Chapter 108 Support
Then, of course, Wang Furong gave some teachings, which were similar to what He Yuzhu did when he started his apprenticeship, and the third senior brother also kowtowed several times excitedly.

Everything looks so harmonious.

There are naturally more follow-up things. Unlike He Yuzhu, the third senior brother is already the official chef of Emei Tavern.

However, He Yuzhu estimated that Wang Furong had already made the call.

As expected, Yushui didn't eat anything for lunch today. She was filled with all kinds of snacks that her master's wife stuffed into her mouth.

According to Yu Shui's explanation after she returned home, she didn't want it, but Miss Wang kept stuffing it into her mouth.

This reason is very strong.

It's not that she didn't touch the food with her chopsticks. At least she took a piece of the pork elbow made by her third senior brother, and then looked at He Yuzhu with a strange expression.

He Yuzhu made a gesture to Yu Shui to shut up, and the little girl was well-behaved and covered her mouth with her hand.

Everyone thought this interaction between the brother and sister was fun, and they all joined in teasing the fat girl.

What they didn't know was that on New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu also made Dongpo pork elbow. Yu Shui felt that the one made by her third brother was not as good in color as the one made by her brother.

After taking a bite, I found it wasn't as delicious as the one made by He Yuzhu.

The little girl didn’t understand things that were too complicated, but this was just like an exam. According to Yu Shui’s understanding, her brother could have scored five points (Note ①), but he only got four points. This was a very strange thing.

But since her brother didn't let her speak, she chose to keep silent.

Wang Furong was still very concerned about He Yuzhu and asked about He Yuzhu's work and life during this period.

I specifically asked several neighbors in the yard who had bullied the He family whether they had done anything naughty during this period.
This is just another act.

He Yuzhu came here quite often last year. Among other things, Wang Furong and his wife had already asked about him once when they were delivering New Year's goods before the New Year.

So why do I ask again today?

Naturally, he asked this to his independent disciples.

Not all of Wang Furong's disciples stayed in Emei Tavern; some went out to work as chefs in other restaurants.

Several of them have become independent figures.

No matter what your status is, at least you know a lot of people.

Not everyone cares about He Yuzhu as much as the third senior brother.

It was impossible for He Yuzhu to go to the homes of his senior brothers to complain and seek help.

Wang Furong said: "Don't be afraid, Zhuzi, those people will dare to cause trouble to you in the future.

Just come here and tell the master.

Even if the master is not capable, you still have so many senior brothers here. As Wang Furong's apprentice, my skills may be a little worse, but my character must be good. ..."

After this was said, fellow disciples could only express their opinions one after another. Some said they knew so-and-so in Nanluoguxiang, which was quite prestigious in that area.

Some also said that so-and-so from the police station over there was their neighbor.

……

Finally, it was the third senior brother who mentioned that the place for the reunion of fellow disciples this year should be Courtyard No. 95, and everyone should bring their things there.

This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

As for the so-called gathering, He Yuzhu was not qualified to attend before, but he had heard of it.

These are their fellow apprentices, as well as the apprentices taught by the master chef who has a good relationship with Wang Furong. After they become apprentices, they exchange chef skills once a year.

Everyone has to cook a dish that is their specialty.

We chose He Yuzhu's house today. He Yuzhu doesn't need to prepare anything except tea.

The meaning was very clear, that is, everyone should go there together to support He Yuzhu. Not to mention their respective relationships, just with so many strong men standing at the door of the He family, no one in the yard would dare to bully him intentionally in the future.

He Yuzhu was really touched. He knew that this matter must have been discussed by the master and the third senior brother. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence to talk about this on this occasion.

He Yuzhu stood up, holding the wine glass in both hands, and toasted his master with three glasses, which was one big and three small.

Then he refilled his glass, bowed to all the brothers, thanked them, and drank it all in one gulp.

Everything is in the cup.

He Yuzhu's house is really not suitable for gatherings. Generally, people who want to exchange cooking skills would choose a separate and quiet small courtyard.

The He family yard is a large compound with people coming and going.

However, everyone knew what was going on this time, and this time they were not going there to exchange cooking skills.

It was the third senior brother who made the decision for He Yuzhu and on the eighth day of the New Year, the bed was prepared for him to be welcomed.

The success of many people may be accidental, but the success of the third brother is definitely not.

He Yuzhu has learned a lot from his enthusiasm, attentiveness and magnanimity.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is usually the time for men in the city to visit their peers.

People like those in the courtyard have been seeing this Western scene since early morning.

There were more than a dozen bicycles, all of which were owned by people dressed in luxurious clothes. They entered the central courtyard one by one with cold eyes and frowns.

According to Yan Bugui, it was the first time that he saw so many bicycles in a place other than his workplace.

The key point is that the bicycles on the market now are still of the International brand, and the later 28-inch bicycles have not yet been developed.

So the cars all have their own unique shapes, and they are parked side by side in the corner of the courtyard, like an exhibition.

He Yuzhu's senior brothers all have high incomes, so buying a car is naturally not a problem for them.

This thing is much more exciting than the scene at Liu Haizhong's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, three or four apprentices from Liu Haizhong's family came over, and they became the most prestigious people in the courtyard.

Like that day, Yi Zhonghai was standing at the door looking enviously in the direction of Liu Haizhong's house.

Today, the Yi family's door was tightly shut, and the Yi couple were so scared that they didn't come out for the whole morning, fearing that the people from the He family would take the opportunity to deal with them.

The same is true for the deaf old lady Jia Dongxu. She always stays at home eating and drinking, and dares not go out.

Among the five people in the three families, only Qin Huairu dared to go out.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui also came over to inquire and learned that more than a dozen people were He Yuzhu's senior brothers. Apart from smiling politely, they turned around and couldn't help but be amazed, saying that the He family has a deep foundation.

These two families had a good relationship with He Yuzhu, so the third senior brother took the lead and said a few polite words to the two of them. His meaning was nothing more than saying that their younger junior brother was in the yard and hoped that everyone would take care of him.

Then a few people who really had connections told me about a few acquaintances they knew on the street, all of whom were very influential people in Nanluoguxiang.

Since these brothers can say this, they must have a close relationship.

If these words were heard by the neighbors, they would still be skeptical.

The next thing dispelled everyone's doubts.

Chef Wang is here. Yes, it’s the Chef Wang who had a conflict with the Yi family last time.

Although Chef Wang doesn't have a high status on the street, he is well-known!

Everyone knew him, and everyone was aware of the conflict he had with the Yi family last time, and they all thought that Chef Wang would never come to this courtyard again in his life.

Chef Wang rushed along the way without paying attention to anyone. Instead, he walked to a middle-aged man who was sitting in the yard drinking tea, bowed and said, "Uncle Master, since you are here, why don't you come and sit with me?"

The neighbors who were watching were all shocked.

　At that time, the exam seemed to be based on a five-point system, which may not be correct. If you are interested, you can check it out.
