The world of film and television begins from childhood

At this time, He Yuzhu was still the same as before, with no taste at all, and even the dishes he brought home were increasing in number and getting better and better.

As a result, Yan Jiecheng became more and more dissatisfied. He Yuzhu only worked a few hours a day, and he went to the kitchen more than once, and every time he saw He Yuzhu sitting there like a big boss, directing others to work.

He felt that he was not the boss, but He Yuzhu was more like the boss, which of course made him feel unbalanced.

But no matter how much they thought about it or how dissatisfied they were, they had not thought of turning against He Yuzhu for the time being, because no matter how stupid they were, they could see the situation clearly. He Yuzhu played a crucial role in the hotel's booming business.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, only the last table of guests were still drinking. The waiters in the restaurant had all left. Only the three aunts who were in charge of cleaning the kitchen, and Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were left.

Yu Li was checking the accounts carefully, Yan Jiecheng was walking back and forth to see if the customers needed anything, and the three aunts were cleaning the kitchen.

After cleaning, the third aunt walked to the cashier and said to her son and daughter-in-law, "Jiecheng, I want to discuss something with you."

Yu Li didn't even raise her head and continued to calculate on her calculator. Yan Jiecheng said casually, "What's the matter? Tell me."

The third aunt said cautiously, "Jiecheng, I see that Shazhu always brings back a lot of food every day when he goes home. Can I also bring back some food? As you know, I'm working here with you, and your dad is alone at home. He doesn't know how to cook, so it would be convenient for me to bring him some food."

Yu Li, who was calculating the accounts, suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked up. Yan Jiecheng was even more surprised.

"Mom, are you kidding? This is a regular restaurant. Have you ever seen anyone take food home casually? Yu Li and I are the bosses after all, but do you see us taking food home? At most, we only eat a bite here and never take it away. This is the rule, Mom, we can't break the rule."

The third aunt asked anxiously, "But how can he take Sha Zhu with him? Are your father and I worse than Sha Zhu?"

Yan Jiecheng explained: "Sha Zhu is different. He is in charge of the kitchen. You know how much effort we put in to invite Sha Zhu. There are so many people in our restaurant, but he is the only one who is special. No one else can do that."

"I'm your mother, and I'm bringing it back for your father to eat. What's wrong with that?"

"No means no. Parents are parents and business is business. They should be treated separately and should not be mixed up."

Yan Jiecheng is truly a "filial" son and firmly disagrees. In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Su Meng, a "all show and no substance" disciple of Zhengyang Sect.

"You, if you are like this, I can't continue to work for you." The third aunt threatened angrily.

But Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li didn't buy it at all. Yu Li even said, "Mom, don't scare us with this. To tell you the truth, we let you work in the hotel because we are actually taking care of you."

Yan Jiecheng followed closely and said, "Yes, Mom, we have given you a lot of money. To be honest, if we used the salary we gave you, we could hire a younger person to do the job. He will definitely be much more efficient than you. If you don't want to do it anymore, we won't force you. We can just find someone else."

Of course, the third aunt didn't want to do it, she just wanted to make a threat, but her son and daughter-in-law didn't buy it at all. She was angry and worried at the same time.

"I didn't say I won't do it. If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it."

Then left.

Yu Li shook her head: "See, your mother is really calculating. Fortunately, you asked your parents to withdraw. Otherwise, how could we be here now?"

Yan Jiecheng agreed very much: "You are right. When doing business, you still can't form a partnership, even if you are father and son."

After a pause, he suddenly frowned: "But what my mother said just now reminded me. Do you think we are too indulgent to Sha Zhu? In fact, I have heard people in the store talk about wanting to take food back more than once."

Yu Li said: "I have heard it too and I rejected it."

Yan Jiecheng pondered and said, "My personal opinion is that Sha Zhu is becoming more and more arrogant. He doesn't take us seriously at all. He seems to think that the success of our restaurant is all his credit."

