Siheyuan Shangpeng

Li Huaide walked up to the two of them, smiled at them, and said, "What? Are you welcoming me? That's right, after all, I'm the head of the steel mill now, you two have to flatter me, haha..."

The two brothers laughed when they heard it. Shang Peng even bent over and patted Li Huaide's butt, indicating that he had started to flatter him. Li Huaide was so angry that he kicked Shang Peng in the butt.

After laughing for a while, the three of them walked into the courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, He Daqing poked his head out of the kitchen, saw Li Huaide and said, "Old Li, you're here at the right time. Wash your hands and eat right away."

Li Huaide pointed at He Daqing and said, "Old He, tell me what delicious food you made today?"

At this time, He Yuzhu's head also stuck out from the kitchen window and smiled at the few people. Li Huaide looked at him and said, "Old He, this is your son, right?"

He Daqing laughed and said, "This is my son He Yuzhu. Zhuzi, this is Director Li of the steel rolling mill. You can call him Uncle Li."

He Yuzhu smiled innocently and called Uncle Li. Li Huaide agreed, turned around to look at the Shang family brothers, then looked at He Daqing and said, "Is it too late for me to leave now? I always feel like there's no good banquet."

Several people laughed. Shang Peng walked forward and tried to pull Li Huaide into the house. As he walked, he said, "Uncle Li, I can still trick you. Don't worry, we can talk while we eat."

Li Huaide quickly stopped and said to Shang Peng, "As long as you say that, you must be in trouble. Now that your father is not at home, no one can take care of you. Tell me, I can't eat if you don't explain clearly."

Shang Peng still held Li Huaide and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, it's not a big deal. I know this. Let's sit down and talk slowly. We can't stand in the yard and talk. It's quite cold today." Shang Peng had just finished speaking when Shang Qi also walked forward and held Li Huaide's hand and walked into the house.

Li Huaide had no choice but to follow Shang Peng into the house. If it was Shang Peng himself, Li Huaide would have asked clearly, but since Shang Qi said this, it meant it was not a big deal, otherwise Shang Qi would have just told him directly.

As soon as Li Huaide sat down, He Daqing and He Yuzhu started serving the dishes. When Li Huaide saw the dishes, he didn't care whether Shang Qi said anything or not. He stood up and wanted to run away, but Shang Peng grabbed him and said quickly, "Uncle Li, don't worry, it's really nothing serious. It's mainly because a friend of mine got some good stuff, and my uncle happens to know how to cook Tan's dishes, so we want to try it and practice Brother Zhuzi's skills in cooking Tan's dishes. Don't run away."

Li Huaide looked at them suspiciously and said, "Really?"

Shang Peng pulled Li Huaide to sit down and said, "Really? How could I deceive you about this? Uncle Li, I find that you politicians are really cunning. If I were to trick you and treat you to a meal, I would have come directly to you. With our relationship, do I need to do that?"

Li Huaide looked at Shang Peng and didn't believe him. He turned to look at Shang Qi and saw Shang Qi also nodded with a smile. Only then did Li Huaide sit down and watch the dishes served by the He father and son.

When all the dishes were served and the He family father and son were at the table, Shang Peng took out a few bottles of wine from his room, put them on the table, and said to Li Huaide, "Uncle Li, which bottle do you want to drink?"

Li Huaide looked at the wines Shang Peng brought out, both domestic and foreign. After thinking for a while, he took a bottle of Moutai and said, "I still like to drink our own wine."

Shang Peng smiled and grabbed the Moutai. After opening it, he poured a glass for Li Huaide first, then poured a glass for everyone else. He then picked up a bottle of decanted wine from the side and poured himself a glass.

Li Huaide looked at Shang Peng and asked, "Why are you drinking that stuff? Why don't you drink a glass with me?"

Shang Peng smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Uncle Li, it's not that I don't want to accompany you. Last time, my uncle made me drink too much. I found that I really can't drink white wine. It's not good for the brain. I was confused for several days and it affected my thinking. So I decided not to drink white wine in the future."

Li Huaide agreed and said, "Yeah, that's right. Your brain needs to be protected. Okay, let's drink. Let's talk about it before we drink. What's the matter? I won't feel at ease if you don't tell me."

Shang Peng pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Uncle Li, let's try the dishes first. Let's try them for you first. How about finding a chef like this for your factory?"

Li Huaide asked, "Old He, you're leaving? Where are you going?"

He Daqing laughed and said, "You are amazing. You understood what I meant. I am leaving, but I will leave the pillar to you. I cannot say anything else. Your cooking skills are already 80% of my ability. Last year, I passed the Level 5 chef certificate. How about you replace me? Is that a problem?"

Li Huaide thought for a moment and said, "Okay, no problem, but I've tried Tan's cuisine. Are other cuisines okay? The steel mill doesn't make Tan's cuisine."

"Don't worry, Zhuzi learned from the Sichuan cuisine master of Cuihualou. He is proficient in both Sichuan and Shandong cuisine. A master's banquet will be held in two days." He Daqing replied.

"Okay, that's settled then. Will he still take over your business?" Li Huaide asked.

Shang Peng continued, "Brother Zhuzi, go to the canteen of the special workshop at the steel rolling mill. Whether or not they will cook for you depends on whether you give them any benefits."

This sentence made Li Huaide laugh. He pointed at Shang Peng and said, "You little bastard, do you need me to tell you that? You are a pillar, right? Hurry up and start your apprenticeship at the steel rolling mill. Your uncle Li will directly give you a salary as a level 6 cook. It is definitely not as much as what the restaurants outside offer, but our salary is easier and more stable than that of the restaurants. As for the rest, you can take your time."

He Daqing kicked He Yuzhu under the table, and He Yuzhu quickly said, "Don't worry, Director Li, I will definitely listen to you. If you say to stew chicken, I will definitely not stew duck. You say..."

"Okay! Brother Zhuzi, this is too formal. Just call him Uncle Li at home. Uncle Li is not a stingy person." Shang Peng interrupted directly.

Li Huaide also smiled and nodded.

Shang Peng said to Li Huaide: "Uncle Li, now I have something serious to tell you. The real Yang Weimin is coming back."

"What? The real Yang Weimin? What does that mean?" Li Huaide asked suspiciously.

Shang Peng explained: "The information we received today is that Yang Weimin has been replaced by someone else. The couple was kidnapped and rescued in the suburbs. I won't tell you who the Yang Weimin of the steel mill is. Anyway, the real Yang Weimin is coming back."

"I told you, no matter how petty Yang Weimin is, he can't do this. It looks like my position is in jeopardy," Li Huaide muttered.

“No, even though he didn’t do it this time, he was kidnapped and replaced by someone for such a long time, which shows that he is still careless. That’s why you will become the factory director and he is the deputy director. Besides, he has reached the end of his rope and can’t be promoted no matter how hard he tries. He will just be a mascot in the future.” Shang Peng replied.
