475 Young but with a big heart

Seeing this, Old Man Du half-squinted his eyes and said, "You are so lucky to marry such a person."

Fu Zhengtu is obviously a rare talent among men. He is calm and steady, loves his wife, and has a lively look in his eyes.

Su Taotao smiled and said, "I'm not bad at all. Whoever marries me will have a good life."

Old Man Du did not deny: "That's right, people of the same family are like one another, it's all worth it."

Su Taotao didn't know what Old Man Du said, and she was too lazy to ask.

He Feng is indeed a little hard of hearing, but it does not affect communication. In addition, he is nimble and works very quickly, so this small defect is not noticeable at all.

Su Taotao taught him the dish and pointed out a few key points, and He Feng knew how to make it.

His knife skills in cutting the Thousand-Thread Tofu made Su Taotao wonder if he was a prankster in the past. It was too good!

The first dish of crispy pork came out of the pot. It was salty and light, and melted in the mouth without any greasy smell. The frying skills were really amazing.

The sauce for the braised three fresh dishes was just right, a little bit saucey but not too heavy, and very pleasant to the taste.

Stir-fried bean sprouts are amazing! Su Taotao had eaten this dish at a food stall in her previous life and she never forgot it. This dish mainly relies on the heat and frying skills. Basically, when the heat is right, put it in the wok and stir-fry it quickly for a few seconds. It has to be removed from the wok as soon as it is cooked. If the heat is one minute too high, it is done. If it is one second too late, it is also done. Everything has to be just right.

And He Feng mastered this just right!

This is a food stall-style side dish that Su Taotao had tried to replicate at home but couldn't. Yet He Feng replicated it in just a few moves. How could Su Taotao not be shocked?

You don’t even need to try the braised pork with sour peaches. The thick red sauce covers every piece of meat, and it makes you salivate just by looking at it. It’s hard not to like it!

Looking at the thin radish carvings on the plate, Su Taotao's silence was deafening.

"Mr. Du, where did you find a talented chef like He Feng? Did you know that he is simply a culinary genius?" Su Taotao made no secret of her satisfaction with He Feng.

Master Du snorted: "You are quite knowledgeable. How can someone I personally trained be bad?"

Su Taotao gave Old Man Du a thumbs up.

He Feng was literally born for her hotel.

Whether it is the delicate knife skills, the cooking temperature, or the control of taste, it is impeccable.

Su Taotao has plenty of recipes in her mind, and with He Feng around, she is not afraid of not being able to replicate them. Su Taotao dares to say boldly that even if it is a Manchu-Han banquet, as long as there is a recipe, it will not be difficult for He Feng.

He Feng rubbed his face and shook his head, saying, "You taught me well. Some of these dishes are the first time I cook them, and I don't know if they taste good."

Listen, listen!

First time doing this!

Su Taotao was completely convinced.

"To be honest, Uncle He, it's a bit of a waste of talent for someone like you to stay in my store. You can also be used to host a state banquet."

He Feng's face turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I'll stay with the old man! I'm not going anywhere!"

Su Taotao: “…………”

Could it be that Old Man Du was trying to trick others into behaving like a teacher?

Old Man Du waved his hand and said, "Sit down, that's not what she meant. What do you think about the treatment?" Old Man Du asked Su Taotao.

Su Taotao made a gesture of invitation: "Please open it as you like. 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, apart from the kitchen, he doesn't care about anything else."

Su Taotao nodded: "Of course, don't worry."

Old Man Du: "I'll take care of the accommodation. You can pay him 80 yuan a month, eat in the store, and don't ask for any coupons. Isn't that too much?"

Su Taotao shook her head.

Old Man Du narrowed his eyes and asked, "Eighty years old?"

Su Taotao continued to shake her head: "That's not what I meant. I think I got a great deal for eighty."

Although the current average monthly salary is 30 to 50 yuan, 80 yuan sounds like a lot, but as Old Man Du said, regular state-owned hotels will issue various tickets. A few industrial tickets and cloth tickets will be issued throughout the year. Even if you don't sell them yourself, they are worth a lot of money.

So excluding the coupons, for He Feng's level, a monthly salary of 80 yuan is not too much at all.

I don’t know how much higher the chefs in state-owned hotels make than this.

Su Taotao knocked on the table and said, "Let me put it this way. You may need to look after the restaurant in the early stages. Before the restaurant becomes profitable, I will pay you 80 yuan a month.

When the restaurant becomes profitable, it will not be a fixed salary. I will give you 10% of the gross profit as dividends. If the dividends exceed 80 yuan, I will give it to you according to the dividends. If it does not exceed, I will give you 80 yuan as a minimum. Do you think this is okay?"

What do you mean? He Feng looked at Old Man Du in surprise.

Old Man Du's eyes narrowed into a line: "Do you know what this means?"

Although Old Man Du didn't think Su Taotao could earn 800 yuan a month, she actually dared to mention it, which was worthy of his respect for her.

Su Taotao nodded: "Of course I know, Mr. Du, I bet that within three years, the country will definitely relax individual business, and this small restaurant is a small test before the policy is relaxed.

What I want is not to earn 800 yuan a month, but 8,000 yuan, 80,000 yuan, or even more.

So Uncle Ho and I are not in an employer-employee relationship, but a cooperative one. I prefer a long-term, stable cooperative partner, not a wage earner mentality, coming to work if I am happy today, and not coming tomorrow if I am unhappy. Uncle Ho, do you understand what I mean?"

To put it bluntly, Su Taotao just wants to tie He Feng down.

You know, the chef is the soul of a restaurant. A restaurant that frequently changes its chef will not develop well.

