Chapter 734 Damn! Ive wanted to whip you for a long time!
"Yang Maixiang, why are you here?" Wang Lidong stepped forward and took a look at his childhood sweetheart. She has an oval face and two ponytails. She is not particularly beautiful, but if she tidies up well, she can be regarded as a little beauty.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, Yang Maixiang raised her eyebrows and shook her legs and said, "Why, you don't recognize me now that you're married?"
"Whoever I forget, I can't forget you. You are wearing work clothes. Have you just gotten off work or are you preparing to go to work?"
"You have the middle shift today, go to work right away." The girl approached him and said, "I hear people say that your life as a visiting son-in-law is not going well."
"Who did you listen to?" Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and pushed the girl's head ten centimeters away, "Can you please stop being so close? If an acquaintance sees you, how will you marry in the future?"
Yang Maixiang rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "We didn't do anything shameful. It doesn't matter what others say. Don't worry about who I listened to. Is this the case?"
"It's nothing. When did you become so nosy? By the way, why are you looking for me? Isn't it just to ask about this little thing?"
Yang Maixiang squinted at him and said, "It seems that she is really there. She just looks more beautiful. After seeing it for a long time, that's all."
Wang Lidong said speechlessly, "If you don't tell me, I will go in."
"No, there's still business to do." Seeing that he was about to leave, Yang Maixiang immediately grabbed him and said, "I heard that you are now taking on private work after get off work?"
"How did you know?"
"I met your apprentice yesterday, Liu Zi, and he told me." Yang Maixiang said, "My cousin is getting married next Saturday and is inviting us to have a drink. There are three tables in total. Do you have time?"
It turned out that I was introducing business to him... Liuzi probably didn't tell this girl about his appearance fee, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over, "You have already asked, even if I don't have time, I still have to make time for you.
, noon or night? Where is your cousin’s house?”
Yang Maixiang gave her a knowing look, "The banquet will be held at 6:30 in the evening. How much will it cost?"
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "We are all our own people, so why should we ask for money?"
"Who is your friend?" Yang Maixiang glared at him and said happily, "Then I will ask my cousin to give you two more packs of good cigarettes. His home is in the broadcast station staff community, No. 13. Remember it?"
"Okay, remember. Go to work quickly."
After watching Yang Maixiang ride away, he returned to the kitchen. It was lunch time, and everyone in the kitchen was busy. Seeing that the stove was piled with prepared vegetables, Wang Lidong came to his stove and opened fire.
Stir-fry....
They were busy until half past twelve before finishing the dishes ordered by the customers. Liuzi took off his chef hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. In recent days, the business in their canteen has obviously improved a lot. In the past, he was busy at most until ten
At two o'clock, there was no business. Now at twelve thirty, there are still customers queuing up. If the lobby had not stopped ordering at twelve thirty, they would have been busy until after one o'clock.
"Master, has my wife been a lot gentler to you in the past two days?"
Wang Lidong raised his leg and kicked it, "You kid, if you don't fight for three days, you won't be able to grow up or down."
Liu Zi wailed, "Master, a gentleman can talk but not act. I am considered as half a matchmaker between you and my wife. I am not interested in your married life..."
Wang Lidong was too lazy to chat with this two-faced man, so he turned around and went to the attic, found a comfortable place, lay down and took a nap.
When I woke up, it was almost three o'clock.
After going to the toilet and preparing to watch his colleagues playing cards, senior fellow apprentice Yao Guofa walked into the kitchen and pulled him into the office.
First, he lit a cigarette and puffed on it. Director Yao said, "The time for Deputy Director Li's youngest daughter's birthday party has been set, Sunday at 11:30 noon."
Wang Lidong nodded and said that after going to work on Sunday, he would make a cake. "Just write 'Happy Birthday' on the cake?"
Yao Guofa asked in confusion, "Can you write other words?"
"Of course, for example, you can add the name of the birthday person and the words of blessing can also be changed..."
"How many words can you write?"
"Less than 20. If you write too many words, you can't read clearly."
Yao Guofa immediately picked up the phone at hand and dialed Deputy Director Li's number. After a while, he said about writing on the cake, "Yes, yes, yes, okay, Director Li, I'll repeat it..."
..Li Qiaoyun, I wish you a happy 12th birthday and may you become more and more beautiful... As you should... Mr. Li, you are too polite... Okay, okay... Goodbye."
