Chapter 47 The Free Helper

In order to verify her idea, Zhou Huilan made a detour to the lobby to deliver soy milk to the state-run restaurant that evening.

Before it was time to eat, the hall on the first floor was empty, and the lights were not turned on. Only the back of the counter was bright and busy. Zhou Huilan looked through the dining window, but did not find the winter melon ribs soup that the aunt bought. .

She remembered what Lu Jin said before that the lobby on the first floor is a collective cafeteria for employees, and the second floor is an a la carte private kitchen for leaders.

There was no one at the stairs, so she went straight to the second floor.

The second floor was brightly lit, and there was a private room with the door open, and the waiter was still busy inside. Zhou Huilan looked around and walked directly to the small cabinet next to the waiter. There were several menus stacked on it.

But as soon as she picked it up, Lu Jin chased after her out of breath.

"Sister Huilan, you, why are you here?"

"It's okay to be idle, come up and learn a lot."

Lu Jin was panting heavily, but he still held his back and came over, pushed Zhou Huilan aside, and directly pressed the menu on the table, "My master is looking for you, he said he has something to do, come with me quickly! "

Zhou Huilan obediently followed him downstairs.

Although it was just a daze just now, she had already seen the whole recipe clearly. Not only did she see it clearly, but when she recalled it now, every word on it seemed as if she was in front of her eyes.

Winter melon cup, rose trotters, three mushroom soup...

These dishes were not originally called this name, but she and Lu Changqing thought about it together.

Some are the recipes that Lu Changqing thought up, and some are from the recipes of Xu's family that she doesn't quite understand, so she asked Lu Changqing for advice, and tried every word carefully.

But if Niu Guangde changed his name, she wouldn't be able to recognize it so quickly, but there are people who always like to treat others as fools.

Lu Jin ran a bit too fast just now, but now his legs were still trembling when he was walking, Zhou Huilan followed him downstairs, just in time to meet a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who respectfully guided an old man behind him.

Lu Jin lowered his head and leaned against the wall, turned around and stretched out his hand to indicate that Zhou Huilan did the same.

But Zhou Huilan was stunned when she looked at the old man.

It turned out to be the old Ye whom he met at Uncle Huang's house.

Elder Ye also recognized Zhou Huilan, "Oh! This girl, how could I meet you here? You are also here for dinner?"

Although he only met once, the old man is very enthusiastic about Zhou Huilan.

"Old Ye, I'm here to deliver soymilk." Zhou Huilan smiled sweetly, her round face lined with crooked eyebrows, just like the Fuwa in the painting that year.

"Xiao Zhang, if this girl only grinds soy milk, then you, the manager, are negligent and bury talents!"

"Old Ye, what you mentioned is that I will work hard to improve."

Ye Lao didn't speak any more, just nodded to Zhou Huilan with a smile, and went upstairs with Manager Zhang.

Lu Jin didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and Zhou Huilan yelled before he realized, "Sister Huilan, you, you actually know Mr. Ye?!"

Zhou Huilan didn't think it was a big deal, "So he was my regular customer."

"Oh yes, it was Mr. Ye who came to us to lose his temper, and my master made up his mind to buy your soybean milk. Look at my memory..." Lu Jin scratched his head and continued to lead the way.

Niu Guangde is really looking for Zhou Huilan, he wants Zhou Huilan to send more soy milk to the restaurant, "Stone-milled soy milk tastes good, but it's not enough if you are alone, and you are exhausted. I think your aunt is at home anyway. You are idle, ask her to help you, if you work harder, you can earn more, right?"

This is seeing soy milk making money and wanting to get a share of it.

Niu Guangde and his wife stole recipes and came to learn how to grind soy milk under the guise. They really didn't hide their utilitarianism at all, and they completely regarded people as fools.

Although Zhou Huilan was angry, but it was not the time to turn her face, she pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "That's good, but how should the salary be paid to Auntie Da Niu?"

"You don't need to pay, just ask her to help you, and it can be considered as a contribution to the restaurant."

"Then I'll stay here first, thank you, Auntie Niu."

Auntie Da Niu came to Duan's house the next morning. She originally wanted to use a ladder to jump over the wall, but Granny Duan stood in the yard and scolded her. The main entrance entered the small courtyard of Duan's family.

Zhou Huilan moved the stone mill to the stove outside. She used the soymilk grinder in the space to fill up two pots of soybean milk in advance. The mixed beans were placed on the ground. She poured a spoonful of beans and added a spoonful of them. Water, turn the stone mill for a few laps, then add beans and water.

"It doesn't look that difficult!"

Zhou Huilan handed the spoon directly to Auntie Niu, "Why don't you try it?"

Auntie Niu didn't refuse, she took the spoon and added it twice, followed Zhou Huilan's instructions and took the handle of the stone mill, and started to grind it round and round.

But within 10 minutes, Auntie Da Niu threw away the wooden spoon and tried to rest for a while with her back, but she couldn't straighten her back.

"Hey, oh, Huilan, come and help me, my waist..."

Zhou Huilan hurried over, helped Aunt Daniel to sit down.

"You take a break, let me come."

She was very helpless, and wanted to steal her business with just this arm and leg?

I really thought that four or five hundred catties of soy milk was blown out by fairy spirit.

This morning, Auntie Da Niu spent those 10 minutes, and then sat down and didn't get up again.

After grinding the soy milk, Zhou Huilan moved it to the car. She reached out to help, but her strength was too weak, and she almost dropped the pot.

But she came again in the afternoon, but this time she brought a helper. She said it was her daughter-in-law named Song Guifen.

Song Guifen was much better than Auntie Daniu. Zhou Huilan taught her a few times, and when the spoon and stone mill were handed over to her, she really didn't stop and finished grinding over twenty catties of soaked beans.

But later, when Zhou Huilan moved the pot, she could clearly see the shaking of her hands supporting her lower back.

"When are you soaking beans, let Gui Fen come and help you!" Auntie Niu didn't give up.

Zhou Huilan readily agreed.

When Auntie Da Niu came at night, she still brought Song Guifen with her.

Zhou Huilan had already poured the beans into the basin, and she lifted the big stone from an old well sealed in the yard, and bought rope and a wooden bucket when she picked up Yaoyao in the evening.

"Did you soak your beans in well water?"

Zhou Huilan nodded. Both the rope and the wooden barrel were new, but she has some experience in using wooden barrels to fetch water in the space recently. She couldn't see clearly at night. She only brought up half of the barrel of water, and handed the barrel to Song Guifen.

Song Guifen didn't know this, she looked at Auntie Niu as if asking for help.

"Study hard, it's all a skill." The old lady didn't have the slightest intention of taking over.

Drawing water from a well is no more laborious than grinding soybean milk, it is a matter of skill.

Song Guifen threw it down and pulled it up, but the bucket was empty.

After going back and forth like this for more than ten times, the water that was brought up did not even cover the beans.

Auntie Niu scolded impatiently, "I'm so stupid, I can't even fetch water."
