Chapter 138 Go to Fengze Garden to find Shazhu
Of course, there are still many snakes, insects, rats and ants, all of which are calculating. But the power of Yongchang can only be stopped. He sighed helplessly, and his eyes were full of jealousy.
"I haven't eaten out for many days, and my mouth feels a little dry. Let's go out and have some delicious food to satisfy our hunger."
Hou Jie likes food, which is also a hobby of his.
My daughter-in-law Mu Chunhua was not here today. She went back to Mu's house to clean up. She is very filial and worried about her father. She would go back every few days to check on him and help him with housework and cleaning.
Thinking of Sha Zhuzi, one can't help but think of him, now an apprentice at Fengze Garden. He was just bored and didn't know where to eat.
Today I decided to go to Fengze Garden to see him and see how this silly guy is doing there.
He was still very curious and wondered if there was anything fun to watch to change things up.
As soon as you step into the gate of Fengze Garden, you will be greeted by the strong atmosphere of the market and the familiar bustling sounds. The furnishings in the garden are simple and elegant, with wooden tables and chairs showing the traces of time. The columns surrounding the garden are carved with exquisite patterns, and the lifelike figures and complex patterns show the exquisite skills of the craftsmen.
In the corner of the door, a waiter with sharp eyes and quick hands came up to greet me immediately, smiling and saying, "You are here, please come this way!"
He wiped the tables skillfully, as if every movement was telling the long history and tradition of Fengze Garden.
After ordering, Hou Jie did not rush to leave his seat, but waited patiently. While the waiter took the menu away and confirmed the preparation of the dishes, he politely greeted, "Hello, little brother, is He Yuzhu here?"
The guy was stunned and asked tentatively, "He Daqing's son?"
"Yes, that's him."
The servant asked quietly, "May I ask who you are?"
Hou Jie lied without hesitation. "I am his brother. May I ask if this kid feels at ease here recently?"
When the clerk learned that he was a relative of someone in the store, his attitude became more relaxed and casual. "Zhu Zi, he's a good person, very talented, and hardworking. How about I let him come and talk to you?"
Hou Jie thanked him gratefully. This guy is really nice! He is indeed a guy in the eighth building. He is really good. "Okay, thank you very much. Sorry for the trouble."
When Sha Zhu, who was helping in the kitchen, heard his brother coming to see him, he was confused. He was the only child and didn't have many brothers or sisters. It was really strange that he had brothers one after another.
He didn't explain, but turned around and went to the hall to find Hou Jie.
After Sha Zhu left, several people in the kitchen began to discuss.
"What's going on? Shazhu's relatives are here."
"Yes, he was quite generous. He ordered a table full of dishes. It was very rich. Three or four people couldn't finish it. Judging from his casual attitude, he is not a man who is short of money."
"Huh, that's incredible. I didn't expect Zhuzi to be so well hidden! I have to be nicer to him next time."
“That’s right, that’s right…”
Sha Zhu looked at him with a puzzled look, hesitating for a long time. He had some impression that he was the young man from Hou's family in the backyard. He asked tentatively, "Are you the brother of Hou's family in the backyard?"
Hou Jie nodded and agreed, "Yes, I am older than you. It's not too much for you to call me brother!"
Looking at Shazhu, he is a strong kid with muscular body. He looks silly and cute.
No wonder he was able to suppress the powerful talker Xu Damao for so many years, preventing him from turning over. With this physique, he is far better than Xu Damao.
Hou Jie likes such people. Although Sha Zhu has many shortcomings, he is still a good person. If he had not lacked discipline in his childhood, if someone could attract and educate him well, he would definitely be a good family if he got married and had children. It's a pity that he lived in a den of beasts and was schemed against by others, so he ended up freezing to death under the bridge.
Sha Zhu didn't have any objection, "Okay, Brother Hou."
Hou Jie's hand trembled, and he stopped drinking water. He immediately thought of the Monkey King in Journey to the West. He was an honest child, but that was his fault. He said anything and it was embarrassing. He didn't even know it. Don't you think it was annoying? You can't blame him, he didn't mean it.
cough!cough!cough!
Hou Jie's mouth twitched, and he complained helplessly, "Zhu Zi, call me Chunsheng brother from now on. This is my nickname, and it's more intimate. Don't call me Hou brother, it makes me uncomfortable and makes me feel uncomfortable."
Sha Zhu had a puzzled look on his face, and nodded obediently. "Okay, Chunsheng. Is there anything you need from me today?"
Soon the food was served, and Sha Zhu helped serve the food. He was not as reckless as later generations, and was quite clever.
Hou Jie motioned him to sit down and eat, and chat while eating. Sha Zhu declined, but had no choice but to sit down.
"It's okay. I'm not bored. I know you're an apprentice here, so I came to see you out of curiosity."
Sha Zhu groaned and lowered his head to eat. The meal was very rich, and the food made by the master chef was just right to satisfy his hunger.
Even though his family is a cook, there is no shortage of food. Such a table of food is not common in his family's daily meals.
"Zhu Zi, are you still adapting here?"
Sha Zhu complained helplessly, "It's okay! Just a little tiring, chopping cabbage and radishes all day long, I don't know when it will end."
Hou Jie comforted him, saying that Sha Zhuzi was his personal chef in the future. He couldn't let him go, as this was the key to whether he could eat delicious food in the future. "Well, you are a little tired, but don't slack off! Learning a skill is a lifelong thing. Some people want to come here to learn cooking, but they can't even get in! Don't be ungrateful for what you have."
Sha Zhu grumbled while eating, and Hou Jie laughed. "My dad says this every day, and I woke up. My family is a family of chefs! What else can I learn if not cooking?"
Sha Zhu said, "Brother Chunsheng, what are you doing now?"
"I work as an accountant at Yongchang Grain Store."
"What? So amazing? I heard that only amazing people can be accountants. I can't do that. I don't have the brains. My studies are useless. I can only be a cook."
"Zhu Zi, you think too much. Your brother Chun Sheng is not good at studying! I got in as an apprentice through connections, we are the same."
Sha Zhu was very surprised and looked unconvinced. "Ah! How is that possible? Isn't your father a teacher?"
Hou Jie explained, "It has nothing to do with the fact that my father is a teacher. Whether one is good at studying or not is a matter of personal talent and has nothing to do with what one's parents do."
Sha Zhu was very proud of himself, "Brother Chunsheng, you are not as good as me! At least I inherited my father's talent as a chef."
Hou Jie felt helpless and at a loss for words. He never expected that he would be looked down upon. He paused, trying to keep himself calm, and said in a slightly teasing tone, "Hey, Zhuzi, can you please speak human language? I am sincerely inviting you to enjoy a delicious meal, can you please give me some face?"
When Sha Zhu heard Hou Jie's words, he was stunned for a moment, then he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, revealing his signature simple and honest expression. "It's my fault, it's my fault, I told the truth."
Hou Jie was once again defeated by Sha Zhu's truth and didn't want to talk anymore.
Please stop talking, your "truth" is even more hurtful. You are the reinforcement sent by the monkey to attack me. I came here to watch your fun. I didn't expect it to be the other way around, and you made a fool of yourself.
Hou Jie quickly changed the subject. "Zhu Zi, eat, eat."
Sha Zhu was not polite at all. The two of them ate happily until they were full. After a short rest, Sha Zhu went to work in the kitchen. He was still an apprentice, so he was very careful when working under someone else's hands, for fear of making mistakes.
Hou Jie sat leisurely at the dining table, carefully picking the residue from between his teeth. His movements appeared calm and elegant.
He was not in a hurry to leave, but immersed in this peaceful and pleasant time.
