Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Ever since He Yuzhu handed the pickled fish to his third senior brother, the black fish around Sijiu City have been in bad luck.

The Sijiucheng Hotel has it and it has caused quite a stir, so other restaurants will definitely follow suit.

This is normal. First, calculate the cost. Even if the black carp is 8.1 cents per pound more expensive than other carps, a black carp weighing three or four pounds will only cost a little over two yuan at most.

The key is that sauerkraut is cheap.

This thing looks greasy and spicy and goes well with rice. Put some bread on it to absorb the broth, and a bowl of sauerkraut fish is enough to go with the rice and wine.

Whether in terms of economy or taste, this is a cost-effective dish.

It is impossible for other small restaurants to follow the same rules as Third Brother.

The key is that the people who make decisions now are not the chefs, but the managers of each restaurant.

Cooks have to follow the rules, but managers don't care about that.

They only talk about what the customers want and they must have it. Nowadays, people who can eat in a restaurant are also people with face.

Therefore, this dish is not just a small hit in the city of Beijing, but a big hit.

According to some gourmets, pickled fish with Erguotou can replenish qi and strengthen yang, which is quite lovely.

I heard from my third senior brother that he had cooked this dish for some bigwigs in the palace and left the recipe there.

Anyway, all the black fish from the cities surrounding Sijiu City are sent to Sijiu City.

So He Yuzhu thought of treating his colleagues in the department to a meal and ordering this would not be considered as treating them unfairly.

As for some people not being able to eat spicy food, that is none of He Yuzhu’s business.

What's more, the young man just now had a lip full of wrinkles. If he eats pickled fish, he will probably have sexy thick lips tomorrow.

He Yuzhu spent money and had fun, which can be considered as He Yuzhu's way of finding joy in suffering.

At the Sijiucheng Restaurant, Xu Damao waited in line for a long time before he led his family into the Sichuan cuisine section.

There's nothing you can do about it. People always seem to like the crowd.

When you hear that something is hot on the market, everyone will rush to buy it.

Just like the excitement in previous years, prices will rise after the reform and opening up.

Some people buy soy sauce in jars.

Moreover, people in Sijiu City are more arrogant than people from other places.

Even though the food at Sijiucheng Restaurant tastes the same as that at other places, just because this restaurant was the first to introduce it, people in Sijiucheng regard it as the authentic one.

Xu Damao has a reason to treat us today.

One is that his son is in very good health. Since the last time he was infected with parasites, Xu Shengli has not only treated the disease but also lost more than ten pounds of fat.

It immediately made the young man look good.

Another thing is that Xu Damao’s business in the toy factory has achieved initial success.

A projection team was formed and an internal projection room was set up, and Xu Damao became the second-in-command there, both in terms of technology and connections.

The leaders of the toy factory have already talked him into it, asking him to endure more hardships this winter and make more trips to the surrounding communes that have cooperative relations with the toy factory.

By the year after next, the factory will write him a report to commend him for his achievements.

This is very clear, which means that Xu Damao has hope of becoming an assistant section chief.

As for why it is the year after next, not next year.

This is also a matter of human feelings.
Xu Damao was transferred from the steel rolling mill.

After working in the steel mill for several years, I couldn't get promoted.

In the end, after only one year at the toy factory, the level problem was solved? That would be a slap in the face of the leaders of the steel mill. For people who work in the same workplace, this rule should still be followed.

Furthermore, this can also be considered as setting a bait, but it is not aimed at Xu Damao, but at He Yuzhu.

Within two years, those who came from the light industry were able to completely manage the toy factory.

I promised Xu Damao this in advance because I wanted to tell He Yuzhu through Xu Damao.

The meaning was very clear. The leaders of the light industry expressed due respect to He Yuzhu, so if anything happened at the toy factory, He Yuzhu should stand with them.

This shows how much people value He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao himself knew that if it weren't for He Yuzhu, the light industry would not attach so much importance to him.

Two days ago, after getting the promise from his leader, Xu Damao visited He Yuzhu.

But there was no one there. According to Liu Ting, during this period, He Yuzhu went out early and came back late, often until eight or nine in the evening.

The relationship between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu doesn’t matter in just one or two days.

Xu Damao led his wife, children, parents, sister and family to a large table, pointed at the people queuing outside the door, and said to everyone with a smile: "See? I said that the place I chose today must be correct.

If it wasn't delicious, why would these people line up so long here?"

"Isn't it just a fish? You act as if everyone has eaten it before?" Jiuer looked down on Xu Damao's smug look and couldn't help but retort.

"What do you know? When the fish comes up, you'll know how good it is with wine or rice.

The fish meat is tender, chewy and refreshing, and the taste of sauerkraut makes you drool before you even put it in your mouth.

..." Xu Damao boasted to Jiuer about what he had heard.

"You talk as if you've eaten it." Jiuer fought back.

"Hey, I've never eaten it before, so I thought of bringing you guys over to try it together.

The MCA at the steel rolling mill knows how to make it and has made it several times. My old colleagues have tasted it and all said it is delicious.

It seems that the chef here is Uncle Ma Hua, and he is a fellow apprentice of He Yuzhu.
You say, how bad can it be?" Xu Damao boasted again.

"Ah? Director He's senior brother? That must be the best.

The people around Director He are fine." When Jiuer heard that it was related to He Yuzhu, she immediately changed her tone.

But when he said the last sentence, he rolled his eyes at Xu Damao with disdain.

Xu Damao immediately understood what Jiuer meant. He did not feel ashamed, but smiled proudly and said, "I am also with Director He, hehe..."

"Emperor Qianlong has Heshen by his side, why are you so proud?" Jiuer said this to the point of death.

There is no way to keep this daughter-in-law. Xu Damao has been lumped into the same category as a treacherous minister.

This is different from the perception of later generations.

Nowadays, most people's knowledge about ancient people comes from opera and storytelling.

They are all a bit stereotyped. For example, emperors are mostly good people, while people like Heshen are treacherous ministers who bring disaster to the country and the people.

"Uncle He's cooking is delicious. He Yuan said that the braised pork her father made melts in the mouth, is fatty but not greasy, and is so delicious." Xu Shengli summed it up in one sentence.

"The one cooking here is your uncle He's senior brother. He is considered the leader of their generation and his dishes are even more delicious. You can eat more later, my great grandson.

Look how thin you are. You can’t lose weight anymore.

We want to be healthy, but we also want to gain weight." Xu Fugui added.

There is nothing we can do about it. Old people of this age are afraid that their grandchildren will not grow fat. (End of this chapter)
