Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

I have to say, the calligraphy is quite good, worthy of being a professional in writing Spring Festival couplets for courtyard houses.

Teachers these days are not that busy. Apart from the basic work like teaching and marking assignments, there are basically no other messy activities.

Therefore, teachers have more time at this time, and many people will take advantage of their free time to practice calligraphy.

It not only helps you cultivate your character, but also improves your calligraphy skills.

Thanks to his calligraphy skills, Yan Bugui received a lot of peanuts, melon seeds and candies during the Chinese New Year.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can even make a little money.

"Chen Jun, the Jia family will probably ask Sha Zhu to prepare the banquet, so who will prepare our banquet?"

When Yan Bugui said this, his eyes were full of anticipation. He had been to Chen's house for several meals and naturally knew Chen Jun's cooking skills, so he wanted Chen Jun to cook himself, which could save some expenses.

"I'll go ask Sha Zhu later. If the Jia family doesn't ask him to prepare the banquet, let him be the chef." Preparing a big banquet is a very troublesome thing. It was not easy to get a day off, so he wanted to sit and wait for the banquet to start.

Of course, if Sha Zhu was asked by Jia Zhang to cook, he would have to be the chef himself.

"Can he come?" Yan Bugui was a little worried.

"Don't worry, if he doesn't come, let him raise pigs in the steel mill for the rest of his life." Chen Jun waved his hand indifferently, indicating that it was not a big problem.

This guy Sha Zhu works in the canteen that he manages. If he doesn't want him to cook, he will never be able to cook in his life.

It's a good opportunity to use this opportunity to temper his temper and improve his obedience.

If he can be more obedient in the future, the big pot dishes in Canteen No. 1 can be handed over to him.

"Row!"

Yan Bugui didn't say much about this, but picked up paper and pen and started writing and drawing on the paper.

From buying ingredients to the various processes, Yan Bugui knew it all clearly, so he wrote it very smoothly, as if he had prepared it in his mind.

Seeing Yan Bugui had written a full list in a short time, Chen Jun put down his teacup and reminded him, "Uncle, this is different from the usual banquet. You have to collect the gift money first, so this list is also different from the usual one!"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but stop writing.

Yes!

This wedding banquet was held with the money collected as gifts, so the standard was to be more sumptuous than ordinary banquets.

"It's not a big problem. I'll list the general items first, and when your third aunt collects the gift money, we'll make changes based on the amount of the gift money."

"By the way, you have to come with me when you go shopping for groceries. My bicycle can't carry so much stuff."

Chen Jun smiled when he heard that. "Don't bother. Just give me the list of ingredients later. I'll have the people from the purchasing department send it over. The price will be much cheaper than if we go buy it ourselves."

The steel rolling mill has a special purchasing department, and the vegetables and meat in the cafeteria are all purchased by people in the purchasing department.

They buy in large quantities, so the price is much cheaper than retail.

Chen Jun is now the deputy director. He can just give the purchasing department a heads-up and have them deliver the goods to his door after paying.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Yes!

Why didn't he think of this method? By purchasing the goods from the purchasing department, the cost of ingredients can be reduced and the money saved can be used to add two more dishes.

Tsk tsk, it’s better to be a leader. Even if you go to work in a disciplined manner, you can still enjoy some conveniences.

This kind of convenience is not comparable to that of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Although they both entered the factory early, they didn't get any position, not even a team leader.

"Okay, then I'll leave the food to you. I'll take care of the tables, chairs, and benches. When the time comes, everyone in the courtyard can get together and have enough." After a pause, Yan Bugui added, "If there's not enough space in the courtyard, we can borrow tables from Lao Liu and your family. That should be enough."

This was the first time that such a large-scale banquet was held in the courtyard, so Yan Bugui was not sure whether the space in the backyard could accommodate it.

"Okay, my house is more than enough to accommodate two tables, and if we tidy up the second uncle's house, we can also accommodate two tables." Chen Jun replied.

"Ok!"

Yan Bugui nodded happily.

Look at your Chen Jun. Even though he became the deputy director of the canteen, he was still very polite to this uncle.

Unlike that Jia Dongxu, who was very respectful to me before entering the factory, but became arrogant after entering.

Although they would say hello when they met, their tone seemed a bit perfunctory.

Tsk tsk, those who know him think that he has entered the factory to work as a fitter, while those who don’t know him think that he has become a leader.

After finishing the list, Yan Bugui picked up the red paper and blew on it, then said with satisfaction: "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the largest banquet in our hospital. The more people come, the richer the dishes will be."

"Look at this configuration. There are two big pork elbows on each table! I never dared to think of this before!"

Chen Jun smiled. This was not only the largest in scale, but also the one with the most food.

This is how much you earn and how much you spend!

Who would be willing to do this when hosting a banquet?

"As expected of you, you are a professional!" Chen Jun gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up.

After saying that, Chen Jun added: "By the way, if Jia Zhang knows about this, she will definitely explode. Let's..."

Before Chen Jun could finish, Yan Bugui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if she dares to cause trouble, I and Lao Liu will kick her out!"

"If you don't hold the banquet, we are still somewhat in the wrong, but now we have a reason not to go to the Jia family for the banquet, what right does she have to make trouble?"

"Uh...it has to be you, Third Uncle!"

Chen Jun's original intention was that Jia Zhang was causing trouble, so I had to confront him head-on.

But I didn’t expect Yan Bugui to be so fierce!

But think about it, now there are only two masters in charge of the courtyard, and their power has become greater than before.

Jia Zhang is making trouble even though she is not in the right at all, so the two masters in charge will definitely punish her!

After all, Liu Haizhong also donated money, so his family also has a share in the banquet.

What's more, this time Jia Zhang is standing against everyone in the courtyard. If she dares to overturn the table, no one else will tolerate her.

Not to mention Jia Zhang herself, even if the Jia family and the Yi family were tied together, they would not dare to do this.

Otherwise, everyone would attack Jia Zhang in a group, pin her to the ground and kick her around, and Yi Zhonghai wouldn't dare to say anything.

After the two of them finished discussing the banquet to be held the day after tomorrow, Yan Bugui said goodbye and left.

When passing by the central courtyard, I happened to run into Jia Zhang.

"Old Yan, stop right there!"

Yan Bugui's heart tightened and he subconsciously hid the things behind him.

"What's the matter?" Yan Bugui asked.

"What's the matter? My family is holding a banquet the day after tomorrow. You should come to my house early to help, okay?" Jia Zhang said righteously.

"hold head high!"
