Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Although the steel rolling mill has only a few hundred people and is still far behind large factories with tens of thousands of people, its scale will expand rapidly as the aid project progresses.

However, today is the grading assessment after the public-private partnership, which is a crucial moment for everyone.

Jia Dongxu follows Yi Zhonghai closely, as if they are father and son with a deep affection.

Yi Zhonghai still regards Jia Dongxu as his retirement target, so he did not bother He Yuzhu too much, especially after his plan failed and he was kicked out yesterday.

In addition, He Yuzhu used Xu Damao to establish his prestige, and the ferocity he displayed also frightened many people. Yesterday, many people went home to discuss the matter, but now no one dares to talk about it publicly.

Some families even warned their children not to mess with He Yushui.

The workers arrived at the steel rolling mill and returned to their posts, but they did not start working immediately. Instead, they waited for the assessment to begin.

He Yuzhu came to the cafeteria: "Shazhu, where is your father?" "He ran away with that widow!" He Yuzhu answered indifferently.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. How dare He Yuzhu make up stories about his father today?

“Really, he left after get off work the day before yesterday and went to Baocheng. Don’t mention him anymore.

"He Yuzhu had a calm expression, and the people in the cafeteria looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

"Everyone!" The former canteen manager came in with a group of people, "Our factory has become a public-private partnership. Today is the grade assessment day, and these chefs will assess everyone.

“As I said before, the rating is based entirely on individual ability, and everyone competes fairly.

"After the supervisor briefed the person in charge, a man in cadre uniform came forward and said, "Dear colleagues, this is a new era..." He spoke nonstop for a long time, and He Yuzhu found it quite new.

After the person in charge finished speaking, he stepped back, and He Yuzhu realized that the man was not the chef.

Then, the chef in charge of the assessment announced: "Come one by one. To save time, the dishes assessed in the morning will be eaten as lunch.

"Who will go first?" Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward. After all, this was just a factory canteen, and He Daqing's cooking was the most famous in the past.

"I'll do it!" He Yuzhu was the first to step forward. His system showed his true strength, but the specific level of the cook was not yet clear.

But he is full of confidence!

"Well, this young man is very courageous!" The man in the cadre uniform spoke up. Although he was not a chef, he had good political literacy. "We are now the masters of the country. We should abandon old ideas and bravely show our cooking skills.

"Come on, young man, register first!"

"My name is He Yuzhu, I'm seventeen years old, the street office classified me as a third-generation hired farmer, my family has no land or shops, and I've always worked for others.

“After He Yuzhu traveled through time, he understood a lot of things.

Selling buns does not make you a businessman or a small business owner.

If you see a kid selling cigarettes on the street, would you call him a businessman?

"I graduated from elementary school, cooked the traditional Tan cuisine, and also learned Sichuan cuisine. I started working in the factory half a year ago!" He Yuzhu briefly introduced his experience.

"Oh, the family tradition is strong!" After the supervisor finished the registration, he said, "Let's get started!"

He Yuzhu looked at the chef who was in charge of the exam, and the chef said, "Let's make a stew!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "No problem!"

Then, he began to select ingredients, although he was not too picky, after all, the ingredients were all provided by the canteen.

The ingredients required for the stew are not fixed. He Yuzhu prepared potatoes, cabbage and pork.

While he was washing the ingredients, the supervisor asked again, and everyone else was watching, after all, this was a new thing.

Although the rating rules had been explained before, everyone was still unsure about their own level. After all, there had never been such a rating system before.

It would be a good idea for He Yuzhu to take the lead and for others to observe first.

He Yuzhu cleaned quickly and cleanly. Usually, such trivial work would not be done by the master chef himself, but today was a test day.

Cleaning and processing ingredients are key steps in the assessment of cooks, and there is no concept of apprenticeship for cooks.

After all, anyone can wash ingredients, and a cook's job is different from that of a skilled worker.

He Yuzhu moves quickly but with clear techniques. Next comes the knife skills, which is a better test of a person's skills.

His knife skills are naturally good, although not top-notch, but when cooking big pot dishes, fine knife skills are not necessary.

"Knock knock knock..." Cut the cabbage into shreds, cut the potatoes into cubes, and slice the pork...

Then add oil to the hot pan!

Big pot dishes require a lot of oil and salt, otherwise such a big pot of food will have no taste.

After preparing the onion, ginger and garlic, put them into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then remove them from the pot.

Next, add the pork slices into the pan and stir-fry, then add the shredded cabbage and continue to stir-fry quickly.

Fry out the moisture in the cabbage, add water as needed, then add potatoes, stir evenly, and finally add salt, stir evenly, cover the pot and turn down the heat.

"Alright!" He Yuzhu said, "Just simmer over low heat.

The chefs in charge of the assessment talked in low voices for a few words and then began to score, but the final conclusion would still need to be made after tasting.

So, a group of people waited patiently, and the person in charge of the assessment was not in a hurry either. After all, everyone had some doubts in their minds.

He Yuzhu was not worried. He had done his best and the taste would definitely be good.

After waiting for about half an hour, He Yuzhu opened the lid of the pot, and the cafeteria was immediately filled with fragrance. After all, the cafeteria was not big.

After all, there were only a few hundred people in the previous factory, so the canteen would naturally not be built too big.

The chefs who were being assessed each took a bowl, and He Yuzhu scooped half of the dish for each of them.

