Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

After seeing Director Qian leave, He Yuzhu got to know everyone one by one and let everyone go back to work. He looked around the environment and found that it was no different from the third canteen, except that there was an extra small room for rest. It was the place where He Yuzhu often sat in the TV series.

After watching all this, he saw that it was almost time and started to arrange lunch. He asked Master Li, the chef who cooked the big pot, "What dishes do you want to make today?"

Master Li replied, "What else can we have? Cabbage, potatoes, and tofu, but we have meat today, and they said it is to improve the food for our comrades."

"Okay, Master Li will fry the cabbage and potatoes today, and I will fry the tofu and braised pork, so that everyone can taste my cooking skills," He Yuzhu ordered.

After that, everyone started to divide the work and started to work. Not to mention the cabbage and potatoes made by Master Li, He Yuzhu asked Ma Hua to get some chili peppers, crushed them into powder, and made a spicy tofu with tofu. When it was out of the pot, sprinkled some chopped green onions on it, which was spicy and fragrant, and people couldn't stop eating it once they smelled the taste.

He made another dish of braised pork, and his master-level craftsmanship instantly conquered everyone. Everyone in the cafeteria looked at him, but were too embarrassed to look closely, for fear that He Yuzhu would accuse them of stealing his skills.

He Yuzhu didn't care at all and told everyone that if they wanted to watch, they could watch openly and how much they could learn depended on their abilities. When everyone heard this, they all spoke well of He Yuzhu, because in this era, skills were passed down from master to apprentice and from father to son, and it was extremely difficult to learn other people's skills, and no one wanted to miss the opportunity to learn for free.

He Yuzhu made a few more stir-fries and sent them to the leader's room. Director Qian said that Director Yang would come to taste the dishes today. He only performed at the level of an ordinary level six chef. He didn't want to improve his cooking skills too much because it was very troublesome to serve the leader. He was not short of money now. After a while, the director's secretary came to call He Yuzhu.

Following the secretary to the room where the leaders were dining, He Yuzhu stood up and asked, "Director, do you have any other requests?"

Director Yang, who is in his 40s and looks very gentle, said, "Master He, your cooking skills are very good. I was away a few days ago, and I heard from Director Li that you cooked twice to entertain the leaders and they were very satisfied. Today I tested your skills and appointed you as an eighth-level chef. The salary is 35 yuan per month plus a two yuan allowance for the team leader, which is 37 yuan. How about it?"

"Thank you very much, Director," He Yuzhu replied calmly.

"This is the organization's trust in you. Okay, go and get busy," Director Yang said in a high-pitched voice.

He Yuzhu nodded to the leaders and turned to leave.

As noon approached, workers began to line up for food. Smelling the aroma of the food, everyone wanted to squeeze forward. The people in front of them did not let them in. There was a lot of commotion. Everyone in the cafeteria got just the right amount of food per spoon, but the speed was very fast. Seeing that the number of people queuing in the cafeteria was getting smaller and smaller, it was Xu Damao's turn. He asked the cafeteria worker, "Who made today's food? Why does it smell so good?"

"Today's dishes are made by Chef He," the guy who served the food said.

"Master He, which Master He?" Xu Damao asked again.

"He is the chef He Yuzhu who used to work in the third canteen. He was transferred to the first canteen today and is in charge of the small kitchen. He showed us his skills today, so the big pot dishes are cooked by him," said Chef Li, who cooks the big pot dishes in the canteen next door.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao handed over two more meal tickets and said, "Give me the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu, and give me more so I can taste his cooking skills."

The staff in the cafeteria took the meal ticket and served Xu Damao a portion of braised pork and spicy tofu. Xu Damao smelled the fragrance and left happily. He did not provoke He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu was listening to the conversation between the people in the cafeteria and Xu Damao, and he thought to himself, when did Shazhu get transferred to the first cafeteria? He should talk to the chef to see if he could benefit from it. He used to go to the third cafeteria occasionally to get food just to find He Yuzhu to eat more.

After all, it is the 60s now, and every family is starting to not have enough to eat, especially the Jia family, where one person works to feed several people, and they are all lazy and gluttonous. If He Yuzhu knew about this, he would definitely be slapped in the face to wake him up. After all, he is not the same He Yuzhu anymore.

