Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Chapter 36 Winning People's Hearts 2

Long before Director Ma came to work, Sha Zhu had looked for him, hoping that Director Ma could transfer him back to the canteen. Now Sha Zhu was doing dirty and tiring work, and got little salary. How could it be as comfortable as being the king in the canteen? And now there was another burden, Jia Zhang. Although Yi Zhonghai often reminded him to be filial to the elderly and respect elders, he was not stupid. He coveted Qin Huairu, not Jia Zhang. Besides, Jia Zhang's words were very unpleasant, so he was unwilling to respect such an elder, unless it was Qin Huairu, he would be 100% happy in his heart.

Director Ma was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was like an idiot on weekdays. He always looked down on him as the director. Not only did he make a fuss, but he also made him lose prestige among all the cafeteria employees. Now they knew to beg him, so what was he doing before? So, Director Ma made up his mind not to let Sha Zhu come back. When he heard Liu Lan telling tales, his first reaction was to comfort Zhang Yuan. He couldn't let him get angry and run away, otherwise Sha Zhu, this useless beast, would give him a cold shoulder again.

Now that he sees that Zhang Yuan is not only generous but also willing to teach his apprentice cooking for free, Director Ma is even more determined to keep Zhang Yuan.

"Director Ma, do you have any reception tasks today?" Zhang Yuan saw that Director Ma came to the kitchen to do more than just ask a few simple questions, so he asked him if he had any tasks.

"I haven't received any notification from the office yet." Director Ma replied, shaking his head.

Then after a round of inspection, he saw that the rest of the people listened to Zhang Yuan very much, so he left with peace of mind.

Liu Lan did not expect Zhang Yuan to let go of what happened just now so easily. If Zhang Yuan had said something bad about the two masters, Director Ma would probably have stood up for him immediately. Seeing that Zhang Yuan did not do so, Liu Lan also became interested in Zhang Yuan.

"Master Zhang, I didn't expect you to teach cooking for free. Aren't you afraid that your apprentice will starve to death if you teach him?"

"The chef will never starve to death, and cooking is not a rare skill. If everyone is willing to learn, I am willing to teach. I cannot disappoint everyone's enthusiasm for learning. Instead, we must make progress together."

"well said!"

At this time, everyone listened to Zhang Yuan's words and applauded.

"Okay, as I said just now, as long as you have time, you can come and ask me if you want to learn. Try to pass the worker level exam so that you can get a raise and let your family eat better."

Zhang Yuan's words touched everyone's heart. Everyone who works here wants to learn a skill, pass the exam early, and feed their family in the future. It is only when they meet a chef like Sha Zhu who always hides something and prevents others from making progress together.

"Also, as a team leader, I still have something to say to everyone, which is about flipping the wok. I know that everyone's life is not easy, but the workers have it even harder. They do the heaviest and most tiring work every day, and they have to support their families just like us. So, put yourself in their shoes, and I ask everyone to stop doing this from now on."

"But if we don't flip the spoon, what will we do in the future?"

"Didn't I just say that I will teach you the craft, and once you learn the craft, it won't be a problem to pass the exam. This way, your salary will also be high. Isn't this a better way to solve the problem?"

After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, the people present felt that they made sense. Although they could not see the benefits immediately, when they thought of the workers' difficulties, they still obeyed Zhang Yuan's request.

At noon, when the workers came to get their meals, they were extremely surprised to find that the kitchen helper, who usually stirred the spoon, did not have any hand shaking, and he took a full spoonful of food.

"What happened? Is your hand healed?"

"What's wrong? You're usually too harsh when you tell me to stop. Are you a little uncomfortable now?" asked the kitchen helper with a smirk.

"You know what, I'm a little uncomfortable with this. It's the first time in all these years that I've seen the food container so full." The worker, who knew him, said jokingly.

"Okay, that's it for today. I'll pay attention next time. I'll also tell other colleagues. I'll treat you the same way in the future."

"No, don't do this!"

The kitchen helper's words frightened him so much that he quickly shrank his neck.

"Tell me, what happened in your kitchen?"

"No, the new squad leader told us not to flip the spoon anymore."

"Hey, that's a good thing."

"Yes, at least we can have a full stomach. In the past, that damn idiot Zhu often made us hungry. The more we talked about him, the more severe his revenge became. He would shake half a spoonful of food directly into vegetable juice. It was really infuriating."

"That's right, he deserves to be transferred to the cleaning team."

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson and let him experience how powerful we, the working class, are."

"count me in."

The words just now caused resentment among the workers around. They had been knocked over the spoons by Sha Zhu many times when they were getting their meals. And they couldn't blame Sha Zhu, as this guy was very vindictive. The workers who were targeted by him never had a full meal since that day. In the end, they bought a pack of cigarettes and apologized to him before they let it go. But there were also times when Sha Zhu didn't accept the apology at all. In the end, the workers were forced to either ask their friends to help them get their meals or go to other canteens farther away to get their meals.

"But, you know what, this dish is really delicious."

"Yes, I'll go get another one later and take it home."

After the workers took a few bites of the food, they went back to line up. The food in the canteen was cheaper than outside and more juicy. They would take one portion home and, after finishing the dish, the remaining juice could be saved until morning, and they could heat it up and eat it with steamed buns and dip it in it.

Even after get off work, Zhang Yuan stayed and cleaned with others. He did a thorough cleaning and made the entire third canteen look brand new. It was very pleasing to the eye and gave people a sense of accomplishment. It also made everyone feel that Zhang Yuan was not as contemptuous as other chefs.

Zhang Yuan checked the system. In addition to gaining rich skill experience today, he also successfully completed the task. After receiving the reward, Zhang Yuan used it immediately.

After his cooking skills reached level 5, Zhang Yuan felt that his level should be similar to Sha Zhu's, or slightly lower. If he continued to perform like this, he would soon surpass Sha Zhu.

When Zhang Yuan returned to the courtyard, another trouble was waiting for him.

The door lock of his house was broken open and he was robbed.
