, and then there are practical operation instructions. Different from the first day when he showed Fu Weijun and others how to cut a piece of daughter-in-law into hair-like filaments, what Wang Zhong has been talking about recently has been some practical instructions. Sexual stuff.
Although they started learning together, as time went by, Fu Weijun's progress was obviously faster than that of Sui Dong, so Wang Zhong would give him guidance from time to time.
Not everyone who is a teacher is a saint, especially in teaching, students who are talented and diligent will always be given more preference.
Fu Weijun's talent can only be said to be average, and he has no extraordinary talent for cooking, but his diligence and concentration can also be regarded as a kind of talent.
Just like Guo Jing, who seems dull and even a bit stupid to people, he also has no extraordinary talent, but his tenacity and extraordinary perseverance are engraved in his bones and run through his life. Beyond the five fundamentals.
Some people, even if they are extremely talented and have all kinds of resources at their disposal, still have limited achievements. But some people, with ordinary talents and limited resources, can still achieve success with ninety-nine percent of their sweat and unremitting efforts day after day. Achieve great results.
Fu Weijun and Sui Dong were a little reluctant at first. The reason why they came to Jishan Hall was simply that they couldn't bear to see Shen Mo's heartbroken look, and they didn't want Shen Mo to worry about them anymore.
Unexpectedly, they only discovered how powerful Wang Zhong was after arriving at Jishan Hall. They had personally experienced Wang Zhong's cooking skills countless times, but when Wang Zhong cut a piece of tofu into hair in front of them, They were also completely shocked when the tofu shreds spread out in the water and formed into clusters.
The tofu is so tender and tender that it almost breaks when touched and is cut into hair-like strands.
Now that even Fu Weijun and Sui Dong have entered Jishan Hall, the plot has changed a lot.
Fu Weijun cannot speak, but he can still hear if he wears a hearing aid, and Wang Zhong also understands sign language, so there is no obstacle to communication between the two.
As the old saying goes, if God closes one window for you, he will surely open another window for you.
Focus and diligence are another window opened by God for Fu Weijun.
A week later, the chef recruited by Wang Zhong finally arrived. The chef is good at cooking authentic Northeastern cuisine, and he can also cook Shandong cuisine, and his cooking is quite authentic.
In the early years, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China was established. Warlords fought in various places, natural and man-made disasters made life difficult. The chef's ancestors went all the way north from Lu Province and followed a few fellow villagers to travel to Guandong. At that time, they could not survive in their hometown due to the war. There are countless ways to go out and explore.
The chef's ancestor became famous because of his good cooking skills.
I earned a lot of family property. Unfortunately, the Japs invaded and the Japs ran rampant, and the family property gradually declined. However, because of my good craftsmanship, I managed to survive with my family.
The reason why this master chef was willing to come to Wang Zhong's Jishan Hall from the state-owned unit was not only because the efficiency of the state-owned unit was getting worse and worse and the treatment Wang Zhong gave him was not low, but also because of Wang Zhong's cooking skills that he admired endlessly. related.
This master named Zhu Jianguo is only forty years old. He is in the prime of life. He is not particularly tall. He has the belly of a general. Even his face is round. His arms are very thick. He has been practicing shaking pots and spoons all year round. Just the "Kilin Arm".
In addition to coming here himself, Zhu Jianguo also brought two apprentices. One was in his early twenties and was Zhu Jianguo's nephew. He had been following Zhu Jianguo for two years. He was very good at knife skills and had been practicing cooking pot for half a year.
Zhu Jianguo has relatively high requirements for his nephew. Apart from knife skills, he has not really begun to teach his nephew skills. On the one hand, it is to sharpen his nephew's temperament. On the other hand, it is also to lay a stronger foundation for his nephew. After all, Zhu Jianguo's true The specialty is Shandong cuisine, and Shandong cuisine has high requirements for knife skills.
The reason why Zhu Jianguo was willing to come to Jishan Hall was because after learning about Wang Zhong's cooking skills, Wang Zhong agreed to accept Zhu Jianguo's nephew as his apprentice.
Another one is Zhu Jianguo's own apprentice. He has been with Zhu Jianguo for six years. Although his talent is average, he is good at being honest and honest, and he is willing to work hard. He has always respected Zhu Jianguo.
