Siheyuan: Don't call me a fool

Section Chief Zhang said, looking carefully at Director Li's face.

Director Li's body was trembling, and beads of sweat dripped down.

Director Yang snorted: "What else do you want to see? Tell me everything, and everything will satisfy you!"

Chapter 40

Director Li came with killing intent, but was easily defeated by He Yuzhu. Not only did he not get any evidence of He Yuzhu's embezzlement and kickbacks, but he also confirmed the evidence of his brother-in-law Wang Ming's kickbacks.

Moreover, he also offended Factory Manager Yang. If it wasn't for the sake of the elders in his factory, he would probably be implicated as well.

"Director Yang, it's all my fault. I was deceived by Wang Ming and wronged He Yuzhu, a good comrade. I sincerely apologize to him." Director Li was very clever, and when he saw something was wrong, he immediately put it down. posture, to keep his black hat.

"Hmph, remember from now on, Comrade He Yuzhu is in charge of the cafeteria, you, a layman, don't come here and talk nonsense." Director Yang said bluntly.

"Yes, yes." Director Li nodded and bowed.

Factory Manager Yang turned his face away and said apologetically to He Yuzhu: "Comrade Yuzhu, Director Li was reckless in this matter, and I hope you don't take it to heart, take your work seriously, and don't have any emotions."

He Yuzhu naturally looked comprehensible in front of Director Yang, and said with a smile: "Director Yang, look at what you said, Director Li is also for work, and I am also at fault. , don’t give Director Li face, I will definitely cooperate next time.”

But I have already secretly written it down in my heart: okay, the surname is Li, it will be unhappy if you dare to come to Lao Tzu, just wait, there will be a day when Lao Tzu will make you unhappy!

Factory Director Yang didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he turned his face to Director Li and said, "Old Li, look at Comrade Yuzhu's consciousness, and then look at you, aren't you ashamed?"

Director Li blushed and nodded again and again: "Thank you Comrade Yu Zhu for not remembering the villain's faults, and such things will never happen in the future."

"Okay, let's go, Comrade Yu Zhu and I still have something to talk about." Factory Manager Yang didn't have the heart to talk to him, and sent him away with a wave of his hand.Then he turned his face and said to He Yuzhu: "Comrade Yuzhu, I have an important task for you today."

He Yuzhu immediately said: "Director, you can order something."

"It's like this. The leader called today and said that there are guests at home, so I want you to go over and help cook a few dishes. In this way, you can arrange for others in the cafeteria. Go to the leader's house, and you must serve the leader. Well, this is related to the fate of our factory." Director Yang said.

He Yuzhu understood, no wonder Director Yang had unconditional trust and support for him today, and he didn't even give Director Li any face. The reason for his daring was because of the big leader.

It seems that even if Ma Hua doesn't come to look for him today, Director Yang will come to look for him.

He immediately agreed: "Okay, factory director, then I will go."

Back in the cafeteria, everyone was relieved to see him come back safely.

"Master, you are back, are you alright? We just saw the security department of the factory come over and take Wang Ming away, saying that he was corrupt and took kickbacks, and we are going to send him to the police station." Ma Hua hurried over and asked, Others also gathered around.

After He Yuzhu became the director of the cafeteria, he made the food in the cafeteria better and better every day. The workers and masters could eat meat every day, so they all praised the cafeteria staff, and the cafeteria staff felt more face when they went out. .

所以，今天看到李主任和王明为难报复首/发,于呆，呆群9；8"0？2ュ[email protected]?5♀6何雨柱，大家都从心里感到不平。

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "It's okay, don't you think I've come back well? I also have to thank this Wang Ming. He and Director Li have helped me prove it in a way so that everyone knows that I am innocent. Haha."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Director He, as long as you are fine, everyone knows your character. If you say you are corrupt and take kickbacks, who will believe it?"

