Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Think again and again,

Yu Haitang didn't say much in the end, but just kept this matter deeply in mind.

"Sister, what is He Yuzhu's current administrative rank?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Director level, right? What's wrong?"

Yu Li was a little puzzled by her sister's sudden question.

"As a factory director at this level, He Yuzhu must be equipped with a secretary, right?"

"Can you recommend me to be his secretary?"

"You wish!"

Yu Li couldn't help but roll her eyes at her sister, then smiled helplessly and said, "Even if I want to help recommend her, the rules state that only men can serve as secretaries to men. If you're a girl, it's easy to cause unnecessary speculation and trouble."

"That's it..."

Yu Haitang felt a little regretful.

It would be great if I could become He Yuzhu's secretary.

This way I can always be with him.

Unfortunately the regulations do not allow this.

However, she can be her sister's secretary.

Since there is no job in the Propaganda Department and I cannot be the head of the Propaganda Department, it would be nice to be my sister's secretary.

Yu Haitang pondered the idea for a moment, but quickly gave it up.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been better than her sister in every aspect, and she is still very proud of it.

Now my sister has become the deputy general manager, and I am still a broadcaster, which makes me feel very awkward.

I really don't want to be her secretary and follow her orders.

Who would like to?

After leaving the courtyard,

He Yuzhu walked along the street for a while and couldn't help but stop.

Qin Huairu was seen standing under the street light with an indifferent expression.

"I have to go to the hospital, can you take me there?"

Qin Huairu's eyes were full of anticipation.

He Yuzhu was silent for a while, then left.

Qin Huairu bit her lips tightly and pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands.

Looking at the direction he left,

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him.

It's not too late.

There are still quite a few pedestrians on the street.

Two people walking side by side.

As they walked, they came to a noodle restaurant.

Everything is operating normally at the steel mill.

After a period of adaptation, the workers in the instant noodle factory gradually mastered the technology, the production line was fully operational, and large quantities of instant noodles were continuously produced.

The Spring Festival welfare arrangement is as follows: every employee in the two factories can get a box of instant noodles.

During this Spring Festival, many families tasted instant noodles for the first time and fell in love with it at once.

Whether you eat it dry or soak it in water, it is delicious.

Even the most ordinary cabbage becomes much more delicious after adding seasoning packets and sauce packets.

Just like that, instant noodles became popular in Beijing.

The phone in the factory kept ringing with messages from other manufacturers requesting to buy instant noodles.

But the profit from selling these in the country is not high.

He Yuzhu simply held on to the inventory and didn't sell it.

But people's enthusiasm for buying is growing.

People who are familiar with the business come directly to purchase, and those who are not familiar with the business also try their best to use their connections to find a way.

Seeing this situation, He Yuzhu decided not to continue stockpiling goods.

But if we sell it, it will affect the opportunity to earn foreign exchange through exports.

He Yuzhu came up with a solution - selling at a high price, hoping to dissuade some buyers.

It was thought that this would be effective, but in reality, although the price was higher, it did not completely dampen consumers' enthusiasm, and inventory was reduced by half in an instant.

This made He Yuzhu feel surprised and helpless, and he had to find another solution.

Raising prices is obviously not an option. In the domestic market, this price is already outrageous enough.

So, he thought of implementing a purchase restriction policy:

Only half of the daily output is sold, and the remaining half is still used for export in exchange for foreign exchange as planned.

After some calculations, He Yuzhu felt that at this rate, the first batch of goods could be shipped to Japan shortly after the New Year. This time would be considered a process of opening up the market and finding sales channels.

He also plans to go to Japan in person after the New Year to make preparations.

At this moment,

My aunt called.

Said there were two things to discuss:

The first thing to do is to buy some instant noodles.

Well, that's not much to talk about, after all it means that inventory will be reduced by about one-third again.

The second thing was to ask He Yuzhu whether he wanted to visit the United States in a few days.

It is the Chinese New Year, and I wanted to spend this festive reunion holiday at home with my wife and children, so naturally I didn't want to go out.

But just as he was answering this question, a pair of tearful eyes flashed before his eyes, making him hesitate.

I originally intended to say "I don't want to go", but in the end it turned into a hesitant "Hmm..."

"What do you mean? Are you really going to America?"

Lou Xiao'e was obviously not happy to hear this news.

"There is no other way..."

After much difficulty, Lou Xiao'e was tricked into staying at the Siheyuan for a few days under the pretext of a family reunion, but in the end, they had to separate before the good times even began...

It makes me upset just thinking about it.

But since I have already agreed, I can only swallow the bitter fruit.

He Yuzhu gave a brief explanation of the situation.

Lou Xiao'e was still unhappy. She hugged his arm and said dissatisfiedly:

"You are not indispensable. It won't make a difference if you are gone. Can't we find someone to replace you?"

He Yuzhu pretended to be helpless, sighed and said:

"Director Yang is in Germany and hasn't come back yet;"

“Some things are inevitable.”

