Chapter 95: Su Zhai Restaurant (2/2)

”It's the master who made the noodles so well. It's white and soft at first glance. The dough can be filled with as much stuffing as possible. I will definitely learn more from you when I come back. This unique craft can't be lost.”

The master was very comfortable, and within half an hour the two of them had begun to talk intimately.

Tang Jinyu mentioned Xiaoji's affairs to him, and it caused the master to sign with emotion: ”I wonder why someone like you would come out to work at such a young age. It turned out to be like this. In the early years, it was not easy for people of our generation to run around and eat. My skills were all slowly honed. Before I never had the chance to study, I came out on my own during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. I heard that your classmate is also an honest child. In this way, you let him come.”

The master thought for a while, and added, ”For two hours of work in the morning and evening, this also goes for you. I will pay for his two meals, and the salary is as I told you. I will pay him 1,500 yuan a month, and if you are late, I will deduct a few yuan. But if you work hard enough, I’ll give him more money, and it should be enough for tuition. Let's try for a few months, and see if your classmate can go to school!”

Tang Jinyu was very happy and nodded, ”Yes, I will bring him over tomorrow, thank you!”

The master smiled, they were not busy right now. He instructed Tang Jinyu how to mix the fillings. The old and the young talked very happily. The master’s unique secret recipe was revealed a little bit, and he mentioned the tip of it. He coughed a few times, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Tang Jinyu sat there and continued to pinch the steamed dumplings. His movements were very fast. Although the master was not here, there were others still there. His smile was clean and refreshing. He was half their age, but he was quick and diligent, and soon became acquainted with the chef in the kitchen.

Guo Xiaohu was stunned when he moved back to see him, thinking that his old classmate was a bit amazing.

This was a lot of work to do, not only has things been done, but also a lot of little gossip about the back chef.

Tang Jinyu worked for two hours and received his payment. He smiled and said, “I was only here to train here in advance, you already saw if we were capable, and we agreed that if we weren't paid for the first day, you can just take care of our meal.”

The master thought the child was too honest, and he liked him a little bit more in his heart. He had two boxes of buns for them to carry, both of which were signature tofu buns. The two boxes were equivalent to a weight of several small cages.

After Tang Jinyu came out of Su Zhai Restaurant, he divided Guo Xiaohu a box of steamed buns and said, ”You must be tired, here eat some.”

Guo Xiaohu took one and put it in his mouth. The tofu bun was a bit hot. It was not the thin-skinned buns in the south, but the kind with the soft skin in the north. The wheat fragrant was very strong, and the bite tasted sweet. He never thought that this was a vegetarian snack. Tofu, fresh mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots were mixed together, and the fragrance was tangy, and the oily stain was only the corners of the lips after taking a bite. Guo Xiaohu swallowed it, and couldn't help but take another bite. While eating, he sucked his nose vigorously. The rich scent of steamed buns filled the air, and the scent flowed through the nasal cavity all the way to his stomach, making people greedy.

He ate five of them in one breath, and grabbed one more them. ”Xiaoyu, you made this so delicious.”

”Yeah, the stuffing made by the master is good. I have learned almost the same thing. I will come back twice tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.” Tang Jinyu also ate three or four and licked his fingers, thinking that his brother would like to eat this, and maybe he can make some for his brother to eat when he goes back.

Guo Xiaohu choked suddenly, turned his head and coughed for a while, Tang Jinyu was startled: ”Are you okay?”

Guo Xiaohu waved his hand and didn't dare to look back at him. After a long time, he turned his head and his ears were red, avoiding his fingers, and said vaguely: ”It's okay, it's okay, I just ate too fast…choking.”

Tang Jinyu went to buy him a bottle of water. Guo Xiaohu now knows that they were poor, and he was not willing to drink first. He pushed it back and said, ”You drink two mouthfuls first, and I drink the rest.”

Tang Jinyu was happy: ”No need, you drink it, I'll go home in a while.”

Guo Xiaohu still refused, and pushed him to take the first sip. When the two of them weren’t letting go, they heard the sound of a car honk on the side of the road, sounding quite hurried, it seemed like the owner was not in a good mood right now.

Guo Xiaohu gave in. He was already standing on the sidewalk. The car stopped closer to them, but before he could push the water to Tang Jinyu, there were two more honking sounds in the car, and this time the car window rolled down. The person sitting in the driver seat, face was dark, and he turned his head to look at them and said coldly, ”Xiaoyu, why didn't you answer my call just now?”

Tang Jinyu blinked and was immediately pleasantly surprised, ignoring Guo Xiaohu and immediately ran over and bent over and said, ”Brother, why are you here?”

Xia Ye looked at him, then looked at the tall boy next to him, and said to him, ”You didn't call me at noon.” He received it at noon, and the plane arrived in the afternoon.

”Yes, but aren't you busy these days…”

”Not busy.” Xia Ye said briefly, ”Get in the car and I will take you home.”

Tang Jinyu agreed and asked, ”Brother, my classmate lives in the community near our home, so can you send him back on the way?”

Xia Ye nodded.

Tang Jinyu called Guo Xiaohu to get in the car together. Guo Xiaohu yelled ”Brother Xia Ye”, and sat in the back row, and didn’t dare to say anything when he was sitting there.

Tang Jinyu relaxed a lot. He has been in his brother's car since he was a child, and he has been more comfortable than his own car from his old bicycle to car. He was still holding a box of steamed buns, and Xia Ye asked when he saw it, ”Where did this come from?”

“Oh, I made it myself at Su Zhai Restaurant in the afternoon. Brother, you try it? It's still hot!” He took a bun and handed it to Xia Ye's mouth, and fed him during a red traffic light. Xia Ye took a bite, seeming to think of something, and then said: ”There is a water bottle in the car.”

Tang Jinyu immediately opened the bottle, and delivered it to his brother's mouth.

Xia Ye: “…”

Xia Ye: “You drink it yourself, remember to bring a water bottle when you go out next time, you know.”
