475 Young, but with a big heart
Seeing this, Old Man Du half-closed his eyes and said, "You are lucky to marry such a man."
Fu Zhengtu was a rare talent, calm and steady, loving his wife, and still had a sense of life in his eyes.
Su Taotao smiled and said, "I am not bad either, whoever marries me will be lucky."
Old Man Du did not deny, "That's right, it's not that people from the same family don't marry each other, it's all worth it."
Su Taotao didn't know what Old Man Du said was worth it, and she was too lazy to ask.
He Feng's ears were indeed a little hard of hearing, but it didn't affect communication. In addition, he was nimble and worked very quickly, so this little defect was not noticeable at all.
Su Taotao taught him a few key points in the dishes, and He Feng knew how to do it.
The knife skills of the Thousand-Thread Tofu made Su Taotao wonder if he was a slacker in the past. It was too good!
The first dish of crispy pork was salty and moderate, melted in the mouth, and had no greasy smell. The frying skills were really amazing;
the sauce of the braised three fresh vegetables was just right, a little bit of sauce, but not thick at all, very comfortable to eat.
The stir-fried bean sprouts were amazing! Su Taotao had eaten this dish in a food stall in her previous life, and she could never forget it. This dish mainly depends on the heat and frying skills. Basically, when the heat is right, put it in the pot and stir-fry quickly for a few seconds. It has to be removed from the pot as soon as it is cooked. If the heat is one minute too high, it will be overcooked, and if it is one second late, it will also be overcooked. Everything has to be just right.
And He Feng has mastered this just right!
This is a street food dish that Su Taotao couldn't replicate at home, but He Feng replicated it in just a few steps. How could Su Taotao not be shocked? Su Taotao
didn't even need to try the braised pork. It was thick with red sauce, and every piece of meat was covered with sauce. It was so delicious that it would make people salivate. It was hard not to be delicious!
Looking at the thin radish carvings on the plate, Su Taotao's silence was deafening.
"Mr. Du, where did you find a genius chef like He Feng? He is a culinary genius, you know?" Su Taotao did not hide her satisfaction with He Feng.
Old Master Du snorted, "You're quite knowledgeable. How can someone I personally trained be bad?"
Su Taotao gave Old Master Du a thumbs up.
He Feng was born for her restaurant.
Whether it was the delicate knife skills, the timing of cooking, or the control of taste, he was impeccable.
Su Taotao had a lot of recipes in her mind, and with He Feng, she was not afraid of not being able to replicate them. Su Taotao dared to say boldly that even a Manchu-Han banquet would not be difficult for He Feng as long as there was a recipe.
He Feng pursed his face and shook his head and said, "You taught me well. I'm making some of these dishes for the first time, so I don't know if they taste good."
Listen, listen!
First time making!
Su Taotao was completely convinced.
"I'll tell you the truth, Uncle He, it's a bit unfair for someone like you to stay in my store, and it's not enough to go to a state banquet."
He Feng turned pale and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I, I'll stay with the old man! I won't go anywhere!"
Su Taotao: "..."
Old Man Du, could he be trying to trick someone like a teacher?
Old Man Du waved his hand: "Sit down, that's not what she meant. What do you think of the treatment?" Old Man Du asked Su Taotao.
Su Taotao made a gesture of invitation: "Please go ahead and open the door. I will try my best to satisfy you within my ability."
Old Man Du said: "I believe you can see that he is a little shy. It's not that he is afraid of strangers, but he will feel uncomfortable if he goes to an unfamiliar place without any acquaintances around him. So except for the kitchen, he doesn't take care of other things."
Su Taotao nodded: "Of course, don't worry."
Old Man Du: "I will solve the accommodation problem. You can pay him 80 yuan a month, eat in the store, and don't ask for any tickets. Isn't that too much?"
Su Taotao shook her head.
Old Man Du half-closed his eyes: "Eighty is too high?"
Su Taotao continued to shake her head: "That's not what I meant. I think eighty is a great bargain for me."
Although the average monthly salary now is thirty or fifty yuan, eighty yuan sounds like a lot, but as Old Man Du said, a regular state-owned hotel will issue various tickets. A few industrial tickets and cloth tickets are issued throughout the year. Even if you don't have to sell them yourself, they are worth a lot of money.
So excluding the tickets, for He Feng's level, a monthly salary of eighty yuan is not much at all.
