Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 278 Meeting Lou Xiaoe for the first time

He Yuzhu was aware of the deaf old lady's plot and did not pay too much attention to her.

Being schemed by the deaf old lady was bound to happen. Even if he became a bad seed like the Xu family, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai would sooner or later set their sights on him.

There's no other reason, because they can't find anyone better.

Others have both parents and sons and daughters, and do not meet the criteria for being a suitable person to take care of the elderly.

He is the only one who is alone at home, his father has run away, his sister will get married sooner or later, and he has good cooking skills and can meet their requirements.

……

"Zhu Zi, Boss Lou is coming today and asked for the boiled fish you made. Please prepare it." Manager Zhao came to the kitchen and began to assign tasks.

He Yuzhu didn't care. Now there were many people eating boiled fish, and he almost vomited from doing it. He taught other people how to make boiled fish, and even Wu Bangming made it a little better than him, so those people were happy to eat what he, the inventor, made.

For a cook, this is an honor.

But He Yuzhu really didn't want it. He admitted that he had a lazy mindset.

There is no way, living in this era, we can only learn to integrate into this era.

Privately, He Yuzhu felt that it was more suitable for him to work in the factory cafeteria. He would be the head chef there, and as long as he took in a few apprentices, he wouldn't have to worry about the big pot of food. As for the boss's small kitchen, that was not a problem either.

There are only so many leaders in the factory, and they can only cook three or five tables of food a day at most.

It’s nothing like Emei Restaurant, which serves dozens of tables a day.

He didn't dare to express this thought at all, for fear of being punished by Wu Bangming.

"Ok."

Manager Zhao turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped and walked back: "By the way, don't make it too spicy. The people eating here are Mr. Lou's family."

He Yuzhu was stunned, and the figure of Lou Xiaoe appeared in his mind.

This was the first time he heard news about Lou Xiao'e.

Knowing the future fate of the Lou family, he did not deliberately inquire about Lou Xiao'e's news. He really didn't know how to face Lou Xiao'e.

"Zhuzi, what's wrong with you?" Manager Zhao asked when he saw that He Yuzhu did not answer.

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said quickly, "Nothing. I just want to know how to cook. Manager Zhao, don't worry, I promise to do it well."

Manager Zhao said, "How can I not trust you? You cook first. I'll go to the front."

He Yuzhu returned to the stove and started cooking, using work to drive away those messy thoughts.

It would be better to wait a few years before bringing up the Lou family issue. He couldn't tell Lou Zhenheng now that he wanted to leave.

To be honest, there is an 80% chance that Lou Zhenheng will treat me as a spy and send me to the Public Security Bureau.

Now Lou Zhenheng is still a businessman with dreams, who wants to participate in the process of building the country.

This can be seen from his active acceptance of the steel plant's transformation.

According to He Yuzhu's understanding, in order to persuade several other shareholders to accept the transformation, Lou Zhenheng gave out part of his own shares free of charge as compensation to those shareholders.

When Manager Zhao came to the kitchen again and gave instructions on how to cook, He Yuzhu knew that the Lou family had arrived.

"Well, I was right, wasn't I?"

An eleven-year-old girl from the Lou family complained, "Dad, you knew there were such delicious dishes, why did you just bring us here?"

"Xiao'e, eating can't stop you from talking. Don't you see how busy your father is?" A beautiful woman in her thirties said to Lou Xiao'e.

"Dad, look at mom, she scolds me when we go out to eat." Lou Xiao'e complained to Lou Zhenheng cleverly. Lou Zhenheng laughed, "Okay, let's go out to eat, stop arguing. You will never guess who is the chef who made this dish?"

Although Lou Xiao'e is young, she has seen a lot of things. She came to Emei Restaurant with Lou Zhenheng to eat, and rushed to say: "I know, it was made by Chef Wu. His dishes are delicious."

Tan Yalan felt something was wrong. The way she cooked was similar to Wu Bangming's, but there was a slight difference. Ordinary people couldn't tell the difference. Only those who were experts in this field could tell the difference.

"It's the same as Lao Wu's, but it has a bit of Shandong style. There are eight dishes on the table, and two of them are the same as boiled fish. The others are made by Lao Wu. Is that right?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Tan Yalan in surprise, and then tasted the dishes on the table one by one. However, her ability was limited, and she could not tell the difference except that they were delicious.

“I feel the same.”

Lou Zhenheng knew Tan Yalan's ability, so he said, "You are right. There are eight dishes on the table, five of which were made by Master Wu, and the other three were made by Master Wu's apprentice."

Tan Yalan said, "It was made by Master Tang, but it doesn't look like it?"

Lou Zhenheng no longer kept it a secret and said with a smile: "It wasn't made by Master Wu either. Let me tell you, the cook who made this dish is another apprentice of Master Wu, he is the son of He Daqing."

Tan Yalan had heard of He Daqing's name, but had never met him. She usually didn't care about the Lou family's business, and had never been to the steel plant for dinner.

"I remember that He Daqing was not very old. His son is only about that age."

Lou Zhenheng said, "Call him over, and you'll know after you take a look. This little chef He is a great cook and also well-spoken."

He Yuzhu didn't expect that Lou Zhenheng wanted to see him again, but he didn't get nervous and followed Manager Zhao to the private room.

After the introduction, Lou Xiaoe was the first to speak: "Brother He, did you really invent this boiled fish dish?"

Thanks to the spiritual spring water, He Yuzhu's face is slowly changing and he will no longer be mistaken for a middle-aged man.

"I did it. I got the new idea from the boiled pork slices."

"Boiled pork slices, I know. Yes, if meat slices can be boiled, fish can be boiled too. Brother He, you are really awesome." Lou Xiao'e looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

"Brother He, can you come to my house and cook? My dad is too busy and often not at home, so he can't take me out for dinner."

He Yuzhu did not answer, but looked at Manager Zhao.

Lou Zhenheng smiled and said, "Manager Zhao, if it's convenient, I would also like to invite Master He to come to my house to cook a few times."

Lou Zhenheng is an old customer and knows a lot of people there, so Manager Zhao naturally would not refuse, but he did not agree easily either.

"Boss Lou, you've seen that many regular customers who come to the restaurant to eat will order Zhu's boiled fish. I can agree, but not too often."

Lou Zhenheng also knew about this situation and did not force it. He just asked him to try to arrange the time when He Yuzhu was free.

Finally, he gave He Yuzhu a big red envelope and left with his family.

The first meeting between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e ended like this. Facing an eleven-year-old girl, even with Shazhu's memories, he still couldn't have too much affection for her.

Even if there is affection, it is useless. Apart from the issue of age, the gap in identity and status is also difficult to overcome.

Lou Zhenheng has no intention of marrying his daughter off. Although his eldest daughter's marriage was not good, she was from a cadre family.

No matter how you look at it, Lou Zhenheng now will not look at the workers.

It was only a few years later when the situation changed and the status of the capitalists was threatened that he faced reality and tried to find a worker to provide shelter for the Lou family.

It is actually inappropriate to say that he was sheltering her. The correct way of saying it should be that he was using Lou Xiao'e's marriage to show his attitude.

Unfortunately, such a statement is a bit like covering one's ears and stealing the bell. Moreover, his vision was not good, and he chose Xu Damao.

Among the two sons-in-law, the eldest daughter's family only proposed divorce and severance of relations, while the Xu family directly reported the Lou family.
