Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

I went to the office to get a lunch box, and thought that I should not have offended Sha Zhu recently, so I went to the third canteen. One reason was that the third canteen was closest to the administrative building, and the other was that the cooking skills of the chefs in other canteens were indeed much worse than Sha Zhu's. Even if they were all cabbage and potatoes, the taste would be different.

Because the third canteen had to provide special meals for the leaders, it only supplied meals to less than a thousand people every day. Some workshops that were far away or those who had a bad relationship with Sha Zhu simply did not come here to eat, so there were not many people when Zhao Shanhe came.

Steel mill canteen

Within two minutes, it was his turn to get food. He handed over the meal ticket and said.

"One serving of cabbage and potatoes, and two steamed buns made of 100g of flour."

Through the glass window of the food window, you can see Shazhu sitting in the cafeteria like an old man. This is definitely him. If it were someone else, the cafeteria director would have fired him long ago.

The big pot rice is indeed tastier than what you cook at home, but that’s just it. After all, there isn’t much oil or water in it, so no matter how good you cook it, it won’t taste like meat.

Zhao Shanhe has been eating much better in the small world recently. He feels a little bit tired of eating cabbage and potatoes. As the ancients said, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, which is true for me.

After dinner, I took a nap on my stomach in the office. When I woke up, the sun was setting. I stretched my body and stretched my muscles. Sleeping on my stomach is not as good as sleeping lying down. My legs are a little numb.

He rubbed his legs and finally recovered after a while. Just as he was about to get up and pour himself a glass of water, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open. He turned around and saw that it was Yao Decai.

"Shanhe, Director Li wants to see you, come with me."

Zhao Shanhe slapped his cheeks with his hands to make himself look a little more energetic. The leader of his leader's leader must be looking for him because of those fish.

The logistics director's office was on the third floor. Yao Decai took him to the door and knocked. The door opened directly. The person who opened the door was Li Lianjie, the head of the purchasing department.

This leader, who had never given Zhao Shanhe a good look since the day he entered the factory, now had a smile on his face. This made Zhao Shanhe slightly more alert. He thought that being too attentive might not be a good thing.

"Director, Comrade Zhao Shanhe is here."

Li Huaide's office is a small suite with a clothes hanger at the door, a leather sofa next to it, an upright safe on the window side, and a set of desks and chairs opposite the sofa. On the wall behind the chairs hang photos of the chairman and the commander.

No matter from which aspect, it is much better than Yao Decai's office. And because it is a suite, other people can't see what's inside the room. However, considering his style, it is estimated that a bed will not be able to escape.

As soon as Li Lianjie finished speaking, a man walked out from the inner room. He had a slicked-back hair and a Zhongshan suit. Anyone who has watched the TV drama about courtyard houses would know that this was Li Huaide, the future leader of the steel mill.

Director Li

Zhao Shanhe had only met Li Huaide twice. The first time was when the other party brought the factory leaders and Director Wang from the street office to the yard to give him the pension. At that time, Li Huaide cried so hard that people who didn't know would have thought that it was his dad who died instead of Zhao Shanhe's father. The other time was when he reported to work on his first day, and Li Huaide expressed verbal welcome and concern to him. From then until now, this was the third time he had seen Li Huaide.

This person always gives people the impression that he is not arrogant. Seeing Zhao Shanhe and Yao Decai still standing there, he quickly waved his hand and said.

"Comrade Zhao Shanhe, we meet again. Let's sit down and talk. Let's sit down and talk."

After Zhao Shanhe and the other two sat down, Li Huaide continued speaking.

"I'm a few years younger than your father, so I'll call you Shanhe like Lao Yao does, so it seems closer. To be honest, when you first came to work, I thought it would take you a long time to adapt to the work of the purchasing department. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise. The hundreds of kilograms of fish you brought back can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the factory."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Shanhe knew that Yao Decai must have told Li Huaide the truth of the matter, and he couldn't help but glance at Uncle Yao who was sitting next to him.

I wanted to ask Uncle Yao why he told this to others, but then I thought this was not the place to ask questions and it would be better to wait until we get back to ask him.

Li Huaide also noticed Zhao Shanhe's little action, but did not point it out. Instead, he continued speaking.

"I heard from Lao Yao that you don't want others to know that you purchased the fish. Chief Integrity, Lao Yao and I all respect your opinion, but this seems too unfair to you. After all, you still have to continue with your monthly purchasing tasks.

Do you have any other requests? As long as they are within a reasonable range, I can compensate you on behalf of the logistics department."

Zhao Shanhe, who was a little absent-minded because he was betrayed by Uncle Yao, was no longer sleepy when he heard about this good thing. However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of what he needed.

Food? I don't need it. In two days, the corn harvest will be ready in my small world. Money? These hundreds of kilograms of fish must be worth some money. These days, if you have too much money, you can't spend it without a ticket, so I don't have any demand for it. After thinking about it, I finally decided to order some tickets.

"Director Li, can you give me some rare receipts? For example, first-class tobacco and alcohol. The factory doesn't issue these things, and the street doesn't have them. Sometimes when I go to the countryside to purchase, I have no place to buy them."

Li Huaide has always been very generous to people who can help him in his career. When he heard that Zhao Shanhe wanted some bills, he directly took out a few bills from the drawer.

"I'll give you two first-class cigarettes and two first-class liquor tickets. These are for you to use when you go to the countryside to make business contacts. They don't count as rewards from the factory.

This watch ticket is a reward for you. Don't refuse it. It is not a precious thing to me.

As long as you can get more fish and meat in the future, it will be considered as a reward for me."

As expected, he is a ruthless man who can endure being beaten by Sha Zhu. Zhao Shanhe feels very comfortable with this little chat. Who said that Li Huaide is greedy for money? Isn't this a good leader who cares for his subordinates?

"Thank you, leader. I will continue to work hard and try not to disappoint Director Li."

Anyone who doesn't take advantage of a good opportunity is a fool. It just so happened that he needed a watch to check the time. Zhao Shanhe stepped forward to take the ticket and thanked Li Huaide. After he sat down, Li Huaide spoke again.

"Lian Jie, have the fish been weighed? How many pounds are they in total?"

"Director, we've weighed it, and it's 798 kilograms in total. But there are many types of fish, including carp, grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp. I think the canteens will have to put some thought into it during the New Year's Day dinner."

"That's the cafeteria's business. If they don't do a good job, we'll punish them. We can't waste the kindness of our logistics department to the employees. 798 kilograms, just count it as 800 kilograms. Go to the finance department to get the money back and calculate it directly at 7 cents per kilogram. Since you've told the public that you bought it on the black market, the price certainly can't be based on the market price."
