Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 125: People's joys and sorrows are not the same, Jia Zhang curses in the street

Just when Jia Dongxu secretly went to the secluded courtyard and began to numb himself with decadent methods, Wang Weiguo was invited by Li Huaide to visit his home.

Li Huaide's wife went back to her parents' home, so Li Huaide cooked for the meal himself today.

In terms of cooking skills, Li Huaide, who often cooks for his wife at home, is pretty good among ordinary people, but compared with professionals like Wang Weiguo, he is nothing.

But today Wang Weiguo was a guest, and there was no reason for him to cook for himself.

However, Wang Weiguo was not idle either. When Li Huaide was cooking, he gave some advice at Li Huaide's request.

Today, Wang Weiguo helped him twice in a row. When all the factory leaders lost face, he, the logistics director, was able to show his face in front of his superiors. To Li Huaide, Wang Weiguo was his lucky star and benefactor.

Today, Chief Chen praised Wang Weiguo highly and even invited him to visit his home when he is free, which made Li Huaide determined to make friends with Wang Weiguo.

This Chief Chen is now a big shot who is one level higher than his father-in-law.

What Li Huaide values ​​even more is that Wang Weiguo is not only talented and capable, but also a good person.

If he gets into government, his future prospects will be limitless.

However, given his current situation, it is not easy for him to enter the system, but there are ways.

If you don't have enough academic qualifications, you can go to night school or even go back to school. After all, Wang Weiguo is only 19 and still very young.

Li Huaide tried it out, but found that Wang Weiguo had no such idea.

Upon discovering this situation, Li Huaide felt a little regretful, but he did not insist.

He also felt that with Wang Weiguo's abilities, it was a pity for him to be a cook. For a moment, he was inspired to love talents and wanted to recruit such talents.

But think about it, Wang Weiguo is still young, not only has he become a fifth-level cook, but he is also the last disciple of the famous chef Sun Maofeng. If he focuses on developing in this industry, his future will definitely not be bad.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the best.

If you really do it to the extreme, even the big guys above you will have to treat you politely.

Turning ship and entering politics at this time and giving up the achievements that have been made is obviously putting the cart before the horse.

For Wang Weiguo, rejecting Li Huaide's recruitment was not an impulse, but a well-considered decision.

Perhaps to some people, entering politics is obviously an excellent way out.

But if you want to enter the system and keep moving up, you need to have sufficient political resources and background. Otherwise, even if you have talent, you may not be able to go very far.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of talented people.

Wang Weiguo knew very well that if he sought shelter from Li Huaide after the storm started, there would be basically no problem.

But if he wanted to rise to the top by relying on Li Huaide, it would probably be the end of the road, and he could only stay in this steel mill.

Even Li Huaide himself did not leave the steel mill until the reform and opening up.

Li Huaide could not be Wang Weiguo's backer in politics, nor could he provide him with sufficient resources to support him.

If it were Li Huaide's father-in-law, he might have this ability.

Just is this possible?

No matter what, Li Huaide is the other party's son-in-law, and they are not related in any way. Why should I snatch his support and resources?

The most crucial point is that even if Li Huaide's father-in-law does not fall when the reckoning comes later, and he lands safely with Li Huaide, his official career will basically end there, not to mention the people below him.

Moreover.

Compared with those who are playing games in officialdom, Wang Weiguo is now like a simple little white rabbit.

The next ten or twenty years were not peaceful.

Life is only a few decades long, at most a hundred years. Wang Weiguo, who has lived his life again, does not want to be so tired. He just wants to enjoy life to the fullest. He is interested in fame and fortune, but he does not have to be so interested in it.

Rather than gambling and fighting wits and courage, Wang Weiguo prefers to lie down and sleep on the lap of a beautiful woman.

After the appetizers were ready, Li Huaide took out two bottles of Moutai, and the two of them soon started toasting each other.

After tasting the dishes made by Li Huaide, Wang Weiguo was quite satisfied.

With his own guidance, Li Huaide's skills have obviously improved a little.

