Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Chapter 309 Huang Xiuzhi is envious

Huang Xiuzhi heard everything that was going on outside. She didn't expect that the two brothers could earn 20 yuan by just collecting such a small amount of wild vegetables. Huang Xiuzhi thought about it and said to Qin's mother, "Aunt, why don't you talk to Huairu and let us take over the business? We are real relatives. It seems that there is still a layer between the Qin Dagou brothers. It's better to keep the wealth within the family."

Aunt Qin glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely, thinking that she was a little ungrateful. Although she felt a little uncomfortable just now, she also knew that this was what the son-in-law of the old family said. It seemed a bit too ugly to give this business to their family.

Mother Qin said awkwardly, "I can't decide this. You just heard what my son-in-law said. Besides, when the eldest girl was little, she liked to play with the brothers Qin Dagou and Qin Ergou. The relationship between the three of them is very good. As a mother, I can't say anything, right?"

Huang Xiuzhi was a little unhappy. Although wild vegetables were difficult to dig in winter, if one worked hard, one could still collect them. If his family could get the 20 yuan, he could buy a new set of clothes. He could also buy some things to bring back to his mother's house, so that he could have some face in her family.

She was a little envious of Qin Huairu now. She felt that her cousin was really amazing. Marrying a good man would bring her such treatment. She wondered why she didn't wait a little longer. Maybe there would be those short-sighted or poor-looking city people who came to the countryside to find wives? Huang Xiuzhi was not bad looking either. If she had waited a little longer, maybe she could have found a husband in the city.

Inside the Red Star Steel Mill, workers lined up in an orderly manner in the canteen, smelling the aroma of food in the air, and everyone was discussing it privately. Steelmaker Wang Wu said with a smile, "Wow, it smells so good. I didn't expect that this silly Zhu became the canteen director and made the food so delicious. We brothers are enjoying it."

Su Manzi also nodded, his saliva already flowing down. It wasn't just Su Manzi, almost everyone was drooling. Yang Jianye and Li Huaide didn't do anything special, they also lined up secretly in the crowd. They pulled their hat brims down low, for fear of being seen by the workers.

The two of them were on a secret visit to see how the new canteen director prepared the food. Li Huaide said to Yang Jianye, "It seems that we were worrying too much. I think the food today is really delicious. It's more delicious than any other time. This guy is really capable."

Yang Jianye also nodded in agreement. He Yuzhu's cooking skills were really a treasure in their steel mill. Yang Jianye said to Li Huaide, "Old Li, I heard that the higher-ups will send people down to inspect again soon. We still have to shut these people up so that they won't say anything nonsense. What do you think?"

Li Huaide said in some confusion, "No, they are here to inspect again. I remember it was not long since the last inspection, why are these people so idle and have nothing to do?" Yang Jianye smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you understand, kid? These people just want to take advantage of the reputation of the procuratorate to eat and drink for free. Anyway, we have a treasure like He Yuzhu in our factory, so it's not a big problem."

Yang Jianye looked around quietly and whispered to Li Huaide, "Old Li, let me tell you a little tidbit. Old Sun from the textile factory did not welcome the inspection team properly, and was given a hard time by his superiors. We both just took office, and if there is any foul play, we will both lose our positions."

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Old Yang, don't worry. This is related to our future, we will definitely handle it well. The leader of the inspection team this time should still be that Fatty Liu, he is really shameless." Yang Jianye also said helplessly, "The higher the official rank, the more powerful he is. Let's just bear with it. Although Fatty Liu likes to eat a little, he still has a limit. If we really meet a few greedy people, that would be troublesome."

Li Huaide said with a sullen face, "Why don't we file a report to the higher-ups and sue these people. This is a new society and a new country, and we should get rid of those ways of eating and drinking." Li Huaide, who had just become the deputy factory director, still had ambitions to make a career, and he was quite disgusted with this kind of dark collusion.

People always change. When they have no power, they hate corrupt officials. When you have power, sometimes you will unconsciously become the kind of person you hate the most. Yang Jianye waved his hand and said, "Lao Li, you can't do this. Be careful not to pull out the radish and bring out the mud. It's not easy for us to get to this point. I remember someone said it before, what was it called, oh, right, it's rare to be confused."

Li Huaide nodded. He naturally knew the origin of these four words. "It's rare to be confused" Yes, sometimes you have to be confused. If you are too smart, sometimes life is really tiring. Li Huaide was a little helpless and continued to line up behind Director Yang.

"Why is it that I am left with no dishes cooked by the chef? What do the people in your canteen do?" a hot-tempered worker shouted. Attracting the attention of Li Huaide and Yang Jianye, Liu Lan said, "Comrade, please understand that Chef He cooked half of the dishes. Chef He's dishes are now sold out. The dishes cooked by other chefs are also very good."

The worker obviously ignored Liu Lan's words. He was queuing up just now and was so greedy. He was about to eat the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu, but suddenly someone in the cafeteria said that the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu were gone. How could he not be angry? No matter how Liu Lan explained, the worker refused to give in.

The worker's emotions inspired other workers, who all started talking about it. Wang Wu said angrily, "This is too much bullying. I remember He Yuzhu is a level 6 chef. Can the dishes cooked by a level 6 chef be the same as those cooked by others? Why can they eat the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu? Can people eat the big pot dishes cooked by others?"

Everyone agreed with Wang Wu's statement. He Yuzhu is a level 6 chef. If it were in a restaurant outside, without 10 or 20 yuan, you wouldn't be able to eat his dishes. Today, He Yuzhu finally cooked in the cafeteria. They also knew that He Yuzhu was now the cafeteria director. The cafeteria director was an official. Would he be able to cook for ordinary workers like them in the future? Eating He Yuzhu's dishes would be less and less. After everyone understood this, they jumped up and cursed.
