Siheyuan: Promoted to engineer, torturing and weeping animals

Hearing his flattery, his complexion immediately improved a lot.

He nodded: "That's what you said, I was born as a cook, and I practiced my craft at home since I was a child! What kind of person is he, Zhang Yi, who was born in machinery, and he knows what is cooking? "

At this time, Ma Hua, another apprentice of Shazhu, said: "But the stewed vegetables he made are really delicious! I can smell them from such a long distance. That is to say, private restaurants are not allowed now, otherwise it will be up to him With this skill, you can sell stewed vegetables!"

Ma Hua's personality is straightforward and honest, and he beats around the bush with little understanding.

It is precisely because of this that although he has been with Sha Zhu the longest, Sha Zhu would rather teach Fatty his skills than teach him.

Silly Zhu immediately became unhappy, "Ma Hua, why would people call you Mahua! Your head looks like it has been soaked in a slop bucket!"

"Our cafeteria only cooks vegetables and radishes, no meat dishes. If I had his ingredients, I would be much better than him!"

"After work today, I'll leave it to you to clean up the canteen!"

Ma Hua looked aggrieved, feeling particularly upset in his heart.

The director asked Shazhu to do sanitation alone, but Shazhu used his status as a master to distribute all the work to his apprentices.

In the past, he and Fatty divided the work, but now he does it all by himself.

Ma Hua also secretly hated: If I hadn't learned your craft yet, would I have to look at your face?It doesn't matter if you are good or bad, you just like others to flatter you!

After eating at noon, Zhang Yi slammed a wave of favorability with the leader and many workers.

Although not everyone has eaten his stewed pork, but just to share this with Zhang Yiken, everyone has a good impression of him.

Many workers who didn't eat the stewed meat still asked Zhang Yi eagerly, could they bring some more next time?

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "If there is a chance another day, I will definitely bring some over for everyone to taste!"

The workers were immediately excited.

But they don't understand that the "another day" that Zhang Yi said depends on his own mood.

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Yi went to Director Yang's office.

It wasn't that Director Yang came to him for something, but he came here on his own initiative.

But he didn't come here empty-handed. When he came, he actually took out another lunch box as if by magic.

"Director Yang, I brought this for you to taste alone, so don't hold it against me!"

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

The moment Director Yang saw the lunch box, his eyes glowed green like a weasel!

"Oh, this...how dare you do this? You're going to spend a lot of money again, right?"

Director Yang was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

It is a great pleasure in life for him to be able to eat the stewed vegetables made by Zhang Yi himself!

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Look at what you said, you have worked so hard for our rolling mill, shouldn't I be filial to you?"

Director Yang nodded, but he was very shrewd and knew that Zhang Yi would not give him gifts for no reason.

Including bringing so many dishes to the big guys today, there must be a purpose.

So he asked: "Zhang Yi, you have prepared so well today, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and stopped beating around the bush, and said directly: "Director Yang, is our rolling mill going to have dinner this month?"

Near the end of the year, every year at this time, in order to reward employees for their one-year labor, various units will find ways to distribute some living supplies, or organize a big dinner.

The tradition of the Red Star Rolling Mill is to have a large dinner at the end of each year.

At that time, tens of thousands of employees will gather together, and the meal must have meat and vegetables, so that everyone can have a good meal!

In previous years, Sha Zhu was the head chef for this dinner, but this year, Zhang Yi plans to let him change.

Chapter 128 The issue of ingredients, I'll take care of it

Factory Manager Yang heaved a long sigh when he heard what Zhang Yi said.

"This year's banquet is not very easy!"

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, but he knew why Director Yang was worried.

It is only because the country has faced a shortage of materials in the past two years, which has indirectly affected the performance of the rolling mill.

So it is indeed very difficult for tens of thousands of employees in the factory to have a good meal this year.

If it weren't for knowing these things, Zhang Yi wouldn't have come here.

But he still pretended not to know anything, and asked with a surprised face: "Oh, Director Yang, is there any difficulty?"

Director Yang shook his head.

"The overall benefit this year is not very good, and the gross profit of the steel rolling mill is negative. It is impossible to eat and drink like in previous years."

"But I think, at the very least, we have to keep the big guys busy for a whole year, and have a meal of slaughtered pigs at the end of the year, right? Everyone has to have two pieces of meat to eat, that's what it looks like!"

"But this year, plus the heavy snow this winter, where can we find so many pigs?"

