After sending Xiaomei to school, Du Shaojie returned home.
Wang Yongli's residence was nearby, so he could be on call at any time.
Du Shaojie closed the door, went upstairs to take a shower, and began to count his gains during this period.
During this period, he was still quite diligent, and he would cook a few dishes more or less every day. Therefore, the accumulated dishes with a comprehensive evaluation of "exquisite delicacies" reached 60.
This also brought him 30,000 exchange points and 600,000 hours of general time.
The consumption was not large, and a total of 40,000 hours were consumed.
[Exchange points: 251,918 points\565,066 points]
[Time: 890,000 hours\8,733,000 hours]
Seeing the numbers on the light curtain, Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile slightly, and the remaining time was finally a little more generous.
At this time, someone outside the yard was ringing the doorbell.
"Ding Dong!"
Du Shaojie closed the light curtain and went to the yard.
When he opened the door and saw it, he was stunned for a moment. It was Wang Yongli standing outside the door.
"Didn't you just go back? Why are you here again?"
"Boss Du, I left my key here with you. I'll go look for it."
Wang Yongli winked at Du Shaojie, and then the two of them closed the door and went into the house together.
"Yongli, what happened?"
"I just went out and found someone staring at your house furtively. I walked around and the man had left."
"Are you sure? What is the purpose of that person staring at my house?"
Du Shaojie felt incredible after hearing what Wang Yongli said.
This is not a foreign country. After two years of severe crackdowns, the domestic public security has improved a lot. He couldn't imagine what someone wanted to do by staring at him. Blackmail? Kidnapping? Revenge?
It seemed a bit magical.
"I don't know, but that person must be staring at the door here. I will never make a mistake. Boss Du, how about changing a place to sleep tonight? Or I'll stay and I can take care of it if anything happens."
Wang Yongli is not the kind of person who is afraid of things. He is just worried about the safety of his boss.
Du Shaojie thought for a moment and said, "Come with me to have a look."
Wang Yongli wanted to stop him, but Du Shaojie just walked out, so he had to hurry up and follow.
The two walked around and found everything was normal and found nothing wrong.
So they were ready to go back. When they were not far from the door of their home, Wang Yongli suddenly grabbed Du Shaojie's arm and whispered, "Boss Du, that's the man."
Du Shaojie looked in the direction Wang Yongli pointed and saw a man squatting diagonally opposite his door.
The man stared at the door of Du Shaojie's house with his eyes fixed. Doesn't he look sneaky?
Du Shaojie shook off Wang Yongli's hand and walked over with big strides.
The man then noticed that someone was approaching him. He looked up and stood up tremblingly.
"Brother Jie."
"Hou San, when did you come? Why didn't you come in? What's the matter with squatting outside?"
"I"
Wang Yongli quickly chased after him, and then found out that the sneaky man actually knew the boss.
Then he saw Du Shaojie dragging the man home. The man's feet were a little unsteady when he walked, but it was not noticeable if you didn't pay attention.
After entering the house and sitting down, Wang Yongli went to make a pot of tea and brought it over, and then went to the yard to rest.
"Tell me, what's going on? You came but didn't come into the house, and you were wandering around my door. What's interesting?"
Hou San is Hou Xinli, who once joined Du Shaojie's [Pepper and Spicy Chicken] store and made money at that time.
Later, some franchisees were unwilling to continue paying the franchise fee, and coupled with some special circumstances, Du Shaojie stopped the franchise authorization.
Since then, he has not seen Hou Xinli.
"Brother Jie, I was not one of the franchisees who made trouble at that time. But you stopped doing it later, and I tried to make it myself. The business was getting worse and worse, so I gave up the [Spicy Chicken] business.
After that, I tried some other businesses, but the results were not ideal. Once, I met a boss in the clothing business. The other party said something exaggerated, so I took out my old capital and borrowed some money to cooperate with the other party, but I was cheated.
I came to Yangcheng to find this liar, but after a few months, I couldn't find him at all. Now I am penniless, so..."
Hou Xinli lowered his head when he said this.
He was wandering around the old street that day and accidentally saw an employee of the [Barbecue Restaurant]. The man used to work in a snack bar, and Hou Xinli happened to know him.
He originally wanted to borrow some money from the other party, but he saw Du Shaojie at the door of the [Barbecue Restaurant] and then found out where the other party lived.
Hou Xinli talked for a long time intermittently, and Du Shaojie finally understood the cause and effect.
"You've seen me, why don't you come over to say hello? And you know where I live, but you don't come in. Is there something
you can't tell me?" "Well, I don't know if you misunderstood me at the beginning. I really want to do things well and have never been involved in those people's affairs.
If you trust me, I will follow you. If you don't trust me, just lend me some travel expenses and I will pay you back when I go back."
Hou Xinli sat there dejectedly and told the truth.
It's not that he has any other purpose, but he has been worried about gains and losses, so he has been wandering outside the door for so long.
