Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

"Look, the province has organized a chef training class, and I'm going to send you there. Don't say it again in the future. If senior brother has something good to do, he won't miss you anymore."

Yao Guofa took out a document and handed it to Liu Hongchang with pride.

"Yao Guofa, this is the good thing you said. You might as well say, give me two more kilograms of rice during the welfare payment this month!" Liu Hongchang said disappointedly after hearing this.

It is indeed a good thing. The employer sends you to study and travel at public expense to study and improve yourself.

It is something that ordinary people in this era are eager to do.

But whether he could go to the provincial capital or learn cooking skills, Liu Hongchang had no attraction.

"Hey, Liu Hongchang, don't be ignorant. I specially reserved such a good opportunity for you. In your mouth, it is worth two kilograms of rice. Is your rice that precious?"

Yao Guofa asked Liu Hongchang to study, not to trick Liu Hongchang.

She definitely wanted to do a good job with Liu Hongchang. When she heard that Liu Hongchang looked down on him, she was obviously a little angry.

"It's not that I'm ignorant, it's that I really can't seize this opportunity. My family is now a big family, old and young. Who will take care of the family when I leave?"

Liu Hongchang's eldest daughter will not go into details. She is already three years old. She can run and jump at the age where she is lively and cheerful and curious about everything. She has not yet been sent to daycare, so she needs someone to take care of her.

This one child can consume most of Wang Cuilan's energy.

Then on Yang Maixiang's side, even if Liu Hongchang wants to enjoy life and spend more time in the world of two, the couple can relax for a while and refuse to have a baby.

However, Yang Maixiang's insistence on having a child as soon as possible did not last long, and their world did not last long. Last year, Yang Maixiang gave birth to a boy, who is now almost one year old.

It is no longer easy for Yang Maixiang to have to go to work and take care of her baby at the same time.

Originally, the old Liu family had a pair of laborers, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying, who could take care of the children for free.

But it was also at the beginning of this year that Wu Xiaoying finally became pregnant. Pregnancy in her 30s is considered an advanced maternal age in this era. The couple had to be more careful themselves, and there was no spare time to help Liu Hongchang.

Liu Hongchang doesn't do much work at home, and Wang Cuilan and Yang Maixiang are basically in charge of the children.

But when Liu Hongchang stayed at home, he could still do the hard work of buying coal, firewood, rice and noodles.

What's more important is that Liu Hongchang is at home, so there is someone to deal with all emergencies.

"Others get married once, but you get married twice. How good is it now? A daughter-in-law has given birth to a child for you. Can you take care of it? Two daughters-in-law are so easy to marry. If they are so good, others can't They both have two wives.”

Yao Guofa's yin and yang look was obviously outright jealous that Liu Hongchang had married two wives, both of whom were of high quality.

"Yao Guofa, please don't say this nonsense. I am a divorced person, and I don't have two wives at the same time. If you say this, you make me feel like a feudal landlord in the past. Marrying one wife is not enough. Marry and remarry.”

Anyway, Liu Hongchang felt that Yao Guofa's words were not pleasant to listen to.

In this situation where ordinary people still have style problems, what Yao Guofa said seemed like Liu Hongchang was committing a crime.

"You are like you. You can't leave home without one wife. You still want to marry two. How can you leave the house after two! You have really thought about it. Don't let this learning opportunity go. Is there no shop like this after passing this village?”

After joking for a while, Yao Guofa returned to the topic.

"I won't go, you send them."

"This is a great opportunity for rating, certification, and salary increase. Do you really not want it?" Yao Guofa put on a serious expression and said seriously.

It is the same in state-owned units and even private units. After studying, there are opportunities for promotion, and at least a salary increase.

If you can just go out and play alone, people won't rush to go out and study.

In this era, people were not that affluent, and every family would only consider entertainment after the problem of survival was solved.

"I know, I can't leave, I can't go, I can't have it even if I want it."

Liu Hongchang is very comfortable at home, living a comfortable life, and has no thoughts of changing.

"You like cooking so much. For this chef training class, the province invited a master chef from the capital. Are you not interested in the opportunity to learn from the master chef?"

Yao Guofa continued to seduce Liu Hongchang.

Yao Guofa definitely wanted Liu Hongchang to study.

Although Liu Hongchang likes to fish in the second cafeteria, the other people in the cafeteria are not much better.

