Chapter 224 He Yunbang Beats Someone

Now is not the time to watch the fun. The He family has an old couple here, so even if there is only one old woman, they will not suffer any loss.

Yue Ning didn't stop, but walked quickly forward and went to Fuyun Building.

Around 11:30 am, Fuyunlou was at its peak dining time. There was a long queue at the door with people from all over the world, which looked spectacular.

In this era, the Spring Fair lasted for 30 days, and the number of visiting guests was no more than 20,000, but this already put Yuecheng under such great pressure.

In my previous life, a car show lasted for three to five days, with hundreds of thousands of visitors, and it ran smoothly in Guangdong City. This is the difference.

"Don't worry, everyone. You can order a la carte, or take a look at the two-person, four-person, six-person, and eight-person meals. There are dishes, rice, and soup..." A waiter stood at the door and handed out menus to the people in line. "Take a look first. After you have taken a good look, let the comrade in front of you give you the bill first. Then go in and give the bill to the waiter. It will be quick. If you order a set meal, the food will be served quickly. It's much cheaper than ordering a la carte!"

"We don't want this little discount, as long as it tastes good and we can eat it quickly."

"Yue Ning, it's Yue Ning!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"It's really her."

Yue Ning saw that the customers in line recognized her and walked over to greet them: "Welcome to Fuyunlou for dinner. Baohualou and Fuyunlou have formed a joint venture. After the Spring Fair, Fuyunlou will be managed by Baohualou. Isn't it very busy here during the meeting? Baohualou sent Chef Zhang, Chef Ma and Chef He over."

"Really? And we can eat the dishes they cooked?"

"How many of you are there?"

"Six."

Yue Ning picked up the menu and said, "From the accent, they are Malaysian Chinese. No one here believes in religion, right?"

"No, no."

"Choose this meal for six! It includes a roast meat platter, a braised meat platter, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, which is Chef Ma's best dish, fish fillet in wine sauce, which is my uncle Abang's specialty, clay pot rice, which is my uncle A Ming's specialty, as well as two vegetables and a pork tripe and chicken soup. It is a very comfortable meal for six people. You all ordered set meals! The chefs fried the three dishes together to save time." Yue Ning introduced to them.

"I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you."

"Why are the dishes similar for a meal for four and a meal for two? A meal for two is only half the price of a meal for four."

Yue Ning smiled: "The meal for two is half portion, so even if there are few people, we can eat more kinds of food! Our Spring Fair will be open for a month. I have drawn up five different set menus for the days, with different quantities according to 2, 4, 6, and 8. There are also different sets for the East and West according to the groups of people, and there are different sets for those who don't eat pork. Everyone can save some time queuing. You guys take a look first, I'm going in."

Yue Ning waved to them and walked forward. Before entering the door, a waiter took the order first. The waiter said, "I'll write the order for you first. You can go in and tell the waiter who will take you to the table directly."

A foreign businessman didn't understand and was still listening to the translator's explanation. The waiter turned the menu over to show him the English version, which had ordering instructions on the back.

This menu was designed by Yue Ning in order to speed up the table turnover rate, increase the probability of combining dishes, and enable waiters who do not understand English to communicate quickly with foreign guests.

The lady who was taking orders in the front became more energetic when she saw Yue Ning looking at her, and wrote the bill to the foreign guests with a smile on her face.

The two companies have formed a joint venture, and after this spring trade fair, Baohua Building will take over Fuyun Building in its entirety. During the negotiations between Yue Ning and the Second Commercial Bureau, she did not refuse any of the bureau's requests for capital injection and personnel training. Her only request was that she would only keep 60% of Fuyun Building's existing staff, and 40% would be returned to the Second Commercial Bureau.

The reasons include: first, she assessed that the existing staff of Fuyun Building was redundant; second, she wanted to change the blood and clear out the lazy people; third, she wanted to make the people below feel a sense of crisis.

Song Ziqiang agreed to all of them, but required that the employees must be new educated youth who had returned to the city and were waiting to be resettled by the Second Commercial Bureau.

Yue Ning agreed to this point immediately. Educated youth were a big problem in society, and he had been sent down to the countryside with his father for so many years, so of course he was willing to lend a hand.

When the news of the joint venture came out, everyone in Fuyunlou jumped for joy. Just think about those chefs who went to Hong Kong to study, their income was shockingly high.

Hearing that so many people were going to be kicked out of Fuyun Building, everyone started to feel insecure. They all used their connections to find people, fearing that they would be put on the layoff list.

But Yue Ning made it clear that she would personally decide who could stay and who could not, and no one's opinion would matter, as it all depended on everyone's performance.

He Yunbang and his team came back and told them that Yue Ning was a good person, but she could not tolerate any injustice. She was a capitalist, and capitalists wanted you to make money for them. In Hong Kong, if an employee made mistakes repeatedly, he would be fired immediately.

When the waiter saw her come in, he became more cautious.

Yue Ning entered the hall. It was bustling with people, but busy but not chaotic. The changes in Fuyun Building were visible to the naked eye. With such a large flow of customers, it was running quite well.

Someone saw Yue Ning come in and ran up to tell Manager Zhang.

"Ningning, you're here so early." Manager Zhang almost ran downstairs.

"I came early in the morning. I had to go to the exchange meeting at one o'clock. I came to take a look at noon." Yue Ning said, "I see everything is in order. It's not easy."