Food is a very strictly controlled material at this time, let alone pork!

If you want to buy it, you have to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it with the meat ticket, and it is sold in limited quantities. There is only so much every day, and you can't buy it if you go late.

It is even more difficult to buy whole pigs.

Because there are no private pig farmers or farms at all, all are raised by rural production teams in the name of cooperatives as a whole.

The native pigs raised in the countryside are not like the later big white pigs, they are all big black pigs with a long growth cycle.

The big black pigs raised in the cooperative are also kept for the Chinese New Year to be distributed to each household, or kept for calving and breeding.

There are tens of thousands of workers in the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant. Even if each of them eats two pieces of meat, at least two thousand catties of pork is enough!

There is no way to get such a large purchase at this time.

Zhang Yi laughed in his heart after listening to Director Yang's words.

Could he not know these questions?

He looked at Director Yang, smiled and said, "Director Yang, in fact, there are ways to solve these problems."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang looked at Zhang Yi in surprise.

"You mean, you have a way to solve the dinner?"

Zhang Yi nodded.

"I have a way to get pork, and I can also get fresh vegetables. If you leave this matter to me, I can guarantee that everyone in the factory will be satisfied!"

Director Yang is very happy.

The problem of the dinner party has been his biggest headache recently, and he has never been able to think of how to solve it.

A large state-owned factory is no different than a private company. The boss does what he says.

If the dinner party is not done well at that time, the workers below will get angry, and it will be reported to the superiors, and he will be criticized.

If things get worse, the situation is likely to be even worse.

After all, there was such a precedent in the capital a few years ago, and there was also a conflict in a large steel factory because of the distribution of supplies at the end of the year.

The workers got a little, but the leading cadres all got several barrels of oil and boxes of eggs.

As a result, the workers were not happy, and directly appealed to the district with their names.

As a result, the director of the steel factory was directly fired!

After all, in this day and age, the status of workers is very lofty, otherwise why would there be such a saying as Big Brother Workers?

Director Yang smiled from ear to ear.

"Okay Xiao Zhang, if you can help me with this matter, then you have made a great contribution! I personally owe you a favor."

Zhang Yi's smile became deeper and deeper.

"After all, I'm helping the factory with things, and I'm helping the leader with things! Of course I have to work hard and work hard! There is just a small request, and the person in charge of the dinner asked me to do it!"

The dinner is the best meal in the whole rolling mill all year round.

The chicken, duck and fish that are not available on weekdays will be served at this time.

And as a cook, he also strictly adhered to the principle of "cooks don't steal, and don't harvest grains", so they can take advantage of the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits.

Usually every year at this time, Shazhu would secretly bring a lot of good things to his home and Qin Huairu's home.

The oil is taken home in a bottle, not to mention the seasoning.

Sometimes, he even dared to take two catties of meat and a whole chicken back home!

Zhang Yi took the position of the person in charge of the banquet, the purpose is to make Sha Zhu get nothing this time!

Of course, this is just done by the way.

Anyway, he only needs to go over and supervise it, and it doesn't take much effort.

But for Shazhu, this matter was enough for him to beat his feet and chest, and be angry for several months!

Factory Manager Yang laughed loudly: "What did I think it was? It turned out to be this? Hey, it's simple. This year, I will tell Zhang Damin, the director of the cafeteria, that the job will be handed over to you then!"

Zhang Yi nodded: "Then thank you very much."

Director Yang looked at Zhang Yi, as if he was waiting for Zhang Yi's next words, but Zhang Yi just looked at him with a smile, but didn't ask any more.

Director Yang was a little strange: "Zhang Yi, don't you have any other requests?"

Taking the initiative to help the rolling mill solve such a big problem, the result is only to be the person in charge of the banquet, which is too small a requirement.

Only then did Zhang Yi put his hands on the table, and said with a smile: "I have finished my request. The next thing I want to talk to you about is business matters."

"Business?"

Director Yang froze for a moment.

Zhang Yi is an engineer at the rolling mill. What business does he want to do with the rolling mill?

Zhang Yi didn't hold back, and said directly: "I will be responsible for all the ingredients used for this dinner. In fact, I will let you and the workers in the factory inspect the goods first to see how the products are. .”

"Actually, I have a source of ingredients here, which can be supplied to our factory in the future. The price is cheap, and the dishes are still fresh. More importantly, they can supply us with some chicken, duck, beef and pork every month .”