Yao Guofa hung up the phone cheerfully, "Hong Chang, you must make me a beautiful cake for Sunday." He picked up the cigarettes on the table, pulled out one and handed it to his junior brother. Just now on the phone,
Deputy Director Li praised him a few words and said that he was serious and responsible in his work, which was a good sign.
Wang Lidong took the cigarette and put it on, "Brother, if you can get some fruits like strawberries or cherries, the cake can be made more beautiful."
These two fruits are not easy to deal with... Director Yao immediately wrote down in his pen, "I will try my best."
"Hongchang, how much does a cake cost?"
"I'm really not sure about this, I need to do some calculations." He said, taking the pen and paper... 1 catty of low-gluten flour is 0.18 yuan, 1.5 catties of eggs are 1.47 yuan, 1.5 catties of sugar is 1.2 yuan, vegetable oil and a few others
The auxiliary materials add up to almost 1 yuan, and the material cost is 3.85 yuan per piece.
Well...replace white sugar with honey, and the price will be 3 cents cheaper...Yes, natural honey is cheaper than white sugar these days. Natural honey costs 6 cents per pound, but white sugar costs 8 cents per pound.
.
After looking at the cost, Director Yao said, "Then let's order this cake at 4.6 yuan each."
Wang Lidong said, "Brother, we haven't counted the labor yet. A cake costs a master and an apprentice half a day, and the labor is 3 yuan. By the way, this is the price of ten inches."
At present, the prices of vegetables in state-owned restaurants are regulated. The gross profit margin for staple food is 25%, and the gross profit for stir-fry dishes is 30%.
Director Yao made more additions and subtractions, and finally decided that the price of the ten-inch birthday cake would be 8.8 yuan per piece, plus two and a half kilograms of food stamps.
This price is a week's salary for ordinary workers. Ordinary people must be reluctant to eat it, but Yao Guofa has no intention of opening up the supply.
Nowadays, none of the restaurants in Ningguo City can make birthday cakes, which means that their cafeteria is like a scorpion...the only one.
There can definitely be a lot of work done in this area, maybe his future future will fall on this 'birthday cake'.
When Wang Lidong saw that nothing happened, he was about to leave. Yao Guofa's eyes fell on an oil paper bag beside him, and he immediately called to him, "Slow down, Hong Chang."
As he spoke, he opened the oil paper bag, which contained several pieces of cake Wang Lidong had made in the morning. "Hong Chang, how much does this chicken cake cost per pound?"
Wang Lidong made an estimate and said, "It's almost 4 cents per pound. What's wrong?"
"It's so cheap. The chicken cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative cost 1.2/catty, and they don't taste as good as yours."
"I forgot to add the labor cost. It adds up to almost seventy-eight cents per catty."
Yao Guofa asked him to sit down again, "Hong Chang, I am planning to open a take-out window in our canteen recently to sell cooked food and the like. What do you think?"
Wang Lidong glanced at his senior brother and couldn't understand his intention, "Senior brother, I am just a cook. You can make up your mind on this kind of thing."
Yao Guofa pointed at the chicken cake and said, "Originally, I was a little hesitant. It felt too thin for cooked food. Now that I have this, I think I can give it a try."
Wang Lidong suddenly realized, and immediately got vaccinated with Yao Guofa. He didn't have the ability to clone himself, and he was not a model. If he was asked to be responsible for making cakes, he would not care about cooking.
Yao Guo laughed and said, "Let a master like you make cakes, isn't it like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes? You want to do it, but I can't bear to do it."
That’s what I think, what do you think of you choosing someone in the kitchen to be your apprentice and specialize in learning your cake-making skills?”
"This is fine. Senior brother, do you have anyone to choose?"
Yao Guo showed his skill and said, "You decide who your apprentice is. As long as he learns how to make chicken cakes, his salary will be immediately raised to level 8."
.........
Wang Lidong returned to the kitchen and glanced around all the apprentices. There were four young men and two little girls. The one he had the best relationship with was Yanzi. The little girl's conduct was also good... Then she was the one!
Called Yanzi and asked her if she wanted to learn how to bake pastries.
The surprise came so suddenly that Yanzi was a little stunned. Liuzi on the side quickly pushed, and Yanzi immediately came back to his senses and nodded wildly, "Master, I will study seriously."
Wang Lidong nodded, and then announced to his colleagues that he had accepted Yanzi as his apprentice, "Yanzi, congratulations."
"Yanzi, you're in good shape now."
Among the group of people, the happiest person was Liuzi. He cupped Yanzi with his arm and said, "Yanzi, I will be your senior brother from now on. Come on, call me senior brother and listen."
