Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 513
Over the years, under Qin Huairu's tinkering, Silly Zhu brought some food from the kitchen warehouse from time to time.

The quantity is not large each time, and it is not conspicuous. As long as it is carried in the pocket, it can be taken out, and the security officer of the rolling mill cannot find it at all.

but.

There is a certain amount of food in the warehouse. How much is consumed every day and how much is brought in must be recorded in the account, and it will be accounted for at the end of the year.

Over the years, the deficit of the canteen warehouse is not a small amount.

In the past, Shazhu was the chef of the cafeteria. Although he was not the team leader or director, but because of the trust of the leaders, he would always ask him to be in charge of the accounting.

The leaders above generally will not give him this face.

However, after Nanyi took over, he naturally had to check the warehouse, and those shortfalls were found out.

It was just that Shazhu had already entered the fence at that time, and Nanyi, considering the face of the rolling mill, only reported it to the logistics section chief in charge of the cafeteria, and did not make a loud announcement, so the matter was not exposed.

Nan Yi was a very upright person in the first place, and he was so angry because of this matter, he didn't expect that Sha Zhu would dare to come to the kitchen to make trouble, so he exploded.

The consequences of entraining food are much more serious than entraining leftovers. It is a proper wool from the factory. If the security department finds out, Silly Zhu will have to go in and sit for a few years.

Silly Zhu naturally knew this, so he withered at that time, and apologized to Nanyi repeatedly with his hands crossed, and then ran out of the cafeteria in a hurry.

After leaving the cafeteria, Sha Zhu didn't leave the rolling mill. He hasn't borrowed money yet, so how could he leave?
Silly Zhu is waiting for a person, the most promising person who can lend him money.

That person is Ma Hua.

Sha Zhu has two apprentices, one is Fatty and the other is Ma Hua. Ma Hua is not very old and has not been a teacher for a long time, but he is honest, honest and filial, and has always been respectful to Sha Zhu.

The working hours of the cafeteria are different from those of ordinary workers. Ordinary workers go to work on time, and the cafeteria is busy for a while at noon, and the rest of the time is for some preparations.Then the little chefs can go out.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Sha Zhu's legs were almost numb from squatting, and he saw Ma Hua pushing a tricycle out of the back door of the kitchen.

I haven't seen her for a while, Mahua seems to be fatter than before, her thin face has become rounder, and the clothes on her body are no longer the tattered work clothes before, but a blue woolen coat, this kind of clothes It's a little cheaper than a Chinese tunic, but it's much better than ordinary work clothes.Even the silly pillar didn't pass through.

Seeing that his apprentice seemed to be rich, Sha Zhu felt bad. When Twist followed him back then, he was just an errand runner. As soon as the monthly salary was paid, Sha Zhu borrowed more than half of it. One of the family had a baby. The sick old mother had to be raised, and there were three younger brothers, so life was very difficult.

It's only been a few months, can you afford new clothes?

Ma Hua didn't see Sha Zhu. He was riding a tricycle and was about to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables when someone grabbed his arm.

Twist was startled, when he saw that it was Sha Zhu, he covered his heart and said, "Master, you scared me to death."

After finishing speaking, Ma Hua frowned, and looked Sha Zhu up and down: "Master, haven't you been locked up? Why are you here? Did you escape from prison?"

Twist is an honest boy, when he thinks that Shazhu escaped from prison, his expression becomes tense. He is not afraid of Shazhu, but he is hesitating whether to call the police to arrest Shazhu. The education he has received over the years makes him unable to Accept that an escaped prisoner appeared in front of him.

but.

Shazhu is his master!Although Shazhu didn't teach him much cooking skills, and he often borrowed money and never repaid it, he was his master after all.

Twist understands the principle of being a teacher for one day and being a father for life.

Silly Zhu saw Twist's eyeballs rolling around, and slapped him on the head angrily: "Boy, what are you thinking! Your master was wronged, so naturally he will be released."

When Ma Hua heard this, she immediately became excited, jumped off the tricycle, took Sha Zhu's hand and said, "Master, you were wronged, that's great! When the comrades at the police station came to talk to me, I didn't believe it." Master, you are really capable of stealing things."

Although Shazhu often plays tricks and is not stingy, he is not good to his apprentices. He has a bad reputation in the rolling mill, and he has never been caught for stealing.

Silly Zhu waved his hand impatiently, and asked at Twist: "Mahua, the master has just come out, and he has no job now, and money is a bit tight. Do you have any money with you? First, lend some to the master. When the master earns a lot of money, he will pay it back." for you."

