The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Time passed quickly, Qin Huairu had already been working in the cafeteria for several days. Since Qin Huairu tried her best to be patient and did whatever Liu Lan asked her to do without any sign of talking back, she was able to gain a foothold in the cafeteria.

"Hey, why is Master He running over there while he's cooking?"

Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu and Ma Hua hiding in the small kitchen and asked curiously.

An old lady next to me explained with a smile.

"Master He is a great chef. He must not want others to see him cooking. Only Ma Hua can accompany him."

Qin Huairu suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but feel even more envious. When she came to the kitchen, she found that He Yuzhu was the one who had the final say here, so Qin Huairu didn't continue to pester him. Instead, she temporarily suppressed her thoughts in her heart and didn't implement them, which would have embarrassed He Yuzhu.

Li Huaide entertained guests at noon today, and He Yuzhu took some food away. Qin Huairu happened to see this and immediately wondered if she could have a share of the food.

Qin Huairu has already found out that there are basically no leftovers in the cafeteria now. They can only take leftovers away when the factory leaders entertain guests. Even then, Liu Lan has to distribute them, because it was Li Huaide who made the decision.

"Director, the food is served."

In the cafeteria box, Liu Lan pushed open the door and walked in with food. When Li Huaide saw her, he nodded and signaled Liu Lan that she could come in.

"Director Ma, come and try our chef's cooking skills."

Today Li Huaide is hosting a banquet for the director of the Nanluoguxiang grain store. This man is responsible for the grain supply in this area, and Li Huaide needs to treat him well.

"Then I won't be polite."

After hearing this, Director Ma did not hesitate and picked up the chopsticks to taste it.

Liu Minghui had nothing to do today, so Li Huaide called him over. There were three people at the table. Li Huaide had just asked the canteen to prepare four dishes and a soup. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed amazing.

It was an ordinary dish, but it was prepared to such a high standard, as you can tell from Director Ma’s expression.

Liu Minghui was not idle either. He picked up the bottle and filled up the glasses for several people.

"How is it, Director Ma, is it okay?"

Seeing that Director Ma didn't say anything and was just savoring the food, Li Huaide asked hurriedly.

"Yes, absolutely. Director Li has many talented people under him."

Director Ma said with emotion.

"I wonder if this chef will accept the invitation."

Director Ma asked as if he had thought of something.

Li Huaide didn't understand what was going on, but he still looked at Liu Minghui and asked, "Aren't you very familiar with Master He? What do you mean?"

Li Huaide had no idea whether He Yuzhu would accept the banquet, so he had to ask Liu Minghui.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui quickly replied: "He should have answered it. I'll tell him later. He's my brother-in-law, he won't refuse my face."

Liu Minghui explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's good. We are all family. If Director Ma wants to eat this dish tomorrow, just give me a call and I will make sure to arrange it."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide patted his chest and made a promise.

Director Ma was overjoyed after hearing this, "Thank you very much."

.....

In the kitchen, after Liu Lan came back, she smiled and said to He Yuzhu, "Guess who I met."

He Yuzhu was sitting on a recliner. It was not yet time for dinner, but the big pot of rice was already ready. Everyone was waiting for the workers to get off work and come for their meals.

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Lan say this, he immediately said something unhappily.

"Who else could it be? Liu Minghui is also at Li Huaide's banquet, right?"

He Yuzhu is now stupid, he has seen this kind of thing many times in the past two years. Whenever Li Huaide invites guests, as long as Liu Minghui is not out, he will definitely be there.

"Hey, Master He is really amazing. Section Chief Liu is indeed here too."

Liu Lan pretended to admire him.

Qin Huairu was listening at the side and also showed an envious expression. She saw how they were living, with either the best fish or the best meat. It would be great if they could all come to help the Jia family.

Qin Huairu thought of this in her heart and a silly smile appeared on her face.

"Qin Huairu, come quickly and prepare for lunch. The workers are coming soon."

At this time, someone shouted something, and Qin Huairu came to her senses. She hurried to the food window and stood there, holding a spoon and waiting.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Qin? Why are you in the cafeteria?"

Qin Huairu was serving food to people when suddenly, Xu Damao came up to her, winking and smiling.

"Xu Damao, what do you want to eat?"

Qin Huairu asked in a bad temper, the spoon hitting the vegetable bowl with a clanging sound.

"Hey, you're ignoring me, aren't you? Eat this and that."

Xu Damao then pointed out two things and started teasing Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, whose connections did you use? I'm really curious."

As soon as Xu Damao finished his words, the people queuing next to him stretched their necks and tilted their heads to eavesdrop.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu was so angry that she wanted to strangle Xu Damao to death.

His hand shook, and only a small half of the food he prepared for Xu Damao was left.

"Eat your meal."

Xu Damao laughed out loud upon seeing this, and did not care about the fact that the spoon was tipped over. He picked up the spoon and whispered something.

"Sister Qin, let's have a chat when we have time."

The voice was very low and no one else heard it except Qin Huairu.

Before he could get a reply, Xu Damao had already left.

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard.

"Zhuzi, come here."

As soon as I entered the yard, Liu Minghui called me over.

"What's the matter?"

Arriving at Liu Minghui's door, He Yuzhu asked in confusion.

"I found a job for you."

Liu Minghui told He Yuzhu what Director Ma had said at noon.

"As for the banquet, that's no problem. Leave it to me."

When He Yuzhu heard that he was asked to be the chef, of course he would not refuse.

"Okay, this is the address. You can go there on the weekend."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui told He Yuzhu the location of Director Ma's home, then gave He Yuzhu a few instructions and let him leave.

He Yuzhu left and saw Qin Huairu walking in with a dark face.

"Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you?"

The third aunt was outside and when she saw Qin Huairu like this, she asked curiously.

"Nothing, just tired from work."

Qin Huairu forced a smile and said that the third aunt didn't believe a word of this, but since Qin Huairu didn't say anything, there was nothing she could do.

Qin Huairu was in a bad mood at the moment. She had originally wanted to bring back some leftovers, but after Liu Lan cleaned up, she put them all away without sorting them out at all. Qin Huairu was very depressed about this.

Originally, she wanted to encourage everyone to join in, but it turned out that no one else had any objection. This made it impossible for Qin Huairu to implement many of her ideas, and she could only sulk alone.

Looking at Liu Minghui lying on the recliner at the door of his house, Qin Huairu wanted to go up and talk to him, but Yu Li came back at this time. Seeing that there was no chance, Qin Huairu could only leave in frustration.