After they tasted, they started grading again.

"Comrade He Yuzhu has been rated as a level 7 cook!" The final announcement surprised He Yuzhu a little, as he originally thought that he could only reach the level of a level 8 cook at most.

After all, he is currently only at the intermediate level of the big pot dish, and it seems that the rating given by the system is not easy.

With He Yuzhu's leading demonstration, everyone has a clearer understanding of their own skills.

It was a job that required practice to become proficient. By comparing themselves, everyone had a general understanding of their own abilities, so they all signed up for the assessment, while He Yuzhu stepped aside.

At this point, he had nothing else to do.

Walking out of the cafeteria, He Yuzhu stretched.

Today's assessment is crucial for the future because his salary is quite high every month.

It seems that his future life should be worry-free, but he now has to consider the issue of marriage.

Although he is still young, he is not far from 30 years old and can get married in three years. This aspect must be planned in advance.

He didn't want to be like Sha Zhu in the play, who was still single at the age of nearly thirty and was led by the nose by a widow.

He is not interested in any of the women in the play, but he cannot lower his standards. He hopes to have urban household registration, a stable job, and outstanding looks.

Touching his chin, he knew that he needed help in this matter. A matchmaker was one option, and an introduction by friends was also feasible.

He Yuzhu suddenly thought of his third uncle Yan Bugui. Although this man liked to take advantage of others, his character was still acceptable.

He was reluctant to introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu, firstly because of cultural differences, and secondly because the relationship between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu was unclear.

Of course, there is also the reason that Sha Zhu is a hard-mouthed person and he offends quite a few people.

If you can give the third uncle some small favors on a regular basis, it doesn't have to be too frequent, twice a month or so is enough, this way you can win him over.

Just like when Xu Damao came back from the countryside he would always give benefits to the third uncle, and Yan Bugui would speak for him.

This is worth learning. After all, among the three uncles in the compound, only the third uncle is worth winning over.

"Comrade Xiao He!" A call suddenly came from behind.

He Yuzhu turned around and saw that the person who spoke just now seemed to be a cadre.

"Hello, comrade!" he responded generously.

"How about calling me Xiao He?" The other party seemed quite friendly.

"No problem. What's your name?" He Yuzhu was not very old, and the other party was obviously trying to be friendly.

“My last name is Zhang, and I’m the factory director’s secretary.

Today the leaders all came to the workshop to conduct the assessment in person, so I came to the cafeteria.

“It turns out that this person is the factory director’s secretary, but I’m not sure if it’s Director Yang, after all, there are still ten years before the story begins.

He was not aware of the personnel changes, but if he had a good relationship with the current leader's secretary, that would be a good thing.

The other party obviously hadn’t finished speaking: “I took a look today, and I didn’t expect that you are the best cook in the cafeteria. It seems that this skill is really passed down from generation to generation.

"You're too kind, it's just a small canteen.

"He Yuzhu said modestly, after all, this is the capital, there are many master chefs.

"The assessment only lasts one day, but our superiors will be here to give us guidance today. The canteen will have a reception in the evening, so Xiao He, you will have to be the chef!" said Secretary Zhang.

"Oh, when exactly?" He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be in charge of the special cooking today.

"Of course it's after get off work. Do you think there's something wrong with this time arrangement?" Secretary Zhang asked.

“It’s not a problem, but I have a younger sister at home, and I need to go home in the afternoon.

She is in elementary school now and finishes school early, so I can go back to prepare dinner for her and then come back to work in time.

What do you think? " He Yuzhu frankly expressed the difficulties he faced.

“That’s absolutely fine, after all, you are working overtime, and such convenience is understandable.

" Secretary Zhang heard this and realized that this was not a difficult problem.

The fact that He Yuzhu can go home to take care of his sister shows his good character.

During the subsequent chat, Secretary Zhang asked about He Yuzhu's family situation and felt sympathy when he learned that his father had run away from home.

Secretary Zhang's impression of He Yuzhu changed greatly because a 17-year-old boy could take such good care of his younger sister.

"Secretary Zhang..."

"Just call me Brother Zhang!" Secretary Zhang took the initiative to close the distance between them.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, how about we decide on the menu for dinner first?" He Yuzhu suggested, "I'm best at Sichuan cuisine, we can prepare the ingredients and seasonings first.

I don’t know where the leader is from, and whether he can eat spicy food.”

"What a coincidence! Today's senior leader is from Sichuan, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for help.

"Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "We may invite people from outside, but the leader will definitely notice it.

"Hey, what a coincidence, let's pick the ingredients first.

I will give you a list of seasonings and you can buy them according to the order at the restaurant where I learned my craft before. It will be more convenient this way.

"He Yuzhu took this opportunity to ask for seasoning.

The variety of condiments in general canteens is limited, and it was not easy to find satisfactory condiments, especially in that era.

Secretary Zhang nodded in agreement: "Okay, your idea is good.

Let's go now.

Soon, they found the former canteen manager and went to the canteen warehouse together.

After asking the participants, He Yuzhu began to carefully select the ingredients.

Then, He Yuzhu made a list of seasonings, and Secretary Zhang asked him to leave work early, even though it was not yet noon.

He Yuzhu didn't mind lunch and rode his bike straight home.

……

"Hey, Zhuzi, why are you back?" The third aunt was busy in the front yard. She was a little surprised to see He Yuzhu pushing his bicycle in.
