The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Li Huaide smoked a cigarette, smiled and nodded at Liu Minghui, saying: "That's true, but after all, we didn't put in much effort this time, it's just a little troublesome, and they also need to buy it according to the purchase price, right? It's not a loss."

Li Huaide was still smiling as he spoke. In his opinion, this was a good thing. This way, all the factories in the old city would definitely accept his favor. If they needed help in the future, they would feel embarrassed to refuse him.

"Hey, you're the leader, you have the final say."

Seeing that Li Huaide had made up his mind, Liu Minghui could only shrug and said helplessly.

Anyway, the difficult period is basically over, and food will definitely not be as expensive as before. Maybe I can even make a small profit this time.

Seeing this, Li Huaide smiled and said to Liu Minghui: "Okay, anyway, your contribution will not be missed. This time, I don't know how many people know your name. Everyone knows that the head of the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill is very powerful."

Li Huaide said jokingly.

"Just go back and wait, the commendation will arrive later."

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Liu Minghui stopped caring about this matter and started talking about He Daqing instead.

"Okay, then I'll see what the reward is. But this time, I came here mainly to introduce someone to you."

Hearing this, Li Huaide asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Li Huaide's curiosity was really aroused, mainly because they had known each other for several years, and Liu Minghui had never used his connections to get someone into the factory or anything like that.

But this time he actually came to find me, how could Li Huaide not be curious.

Could it be a relative? Li Huaide couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"You know He Yuzhu, right? He is looking for you this time because of his father, He Daqing. He plans to work in the cafeteria."

Liu Minghui did not hide anything and directly told the truth about He Daqing.

Li Huaide heard this and thought in his mind that he knew He Yuzhu, but he did not know He Daqing.

I couldn't help but ask Liu Minghui curiously, "Why didn't He Yuzhu come to see me?"

That’s right. If He Yuzhu’s father wanted to work in the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu could just come and find him. Li Huaide still has some face for He Yuzhu.

Liu Minghui spread his hands and explained helplessly: "How would I know? Anyway, the person found me, and I was embarrassed to refuse, so I came to find you."

"But this He Daqing is no simple matter. He used to be the chef of the steel mill. It is said that his cooking skills are much better than He Yuzhu's. Isn't this a talent? Are you going to refuse him?"

There was nothing wrong with what Liu Minghui said. In his opinion, Li Huaide was a glutton. After all, judging from the fact that He Yuzhu often did not give him face, Li Huaide could endure it, so what he said was really true.

Li Huaide didn't pay much attention when he heard this, but when Liu Minghui said that He Daqing's craftsmanship was better than He Yuzhu's, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You're telling the truth, is He Daqing's cooking really that good?"

"Of course. Why don't you let him show off his skills at noon today? If you think it's okay, you can keep him."

Seeing that Li Huaide was interested, Liu Minghui gave him some advice.

Li Huaide nodded after hearing this. This was true. After all, if He Daqing was really that powerful as Liu Minghui said at the beginning, Li Huaide would certainly not drive him away. He would of course recruit him under his command.

"Okay, go talk to him later, and we'll try the food together at noon."

.....

After getting Li Huaide's consent, Liu Minghui went to the cafeteria to find He Daqing.

At this time in the cafeteria, He Daqing was looking at the furnishings here, and sighed as he looked: "Nothing has changed, it's still the same as before."

“It’s just that I don’t recognize anyone anymore.”

He Daqing was talking about his former colleagues. When he was at the steel rolling mill, although He Daqing was the head chef, he also had other chefs under him. He had come here this time hoping to meet some old friends, but he didn't see any of them.

He Yuzhu followed nearby. When he heard this, he curled his lips and said unhappily, "They have all retired. Those who haven't retired have gone to other canteens. The steel mill now has five canteens, otherwise there wouldn't be enough food for tens of thousands of people."

"Zhu Zi, who is this?"

When the others saw this, they were all wondering who He Daqing was, but only Liu Lan came over and asked.

Liu Lan still loves gossip. When she saw He Daqing bringing an old man into the kitchen, she of course had to ask some questions.

"This is my dad, he's also a chef."

He Yuzhu explained casually.

"Ah, this is your father, but your father is not, not..."

Liu Lan was very surprised when she heard this. She knew about He Yuzhu's family affairs. The most talked-about point was He Yuzhu's father. After all, it was rare in this era for someone to abandon his two children and run away.

Although Liu Lan had only been at the steel mill for over a year, he also knew about this matter.

That's why he was so shocked when he learned of He Daqing's identity.

He Yuzhu also knew what Liu Lan was thinking, and couldn't help but spread his hands and said, "Yes, my father just came back from Baocheng, and now he doesn't plan to leave, so he brought him here to see if he can work in the factory."

While a few people were chatting, Liu Minghui came to the kitchen.

As soon as Liu Minghui lifted the door curtain and came in, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed He Daqing.

"Minghui, what did the leader say? Can I stay?"

He Daqing asked anxiously. Although he was proud of his extraordinary cooking skills, if the leaders of the steel mill did not agree, he would not be able to stay and work in the steel mill no matter how talented he was.

To ask why He Daqing was so anxious, we have to start with He Daqing's divorce. At the beginning, He Daqing wanted to go back to Sijiu City, but the White Widow was not happy about it. After all, He Daqing was a great chef and was more than enough to support a family.

Of course Widow Bai was reluctant to give up her free meal ticket, and was extremely reluctant to accept the divorce proposed by He Daqing.

In order to divorce Bai Guafu, He Daqing had no choice but to leave most of his money, including the job quota in Baocheng to Bai Guafu's son. Only in this way could he divorce Bai Guafu smoothly.

After returning, He Daqing did not live a comfortable life. Although He Yuzhu and his wife and He Yushui were very happy about his return, He Daqing's return was redundant. After all, the He family only had two houses, one large and one small. The main house was occupied by He Yuzhu and his wife, and He Yushui had lived in the small house for more than ten years. In addition, He Yushui had grown up, so he could not compete with his own children for it.

In this case, He Daqing had no choice but to pay the rent and temporarily live in the upstairs house in the front yard.

He Daqing was certainly not happy about this. After all, the living environment of the upside-down house was really not that good.

So he was eager to change his house, but even if he had a house, He Daqing had no money, so he wanted to make money quickly and planned to save money to buy a house first.

Plus, he also wants to remarry, which also costs money.
