Chapter 278 News from Fengze Garden
Hearing He Yuzhu's serious words, Lin Zheng immediately became interested.

"Zhu Zi, I am not a skilled craftsman.
I don't quite understand your rules.
Explain the ins and outs of this to me, maybe it will be useful in solving a case someday!"

Seeing that Lin Zheng was interested, He Yuzhu smiled and told him about it.

"Brother Lin,

In fact, this departure ceremony is to pay homage to the ancestors.

Take our chefs for example. The official apprenticeship period is three years. During these three years, the apprentice actually has no status.
When I was at work, I had to help my master do the dirtiest, most tiring and most difficult work.
At home, I had to empty the toilet for my master's wife in the morning, and I had to stand aside during mealtimes, ready to serve my master and his wife food at any time.
Some masters have the habit of smoking and have to tend to the pipe every day.

You said that you have been working so hard and tired, you must have some money,

Sorry, no. The most I can get from my master every month is tips from customers, which I use for my daily living expenses.

As a result, the apprenticeship ceremony becomes particularly important.
Only after holding a ceremony to become a chef, worshipping the ancestors, inviting the leading figures in the industry to bear witness, and paying dues to the chefs' guild, can one be considered a formal chef.

Then you can work as a chef in various restaurants and get a full salary.

They are also eligible to accept the invitation of the host family to host a banquet.

Otherwise, you are an illegal immigrant with unknown origins and no one to guarantee you. Even if you are a good cook, no one will dare to hire you to cook.
Because when something goes wrong with the food, no one is responsible.”

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, Lin Zheng roughly understood what this apprenticeship ceremony was.
Then I asked curiously,

"Zhu Zi, you learned cooking from your father, so you probably haven't done the things you mentioned before!"

"No, I haven't done that. My mother used to do it. It was my turn after she passed away. It was only for a few years."

Hearing this, Lin Zheng smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll leave you alone for now. Dapeng will come find you later."

"Okay, then I'll hand over to Brother Dapeng later."

After completing the handover with Ye Dapeng, He Yuzhu saw that there was nothing else to do, so he strolled out of the police station and returned to the courtyard.
Prepare to take a look at the follow-up of Yan Bugui’s grocery shopping.

As soon as he walked into the door, he saw Jia Zhang and the second aunt sorting out the ingredients while chatting with He Daqing and the first aunt who were grinding flour with a stone mill.

The protagonist of their chat was naturally Teacher Yan Bugui.

Without having to listen any further, He Yuzhu soon understood from Jia Zhang's complaints that Yan Bugui was not working hard when he bought vegetables this morning.

It's the same whether I've been there or not, it's just a decoration.

At this time, He Daqing, who was pushing the mill, had just turned half a circle and saw He Yuzhu standing at the gate, so he stopped and asked,

"Zhu Zi, why did you come back at this time? Is everything alright at the branch office?"

Hearing He Daqing's question, the women in the courtyard all looked towards the gate, and then saw He Yuzhu standing at the gate.

Then he smiled and nodded and said,
"Dad, my transfer order has also come down.
I just finished the handover with Brother Dapeng and the others. If nothing unexpected happens, I don't have to go to the branch office in the future. I just need to wait for Fengzeyuan to notify me to go to work like you." Hearing He Yuzhu say that he had also received the notice, He Daqing didn't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, when Jia Zhang, the second aunt, and Aunt Yan heard that He Yuzhu would not go to work at the branch, they immediately smiled and confirmed with him.
"Zhu Zi, are you really not going to the police station anymore?"

Seeing the Jia Zhang family members who were cursing just now, they suddenly became happy when they heard that they had completed the handover at the branch office.

He Yuzhu didn't know what they were thinking now.
So he nodded and said,
"Yes, I won't go to work at the branch office anymore. I need to have a good rest in the next few days."

After the news was confirmed by He Yuzhu, the person involved, Jia Zhang and the others were obviously relieved, and they didn't even care about Yan Bugui's lack of effort.

At this time, an old lady looked at He Yuzhu and asked,
"Zhu Zi, since you are not going to work at the police station anymore, have you handed over the guns in your hands?"

I heard an old lady asking about He Yuzhu's weapons.

Jia Zhang and the others then realized that they were too happy too early. He Yuzhu was not just working at the branch office. He had dozens of lives and several real weapons on his hands.
So they all stopped smiling and waited seriously for He Yuzhu's answer.

Seeing that Jia Zhang and the others had calmed down in an instant, He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head.
"Auntie, you also know that the world is not peaceful.

Soldiers who leave the army are allowed to take their weapons with them, and my guns are all mine, so the police station naturally won’t let me hand them in.”

Seeing that He Yuzhu's gun was really not handed in, Jia Zhang and the others all changed their expressions, and then asked in a low voice,
"Not a pillar,
The past is the past. Now, almost all the spies in our Beiping city have been wiped out by the Public Security Bureau.
The rest are just some small fish and shrimps.
They don't seem to be in any danger, why did you keep the gun with you?"

"Yes, Zhuzi, it's dangerous for you to leave the gun in the courtyard. I think you'd better hand it over.

So that if something goes wrong, you will be held responsible."

……

Seeing them giving him advice, He Yuzhu couldn't help but grin.
"Aunt Yan, Aunt Zhang, your words don't count. We have to wait until there are new policies from above before the comrades below can implement them.

It’s not like the police station can do whatever they want.”

He Daqing also knew what Jia Zhang and Yan Bugui's wife were planning. After He Yuzhu finished speaking,

He also smiled and stopped Jia Zhang and others.
"Come on, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Yan, please stop interfering in our family affairs. Zhuzi knows his limits.
You should just worry about your own family's affairs!"

Since He Daqing, the father, had spoken, Jia Zhang and the others naturally had no choice but to quiet down and sit there obediently to prepare the ingredients.

In the afternoon, after get off work, Yi Zhonghai, Xu Fugui and others also learned that Yan Bugui was not working hard.

But apart from keeping a note of Yan Bugui in their hearts, they didn't know what else they could do.

A few days later, Li Hongying brought news about Fengze Garden and asked He Yuzhu and his son to report to Fengze Garden the next day.

First, I thanked him.
After Li Hongying left, He Yuzhu and his son started to discuss.

"Zhu Zi, Fengze Garden is now the property of the Military Control Commission. We can't take advantage of the public.
Besides, Yushui is already 7 years old this year, and I have also learned how to steam buns recently, so let’s not bring her with us when we go to work at Fengze Garden this time!”