Being praised by her, Manager Zhang smiled: "It's all because of you who have done your best to help us."

"It's all your hard work." Yue Ning said, "Manager Zhang, you go ahead and do your work! I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

"OK."

Yue Ning changed into his chef's uniform and walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was very busy and the temperature was unusually high. The temperature in Yuecheng at noon in late April was nearly 30 degrees Celsius. There was no air conditioning inside and the chefs were sweating profusely.

He Yunbang cooked three dishes in one pot, took the towel from his neck, wiped the sweat off his face, saw Yue Ning, and said, "Have you been home?"

Yue Ning walked over and said, "Yes. Why didn't you tell Grandpa and Grandma that it was okay for me to live with Sister Xiuqin? Did they let me live in the big room?"

He Yunbang took the apprentice's side dishes, scooped oil to moisten the pot, and said, "Xiuqin and Azhen live together, you three can't squeeze together?"

"Oh!" It was indeed not suitable for three people to squeeze into one bed.

Hearing him talking about Ah Zhen, Yue Ning said, "Just now when I came out, an old woman came over. Is that Aunt Ah Zhen's adoptive mother?"

Fan Xiuqin, who was standing next to He Yunbang, heard this and immediately exploded: "That old hag, seeing that our master and disciple are not here, is here to bully Sister Zhen again?"

He Yunbang didn't stop working and said, "Ningning, help me cook two dishes. I'll go back and take a look."

"I'll go too," said Fan Xiuqin.

"There are so many guests, just cook well." He Yunbang served the dishes, put down the wok and ran out.

Seeing He Yunbang leaving, Fan Xiuqin said, "He is a grown man, and he can't argue with that old woman, nor can he hit that old woman. How can he not take me with him?"

Zhang Junming came over and said, "Xiuqin, you are stupid! How many blind dates did your master go on this time when he came back?"

"Three." Fan Xiuqin said as she cooked.

"But none of the three succeeded. Not a single one was good?" Zhang Junming asked.

"Everyone is young and beautiful."

"Is it that they don't want to, or is it that your master doesn't want to?"

"My master said that he is already over 30 and still not good-looking. It is not suitable to be too pretty." Fan Xiuqin said while cooking, "I told him that he is not ugly. Besides, can good looks be eaten? Someone like him who has the shoulders and responsibilities, and has cooking skills, that's good! My master in Beijing forced me to date several people who are uglier than my master, but they still think they are great!"

Zhang Junming lifted the lid of a large stainless steel pot, and a fragrant aroma spread out. The apprentice had already spread fried shallots and ginger slices on the bottom of three casseroles. Zhang Junming scooped up a chicken from the pot with a large spoon and placed it in the casserole.

"Stupid! Have you ever thought that your master already has someone in his heart?" Zhang Junming put chickens in three casseroles, and then put pig's trotters in each casserole and poured sauce.

Fan Xiuqin was stunned for a moment: "My master has someone in his heart?"

"Why was he in such a hurry to go out just now?" Zhang Junming asked his apprentice to keep an eye on the casserole.

Yue Ning was the first to react: "Uncle Ming, you said my uncle Bang likes Aunt Zhen?"

"My master likes Sister Zhen?" Fan Xiuqin asked with a smile, "Then why doesn't he say it? They are already at their house, so if he just says it, it will be fine, right?"

"Fool, you see Ah Zhen is even more timid than a mouse. Besides, your master is now a well-known chef who makes a lot of money in Hong Kong. How dare she, a 28-year-old girl who just came back from the countryside, think about your master?" Zhang Junming opened the casserole again. The flavor of the divine soy sauce chicken was extremely rich. He sprinkled chopped green onions and said, "The dish is ready."

Yue Ning was stunned. Ah Zhen was only 28? She thought she was about the same age as Uncle Bang, or even older.

"You! You are eager to help others. When you see that Ah Zhen is being wronged, you want to help her. This kind of thing should be left to the master, so that the two of you can talk it out."

Fan Xiuqin laughed: "That's right!"

However, He Yunbang did not even take off his chef's uniform. He borrowed a bicycle from his brother in the kitchen and rode it back home.

As soon as I walked to the street where their home was, I saw the old man from the Li family and the bastard from the Li family dragging Ah Zhen. The old woman followed behind them, cursing, "You heartless thing, if I hadn't taken you home, would you still be alive?"

"Zhang Yundi, please do some good deeds! Isn't the sin your family has committed against Ah Zhen enough?" He's mother chased after her.

The old woman from the Li family turned to the breathless He mother and said, "The eldest son is disabled, and the youngest son is over 30 and still hasn't found a wife. This is the sin you committed in your previous life, and you want to commit sin again in this life, letting Ah Zhen serve that disabled person in your family..."

"What are you talking about!" He Yunbang yelled and stopped his bicycle.

When He's parents saw their youngest son coming back, He's mother ran over and said, "Abang, Zhang Yundi came to take Ah Zhen back but failed, so she called the father and son over and insisted on dragging Ah Zhen away."

With their youngest son back, the old couple were no longer afraid of that family.

He Yunbang looked at Ah Zhen, whose face was full of tears, and walked over and grabbed the boy from the Li family.

The son of the Li family is in charge of the consumables warehouse at the steel plant. He usually registers the incoming materials. He Yunbang holds a spatula and stirs the pan all day long, so naturally his strength is completely different.

He Yunbang punched Li's son on the head: "Ungrateful bastard..."
