Siheyuan: Starting from Saving Qin Huai Ru

Chapter 68

He Yuzhu didn't disturb other people's good business, and left quietly.

Riding on the Yongjiu bicycle, we arrived at the Red Star Rolling Mill.

In the cafeteria, all kinds of fish, meat and vegetables needed for the small stove have been prepared.

He Yuzhu didn't talk too much, asked the serving time, and started cooking.

It's still the old practice, He Yuzhu is the "King of the Stove", and he will keep a portion after the frying is done.

Busy until noon, He Yuzhu was about to take a rest, and there was applause in the back room of the cafeteria.

“This dish tastes amazing!”

"Hurry up and invite the master who cooks, it's so delicious! I have to thank the master!"

As He Yuzhu consciously strives for excellence in cooking, learning from the famous chefs in his memory, his control is more precise, and the taste of his dishes is also improved compared to the original ones.

Especially the factory leaders and other leaders who came to visit are the very few in this era who can enjoy the food. They can taste the quality of a dish.

If you were a commune member who ate white noodles once a year, no matter how delicious and delicate the rice cooked by He Yuzhu was, it would be no different from ordinary fried pork slices, they were all "delicious."

The slap marks on Wang Baoshan's face had faded, but he still had a happy expression on his face. He came to the back kitchen of the cafeteria and asked He Yuzhu to go to the back room.

The table was full of food and drink, including Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, the visiting leaders, and Xu Damao, who accompanied the wine and was eloquent.

Seeing He Yuzhu's arrival, deputy director Li smiled and introduced to the visiting leader.

"This is He Yuzhu, the canteen master of our rolling mill, the orthodox Tan family's heir."

"There is absolutely no craftsmanship. In our cafeteria, this person is the pillar!"

The leaders laughed and praised He Yuzhu for his excellent cooking skills. Some suggested drinking a glass of wine with He Yuzhu, and some were half-joking, asking He Yuzhu to be a master chef in their factory, and the treatment was easy to talk about.

He Yuzhu dealt with it, and his eyes swept over the crowd by the way.

Xu Damao curled his lips quietly. Anyway, he felt upset when he saw He Yuzhu.

Director Yang's face was not very happy, and he didn't know why.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet broke up and the leaders left.

Liu Xiaobao hurriedly went to the wing room to get leftovers, but was scolded by Wang Baoshan.

He called Ma Hua in again, and asked Ma Hua to pack the leftovers for He Yuzhu and deliver them by himself.

He Yuzhu was speechless: "Great, thank you, are these leftovers?"

"How can it be!"

Wang Baoshan took He Yuzhu to the office, first handed him five ten-yuan bills and a sewing ticket, and then turned his head to He Yuzhu to signal: there was a piece of pork and two bags of flour in the corner.

"Thank you, Master He, for reminding me today!"

"I took the initiative to report to Deputy Director Li about my mistakes in thinking, and Deputy Factory Director Li has promised me to report to him again tonight!"

"Master He, if there are no accidents, we can get together and break up."

"I'll leave this cafeteria for you when I go to other places."

Speaking of this, I also complained a little in my heart-if it wasn't for this stupid Zhu who insisted on smashing himself, would he be able to spend more?
But he has a strong relationship. Both Director Yang and Deputy Director Li treat him well, and they don't know how much he spent on it.

Wang Baoshan, as a person who has no moral integrity, bullies the weak and fears the hard, even dare not turn his back on the former stupid fool, so he naturally chooses "be patient, and kindness is the most important".

"Okay, that's it, this thing is very conspicuous." He Yuzhu said, "So many people can see it."

"You leave later today, when it's dark, and your center apprentice Ma Hua... can take it away." Wang Baoshan said hastily.

He Yuzhu nodded when he heard the words, and said in his heart: I have to defend myself when the time comes.

In case Wang Baoshan came to Yin, instead of going to Deputy Director Li, he reported himself for stealing property from the cafeteria; just this one piece of pork and two bags of white noodles, I would have to go in and squat for a few years.

Not in a hurry to go home, He Yuzhu sat drinking tea in the cafeteria.

After more than half an hour, an unexpected figure came to the cafeteria. Director Yang still smelled of alcohol: "He Yuzhu, come with me."

He Yuzhu walked out of the cafeteria with Director Yang, and walked slowly inside the factory without going to the director's office.

"He Yuzhu, in the factory, I wasn't going to mention the big boss."

"However, I feel that what you did is not good, so I have to tell you."

"Director Yang, just say it straight," He Yuzhu said.

"Are you two-faced?" Director Yang asked in a deep voice.

"I'm not double-dealing." He Yuzhu said in surprise.

"Then why did deputy factory director Li suddenly mention your name to me? The dishes you cook today are better than those made at the big leader's house? He Yuzhu, you can disrespect me, but you can't disrespect the big leader!" Director Yang He said angrily, "You don't think that if Deputy Director Li can give you the position of director of the canteen, you can be proud of both sides?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "Director Yang, you are so straightforward!"

"If the other leaders think the same as you, then they will hold a grudge and don't know when they will hit me hard."

"You still complain to me."

"I'm used to being a soldier with a big leader, and I can't change my temperament in this life." Director Yang said directly.

"It's because of your temperament that I can tell you two truths."

He Yuzhu said: "I made a promise to the big leader last time about cooking; you also knew at the time that I said I had to learn how to cook and do my job well."

"Although these dishes are good today, I feel that they can be better."

"Next time I go to see the big boss, I promise to make it even more delicious than today, so it shouldn't be considered double-dealing. Are you right, Director Yang?"

After hearing this, Director Yang suddenly realized: "Hey! Look at my pig brain!"

"I didn't think about cooking. I thought you had something to do with the boss!"

"Then deputy director Li wants to promote you intentionally or unintentionally, so what's going on? How did you get in touch with him?"

After He Yuzhu thought about it, he said Liu Lan, Liu Lan's husband did not support the family, and beat his wife when he was drunk.

Also, the relationship between Liu Lan and Deputy Factory Manager Li made me meet, and Deputy Factory Manager Li wanted to block himself, so he said everything.

Factory Manager Yang was very angry after hearing this.

"Unhealthy winds, all of them are unhealthy winds!"

"Where is the Women's Federation? What about the street office? Why is no one helping Liu Lan? Isn't it harming female comrades to fight with each other on this kind of matter?"

"There's also Deputy Factory Manager Li. It's okay to like Liu Lan. It's allowed by the organization to remarry after divorce. What is he doing like this? Did the old society look for a concubine?"

"Also trade the positions in the factory!"

After being annoyed for a while, Director Yang pointed to He Yuzhu: "You are also an unhealthy trend!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "What's wrong with me, it's not me messing around with men and women."

"I just watched the wind rise and prepared for self-protection, that's all."

Factory Manager Yang was stunned for a while, and muttered to himself: "Even you understand what the big leader said? Even you have to think about self-protection... It seems that the strong wind is really going to blow."

"Forget it, I don't blame you for this matter—the next time Deputy Director Li brings it up again, I will agree to this matter."

"However, I have two requirements. First, follow the procedures and be more formal. In the future, others will not find anything wrong with your resume when they check your resume."

"Second, cooking skills can't be neglected, the big boss is still waiting to eat your food."

"Yes, Director Yang, I understand."

He Yuzhu responded, and Director Yang didn't say anything more—he has a really straight temper, and he comes and goes quickly; when there is no lump in his heart, the matter is over.
