I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 189 It’s really worth calling him a fool.
Xu Fugui really didn't want to have any evil thoughts this time, he just wanted to settle the matter quickly.However, it can't be said that it wasn't painful to throw away so much money at once, but the tight string in his heart finally relaxed, and he seemed to feel much lighter all of a sudden.

Especially when he returned to the courtyard where he rented in Xicheng and saw the IOU handwritten and signed by Xu Damao posted on the door of his house, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was finally over.

Shazhu, the back cook of the cafeteria of the steel rolling mill, was cooking while happily telling Qin Huairu, who was standing by to help him, the various key points of this fried fish-flavored shredded pork dish.

Qin Huairu listened very carefully, staring at the constantly stirring cooking pot. She even held a small notebook in her hand and kept writing and drawing.

The whole back kitchen is very lively today.Because, in the middle of the morning, someone from the logistics department came to inform me that Xiaozao would be entertained today.

Then all kinds of good things that had not been seen for a long time were sent to the back kitchen one by one. The people in the back kitchen stared at each other and sighed, they really didn’t expect that there were so many good things in the factory. .

With the good ingredients that had not been seen for a long time, Silly Zhu, who had not done anything for a long time, finally had a chance to have some fun.

Silly Zhu put the fried fish-flavored shredded pork on a plate, walked to the stew pot on the stove next to him, opened the lid and took a look, turned to Qin Huairu who was following him and said, "This chicken dish The mushroom stew cannot be stewed for too long. You must pay attention to the heat, otherwise the chicken will be old and the taste of the chicken will not be reflected. As long as the soup thickens, you can probably start the pot."

At this moment, Liu Lan ran over excitedly: "Silly Zhu, you have to use your real skills today. Do you know who you are receiving in the factory today? It's Minister Zhou."

Zhuli didn't even pay attention to her. Why should a minister not be a minister? He only cares about cooking, but who cares about how he eats?No one is more important to him than teaching Sister Qin how to cook now.

When Liu Lan saw Silly Zhu's reaction, she couldn't help but squint at Qin Huairu who was standing aside holding a notebook and reading while writing. She curled her lips and thought to herself: "It's really not a bad idea to call him Silly Zhu. To him, Nothing is as important as the relationship with the widow. Huh, such good skills are wasted."

Today, basically all the factory leaders were present. They accompanied the enthusiastic Minister Zhou around the rolling mill, focusing on inspecting the half-built production line.

What makes Factory Manager Yang very excited is that, according to what Minister Zhou said, the production line will soon be rebuilt again.This made Director Yang, who had put so much effort into this production line and had to give up halfway because of the sudden withdrawal of the Russian experts, and was deeply shocked, how could he not be excited.

When it was almost noon, I saw that Director Zhou was still in high spirits. According to Secretary Chen, he would continue to hold on-site meetings at the steel rolling mill in the afternoon, so Director Yang quickly gave instructions to Director Li to arrange lunch. .

Director Li nodded without any trace of panic. He had made preparations in advance in the middle of the morning and had already ordered the canteen chef to arrange the Xiaozao reception meal.

Minister Zhou seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and he did not refuse the small stove arranged by the factory. Especially after tasting a few Sichuan dishes made by Sha Zhu, he was greatly impressed.

He said to Factory Director Yang: "I worked in Chongqing before joining the department. At the beginning, I was very unaccustomed to my diet. However, after staying there for two years, I even started to have fun with everything. What's going on in the kitchen of your factory? The Sichuan cuisine is very authentic and very good. If the old leader eats it, he will probably invite the chef from our factory to cook at home. He is different from me. He is an authentic Sichuanese. I can’t live without this taste.”

Minister Zhou spoke kindly, making the entire small private room burst into laughter. Factory Director Yang even took the opportunity to ask many questions related to the production line. Minister Zhou also revealed a lot of new information to him as he could.

Only Director Li didn't worry about the production line or not. After listening to Minister Zhou mention that the old leader was from Sichuan just now, he lowered his head thoughtfully and started to think about it.

He knew it well, but he always felt that he was out of step with Minister Zhou. Minister Zhou was a man of action with strong revolutionary energy. Director Li always felt that he had no place to use his energy and could not rely on him no matter how hard he tried.

Especially recently, after Minister Zhou officially took up his new post and became a full-time official, he began to fully preside over the work of the department, which made Director Li feel that his personal development would be greatly affected. Unexpectedly, the few words that Minister Zhou accidentally said today made him feel I had new ideas and seemed to see new opportunities.

After enjoying the meal, Minister Zhou took Factory Director Yang to continue going to the production site for an on-site meeting.Before leaving, he said to Director Yang: "Today's special reception is also because there is indeed a happy event that deserves to be celebrated, but we must remember that it will not be the same next time. The country is in difficulty now, and we must pay attention to frugality and simplicity. Next time we come, we will do the same." The workers eat together." Minister Zhou also specially instructed his secretary to leave food stamps, meat stamps, and money.