Moreover, these ingredients were originally prepared to entertain Chief Chen and his party, but they were not used at noon. When the superiors were dissatisfied with the inspection, the leaders of the steel rolling mill naturally had no mood to eat and drink. These ingredients were originally obtained by Li Huaide through his connections, so they naturally could not be wasted.

To borrow the words from a food documentary in later generations, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking.

Although the ingredients today cannot be said to be high-end, they are not bad either. So when Wang Weiguo gave instructions just now, he asked Li Huaide to keep it as simple as possible to retain more of the original flavor and freshness of the ingredients.

As his cooking skills improved, Wang Weiguo also became more picky.

If it was just to fill his stomach, Wang Weiguo would not have so many requirements, but if conditions permit, he naturally hopes to satisfy and enjoy as much as possible.

The two people, who had already wanted to make friends and had already started to call each other brothers, became more familiar with each other while eating delicious food and drinking fine wine.

……

Siheyuan.

People who went out for get off work today are coming back one after another.

Because most of the residents who participated in the steel mill assessment today passed the assessment smoothly and successfully received a salary increase of one level, the people who stayed at home cheered instantly after hearing the news, and even the air around them became festive.

Seeing other families so excited, Jia Zhang curled her lips in disdain, complained and boasted: "Tsk, what's there to be proud of? Our Dongxu must have passed the second-level fitter assessment, and then he will have a monthly salary of 38.6 yuan."

While they were celebrating at home, someone couldn't help laughing when he heard what Jia Zhang said.

"why are you laughing?"

Seeing her husband laughing, the wife asked curiously.

"Hey, didn't Jia Zhang say that his son Jia Dongxu would definitely pass the second-level fitter assessment this time?"

"I tell you, she is simply dreaming?"

"You know what? The unlucky Jia Dongxu not only failed the second-level fitter assessment, but he didn't even go..."

"how come?"

"Of course he didn't go. I'm telling you. Not only did he not go, he also had no way to go because he offended the factory leader. As a result, he was punished to clean the toilets. Not to mention a salary increase, his salary has been reduced to 18 yuan a month, which is almost the same as an apprentice. The factory leader made a decision on the spot at noon, and the notice was posted in the afternoon..."

"So miserable?"

"That's right! What you can't believe is that Wang Weiguo in the front yard is now a level 5 cook in Fengze Garden, which is many times better than Sha Zhu's level 10 cook."

"Level 5 cook? This... he is not..."

"Hey, don't underestimate him. I think this guy used to play dumb and eat the tiger! The meat dishes in our cafeteria at noon were made by him. They were so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue."

"..."

Similar conversations were heard in the steel mill workers' home in the courtyard, and the discussions all centered around Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai and Wang Weiguo.

There is no way, what happened in the steel mill today was too shocking and wonderful. There is no end to the melons!
Soon.

Yi Zhonghai came back from outside.

Jia Zhang, who had been waiting at the door, did not see her son Jia Dongxu, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Dongxu, where is our Jia Dongxu? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Thinking that from today on, Jia Dongxu will become a second-level fitter, and their family will have an income of 38.6 yuan a month in the future, Jia Zhang's mouth not only became sweeter, but also there were more smiles on her face.

"Sister-in-law, Jia Dongxu went to the grain store to buy food."

Faced with Jia Zhang's inquiry, Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to tell her what happened in the factory today. Remembering that Jia Dongxu asked him to borrow money on the way back, he began to explain.

"Buy food?"

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, then she smiled even more brightly and said happily, "Yes! We should buy food. Dongxu passed the assessment today, so we should buy some good things to celebrate."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned.

Thinking that Jia Zhang had been tricked by someone, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, who told you that Dongxu passed the test?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhang was also stunned. She looked at Yi Zhonghai with an unfriendly expression and asked, "Did our Dongxu fail the assessment today?"

"Sister-in-law, don't get excited yet, listen to my explanation..."

"What the hell, I'll let you explain."

"Let me ask you, Yi Zhonghai, did our Dongxu really fail to pass the second-level fitter exam today?"

"Indeed, but this matter is a bit complicated..."

"Complicated? Yi Zhonghai, what are you talking about? Who told me before that Dongxu would definitely pass the exam and become a second-level fitter?"

