A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 80: Shazhu's Status Improved
Everyone was eating with their mouths drooling, and many people began to feel that although the He family had made a great harvest, they were not bad either, as they had also eaten a meal of meat.

This is not just a little bit, add the steamed buns made by the three aunts, and it becomes a delicious meal.

Of course, Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are also a plus. Although at this point as long as the meat is cooked it is a delicacy, no one would refuse good cooking skills.

He Yukai didn't want to do that, but it has already been brought back.

If we share some with everyone, it won’t be enough, so let’s just let everyone have a meal in the yard.

It was quite funny to see He Yushui and Erxiao eating meat in the same manner.

Erxiao’s bowl looks festive, but he is reluctant to eat it at home.

I want to eat together with everyone, which is much better than eating with a big bowl like Bang Geng.

Before, when the kids weren’t together, I didn’t feel that way.

Now put them together, the gap is extremely large.

Comparing the two education systems, the difference in quality is beyond words.

As the supply of materials became increasingly tight, He Yuzhu's status in the factory became increasingly high.

Director Li, who is mainly in charge of logistics, needs to coordinate supplies, so he inevitably starts treating people to dinner.

Leaders from the meat processing plant, textile factory, supply and marketing cooperative, grain bureau and other local areas began to be invited to the steel mill for dinner.

Only when you have eaten and drunk well can you ask for more supplies. This is when the importance of cooking skills is reflected.

Although He Yuzhu felt that Director Li was not a good person, the advice and long-term influence of his elder brother and sister-in-law still worked.

Nor will I offend others by being hostile to them.

Director Li also returned the favor.

At the factory committee meeting, Cai Wenqing did not fight for power and seemed to have no desire for power.

When I was at work, I mostly slacked off, and the person behind me also reminded me of this.

He must not offend He Yukai and Cai Wenqing easily.

At critical moments, necessary concessions must be made.

Behind Director Li is also a department-level leader. This shows that the people behind these two people are not simple.

After observing for a few months, Li Huaide felt relieved.

The couple came here to live in retirement, and as long as they don't cause any trouble, they will just go with the flow.

He was a neutral person at the factory committee meeting, and he didn't pull anyone else in, and he hardly ever put forward any proposals.

Such people must be crazy to offend others.

"Master He, I'll need you to prepare a good table tonight. The leaders of the Grain Bureau, the Textile Factory, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the Meat Factory, etc. are all here.

This concerns the supplies of our factory and the welfare issues during the New Year.

But for big things, you still have to use all your martial arts skills."

Li Huaide came over specifically to instruct He Yuzhu that those who are in charge of material allocation are now the big guys.

"Don't worry, Director Li. Regardless of anything else, you can trust my cooking skills. As long as the ingredients are sufficient, I won't let you down."

He Yuzhu is still very confident about his cooking skills.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. If you can get a standing ovation, I will reward you with a bicycle ticket."

"Then I'll be waiting, Director Li"

Why does Li Huaide care so much? It’s because there is a rumor that a deputy factory director is going to be transferred to another place to be a factory director.

I still have a great chance of getting the position of deputy factory director.

So now you have to work hard, do things, and do a good job to give yourself extra points.

He Yuzhu didn't expect to have such a gain, and he didn't lose out either.

If you can get a bicycle ticket by saying a few nice words and cooking a table of dishes, only a fool would go against you.

The big brother mentioned earlier also said that he would buy Yu Shui a bicycle when he graduated from junior high school, so now he has the ticket.

Thinking of this, he sang a little tune proudly and drank tea.

Liu Lan has taken over the job in the cafeteria, and He Yuzhu also takes good care of Liu Lan.

My sister-in-law said that Liu Lan's life was not easy. She got the job only after her father-in-law retired due to illness.

Liu Lan's husband is also a shabby guy, and they have two children, so they live a hard life.

Last week, my sister-in-law gave an order to the women's action team in the factory to beat up Liu Lan's husband and asked me to take care of Liu Lan.

