Chapter 126 Sun Dehai Calls
"ah!!!
...I was so scared! Why is it you? When did you come back? " Zhao Xiaojing was just feeling happy when she heard a shout in her ear.
"What are you doing? Why are you holding a knife like a murderer with such a crazy expression!" Su Yuchen cursed. She was just learning it with great enthusiasm when she turned around and saw someone behind her holding a kitchen knife and laughing. She was so scared that she almost fainted. It took her a long time to realize that it was Zhao Xiaojing.
"Comb! Come look at my new knife!"
Zhao Xiaojing turned around and saw that Su Yuchen had discovered her. She didn't bother to listen to what Su Yuchen was shouting. She smiled brightly and waved the knife to show it off.
"Isn't this just an ordinary kitchen knife?" Su Yuchen walked over and took a look, his face bewildered. "What's the difference between this and the one in the kitchen?"
"Of course there is a difference. You will know it after using it, hehe." Zhao Xiaojing wiped the kitchen knife lovingly and put it away.
"Look in the mirror, where did you get the USB flash drive you gave me? It's amazing!" Su Yuchen glanced at the kitchen knife and didn't see what it was. Then he turned around and thought of the guitar lesson he had just learned, and pulled Zhao Xiaojing to the computer.
"I bought it online, thinking it would be useful for you. Isn't it good?"
"It's more than good! I never thought that online courses have developed so well. The teaching is very comprehensive and the pace of the class is very good! Moreover, whenever I don't understand something and am still confused about what it means, she will explain it in detail in the next sentence! It's like it was tailor-made for me!" Su Yuchen was beaming with joy and looked radiant.
"And the fingering errors and details she corrected were all my old problems! I understood them as soon as she demonstrated. She even helped me fix the noise problem that my band's keyboardist corrected me several times but I still couldn't correct! It's amazing! Thank you, Mirror. I really like this gift!"
As Su Yuchen spoke, he hugged Zhao Xiaojing and shook her excitedly.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and patted her on the shoulder. The Xindao system was indeed magical. Although it was not used in conjunction with the learning module, it was indeed tailor-made and had real effects.
After Su Yuchen got excited for a while, Zhao Xiaojing told her what happened at the stall in the evening.
"I also feel that area is not good. It's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. In this weather, even if we cook the food that day, I worry it will go bad. Not to mention the people. Now we are the ones who are being criticized. But when I set up the stall there on the first day, they were bullying each other a lot. None of them are good people."
Su Yuchen shook his head.
"You were right to create the group. I'll print out the group QR code tomorrow morning. We should just keep it ready. If they keep causing trouble, we might as well withdraw early. It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just not worth it."
Zhao Xiaojing was relieved when she heard Su Yuchen shared the same opinion. She nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, we originally wanted to set up a stall at the side door as a temporary solution to save money for opening a shop. If it becomes too time-consuming, we can transfer it out and consider other options.
We are now very good at making pork trotter rice, and our neighbors are buying more and more of it. It doesn’t matter if we make less when the restaurant closes.”
After the two of them had discussed it, they felt relieved and were about to go out for dinner when Sun Dehai called.
After leaving the Yangcheng construction site, several people in the kitchen created a group and kept in touch by sending messages from time to time.
Zhao Xiaojing knew that they were now at the construction site in Hecheng, which was Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua’s hometown.
The kitchen staff had finished their work at this time, so it was not surprising to receive a call from Sun Dehai.
"Xiao Zhao, I need your help with something." After answering the phone, Sun Dehai said straight to the point.
"Master Sun, you're welcome. Go ahead."
"It's like this. National Day is next week. I wonder if you are busy? If you are free, I want to ask you a favor..." Sun Dehai smiled and started talking to Zhao Xiaojing.
It turned out to be about Master Gu, the junior fellow apprentice that Master Sun often talked about. That was when Zhao Xiaojing was about to leave Yangcheng, and Master Sun told her that if she couldn't find a job in Jiangcheng, she should go to that old Gu who had asked him for help.
Lao Gu is also in Jiangcheng. He opened a restaurant in partnership with someone. He is the boss and the chef. Business is usually good, and he has several apprentices under him.
National Day is approaching. Every year on National Day, a large number of couples get married. This year's October 1st coincides with the full moon day, which is a festive day in the lunar calendar. The seats in various hotels and restaurants are in short supply and are fully booked half a year in advance. Lao Gu's store is no exception.
Everything was going according to plan and there were enough people, including helpers, apprentices and waiters.
But Lao Gu's partner was asked by a friend to come to him temporarily, and he couldn't refuse and insisted on arranging another wedding banquet for Lao Gu on the National Day.
There weren't too many people, only about seven or eight tables. The partner had made some space for himself and planned to clean up the grocery room on the first floor and set it up. Together with the empty space behind the stage in the hall, it was barely enough.
But in this case, there will be a shortage of people in the kitchen to cook and cut vegetables, whether they are assistant chefs or food processors.
It just so happened that Sun Dehai had been showing off during this period that he had learned to flip the wok and had excellent frying skills in just one month. Lao Gu was competing with Sun Dehai and wanted to test his authenticity. He was indeed short of manpower, so he entrusted him with help and asked Zhao Xiaojing for help.
"Don't worry, I won't let you help for free. I definitely paid for my help. As for the price, he'll have to negotiate with you."
"Okay, Master Sun, I don't have anything to do on the 11th, so I can go help. But do I need to go over there beforehand to discuss things and maybe try some dishes?"
Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and agreed. Lu Hongwen would specifically remind people that there were not many students going in and out through the side door on weekends and holidays, not to mention National Day. There wasn't much to make for the pork trotter rice, so Su Yuchen would be responsible for cutting the fruit for the dessert. The other small ingredients like the taro balls could be frozen and prepared in advance.
"That's what Lao Gu meant. When you have time, I'll give you his contact information and you can go over and talk to him in detail."
"Okay, that's what I said."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Dehai sent a string of phone numbers. Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and since she was free on the weekend, she called and made an appointment with Master Gu to go to his shop that Saturday.
"How about we just take Saturday off? I'll go to Master Gu after I finish making the dessert, and you don't have to sell pork trotter rice anymore. We sell less on weekends anyway. Why don't you continue practicing the piano at home?" Zhao Xiaojing asked Su Yuchen.
It wasn't that she wanted to be lazy, but business was slow on weekends with fewer students, and the other stalls would be even worse. She was afraid that if Su Yuchen went to set up his stall, those people would cause trouble again. She couldn't handle it alone, and she wouldn't be able to get there in time.
"Hey, it's okay. What's the point of taking a holiday? It's only a few hours since you finished selling. You can just close the stall early and come back to practice. I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. You can go it alone, but I'm invincible!"
Su Yuchen waved his hand to refuse.