With the three masters and apprentices Zhu Jianguo joining, Wang Zhong's work was greatly reduced. After giving Zhu Jianguo personal guidance for half a month, the focus of the kitchen work was also transferred from Wang Zhong to the two masters Zhu Jianguo.
Wang Zhong also shifted the focus of his work to the upcoming renovation of the new store.
As time passes day by day, New Year's Day passes quietly without knowing it, and the winter vacation is ushered in silence. With the arrival of the holiday and the approach of the New Year, many people who went to the south to work have also returned to Hualin. Jishantang's business not only did not decrease, but became more and more popular.
When people go out to eat in restaurants, in addition to convenience, they also value taste.
Fortunately, Wang Zhong had already prepared. He signed a new contract with the landlord just after New Year's Day. With seven or eight young people who came from Xiaofeng, he opened up the two shops on the left and right in a few days. It was simple After some decoration, the same style of tables and benches were put in, and a few more private rooms were added, which was considered to be a temporary expansion.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhong asked with a smile, looking at Wang Yang who was silent and depressed.
"Shen Shen is going back to Songhe!" Wang Yang said listlessly.
Back to Songhe?
Wang Zhong's heart skipped a beat as the name "Shen Dongliang" appeared in his mind.
"She's quitting her part-time job in Victoria?" Wang Zhong asked.
In fact, Wang Zhong originally wanted to persuade Wang Yang to drag Shen Mo to work at Jishan Hall. After all, Victoria was a mixed bag, and women like Yin Hong could drug their friends and give them to others in the blink of an eye because of jealousy and greed. Yin Hong is not the only one.
Shen Shen is beautiful and cute, with a youthful and charming temperament. The most important thing is that she can play the piano well. Those men who go to Victoria to spend money, like the one in the original plot, covet Shen Shen. Even if they bribe Yin Hong and drug her, they still want to get Shen Shen's body and a kiss. Fangze is by no means a minority.
The lack of action is just because of the evil heart but not the courage.
Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "Work for a few more days! After all, the New Year is coming soon. Lao Ge is quite particular. He knows that Shen Mo is a student and takes good care of her. He will let her come back after the New Year."
"Where is Xiaojun? Will you go back with her?" Wang Zhong asked.
Wang Yang shook his head.
The uncle Shen Shen's family only accepted Shen Shen. As for Xiaojun, after Shen Shen's parents went there, he was sent to the orphanage. Although he had always been in contact with Shen Shen and visited Shen Shen several times quietly, he had never climbed up to Shen Dongliang. 's door.
"I heard from Xiaojun that his uncle is a cadre with a little power, his family is in good condition, and he only has an only son?"
"I've never heard of this." Wang Yang told the truth. He had never heard Shen Mo say anything related to her uncle. If Shen Shen didn't say anything, Wang Yang would naturally
It's hard to ask, after all, the two of them are just ordinary friends now.
Wang Zhong's eyes flickered, he shook his head and said: "I have never seen such an old man. My younger brother has a son and a daughter. Although my son has some congenital problems, it is not a disease that costs money. He is also a cadre and can eat a lot of food." Can’t even afford it? Do you have to put it in an orphanage?”
If Shen Dongliang's parents had not passed away unexpectedly, Shen Dongliang could have left it alone, but Lively Lian just took his niece Shen Sheng over and put his nephew Fu Weijun in the orphanage without caring.
I am afraid that from the moment he adopted Shen Shen, Shen Dongliang had already set his sights on Shen Shen.
Shen Mo has lived in Shen Dongliang's family for so many years, and he has been defiled and humiliated by that beast so many times, like a doll, letting Shen Dongliang play with it.
How great is silence now!
Wang Yang was new to the world and obviously failed to understand what Wang Zhong meant. He shook his head and said, "Shen Shen has never told me anything related to her uncle."
Looking at the confused Wang Yang, Wang Zhong shook his head. There were some things that Wang Zhong said before there was evidence, and Wang Yang might not believe them.
"You have no intention of trying to persuade me to stay. After all, Xiao Jun is also in Hualin. Compared to that uncle, Xiao Jun and Shen Mo are closer to each other, right?"
Wang Yang was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Zhong: "Brother, do you want me to tell Shen Mo not to go back to Songhe?"