The two of them have a relationship as senior brothers, so they should get closer.

When there is really a need or critical socializing, Liu Hongchang will also give Yao Guo some face. The two have been getting along quite happily in the past three years.

In the past, the province did not organize cooks to study abroad.

This time the province invited master chefs from the capital and organized chefs from various canteens in the province to learn. They must have been affected by the reform.

But Liu Hongchang didn't know that the original intention of running this chef class was that the leaders liberated their minds and wanted to keep pace with the times.

Or as the effect of the reform becomes more and more obvious, and private restaurants emerge one after another in various places, the canteen's performance is under pressure.

The most likely possibility is a combination of both.

"Are your six disciples going?" Seeing that Liu Hongchang was determined not to go, Yao Guofa continued to ask.

Liuzi studied with Liu Hongchang for another three years, and of course he also honed his skills.

In all aspects, it has surpassed the level of Master Qin and Su Hou.

Now he is considered a member of the Second Canteen and a newly promoted master chef in the Second Canteen.

However, even after Liu Zi became a master of the ladle, he was still the same as before, and there was no change.

Hanging out with Liu Hongchang all day long.

Although Liuzi didn't quite listen to Yao Guofa's words, he could still be regarded as his nephew.

Compared with others, Yao Guofa is closer to Liu Zi.

No matter what, Liuzi, a newcomer in the cafeteria, is better at commanding than the veteran youtiao in the cafeteria who has been there for decades.

"Why don't Liuzi go? I'm young and newly married, so you send me out to study. This is obviously inappropriate."

Liu Hongchang directly made the decision for Liu Zi and refused.

As the master, Liu Hongchang can still help Liu Zi take charge.

The six sons had not been married for long, and the couple lived in two places. This was obviously inappropriate in one aspect.

If Liu Zi wants to improve his cooking skills, Liu Hongchang's guidance is enough.

Liu Hongchang's craftsmanship, Liu Zi still only learned a little bit, and there was no need to go out to learn skills.

On the other hand, Liu Hongchang remembered that this learning opportunity should have belonged to Su Hou in the end.

The few of them got along quite happily. Su Hou needed this opportunity more, and Liuzi didn't have to fight for it.

For the future six sons, cooking is just a hobby, just like Liu Hongchang.

Su Hou must rely on cooking skills to survive and eat.

Or don’t let your hobbies affect your professional kindness.

"Then only Pai Suhou will go?"

With neither Liu Hongchang nor Liu Zi going, Yao Guofa really didn't have many candidates.

Although two new people have been admitted to the cafeteria, they have not finished cutting the mounds in three years.Wanting to run before you learn to walk is obviously unrealistic.

This kind of novice will get nothing if he goes out to study.

Compared to Master Qin who just wants to retire, Su Hou is obviously more valuable to Yao Guofa when he goes out to study.

"Okay, let Su Hou go." Liu Hongchang agreed and continued: "It's a pity that Su Hou is gone, and all the work in the cafeteria has to be done by the two of us, master and apprentice."

Because we have to help resettle unemployed young people, there are more and more people in the canteen, but there are no people who are really working hard and capable of working.

Under such circumstances, it is really unreasonable for state-owned canteens to still want to compete with private restaurants.

In other words, the chefs in state-owned canteens have at least received serious cooking training.

The cooking skills are generally much better than those of chefs in private restaurants, which is why the state-owned canteens, with their advantage in taste, are doing okay in terms of business performance.

However, as chefs in various state-owned units are laid off one after another, this advantage cannot be maintained for long.

"Then you can go out and study. You don't have to do the work in the cafeteria."

Yao Guofa said angrily.

"What I mean is that the cafeteria is going to lose a master. As the director of the cafeteria, you, Yao Guofa, have to think of a way. You can't kill our master and apprentice if you catch him."

With Su Hou gone, it would be appropriate to add another manpower to the cafeteria.

"Then what do you want? There are only a few people in the cafeteria, so feel free to use them. Whoever you think can work on the stove, let them use the stove. These people in the cafeteria can all obey your command."

When Yao Guofa said this, Liu Hongchang looked directly at Yao Guofa.

"What do you think I mean?" Yao Guofa felt guilty and furious when Liu Hongchang saw him.

"Don't you have to obey my command? You, Yao Guofa, are the only one in our second canteen. You can still cook a few dishes on the stove."