"Everyone else has passed the assessment, but our Dongxu has not. He even went with you to the factory for a surprise training this morning. Yi Zhonghai, how do you manage to be a master?"

"..."

Jia Zhang's exploded.

She was full of expectations, and other people in the hospital who also took the assessment today came back with good news, all of them passed the assessment. But Yi Zhonghai told her that Jia Dongxu failed the assessment?

How many years has it been since Jia Dongxu was promoted to a first-level fitter?

Those who joined the factory one or two years earlier than Jia Dongxu have become third-level fitters today.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

In the past, Jia Zhang thought that it was because Jia Dongxu himself was not hardworking enough, but now it seems that it was all because Master Yi Zhonghai did not know how to teach, or simply was unwilling to teach.

The movements of the two people naturally attracted other people in the yard.

"Jia Zhang, your Dongxu failed the assessment, but you can't blame the uncle."

"Jia Zhang, you don't know this, do you? Jia Dongxu made a mistake in the factory today and offended the factory leader, so he was directly demoted to clean toilets and do renovations."

"Oh, not only that, but even the salary has been reduced to the level of an apprentice. Now it's only eighteen dollars a month."

"It's tragic, but don't worry, Jia Zhangshi. The factory leader said that as long as Jia Dongxu reforms himself, he will have a chance to return to the workshop in the future."

"..."

Those who knew the situation spoke out one after another, some even gloating over the other's misfortune.

"what?"

Jia Zhang was no longer calm. She glared at everyone with her triangular eyes, angrily scolding, "You people are jealous of others. You are saying that my Dongxu cleans the toilet. I think you are the ones who clean the toilet."

It’s obvious that Jia Zhang just doesn’t believe it!

Seeing Jia Zhang scolding, the people around her were unhappy and immediately fought back.

"Hey, we are kind enough to tell you the truth, why are you still cursing at me, Jia Zhang?"

"If you don't believe it, just ask an uncle. An uncle wouldn't lie to you, would he?"

"I know this is hard for you to accept, but I suggest you choose to accept it."

"Things have already come to this, what else can I do if I don't accept it?"

"Speaking of which, your Dongxu brought this upon himself. Just to eat more meat, he ended up causing trouble in the cafeteria. I wonder if the factory leaders and the leaders who came to inspect were there at the time?"

"In that situation, if Jia Dongxu didn't suffer, who would?"

"..."

Some people who were unhappy with Jia Zhang, or who didn't get along with her in general, almost had the words "gloating" written on their faces.

"You! You..."

Jia Zhang, who was attacked by everyone, was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, frowned. He was in a bad mood to begin with. He looked around at everyone and said angrily, "What are you doing? Jia Dongxu's accident is sad enough. Instead of comforting others, you are rubbing salt into their wounds. Is that interesting?"

When everyone saw that Yi Zhonghai was angry, they knew that he had not passed the seventh-level worker assessment today, and they felt unhappy. Besides, he was the eldest brother in the courtyard, so no one wanted to provoke him. They all took their families away without saying a word.

The yard suddenly became quiet. Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang, who was also in an agitated mood, and quickly tried to comfort her. He also told her what had happened in the factory today.

"what?"

"Isn't Wang Weiguo an apprentice at Fengze Garden? Why did he end up in the canteen of the steel mill?"

"Level 5 cook?"

"No, why should he?"

"Does he have this ability?"

"Uncle, if you want to make up a lie, please make it more credible!"

"That damn Wang Weiguo, he is responsible for everything."

"If it weren't for him, our Dongxu wouldn't have displeased the factory leaders, and wouldn't have fallen to the point of sweeping toilets!"

"What the hell!"

"Wang Weiguo, come out!"

"..."

After discovering that Wang Weiguo was involved, Jia Zhang, who was listening to Yi Zhonghai's story, directly blamed all the responsibilities and problems on Wang Weiguo.

(Regarding the salary of fitters, when I checked the information today, I found that it seemed to be different from the drama. In the original drama, Qin Huairu seemed to be 27.5, so I wrote this before, but the salary standard of the information is 33 for the first-level fitter and 38.6 for the second-level fitter, so I just followed this and made some corrections!)
