Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

"Hey, isn't this Brother Dongxu? Are you having dinner with your wife?" Xu Damao came over with a full lunch box and a smile on his face. The expression on his face was so mean that people wanted to hit him. Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, Jia Dongxu snorted coldly. Looking at Xu Damao's full lunch box, he was very jealous.

There was sourness in his words, and he snorted coldly and said, "Hey, isn't this Xu Damao? How come Mr. Xu is talking to a worker like me? I feel a little flattered." After listening to Jia Dongxu's words, Xu Damao was stunned at first, and then said with a dark face, "Hey, Jia Dongxu, are you sick? Our Xu family has been hired farmers for three generations. What do you mean by I am a young master?"

Jia Dongxu smiled, with envy and jealousy in his eyes. He pursed his lips and said, "Can you finish all the food by yourself? If you can't finish it, it will be a waste. That was the treatment of the young masters in the past. I said you are a young master, am I wrong?" Jia Dongxu retorted, he must embarrass Xu Damao today.

Xu Damao snorted coldly, picked up his lunch box and went somewhere else. He felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would infect Jia Dongxu with idiocy. Before leaving, he left a word, smiled and said, "Jia Dongxu, are you envious of me? Envy that I and the people in the kitchen are so well-educated? Look at the food in my lunch box, it's much more than what you have. Hahahahahaha"

He left cheerfully without paying any attention to Jia Dongxu's gloomy face. Not far from this table was another table from the Propaganda Department. Although Xu Damao had only been in the Propaganda Department for a short time, he had already become a socialite in the Propaganda Department. Some of the aunties in the Propaganda Department saw that Xu Damao was young and good at talking, so they especially liked to chat with him. Xu Damao took his food and came to their table, where he was warmly welcomed.

This really pissed off Jia Dongxu. His staff was at the bottom of the new steel mill. Because he had a master who was a seventh-level fitter, he looked down on everyone in private. Especially when it came to the treatment of apprentices, although his own level was not very good, he was still very domineering towards other apprentices.

Workshop director Guo Dapiezi tried to drive Jia Dongxu to other workshops, but other workshops did not want such a legendary figure, and Yi Zhonghai himself did not want to send Jia Dongxu to other workshops, so they were deadlocked. Jia Dongxu enjoyed bullying apprentices. Although those apprentices flattered Jia Dongxu on the surface, after all, his master was a famous senior fitter in the factory, they cursed Jia Dongxu to death behind his back.

Liu Chunhua curled her lips and said, "Dongxu, why don't you take some time to learn your locksmith skills? I heard that there will be another exam soon. This time you should hurry up and pass the first-level locksmith exam. After all, you can get a salary of 20 yuan a month. You really want me to support our family. Are you still a man?"

The last sentence successfully attracted the attention of the workers who were eating around. Liu Chunhua was a legend in the entire steel mill, naturally because of his body shape. There were very few people as fat as Liu Chunhua these days. The remaining one, Jia Dongxu, was also a legend in the Red Star Steel Mill.

It is well known that the first-level fitter is the easiest to pass. As long as you study hard during the apprenticeship period, it is not a problem to successfully pass the first-level fitter. But in the case of Comrade Jia Dongxu, it really opened their eyes. An apprentice who has been taking the exam for eight consecutive years, I really don’t know how he did it. I heard that these two legendary figures got married recently, which made their gossip hearts burn again.

Jia Dongxu was frightened by the looks from the people around him. He glared at his wife and said, "My business is none of your business." He said this viciously, and quickly finished the food in front of him. He left with a dark face. He really couldn't stand the looks from the people around him, and he was very angry.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly. He didn't have many disciples and his temper was very bad. But what could he do? Jia Dongxu was the only one who would take care of him in the courtyard. Who else could he rely on? He could only coax Jia Dongxu like a child, and he felt very tired.

In He Yuzhu's office, He Yuzhu said to Master Yang, "Master Yang, I am now the director of our canteen department, and you will be the canteen monitor. You must cooperate with me to run our canteen well, do you understand?" Master Yang was very happy and nodded quickly with a smile.

Being a canteen monitor can get a 2 yuan allowance. Don't underestimate this 5 yuan. You can buy a lot of corn flour in that era. Corn flour was a very common food in that era. Not every household could eat white flour. Some ordinary families mixed corn flour with white flour, which was also a very good delicacy.

Master Yang said, "Thank you, Master He, oh thank you Director He for the promotion. I will manage the canteen well and will not embarrass you. Director, I have something to ask you. You said you want to train the cooking chef's skills. Is this true or false?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Of course this is true. We will cook half an hour earlier at noon every day, and I will explain how to fry the big pot dishes. In our cafeteria, besides me, your cooking skills are the only one who can cook well. Our workers are very tired at work every day, and they must eat and drink well. I will use my unique skills and contribute selflessly."

Master Yang was stunned at first, then he thought for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you teach your apprentice, you will starve to death?" Not only Master Yang was very curious, but anyone who had some skills would have this idea in this era. After all, if you hand over your skills, your apprentice will definitely take your job away. What should you do then?

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Of course I'm not stupid. I'm just passing on my big pot cooking skills. As for the rest, I'll find an apprentice when the time comes." Master Yang smiled and asked, "Oh, Master He, Director He wants to take an apprentice. Is this true? I remember that Ma Hua, is he your apprentice? I remember you mentioned it once last time, but I didn't ask in detail afterwards."