"We have to admit that this is indeed the work of Sha Zhu." Yu Li could see it clearly.

"But you're right. Sha Zhu is increasingly looking down on us, as if the restaurant won't work without him. Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. We made the promise in the first place. It's useless to regret it now."

"That's not necessarily true." Yan Jiecheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yu Li looked at him strangely: "What do you want to say?"

Yan Jiecheng leaned against the cashier counter, facing Yu Li, and whispered, "I've been to the kitchen many times, and I've found that when cooking, most of the time it's Banggeng who does it, and Shazhu just watches from the side. Banggeng and Shazhu have been learning the craft for many years, right? Although they are not biological father and son, Shazhu doesn't have a son either, so the craft must have been passed on to Banggeng, don't you think?"

Yu Li's eyes lit up: "You mean, Banggeng?"

As expected of a couple of years, they not only have a deep affection for each other, but also have a tacit understanding of each other. He quickly guessed what Yan Jiecheng was thinking.

Yan Jiecheng nodded and said, "That's right. Although Bang Geng is also a scoundrel, he is definitely much easier to deal with than Sha Zhu. We can't offend Sha Zhu, but we can let Bang Geng deal with him. With Qin Huairu around, Sha Zhu is definitely no match for Bang Geng."

"Using the stick as a gun is a good idea, but he has a special relationship with Sha Zhu after all. If he disagrees and tells Sha Zhu about it, won't we lose both the wife and the army?" Yu Li looked worried and felt that it was not very reliable.

But Yan Jiecheng smiled contemptuously: "That's because you don't know Banggeng. He's already over 30 years old and still hasn't gotten married. Do you think he's anxious? If he's not anxious, do you think Qin Huairu is anxious? Is Banggeng's grandmother anxious? Which of these three people can Shazhu deal with?"

"Wife, I dare not say anything else, but I am very confident that I can convince Banggeng. This boy, hey, is not a good person."

Yu Li was a little tempted: "Then let's give it a try?"

"Let's give it a try." Yan Jiecheng's eyes gleamed.

Although they said they wanted to give it a try, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li did not immediately clarify the matter to Bang Geng. Instead, they started to make arrangements in an organized manner.

First, when Shazhu wasn't looking, they praised Banggeng's craftsmanship, saying that business had been good recently and that he had made a great contribution, and that they would give him some extra benefits and wages every month.

Although it was just a small favor, Banggeng was not a smart man, and he was quickly fooled by the combination of punches from these two people.

More than a month passed like this, and Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li gave him three hundred yuan in private.

"Bang, it's not that uncle doesn't give you more. You also work in the factory, so you know what your salary is now. Of course, this is not the main thing; the most important thing is that the condition we talked with Sha Zhu was that he bring his apprentices over here. , let him pay the salary, we don't need to control it, so even if you do a good job, we can't send you money, we can only reward you secretly."

Banggeng happily took the three hundred yuan and a look of joy appeared on his face at first, but when he heard what Yan Jiecheng said, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Of course he knew about this. In fact, after Sha Zhu received his salary, he would give him money every month, and it was not a small amount, about 500 yuan.

But sometimes there is no harm without comparison. The total salary is 2,500 yuan, Sha Zhu gets 2,000 yuan and he gets 500 yuan. He does much more work than Sha Zhu, so it is impossible to say that he has no thoughts in his mind.

It's just that on the one hand, he and Sha Zhu did learn some skills, and on the other hand, his mother Qin Huairu was there to keep them in check and connect their relationship, so there were no conflicts.

But Yan Jiecheng's words made him feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Yu Li added another stab and asked, "Bang Geng, how much does Sha Zhu pay you every month? I think you work more like a chef than he does."

Bang Geng just smiled and replied: "My silly dad and I are a family, and we don't care about these things."

Yan Jiecheng nodded seriously: "Yes, you haven't married yet, so there's really no need to worry about these things. It's fine to give the money to Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu."

Such a simple sentence made Banggeng's expression gloomy in an instant.

