Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

At Liu Haizhong's house, the host and guests were all very happy, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food and wine. Even Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who were usually neglected at home, were called to the table by their father Liu Haizhong to drink and have fun together. At this moment, they were full of gratitude to Zhang Yuan. If Zhang Yuan hadn't mentioned it before, Liu Haizhong would have forgotten his two sons.

Yan Bugui enjoyed the banquet, but he was unable to express what he was worried about. His planned speech was repeatedly interrupted by Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, which made him completely confused. Zhang Yuan keenly saw the system tasks that everyone was carrying - Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao both wanted to obtain cadre status; however, compared with Liu Haizhong's straightforwardness, Xu Damao was more insidious and cunning. He seemed open-minded and cheerful on the surface, but in fact he was meticulous and elusive.

Time flies, and the National Day is coming quietly. The steel mill has already carefully prepared a grand celebration, and the scene is decorated with red flags. In order to add to the atmosphere of the event, the factory specially invited high school and junior high school students from Red Star Middle School to come and join in the fun, and also invited some cooperative units to participate. Zhang Yuan's acquaintances, such as He Yushui, Yu Haitang, Ran Qiuye and other beauties also appeared in the steel mill, adding a lot of color to this joyful occasion.

Yu Haitang was so excited that she was wearing bright and colorful clothes, jumping around beside He Yushui like a cheerful little bird. Suddenly, she stopped, pointed forward, and shouted with surprise: "Yushui, look! There is a steel rolling mill with tens of thousands of employees over there. How magnificent! Those workers look energetic and full of vitality. It's really enviable! How great it would be if I could work in such a place!"

Yu Haitang couldn't hide her joy. She was like a chirping magpie, running around and exclaiming from time to time. He Yushui, who was following behind her, was also full of expectations for the future, and was eager to work in this steel rolling mill after graduation. Because her father and brother had worked here, when she was a child, she followed her father He Daqing to work because no one was looking after her. Now seeing these familiar buildings and green plants again, memories flooded into her mind like a tide, making her feel as if she had traveled back to the past. Although life was hard at that time, the family was always full of laughter. In contrast, time flies, the world has changed, and things have changed.

"Yushui, look! That's the legendary No. 1 Canteen! I heard that Brother Zhang seems to be working in it. Do you want to go take a look together?" Yu Haitang's eyes were shining with excitement, and her slender jade fingers pointed straight at the brand new building - the No. 1 Canteen.

However, He Yushui looked embarrassed: "But... the teacher told us not to run around, and the gathering time is almost here." In fact, she also wanted to see Zhang Yuan, but she really didn't dare to disobey the order of the head teacher.

"Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of! We're just going to visit the place where the workers have their meals and feel the dining atmosphere of the steel mill employees." Yu Haitang didn't care about that. He grabbed He Yushui's hand tightly and ran straight to the cafeteria regardless of the other party's protests.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was busy testing the cooking skills of Xu Min and his group. This time, he wanted Xu Min to cook and try to make a big pot of food. Zhang Yuan stood aside and stared at Xu Min, watching him skillfully flip the spatula and add various seasonings one by one, and he would remind Xu Min carefully from time to time about the details that needed to be paid attention to.

"Okay, Master, please give me some advice." Xu Min said as he put the freshly cooked dishes into a plate and brought it to Zhang Yuan. He then pulled over a chair and asked Zhang Yuan to sit down so that he could carefully savor the dishes he had made.

Seeing Xu Min being so sensible, Zhang Yuan nodded secretly in his heart. He gently picked up a few potato shreds with chopsticks and put them into his mouth and chewed slowly. This hot and sour potato shreds tasted moderately hot and sour, and had a crisp texture. Although there were still some shortcomings, it was already quite difficult for Xu Min to make. Zhang Yuan thought: If I practice a little more and master the heat and stir-frying time, this dish can be taken to a higher level.

"Well, overall it's pretty good. Next time when you cook, remember to pay more attention to the size of the fire and control the length of time for stir-frying." Zhang Yuan nodded, expressing his affirmation and encouragement to Xu Min.

Hearing the praise from his master, Xu Min was overjoyed. He quickly took off his chef hat and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he saluted Zhang Yuan: "Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

At this time, Zhang Yuan turned to look at the fat man standing beside him, and greeted him with a smile: "Fatty, it's your turn to play."

"Master, here I come!" The fat man who was called by Zhang Yuan responded happily.

Zhang Yuan looked at this honest and lovely apprentice in front of him and said earnestly: "Try your skills and fry a plate of Chinese cabbage for everyone to taste."

"No problem, I will definitely complete the task!" the fat man replied confidently.

Being an apprentice here, every student has the opportunity to cook by themselves, which is very different from when Sha Zhu taught his students. At that time, Sha Zhu not only did not give students the opportunity to practice, but also did not allow them to ask questions. Fortunately, the fat man now does not have the rebellious intention like in the TV series, but is loyal to Zhang Yuan and respects him.

Just then, the sound of women playing came from outside the kitchen, along with two young and beautiful figures; their appearance added a lot of scenery to the entire kitchen.

"Yushui, Haitang, why are you here? There is a lot of smoke here, go quickly." When Zhang Yuan saw them, he immediately told them their names.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, our school was invited here today, so I came to find you as soon as we entered the factory." Yu Haitang said very boldly.

"Aren't you afraid that the fumes here will blacken you? Just imagine your fair and clean face turning as black as the bottom of a pot." Zhang Yuan said jokingly.

"Really?" Yu Haitang, who has always loved beauty, didn't want to turn into a big black cat. She immediately jumped up and ran outside.

"Rainwater, let's go out first..."

Before Haitang could finish shouting, she turned around and bumped into a man's arms.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Yu Haitang quickly jumped away and apologized to the other party.

"It's okay, I didn't hurt you just now, female classmate. Hello, my name is Yang Weimin." When the man saw that the person who had just bumped into his arms was a beautiful female student, he immediately showed a friendly smile and introduced himself.
