Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

Outside the door, Xu Damao's loud noise aroused some disgust from He Yuzhu. He originally wanted to go out to calm the situation, but Wang Qian's words made him change his mind. "Husband, just ignore it. Although the incident between Xu Damao and the Jia family has come to a conclusion, the actual problem is still unresolved. It is inevitable that they occasionally quarrel. After all, Xu Damao can no longer get the money back."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "Well, you're right, it's indeed too noisy." He turned his attention outside.

"Let him vent. After all, it's not easy to get the money back. And with Qin Huairu's personality, even if she has the money, she won't easily return it to Xu Damao." Wang Qian smiled, as if she had a deep understanding of Qin Huairu's behavior.

As expected, while Wang Qian was talking, she heard Qin Huairu's footsteps opening the door. Hearing this, she said without giving in: "Xu Damao, what are you yelling about? We don't care whether the money your family lost is really with my mother-in-law. Even if it is, you should go to her to argue. There is no reason to make trouble like this to us mother and son. Let me tell you, she has accepted the legal punishment, three years and six months in prison, but this does not mean that my family has to compensate you for the money. Don't think that your mother-in-law will go to jail and let you get what you want!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao was speechless for a moment. He thought he had achieved his goal, but he didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so tough and even threaten him with Qin Jingru's matter.

"Qin Huairu, are you really not planning to repay that debt? In that case, let's just wait and see! Do you think you can just sit back and reap the benefits by having your mother-in-law taken to my house? Let me tell you, this matter is not over yet!" After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and went back to the backyard, ending the topic.

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him leave. She was about to turn around and go back into the house, but she noticed that Banggeng's eyes flashed with a stern look that was inconsistent with his age.

"Banggeng, wait..." Qin Huairu called out to Banggeng, but he turned around and walked into his room without saying a word.

As time went by, He Yuzhu and Wang Qian finished their breakfast, locked the door, and rode to work together. He Yuzhu quickly crossed the street and arrived at the factory gate in about ten minutes.

The factory director's secretary, Secretary Chen, was already waiting here. "Good morning, Director He," Secretary Chen greeted politely.

After giving the same response, He Yuzhu whispered to him, "The things have been delivered, let's go over now." Secretary Chen agreed and waited for the person to arrive.

At this time, the two saw two men running towards them. "Brother, let's get something." One of them said.

Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I've prepared everything. I'll take you there right away." Then he nodded to He Yuzhu, and the four of them walked out together.

Soon, they came to a small forest near the factory. He Yuzhu asked everyone to wait for a while, and then he went to check whether the items had been delivered. After a moment, he waved to everyone. "Let's go and take a look together."

Secretary Chen led the couple into the woods and soon found a sack on the ground. He Yuzhu opened the sack himself and said with a smile, "It's 380 kilograms in total. It was weighed and verified before delivery. Secretary Chen, if you still feel uneasy, we can..."

However, before he could finish his words, Secretary Chen waved his hand and interrupted him: "I completely trust Director He. Although this is our first time dealing with him, there is no need to doubt."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the slightly taller man next to him and said, "You guys take the things back. I have to hurry back to work."

"Okay, brother-in-law, you go ahead and do your thing. Lin Sen and I can handle it together." The man replied.

"Okay, let's go now."

After Secretary Chen made all the arrangements, he left with He Yuzhu.

As they walked along the road, Secretary Chen said gratefully, "Director He, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I would have a splitting headache now!"

"Oh, it's just a small matter," He Yuzhu said with a smile, "We have all benefited from others, so it's our duty to help them get rid of their troubles."

Secretary Chen continued, "Then don't mention thanking me anymore. How about we have a couple of drinks in the staff cafeteria at noon to celebrate?"

"Good idea, see you at noon." He Yuzhu agreed happily.

This simple transaction made the 400 yuan he received yesterday feel completely secure.

However, for He Yuzhu, the importance of this deal was not only because he got 400 yuan, but more importantly, he won the favor of Secretary Chen. In the next ten years, living in the core area of ​​the city, Sijiucheng, keeping a low profile became a necessary choice for life, and he had no intention of migrating, so he planned to accumulate connections rather than make a lot of money.

After two lives of trials and tribulations, He Yuzhu understands the game between the government and the people: officials want to get rich, and the rich also desire political power. In this era of scarce resources, owning material things means greater control.

With the help of the perspective of future generations and the capital saved in the early stage, he believed that the next special ten years would be a critical period for realizing his ambitions, just like a peng bird soaring into the sky, there would eventually be a vast sky waiting for him to soar.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of the New Year becomes stronger. Compared with the lively Mahjong games in later generations, the flavor of the New Year is more simple and profound.

