Chapter 104 A Family of Three

That night, the back kitchen took a total of five orders.

Zhou Huilan was very leisurely, but she also noticed something was wrong while she was leisurely.

After the last menu was finished, she wandered out of the back kitchen in a bored manner. Looking at the empty front hall, she always felt that the hot scene of the opening just seemed to be something from a previous life.

"Look, how many customers have been lost in just a few days."

Zhou Huilan was taken aback for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Zhang Yongqiang, and smiled politely, "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yongqiang waved his hand and handed over an opened bottle of beer, "Master Zhou, although your culinary skills are good, but the skill of leading your apprentices is still far behind..."

Zhou Huilan admitted this point, she took the beer and took a sip, "Master Zhao's craftsmanship is not enough to lose so many customers in just a few days."

Zhang Yongqiang smiled, "Indeed, this matter has little to do with him, it's Niu Guangde."

Niu Guangde stabilized, and sent an invitation letter to each of the old leaders who used to like to eat his stir-fried vegetables, and got some kind of brass-boiled meat in his Niuji restaurant, saying that it was a fashionable way to eat in Beijing. , called hot pot.

"Hot pot?" Zhou Huilan looked at the magnificent hotel lobby, and felt that they couldn't learn this method. After all, Donghua Restaurant had a way in the beginning, and it was not close to the people. "They make hot pot, and we don't have to follow suit. Can keep up."

"That's not the point." Zhang Yongqiang smiled mysteriously, "There is a document from the capital city to select local delicacies. The leaders of our city said that they want to hold some kind of food competition. I'm thinking about it. We can't fall behind, but if you are busy with the food competition, what will the chef do?"

Although the master does not have to do a lot of work, there are some things that cannot be separated from her.

Before Zhou Huilan could speak, Zhang Yongqiang continued: "Why don't you take this opportunity and bring a few apprentices?"

It is the tradition of the chef to be a master with apprentices.

But Zhou Huilan did not follow the master step by step to learn after all, she never thought about taking apprentices.

But this Donghua Restaurant has its own shares after all, and it is understandable to hold Zhang Yongqiang together to make him better, so the next day, she also took the matter of taking apprentices seriously.

When getting off work, Zhou Huilan came out of the restaurant as usual, but saw Lu Changqing holding Yaoyao, standing under the parasol tree at the door, waving happily at her.

"Mom!" Yaoyao ran excitedly and threw herself into Zhou Huilan's arms.

She was a little confused, and she became more and more at a loss when she saw Shang Lu Changqing's doting smile, "You, why are you here?"

After being discharged from the hospital, Lu Changqing saw Yaoyao early and picked him up late, and he regarded Yaoyao as his own business. He would come to pick up Zhou Huilan from get off work at night, but he brought Yaoyao with him. This was the first time today.

"It's not that she is naughty and refuses to sleep. If you don't wake up tomorrow morning, uncle will definitely spank your ass!" Lu Changqing said, and raised his hand as a gesture.

Yaoyao was so frightened that she screamed and hid behind Zhou Huilan, laughing loudly, "I sleep with my mother at night, Uncle Lu can't hit me!"

One big and one small made a fuss about Zhou Huilan as a pillar. The colleagues who came out from behind saw this scene and greeted Zhou Huilan with smiles.

"Master Zhou, this is your lover and child, they really look alike!"

Zhou Huilan was about to answer, but Yaoyao grabbed her arm and almost fell to the ground. When she wanted to deny it again, the colleague who said hello had already left.

Yaoyao and Lu Changqing were still arguing, as if only Zhou Huilan heard the casual words of a colleague just now.

Yaoyao, who was tired from running, suddenly threw herself into Zhou Huilan's arms, "Mom, let's go home!"

Zhou Huilan nodded, and held her daughter's little hand, Lu Changqing directly took the other hand of the child, and with Yaoyao's "take off", the two of them unanimously pushed hard together, holding Yaoyao's little arm to let her The whole person flew up.

Along the way, it was full of children's laughter.

In such a scene, Zhou Huilan could not help but sink into it.

Not only her, but even Yaoyao had never enjoyed such joy, she even couldn't help thinking that in the future, if Yaoyao was really Lu Changqing's daughter, would they be able to live happily ever after like this.

The next morning, after arriving at the hotel, Zhou Huilan seriously considered the matter of bringing her apprentice.

The youngest in the back kitchen is Su Xiaoliang, who is 24 years old and is not yet qualified to cook at the stove.

Next is Zhang Shaokun, 30 years old, but he is already Master Zhao's apprentice.

The rest are all over 35 years old, and Zhou Huilan wants to be their master, not to mention Zhou Huilan herself is awkward, it is impossible for these masters to agree.

There are already many people in the back kitchen, and it is unrealistic to find someone from the outside. Moreover, young people these days are looking for quick money. Back kitchens, which require hard work, are obviously not sought after.

After much deliberation, Zhou Huilan still chose Su Xiaoliang.

I found a chance to mention it tactfully, but unexpectedly, Su Xiaoliang readily agreed.

"At first I was not qualified to be a master, but unexpectedly, I got a big deal instead." Su Xiaoliang was about to kneel and kowtow to Zhou Huilan as he said that.

Zhou Huilan, who was no more than two years older than him, dared to accept such a big gift from him, she hurriedly helped Su Xiaoliang up, turned around and saw Zhang Shaokun.

"Master Zhou is going to accept Xiaoliang as an apprentice?" Zhang Shaokun looked a little lonely.

Zhou Huilan didn't understand what was wrong with him, so she nodded with a smile, "I won't be here in the future, if something happens in the back kitchen."

Zhang Shaokun smiled awkwardly, turned around and left.

However, within two days, Master Zhao and Zhang Yongqiang voluntarily resigned.

He didn't tell anyone about it, Zhou Huilan knew, it was because of Zhang Shaokun, he found Zhou Huilan and said he wanted to learn cooking from her, Zhou Huilan noticed that Master Zhao hadn't come for several days.

Zhang Shaokun was originally a red case, teaching him would definitely be faster than teaching Su Xiaoliang, besides, Zhou Huilan had promised Granny Duan to promote Xu's cuisine, she definitely couldn't do it alone, after a little tangled for two days, she also recognized Zhang Shaokun.

It's just that she has never been with a master and relies on self-study, so it's inevitable that she will be a little confused when she brings up apprentices.

Half a month later, the paternity test came out.

Zhou Huilan struggled in her heart for many days, but when she actually saw the report, she still couldn't control her emotions.

The father-daughter relationship of the sample submitted for inspection may be 99.99%.

As Zhou Zhenhai's daughter, maybe she was doomed to misfortune from birth, but all the misfortunes were magnified after the night when Zhou Zhenhai drugged her insanely.

Lu Changqing said that the night he was at Ning'an Hotel was before New Year's Day.

But she clearly remembered that it was the twelfth lunar month before the new year, whether it was a wrong description or someone between them remembered it wrong.

In front of this paternity test, it doesn't matter anymore.

Zhou Huilan bent down to pick up the appraisal report, and when she got up to go out, her steps were vain, and she accidentally bumped into a person who was walking towards her.

She staggered back two steps and leaned against the wall, but the other party seemed to be more serious than her, bent over the ground and clutched her stomach in pain.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Huilan was about to step forward when she saw the dark red liquid dripping from the girl's legs.

She was taken aback, and went to help the girl while shouting, "Doctor! Doctor help!"