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "The Spring Festival holiday is coming soon. During that time, our Jishan Hall will receive double wages from top to bottom, and there will be red envelopes during the New Year. Are you sure you don't want to persuade me?"
After Doctor Hua went on winter vacation, because of the relationship between Wang Yang and Fu Weijun, and because Jishan Tang's business was really booming, Shen Mo came to Jishan Tang part-time. This girl was reluctant to part with Victoria's part-time job as a piano player. In order to take care of her, Wang Zhong specially She can only work until six o'clock in the evening, but the corresponding salary will be halved. For Shen Mo, the little more she can earn is just a little.
Wang Zhong could also understand the reason why Shen Mo was reluctant to leave Victoria. As long as he played the piano for an hour and a half every night, he could have a stable income every month, which could not only support his own life, but also save a balance.
On the contrary, the part-time job at Jishantang is really just a part-time job.
"Brother, are you serious?" Wang Yang was very surprised. Even Shen Mo was willing to work part-time at a place like Victoria, which shows how much he wanted to make money.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
But it is not impossible to decorate in winter. As long as the craftsmanship is in place and the temperature is suitable, it can still be carried out. Fortunately, Wang Zhong has no intention of making Jishan Hall too luxurious.
First open up a few shops, then move on to the ceilings and walls. Simple decoration is not a difficult task, and ordinary people can do it after a while, not to mention the guidance of a famous teacher like Wang Zhong.
Moreover, a restaurant is not a home, and Wang Zhong does not intend to make any high-end customized private dishes. Simply decorate it to make it look clean and tidy, with a dull color palette and a spacious space.
What really makes Jishantang stand out among the restaurants in Hualin is the cooking skills and service. The cooking skills are naturally second to none. As for the service, Wang Zhong personally trained him, and the waiters are all polite and courteous. The young girl has a sweet voice and makes the diners feel at home. It is not difficult.
As for Shen Mo, she works part-time at Jishantang during the day and plays piano in Victoria at night. Because business was good during the Chinese New Year, Lao Ge from Victoria even gave Shen Shen a salary increase. Of course, it was only during the New Year period.
This kid Wang Yang is extremely happy. At least he can see Shen Mo every day. Ever since Fu Weijun and Sui Dong came to Jishan Hall, Wang Yang's plan to send Shen Mo home every night has gone bankrupt. Fu Weijun, his biological brother, was here, so how could Silence bother Wang Yang, an ordinary friend.
If Fu Weijun and Sui Dong were not there, Wang Yang would probably still follow him shamelessly. However, Fu Weijun cherishes the time he can spend with his sister, and Fu Weijun and Sui Dong, who have been in society for many years, know Hua Hua's current situation better than Silence. Lin is not as peaceful and peaceful as it seems on the surface.
In addition, during the winter vacation, Shen Mo stayed at Fu Weijun's place.
In order to get closer to Shen Mo, Wang Yang also worked hard and took the initiative to make friends with Fu Weijun and Sui Dong. He also took good care of the two of them in the store. After going back and forth, Wang Yang and Shen Mo's relationship never exceeded that of friends. boundaries, but he became more and more familiar with Fu Weijun and Sui Dong.
They were originally of the same age, and now they are both apprentices in Jishan Hall, so there is no shortage of common topics.
The progress on Shen Mo and Fu Weijun's side was quite gratifying, and the investigation on Xiao Feng's side was gradually gaining insights. More importantly, with Wang Zhong's reminder, although Wang Xiang didn't want to believe it, he had a suspicion in his heart. , I usually don’t just drive by myself like before, and I slowly start to pay attention to the things around me.
Wang Xiang is quite prestigious in the driver class, and he is a good old man. He has a good relationship with everyone. Gradually, Wang Xiang starts to see some clues.
However, although Xing San'er and the others were dumping things out and bringing in private goods, they still had scruples and did not dare to be too blatant. They only did it once or twice out of ten times.
Although Wang Xiang noticed the clues, he could not find any substantive evidence. At this time, Wang Xiang remembered Wang Zhong who reminded him.
So he approached Wang Zhong.
"Xiao Zhong, how did you know about what you said last time?" Wang Xiang came to Wang Zhong's house, closed the door, pulled Wang Zhong to sit on the old-fashioned sofa, and asked Wang Zhong solemnly.
Wang Zhong said: "Uncle Xiang found evidence?"