"Shazhu, sure, Director Li is so polite to you."

"Liu Lan, Director Li is not being polite to me, he is being polite to my brother and sister-in-law.

I can still see clearly this matter.

The most important thing for a person is to know how capable he is.

Never overestimate your position in the eyes of others, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

"Oh, if anyone thinks you are stupid, then he is the biggest fool."

Liu Lan looked at He Yuzhu carefully and felt for the first time that this guy knew everything very well.

"Okay, Liu Lan, go get the ingredients.

Don't delay anything. Just watch over me while I cook.

I cannot accept you as my disciple, and I will not explain things to you in detail, but I don't care how much you can learn. You have to understand this. This is the rule of my sect.

It’s okay for you to watch from the sidelines, but how much you can learn depends on your understanding.”

"Thank you, silly pillar"

"Don't thank me, it was my sister-in-law who told me to do this. She also asked me to tell you.

If the one in your family dares to hit you or ask you for money again, tell my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law dealt with him, and she also asked the factory for a job as a temporary worker in the boiler room, and told you that you must come to work.

You have to experience hardship before you can get here. Go back and tell your family that they must come. If they don’t come, my sister-in-law will find a way.

Your family knows my sister-in-law's power. The director of your street office is my sister-in-law's classmate. If he doesn't come, let him clean the public toilet."

"Okay, thank your sister-in-law for me. Thank her so much."

"It's okay"

“Zhu Zi, I have a nephew, he is an honest boy, he will come here to be an apprentice after the New Year.

His name is Ma Hua, how about you accept him as your apprentice?"

"Director Ma, I should have agreed directly out of consideration for your sake.

But I can't promise you this directly, so you can let him come over first and I will observe for a while.

If it is suitable, I will accept it. If it is not suitable, I will not accept it.

Let me make it clear to you in advance, my eldest brother will also review the candidates before accepting them as apprentices. I examine other aspects while my eldest brother examines the character. Some time ago, I thought the nephew of the workshop director was a good candidate for acceptance, but my eldest brother did not allow me to accept him after investigating the situation.

You say his character is not good enough. Although my eldest brother is not a cook, my cooking skills are passed down from my family. Since my father is not around, I still have to listen to my eldest brother’s advice.”

"I understand that. I still trust my nephew's character. Director He is welcome to test him."

“It’s good that you understand. My eldest brother said that you should be cautious when accepting disciples.

Adopting someone is like accepting half a son, so you must treat him sincerely."

“Of course I understand”

Director Ma became even more excited after hearing this, and he was very confident in his nephew's character.

With the strict education from my elder brother, there will definitely be no problem.

The eldest brother has many children, and Ma Hua’s child is finally sixteen years old and can enter the factory as an apprentice.

The quota he had left in his hands was given to the Malaysian Chinese Association.

If the two brothers of the He family take a fancy to me, I will be able to have a successful life in the future regardless of whether I work in the factory or not.

I estimated that I would be transferred after the new year and go to a machine repair factory to work as the logistics director.

Before leaving, it would be a great wish of mine to be able to arrange for Ma Hua to stay here.

My eldest brother has many children and his life is hard. It’s not easy for him either. I’ll help him if I can.

I could have taken him to the machine repair shop, but it would not be a good idea to arrange for someone to go into the kitchen when I had just arrived there. Besides, I was counting on Ma Hua to learn cooking skills, so He Yuzhu was the best choice.

Originally, my old leader was planning to let me take over as the logistics director of the steel rolling mill.

But later on he said that Li Huaide took over as deputy factory director and also served as logistics director, so he had to go to another unit.

Director Ma saw it clearly that as long as the He brothers protected this factory, he would be able to work comfortably unless he did anything stupid.

Sha Zhu's cooking skills should be at level five, the reason why he hasn't upgraded is because the factory can only go up to level six.

If they go further up, they will reach the state-owned restaurant, but Shazhu doesn't want to go there, so that's why he did this.