Yan Zi rolled her eyes at him and moved to the side in disgust, "Liu Zi, just talk and don't touch me."
After all, Liuzi didn't ask for it, and went to watch the card game a little frustrated. Wang Lidong took a piece of paper and wrote down the cake ratio and making method in detail, "Go back and learn it by heart."
Yanzi took the formula and said as if he had found a treasure, "Master, don't worry, I promise to memorize it in three days."
"Okay, I'll do a spot check in three days." After saying that, Wang Lidong turned around and went up to the attic, holding today's newspaper to kill time.
.......
"Master, it's almost six o'clock." Liuzi whispered.
Wang Lidong stir-fried the pot a few times and put the crispy pork on a plate. "Are there many customers queuing up outside?"
"Not many, just a dozen guests."
Wang Lidong, Su Hou, and Lao Qin said hello, took off their work clothes, and were about to leave when Liuzi grabbed him and said, "Master, why don't you call Yanzi together?"
He glanced at Yan Zi who was standing aside. The young disciple's eyes were full of expectation. It wouldn't matter if there was one more person, he could save a lot of energy, but now is not a few decades later, when the public security situation is worrying, and it will take eight years to finish the work.
It's nine o'clock. If something happens on the way home, he will be guilty.
He told his new apprentice about his concerns, and Liu Zi hurriedly patted his breasts and said, "Master, isn't it me? After you finish your work, you go first, and I will send the swallow back. Don't worry, I will guarantee that the swallow will be sent back safely."
Home."
That would be even more unreliable. Isn't this just putting the little sheep in the mouth of the wolf? He asked the swallow for his opinion, and the swallow glanced at Liu Zi and said, "Liu Zi and I live very close to each other, so we happened to be passing by."
Since the young apprentice had no objection, Wang Lidong took the two of them out of the unit. There was only one family tonight, but the venue was quite large. There were 7 tables in total. With one more helper, he felt a lot more relaxed.
He doesn't need to do any chores anymore, just cooking.
The three of them worked for more than two hours, and finally finished the work after 8:30. They counted 14 yuan and handed it to the two of them and said, "Liuzi, Yanzi, put it away."
Liu Zi took the money happily, but Yan Zi refused to take it. Wang Lidong stuffed the seven yuan into the girl's hand, "If you don't take it, how can Liu Zi take it? If Liu Zi doesn't take it, how can you take it either? How dare I call you in the future?"
Come out and help..."
Liuzi also helped and said, "Yanzi, take what the master gives you. You did no less work than me today."
"Isn't this too much?"
Sixth Master said proudly, "Our master is the best swordsman in Shaanxi Province, and it's worth the price."
"What's the number one knife in Shaanxi Province? Don't be blind, kid!"
"Master, this is not what I said. It was said by the customers who have eaten your potato shreds."
Yanzi put the money into his pocket without any further excuses and said gratefully, "Thank you, master."
"Well, I'm leaving then. Please be careful on your way back."
"Goodbye, master."
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Lidong returned home, opened the door, and saw He Wenhui sitting on the bedside with a stinky face, sewing clothes, "You have such a pouty mouth that you can hang a bottle of oil on it, who messed with you?"
He Wenhui turned her face and ignored him.
"I didn't offend you today. Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll settle the score with him tomorrow."
He Wenhui turned her head and looked at him and said, "Really? Keep your word."
Why do I feel like I've been tricked?
But after the words were spoken, Wang Lidong still wanted to save face, "What's going on?"
"It's the little yellow cat's family." After He Wenhui returned home from get off work, she went to the little yellow cat's house with her family to ask for an explanation from the parents of the third and fourth brothers. Unexpectedly, the little yellow cat's parents were very arrogant and refused to explain at all. That's right. Not only did she not apologize, she also said a lot of unpleasant things. In addition, the little yellow cat's eldest brother also teased her a few times.
Big yellow cat?
Isn't this the little gangster who took the first blood of the second brother He Wenyuan in the TV series? If it is this guy, it seems to be real.
"Why are you teasing me? Have you started yet?"
He Wenhui shook his head. With so many people present today, the big yellow cat just said a few words about how beautiful the girl is...does she have a boyfriend or something...but the look in her eyes was really disgusting.
"Big yellow cat, I got it."
"Hong Chang, the little yellow cat threatened us today, saying that he would beat Wen Tao every time he saw him. Can you..."
He almost clapped and said, "I'd better spank you once a day." "I'm going to take a shower."
