She named her cuisine "Fusion Cuisine," which means to integrate various regions and connect the north and south.
After leading the apprentices on a tour, Xia Enruo took out her own recipes and seasoning methods in the conference room. Of course, these were all confidential and could not be revealed to outsiders.
She divided the eight people into three groups, each learning Chinese cuisine, Western cuisine, and pastries and fruit tea according to her designed curriculum.
After learning the theoretical techniques, the next step is to go downstairs to the kitchen for hands-on practice, and finally practice in the cafeteria, where company staff will evaluate the taste.
After practicing a few times, you'll have memorized it perfectly. Then you won't make any mistakes when selling it in your shop.

After Xia Enruo's matter was clarified, the disciplinary actions from her superiors were immediately issued.
The president of Yongning Newspaper was dismissed and demoted to a regular staff member; the editor-in-chief, Jiao Zhenguo, was dismissed and demoted to a regular staff member; and editor Chen Yan was fired!
Zhang Baozhu, the village head of Xiaoxigou Village, was dismissed from his post, and the public security authorities have opened a case to investigate him for embezzling government subsidies allocated to villagers.
After the seven-day detention period expired, Zhang Baozhu was issued an arrest warrant by the procuratorate.
Upon hearing this news, he immediately deflated.
He never imagined that the shameful things he did in the village would be dug up.
His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.
After being released from the detention center, Wang Yue'e, without Zhang Baozhu as her pillar of support, was like a drowned chicken, her mental state deteriorating significantly.
She went to the newsstand and bought a provincial newspaper. Hearing the voices around her criticizing her family, she shrank back, clutched the newspaper, and fled in panic.
She bought a train ticket for that day and fled back to the county town overnight.
As soon as I entered the hospital corridor, I could hear my mother-in-law Miao Cuilan shouting from afar.
"These two little rascals have been gone from Yongning for so long, why haven't they come back yet? It must be that our annoying wife is out there having fun and is pestering Baozhu to come back."
"The money they gave me is almost gone, and the doctor has been pressing us for your medical bills several times. If we don't pay soon, they'll kick us out."
Miao Cuilan sat on the edge of the bed and started complaining to Zhang Tieniu. Zhang Tieniu was now paralyzed on one side and couldn't even speak. He was on oxygen every day and was like a vegetable.
Wang Yue'e stood outside the door, her eyes blazing with fury. This damned old woman had caused her husband to go to jail and now she was satisfied. Her life was completely ruined.
She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and went inside.
As soon as Miao Cuilan saw her daughter-in-law return, she got off the ground and swung her cane at her twice.
"You little brat, you finally know how to come back! I told you to go ask for money, not to go sightseeing. Where's Baozhu? Where is he? How much money did you get from that little beast?"
Wang Yue'e stared blankly at her mother-in-law without saying a word.
Miao Cuilan waited for a long time but saw no response, so she spat.
"Have you gone crazy from playing around? You can't even speak a normal sentence anymore? Why don't you move that filthy mouth of yours!"
She used her cane to poke Wang Yue'e's body a few times.
"Mom, Baozhu is in jail. Your son is in jail, and your grandson is in jail too."
Wang Yue'e took out the provincial newspaper and threw it in Miao Cuilan's face.
"This is?"
Miao Cuilan was stunned for a moment.
"This is the evidence that your son is in jail. Now you can show it off. I bet every household in the village has a copy of this newspaper, waiting for us to come back and laugh at us."
This was the first time Wang Yue'e had spoken to her mother-in-law with such firmness.
Enraged, Miao Cuilan reached out to slap her, but Wang Yue'e pushed her to the ground.
"Baozhu's already in jail, do you still expect me to pay for this old man's medical treatment?"
"You...you jinx..."
Miao Cuilan lay on the ground, raised her finger and pointed, then suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her heart and passed out.
Wang Yue'e remained completely calm and did not seek medical help.
Instead, she turned around and pulled the oxygen tube off her father-in-law, Zhang Tieniu.
She closed the door, took a wet towel from the basin, and placed it on Zhang Tieniu's face.
"Old man, you're stingy and you expect me to pay for your medical treatment and die? You'll be free of illness when you get to the underworld."
Half an hour later, she ran out to call the doctor.
In the end, Miao Cuilan died of a heart attack and Zhang Tieniu died of suffocation...

Besides cooking at the shop, Xia Enruo has spent almost all her time at the company training apprentices these past few days.
She must make all the necessary preparations before she starts her own business, otherwise the store's operation will encounter difficulties.
Fortunately, her teaching methods were effective, and within a week, the apprentices had mastered the simple dishes. Their taste was almost identical to hers.
Even the employees eating in the cafeteria raved about it. They couldn't tell which dish was made by the apprentice and which by the master.
Xia Enruo replicated all the fruit teas she had developed in her previous life, totaling more than fifty varieties. She taught her apprentices how to make them, and now her supermarket's freezer displays all kinds of fruit teas made in the company's pastry kitchen, with demand exceeding supply.
Gu Shaoxuan got another TV ticket while in the army and gave it to Yuan Qiang to take back to the city.
Ge Qiuqin's joy was palpable as she held the ticket.
"Sister-in-law, let's strike while the iron is hot. Let's hurry to the department store and buy it."
"Yeah! The kids will be so happy to see TV when they get home from school. They've been living at the company's place lately and they're all getting really bored."
Xia Enruo got dressed and accompanied Ge Qiuqin to the department store, where the two of them bought a Huanyu brand 14-inch TV for 446 yuan.
Now Ge Qiuqin earns several thousand yuan a month from her salary plus commission and bonuses, which is more than enough to buy a TV.
The sales clerk recognized Xia Enruo at a glance.
"Comrade, didn't you just come here a few days ago to buy a television?"
"Yes, you have a good memory. I came here with my sister-in-law to buy things this time."
"Your family is really rich; everyone in your family owns a TV. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."
"We have to thank that we were born in a good time, and thank the Party's good policies of reform and opening up, which have made our lives more and more prosperous."
The two carried the television and walked out. Xia Enruo was pregnant and unable to help, so she could only follow behind Ge Qiuqin.
"Xia, there are a lot of people here, so be careful when you walk, or you'll get bumped into."
Ge Qiuqin was worried that the large crowd might jostle her, so she gave her instructions.
"Sister-in-law, I'm being careful. You go ahead. I'll just follow behind you."
The two walked out of the department store, chatting and laughing, towards the company.
Chen Yan, who was out for a stroll, spotted them from afar.
She fainted at home when she heard she had been fired from the newspaper.
Chen Yan's father was anxious but helpless.
At first, he tried to get city leaders to speak on his behalf, but he was rejected each time.
The responses all said that the incident had a very negative impact, and the provincial leaders were particularly furious, disciplining many people. No one dared to plead for them, for fear of getting into trouble.
