Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Sisters Qin Huairu and Ma Haiyan were also watching this scene at the entrance of a canteen. Qin Huairu opened her eyes wide and said in amazement, "More than 3 people, so many people eating together, how spectacular it is. There are only about 1000 people in Qinjiazhuang, and it is a big village in our surrounding area. More than 3 people, it is really amazing."

Ma Haiyan nodded and said, "In fact, other factories have held this kind of banquet before, but this is the first time for our factory. It seems that your husband is responsible this time. I think the method proposed by your husband is really good." Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Sister Ma, then why didn't our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill do this before! I heard from my husband that our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill seems to be the largest factory nearby."

Ma Haiyan sighed, took two green beans from Ma Hua, and cast them into the ballot box. After thinking for a while, she said, "It is because our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is relatively large. You can't just have a dinner at the main mill and ignore the lives of the brothers in the branch mills. If we implement this dinner, it will be a huge project. But I didn't expect it to be held this year, and it was so big."

Ma Haiyan and Qin Huairu were about to line up in the cafeteria hand in hand. Ma Hua at the door said, "Master's wife, Sister Ma, the master has already arranged everything and prepared meals for you. They are in the cafeteria. The master said that he is busy at noon today and will not come. You and Sister Ma should eat well."

Ma Haiyan thought for a moment and said, "It's not good for us to be special." Ma Hua quickly said with a smile, "Sister Ma, you can rest assured. The food for both of you was paid for by the chef and the bill has been settled. Besides, everyone in the cafeteria is ours, who dares to talk nonsense? There seem to be a lot of people today, and it will waste a lot of time if we queue up."

Qin Huairu thought about it and decided that it was her husband's good intentions, so there was no need for her to be hypocritical. It wasn't like her husband was corrupt and took bribes, and the food was paid for. After thinking about it, she pulled Ma Haiyan into the cafeteria and found the small dining table with ease.

Most of the people in the cafeteria were familiar with Qin Huairu and the others. There were several tables in the corner of the cafeteria, where the employees usually ate. Looking at the dishes on the table, Master Yang said with a smile, "Master He paid for these dishes, so you can eat them without worry."

Qin Huairu smiled and greeted the people in the cafeteria, then sat down with Ma Haiyan. Looking at the delicious braised pork on the table, the fragrant pickled cabbage and pork, and the plate of vegetarian dishes, Ma Haiyan swallowed her saliva. She thought for a moment, took out a few meal tickets and money from her pocket and said, "I can't eat your food for free all the time, Huairu, you take care of the meal tickets and money."

Qin Huairu also knows the ways of the world and knows that her man will definitely not lack these small things. She said with a bad face, "Sister Ma, in the purchasing department, you treat me like your own sister. I treat you to a meal, why are you paying for it? You are looking down on me, and my man often asks me to treat you to a good meal, so don't refuse it anymore."

Ma Haiyan looked at Qin Huairu's eyes and felt that Qin Huairu's eyes really revealed a sincerity. It was not the kind of false feelings. Ma Haiyan thought about it, took back only half and said, "Okay, I'll take back half. If you don't take this half, I will lose face. If you really don't take it, I will leave this cafeteria now and go to line up outside."

Qin Huairu saw that Ma Haiyan was very determined, and sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take it. Can't I take half of it? In fact, there is no need for this between us." Ma Haiyan smiled and said, "Some things will happen again after the first time. It's okay for you to treat me and I to treat you once or twice, but if you really develop this habit, I think it's not good. Everything must have a limit, don't you think, Huairu?"

Qin Huairu thought about it and felt that what Ma Haiyan said made sense. Didn't her husband always say that a little kindness is worth a lot of kindness? She smiled and said, "Sister Ma, I understand." Ma Haiyan nodded with a smile, thinking that this girl was really smart. Some things were understood at once, and she was usually very happy to talk more with this girl.

Ma Haiyan ate a piece of braised pork, and her eyes lit up immediately. She squinted her eyes and felt the taste buds in her throat secreting saliva crazily. She smiled and said, "It's really delicious. I've eaten braised pork in some restaurants. The braised pork in those restaurants is also good, but it always feels a bit greasy. But the braised pork made by your man is really delicious, oily but not greasy."

Master Yang brought another plate of steamed bread, smiled and said, "Here, take the steamed bread. This is a new steamed bread developed in our canteen, wild vegetable steamed bread. Try it and see how it tastes." Qin Huairu picked up a steamed bread and took a bite. He thought it was pretty good. Compared with the usual steamed bread, it had a vegetable aroma.

The usual steamed bread makes your throat hurt, but this kind of steamed bread doesn't. Although it's still a little hard to chew, and it's definitely not as good as the big white steamed bread, but compared to the ordinary steamed bread, it's delicious. I heard from my husband that although Master Yang's big pot dishes are not very good, his noodles are still very good.

Qin Huairu praised generously, "Master Yang, your cooking skills are really good. My husband often tells me that your pastries are really good. Your improved steamed corn bread is really delicious compared to ordinary steamed corn bread. It also has a fragrance of vegetables. It is a little more expensive than ordinary steamed corn bread."

Master Yang scratched his head in a very honest manner, smiled and said, "Xiao Qin, you really flatter me. My pastries are just so-so. This steamed bun is indeed one cent more expensive than ordinary steamed buns. After all, it costs money to collect wild vegetables. But the taste is much better than ordinary steamed buns. Our cafeteria plans to display this kind of steamed buns at the banquet this time, so that everyone can give us valuable suggestions."