"I underestimated you!" This was not the first time that Old Man Du said this to Su Taotao.

Su Taotao's courage is indeed greater than any woman he has ever met.

You thought she was just opening a small restaurant to make some pocket money, but in fact she had already made plans 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 trustworthy, but she's a nice person. You won't be sorry if you follow her."

Su Taotao: "…………" Is this a compliment? Or is this a compliment? Does being pretty mean you are unreliable?

"Mr. Du, you are judging people by their appearance, aren't you?" Su Taotao said with a smile.

He Feng always follows the lead of Master Du. If he says go east, he will definitely not go west.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Taotao continued, "But we have three rules. When you work for me, all your recipes must be kept confidential and cannot be leaked. Even if the partnership ends in the future, you must get my consent before using my original recipes. You cannot go to my rival's house to compete with me, at least not in this city for one year."

Of course, I hope we can continue to work together and nothing like this will happen. ”

This is a competition clause, which is very common in later generations. Su Taotao doesn't know if it is common here. It sounds like an unfair clause, but she is also worried that someone will poach her with a high salary. If someone really poaches her and uses her recipes to compete with her, she will be really pissed off.

To put it bluntly, it is like being on guard against a gentleman and not letting a villain go. If I change one of the raw materials or seasonings, is it still your recipe?

This matter is simply impossible to explain.

Old Man Du sneered at her again: "He may be young, but he has a lot of ideas. Don't worry, I'm not dead yet, so it's not his turn to challenge you."

He Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."

Old Man Du glared at Su Taotao and said, "When the policy is relaxed, if you don't have money, just come to me. You can do as big as you want."

Su Taotao didn't take it seriously, but she bowed and said, "Then I'd like to thank you first, old man."

"Mom, I'm so hungry. Can I eat now?" The voice came before the child arrived.

"You're back just in time. Dinner will be served soon." Su Taotao replied.

Chenchen ran in with a big 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."

"It's not hard." Chen Chen smiled shyly.

The Fu family members were busy, so they helped to prepare the meal and soon sat cross-legged on the kang to eat.

"Wow, today's food is so delicious. Mom has done a great job!" Chenchen also likes the food cooked by Su Taotao, and today's food tasted even better than usual.

Su Taotao: "Right, but today's dish is not made by me, have you forgotten?"

Chen Chen tasted it carefully again: "Oh, I know, it was made by Uncle He, right? It's delicious!"

Chen Chen gives He Fengshu a thumbs up!

Zhou Linglan and the others also said it was delicious.

"We will be in for 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 in his hand and said, "Welcome Uncle He! I want to eat Uncle He's cooking every day from now on!"

He Feng was flattered: "You're welcome, you're welcome..."

After Fu Zhengtu and He Feng clinked their glasses, they gently touched Su Taotao's glass: "Congratulations."

The couple smiled at each other, and Su Taotao replied, "Congratulations."

…

Since she was relieved to hand over the kitchen to He Feng, Su Taotao simply let him form his own team to avoid having to work with the people she recruited.

He Feng naturally didn't have this idea, nor did he have the courage to do so, so Old Man Du took it without hesitation.

He knew that Su Taotao's original intention was to help the cooking squad soldiers who had just returned from the army, so he also started to pay attention in this direction.

Since Old Man Du took over the matter, Su Taotao stopped caring about it and focused on the decoration work.

There is only one week left before school starts, and Chen Chen has to take an admission test in advance.

Fu Zhengtu also took the opportunity to familiarize the children with the school.

Chen Chen was leaning against the school gate, staring 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 study hard for a while, and after the first exam is over, Dad can apply to the school for flexibilities for you to attend school."

There is no order without rules, and the restrictions in the capital are relatively more than those in small places.

Fu Zhengtu can use various reasons to ask for leave for Chenchen, but Chenchen is also at an age where he needs to learn to be disciplined.

He no longer wanted to keep him trapped in the classroom, but he had to make him understand that there were certain rules and disciplines that students had to abide by.

Chen Chen 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 long. Each class is 45 minutes long, some of which are music, art, or physical education.

Dad hopes that you can record the teacher’s lecture content, and wait until a week has passed and then come back to review what the teacher talked about.

Let's do a one-week experiment. You should attend the entire week without missing a single class. Can you do it?"

Chenchen thought for a moment and asked with his head tilted, "Are they like Dongdong and Pangpang, who study hard every day?"

Fu Zhengtu nodded: "That's right."

Chen Chen asked again: "Then can I fold paper or read comics without affecting the record?"

Before Fu Zhengtu could answer, Chen Chen said, "Dad, the teacher's lecture is too slow, like a lullaby. If I sit and listen all the time, I might fall asleep."

Fu Zhengtu nodded: "Okay, but the prerequisite is that you must write down the teacher's lectures word for word, keep up with the teacher's progress, and not affect other students and the teacher's lectures, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Chen Chen nodded, "Then Dad, if the teacher is wrong, do I need to correct him?"

Fu Zhengtu: “…”

Su Taotao supported her: "The teacher hasn't even started teaching yet, how do you know he'll be wrong?" Even a genius kid can't predict like that!

Chen Chen said, "No, Mom, it's the teachers of Pang Pang and Dong Dong who often make 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 the class is over."

Su Taotao: "..." 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."

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes 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 force me to study in the classroom?

Don't worry, Dad. I will study hard and won't make things difficult for you!"

Little Chen Chen 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 burst out laughing.

Fu Zhengtu pulled the child's hat and said, "Well, Daddy really can't say anything, and Daddy wants to exercise his ability to observe discipline.

Being able to sit in a classroom and concentrate for 45 minutes is a skill, and Emirates did a great job.”

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.
