Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Xiao Weiguo looked a little tired after working in the restaurant all day, but when he saw the RMB in the cash box, his tiredness instantly disappeared.

"Chairman Xiao, you have earned nearly a year's salary in just one day. If this trend continues, our family..."

Qin Jingru looked at the money box with shining eyes, and she wished she could get in and count how much money she had earned.

But Xiao Weiguo smiled awkwardly, "My silly wife, I think you and Sha Zhu are siblings who have been separated for many years!"

Qin Jingru blushed and looked confused.

"I……"

"As long as we open the door for business, not to mention the water, electricity and rent expenses, just think about how much money it will take to support the dozen people in the kitchen! Add the cost of buying vegetables and the shipping fee, and after a day's calculation... we should still be able to make a profit."

After hearing what Xiao Weiguo said, Qin Jingru looked around. The waiters in the front hall and the auntie in charge of cleaning, these are all expenses!

"Weiguo, how about this, I'll come to the store to help out later, and we can spend less money! This will save us money in the end."

Before Qin Jingru could finish speaking, Xiao Weiguo quickly waved his hand to resolve the issue.

"No, the store is so busy that I have to look after it. Besides, there are two children at home who need you to take care of them. I will be responsible for fighting in the front, and you will be responsible for logistics in the rear."

"Besides, if you start this, I'm afraid...some people will try their best to get in!"

Qin Jingru was only thinking about saving money and didn't take anything Xiao Weiguo said to heart.

Bang Geng is on his first day at the factory today, and he looks radiant and energetic.

In the kitchen, he did not become anxious or arrogant because of his relationship with Sha Zhu, and was very humble.

Sha Zhu even directly arranged him to be with his first disciple Ma Hua, who personally took care of him and they were very harmonious.

"Bang Geng, you've grown up so much now. Time really makes people grow old! I remember when you were six or seven years old, you came to the kitchen to steal soy sauce, and the chef picked up the rolling pin and beat you! How old were you at that time?"

Ma Hua sighed as he cleaned up.

As I was talking, I almost collapsed before I could continue.

In a blink of an eye, he had been working at the steel rolling mill for more than ten years, following Sha Zhu as an apprentice, with full concentration and no second thoughts.

But what is the result!

The master is permanent, but the apprentices are transient. A master recruits a lot of apprentices in the name of learning skills, but only a few of them stay in the end.

Not only do you fail to learn any real skills, you also get a temporary worker's salary every month, doing the hardest, dirtiest and most tiring work, and you can't even get a permanent job if the work you don't like is satisfactory. If this torture continues, there will be very little left.

There are quite a few elderly people who stayed here before and planned to retire in the steel mill.

Bang Geng is also very down-to-earth. He talks about his relationship with Sha Zhu all the time, but on the other hand he also claims that he will try his best to stay.

"Brother Hua, I understand your suffering... I also know that my silly dad has only been nice to you in appearance over the years. Don't worry, I will definitely learn from you. If my silly dad can teach me a trick or two, I will tell you everything later!"

"We two brothers are now on the same boat, helping each other."

Ma Hua, a rough guy, felt warm in his heart when he heard Bang Geng say this.

After all, it hits the nail on the head!

Throughout the whole day, Banggeng followed Mahua's instructions, peeling potatoes, washing vegetables, cleaning, and putting away the chopping board and other groceries.

Although I didn't have any back pain at the end of the day, I was sweating all over from being busy.

"Oh my waist!"

It was almost time to get off work, and Banggeng was responsible for scrubbing the floor of the kitchen. As soon as he finished cleaning and stood up, he heard a cracking sound and it seemed that his waist was sprained.

"My ancestor, it's only the first day and you're shirking your responsibilities? These are the most basic jobs in the kitchen. All the brothers who came before you have been doing this for a year or so!"

"Take it easy. There's a lot of time ahead. Save some energy for yourself."

Ma Hua smiled and handed over a cigarette, and also passed one to Bang Geng.

The two of them squatted on the ground secretly and started to eat with big gulps.

"Brother Hua, didn't we come here to learn a trade from my stupid dad? Why do we have to do these chores?"

Ma Hua raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a hint of a worldly smile, but he still felt that Banggeng was too young and naive.

"There is only one word, that is, it is work demanded! If the factory needs us to do it, then we must rise to the challenge and complete the work assigned to us by the organization without complaint..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause!

Ma Hua and Bang Geng were so scared that they quickly stood up. Bang Geng put out the cigarette butt between his fingers and looked down at Ma Hua, fearing that he would expose them.

But unexpectedly, MCA came away empty-handed, apparently having successfully destroyed the evidence.

After a closer look, they saw that the people standing in front of them were Sha Zhu and the canteen director Wang Kuirong!

Ma Hua grinned nervously, and although he looked very reserved, he also showed a good attitude.

Bang Geng looked at this and that stupidly, and only he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sha Zhu and the director smile.

Looks like he wasn’t caught!

"Well said, Ma Hua! Sha Zhu, your little apprentice is pretty good! He has a high level of ideological awareness, can think from the factory's perspective, has high moral integrity, and is a talent!"

Wang Kuirong was in a very good mood and praised Ma Hua a lot.

Ma Hua felt a little embarrassed by the praise, but Sha Zhu smiled even happier with his big yellow teeth bared.

The apprentice was praised, which shows that I taught him well!

"Director, don't worry. Under my leadership, the ideological awareness of our kitchen staff has improved a lot. They not only abide by the rules and regulations set by the factory, but also complete them very well and never complain!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the Second Canteen was so good under the leadership of Sha Zhu, Wang Kuirong couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Hey, is this the new comrade? He looks very energetic! What's his name?"

Wang Kuirong pointed at Banggeng and asked him a question with a smile. Shazhu waved his hand and signaled Banggeng to introduce himself.

"Hello, Director Wang. I'm the new apprentice Bang Geng. I want to learn authentic Tan family cuisine from my master!"

Wang Kuirong listened and smiled silently and nodded, but within two seconds, his smile disappeared.

"You...what's your name?"

Sha Zhu was a little nervous, "Director, he is awesome! My...son!"

Wang Kuirong's face suddenly became long, "Great? Yes, I've heard of it before! It's really different when I see it today!"

"Follow your father and work hard in the kitchen. Remember, don't do anything tricky, otherwise you will bring trouble to your father!"

Banggeng's name was very famous in Nanluoguxiang, especially the fact that he was sent to a juvenile detention center, the rumors were even more outrageous.

Rumor has it that stealing is just a small matter. His behavior is extremely bad and he is a typical gangster.

So the stories of the steel mill workers who lived in Nanluoguxiang spread throughout the factory!

At first, Qin Huairu still protected the child, but later, as the child became more and more outrageous, she completely gave up resistance.

You guys say yours, it has nothing to do with me anyway, so Wang Kuirong is very familiar with this name.
