Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

Chapter 123 A refugee girl came to the deaf grandmother's house

The day after He Yuzhu agreed to work as a cook at the steel rolling mill with Director Yang, He Yuzhu started working with pay.

The salary was 37.5 yuan. Director Yang knew that He Yuzhu didn't care about this salary, but since he was a role model invited by him personally, shouldn't he still pay him this salary?

Moreover, it couldn't be paid too low, so the salary was set relatively high, which made people like Xu Damao, who was an apprentice in the steel mill, jealous.

On the first day He Yuzhu reported for duty, Director Yang held a welcome ceremony for him...

The hall of the steel mill was decorated with lights and workers gathered around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the chef.

Factory Director Yang stood on the stage and introduced He Yuzhu to everyone with a smile on his face: "Comrades, today we welcome a special person, Master He Yuzhu.

His superb cooking skills and the integrity he demonstrated in public-private partnerships are worth learning for every one of us.

I believe that with the addition of Master He, the canteen of our steel mill will be more delicious and everyone will be more motivated to work."

There was warm applause from the audience and people were talking about it!

The apprentices in the back kitchen, the vegetable pickers,

"Wow, Master He is so amazing!"

“It’s great to have Chef He in our kitchen…”

"Yes, I am so lucky to be able to learn from Master He in the future."

The employees...

"It is our honor to have Master He come to cook for us..."

"Master He is here in our kitchen. We are in for a treat..."

"It's great that Master He came to my steel mill..."

Only Xu Damao (muttered quietly): "Humph, he is just a cook, what's so great about that. But the salary is too high, it's really enviable."

He Yuzhu said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you Director Yang and everyone for your trust. I, He Yuzhu, will do my best to make delicious meals for everyone."

Afterwards, He Yuzhu began to familiarize himself with the environment and equipment of the canteen.

Those young apprentices all looked at him with admiration, especially Xu Damao. Although he was jealous of He Yuzhu's high salary and special treatment, he had to admire his abilities.

In this way, He Yuzhu started working at the steel mill without rushing. His life was enviable, with dividends from the Shandong restaurant, wages from the steel mill, and a large space farm and the Qiantang River treasure house behind him. He really had everything he wanted.

He Yuzhu's life was extremely comfortable, he even felt a little bit dizzy.

If you think about it carefully, what else does he lack? It is undoubtedly a wife.

He Yuzhu has never experienced this kind of thing, either in his previous life or in this life!

He felt that he should really consider this crucial issue seriously.

According to the plot development in the original novel, Lou Xiao'e would marry Xu Damao in 1956, and divorced Xu Damao in 1966. Later, she got together with Sha Zhu with the help of the deaf grandmother. Later, she went to Hong Kong and gave birth to a son for He Yuzhu. Finally, she came back and wanted to reconcile with him.

However, He Yuzhu felt that he was not the Shazhu in the original novel, so he naturally would not follow the established plot.

In the evening of that day, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard as usual.

As soon as I reached the door of my house, I saw a deaf old lady leading a girl slowly walking towards me.

Ever since He Yuzhu maintained a lukewarm relationship with Shen Jihuan, the deaf grandmother knew in her heart that he and Shen Jihuan could not be together. From then on, she has been worrying about He Yuzhu's lifelong affairs.

She looked for all the matchmakers in Nanluoguxiang and spent a lot of money, but He Yuzhu never fell in love with any girl.

Seeing the deaf grandma's attitude today, He Yuzhu couldn't help but wonder if she was going to force him to get married again?

When he thought of this, He Yuzhu began to feel dizzy. He thought it would be better for him to run away quickly, lest he be "sold" by the deaf grandmother accidentally, which would be really unfair.

So he quickly turned around and ran out of the yard.

But after running a few steps, I heard the anxious voice of the deaf grandmother behind me: "Zhu Zi, I am introducing you to a girl. This girl escaped from our hometown and came here to escape famine. Isn't there only one bed in my room?

I am not used to sleeping in the same bed with her, so I want you to help me buy a bed and buy her two sets of clothes..."

After hearing what the deaf grandma said, He Yuzhu stopped.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, I was so scared, I thought the deaf old lady was trying to force me to surrender.

He Yuzhu turned around and noticed the girl next to the deaf old lady.

She was wearing an old Chinese-style light blue slanting-collared blouse, grey straight-leg trousers, a pair of tattered cloth shoes with exposed toes, and a pigtail on her head.

The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with dark skin, a pair of big bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and pretty facial features.

The clothes she was wearing looked a bit like the rough homespun clothes worn by rural women.

However, looking at her temperament, she doesn't look like a girl from the mountains.

He Yuzhu walked over slowly and said to the deaf grandmother, "Deaf grandmother, leave the bed to me, but you have to find someone else to make the clothes for you..."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the deaf grandmother's face blossomed with a warm smile. She narrowed her eyes slightly, raised a wrinkled hand and waved it gently, then slowly spoke:

"Zhu Zi, I just want you to help me buy a better single bed. As for making clothes, that requires cloth coupons, but the cloth coupons I have are not enough to make a dress for her..."

As the deaf old lady spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was filled with a hint of helplessness and melancholy.

She moved slowly, and finally came close to He Yuzhu, patted his arm gently, and motioned him to lower his ear.

He Yuzhu did as he was told. The deaf grandmother tiptoed slightly, leaned close to He Yuzhu's ear, and whispered: "My Zhuzi, I heard that you can go to the Pigeon Market to buy tickets instead of cloth coupons. Please help me buy the cloth for two sets of clothes, and I will find a tailor to make two sets of clothes for her..."

"What, you want me to buy cloth?..." He Yuzhu was so surprised when he heard this that he almost dislocated his jaw.

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and one hand unconsciously touched the back of his head.

Isn't this embarrassing for me, deaf grandma? I have never been to the pigeon market to buy fabrics. I ordered all the fabrics for He Yushui online!

What should I do? How can I tell her that I bought it online? Who would believe me?

He Yuzhu frowned, his heart full of confusion and distress.