"Hongchang!"
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Ah...then hurry up and wash it."
Wang Lidong spent five minutes taking a quick shower. When he returned to the room, He Wenhui brought up the matter of helping Wen Tao again. He said, "Didn't I tell you before that you don't come to me about the He family's affairs?"
He Wenhui frowned and said, "You just promised me."
"I just said we'll talk about it when we get back. I didn't promise you anything." He said and closed the curtains. If he hadn't said that just now, this little girl would have packed up her bed and left.
.............................
Early the next morning, when it was still bright, He Mumi heard a rustling sound in the lake. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, "Wen Yuan, are you up?"
The second child, He Wenyuan, hummed. His mother asked what time it was, and He Wenyuan replied, "A quarter past six."
He's mother was surprised and said, "It's so early, who knows? Mom will call you at seven o'clock."
He Wenyuan said, "I can't sleep, I'm going to make breakfast." As soon as he finished speaking, the third child He Wentao also got out of bed. The two of them went to the kitchen, cooked the porridge, then came to the door and secretly looked at the new house.
In the direction, the second oldest brother He Wenyuan asked worriedly, "Wen Tao, won't the elder Liu find out?"
Wen Tao said, "How is it possible..."
At this time, the door of the new house was pushed open, and He Wenyuan reminded him, "Big Liu is out."
Wang Lidong closed the door and walked to the bicycle. At this time, there were only a few people in the courtyard. Erqing's mother greeted him enthusiastically when she saw him, "Hong Chang, are you going to work so early?"
"Morning, Erqing, mom. Well, let's go to work."
Erqing's mother walked up to him and said, "Hong Chang, I heard that you have been helping people cook banquets outside recently?"
"Get some pocket money."
"Hong Chang, my Daqing family has found a partner, you know, right?"
"I heard, congratulations, Erqing mother, when can I drink the Daqing wedding wine?"
"It's coming, it's coming. Caihua's parents are very satisfied with our Daqing..." After Erqing's mother praised her future eldest daughter-in-law, she talked about hosting a banquet in a roundabout way. Wang Lidong immediately understood this person's intention. No wonder
So enthusiastic early in the morning, "Are you going to do it in a hotel or at home?"
Erqing's mother said, "I want to do it in a restaurant, but my mother-in-law wants to do it in our yard. The time is scheduled for the fifth of next month. Hong Chang, do you know a good chef?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "What do you think of my craftsmanship? If possible, I will prepare the banquet for your Daqing?"
Erqing's mother hurriedly nodded in agreement and said that she would not lose a penny of her wages. Wang Lidong smiled and waved his hands and said, "How can a neighbor in the same yard accept your money? I will just give you two more packs of wedding candies when the time comes."
"That's so embarrassing," Erqing's mother smiled so hard, "then Hong Chang, we have agreed. There will be three tables in total on the night of the 5th of next month."
"Okay, no problem." Wang Lidong said, "Erqing's mom, if there's nothing else, I'm going to work."
"Go, go. Be careful on the road."
Wang Lidong took out the key and unlocked the car. He patted the seat cushion out of habit. He felt his palm was pricked by something. He looked at the seat cushion and found that there were several needles stuck in the cushion...
Damn, which turtle grandson did this?
I pulled out a few steel needles, pressed the seat cushion, and found that there were still some. I lowered my head and looked at the back of the seat cushion. I saw that more than a dozen springs had been removed, and seven or eight steel needles were pressing against the seat cushion leather. If I didn't find it, just
Sit on it... Even if he has practiced the magical power of Vajra Indestructible Body, but he is only level 2 now, he will definitely not be able to keep the chrysanthemum. If it were his predecessor, he might lose his descendants.
grass!
Too shameful!
No need to ask, 99% of it was done by the three white-eyed wolves of the He family!
"Who did it!
What bastard did this?!
"
"Come out! Who did this? Do you dare to do it or not?!"
"
When Erqing's mother saw a dozen steel needles, her face turned pale with fright, "Who could be so cruel?"
At this time, the third child, He Wentao, walked out of the kitchen, held his neck high and said, "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! I did it!"
Wang Lidong pointed angrily at a dozen steel needles and checked again. He Wentao said with a stern expression, "Old Liu, are you bothered? I told you that I was the one who inserted it."
Damn! I’ve wanted to whip you for a long time!
"Pah! Pah!" Wang Lidong raised his hand and took out five or six large pen pockets, which made He Wentao, the youngest, spin around three times.