"That's right, everyone knows that the meat that Director He buys is plentiful and good, and the vegetables are all fresh and cheap, and they are all eaten in front of the big guys. There is nothing tricky at all. Unlike him, Wang Ming , Everything is arranged by him alone, and others don't let anyone know, he is the real problem!"

"That's right, everyone can see Director He's character. How about Director Yang supporting him like this? This is called clearing oneself!"

"That's right..."

Amidst the praise, He Yuzhu saw two people coming in from outside. The clothes they were wearing were not the work clothes of the canteen of the rolling mill.

"You two, who are you looking for?" Ma Hua hurried forward and asked.

The two quickly said: "We are from the canteen of the steel mill. Our factory manager asked Director He to come over to find the canteen of the rolling mill."

"Are you two here to pull meat?" He Yuzhu greeted quickly.

The two masters nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Ma Hua introduced: "This is my master, and also Director He of the cafeteria."

"Hello, Director He." The master of the steel factory hurriedly gave He Yuzhu a cigarette.

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said no, then he took it directly to the scale and said, "No, these two pieces of meat are reserved for you, can you ask for so much?"

When the two masters saw it, their eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, yes, Director He, where did you get this meat? The way is amazing. Our factory usually can't make enough pork for a week. It's good for you. Now it's four pieces of pork!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "This is a secret."

The two masters nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is a secret, we understand, we don't ask."

In this day and age, the supply of pork is limited, so if you want to eat enough meat, you have to figure out your own way, so everyone tacitly agrees that meat is enough, and no one should care about other people's origins.

"That's right, let's go overboard, Ma Hua."

A few people lifted the two pieces of pork onto the scale and weighed it. It was 170 catties. Based on the price of 130 cents a catty, the total was [-] yuan and [-] cents.

"We have cash on us. The factory manager ordered us to pay you in cash."

The two masters readily took out the money and paid it to He Yuzhu, and then left with the pork.

As for the pork, vegetables, etc. in the canteen, when He Yuzhu was not around, Mahua also brought people to weigh them. He Yuzhu took the note signed by everyone and went to the finance department to settle the settlement of more than 270 yuan.

Today alone, He Yuzhu earned more than 400 yuan directly, and his pockets bulged a lot.

After receiving the money, he handed over the work of the cafeteria to Master Yang, who has the most seniority, and asked him to take care of it.

Before the arrangement was finished, the urging sound of a car horn sounded outside.

"Silly Zhu, hurry up, don't dawdle, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xu Damao stuck his head out of the car window and yelled loudly.

He Yuzhu was taken aback: "Xu Damao, are you going too?"

Xu Damao patted his chest and said proudly: "That's right, the leader not only asks people to cook, but also invites people to watch movies. Is it possible for me to do this?"

Chapter 41

Xu Damao is a film projectionist in a steel rolling mill. His daily job is to show movies. His job is leisurely and his salary is not low. Sometimes he goes to the countryside to show movies, and people often give him some souvenirs, so his life is still very enjoyable. .

However, he and Shazhu have never been on good terms, and the two always like to argue with each other.

And since He Yuzhu crossed over, he didn't pay attention to this "rival" at all. During this time, he was busy making money, and his mind was also on Qin Huairu's family, so he didn't have any conflicts with Xu Damao, and even had a relationship. None have been played.

Today, He Yuzhu was a little surprised that he and Xu Damao took the same car and went on the same "errand".

"Silly Zhu, you have been very prosperous recently. You have been promoted in the unit, became the director, and become a celebrity in front of the factory manager. The status in the courtyard is also high. Even the three uncles have to look at your face Talk." Xu Damao said flatteringly.

His words immediately made He Yuzhu understand why Xu Damao didn't have conflicts with him these days.

The reason lies in his own "official". Xu Damao is not a fool, but a very "smart" person. He sees that he has been promoted to an official and has become a celebrity in front of the factory director. Naturally, he will not be so stupid as to fight against himself. On the contrary, today I seem to be trying to please myself.