Wang Xiang shook his head: "Not yet, I just found a few clues. Dakui and the others seem to be doing something behind my back!"
"Uncle Xiang!" Wang Zhong said: "Do you think this kind of thing can be accomplished with just Dakui and the other drivers without the leadership from above?"
"What do you mean by this?" Wang Xiang frowned and looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.
Wang Zhongdao: "Uncle Xiang, you are a sensible person. Huagang is now a terminally ill old man, with all his internal organs rotted away. You are a little train driver, not even a cadre. The person who does these things, you Untouchable!"
Wang Xiang's face turned very ugly. Looking at Wang Zhong's calm eyes, he hurriedly asked: "What do you know?"
"I do know. Not only do I know, but many people in the factory know because they are all involved. Uncle, if you think about it carefully, how many procedures and how many leaders do the steel equipment have to go through from the warehouse to loading? Sign, do you think those leaders are just doing nothing?
of? Can’t they see the extra steel and equipment? "
Wang Xiang's face changed repeatedly, first it was a little dark, then it started to turn green, and then turned white.
As soon as Wang Zhong said these words, Wang Xiang figured it out. Huagang has extremely strict control over the delivery of all types of steel. Specifications, models, and weights are all tested for heat transfer. Trucks coming out of the factory warehouse are also You have to go to the weighing station and go through a list before you can load it onto the train wagon. When loading, you also need to review, sign, and stamp it at the factory.
"Uncle Xiang, do you know why I told you this?" Wang Zhong looked at Wang Xiang and said.
Wang Xiang's eyes were already trembling a little. His hands on his thighs were tightly grasping the legs of his trousers. He looked at Wang Zhong and asked, "Why?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Because I believe that Uncle Xiang, you are a person with a bottom line, an upright person, and you don't disdain to go along with these worms in birch steel."
Wang Xiang raised his hand that had nowhere to put it: "Xiao Chong, I..."
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. The amount of information contained in Wang Zhong's words just now was so great that the shocked Wang Xiang still couldn't come back to his senses.
Wang Xiang, who took a while to come back to his senses, looked at Wang Zhong, who was familiar but also felt strange to him. An idea suddenly came to his mind, and then his eyes suddenly widened and his eyes narrowed: "Xiao Zhong , what exactly are your plans?"
"I have already found someone to collect evidence of their crime! One person who has been identified so far is Xing Jianchun from the Security Department. He colluded with a gangster outside called Tieniu to resell the steel and equipment in the factory, but the factory I don’t know who else is involved, but think about it, there are people involved in the warehouse, weighing office, factory office, fleet, and even your driver class.”
"You...are you planning to report them?" Wang Xiang said in shock.
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "That's right, although I couldn't join my parents' work and join Hua Steel as a worker, I am also a son of Hua Steel. Hua Steel belongs to no one person, Hua Steel belongs to all our employees. It belongs to the country. My parents lost their lives in Huagang. I can’t just watch these moths destroy our Huagang.”
"Can...can..." Wang Xiang was completely lost and didn't know what to say.
"Uncle, you don't need to persuade me. I have made up my mind. Now I can only collect the evidence and materials, and I will go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to submit the materials to report them." Wang Zhong said decisively, and the look in his calm eyes revealed an unprecedented look. Determined, brave, and bright.
That was a look Wang Xiang had never seen before.
Wang Xiang looked at Wang Zhong blankly, remained silent for a while, and then said, "How do you want me to help you?"
Wang Yang's intelligence was actually all inherited from Wang Xiang. At this point, Wang Xiang still couldn't guess Wang Zhong's purpose.
Wang Zhong also looked at Wang Xiang and said in a sincere tone: "Uncle, if you don't want to get involved, you can just sit on the sidelines and act like you don't know anything. I will handle this matter myself!"
"What are you talking about!" Wang Xiang said with a firm face: "You, a little boy in his early twenties, dare to fight against these moths. How can I, a worker who has been a model worker, even have this courage? there is none left?"
"You're right. These people are digging for the roots of Huagang. If they are not brought down, Huagang will be destroyed by them sooner or later. I am a worker of Huagang. I don't know. That's fine. But Now that we know it, we can’t sit idly by.”
A faint smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face. Wang Xiang was indeed the Wang Xiang he expected.
"Uncle, you are like this..."
