Chapter 38 Studying in Provincial Capitals(1/2)
"Look, the province has organized a chef training class, and I'm going to send you there. Don't say it again in the future. Senior brother will not miss you if he has something good to do."
Yao Guofa took out a document and handed it to Liu Hongchang with pride.
"Yao Guofa, this is the good thing you said. Why don't you say, give me two more kilograms of rice during the welfare payment this month!" Liu Hongchang said disappointedly after hearing this.
It is indeed a good thing that the company sends people to study and travel at public expense to study and improve themselves.
This is something that ordinary people in this era are eager to do.
But whether he could go to the provincial capital or learn cooking skills, Liu Hongchang had no attraction.
"Hey...I told you, Liu Hongchang, don't be ignorant. I specially reserved such a good opportunity for you. In your mouth, it is worth two kilograms of rice. Is your rice that precious?"
Yao Guofa asked Liu Hongchang to study, not to trick Liu Hongchang.
She definitely wanted to do a good job with Liu Hongchang. When she heard that Liu Hongchang looked down on him, she was obviously a little angry.
"It's not that I'm ignorant, it's that I really can't seize this opportunity. My family is now a big family of old and young. Who will take care of the family when I leave?"
Not to mention Liu Hongchang's eldest daughter. She is already three years old. She can run and jump at the age where she is lively and cheerful and curious about everything. She has not yet been sent to daycare, so she needs someone to take care of her.
This one child can consume most of Wang Cuilan's energy.
Then on Yang Maixiang's side, even if Liu Hongchang wants to enjoy life and spend more time in the world of two, the couple can relax for a while and refuse to have a baby.
However, Yang Maixiang's insistence on having a child as soon as possible did not last long, and their world did not last long. Last year, Yang Maixiang gave birth to a boy, who is now almost one year old.
It is no longer easy for Yang Maixiang to have to work and take care of her children at the same time.
Originally, in the old Liu family, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying could use the labor force for free for things like taking care of the children.
But it was also at the beginning of this year that Wu Xiaoying finally became pregnant. Pregnancy in her thirties is considered an advanced maternal age in this era. The couple had to be more careful themselves and had no spare time to help Liu Hongchang.
Liu Hongchang doesn't do much work at home, and Wang Cuilan basically takes care of the children, while Yang Maixiang takes care of them.
But when Liu Hongchang stayed at home, he could still do the hard work of buying coal, firewood, rice and noodles.
What's more important is that Liu Hongchang is at home, so there is someone to deal with all emergencies.
"Others get married once, but you get married twice. How good is it now? A daughter-in-law has given birth to a child for you. Can you take care of it? Two daughters-in-law are so easy to marry. If they are so good, others won't
They both have two wives."
Yao Guofa's yin and yang look was obviously outright jealous that Liu Hongchang had married two wives, both of whom were of high quality.
"Yao Guofa, please don't say this nonsense. I have been divorced once, and I don't have two wives at the same time. If you say this, you make me feel like a feudal landowner in the past. Marrying one wife is not enough.
Marry and remarry."
Anyway, Liu Hongchang felt that Yao Guofa's words were not pleasant to listen to.
In this situation where ordinary people still have style problems, what Yao Guofa said was like Liu Hongchang committing a crime.
"You are like this. You can't leave home without one wife. You still want to have two wives. How can you leave the house after two wives? Have you really considered that you don't want this opportunity to study?
Is there no shop like this after passing this village?”
After joking for a while, Yao Guofa returned to the topic.
"I won't go, you send them."
"This is a great opportunity for rating, certification, and salary increase. Do you really not want it?" Yao Guofa put on a serious expression and said seriously.
It is the same in state-owned units and even private units. After studying, there are opportunities for promotion and at least a salary increase.
If you can just go out and play alone, people won't rush to go out and study.
People in this era are not that wealthy yet, and every family will only consider entertainment after solving their survival problems.
"I know, I can't leave, I can't go, I can't have it even if I want it."
Liu Hongchang is very comfortable at home, living a comfortable life, and has no thoughts of changing.
"You like cooking so much. For this chef training class, the province invited a master chef from the capital. Are you not interested in the opportunity to learn from the master chef?"
Yao Guofa continued to seduce Liu Hongchang.
Yao Guofa definitely wanted Liu Hongchang to study.
Although Liu Hongchang likes to fish in the second cafeteria, other people in the cafeteria are not much better.
