Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Chapter 46: Cancelling the “Drinking on the Job” Model

All these changes are due to Chen Fei's attention and persistence to hygiene issues.

However, just as the cafeteria was getting back on track, Qin Huairu found Chen Fei and said, "Can you persuade Sha Zhu again? He has been in a very low mood recently, and I am worried that something might happen to him."

Sha Zhu's alcoholism caused quite a stir. In order to keep Sha Zhu as her meal ticket, Qin Huairu has not had sex with him in recent days.

Standing in front of Fade Chen, the balance in Qin Huairu's heart had quietly tilted towards the man who was sweating profusely in the kitchen but always stood up at the critical moment.

She compared Chen Fei and Sha Zhu and found that Chen Fei was not only good at playing basketball, but his skills in the kitchen were also as good as Sha Zhu's.

More importantly, his calm temperament and tenacity in the face of failure made Qin Huairu see a shining point that was different from Sha Zhu.

As a widow, Qin Huairu has been trying hard to maintain her relationship with Sha Zhu. On the one hand, it is because Sha Zhu is an important member of the kitchen, and on the other hand, it is because she is afraid of loneliness.

However, as time went on, she found that her feelings for Sha Zhu were fading, and her attention to Chen Fei was increasing.

Especially after watching the game, Chen Fei's muscular body and agile movements made Qin Huairu's heart beat faster.

She couldn't help but imagine the wonderful time she would spend with Chen Fei. The passion and romance made her heart surge.

This cannot go on any longer.

You have to make a choice, choose your own future.

So, she took the initiative to invite Chen Fei to her house.

This decision was not easy for her, but she believed in her intuition and believed that Chen Fei was the one who could make her heart beat.

When Chen Fei arrived at Qin Huairu's house, he was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Qin Huairu to take the initiative to invite him here.

Looking at Qin Huairu's affectionate eyes, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

The two of them sat in the living room of Qin Huairu's house, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Qin Huairu tried to find some topics to break the deadlock, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

Standing in front of Qin Huairu, Chen Fei realized that she was like a beautiful flower, always attracting bees that came for the scent.

And if she really became his wife, she would probably bring him endless trouble and distress.

Qin Huairu's beauty seems to be natural, and her enchanting temperament always makes people want to get closer to her.

However, such a woman was not someone he could control.

What he needs is a woman who can advance and retreat with him and go through the ups and downs with him, not a woman who will only bring him trouble.

So, Chen Fei decided to reject Qin Huairu in a humorous way.

"Sister Qin, I dare not pick this beautiful flower of yours easily. I am afraid that if I pick it, I will have to live in fear all day, fearing that bees will come to snatch it away."

After hearing what Fade Chen said, Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned slightly red, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just think you are a good person and I just want to be with you."

"I'm afraid that if we stay together, it will only bring you more trouble. Look, Shazhu is so good to you, why don't you spend the rest of your life together?"

She originally thought that Chen Fei would be interested in her, but she didn't expect that he would reject her so directly.

She couldn't help but said angrily: "How can you say that? Shazhu and I are just friends."

Chen Fei said nothing more, but smiled and patted Qin Huairu on the shoulder, saying: "You are a smart woman, I believe you will make the best choice."

I don't understand why Chen Fei suddenly became so cold, and I even began to doubt whether my feelings for Chen Fei were just one-sided.

However, life is always full of uncertainties.

Qin Huairu once praised Chen Fei's egg fried rice. The golden rice grains jumped happily in the hot oil, and each grain was wrapped in the fragrance of egg and the freshness of chopped green onions. The first bite filled your mouth with mellowness and satisfaction.

When she tried to find out the secret behind this delicious dish, Fade Chen's attitude suddenly changed like a cold winter wind.

He firmly rejected Qin Huairu's curiosity on the grounds of charging fees, as if he had already seen through her intention of getting something for free deep in her heart.

Qin Huairu was deeply confused about this. Why did an ordinary dish of fried rice become an insurmountable gap between them?

Maybe it’s because the kitchen rules are strict, just like his fried rice, every detail is strived for perfection.

When he first took office as a new official, he issued an iron-fisted ban: drinking is strictly prohibited while working in the kitchen.

This rule is like a striking boundary marker, dividing the line between work and pleasure, and demonstrating his awe and dedication to his duties.

There are always people who challenge the rules, and Sha Zhu is the one who walks on the edge of the rules set by Chen Fei.

Sha Zhu is cheerful on weekdays, but his face hides a casual and lazy attitude towards life.

On the day he took office, Sha Zhu was late as usual, walking lazily and with a dazed look in his eyes. It was obvious that he had not yet fully sobered up from last night's drunkenness.

He staggered into the kitchen, picked up the wine bottle, and prepared to start his usual "drinking on the job" mode.

What greeted him was not the familiar smell of fire and wine, but Fade Chen's eyes as cold as a knife.

Standing in front of the stove, Chen Fei tapped the edge of the pot with the iron spoon in his hand, giving a crisp warning.

His face was stern, and he spoke word by word: "You should be aware of the new rules. This is a kitchen, not a tavern. No alcohol is allowed during working hours."

Sha Zhu was stunned, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and he woke up instantly.

He looked at the wine jug in his hand, then at Chen Fei, with an awkward smile on his face. He silently put the wine jug back to its place and started his slightly negative day.

Qin Huairu watched this scene from afar, and understood Chen Fei's dedication to work, and also sympathized with Sha Zhu's helplessness in the face of change.

Everyone has his or her own way of life and his or her own principles.

Chen Fei established his authority through rules, Sha Zhu drowned his sorrows in wine, and she herself, perhaps, just wanted to find a little fun in her dull life, a secret recipe for fried rice that could comfort her in her busy life.

Life does not always go as we wish. Some things, no matter how much we desire them, can only be seen but not touched through a thin layer of window paper.

Qin Huairu sighed softly, turned and left.

The back figure is stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, carrying with it a hint of loneliness, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of exploration of the unknown.

The secret of egg fried rice may never be known, but the ups and downs of life will slowly cook into your own unique taste with every attempt, every failure, and every persistence.

Inside the factory, the canteen kitchen, which is filled with steam and fragrance, is a holy place where workers can find solace after their daily work.

This originally peaceful and harmonious space was shrouded in an invisible tense atmosphere. It all originated from a conflict between Chen Fei, the backbone of the kitchen, and the chef Sha Zhu.

Chen Fei is known for his rigorous, strict and iron-fisted management.

His existence is like a sharp sword, guarding the order and rules of the kitchen at all times.

That day, he stood in front of the stove like a sculpture, his eyes as sharp as torches, pointing directly at Sha Zhu who was busy.

"Silly Zhu! Do you know where this is? This is the kitchen, not your private territory where you can do whatever you want! I, Fade Chen, am the authority here!"

His words were like thunder, striking directly at people's hearts.

Sha Zhu is a helpful chef who is well-liked by his co-workers.

At this moment, he became the target of public criticism.
