"Don't you have to work so early in the morning? What are you chatting about here?" At this time, Wan Fugui walked in.
Wan Fugui is the head chef here. He is over 60 years old this year. His cooking skills are the most exquisite in Hongbinlou, and no one in Hongbinlou can surpass him.
Especially his specialties, which no one has been able to master so far. For some reason, they are always a little off every time.
So now many people come here to eat, and they specifically ask for the signature dishes made by him, which are equivalent to the golden signboard of Hongbinlou.
But this person has a bit of an arrogant temper and is not easy to talk to.
"Master Wan, you're here!" Master Li greeted him quickly.
"Hey, isn't this Shazhu's younger brother, the second son of the Daqing family? Why is he in the kitchen?" Master Wan was a little displeased.
Because of the rules he had set before, outsiders were not allowed to enter the kitchen.
"Master Wan, the thing is, Sha Zhu wants his brother to be a kitchen helper here, and I happened to be short of a helper, so I agreed!" Master Li said quickly.
"Yes, yes, Master Wan, my brother will just have a quick lunch here for free. I promise to keep an eye on him and won't cause any trouble for you!"
"Your brother? Can he do it?" Master Wan glanced at He Yumo with a skeptical expression.
"Let him try first, do some simple cleaning and scrubbing. Hey, I just feel sorry for the two brothers. After the Qing Dynasty left, it was so pitiful for the two kids, and they still have to take care of a younger sister..."
"Since you're willing to bring him, then let him come! But the kitchen is different from other places, so make sure you keep an eye on him!"
"Yes, yes, thank you Master Wan. I promise to take good care of my brother and not cause you any trouble!" Sha Zhu said happily, straightening his back and saluting Master Wan!
"Hey, Xiaolin, did you cut these cucumber shreds?"
Xiao Lin is Master Wan's apprentice. He glanced at the cucumber shreds next to him and was about to speak.
Master Wan smiled and praised, "Not bad, the cucumber shreds here are well done, a big improvement compared to before! It seems you've put in some effort recently. But the one next to it isn't quite as good... Keep it up!"
"Master... this..." Xiao Lin was a little confused. He scratched his head, glanced at He Yumo, and then looked at the cucumber shreds carefully.
This cucumber is indeed cut better than mine, but it seems like it was cut by a fool just now. Hey, is this fool crazy? He can actually cut vegetables? And he can even cut it better than me?
You know, I have been practicing for a long time!
Hearing what Master Wan said, He Yuzhu and Master Li also hurried over. They had just seen that the cucumber shreds seemed to be cut by He Yumo.
Master Li was a little surprised: "Hey, the cucumber shreds are cut well! Silly boy, were you the one who cut this just now?" Although he saw it just now, he still found it hard to believe.
He had heard before that He Yumo's IQ was like that of a 6 or 7-year-old child, and his hands and feet were very clumsy. He didn't expect that he could actually cut vegetables, and cut them quite well!
He Yuzhu was also surprised. When did his younger brother go back to cut vegetables?!
He Yumo smiled and said, "I learned it from my brother at home!"
Now it was Master Wan's turn to be surprised. He had never imagined that this fool had cut the cucumber into shreds! He had been teaching this apprentice for several months, but he couldn't even cut as well as this fool! Was this what they called talent?
"Okay, okay! Since you can cut vegetables, you can help me with the cutting work from now on! But, be careful with the knife and don't cut yourself or others!"
Master Li was very happy! It seems that you are not as bad as the legend says! At least your vegetable cutting is much better than that of Master Wan's apprentice who has been learning for a long time!
"Thank you, Master Li!" He Yumo said.
I can finally stay in the kitchen, and I can start cutting vegetables right away. This is a good way to quickly improve my cooking skills!
This Hongbinlou has to prepare at least a few hundred tables of dishes a day, which must require a lot of cutting of vegetables. Just thinking about it makes He Yumo happy!
The other kitchen helpers looked at He Yumo enviously. This kid is so lucky!
You know, when kitchen helpers like them first come, they only do chores like washing vegetables, washing dishes, and cleaning. It takes several months before they can even touch a kitchen knife! I didn't expect this kid to be able to learn how to cut vegetables right after arriving!
He Yuzhu was also very happy to hear this. Thinking back to the time when he washed dishes and vegetables for two months before he started learning to cut vegetables, and that was because He Daqing was the chef here, so he got some special treatment. Otherwise, it would probably take even longer! He didn't expect that his silly brother was actually better than him!
"Everyone, stop standing there like idiots and get to work! Can you cook this dish and serve it to the customers' table while you're standing there like idiots?" Chef Wan shouted sternly!
Everyone then returned to their respective posts, still envious of the fool's good luck!
"That idiot!" Master Li shouted.
"Master Li, can you call me Yumo from now on? I don't like the name of Shamao!" He Yumo said seriously.
This time, He Yuzhu was the one who looked at his brother in disbelief. How could he make such a request directly? To be honest, he didn't like the name "Shazhu". As a grown man, who would want to be called "Shazhu"?
But since everyone else called him that, he didn't know how to refuse and could only agree with a smile. After a long time, he felt that Sha Zhu was his name and almost forgot his real name!
Master Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Yumo from now on! Yumo! Go chop up that pile of lettuce!"
"Okay, Master!"
He Yuzhu scratched his head. It seemed that this was not as difficult as he had imagined!
He Yumo picked up a lettuce and started cutting it.
He Yuzhu was afraid that his brother might make some mistakes, so he watched from the side. He saw He Yumo picked up the knife and started cutting the lettuce skillfully. He didn't look like a novice at all!
He Yuzhu was shocked, but at the same time, he felt very relieved. It seemed that letting his brother learn to cook was a very correct decision! His brother seemed to have a lot of talent in this area!