Factory Director Yang nodded repeatedly to Director Zhou's instructions, and before leaving, he looked at Director Li with a stern look.

Director Li disapproved of his reaction and just curled his lips without leaving any trace. He was now planning in his mind to find his old father-in-law when he got home and ask him to inquire about the old leader's personal preferences and living habits.

After Director Yang and the others left, Director Li made a special trip back to the canteen to cook.When Liu Lan saw him coming in, she quickly handed the brewed tea cup to her hand. She was as obedient as the young daughter-in-law who had just walked in, completely unlike her usual aggressive appearance in the kitchen.

When Director Li entered the kitchen, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Qin Huairu first, feeling an uncontrollable heat in his heart.Especially after looking at Liu Lan, who was standing aside obediently, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but compare the two of them together.This woman is completely unlike Liu Lan with rough skin and yellow complexion.But in these years, can you still look as young as pinching a handful of water?It is truly a rare beauty.

Director Li couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind.Qin Huairu noticed that Director Li's eyes were particularly hot today, and she really didn't like that look. Taking advantage of the opportunity to clean up the kitchen, she took the initiative to find a job and hid aside.

Only then did Director Li realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly cleared his throat and turned to Silly Zhu, who looked a little unkindly, and said, "Today's reception dinner was very well cooked, and the leader greatly appreciated it. I verbally praised Comrade He Yuzhu. , and at the same time, I also hope that the entire No. [-] canteen chef will continue to work hard and be able to better complete the next tasks."

After talking in high-sounding Mandarin for a while, Director Li called Sha Zhu out of the kitchen. The two of them stood at the door. He asked Sha Zhu in detail about his cooking skills.

Silly Zhu just saw Director Li staring at Qin Huairu, which made him feel semi-annoyed, and he could not help but have some opinions about Director Li in his heart.

Therefore, my tone was a bit stiff unconsciously when I answered.However, Director Li didn't seem to notice his bad attitude. Instead, he kept smiling and speaking in a gentle tone. Even though Silly Zhu was impatient with some of his answers, he would take the trouble to ask again.

In the end, even Shazhu himself felt a little embarrassed. His tone slowly became calmer, and he began to truly answer Director Li's various inquiries.

After Director Li found out that Sha Zhu was good at Sichuan cuisine and also understood Tan's cuisine, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him in a kind manner.

After the conversation was over, Silly Zhu returned to the kitchen. The warm smile on Director Li's face disappeared. He let out a soft "hum" and stood thoughtfully for a while before turning around and leaving. .

In a narrow alley near Beixinqiao in Dongcheng City, Guo Dabozi led a group of people working in the kitchen of his house, sweating profusely.

They used all kinds of weapons on the kitchen stove, cutting, welding, knocking and beating. Finally, they heard the thin monkey who had been standing at the front say happily: "It's done, now The multi-purpose stove is finally installed.”

Soon, everyone who was busy stopped and all looked at Guo Dabozi.Guo Dapizi wiped his sweat and asked the skinny monkey: "Can I try it out now?"

The thin monkey said happily: "No problem, start filling in water and coal, you can try it now."

Guo Dayao nodded and waved to the people around him: "Everyone started to get busy to see if the stove works well or not."

More than an hour later, the person guarding the faucet suddenly shouted: "It's done, hot water is coming out."

Everyone looked at the faucet, and saw that there was a few puffs of steam coming out, and then the gurgling began to grow from small to large, and hot water with white smoke began to flow out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with happy smiles on their faces.

The thin monkey said proudly: "We installed much larger installations for those restaurants in Tianjin than this. The hot water will be used not only to wash pots and dishes, but also to steam and cook things. It is so convenient. Otherwise, Could this kind of stove be a new technology promoted by the ministry?”

Guo Dabozi happily patted the thin monkey on the shoulder: "Okay, now that we have successfully tested the small one, the big one will not be a problem at all. The technology is just like that. It is not a problem for us. When the time comes, I will definitely I can’t treat you badly, so do your best.”

Shouhou nodded happily, but he quickly stopped his smile and said to Guo Dapai: "Brother Guo, we can't do it just because we have the technology. The key is to find a hotel willing to install a stove. After all, Tianjin is a pilot city. With the support and publicity from above, we can take advantage of the opportunity to make money. Hasn’t it started here at BJ? We are ahead of the curve, but we have to find customers first.”

Guo Dapizi rubbed his chin and thought of a solution.Wondering how to find the way to the hotel.He thought about it and thought of Silly Zhu.He still has a little understanding of this guy who is usually generous.You know, since the time of his father He Daqing, his cooking skills have been considered the number one in Beijing.

Although He Daqing is no longer in Beijing, Shazhu can be regarded as inheriting his mantle. He still has some friendships in this circle of chefs. After all, he is better acquainted than this group of people who are completely ignorant. There are many people.

So Guo Dabozi, who had an idea, said to the people around him: "Everyone should go back and think about whether there is any way to establish friendship with various restaurants. I will also go back to look for it, and we will meet again in two days. Let this matter be decided.”
