"He Yuzhu, how much salt did you put in this dish again? This is the how many-th time this month? At first, I could explain it once, but I think you're doing it on purpose!"

"Is this the skill you told me you had as a cook for decades? Is this food for humans? How much salt did you put in it yourself?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me. Take your salary for this month and get out! Our small restaurant can't accommodate a big chef like you. If you drive away a few more customers, we won't be able to run this shop anymore!"

While Sha Zhu was still stunned, the boss outside the room brought a dish, lifted the curtain to the kitchen, and started scolding Sha Zhu angrily.

Sha Zhu's cooking skills had long since lost their accuracy, and coupled with the old injury on his hand, he wasn't careful about the amount of salt he added!

This was already the 6th time this month that Sha Zhu had made customers turn against him!

At first, the boss thought Sha Zhu wasn't familiar with the spatula here, so he didn't care, but now it was the 6th time, and he didn't know how many tables of regular customers had left!

"Isn't it just adding more salt? In the past, we didn't even want to add salt. Are their mouths so picky? When I was the head chef at the rolling mill, no one ever said anything!"

"I'm not serving anymore. Settle my money, and I'm leaving now!"

Sha Zhu's attitude was even more arrogant. He couldn't stand this place either!

The individual economy is so prevalent in this era, but there is a price to pay, and the price is that private bosses squeeze labor costs!

If you don't do business and work for others, the money you earn is honestly not as much as in the factory!

If Sha Zhu's skills were still there, he could still make money, but now, since he couldn't even get the amount of salt right, he was honestly just being exploited.

"Get out, get out, get out! Take your money and get out quickly. I was truly blind to pick someone like you to be a chef!"

The boss settled the money for Sha Zhu very impatiently.

To be honest, Sha Zhu really didn't want to work here anymore. The salary was too low. 20 yuan a month was a price he hadn't even had when he was a kitchen helper at the rolling mill before.

Money is becoming less and less valuable now. 20 yuan is really not enough for a person to live on!

And Sha Zhu had also inquired about the news of several restaurants nearby, intending to find one with a higher salary.

What Sha Zhu didn't expect was that among the several good hotels he found, three of them were managed by his good sister, He Yushui.

Chen Tian has been constantly expanding his industries over the years, and naturally, he needs manpower!

And Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, He Yushui, Yu Li, and Yu Haitang naturally became Chen Tian's good helpers!

And He Yushui followed He Great Qing and Sha Zhu since she was a child, and her talent in cooking was not low, so Chen Tian handed over the business of many restaurants to He Yushui to manage.

And He Yushui did not live up to Chen Tian's expectations. Over the years, she not only made the original restaurants prosperous but also opened two or three branches!

In this way, Sha Zhu, who left his original small restaurant job in anger, actually ran into He Yushui's hotel in a daze!

He Yushui's temperament was completely different from 10 years ago. Not only was there no aging in her appearance, but there was even a touch of mature temperament.

Exquisite makeup, a dignified and slim work uniform, she was completely different from the He Yushui of 10 years ago!

He Yushui hadn't specifically looked for news about Sha Zhu over the years. It was because Sha Zhu hadn't dared to show his face after running away from the mental hospital.

After all, this was running away from the mental hospital. If someone were to settle accounts now and catch him back, wouldn't that be his life!

Sha Zhu had changed many jobs over the years, first moving bricks and doing manual labor in Sijiu City, and later helping out in the countryside doing farm work.

Sha Zhu, who was running around in this era, barely survived until the economy got better, and then he dared to come to Sijiu City to find a chef job!

Sha Zhu thought it was like before, thinking that he could find a high-paying job by relying on his skills of making big-pot meals in the factory canteen.

However, people's lives are gradually getting better, and their mouths are getting picky. The big-pot dishes in the factory canteen really can't satisfy people's appetites!

Sha Zhu came to the restaurant under He Yushui, but he didn't want to take off his mask, and he didn't even want to provide his identification.

The reason why he was able to work in that small restaurant smoothly before was entirely because the price was low, and the restaurant boss didn't care at all.

But the scale of He Yushui's restaurant now is not ordinary. Just this restaurant is 4 stories high.

How could these orderly staff let someone who didn't dare to provide his name and didn't even show his face come in for an interview.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why won't you let me in? I told you, I was the head chef at the rolling mill!"

"Why won't you even let me in the front door? I'm here for an interview. I'm here to be the head chef!"

Sha Zhu had already asked about one shop, and the salary and treatment honestly didn't meet his expectations.

The price posted at the door of the shop in front of him really moved him. A salary of 80 yuan a month was more than twice what he had before!

"This comrade, we didn't say we wouldn't let you in. We just want you to take off your mask and look at your identification so we can take you to the kitchen for an interview!"

The two waiters at the door were in a difficult position, but their attitude was still very standard and polite.

After all, with Chen Tian's business philosophy and management system, the service of these restaurants is the best in Sijiu City!

And as soon as Sha Zhu heard that these people wanted to see his identification, he became even more afraid. After all, he was a runaway from the mental hospital, and he really didn't dare to expose his name.

Sha Zhu's commotion was getting bigger and bigger, and the people on the street gathered around!

"Hey, I said what era is this? You came here for an interview, didn't bring any identification, and didn't even dare to show your face. You'd better not be a fugitive!"

"That's right, a clear conscience is the best defense. Wearing a mask in broad daylight and not daring to see people, maybe there's something going on. Let's see if we should call the police!"

But Sha Zhu's appearance was too weird. The onlookers actually thought this Sha Zhu was a beggar!

Seeing that everyone was about to call the police, Sha Zhu became anxious. If they took him to the police station, and the people at the police station checked his file, he would be in trouble!

"Don't call the police. I'm not a fugitive. Can't I just take off my mask? I just have a wound on my face!"

Sha Zhu took off his mask, and the scars on his face were truly too terrifying!

Sha Zhu struggled a lot in the mental hospital. Once, he even poured a thermos of boiling water on his face. This face now looks no better than disfigured!

"My God, this face looks too scary. Which position is this? Could it be scalded by sulfuric acid? Even if it were scalded by sulfuric acid, it couldn't be this terrifying!"

"No wonder he wears a mask and doesn't dare to show his face, yet he comes out to be a chef. I wouldn't dare to eat the food he makes!"

For a time, everyone was scared into a cold sweat by Sha Zhu. This face could no longer be described as terrifying!

Hearing these words, Sha Zhu became even more angry. It's not okay to take off the mask, and it's not okay to wear it!

And when things got bigger and bigger, He Yushui also received a notice from her waiter and hurried from the office to the door...

When He Yushui saw the person causing trouble, she was stunned. This person was naturally her brother, Sha Zhu.

Counting the time, Sha Zhu and she hadn't seen each other for 10 years!

Sha Zhu's hair was already half white, and his skin was black to the extreme. Clearly, he had been doing manual labor all these years.

But He Yushui formed a sharp contrast with Sha Zhu. Her skin was as tender as an 18-year-old girl, and there wasn't even a wrinkle on her face, let alone white hair!

"He Yushui, why are you here? Why are you here? Why are you dressed like this? You wouldn't be the boss they're talking about, would you!"

"Yuyang Hotel, Yuyang Hotel! I said why this name is so familiar. Chen Tian and He Yushui, you still say you have nothing to do with Chen Tian!"

"Do you know what kind of life I've lived for the past 10 years? You're actually the boss of such a good hotel?" ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
