Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Ma Hua scratched his head and said, "Master Yang, this master is the master, and has nothing to do with us." Master Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Silly boy, you really don't know how lucky you are. All kinds of craftsmen in our Sijiu City have their own masters. Do you know how famous Master Mo Xiangtian Mo is in Sijiu City? You are the descendants of Master Mo's lineage. If you two meet colleagues in the future, you can talk to them."

If I heard that you were Master Mo's apprentice, I would definitely respect you even more. It's not an exaggeration to say that Master Mo is the ancestor of chefs in our entire city. It's good to lean on a big tree for shade, don't you two understand?

Compared to the simple and kind-hearted Ma Hua, Liu Lan's brain can be said to be very smart. She knew what Master Yang meant, and a smile appeared on her red face. The clever apprentices around them had already surrounded Ma Hua and Liu Lan and started to ask about their well-being. If they could really learn a few tricks from Ma Hua and Liu Lan, wouldn't they be making a profit?

Even if I can't learn anything from Ma Hua and Liu Lan, it's definitely not a bad deal to make friends with the canteen director's apprentice. There was a fat man in the crowd, who said with a simple face, "Sister Lan and Brother Hua, you two have to take good care of me in the future. I will hang out with you guys from now on."

Liu Lan was very happy. It was the first time she felt someone complimenting her. Ma Hua, who was honest and simple, blushed. He didn't know what to do. Master Yang smiled and said, "Come on, everyone, hurry up and get ready. The logistics department has already issued a notice yesterday. Liu Lan, take a few people to transport the ingredients we need today."

Liu Lan nodded quickly, called two apprentices, and went to the logistics department with a small flatbed cart. The ingredients for the canteen must be obtained from the logistics department every day. In this era when people could starve to death, this was a measure that had to be taken to prevent people from embezzling ingredients.

Master Yang glanced at Qin Guohua standing aside and said, "You must be Master He's brother-in-law, what a strong young man you are." Master Yang was very satisfied with this young man named Qin Guohua. He nodded and said with a smile, "You will follow me for the time being. Your brother-in-law told me. Let me teach you the basic knowledge first, and then you can follow him as an apprentice."

Qin Guohua nodded quickly. Although he didn't understand why his brother-in-law didn't let him be an apprentice with him, he was very grateful to He Yuzhu for giving him such a position. He nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Yang. Please take care of me in the future."

Master Yang smiled and said, "Do you know why you are not allowed to worship Master He as your master?" Qin Guohua shook his head. Master Yang smiled and said, "There is an important rule among us chefs, that is, the apprentice is the apprentice and the master is the master. You can't have the seniority reversed. You are Master He's elder brother-in-law, so Master He may not accept you as his apprentice."

Qin Guohua felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask if this rule could not be broken. Master Yang smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry too much. With Master He's great ability, there will always be a way out. You can lay the foundation with me first, what do you think?"

What else could Qin Guohua say? He could only nod. This job was much better than when he was in the countryside. It was easy and he could earn a lot of money. His brother-in-law found him a house and generously paid two months' rent for him. He had no resentment in his heart for such a generous brother-in-law, but was extremely grateful.

In the Hongxing Siheyuan Street Office, Wang Chunhua looked at the group of people in front of her and said with a sullen face, "Jia Dongxu, you are really great. You got divorced yesterday and got married today. Should I say that you are popular or that you are capable? You really don't even care about your dignity, you..."

Liu Chunhua threw the letter of introduction to him with a bad face. She was disgusted with the mother and son of the Jia family. Jia Dongxu could only smile awkwardly. Wang Chunhua waved her hand with a dark face, saying, "Get out of here quickly. We can't accommodate a big Buddha like you here."

He had also heard about what happened in the Jia family yesterday. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu, who looked like a decent person, could do such a shameless thing. Although it was a bit immoral, the people didn't report it, so he, as the director of the street office, couldn't say anything. He just turned a blind eye. After all, it wasn't a good thing.

It was already very good to get the letter of introduction. Xu Erni didn't care about the old woman's expression. She went to get the marriage certificate with Jia Dongxu on her side. The woman who didn't take him, the director of the street office, seriously made the director, who usually kept his emotions, show a trace of anger on his face.

She said to Xiao Huang, "Officer Xiao Huang, please come over here." Xiao Huang, who was in his 20s and had just been assigned to work in the street office, ran over and said with a smile, "Director Wang, what can I do for you?" Wang Chunhua's face looked very unhappy, and she said, "Go and check what happened to Jia Dongxu. He got divorced last night and got married early this morning. I only heard a general idea yesterday, so you need to investigate the details clearly for me."

Xiao Huang nodded quickly. This was a very small matter. There were always gossiping old ladies in every courtyard. It was easy to find out everything that happened last night. Xiao Huang went straight to Hongxing Courtyard after leaving the street office and happened to run into Yang Ruihua who was about to go out.

Yang Ruihua was familiar with this Xiao Huang official. She smiled and said, "Xiao Huang official, what can I do for you?" Xiao Huang official smiled, pushed his glasses on his nose and said, "It's like this, Aunt Yang. Didn't Jia Dongxu and his wife get divorced last night? They came to our street office to get a letter of introduction. But I didn't expect Jia Dongxu to come to get a letter of introduction for marriage early in the morning. What's going on?"

When Yang Ruihua heard that it was this matter, his gossipy eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, this matter is a long story. Wait a moment, I will slowly tell you the whole story."