Yes, he is already in his thirties and still hasn't gotten married. This is a shame for him.

He has gone on many blind dates over the years and dated several women, but nothing worked out in the end.

People either despised him because he was poor, or because he was just a small canteen cook. Some people also despised him because he was ugly, smelled of cooking oil, and so on.

In fact, he has changed a lot since he became a chef. He used to be thin, but now he has become a fat man. He is always by the boiler and looks older than his peers.

So even though he didn't say anything these years, he still complained in his heart. If his family hadn't been incompetent and couldn't find him a good job, would he have gone to work as a chef with Sha Zhu? And as for the fact that he still hadn't achieved anything until now, and couldn't even get a wife?

Especially with the precedent of Sha Zhu, will he have to be like Sha Zhu in the future, marry a widow, become someone else's son-in-law, and raise someone else's children?

No, he absolutely cannot accept such a life, he absolutely does not want to do it

Chapter 922 Shazhu and Banggeng start fighting

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, a couple, took turns to give Banggeng a "lesson", once, twice, three times...

Although they didn't say bad things about Sha Zhu openly, nor did they sow discord between Bang Geng and Sha Zhu, they kept talking about money and getting married and starting a family, which actually caused great stimulation to Bang Geng.

Especially, Banggeng didn't want to be the second generation of Shazhu, so he, who already had some opinions about Shazhu, increasingly felt that it was Shazhu who had delayed him, so the more he looked at Shazhu, the more he disliked him, and the more resentful he felt in his heart.

Seeing that the time was right, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li prepared to confront Banggeng.

But before that, they decided to give He Yuzhu a warning first. If He Yuzhu was sensible, they wouldn't mind letting He Yuzhu continue.

That evening, after a busy night, He Yuzhu picked up several packed boxes and prepared to leave the restaurant.

When he was about to walk out of the kitchen with his lunch box, he was stopped by Yan Jiecheng.

"Silly Zhu, wait."

He Yuzhu stopped and asked, "Why, do you want to have a drink with me?"

"No, it's already this late, what are you drinking? I want to ask you something. I see you have six or seven lunch boxes. Isn't that too much?"

Yan Jiecheng's face didn't look good. He felt that Sha Zhu was really taking things too far. When he first came, he only brought back one or two dishes every day, but now, he brought back a full plastic bag and six or seven lunch boxes. Moreover, he could see clearly that most of them were meat dishes.

The dishes mentioned by Shazhu are said to be leftovers, but in fact they are not leftovers at all, because they were not served at all. They were left over before being served.

If these dishes were sold to customers, they would fetch at least dozens of dollars. But they were taken away by Sha Zhu. How could he not feel bad?

What’s even more distressing is that Sha Zhu does this every day, so in a month, he loses at least several hundred dollars, which is all his family’s money.

He Yuzhu said indifferently: "Yan Jiecheng, what you said is not right. This is what we agreed at the beginning. I come here to work for you, and you bring me some leftovers. It has been like this for several months. What do you want to say today?"

Yan Jiecheng said: "You only brought two or three dishes before, which was not much, but now, look at you, how much have you brought? I didn't say anything before because I thought you should know the answer, but now you are going too far, so I have to say it."

He Yuzhu said with disdain: "Look at you, you are such a loser. The restaurant business is so prosperous now, and you got anxious when I brought some food. Can't you be more generous as a boss?"

Then he looked at Yu Li: "Yu Li, do you think I brought too many dishes?"

Yu Li was more tactful: "Silly Zhu, it's not us who have an opinion, it's other people in the restaurant who have an opinion. It's fine if you only bring a little, but you see that you bring so many dishes home every day, and everyone else has an opinion. Can’t take it, can everyone have any opinions?”

"Haha, I think it's not just the other people who have objections, but you two. Well, what do you think? Just say it out loud, don't hide it."

He Yuzhu was also a shrewd man. How could he not see that Yan Jiecheng and his wife were taking the opportunity to make a big fuss and were specifically targeting him.

