Chapter 134 - Learning And Knife Skills

Chapter 134 Learning and knife skills

The project of fantasy city began to construct formally after the Spring Festival. The important people from the Municipal Cultural Bureau all came to participate in the ceremony. About this, it had something to do with Beidou studio. After all, Zhou Yu, who was the main representative of the studio, was living in their city. Now that he had become a well-known figure in the animation industry, naturally, they needed to help him as much as they could.

However, the main reason was that the total investment of little paradise amusement park had exceeded 10 million Yuan already, and in the foreseeable future, the rich owner Zhou Yu seemed to want to continue investing money in it. This was very apparent because the expansion of the amusement park never stopped, its area was constantly increasing.

Originally people thought that it was just a small village amusement park with a total investment of no more than one million Yuan. At most, it would be an additional tourist attraction in the town. However, in less than half a year, the total investment had added up to ten million already, and base on this rate, it made people wonder if he was going to invest up to a hundred million? It was actually not impossible, because of the box-office sale and the production fee, Zhou Yu’s personal assets were more than enough to support a large amusement park.

That can be very scary.

There are always hungry wolves in the business world, and the larger a business is, the denser the wolves pack will be, so it is troublesome to deal with them. Therefore, Zhou Yu allowed Zhou Fu to join in and take charge of the business. Otherwise, it would be very annoying to deal with different kinds of evil people.

Land acquisition and development, there were too many disputes. Whether it was government or private or other types of issues, they were not something that Zhou Yu wanted to touch.

The fact proved that Uncle Fu was doing a great job. Using his fame and contacts in the local area, he was able to manage everything properly. Disputes were inevitable, but none of them were big or disturb Zhou Yu’s quiet life, which was very good.

So, Zhou Yu more or less listened to Zhou Fu’s words sometimes.

The cooperation this time was definitely good for the amusement park, so it was no wonder that Uncle Fu hoped that he could lift the ban and allow the TV crew in. Although Uncle Fu promised that the TV crew would only shoot within the fantasy City, once they got in, it would be impossible for him to avoid them.

Objectively speaking, Zhou Yu was certainly not willing to lift the ban. Because a ban is a ban, once he made an exception today, there would be another exception very soon, and a couple more times later, this ban would become meaningless.

However, one should not be ungrateful. The amusement park could be developed smoothly and without any obstacles after becoming famous, it was all because of uncle Fu’s contribution, therefore, he had to give him some face. It would be very childish for him to say that he had the most of the shares, so he could do whatever he liked.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu was inclined to agree, but he could not do it so easily leat the similar requests would happen very often. Therefore, only after a few days did he give Uncle Fu an answer.

Delighted with the response, Zhou Fu was about to set off to find the producer to finalize the cooperation agreement and then personally oversee the fantasy project, making sure that it would become a key tourist attraction. But it was at this moment, the head chef of Tung Fook mansion, chubby Li came to him with a sad face.

“What’s wrong? Why a sad face? Was your wife nagging at you again?”

Chubby Li was a distant relative of Zhou Fu, so Zhou Fu was very casual when talking to chubby Li, but chubby Li’s reply startled him a little.

“Brother Fu, I know our amusement park is getting bigger and bigger, and my skills are no longer good enough. So I think I’ll just quit my job. You can ask the little boss to stop helping in the kitchen every day.”

Recently, Zhou Fu was out doing business very often. Not knowing what happened, chubby Li’s response was like a lightning bolt hit him in the head. Clearly, he was a big boss, why did he suddenly want to work in the kitchen? It made everyone in the kitchen very nervous. They all thought that the little boss was suspecting that the kitchen staff was doing something dishonest. That was why the little boss was there monitoring the kitchen staff in person.

“You mean boy Yu goes to the kitchen every day? Since when?”

“Since last week. Originally I thought that he is just playing around, but he has been doing it for five days straight already. Brother Fu, I swear to god that I didn’t do anything dishonest. Besides, all the ingredients in the Tung Fook mansion come from our own farms. What can I possibly do to those ingredients?”

So this was why the chubby Li was gloomy. However, Zhou Fu was very clear about how rich Zhou Yu was. There was no way that he would care about the expenses of the kitchen. Even if he really found that someone in the kitchen was doing something dishonest, he could easily get someone else to do it. There was no need for him to do it personally. But he also could not understand why he suddenly wanted to stay in the kitchen.

“And he was there today?”

“Yes, always on time, and he is still in the kitchen. I really can’t stand it anymore. That’s why I am here. Brother Yu, can you ask him, what did I do wrong?”

The life in the Amusement park was very good, the salary and other benefits were higher than the places around the village, the main thing was the good working environment since the employees in the park could enjoy beautiful sceneries every day. Everyone in the area all wanted to get a job inside the park. Of course, chubby Li also didn’t want to lose his job. That was why he hurried to find Zhou Fu.

There must be a reason for Zhou Yu to behave like that. Zhou Fu decided not to call Zhou Yu, but directly follow chubby Li to Tung Fook mansion and see what Zhou Yu was doing exactly.

However, the reason was in fact very simple, Zhou Yu just wanted to practice his cooking skills. There were not that many ingredients of the ACG world, apart from feeding the villagers of Mini Luhua village, Zhou Yu also needed to keep some for himself as well. So he didn’t want to use those ingredients to practice. Instead, he used the vegetables that were produced by other farms in the park.

Originally, he thought that the cooking skills were basically all about cooking. But he did not expect that the task Kaka assigned to him was to practice his knife skills. Therefore, Zhou Yu began the journey of chopping vegetables.

Every time when the kitchen staff started to prepare meals for the employees of the park, Zhou Yu would appear on time. And then he would immediately wear his apron and start to chop vegetables. Benben would put on music on one side, Kaka would point out his mistakes from time to time, and little Muli would cheer for him and occasionally sing songs to “dad” to relax him.

In the beginning, people in the kitchen still felt very interesting since no one had ever seen a multimillionaire boss chopping vegetables for his employees. But day after day, more and more people started to feel that the work began to become more and more stressful. Because whenever they were working, they always felt that the little boss was watching them from behind.

As more and more people talked about this during the break, the working environment suddenly became very unpleasant. Working meals were free, and no one would care that some kitchen stuff eating some food while preparing it. All the ingredients were all grown in-house, there was no procurement department where people could get kickbacks. So why did the little boss always like to stay in the kitchen?

When Zhou Fu arrived at the back of the kitchen, he really saw Zhou Yu, who was dressed in white, cutting vegetables. Occasionally, he would stop and carefully observe the cut and the appearance of the vegetables. After the observation, he then continued to cut the vegetables.

‘Is this really Boy Yu?’

Since Zhou Yu moved back to the village, the biggest impression he left for everyone was – lazy. Except for the odd exercise, he basically only stayed in his own house doing his own things every day. He was not a person of perseverance, just like carpentry, he could easily make some models and make money from it, however, he was only willing to do it when making some movies.

He had never seen him working so hard on anything patiently, let alone chopping vegetables such an uninteresting task.

It was truly strange.
