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

"I plan to promote you to level eight next month, and you will be the monitor of the second cafeteria, with a monthly subsidy of two yuan.

Hearing this, Nan Yi was overjoyed. The canteen director was such a good person! He said gratefully, "Thank you so much.

However, Nan Yi then raised the issue of accommodation: “After all, I lived in the dormitory of the machine repair factory before.

"This is an easy question. You can live in our factory dormitory first, and I will contact the street office to see if there are any vacant houses.

"Ma Feng explained.

When Nan Yi heard that there was a house to be allocated, he was immediately happy. After all, their property had been confiscated, so how could living in a dormitory be considered a home? Nan Yi was very grateful to the canteen director for taking such good care of him.

Ma Feng then took him to the logistics department to arrange a dormitory for him. Because there were many people in the steel rolling mill, dormitories were usually shared by multiple people.

After making all the arrangements, Ma Feng went straight to the fitter's workshop and sent someone to call out Yi Zhonghai.

"Master Yi, I have something to talk to you about.

"Ma Feng said, "Last time you asked about the chef. Today, a chef came to the factory. He is good at making royal meals. Unfortunately, our factory can't make such dishes. Even if we can, will the leaders accept it?"

“He is currently staying in the dormitory.

By the way, Master Yi, do you live in the compound? Are there any vacancies there?" Ma Feng continued to ask.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, then he calmed down, "I'll go back and ask, how many people are there in their family?" He was concerned about the size of the house.

“He’s the only one left, his family background is complicated, and now he’s the only one left, so he just needs to eat his fill.

"Ma Feng explained," He is not married yet, so one room is enough.

Master Yi, please go back and ask around, and I will go to the street office to talk to them then.

“Okay, leave it to me.

"Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, his heart full of anticipation. The arrival of a single chef was truly a godsend for him.

He can take this opportunity to deal with He Yuzhu and find someone to support him in his old age.

This person showed up just in time.

Yi Zhonghai has a strong desire for control. In the play, he intends to find Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu to take care of him in his old age, and even involves Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

When Lou Xiao'e returned with Sha Zhu's son, he also prevented Sha Zhu from divorcing Qin Huairu, hindering their family reunion.

This person acted extremely selfishly, using Sha Zhu's efforts to seek benefits for himself. Not only did he have someone to provide for himself in his old age, he also gained a lifelong good reputation.

And what did Yi Zhonghai really give? Nothing!

Although he gained a good reputation, Qin Huairu also benefited a lot from it.

Sha Zhu helped her to build connections, and the money for the nursing home came from Lou Xiao'e.

Think about it, Qin Huairu enjoyed Sha Zhu's salary and real estate, while the cost of the nursing home was borne by Lou Xiaoe. She took all the advantages and fame.

He Yuzhu will leave here sooner or later. He is not obsessed with the house and will sell it when the time comes.

There was no need for him to get entangled with these people here. Although the courtyard house might be valuable in the future, the property rights issue of the slum was also worrying.

His target is the commercial district near Zhengyangmen, especially Daqianmen, which is the ideal place for his development and there will be a lot of population movement there in the future.

After the storm has subsided, he can make plans in advance. Opening a restaurant is the best choice. Sichuan cuisine is of high quality and low price, suitable for mass consumption.

At the same time, this will also help him improve his cooking skills, then expand the hot pot chain and establish his own catering company, which is enough.

He Yuzhu's idea is very simple. He has no ambition to become the richest man. He just wants to build a stable and reliable catering business.

As for his children's future, he will let them decide for themselves.

Even if they don't learn cooking, he can still accept apprentices and promote Sichuan cuisine.

As for the Tan family cuisine, it was naturally passed down by the Tan family, so he didn't need to worry too much.

The He family has a long history of cooking, and without the help of the system, he might not have chosen this line of work.

However, this system is progressing slowly. Limited by food ingredients and customer base, his improvement speed is very slow, and he is unwilling to improve within the system space. It only provides some conveniences in the initial stage.

The cafeteria was the same as usual, He Yuzhu pointed at Ma Hua cutting vegetables and said, “You cut it pretty well, but you need more practice.

Now you can try the stove.

"Ma Hua asked in surprise: "Master, is this true?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Have you remembered the proportions of the big pot dishes I asked you to be responsible for?" Ma Hua nodded quickly, "Yes, Master!" He Yuzhu continued, "Okay, you try it today, I will watch you.

I want to see your progress within a month. If you can ** to the kitchen, you will be considered a formal employee.