He paused, then said gently and comfortingly:

"Don't worry, this is only temporary. I will stay at home and spend my life with you guys."

"Who needs your company, huh..."

Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose and looked very unhappy.

Although Ran Qiuye was reluctant, he understood the importance of this matter.

However, seeing that Lou Xiao'e was in a bad mood, she didn't say anything like "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything at home."

If I said that, people would think that Lou Xiao'e was being unreasonable while I was being reasonable, which would not sound good.

"Xiao'e is right. We don't want you to accompany us."

Ran Qiuye held Lou Xiaoe's arm and expressed his views together:

"We can get by just fine without you."

“You guys are doing well, but I’m not.”

He Yuzhu deliberately pretended to be disappointed and hugged the two men's shoulders:

"Even if I don't see you for a minute, I will miss you very much;"

"One day without seeing you seems like a long time;"

"I'll be away for more than ten days or half a month this time, but it feels like decades. When I think about not being able to see you for such a long time, I feel very sad..."

These words moved Lou Xiao'e so much that she leaned into his arms and hugged him even tighter.

Although Ran Qiuye was more rational, she also felt very uncomfortable, so she snuggled up to him tightly.

next to,

He Nianqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Really, it’s just a business trip for a few days, is it necessary to make such a big deal?

It's so corny that it gives me goosebumps.

She glanced at Sisi beside her and found that she still had a cold face and was concentrating on reading, as if she didn't hear it.

He Nianqiu was very envious of Sisi's ability to let things go in one ear and out the other.

Look at the little lamp next to her that is imitating her.

He Nianqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes again.

This traitor, I became Sisi's little follower as soon as she came back. Don't expect me to play with her in the future!

She muttered something angrily.

He Nianqiu frowned.

Dad is going to America.

This was already anticipated from the photographs of that period.

So He Nianqiu was not surprised.

But she knew that Zhou Xiaobai was also in America.

As an international student, I will definitely go to pick you up at the airport.

That is,

Dad is going to meet Zhou Xiaobai.

Thinking of this,

He Nianqiu was excited but also depressed.

What's the point of meeting?

Everything is different now.

They have no emotional foundation, and in this case it's just a greeting.

What is missed is missed.

Nothing can be changed.

Thinking of this unchangeable result,

He Nianqiu was so sad that she couldn't help crying.

"Uncle, Nianqiu is crying..."

Xiao Xiao Deng reminded quietly.

He Yuzhu quickly let go of his two wives and coaxed his daughter in his arms:

"Don't cry, Nianqiu. Don't cry. Dad will be back soon."

My daughter is always so thoughtful.

When I heard that my father was going out, I couldn't bear to let him go and started crying.

This made He Yuzhu feel warm and happy:

"Good boy Nianqiu, Dad will be back in a few days."

Ran Qiuye stepped forward and gently patted Nian Qiu on the back.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Nianqiu who was crying non-stop.

Looking at Sisi who was sitting on the side with a cold face and reading without any reaction, I felt very frustrated.

I wonder why there is such a big difference between the same children...

Nianqiu is so young, but he knows how to stick to his father. He is so well-behaved.

Sisi had a stern face and was not moved at all.

I get angry just thinking about not standing up for my mother.

The girl didn't cry, but Xiao'e wanted to cry instead.

Coaxed for a while.

Nian Qiu stopped crying.

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lou Xiao'e looked unhappy and depressed.

Looking at Sisi who was still reading with a serious face,

He Yuzhu understood what was going on.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart.

He walked up to her, picked up Sisi and kissed her.

"Sisi, are you reluctant to let dad go out? Listen to mom at home, dad will bring you a gift..."

Sisi frowned, her face still cold.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her like this, feeling helpless and a little soft-hearted.

My daughter has been like this since she was young, and there is really nothing I can do about her.

It doesn't make people feel that warm. Men are more considerate.

Seeing that He Yuzhu did not favor one over the other, Lou Xiao'e was delighted and excitedly went forward to hug him.

I must try harder and give birth to a caring and sensible daughter.

During dinner in the evening.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively with the return of Lou Xiao'e and Sisi.

He Yushui sat with Nianqiu on one side and Sisi on the other. She hugged one and then hugged the other, and she was particularly happy playing the role of aunt.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu wanted to make her happier, so he suggested, "Yushui, Sisi doesn't come back often, and she has become quite unfamiliar with you. You can hold her and Nianqiu to sleep tonight, so that you can keep in touch with them."

"Okay!"

He Yushui nodded happily.

Lou Xiao'e understood that it was her man who was playing tricks on her. Her face turned slightly red and she glared at him.

He Yuzhu remained calm and pretended he saw nothing.

Ran Qiuye heard the hidden meaning in the words, her ears turned red, and she glanced at Lou Xiaoe secretly.

Coincidentally, Lou Xiao'e also looked over.

Their eyes met and they immediately looked away as if it was nothing, but their faces turned even redder.