Twist did not expect that Shazhu would ask him to borrow money. Besides, Shazhu had lent him a lot of money before, and he always said to pay it back, but he never paid it back.

Twist is filial, but not stupid.

Startled for a moment, he smiled wryly and said, "Master, you also know about my family's situation. I only get that little salary every month."

Silly Zhu interrupted him, with a cold face: "Twist, I am your master. When you came to the rolling mill, if I hadn't picked you to the cafeteria, you are still working hard in the workshop! Before you Seeing me, the master is long and the master is short. Now that the master is in trouble, you don’t care? Let me tell you, you can’t be so selfish!"

What else did Ma Hua want to say, Sha Zhu waved his hands impatiently: "Ma Hua, you are wearing new clothes now, and you still tell me that you have no money. If I believe you, I will be an idiot."

Ma Hua wants to cry but has no tears: "Master, this is the clothes my wife bought for me"

Silly Zhu was furious and stared wide-eyed: "Good boy, you are married? I didn't tell the master, what use is it for me to have you as an apprentice."

Seeing that Silly Zhu got angry, Ma Hua could only patiently explain: "I'm not married yet, I just established a relationship. The woman is from the tertiary production unit of our rolling mill. This dress was given to me by that girl when we got engaged."

The rolling mill is a large state-owned factory with nearly 2 workers, plus the workers' families, the total number of workers is more than 4.

In this era, 4 people are almost the same as the population of a small town, for the lives of these people.The rolling mill has also established many tertiary production units, such as thermos bottle factories, ice cream factories, schools, movie theaters and the like.

The tertiary production unit also plays an important role in solving the personal life problems of the workers in the rolling mill.

Most of the work in the rolling mill is heavy manual labor. Naturally, most of the workers inside are male workers. When there are more men than women, marriage of workers becomes a big problem.

Factories in this day and age really treat their workers as their own family, so it is natural to establish some tertiary production units and recruit more female workers.

Silly Zhu is an old worker, so he naturally understands the meaning of the tertiary production unit. He curled his lips and said: "Good boy, your master is not married yet, but you took the lead. You are an apprentice like you. Forget it, forget it. Don't talk about it, how much money do you have with you, give it to me quickly."

When Twist heard this, she subconsciously clenched her pockets tightly: "Master, I still have to buy vegetables with the money in my pocket."

"Shopping?" Silly Zhu sized Twist up and down, and said coldly, "My boy, I haven't seen you for a few months, have you been promoted?"

In the back kitchen of the canteen, purchasing is a lucrative position. After all, the price of vegetables changes every day, and it is impossible for the superiors to keep an eye on the purchasers.

Unscrupulous buyers will also falsely report the quantity of purchases, which can waste a lot of black money every year.

However, the position of purchaser is generally performed by the confidant of the canteen director.

"Twist, are you flattering Director Liu who went to the cafeteria?"

Twist hurriedly waved his hand: "Master, don't you know me yet? I Twist has always been responsible, how could I curry favor with others. It is the new chef Nan Yi, who thinks I am honest and recommended me to the director."

Silly Zhu felt a headache when he heard Nanyi's name, he waved his hand: "Don't mention Nanyi to me. Just right, you are going to go shopping now, and I will go with you."

"Go together?" Ma Hua didn't know what Shazhu's idea was, but he had no way to reject this former master, so he could only bring Shazhu to the vegetable market.

Shazhu jumped off the tricycle and asked, "Twist, what do you want to buy today?"

Twist fished out a list from his pocket: "Fifty catties of Chinese cabbage, ten catties of vermicelli, and five catties of pork. Our factory has been doing well recently, and the factory leader decided to offer meat to the workers."

Hearing that there was pork, Shazhu's eyes flickered, but he didn't say much: "Let's go, let's go shopping, the master will help you watch."

Twist was very happy when she heard that Sha Zhu wanted to buy vegetables for herself, and rode a bicycle to the vegetable stall.

In this era, the vegetable market is a state-run unit, and the vegetable sellers are also state employees. You can't bargain when buying vegetables, but if you have a relationship, you can choose some fresh vegetables.

Sha Zhu has been a cook for many years, and he has been familiar with the comrades who buy vegetables for a long time. When those people saw that it was Sha Zhu, they gave the freshest vegetables to Ma Hua without saying a word.

Ma Hua moved the Chinese cabbage to the tricycle, and thanked Shazhu: "Master, thanks to you, I was able to buy this fresh vegetable this time. When I return to the cafeteria, Master Nanyi will definitely praise me."