Yan Jiecheng was not embarrassed by being exposed, and said righteously: "I think the best way is that you should not bring food back in the future. If you really want to eat, you can eat and drink in the restaurant."

He Yuzhu smiled contemptuously and asked Li: "Do you mean the same thing?"

Yu Li nodded and said, "Every hotel has its own rules. We can't keep breaking the rules. If we continue like this, people will lose their confidence."

He Yuzhu's eyes were gloomy: "What if I don't agree?"

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li looked at each other, and finally Yu Li spoke up: "If you insist on bringing food, your salary will be reduced by 500 yuan per month in the future."

"impossible."

He Yuzhu flatly refused.

Yan Jiecheng said: "Shazhu, we have taken good care of you. You should know that the chefs hired by restaurants and hotels around here are not more than one thousand yuan. You have to take some dishes back with you for two thousand five hundred yuan. It's really..."

He Yuzhu interrupted Yan Jiecheng directly: "Stop, stop, do you mean to let me go?"

Yan Jiecheng said: "If you agree with our suggestion just now, then you don't have to leave."

But He Yuzhu is not the kind of person who would swallow his anger.

"Forget it then. I'm leaving. Yan Jiecheng, you're really capable now. You've learned all of Third Master's calculating skills. That's amazing, amazing."

The mocking tone did not make Yan Jiecheng feel embarrassed, but Yu Li took out the prepared salary.

"Silly Zhu, since you don't work for us anymore, we are not the kind of people who would mistreat you. Here is your salary for this month."

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu was amused: "It seems that you have a plan in advance. Well, let's do it this way, Banggeng, let's go."

As he said that, he began to take off his clothes with the sleeves, but when he took off the sleeves and took off his clothes, he found that the stick was still in front of the stove, motionless.

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Bang Geng, are you going to leave?"

Bang Geng turned his head and said calmly, "Silly dad, I won't leave. You don't want to make this money, but I do."

He Yuzhu only felt a rush of blood rushing to his heart. If other apprentices said that, he would be angry, but he would never lose his composure.

But Banggeng is different. Banggeng is his "son" and he passed all his skills to Banggeng. But Banggeng actually joined forces with outsiders to rebel against him.

"Bang Geng, can you say it again? Can you say it again?"

Sha Zhu, who was in a bad mood, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Bang Geng. As long as Bang Geng's answer was wrong, he would take action immediately.

But he overestimated his own deterrent power and underestimated Banggeng's ruthlessness.

"Silly dad, you are you and I am me. I am already over 30 and still not married. I want to make money to get married. I will not go with you."

He Yuzhu was so angry that he was shaking. "Bang Geng, are you crazy? I know you want to make money, but Yan Jiecheng and his people can even drive me away. How long do you think you can work for him?"

"Silly Zhu, please don't frame us. You are going too far. It's not our fault. We..."

Yan Jiecheng wanted to make a few more remarks, but He Yuzhu suddenly turned around and shouted, "Shut the fuck up! If you dare to say one more word, I'll beat you up."

Although He Yuzhu is old, his decades of intimidation in the courtyard is still there. After being scolded, Yan Jiecheng dared not say a word, for fear that He Yuzhu would really hit him.

He Yuzhu once again asked Banggeng: "Banggeng, I'm going to ask you one last time, will you follow me?"

"No." Banggeng's answer was also straightforward.

He Yuzhu raised his right hand, but facing the stick handle with the same fierce look in his eyes, he finally did not put it down.

"Okay, good one, it seems that I underestimated you. You teamed up with outsiders to plot against me, you. Okay, that's great."

"You are not my father. My father died a long time ago."

If He Yuzhu was just angry just now, he felt chilled to the bone as soon as Banggeng said this. His body shook a few times and he had to hold on to the stove next to him to stand steadily.

"You're right, I'm not your father, I'm not your father, and I don't have a son like you..."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, pushed Yan Jiecheng away and said, "Get out of the way." Then he left the restaurant.