I don't know how much higher the chefs of state-owned hotels are than this.
Su Taotao knocked on the table: "Let's put it this way. You may need to guard the restaurant in the early stage. Before the restaurant makes a profit, I will pay you 80 yuan a month.
After the restaurant makes a profit, it will not be a fixed salary. I will give you a dividend of 10% of the gross profit. In other words, if the dividend exceeds 80, I will pay you according to the dividend. If it does not exceed, I will give you a minimum of 80 yuan. Do you think this is okay?"
What does it mean? He Feng looked at Old Man Du in astonishment.
Old Man Du's eyes narrowed into a line: "Do you know what this means?"
Although Old Man Du did not think that Su Taotao could make 800 yuan a month, she dared to mention it, which was worthy of his high regard for her.
Su Taotao nodded: "Of course I know, Mr. Du, I bet that within three years, the country will definitely open up individual businesses. This small restaurant is a small test before the policy is relaxed.
I don't want to make 800 a month, but 8,000, 80,000, or even more.
So Uncle He and I are not in an employment relationship, but a cooperation. I like long-term and stable partners, not a working mentality. I come to work if I am happy today, and I don't come if I am unhappy tomorrow. Uncle He, do you understand what I mean?"
To put it bluntly, Su Taotao just wants to tie down He Feng.
You know, the chef is the soul of a restaurant, and a restaurant that frequently changes its chef will not develop well.
"I underestimated you!" This is not the first time that Old Man Du has said this to Su Taotao.
Su Taotao's courage is indeed greater than all the women he has ever seen.
You think she just opened a small restaurant to make some pocket money, but in fact she has already planned for three to five years, or even further into the future.
"Let's sign it this way first." Old Man Du said to He Feng, "This woman may not look reliable, but she's a nice person. You won't be sorry if you follow her."
Su Taotao: "…………" Is this a compliment? Or is it a compliment? Does being pretty mean being unreliable?
"Mr. Du, you judge people by their appearance, don't you?" Su Taotao said with a smile.
He Feng always follows Mr. Du's lead. If he says go east, he will never go west.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Su Taotao continued, "But we have three rules. When you work for me, all recipes must be kept confidential and cannot be leaked. Even if the cooperation relationship is terminated in the future, you must obtain my consent to use my original recipes, and you cannot go to my opponent to compete with me, at least not in this city within a year.
Of course, I hope we can continue to cooperate and don't let such things happen. "
This is a competitive clause, which is very common in later generations. Su Taotao doesn't know if it is common here. It sounds a bit like an overlord clause, but she is also worried that someone will poach her with a high salary. If they really poach her and use her recipe to compete with her, she will be really angry.
To put it bluntly, it is also to guard against the villain. If I change one of the raw materials or seasonings, is it still your recipe?
This matter is not clear at all.
Old Man Du sneered at her again: "You are young, but you are very cunning. Don't worry, I am not dead yet, it is not his turn to compete with you."
He Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."
Old Man Du glanced at Su Taotao: "When the policy is relaxed, if you don't have money, just come to me. You can do as much as you want."
Su Taotao didn't take it seriously, but bowed and said: "Then I thank you first."
"Mom, I'm starving, can I eat now?" The child's voice came before he arrived.
"You are back just in time, and dinner will be served immediately." Su Taotao replied.
Chenchen ran in with a smile on his face: "We bought apples, pears, and oranges, all of which are mom's favorites. We also bought soda!"
Su Taotao helped him take off his hat and gloves: "That's great, Chenchen, you've worked hard."
"Not hard." Chenchen smiled shyly.
The Fu family members were busy, and everyone helped to prepare the meal, and soon sat cross-legged on the kang to eat.
"Wow, today's food is delicious, mom is doing a great job!" Chenchen also likes the food cooked by Su Taotao, and it tasted better today than usual.
Su Taotao: "Right, but today's dish is not made by me, have you forgotten?"
Chen Chen tasted it carefully again: "Yes, I know, it was made by Uncle He, right? It's delicious!"
Chen Chen gave He Feng a thumbs up!
Zhou Linglan and the others also said it was delicious.
"We will have a treat in the future. Uncle He is the chef of our restaurant. Come on, let's go and welcome and thank Uncle He for joining us."
