The world started from mixing in the courtyard

Chapter 72 The old leader has passed this level

The old leader smiled and looked He Yuzhu up and down.

Not bad.

The thing people fear most is not being able to see their own identity clearly, not being able to put themselves in the right position, and being overbearing.

I'm giving you a compliment, you can't be ungrateful!
It is obvious that Sha Zhu is consistent in his words and deeds and knows his duties.

"Xiao Song, bring the dishes up." The old leader then looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Silly Zhu, sit down."

Xiao Song naturally went to serve the dishes.

He Yuzhu sat down obediently.

"Why haven't I heard of the saying that guests come if they are invited and don't come if they are not invited? Is this also what your master taught you?" The old leader looked at He Yuzhu with burning eyes.

He Yuzhu had already thought of an explanation for this. He smiled shyly and said, "Old leader, I forgot who said this. I was still young at that time. My father was also a chef and often took me out to cook. I only vaguely remember meeting an old man somewhere. I guess he is dead now. He touched my head and said this. I asked him what he meant. He said it was the same as a doctor not knocking on the door."

"I asked again why doctors didn't have to knock on the door. He laughed and kicked me."

The old leader laughed after hearing this, but soon frowned and said, "It seems that this old man has been through a lot."

No matter whether it is a chef or a doctor, if they are top-notch, the people serving them are not ordinary people. If you get close to them and there is a problem, you will be asking for trouble and seek death.

"Then you will do what you are told?" the old leader asked again.

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly: "It just feels like it makes sense. Since it makes sense, I will do it. For so many years, if no one invites me, I will not come to someone's house and take the initiative to cook."

Well, Sha Zhu used to be a manly person. If you don’t invite a man, wouldn’t it be cheap for him to come to your house?

"A senior officer hears the truth and practices it diligently." The old leader said, and suddenly smiled: "Silly Zhu, I didn't realize that you are actually a senior officer!"

He Yuzhu naturally knew where this sentence came from, but he looked confused and asked, "Listing? What does that mean?"

"Haha——" the old leader laughed again.

Just at this moment, Xiao Song brought all the dishes.

The old leader picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. The taste still made him very satisfied.

He Yuzhu saw that his old leader had started eating, and then he took a bite too.

"Shazhu, let me ask you, after you went back with Xiao Li last time, did he promote you?" The old leader asked casually while eating.

He Yuzhu said: "I have been promoted. I am the monitor of Class 2 in our No. 1 Canteen. I have been on the radio and on the bulletin board!"

"Squad leader?" The old leader laughed and put down his chopsticks: "Why is he just a squad leader? Didn't Xiao Li promise you anything else?"

He Yuzhu told the truth: "He promised me the position of canteen director. He wanted to find a reason to promote me, but I didn't agree. After all, I am only a ninth-level cook. I am embarrassed to be the canteen director!"

The old leader was still not convinced and asked again: "Just a canteen director?"

He Yuzhu also put down his chopsticks and complained, "Old leader, Director Li is talking nonsense. He even asked me to manage the steel mill with him. I said, I'm just a cook, who should I manage? People are not potatoes or carrots, how can I manage them? I told him, I won't touch anything I can't take down!"

The old leader then nodded. He knew Li Renhua's temper.

I just didn’t expect He Yuzhu to be so well-behaved!

There is no delusion at all! My affection for Sha Zhu grows more and more!
"Xiao Li wants to promote you, but you don't agree. What if I want to promote you?" The old leader also became interested and looked at He Yuzhu with a smile.

He Yuzhu immediately thought about it, and then said, "Since it's the old leader who asked, I must agree. But——"

When the old leader heard He Yuzhu's agreement, his brows frowned.

But then he heard it.

"But you need to give me more than 20 years!" said He Yuzhu.

The old leader's frown suddenly relaxed, as if he had been fooled. He pointed at He Yuzhu and asked angrily and amusedly, "Tell me why I gave you more than 20 years? More than 20 years, and you can even ask for it? Who can wait for you for so long?"

He Yuzhu raised his head and asked solemnly: "Old leader, how is my cooking?"

The old leader nodded: "Comparable to a famous chef, or even better!"

"That's right! After more than 20 years, my cooking skills have reached such a level that even you praise. If you want to promote me, you have to give me 20 years. I have to learn the knowledge in this area. Otherwise, I won't agree." He Yuzhu said with a simple and serious face.

The old leader’s favorability towards me really increased dramatically!
"You, you, you are really talking nonsense! Can't you study and work at the same time? Have you forgotten that you grow through learning?" The old leader seemed to really want to promote Sha Zhu, and instead started to argue about the truth.

He Yuzhu naturally didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said stubbornly, "I am a single-minded person. I can't split my attention. Study is study, work is work. I don't have the brains to do two things at the same time." Then he changed the subject and said, "However, old leader, you also reminded me today that although I am a famous chef, I must have talents in other aspects. From today on, I will study hard. Twenty years later, old leader, remember what you said today and must support me!"

"Famous chef?" The old leader looked at He Yuzhu almost dotingly, as if he was looking at his own nephew.

"Okay! I promise you, in twenty years, or even less than twenty years, when you feel that you have enough knowledge, come to me and I will definitely give you a future!" The old leader was very happy and couldn't help but fantasize about it.

The old leader encourages learning?
Isn’t this a beautiful story?
Then he turned around and said, "Xiao Song, go get the wine out of the cabinet. How can we have food without wine?"

Xiao Song looked at him in amazement.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It's amazing that a small cook could please the old leader so much.

Make him crazy!

Soon, Xiao Song brought over the red wine.

The alcohol content of red wine is generally not high, and He Yuzhu immediately started toasting with his old leader.

During this period, He Yuzhu would occasionally refute his old leader's words to a limited extent, and the two of them talked like friends.

About an hour passed.

He Yuzhu looked at the old leader who was already a little drunk and said, "Old leader, you can't drink anymore."

“What? My alcohol tolerance is the best in the army…” The old leader was about to say how good his alcohol tolerance was.

But He Yuzhu stood up, pointed at the wine bottles and glasses, and said, "Comrade Xiao Song, the old leader can't drink anymore, you put these away!" Then he looked at the old leader, "Old leader, I'll come over when I have time. If you miss me, send someone to call me. You really can't drink anymore, rest early, I'm going back."

After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up his lunch box and turned away.

The old leader was still unsatisfied and somewhat moved, so he scolded, "You little bastard, you're controlling me too?"
