Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"By the way, Brother He, which city will the Hengcheng branch go to next?"

Li He rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

"Brother He, we have a day off tomorrow. Could you please contact the Commercial Bureaus in Cangcheng, Decheng, and Xingcheng to inquire about the progress of the shop renovations? We'll go to whichever city finishes the shop first."

"Also, if other cities can find young chefs, we can send them directly to our branch for training. Then we can work around the clock without wasting time."

He Yuzhu replied after thinking for a moment.

"Okay~"

……

Tomorrow is Monday and the store is closed as usual.

After He Yuzhu inspected the Hengcheng branch, Li He also returned to the store.

"Brother He, the Decheng Commercial Bureau, which is closest to Hengcheng, sent a telegram saying that the store has been renovated and the tables, chairs, benches, kitchen utensils, etc. are all ready. They are just waiting for us to go there and open a branch."

"Okay! Then our next stop is Decheng!"

The two smiled at each other and quickly made a plan.

The Hengcheng branch will be open for business as usual on Tuesday.

As expected, the restaurant was still packed with customers and the daily turnover reached RMB.

On Wednesday, He Yuzhu handed over the Hengcheng branch to his apprentice Xu Le, whose cooking skills had reached the highest level, and then led a large group to Decheng.

During the preparations for the opening of the Decheng branch, the Commercial Bureaus of Quancheng, Bincheng and Handan City sent telegrams stating that the shops were already being renovated and nearly a hundred young chefs were ready.

He Yuzhu immediately suggested that these young chefs should come directly to the Decheng branch for training.

As expected, he gained 95 more disciples.

Not only do these apprentices' current cooking skills and cooking skill limits exceed 65 points and 80 points, but six of them also have a cooking skill limit of over 90 points.

After the bonus of [Pupils All Over the World & Lifelong Teacher], the full score is 100 points.

Including the previous 16 people including Nan Yi, Liu Changhong, Xie Afeng, Sui Po, Tang Renjie, etc., He Yuzhu now has 22 apprentices with maximum cooking skills.

You should know that every apprentice who reaches the maximum limit of cooking skills will become a master chef of state banquets in the future!

With these people guarding the Red Star Restaurant, who can shake its position as the number one restaurant in the country?

"Wow! Quanzhou is indeed one of the most important birthplaces of Shandong cuisine. Among the 35 young chefs, 4 have top-notch cooking skills, a ratio far exceeding that of other cities."

"Looks like I need to recruit more disciples in Quancheng~"

He Yuzhu made up his mind and asked He Ge to send another telegram to the Quancheng Commercial Bureau.

Please ask them to find some more young chefs and prepare them so that I can recruit apprentices after arriving in Quancheng.

Even if the Quancheng branch does not need so many chefs, they can be arranged to branches in nearby cities, or simply brought to the old city.

……

The Decheng branch of Red Star Restaurant opened soon, with sales of RMB and RMB on the first and second days of opening respectively.

Seeing that the Decheng branch was able to operate normally, He Yuzhu immediately took people to Xingcheng.

After the Xingcheng branch is successfully completed, we will move on to the next city, Cangcheng.

After the Cangcheng branch was successfully established, we headed to the next city, Bincheng.

Waiting for Bincheng branch...

……

In this way, Red Star Restaurant expanded rapidly at the rate of opening three branches every two weeks.

It was not until nearly five months later that the non-stop work finally stopped.

"Brother He, let's stop for a while, the brothers can't hold on any longer~"

Li He looked haggard, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the account book, and his voice was so hoarse that it almost trembled.

"Don't worry, brother He, let me first calculate how many branches we have opened during this period."

He Yuzhu is in even worse condition!

Not only does he have to worry about the many issues involved in opening a branch, he also has to find time to train apprentices.

As a result, he seemed to have been drained of all his energy and sat slumped in the chair.