Chen Chen held a soda and showed his support: "Welcome Uncle He. I will eat Uncle He's cooking every day in the future!"
He Feng was flattered: "You're welcome..."
After Fu Zhengtu clinked glasses with He Feng,
he gently touched Su Taotao's cup: "Congratulations." The couple smiled at each other, and Su Taotao replied: "Congratulations."
...
Since the kitchen was handed over to He Feng, Su Taotao simply let him build his own team to avoid re-adjusting with the people she recruited.
He Feng naturally did not have this idea, nor did he have the courage, so Old Man Du took the responsibility and took it.
He knew that Su Taotao's original intention was to help the soldiers in the kitchen squad who had just returned from the army, so he also started to pay attention to this direction.
Since Old Man Du took over this matter, Su Taotao didn't care about it and focused on the decoration.
There was only one week left before the start of school, and Chenchen had to take an entrance test in advance before school started.
Fu Zhengtu took the opportunity to take the children to familiarize themselves with the school.
Chenchen leaned on the school gate and looked inside with wide eyes:
"Dad, will I go to this school in the future? It's so big."
Fu Zhengtu nodded and touched the child's head: "Yes, it is here, but the class discipline here may not be as casual as the elementary school on the base.
You may have to take classes seriously for a while, and after the first exam, Dad can apply to the school for flexible schooling for you."
Without rules, there will be no order. The restrictions in the capital are relatively more than in small places.
Fu Zhengtu can ask for leave for Chenchen with various reasons, but Chenchen has also reached the age to learn to be disciplined.
He is no longer willing to trap him in the classroom, and he must let him understand that there are some rules and some disciplines that students must abide by.
Chenchen nodded and said, "Yeah, Dad, the school is so big, I can play for a long time."
Fu Zhengtu picked up the child and said, "Chenchen, you may have to take seven classes in the classroom all day, each class is 45 minutes, some of which are music, art, or physical education classes.
Dad hopes that you can record the teacher's lectures. After a week, Dad will come back from vacation to see what the teacher has said.
Let's take a week as an experiment. You can take a full week and not miss a single class. Can you do it?"
Chenchen thought about it, tilted his head and asked, "Just like Dongdong and Pangpang, are you going to class seriously every day?"
Fu Zhengtu nodded, "That's right."
Chenchen asked again, " Then, can I fold paper or read comics without affecting the record?" Before
Fu Zhengtu could answer, Chen Chen said again: "Dad, the teacher's lecture is too slow, like a lullaby. If I keep sitting and listening, I might fall asleep."
Fu Zhengtu nodded: "Yes, on the premise that you must write down the teacher's lecture word for word and keep up with the teacher's lecture progress. It can't affect other students and the teacher's lecture, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Chen Chen nodded, "Then Dad, if the teacher makes a mistake, do I need to correct it?"
Fu Zhengtu: "..."
Su Taotao supported him: "The teacher hasn't started the lecture yet, how do you know that the teacher will make a mistake?" Even a genius child can't predict like this!
Chen Chen said, "No, Mom, Pang Pang and Dong Dong's teacher often makes mistakes, but I feel that I am not a student in their class, so I am embarrassed to raise my hand to correct them. I always tell Dong Dong and Pang Pang after class."
Su Tao Tao: "..." Son, didn't you go out to play? When did you go to class? And you corrected the teacher's mistakes? ? ?
Fu Zhengtu said, "Yes, but you have to wait until after class to tell the teacher, otherwise it will disrupt the teacher's teaching rhythm and may prevent all students from finishing class on time."
Chenchen squinted and nodded, "Okay, then Dad, I will study hard in the first week of school."
"Dad, is it because you have no say in this school that you want to force me to study in the classroom?
Don't worry, Dad, I will study hard and won't make things difficult for you!"
Chenchen looked at his father with an expression that said, "Dad, I actually know everything, don't be embarrassed to admit it.
" Fu Zhengtu: "…………"
Su Taotao and the others laughed.
Fu Zhengtu pulled the child's hat and said, "Well, Daddy really can't say anything, and Daddy wants to exercise his ability to be disciplined.
Being able to sit in the classroom for 45 minutes with full concentration is also a kind of ability, and Ah Hang does it very well."
Fu Yuanhang blushed when he was named: "..."
In fact, he often slacked off and secretly drew, but I don't know why he gave everyone the impression of being a good student.
...
