Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Li Huaide brought ten people from the steel rolling mill into his own yard.

While leading people and introducing them, he would burst into laughter from time to time.

This smile is somewhat genuine.

When these people were surprised when they saw the sentry at the door, Li Huaide knew that today's meeting was not in vain.

This is also a part of showing off your muscles.

Compared to Director Yang, Li Huaide is a much better person.

Liu Xiulan had already shown a standard smile that was in line with social expectations, and enthusiastically invited everyone into the room to talk.

After another round of greetings, everyone sat down.

Liu Xiulan and Liu Lan served tea to everyone, and then left.

Li Huaide sighed: "Come, try some of the tea I just got. It's not easy to get some tea these days."

"Hahahaha, it's all thanks to Director Li that I'm finally here today." Wei Wei immediately picked up the teacup, took a sip, and grimaced from the heat.

"Kid, don't drink too fast. Don't worry, there's enough tea today." Li Huaide looked at Wei Wei with satisfaction.

Others also picked up their teacups.

Li Huaide has been in the factory for some time. These ten people were all selected by him as candidates for winning over. Wei Wei is not counted as he is one of his own.

"Director Li, you are from a wealthy family, but you are very secretive. Today you have given us a big surprise." Suddenly, someone said.

"It's not a big surprise." Li Huaide showed a smile that met the expectations of the society: "Li's logistical skills are just this little bit. Speaking of which, I still admire you very much for being able to run the entire steel mill so well."

"Hey, Director Li, you're being too modest. If the logistics can't keep up and the workers can't have enough to eat, how can the factory continue to operate? Don't you agree?" Wei Wei immediately came out to praise him.

Li Huaide frowned slightly, thinking that the flattery was not appropriate.

"Well, those are all minor matters. Li is also full of complaints and has nowhere to vent them. A while ago, I talked with Director Sun of the meat processing plant about the pork supply. You should all know about it."

"Yes, that's true." This was not said by Wei Wei. It was a hot topic a while ago, and everyone knew that Li Huaide got on the meat processing plant's car.

For example, a large state-owned factory like a steel mill actually has some targets assigned by the superiors every month. However, the specific implementation of the targets is a matter of fact. It is common for targets to be not met, whether it is for meat or materials. It is different to have personal connections or not.

The big guy also pricked up his ears and listened.

Those present here are all leaders. Taking the meat back will also benefit them.

These days, when meat is brought back from the meat processing plant, the big parts are naturally sent to the factory canteen. The small parts, such as pig offal and sometimes some game if you are lucky, these things that cannot be divided equally will be divided among these leaders. Don't get me wrong, it's not free, but these leaders have to pay for it.

But these days it’s good enough to be able to buy meat with money without a ticket, so why would you need a bicycle?

Therefore, Li Huaide's position as the director of the meat processing plant could effectively improve his own status.

But later on, no one believed in this matter and no one knew what was going on.

"This matter was originally settled. I was thinking about inviting Director Sun to our factory for a meal to maintain relations. As you know, the meat processing plant also needs some steel. Director Sun plans to exchange meat for steel. This is a good thing, right?"

Everyone nodded, that's right, barter, how nice, unplanned unplanned.

Now the steel mill says that it has enough and does not need to produce too much, but in fact, it is still far from enough, and the mill has many plans to expand production. Now it is in the experimental stage, and this experiment has produced unplanned steel, which is precious.

"Is it Director Yang who is unwilling to change?" someone asked immediately.

"I am willing and I am not willing." Li Huaide sighed, "I am not complaining, we are all from the steel mill. Yes, I, Li Huaide, admit that I want to improve, but you guys, even if we fight, we can't joke about this, right?"

"Director Li, what do you mean by 'willing and unwilling'? I don't understand what you are saying. I am just a rough person. If you say it directly, it won't work. Let's all persuade Director Yang together. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Someone expressed his opinion, and others immediately followed.

This is a matter of whether everyone can eat meat, so naturally we need to be more proactive.

"Director Yang said he agreed, but he didn't agree to my entertaining Director Sun from the meat processing plant. Tell me, what kind of thing is this?" Li Huaide slapped his thigh, looking helpless: "I finally got in touch with him, and he came over, but in the end he was not given anything to eat and was sent back. How can a human do this?"

To be honest, Director Yang's move was quite clever. Didn't the higher-ups say that we can't be bureaucratic? We should avoid the idea of ​​entertaining people if possible? But in fact, they came all the way here, and if you don't even entertain them, what am I? That's nonsense.

"You tell me, most of the supplies in the logistics department were scrambled by me. Okay, I wanted to say it, but the director of the fifth canteen said that it was not possible. If we want to have a special meal, we need the approval of the higher-ups. Otherwise, it won't work. You tell me, this... this, this... ah..." Li Huaide sighed.

It's really too much...

And the layout is a bit small.

In fact, these people in the factory have their own ideas, but one thing has not changed, they all hope that the steel rolling mill will be good. The result is good. You, Director Yang, took the lead in not allowing people to entertain people. What does this mean? This is not the case for the workshop directors in the factory, but what about those who help the factory contact business? If one of them is disobedient, he will also use this trick. Then, when the time comes, it will offend people.

The faces of many people present changed.

"This is too much!" The person who spoke was the one in charge of external business contacts. Although he usually remained neutral, it was a different story when it came to his own interests.

"That's right." Li Huaide was already very happy in his heart, but his face was still worried. Then he said, "Well, I have thought of a way. I have hired a cook from Fengze Garden. Actually, I don't have anything to do today. Everyone here is knowledgeable. I just want you to help me test the chef's skills. If it's okay, then in the future, if there is any job that needs to be entertained, it will be an extra choice."