This is Liu Hongchang's true thoughts. If one person is missing, the first thing Liu Hongchang thinks of is to replace Yao Guofa.

"I'm going to work on the stove. You'll handle the administrative matters in the canteen. You can go out first. There's one less person on the stove. I'll do more of Master Qin's work. During this time, let him take care of his work. Serve some snacks. If it still doesn’t work, if there are any difficulties, we will solve them then."

Liu Hongchang wanted Yao Guofa to work and cook, but Yao Guofa didn't dare to let Liu Hongchang stay in the office any longer and hurriedly chased him away.

As for Yao Guofa's request for Master Qin to work more, Liu Hongchang was not optimistic at all.

This kind of veteran employee who has been working for decades relies on his seniority to be disobedient and lazy at work, which is difficult to deal with in any unit.

"Okay, if we really don't have enough staff, don't blame me for changing the menu then."

If there are not enough chefs, another solution is to cancel some dishes.

The Second Canteen will not make some complicated dishes, and may only make some simple home-cooked dishes.

"It's up to you. Go out and help me call Su Hou in." Yao Guo said with his hair buzzing.

This situation is obviously as long as Liu Hongchang does not drag Yao Guofa into trouble.

Yao Guofa can do anything.

Yao Guofa is more concerned about the performance of the canteen than ordinary employees.

But this is Yao Guofa's own future.

Yao Guofa is obviously not willing to let Yao Guofa dedicate himself to the Second Canteen.

If the director is like this, the atmosphere in the cafeteria will not get better, and there will be no future at all.

Obviously it won't last for many years. The canteen workers can no longer enjoy this kind of comfortable life for too long, and they have to fend for themselves.

After notifying Su Hou, Liu Hongchang approached Liu Zi.

"Liu Zi, there is an opportunity to study in the provincial capital. Yao Guofa wants you to go, but I help you refuse."

Although Liu Hongchang refused this matter for Liu Zi, he still had to inform Liu Zi.

"Brother, you can make the decision about me. I can't trust others, so why don't I trust you? You've never let me suffer." Liu Zi replied happily.

"That's what I thought about you." Although Liu Zi blindly trusted Liu Hongchang, Liu Hongchang still explained briefly.

"Brother, is this so cheap, Su Hou?"

Su Hou's loyalty was hidden deeply. If it weren't for Prophet Liu Hongchang, no one would be able to see it.

Liu Zi's impression of Su Hou cannot be said to be too good.

Su Hou was afraid of his wife, he was used to cheating and cheating at work, and he was flattering to Yao Guofa most of the time, so he didn't look like a good person.

This kind of smooth-talking person is not as popular and reassuring as an honest person in this age where simplicity is valued.

"How about you take advantage of this advantage?"

"I won't go. I'm staying at home well. Why should I go to the provincial capital? Others don't care about provincial cities, but I don't care about them. I can go there myself if I want to. It's not just the provincial capital, it's the capital. I can go if I want to. go."

After people have money, they still have more confidence.

Since 1 yuan is not much, it is enough for Liu Zi to say such a thing.

"That's alright, let Su Hou take advantage of this. Going out to study is not just a day or two, it's half a year. Do you think it will be so comfortable to study outside for half a year?"

This training class will last for half a year.

If it really only lasted ten days and a half, Liu Hongchang would have gone to the provincial capital by himself.

"Brother, I helped you find a few of the yards you asked me to inquire about."

"How is the courtyard? Where is it located? Is it far from the second cafeteria and your sister-in-law's unit? Have you visited it?"

As the old Liu family continues to increase in population.

The matter of buying a yard was also put on Liu Hongchang's agenda.

It's just that Ningzhou is not big, there are not many houses, and there are even fewer independent courtyards belonging to a family.

If you want to buy a nice yard, you still need to have some luck.

Liu Hongchang has been paying attention to this matter for more than half a year.

It's just that after such a long time, I haven't found a suitable yard, and I haven't met many people selling houses.

Compared with big cities, Ningzhou lags behind in all aspects.

In some aspects, we are more than five years behind.

Houses in big cities have been put into circulation.
House transactions are still relatively rare for Ningzhou.

I really encountered a situation where there were too many houses for sale, and there were no transactions in the yards.

There are no professional brokers who act as real estate agents.

Liu Hongchang left it to Liu Zi to find a house.

"I haven't had time to see it yet." Liuzi replied.