Starting from tomorrow, there will be a warm memory behind every traditional festival, such as "the sugar-coated melons on the 23rd are sweet; the dust and ashes are removed on the 24th; the windows are pasted on the 25th, and the meat smells fragrant..." He Yuzhu was immersed in the heated discussions among employees about buying New Year's goods, feeling the unique New Year atmosphere that was different from his previous life.

At this time, Liu Lan came to tell him that Deputy Director Li was waiting for him in the warehouse. Soon, the two arrived at the warehouse.

"Director He, are you adapting to the job?" Deputy Director Li consoled with a warm smile on his face.

"Hello, Director Li. Everything is going smoothly under your leadership." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Very good. We called you here today to discuss the pork issue. As the Spring Festival is approaching, the workers' work enthusiasm has obviously declined. They hope to solve the pork problem quickly to stimulate their enthusiasm." Deputy Director Li explained happily.

He Yuzhu knew that Secretary Chen had reminded him of this yesterday. "Director Li, everything is ready. When do you want it? I can contact my friend to prepare it immediately."

"That's great. How about tonight?" Deputy Director Li was arranging the time.

"No problem, I'll bring the meat myself in the evening."

"How do you determine the quantity? Eight thousand kilograms, right?" asked the deputy factory director.

"No more, no less. I will ask you to prepare the scales in advance and confirm the weight on site." He Yuzhu answered with a smile.

The deputy factory director was delighted to hear this reply, knowing that the extra two thousand kilograms would go into his pocket.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, the previous agreement was based on the market price, but it's hard to get a meat quota. Besides, even if we get a quota, we may not come to you. So, do you need anything else? If so, I'll try my best to help you get it. If not, you can use part of the industrial coupons to replace the meat coupons, and pay the rest in cash, how about that?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I don't need anything right now, so I'll take the industrial vouchers. But please tell me the price clearly. I'll confirm it with my friend after get off work. After all, this is a considerable amount of money."

Deputy Director Li responded: "Then we will give you 500 industrial coupons, and we will charge you one yuan per kilogram."

This price was neither high nor low, and was slightly lower than the combination of meat coupons and cash. Industrial coupons themselves were not easy to come by, and overall, He Yuzhu suffered a bit of a loss.

According to records, after Xu Damao took office as director, he mentioned taking back 100 industrial coupons.

"Okay, that's it. It should be okay for me to tell my friend." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

"Very good." The deputy director of the factory said with a smile, "I think one truck can carry more than 8,000 kilograms of meat. I will wait for you at the factory gate in the evening. Come find me then and we can go and get it together."

This transaction allowed him to earn the difference in price and gain some interpersonal capital.

"Please rest assured, Director Li, I can definitely help you with this matter." He Yuzhu stated firmly.

In the kitchen of the steel rolling mill, not long after Deputy Director Li left, Secretary Chen came to see Director He again.

"Director He, Director Yang wants to see you."

Secretary Chen smiled and said that he had already reminded He Yuzhu the day before, and Director Yang immediately told him to call Director He in the morning.

"Okay, I'll go with you right now." After getting ready, He Yuzhu followed Secretary Chen to the factory director's office.

When they arrived at the office door, they heard Director Yang was still on the phone, so the secretary and he took a break outside the door to smoke a cigarette.

"Oh, good cigarettes. Secretary Chen, you are really good at handling things. They are very hard to find in the market." He Yuzhu knew at first sight that these cigarettes were rare and good stuff.

"Oh, Director He has a unique vision. My father-in-law is a soldier and holds a high position. He can get some of these stocks every month. But he doesn't smoke them himself, so they are a bargain for me and my wife's brother. Although the quantity is not much, they cannot be wasted. It is mainly for interpersonal communication. If Director He likes them, I can get two more for you." Secretary Chen smiled, with a bit of complacency in his tone.

He Yuzhu heard his words clearly and was indeed moved, but if he really took the two packs of cigarettes, all that friendship would be canceled out.

"Oh, you're welcome. I don't often smoke this kind of good cigarettes. It's enough to enjoy one or two occasionally." He Yuzhu politely declined.

Seeing that he refused, Secretary Chen did not say much. He naturally understood Director He’s thoughts: smart people can make their meaning clear without further explanation.

Soon, Director Yang finished his call, and He Yuzhu followed the secretary into the office. The secretary poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then took the initiative to leave the room.

"Director, what do you want to talk to me about?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile after sitting down.

"Well, Xiao He, I came to you today because I wanted to ask if the pork you prepared for your friend could be prepared earlier."

The factory director then repeated what the deputy minister had just said.

He Yuzhu fell into deep thought after hearing this. His problem was not that he could not provide meat, but he was concerned about the overall environment.
