Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 92 Thoughts

The next morning.

As soon as Zhou Weimin opened the door, he saw Xu Damao leaning against the door smoking.

"Brother Damao, how long have you been waiting? Why didn't you knock on the door and call me to get up?"

Xu Damao opened the cloth bag on the back seat, revealing the contents, and asked uncertainly, "We just arrived, and it's almost time, so I'll have a cigarette to refresh myself. Wei Min, take a look and see if these things are enough. If not, I'll go back and get more."

"Almost done. I also purchased some things. We can just take them to the warehouse when the time comes."

Zhou Weimin took a quick look and saw that Xu Damao had a lot of dried goods, pork, and sausages in his bag, more than enough for a meal.

Then he continued, "Brother Damao, please help me call the guards. I'll get ready and we'll go to the factory together. For breakfast, just buy two fried dough sticks at the entrance of the alley."

"That's enough. I'll go call the guards."

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, tied the bag up again, and walked towards Guard Zhou's room with a smile.

Ten minutes later, the three of them were eating fried dough cakes and riding on the way to the steel mill.

"Brother Damao, it will only take a few days at most, don't be impatient."

Zhou Weimin looked at Xu Damao, whose face was filled with joy, and couldn't help but remind him.

"It's okay to wait a few more days. How can I not believe you?"

Xu Damao, who was immersed in a beautiful fantasy, shook the oil cake indifferently after hearing the words, and then asked with some expectation: "Wei Min, Nan Yi, who you asked me to inquire about before, has been transferred to our factory this year, right?"

"I tried the dish yesterday. It's much better than Sha Zhu's. He will be the one to serve today."

Zhou Weimin couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this, so he told him the news he wanted to hear.

This guy is living a good life and he is just thinking about making Shazhu unlucky.

"Hahaha, that's great. Let's see how Shazhu will show off in the future."

When Xu Damao heard the news, he immediately burst into laughter.

Throughout the rest of the journey, Xu Damao's smile never stopped.

The three of them came to the steel rolling mill. After parking the car, Zhou Weibing went to a workshop, while Zhou Weimin and Xu Damao took the things to the Finance Department to put them into the warehouse.

The reason why they came so early was to let fewer people see the things in their hands. After all, these are hot-selling goods these days, and some people would inevitably become jealous when they see them.

……

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were also on their way to the steel rolling mill.

"Zhu Zi, you must remember what I told you. Zhou Weimin has just become the deputy director of the cafeteria. You can't hand him the handle and give him a reason to target you."

Yi Zhonghai had said this several times along the way, but thinking of Sha Zhu's temper, he couldn't help but remind him again.

He Yuzhu scratched his ears and said disapprovingly: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

He wanted to deal with Zhou Weimin, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't convince him either. The man was still his immediate superior, and no one depended on him for reception. Even if he was angry, he had to hold it in.

"Zhu Zi, you don't have to worry too much. The leaders in the factory are used to your cooking. Even if the new chef is quite skilled, they are just trying to find something new. Before long, you will definitely be the one to entertain them again."

Qin Huairu smiled and comforted He Yuzhu, but she had other thoughts in her mind.

Before, when Shazhu could bring back a lunch box, their family would get some oil and water every now and then.

But in this situation, Sha Zhu himself probably doesn't have enough to eat, how can he afford to help their family? He has to think of other ways to make up for it. The children are growing up, they can't starve, they must have more oil and water.

"Hey, Nan Yi's cooking skills are just so-so. I just didn't think about it before. I will start to think about it today. I will definitely be better than him in the future."

He Yuzhu boasted shamelessly, and he also made up his mind to improve his skills.

He used to be the best cook in the factory, but he thought there was no need to hone his skills. As his cooking skills deteriorated instead of improving, Zhou Weimin found someone to beat him.

As long as he works hard at it, his skills will surely surpass Nan Yi's. Let Zhou Weimin show off for a while, there will be plenty of opportunities to make him bow his head in the future.

"Zhu Zi, you are right to think so. Bring some leftovers from the cafeteria to help Huai Ru these days. Her family has three children and the salary is not enough for them to eat."

Yi Zhonghai nodded without commenting on He Yuzhu's statement, and then changed the subject and talked about Qin Huairu's family.

"Okay, then I'll bring back some leftovers from the kitchen. Sister Qin, you can just make do with this for now."

He Yuzhu had no doubts and agreed immediately.

In the past, when he entertained guests, he would not hesitate to fight with the people in the kitchen for the soups and waters. Now that Sister Qin's family wants it, he will just bring it.

"It's not enough. I can't thank you enough."

Having something is better than having nothing, and Qin Huairu doesn't mind it at all.

After all, Sha Zhu has only been supporting their family for a short time, and he hasn't spoiled the Jia family's appetites, otherwise the leftovers in the kitchen would be looked down upon by the Jia family in the future.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little relieved as he watched the conversation between the two.

It's good to have contact. If there is no lunch box as a contact, the relationship will eventually fade.

However, this is only a temporary solution. The matter of Nan Yi in the kitchen still needs to be properly dealt with.

He didn't know yesterday and hadn't had time to find out. Today he had to find someone to find out Nan Yi's background.

Since he can't touch Zhou Weimin for the time being, he can only start from Nan Yi.

……

in the afternoon.

Yang Shibin, Li Huaide, the textile factory director Xu Benming and deputy director Xue Dingjiang were sitting in a small box in the fourth canteen, chatting and laughing.

"Old Yang, I've been to your factory so many times, but this is the first time I've eaten in your fourth canteen. Why did Master He ask for leave today?"

Before the dishes were served, Xu Benming, the director of the textile factory, casually started a conversation.

"How can you ask for leave right after you start work? Don't ask me about this, Old Xu. It was Old Li who arranged it today."

Yang Shibin shook his head, chuckled and put the blame on Li Huaide.

He originally wanted He Yuzhu to be the host for today, but Li Huaide insisted that the new chef had better skills, so he arranged the reception in the fourth canteen.

If Xu Benming is not satisfied today, he will have an excuse to criticize Li Huaide.

Xu Benming looked at Li Huaide in surprise, and said half-jokingly: "Oh? Lao Li, don't tell me that your factory has a new chef. I have to borrow someone from you."

"Hey, Old Xu, why don't you try Master Nan Yi's cooking first? Master He is also borrowing, and Master Nan is also borrowing. I don't know which one you will want to borrow when the time comes."

Li Huaide narrowed his eyes and smiled. He knew what Yang Shibin was thinking. He would wait for the food to be served soon. He wondered if Yang Shibin would regret what he said now.
