Chapter 325: A Foreigner
"My second brother-in-law is right. It is indeed possible to sell agar-agar skin, but it cannot be sold in winter. It can be sold in summer." Su He said with a smile.
Second Sister Gu nodded and was silent for a while. "Sister-in-law, do you think we can sell meat buns in the cold weather?"
"Roujiamo, it's also convenient to eat, right?"
Su He heard this and said, "Sure, you can sell Roujiamo (Chinese steamed buns) in summer as well as winter."
Second sister Gu looked at her second brother-in-law and said, "Let's study it when we get home tonight."
Second brother-in-law, "Okay."
As a catering person, everyone has some talent in cooking, and Zhang Chen is no exception.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law were going out to sell roujiamo, so the three of them worked together to study and after a few days they finally came up with a delicious recipe. Making roujiamo is actually very simple.
As for the dough and filling, the dough is easy to deal with, while the filling is mainly brined meat with alternating fat and lean texture. As long as the brining is well prepared, everything will taste good.
The delicious roujiamo (Chinese steamed bun) is ready, but it cannot be sold now. Kindergarten will not start until March, so my second sister and her husband will have to wait for a few days.
After celebrating the New Year in Suhe, we prepared to set off for Haishi.
Little girl Lu Jinyi is nine years old this year and will be in the second semester of the second grade when school starts.
Although he is a big kid, he is not that big.
When I heard that my brother was going to Hai City to study, I didn’t think much of it. I just let him go. At most, he would sleep alone at night. Anyway, my brother was too busy during the day to pay attention to her.
But when the time really came to leave, the little girl became sad and started crying loudly.
Her mother died when she was two years old, leaving her with no father. Her brother was her only relative, so she was very dependent on him.
Lu Jincheng also couldn't bear to leave his sister. Seeing his sister crying, his eyes became red. For a moment, he didn't want to go. But according to the long-term plan, he had to go because he had to learn a skill.
This skill will enable him to earn more money in the future.
He is her sister's only support, he must work hard.
He said, "Jinyi, don't cry. I will come to see you during the summer vacation."
"Uh-huh."
It is said that children from poor families grow up early and are sensible, and the same is true for children without parents. Although Lu Jinyi was reluctant to let her brother go, she did not ask him not to go.
She just cried.
After the brother and sister said goodbye, Lu Jincheng took out all his savings, 1,500 yuan, and gave it to Su He, "Aunt, this money is for you."
"Jinyi will be taking care of you for the next two years. Please help her pay for her tuition, clothes, shoes, pocket money..."
Su He took one thousand and said, "I don't need that much. I think you will have some money left over from this one thousand."
"Don't worry, Jincheng. We will treat Jinyi like our own daughter and won't let her suffer any injustice. When summer vacation comes, I will bring Jinyi to Haishi to see you."
Lu Jincheng: "Yeah."
He had no doubt about this, as Aunt Su and Uncle really treated them as their own children, and they even gave them New Year's gifts.
On the seventh day, all shops open.
Su He also took her five employees to the south to Haishi.
Like Chen Yuan, Ye Shuang and He Zhizhi, these five people went away for the first time to learn a craft and were full of longing for the future.
Arrived in Hai City, contacted Master Huang.
Master Huang took everyone to the western restaurant and met several of their chefs.
Only then did I realize that the other person was a foreigner.
Master Huang introduced, "Renault is French and came to China fifteen years ago."
Su He, "Master Huang, does he know Chinese? None of them know French!"
Not to mention Su He was shocked, Lu Jincheng, Zhu Linlin and others were also quite shocked, because their master was actually a foreigner, and a French one at that.
This guy, they can speak a little English, but not a word of French!
"Hello, I speak Chinese." Renault extended his hand.
Su He hurriedly said, "Hello, hello."
"Are they the ones who want to learn?" Renault pointed at Lu Jincheng and the others, speaking not very standard Chinese.
Su He nodded, "Yes, Master Lei." She said this in French.
Thanks to the system for giving her French learning cards, she became proficient in French.
Renault was surprised, "You speak French?"
Su He smiled, "Yes, I have learned it."
Renault smiled and said, "Oh! That's great."
Next, Su He discussed with Renault for a while about Su He Western Restaurant. Renault spoke his own country's language much faster.
Seeing the two people chatting in French, Master Huang and Lu Jincheng were stunned.
Master Huang asked Lu Jincheng, "Does your boss speak French?"
This is not just an ordinary skill, but a very skilled and top-level one.
Lu Jincheng shook his head, "Aunt Su is a teacher at Peking University. I knew she could speak English, but I didn't expect she could speak French as well."
Master Huang: "That's amazing."
He also knows English and a little French, but not very fluently.
After Su He and Reno finished talking, Master Huang came over.
"Sister, you are amazing. You can actually speak French."
Su He smiled, "A little bit."
Master Huang, "Sister, you are too modest. You don't just know a little bit. You have mastered it. It is no different from your mother tongue."
"Sister, besides French, you also know English, right?"
Su He smiled and nodded, "I know a little bit of Russian and German, but I learned them later, when I was in college."
Master Huang, "Sister, stop being so modest, you are so amazing!"
Su He laughed, "Not as good as my eldest daughter, she knows more than ten foreign languages."
She is very smart. If she hadn't learned these foreign languages systematically, it would have taken her a long time to learn them. But she learned almost everything in four years.
Master Huang, "My eldest niece works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right?"
"right."
Master Huang, "You two, mother and daughter, are better than your teacher."
"It's not bad."
Su He chatted with Master Huang for a few words, and then said to Lu Jincheng and others, "I just talked to your master. You can go to his Western restaurant to learn. You will get a salary every month, and food is provided."
"You guys don't have to cook for yourselves."
"But I give you two hundred dollars a month for pocket money, so if you want to go out to eat, use that money."
Several people said, "Thank you, Aunt Su."
Su He, "Don't worry, your master knows Chinese, you can communicate with him in Chinese."
"Yes, I understand, Aunt Su." Several people nodded.
"By the way, I have something to do. Are you guys going to stay in this restaurant or go back?"
She was going to look for Mr. and Mrs. Xu, and had asked them about the house before.
The five of them discussed it for a while, and Lu Jincheng said, "Aunt Su, we want to go to the kitchen and take a look."
Su He: "Okay, go with your master."
Several people came over and asked, "Auntie Su, hello, Master, who should I call and how should I say it?"
Su He smiled and said, "You clever fellows, come on, I'll teach you."
The master is French, and it is good for the apprentice to introduce himself in French to seem closer.
"Why not? Why not? Goodbye."
After practicing a few times, they went to talk to their teacher Renault.
Although his English was not standard, Renault was very happy and introduced himself in Chinese.
Several people, "Hello, Master."
Renault, "Come with me to the kitchen."