The factory was unwilling to release it, so it provided compensation in other ways.

"Master He, Director Li asked me to tell you that we can start now."

"Secretary Chen, wait a minute, don't be impatient, tell me where the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative is from. I know where the person from the grain bureau and the textile factory is from, but I don't know the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Master He, why are you asking about this? Director Li always says that you don't talk too much, but why are you asking about this today? Isn't this bad?
It's not that I don't want to tell you, brother. You know, we secretaries are most reluctant to reveal information about our leaders."

"Secretary Chen, you don't understand. If you don't tell me where the guests are from, how can I prepare the dishes well?

Do you think it’s okay for me to serve Sichuan cuisine when guests from Yuezhou come?
It's all for work, why don't you go ask Director Li first?"

"Oh, I see. It's okay. Just do what you want. It's from Shandong.

What do I think it means? Please understand, Master He.

I just took office, and my family specifically told me not to tell anyone about my boss, where I am now, and my personal preferences, etc., all of which must be kept confidential."

"Okay, I understand. We are all here for work. We have invited so many leaders, which shows that this matter is very important to our factory.

I also want to provide a good reception so that the leaders can have a good discussion about work."

"Master He is an understanding person. Let's not talk about it for now. I still have things to do. See you later?"

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I will definitely not let you down."

Secretary Chen thought as he walked, is this the cook?
He looks big and strong, but what he says is really nice.

If you listen to what they say, you can tell from every word that they feel a sense of belonging to the factory.

I look forward to the factory getting better and better. For the factory's work, I will work harder. Master He's pure heart...

"Xiao Chen, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for a long time."

"Director, I'm sorry, I was thinking about Master He."

"He Yuzhu? What's the matter? Now that you mention it, I'm a little interested.

According to your education and experience, you shouldn't be interested in a cook, and you shouldn't be so obsessed with it."

Seeing that Director Li was interested, Secretary Chen told Director Li the exact conversation.

"After all, he is Director He's younger brother, and Director Cai is also He Yuzhu's sister-in-law. You should be more polite to He Yuzhu in the future.

Director He and his wife are not simple people. When I took office, the superiors specifically told me not to offend Director He and his wife.

The energy behind them is terrifying. Although I don’t know who is behind these two, the one behind me is so taboo, which shows that it is unknowable and cannot be understood.”

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I have been very busy during this period and I have almost asked all the leaders in the factory.

It can be seen that neither He Yukai nor others are keen on power.

As long as you don't provoke them, they will basically not join any side and pose no threat to you.

I'd better not offend myself. If I'm not keen on power, it won't conflict with my own interests, and then there's no need for me to be the bad guy.

With the cooperation of Liu Lan, He Yuzhu began his performance. After the dishes were served, He Yuzhu waited for a while while drinking tea.

What if they ask for more dishes? I can’t leave early.

Fortunately, my eldest brother can still cook simple dishes.

You don’t have to worry about food at home.

He Yuzhu finished his meal, but his leader had not finished yet, so he asked Liu Lan to ask. When he heard that he could go home, he let Liu Lan take the leftovers home.

He Yuzhu would not bring any vegetables with him. He Yukai specifically told him not to bring any vegetables back.

What about the cook not stealing the crops and not harvesting them? That's all bullshit.

If a cook goes to the master's house to cook and steal things, who would dare?

When you go out to prepare a banquet, you can bring cooked dishes, but you definitely cannot bring raw ingredients. This is especially not allowed in the factory. Taking things from the factory back home without permission is called stealing.

My elder brother and sister-in-law are both cadres, I can’t discredit them.

The most important thing is that there is no need for that at home. At worst, they can just eat at the factory. Yu Shui and Si Xiao can just go back and do it again. There is no need to cause gossip.

The He family has never been short of food. It can be seen from the faces of the He family members over such a long period of time that many of them have pale faces, while the adults and children in the He family all have rosy complexions.