After listening to this, Du Shaojie breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the matter was very normal, without any magical color.
The franchise operation that year ended in a bad mood. Du Shaojie knew that Hou Xinli did not participate in the trouble. After all, the two of them came from Chunfeng Lane and were neighbors. He didn't mind helping each other once.
"You can work with me, or you can learn the craft. It's up to you."
Du Shaojie gave Hou Xinli time to think about it. He walked into the yard and asked Wang Yongli to bring back some barbecue.
As soon as he saw Hou Xinli's look, he knew that the other party hadn't eaten yet, but it was a bit late now, so he might as well eat some barbecue.
Later, Wang Yongli brought back a lot of barbecue, and Du Shaojie accompanied Hou Xinli to drink some beer.
"Brother Jie, I am willing to follow you."
Hou Xinli didn't want to go back for the time being. He was still hoping to meet a liar one day.
Besides, learning a skill and opening a shop is not his first choice now. What kind of shop can he open without a penny in his pocket? It is better to follow Du Shaojie to make some money first.
"Well, where are you living now?"
"I live in a hotel, but I am about to be kicked out."
"Go and move your luggage over, and I will arrange a place for you to live. As for what kind of job you will do, I will tell you later. Yongli, you accompany him and temporarily settle him in the dormitory of the [barbecue restaurant]."
Du Shaojie sent Hou San out, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Hou San should have made some money by opening a shop and doing business, but unfortunately, many aspects are not standardized these days, and there are many scammers. If you are not careful, you will fall into someone else's trap.
We are all fellow villagers, so you can't let him sleep on the street, right?
The next day.
Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to take Hou San to take a bath and get a haircut, and then bought him two sets of clothes and some daily necessities.
At noon, he invited him to have a seafood meal and also gave him a month's salary in advance.
Du Shaojie arranged for Hou San to work in the [barbecue restaurant] first, and then make adjustments when there is an opportunity. The salary is not high, but at least he can save some money and avoid living on the streets.
This morning.
Du Shaojie is preparing to make [roast duck] again.
"Yongli, go call Hou Xinli over and ask him to come and help me."
Du Shaojie heard that Hou San did a good job in the [barbecue restaurant] and planned to give him a chance.
Wang Yongli responded and quickly called him over.
Du Shaojie first asked Hou San to wash the white-striped duck, and then explained while pickling it.
Hou San learned very seriously. After all, he had been making [pepper and sesame chicken] for many years, so he was not completely new, and he learned quite quickly.
After the pickling was done, the next step was roasting. Du Shaojie asked him to help him, and he taught him some technical points without reservation.
"Okay, take these [roast ducks] to the door of the barbecue restaurant and sell them."
Du Shaojie also demonstrated to him that it was easy to master the cutting and slicing, and Hou San learned it right away.
At noon, the neighbors nearby saw it and asked, and it turned out that it was indeed the [roast duck] made by Chef Du. In less than an hour, it was all sold out.
Hou San followed Du Shaojie's instructions, handed the money to the [barbecue restaurant], and then had lunch with the employees.
From that day on, Du Shaojie would make [roast duck], [white-cut chicken], [beef in soy sauce], [Texas Braised Chicken] and other dishes every now and then, and every time he would ask Hou San to come and help.
Hou San knew that he was being taught by others, so he didn't dare to be lazy at all.
However, he learned the production of [roast duck] and [Texas Braised Chicken] very quickly, but other things were slower.
"Let's make [roast duck] today. You do it all by yourself, and I'll check it for you on the side."
Time was in a hurry.
Du Shaojie felt that Hou San had learned enough, so he started to let him make it alone.
With his advice, Hou San's [roast duck] was not bad, at least it was recognized by customers. To be honest, Hou San's [roast duck] is better than 99% of the roast meat shops in the old street.
After consolidating for a period of time, Du Shaojie called Hou San into the house.
"You can be a master now. You will make roast duck in the [barbecue shop] in the future. I will ask them to buy a grill. You will be responsible for this project, and you don't have to worry about the barbecue."
Du Shaojie increased Hou San's basic salary, and he can also get commissions.
When his skills meet his requirements, he can open his own shop. Selling [roast duck] here will definitely make more money than selling [pepper chicken]. After all, the customer base of roast meat here is much larger.
"Mr. Du, you have helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you in the future."
If Du Shaojie hadn't stopped him, Hou San really planned to kneel down.
Du Shaojie waved his hand indifferently and said,
"Don't think too much about the past. Now you have a new skill. When the conditions are ripe, go out and open a shop. Remember, when doing business in the future, don't touch unfamiliar industries."
"Yeah, every failure makes you wiser. If you lose money, just treat it as a lesson. But don't let me meet that liar. If I meet him, I will definitely make him pay!"
Hou San still couldn't let go of that knot in his heart. (End of this chapter)
