The afternoon snack consisted of egg dumplings, spicy and sour chicken giblets, and oyster mushrooms.
The egg dumplings were made yesterday, and today all I need to do is add chili powder and steam them. Relatively speaking, it's not as busy as lunchtime.
Since she intended to teach He's father a lesson, He Wenlin planned to continue ignoring him until he had learned his lesson.
When He Wenlin got up to go to work in the afternoon, she still didn't wake him up. The others naturally cooperated with He Wenlin, and then He's father slept until 3:30!
When I woke up and rushed to the store, I saw that everyone in my family, young and old, was working together in perfect harmony. Whether he was there or not was completely irrelevant.
Mr. He was furious!
"Mom, why didn't you call me when you got up?" Dad said with a displeased look.
Grandma He didn't even look up, her tone indifferent: "The boss has already fired you, why would I need to call you?"
Father He: "..."
He thought that after his behavior all morning, his rebellious daughter had forgiven him and that what happened last night was over, but it turned out that she hadn't!
Whose child has such a temper?
If you didn't know better, you'd think this was his daughter!
Grandma He continued, "When are you going to go out and find a job? You're a grown man, you can't always stay at home eating your daughter's food. Your daughter isn't even an adult yet, and you're only in your thirties. Aren't you ashamed?"
Mr. He: "..." I can't live like this anymore!!!
Grandma He stopped there, after all, there were many younger people, and she still had to give Grandpa He some face.
Mr. He was unhappy, but he still obediently did his work at home.
After successfully getting through the afternoon's busy period, He Wenlin and He Shan went to buy five boxes of popsicles together.
When Lin Fei got home, he told He Wenlin, "I heard from Xiao Jian today that his dad is going to work at Hongda tomorrow."
He Wenlin was shocked: "So, he really intends to give up the business?"
Lin Fei then told He Wenlin, "Xiao Jian also said that his father wanted to spend some money to learn cooking, but his mother disagreed, saying that cooking skills cannot be learned in a day or two, and that tuition and living expenses would cost at least ten thousand yuan. Moreover, if he went to learn, he would not be able to work for at least a year."
"That's true. If you encounter a bad teacher, you might not even learn it in a year."
He Wenlin remembers that in her past life she knew a cake chef. It is said that when she paid tuition to learn how to make cakes and bread at a cake shop in 2006, the tuition was five thousand.
I worked in the shop for half a year, and all I did was crack eggs, mix ingredients, and follow the chef to process dough and cake batter. I had no idea how to tell the quality of dough or how to tell if sponge cake or chiffon cake was properly beaten.
If you want to learn cooking skills, the tuition fee probably won't be lower than this. You also need to find a dedicated teacher, otherwise you'll have to start learning from washing and chopping vegetables. If things go smoothly, it might take half a year before you can really start learning to stir-fry.
If you have good comprehension, after half a year of washing and cutting, and half a year of learning to stir-fry, you might be able to open a food stall or fast food restaurant.
However, this involves a time cost.
He Wenlin believed that He Xingjia could scrape together ten thousand yuan for tuition and living expenses, and borrow from various places. However, his two children needed to go to school, and he couldn't send a single penny home during this year of apprenticeship. If he relied entirely on Liang Xiaoying, the pressure would be too great.
Moreover, it's not guaranteed that one can learn it in a year, and making money in business is not guaranteed. Ordinary people without support simply cannot afford the cost of trial and error, so it was to be expected that Liang Xiaoying would disagree.
“I feel that Qianqian and Xiaojian still want to come back and work,” Lin Fei told He Wenlin.
Originally, everyone got along very well, but because of He Xing's business dealings, the relationship between their generation became very awkward.
Since moving to her new rented apartment, He Wenlin has had no contact with He Qian and He Jian, the siblings.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to interact with each other.
They came here to work, certainly not for the salary, but simply because it's a lively place.
“Her dad did something like that and still wants to come back? He probably wants to learn from her,” He Shan said. “Linlin can’t agree to that.”
“We have plenty of manpower right now, why would we need so many?” He Wenlin laughed. “Once Brother Linfei and my second brother can handle things on their own, I’ll consider opening a branch. You two should learn from them. If you don’t go it alone for now, and I open a branch, you’ll be the head chefs, and I’ll increase your salaries.”
Upon hearing about the pay raise, Lin Fei and his second brother, He Wenjun, beamed with joy.
Lin Fei laughed and said, "Last time I told my mom I had learned how to open my own shop, she scolded me for being delusional. Linlin, I'll work for you instead. Give me a bigger raise then."
“Okay, Chef Lin.”
"Linlin, didn't you say we'd calculate sales and get bonuses if we met our targets? Where are the bonuses?" He Shan asked with a grin, holding out her hand to He Wenlin.
He Wenlin slapped him: "It will be issued tomorrow afternoon. I used up all my money today and I don't have enough funds left."
"Really!" He Shan and Lin Fei were both very happy.
"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you? When you get the money, don't spend it recklessly. Keep it to buy a house as an investment. House prices will skyrocket in the future."
He Wenlin instilled the concept of investment in them and told them about the benefits of buying a house.
Rural children lack mentors, which is why it's so difficult for them to succeed and why they generally take many more detours than urban children.
He Wenlin has been reborn, and she hopes to become the leader of her family, giving more patience and guidance to those who deserve it.
To be honest, He Shan, He Wenlin, and Lin Fei were actually moved by He Wenlin's words.
...
That evening, He Wenlin didn't let her grandmother and younger brother come over.
As for He's father, he had already been dismissed, so He Wenlin didn't bother with him anymore.
He Wenlin asked her second brother to stir-fry some noodles for everyone as a late-night snack.
Although he wasn't as quick to learn as Lin Fei, he had cooked so many dishes that he was finally able to do it now.
That evening, He Wenlin asked him and Lin Fei to be in charge of cooking.
He Wenlin was responsible for chatting with the guests, learning about the dishes, seeing what dishes everyone liked, and listening to the guests' opinions.
"Linlin, is it true that you said you were taking on a glutinous rice ball as an apprentice?" Zhou Libo asked.
"What, Brother Zhou, you want to learn?"
"Yes, I want to learn. Where's your dad?"
“You don’t need to ask my dad about this, just ask me,” He Wenlin said. “If you want to learn, the tuition is two thousand, but we’re old acquaintances, so I’ll charge you eighteen thousand. But you can’t sell here and steal my business. We’ll write all of this down, it’s not just talk, it’s written down and has legal effect.”
“Your business is so good here, who can compete with you? If I come here to steal your business, wouldn’t that be suicide?” Zhou Libo laughed. “I heard that He Xing quit and is going to work in a factory. I don’t want to become the next He Xing, that would be too embarrassing.”