Jia Dongxu quickly finished his meal, took the lunch box and went to discuss with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a chair at this time, thinking about what he had told a few alley goers yesterday, including that he and He Yuzhu had a bad temper and that his father ran away with a widow. He wanted to ruin He Yuzhu's reputation, especially to spread rumors around the matchmaker's house, so that He Yuzhu could not get a wife. But it had not yet reached Yuzhu's ears.

"Master, master, the food is served. Who did you see today?" Jia Dongxu said as he handed the food to Yi Zhonghai.

"I see who you are. The meal today is delicious," Yi Zhonghai took the food and took a look.

"Today's meal was prepared by Sha Zhu. After he was transferred to the first canteen, we don't have to go to the third canteen to get meals. Master, can you talk to Sha Zhu and ask him to take care of the people in our courtyard. After all, we can't get enough to eat these days," Jia Dongxu said to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai frowned when he heard this and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Sha Zhu. You've seen his attitude towards me. But since Sha Zhu is in the cafeteria, let's slowly find opportunities to make Sha Zhu surrender. Okay, let's eat first."

At this time in the cafeteria, the logistics officer came over and said, "He Yuzhu, Director Li wants you to come with me."

He stood up and followed the logistics officer to Director Li's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in"

"Director Li, you are looking for me," He Yuzhu asked respectfully.

"Master He, your cooking is good, but I just ate it and it's not as good as the ones I made a few days ago. What's going on?" Director Li asked.

"Leader, there is no need to have too high requirements when cooking in the factory. Last time it was you, the leader, who came and waved your hand for a long time," said He Yuzhu.

"I heard that Director Yang rated you as a level eight chef today, which is a bit too low. I think you should be rated at least level six, but my opinion does not count," Li Huaide said meaningfully.

"Then I will wait for a leader to promote me to level six. I will definitely follow his arrangements, but I am just a cook and I don't have any other skills," He Yuzhu also said.

Both of them understood what was going on. So they stopped talking and changed the subject. "Let's see if you have time this Sunday. A friend of mine is getting married and I want you to be the chef. No problem, Director. Just let me know in advance."

"I'll have my friend come and give you a menu in a couple of days, and we'll talk about it then."

"Then Director, I'll leave first. You're busy." He Yuzhu turned and left the office.

Returning to the kitchen, I saw that everyone was busy cleaning after finishing their meals. He Yuzhu arranged for them to clean up the dead corners, wipe all kinds of tools and put them neatly. After all the cleaning, the whole canteen looked very different. I arranged for everyone to prepare tomorrow's ingredients.

He returned to the chair and drank tea, still thinking in his mind. Li Huaide is quite powerful now. In less than a year, he has won over many people in this factory and made them close to him. At least there will be no danger when the wind blows, and he can land safely. The power behind him should not be underestimated. After he had sorted out his thoughts, he called Ma Hua over.

"Don't wash the vegetables now, kid. Bring me a basin of potatoes and practice cutting them into shreds. I will teach you from now on and you must practice before you go off work every day. If you don't make any progress, I will show you how I will deal with you." He Yuzhu said sternly to Ma Hua.

Ma Hua brought the potatoes over, and He Yuzhu demonstrated to him, "See? You have to cut them like this. Cut all the potatoes. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Master, I will definitely study hard," he nodded in agreement.

Ma Hua took the kitchen knife and started to cut the potato shreds. At the beginning, the lengths, thicknesses and thicknesses were different. He Yuzhu was beside him, guiding him step by step. Gradually, he made some progress, although it was slow. However, Ma Hua had a good attitude, which was what He Yuzhu appreciated. He believed that Ma Hua would definitely have a bright future. He certainly couldn't be like on TV, where they didn't teach him anything and wasted a good talent. What's more, Ma Hua was loyal to him.

He Yuzhu went to pack his lunch box and prepare to go home from get off work, and found it heavy. He opened it and saw the dishes he had made for lunch. He held the lunch box and said to everyone, "I won't take any dishes. I won't take any from the third canteen."

From now on, you can discuss how to take it yourselves, but you must not let your leader find out, and you are not allowed to steal things from the cafeteria. You can only take leftovers. Having said that, he gave his lunch box to Ma Hua and turned around to leave work.