"Hey, those who are promoted or not are all doing construction for the motherland, and the division of labor is different." He Yuzhu said with a smile: "And I am not at all uncomfortable when I am an official, unlike you, as long as you put the movie on, you can relax. Feel free, don't worry. Just say today, Director Li still wants to investigate me."

Xu Damao immediately said: "I've heard about this, silly Zhu, everyone knows it, then Director Li is avenging his own personal revenge, and thinks that you smashed his brother-in-law's job, and wants to find fault with you. But there is a factory manager for you As a backer, I'm afraid that Director Li will be a fart! We must not let this matter go like this, so, if you are inconvenient to come forward, let this matter be handed over to me, and I will definitely help you vent your anger, buddy!"

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao in surprise.

Is this still Xu Damao from the TV series?

In the TV series, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were fighting against each other, and they were at odds, but now Xu Damao in front of him was complaining for himself and wanted to take revenge for himself.

It seemed that it was all due to his promotion!

However, He Yuzhu didn't take Xu Damao's initiative to get close to him seriously. This is a villain, and if you have milk, you are a mother. If you say this in front of yourself, maybe you will turn your face away, and it will be another picture for Director Li. face.

This vengeance, this tone, is naturally to be reported.But He Yuzhu doesn't want to rely on others, he has opportunities and means to deal with the enemy, why should he owe others?

He Yuzhu responded with a few words indiscriminately, and after a while, the car drove to the residence of the big leader.

The residence of the great leader looks inconspicuous. There is almost no difference between the leaders of this era and the masses. It is a small house with three bedrooms and one living room. The children of the leader do not live at home, only the leader and his wife are at home.

The big leader seemed to be waiting for them at the window. As soon as the car stopped, he opened the door and came out to greet them.

"Master He, you are finally here. Welcome. I'm sorry to trouble you here to help today. Does it affect your work?" The big leader extended his hand enthusiastically and shook He Yuzhu's hand.

He Yuzhu was neither humble nor overbearing, shook hands with the leader without restraint and said: "You are polite, the leader, it is my honor to serve you, and it is also an honor for our rolling mill. There are other masters watching in the factory, so it doesn't matter."

"That's fine, that's fine."

As the big leader said, he turned his face and introduced to his wife who came out with him: "Shufen, let me introduce you. This is the authentic Halal dish made by He Yuzhu and Master He that I told you about last time." , I have never eaten such an authentic Halal dish in my life, you have to try it today."

The leader's wife, surnamed Meng, is also a cadre in the agency. She also smiled and said: "Master Xiao He, Lao Xu praised you so much when he came back last time, which made me a little jealous. I have been with him all my life. I've never seen him miss me so much."

Everyone laughed, and He Yuzhu relaxed a lot, thinking that the leader's wife is really humorous, and the leader and his wife have no leadership airs at all, and they are too easy to get along with.

Xu Damao on the side looked at He Yuzhu enjoying himself in front of the big leader, and was even more envious. He kept rubbing his hands nervously, thinking about whether he would shake hands with the leader with one hand or two hands, and what would happen then? Greetings to the leader.But I didn't expect that the big leader just shook hands with He Yuzhu, and after making a few jokes, he invited them to go in together, without saying hello to him at all.

Xu Damao was annoyed for a while, and at the same time admired He Yuzhu more and more.

"Master He, the guests I invited will come soon. I will let them watch a movie first and then eat. I have about two hours to prepare meals for you. There are not many dishes, eight dishes. They are all Halal dishes, how about it? Can you handle it? If not, I will ask someone to help you." The big leader said.

He Yuzhu smiled: "Leader, just take care of your work, leave the kitchen to me, and you don't have to worry about it. When the time comes, the meal will definitely be served on time, and I will never embarrass you."