The two of them have a relationship as senior brothers, so they should get closer.
If there is really any need, Liu Hongchang will also show respect to Yao Guo during critical social events. The two have been getting along quite happily in the past three years.
In the past, the province did not organize cooks to study abroad.
This time the province invited master chefs from the capital and organized chefs from various canteens in the province to study. This must have been affected by the reform.
But Liu Hongchang didn't know that the original intention of setting up this chef class was that the leaders liberated their minds and wanted to keep pace with the times.
Or as the effect of the reform becomes more and more obvious, and private restaurants emerge one after another in various places, the canteen's performance is under pressure.
The most likely possibility is a combination of both.
"Are your six disciples going?" Seeing that Liu Hongchang was determined not to go, Yao Guofa continued to ask.
Liuzi studied with Liu Hongchang for another three years, and of course he also developed his skills.
In every aspect, it has surpassed the level of Master Qin and Su Hou.
Now he is considered a member of the Second Canteen and a newly promoted master chef of the Second Canteen.
However, even after Liuzi became the master of the ladle, it was the same as before, and there was no change.
Hanging out with Liu Hongchang all day long.
Although Liuzi didn't quite listen to Yao Guofa's words, he could still be regarded as his nephew.
Compared with others, Yao Guofa is closer to Liu Zi.
No matter what, Liuzi, a newcomer in the cafeteria, is better at commanding than the veteran youtiao who has been in the cafeteria for decades.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why don't you go with the six sons? I am a young and newly married person, so you send them out to study. This is obviously inappropriate."
Liu Hongchang directly made the decision for the six sons and refused.
As the master, Liu Hongchang can still help Liu Zi take charge of this task.
The six sons had not been married for long, and the couple lived in two places. This was obviously inappropriate in one aspect.
If Liu Zi wants to improve his cooking skills, Liu Hongchang's guidance is enough.
Liu Hongchang's craftsmanship, Liu Zi still only learned a little bit, and there was no need to go out to learn skills.
On the other hand, Liu Hongchang remembered that this learning opportunity should originally belong to Su Hou.
The few of them got along quite happily. Su Hou needed this opportunity more, and Liuzi didn't have to fight for it.
For the future six sons, cooking is just a hobby, just like Liu Hongchang.
Su Hou must rely on cooking skills to survive and eat.
Or don’t let your hobbies affect your professional kindness.
"Then only Pai Suhou will go?"
With neither Liu Hongchang nor Liu Zi going, Yao Guofa really had no choice.
Although two new people were hired in the cafeteria, they still haven't finished cutting the mounds in three years.
Trying to run before you learn to walk is obviously unrealistic.
A novice like this can do nothing if he goes out to study.
Compared to Master Qin who just wants to retire, Su Hou is obviously more valuable to Yao Guofa when he goes out to study.
"Okay, let Su Hou go." Liu Hongchang agreed and continued: "It's a pity that Su Hou is gone, and all the work in the cafeteria has to be done by the two of us, master and apprentice."
Because we have to help resettle unemployed young people, there are more and more people in the canteen, but there are no people who are really hardworking and capable of working.
Under such circumstances, it is really unreasonable for state-owned canteens to still want to compete with private restaurants.
In other words, the chefs in state-owned canteens have at least received serious cooking training.
The cooking skills are generally much better than those of chefs in private restaurants, which is why the state-owned canteens, with their advantage in taste, can see their business conditions are okay.
However, as chefs in various state-owned units are laid off one after another, this advantage cannot be maintained for long.
"Then you can go out and study. You don't have to do the work in the cafeteria."
Yao Guofa said angrily.
"What I mean is that the cafeteria is going to lose a master. As the director of the cafeteria, you, Yao Guofa, have to think of a way. You can't catch our master and apprentice and kill him."
With Su Hou gone, it would be appropriate to add another manpower to the cafeteria.
"Then what do you want? There are only a few people in the cafeteria, so feel free to use them. If you think they can work on the stove, let them use the stove. These people in the cafeteria can all obey your command."
When Yao Guofa said this, Liu Hongchang looked directly at Yao Guofa.
"What do you think I mean?" Yao Guofa felt guilty when Liu Hongchang saw him, and became furious.
"Don't you have to obey my command? You, Yao Guofa, are the only one in our second cafeteria. You can still cook a few dishes on the stove."