Ma Hua is grateful.

As He Yuzhu's apprentice, he had the opportunity to become a regular employee quickly, which made the apprentices around him envious.

Unlike the original employees of the steel mill, they did not start as junior cooks when they first arrived, but rather worked as kitchen helpers, responsible for handling food and doing heavy physical work.

They couldn't even do the job of chopping vegetables, but after Ma Hua was accepted as an apprentice, he started directly doing these jobs and was also responsible for food processing.

However, He Yuzhu does not need to recruit more disciples immediately, as everything depends on character.

As Ma Hua is a big guy, He Yuzhu let him become a master first, so that he can help train apprentices and provide guidance on the basics in the future.

Liu Ben was jealous, but He Yuzhu confiscated it, which made Liu Ben angry, but he never reflected on his own problems.

He came with Ma Hua, so why did Ho Yu-chu only accept Ma Hua? The reason behind this is intriguing.

He Yuzhu did not do this simply because of the plot, but after a period of observation, he found that Ma Hua was hardworking and conscientious, while Liu Ben was opportunistic. The gap between the two was noticeable to anyone with a discerning eye in the cafeteria.

Liu Lan came over and said to He Yuzhu, "Master He, the new chef in the second canteen is called Nan Yi. It is said that he is the successor of palace cuisine. Before liberation, his family had the name 'Jia Ya He Ju'.

"Nan Yi?" He Yuzhu was slightly stunned. This name surprised him a little, as if it was another setting integrated into a historical drama.

"But why did Nan Yi come to the steel plant? Shouldn't he be pursuing Ding Qiunan?"

He Yuzhu frowned and thought about it. Although the time was difficult to determine, it had nothing to do with him.

Nan Yi's final fate has nothing to do with him.

"Master He?" Liu Lan called softly when she saw that he was silent.

He turned to look at her and replied, "Well, I remember there is no such chef in Sijiu City, so I guess his skills are just average.

"Aren't you afraid?" Liu Lan asked.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Can our canteen make high-end cuisine like imperial court cuisine?"

Liu Lan was stunned. She was indeed not very clear about this: "I am not very clear.

"You are always speculating and you know nothing about chefs.

"In order to calm people's hearts, He Yuzhu decided to explain: "Palace cuisine has extremely high requirements from the selection of ingredients to the seasoning.

The ingredients come from all over the country, even some of the state banquet level.

“Our country has only held one state banquet, which was for representatives from all over the country, and it has not been held since then.

He continued, “The reason is simple: the cost is too high.

If the factory could really make imperial cuisine, the director and secretary would probably have to pack up and leave the next day.

"Let's not talk about the craftsmanship, let's just talk about a Sichuan dish. It only costs a few cents. Do you think you can make it to the level of imperial court cuisine?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Oh, I see.

"Liu Lan suddenly realized," There are so many details to pay attention to.

"Look, my family has inherited Tan cuisine, and I learned Sichuan cuisine, but why do I only cook Sichuan cuisine and not Tan cuisine?" He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Tan cuisine is also known as official cuisine, and I can't even cook this kind of food, let alone palace cuisine.

“Don’t worry, as long as my skills are known in the Forty-Nine City, no one can surpass me.

he said confidently.

"Of course. Master, how many people can match your craftsmanship?" Ma Hua echoed excitedly.

“Okay, focus on your work.

"He Yuzhu glared at him, reminding his apprentice not to speak carelessly, after all, MCA has not yet truly graduated.

“People are at peace now, and everyone is busy with their own things. MCA, you can cook a big pot of food before lunch.

Yi Zhonghai is taking action. There is indeed an vacant house in the compound, located on the right side of the gate, which is the gatehouse.

The room is of similar size to the back house, but the light is a little dim and no one has visited it for a long time.

Yi Zhonghai took a fancy to this house and planned to take this opportunity to get close to Nan Yi and slowly train him to become his own support.

Nan Yi's background is actually better. He comes from a poor family and has no one at home, unlike He Yuzhu who has a sister and a father.

If conditions permit, Yi Zhonghai plans to let Nan Yi take over He Yuzhu's position in the factory, but he did not tell Ma Feng directly about the house.

Although the conditions of the gatehouse are average, due to its special geographical location, the space outside the gate is actually a small courtyard.

Although it cannot enjoy direct sunlight, the open space at the door is large enough to accommodate one or two bungalows. Yi Zhonghai wants to negotiate with the neighbors to include this space in the house. After all, leaving it vacant is a waste.

