The next day, after breakfast, He Yumo followed He Yuzhu to Hongbin Building, while her sister He Yushui was left with the deaf old lady.
If there is anyone in this courtyard who is sober and kind to He Yuzhu, it is this deaf old lady.
He Yumo remembered that in the TV series, this deaf old lady had saved He Yuzhu many times and was also nice to his brother on weekdays. Regardless of whether she wanted to find someone to take care of her in her old age, at least she was nice to his brother.
Besides, it is understandable that an old lady of such age, without children, wants to find someone to take care of her in her old age! As long as she is not too selfish and infringes on the interests of others without any bottom line for her own interests, it will be fine.
Therefore, if this deaf old lady is as sensible as she is in TV dramas, I don't mind taking care of her in her old age. Besides, this deaf old lady can also help me take care of the rainwater. Everyone gets what they need, isn't it good?
By the way, He Yumo had been to Hongbinlou before. It is a hotel with a very distinctive vintage style.
At this time, public-private partnership had not yet begun, and this hotel was still a private hotel.
At that time, Hongbinlou was already a decent-sized hotel, but the overall decoration still looked very old.
Of course, maybe it was because He Yumo was used to seeing those luxurious hotels in later generations.
In order to respond to the call, the front of this private restaurant is also covered with various banners that are very contemporary.
“Unity is strength!”
"Unite all forces that can be united and build a new China together!"
“Serve the people!”
......
The New China had just been established and there was a lot of work to be done. People of this era were full of fighting spirit and passion. Years of war had finally ended, and everyone was looking forward to building their own country, having enough food to eat, and living a good life!
He Yumo looked at the slogans in front of her and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in her heart!
In the past, I often listened to my grandparents talking about stories from that era. My ears were almost callused from listening to them so much, but I didn’t feel much. Now that I am there in person, I can suddenly feel the unique flavor of this era!
Poverty! Backwardness! But it is full of hope!
The two came to the kitchen. There were already quite a few people in the kitchen, but everyone was busy with their own things and no one paid special attention to them.
He Yuzhu immediately saw Li Donglai, whom He Yuzhu called Master Li, who was checking today's ingredients.
There are currently 6 chefs in Hongbinlou, one of whom is the head chef and the other 5 are ordinary chefs. Li Donglai is one of the 5 ordinary chefs. However, Master Li has the best cooking skills among these 5 ordinary chefs. In the entire Hongbinlou, except for the head chef, Li Donglai has the best cooking skills!
He Yuzhu walked straight up to Li Donglai and greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Master Li!"
"Sha Zhu is here! Oh, why did you bring your brother here today?" Li Donglai looked up and found that there was someone standing behind Sha Zhu today. He recognized at a glance that the person was Sha Zhu's younger brother Sha Mao.
"Um, Master Li, are you free now? I would like to ask you for a favor. Can you lend me a hand and talk for a moment?" Sha Zhu said while rubbing his hands nervously, obviously not knowing how to start the conversation.
"Sha Zhu, just tell me if you have something to say! Your father and I have a very good relationship. Even though he is nowhere to be found now, our friendship is still there! I will definitely help you if I can!" Li Donglai said as he led Sha Zhu to a deserted corner.
"Um, Master Li, my brother also wants to learn how to cook, so I'd like to ask if he can be an apprentice here?"
"Oh? Mozi wants to learn how to cook too?" Master Li glanced at He Yumo standing in the kitchen. Doesn't this He family kid have a problem with his brain? Learning to cook? He's not going to cut his hand off, is he?
"Well, yes, Mozi is the same age as me, and it's time for him to learn a craft. Master, what do you think?" He Yuzhu said as he gave Li Donglai a big front door.
"Huh? What are you doing, Shazhu? I will do for you what I can do. Where did you learn these capitalist sugar-coated bullets? Take them away!" He said while pretending to refuse, but his eyes were fixed on the big front gate.
"Big men smoke 'Da Qianmen', they are elegant and graceful." This was a famous cigarette advertisement before the liberation. In this era, the allure of Da Qianmen is still strong!
It is still 1950. If it were after 1955, you would need a ticket to buy the Daqianmen ticket, and the supply of tickets was very tight. Even if ordinary people had money, they would not be able to buy it.
"Master, please keep it. This is a small token of my appreciation!"
The two of them started to talk to each other and pulled each other.
He Yumo was not very interested in their conversation. Instead, she walked over to the kitchen helper Xiaolin who was cutting vegetables and watched him cut vegetables.
Xiao Lin was concentrating on cutting his chili shreds at this time. The master said that cutting chili shreds is a technical job. The shreds must be neither too thick nor too thin, neither too long nor too short, so that the taste will be better.
I was supposed to practice shredding potatoes, but potatoes oxidize and turn black easily once cut, and they don't keep well. In those days, food was quite precious, so I couldn't use it for practice.