Hearing Nanyi's name, the corners of Shazhu's mouth couldn't help shaking twice, he smiled awkwardly: "Twist, you are my apprentice, if I don't help you, who will help you?"

Twist was so moved that tears almost flowed out, he decided to lend his private money of 2 yuan to Shazhu later.

Although it costs a lot of money to get married, Twist asked relatives and friends to borrow a lot of money, but he couldn't do it to let him watch Shazhu suffer.

After buying cabbage and vermicelli, the two came to another stall.

"Old Zhang, what's the price of pork today?"

"Hey, it's Master He, one yuan and seventy-eight cents, you can't choose."

"Look, old Zhang, I haven't been here for a while, is this your attitude? Are we still friends?"

"Well, since Master He is here, if I don't give you this noodle, it's unreasonable. How about it, I will help you cut a little more fat later when I use the knife."

"Hey, I knew you were interesting, Old Zhang. When I'm free, I'll have a drink with you."

The salesman Lao Zhang took the money and the meat ticket from Twist, took down a butcher knife from the wall, went to the meat shelf, and started to search for it.

The meat on the meat shelf is divided into three categories, one is lean meat, this kind of meat is cheaper, it only costs one yuan and twenty cents, and no meat ticket is required.But because the oil can't be squeezed out, everyone doesn't like to buy it.

The second category is fat, which is relatively high, and costs 2 yuan per catty.It's too expensive, and the big guys are reluctant to buy it.

There is also a kind of pork belly that is fat and thin. After buying it, the thin one can be cooked, and the fat one can be refined, which is very popular among the masses.

However, pork belly is also particular.

If the salesperson goes down with a knife.

There is more lean meat and less fat meat, and the meat buyer will cry without tears.

There is less lean meat and more fat meat, and people who buy meat are happy.

The difference is entirely in the hands of the salesperson.

what?
Don't you want the meat cut?

I'm sorry, but you have to pay the meat ticket and money first to buy meat, and the cut meat will not be returned or exchanged!
The salesman Lao Zhang searched for a long time before he found a place with a lot of fat. With a flash of the knife, he stretched out his hand to catch the meat.

Picked up the scale and weighed it, no more, no less, exactly five catties.

He has been selling meat for decades, cutting meat for customers, and never needs a second knife.

"Exactly five catties, here."

Ma Hua saw that there was a lot of fat on it, and she was so happy from ear to ear, she will definitely be praised again when she goes back.

He was about to reach out to take it, but was stopped by Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu looked at the salesman Lao Zhang and said, "Cut this piece of meat in half."

"Okay!" The salesman Lao Zhang didn't think much, picked up a kitchen knife and cut the meat in half.

Twist stretched out his hand to take it, and said gratefully to Sha Zhu: "The master is still thoughtful, a large piece of meat is not easy to put away, it will be bad if someone touches it, cut it in half, it can be put in a canvas pocket .”

Silly Zhu picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bag: "What good things are you thinking about! This piece of meat is mine."

Twist did not expect that Shazhu would snatch the meat, and stared wide-eyed: "Master, master, this is the meat from the cafeteria. If you take it away, how will I do business when I go back?"

Silly Zhu couldn't see Mahua's dullness the most, and said with a cold face: "Mahua, you should know a truth, you should get paid for your labor, otherwise, you are exploiting. I bought vegetables for you, are you You shouldn't give me the meat! If Nanyi asks, just tell him that! I've heard that Nanyi's family background is not good, and he will never dare to be charged with exploitation. "

After finishing speaking, Sha Zhu didn't pay any attention to the twist, and hummed with his hands behind his back, wanting to leave.

He has to send this piece of meat to Sister Xiao Qin quickly, and help Sister Xiao Qin cook a delicious meal tonight, Sister Xiao Qin will definitely thank him.

Ma Hua looked at Sha Zhu's back and wanted to cry without tears. He wanted to rush up to stop Sha Zhu, but he didn't dare.

No matter how wrong Sha Zhu is, he is also his master. How can the apprentice be rough on the master?
However, five catties of meat has now become two and a half catties, and Nanyi will definitely find out if he brings it back to the cafeteria.

Although Nanyi is kind to him, he is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes.

Twist had no choice but to take out the 2 yuan in his pocket and buy another small piece of meat.

You can only buy more than one catty of meat for 2 yuan, but you still can't make up five catties. There is no way for Mahua to do it. You can only hope that Nanyi will not find out.