Besides, Nan Yi is in urgent need of housing. He already has a big house, and the old lady also has a big house in her compound. These can all be left to Nan Yi in the future, on the condition that Nan Yi must be obedient.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai will influence Nan Yi in his own way, and his first priority is to learn more about Nan Yi's situation.

To this end, he decided to go to the previous machinery repair shop to investigate in order to delay time, and at the same time, he became more urgent to reply to Ma Feng.

It was a small factory with only a few hundred people, whose main responsibility was maintenance. As an eighth-level fitter, Yi Zhonghai enjoyed a high reputation in the factory, so it was naturally easy for him to inquire about the situation.

In less than three days, he had found out Nan Yi's background. Nan Yi did not have a good reputation in the repair shop.

This was exactly what he wanted, so he went to find Ma Feng.

"Director Ma Feng, I have heard the news. There is only one vacant room in our compound, which is the guard room next to the street gate. Because of its poor location, no one has taken it over, so it has been idle until now.

"Yi Zhonghai said: "But houses are very tight now, especially in the past three years, there are too many refugees.

Ma Feng nodded and responded, “I know, even if the location is not good, it is still a house.

"Then he said, "Comrade Nan Yi currently does not have his own house. He is lucky to have one. Let's put it this way... I will communicate with the street office and then tell Comrade Nan Yi the news.

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, I can take him to have a look.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Master Yi.

"Ma Feng and Yi Zhonghai each have their own agenda, but their common goal is to use Nan Yi to contain He Yuzhu.

Ma Feng knew a little about the situation, but Yi Zhonghai knew nothing about the job of a chef.

Therefore, Ma Feng decided to stand aside and watch. He saw that there was a conflict between Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu. Otherwise, why were they so active in looking for a chef? As an eighth-level fitter, Yi Zhonghai had a higher status in the factory. It was more appropriate for Yi Zhonghai to take the lead while he himself hid behind the scenes and observed.

Nan Yi was completely unaware of this and everything had been cleverly arranged.

Afterwards, Ma Feng came to the second cafeteria. When Nan Yi saw him, he immediately went up to greet him: "Director Ma Feng!"

“Nan Yi, there is new progress on your house.

"Ma Feng smiled.

Nan Yi was excited: "Really?"

“Of course, but there is a shortage of houses right now, and you should know that even when factories build houses, you are not given priority.

"Ma Feng continued.

Nan Yi nodded in agreement. He knew his situation very well. It was already good to have a house, at least it was his own.

Ma Feng then said: "The house is located at No. 95 Tongluoguxiang, and it is a guardhouse. Although the location is ordinary, there is a small open space in front of the door.

Master Yi from our factory, Yi Zhonghai, lives there, and it was he who helped us find out the information.

I'll contact the street office right away.

“If you want, you can go and have a look first, Master Yi will take you there.

Nan Yi had lived in a big house before, and he knew that the guard room was not in an ideal condition, but in a big environment like the city of Beijing, how could he expect more houses? He accepted it without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to take this one, it's better than the dormitory.

“Okay, that’s settled.

You can go take a look first, tidy it up and see if there is anything that needs repairing.

"Ma Feng continued.

“Yeah, that’s right.

I really should go over and take a look. I can't move in and not be able to live there.

Then I'll trouble you, Director.

" Nan Yi agreed.

"It's not a problem. Come with me to find Master Yi, and we'll go take a look together after get off work.

"Ma Feng took Nan Yi to find Yi Zhonghai, and they agreed to meet at the factory gate after get off work.

On the way, Nan Yi said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master Yi, I am sorry to trouble you.

When I move in, I will definitely treat you to a good meal in return.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, “It’s just a piece of cake, Nan Yi.

But you have to know that the compound is different from the dormitory, and the interpersonal relationships here are more complicated.

When you move in, I will arrange a dinner party and invite the elders in the courtyard, such as the second uncle and the third uncle.

Nan Yi was stunned and asked, "What do the second and third uncles do?"

“Oh, you’ve never lived in a compound.

"Yi Zhonghai explained," Our compound is very large, with three entrances, a back house in the front, and no back house in the back.

There are about twenty households and more than one hundred people living there.

For safety reasons, each courtyard in the alley has three uncles. I am the first uncle, in charge of the middle courtyard; Liu Haizhong is the second uncle, in charge of the back yard. He is a seventh-level technician.

The third uncle is an elementary school teacher and is in charge of the front yard.

Now my main job is to mediate neighborhood disputes and help neighbors in need.