The big leader laughed and said: "It seems that I was thinking too much. Master He can easily cook for thousands of people in a factory, let alone seven or eight people like me. Okay, then I will leave this meal to you .”

After the big leader left, He Yuzhu was busy washing and cutting vegetables, and doing all kinds of preparations before cooking.

After a while, the big leader's guests came, and Xu Damao, who was ready, started to show the movie for the guests. The big leader stayed there to watch the movie with the guests, while the leader's wife, Aunt Meng, stayed in the kitchen curiously and watched He Yuzhu busy. .

"Master He, are you also a Muslim?" Aunt Meng asked.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, I just know how to order Halal dishes."

Aunt Meng praised: "I thought you were also a Muslim. I saw that when you prepared the dishes, your movements were exactly the same as those of the chefs in the halal restaurant. It seems that you are very clear about the taboos of the Muslims."

He Yuzhu smiled: "As cooks, we have to understand the customs and habits of the place or nation we want to cook. Otherwise, no matter how good the dishes are, if we violate other people's rules, then what? Not at all, not only will people not recognize you, but they will also kick you out of the house with your black nose and swollen eyes."

Aunt Meng was amused: "Master Xiaohe, what you said is very interesting, but it is also very meaningful. It seems that cooking is the same as being a person, and being an official. You must learn to adapt to local conditions and circumstances in order to be a good person. A good official truly serves the people well."

Chapter 42

What He Yuzhu said made Aunt Meng very emotional. The two of them were preparing dishes and chatting at the same time. Suddenly, the secretary of the chief executive came in hurriedly: "Aunt Meng, Master He, the chief asked me to come over and have a look. How long will it take to have dinner?"

He Yuzhu was taken aback, didn't he mean two hours later, why did he come to ask in advance.

Aunt Meng also asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? Xiao Liu, is something wrong?"

Secretary Liu glanced at He Yuzhu, and said in a low voice: "The master who is showing the movie over there is showing off while showing the movie, which makes the guests unhappy. The leader stopped the movie and see if Master He can prepare the food in advance."

It turned out that it was Xu Damao who stabbed him!

He Yuzhu held back his laughter, and quickly said, "Well, Secretary Liu, tell the leader that all the ingredients are ready on my side, and the dishes can start serving in half an hour."

Aunt Meng asked in surprise: "Half an hour? Is it really okay? But eight dishes, can you do it in half an hour by yourself?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "Aunt Meng, if you don't believe me, then watch here and see how I cook these eight dishes for you in half an hour."

Seeing how confident he was, Aunt Meng nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Liu, go tell the leader, I'm here to help Master He, and try to ensure that the meal is ready within half an hour."

After Secretary Liu left, Aunt Meng rolled up her sleeves and put on her apron: "Master Xiao He, just tell me what I can do for you."

He Yuzhu smiled and pushed her to the stool next to her, and said, "Aunt Meng, you still don't believe me, just sit here and watch, if I can't put the food on within half an hour today, I will take it off later. Signboard, I will never be a chef again."

"This..." Aunt Meng smiled helplessly: "No, don't talk about that, it's okay if it's a little later." She stood aside and watched.

He Yuzhu fastened his apron, picked up the frying spoon, and turned on the stove. As soon as the fire was turned on, he seemed to be a different person.With a serious expression and flying shovels and spoons, it's like directing a special symphony.

After more than 20 minutes, He Yuzhu put down the shovel, took off the chef's hat on his head, and said with a smile: "Aunt Meng, I'm not bragging, am I?"

At this time, Aunt Meng finally came back to her senses, and looked down at the plates neatly placed on the chopping board, each of which was steaming hot and fragrant, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao He, you really The most important thing is that it opened my eyes. Before your uncle said how good your cooking skills are, I didn't quite believe it. Today you really impress me."

While talking, Secretary Liu opened the door and came in: "Aunt Meng, the leader asked me to see if the food is ready."

Aunt Meng quickly said: "Okay, everything is ready, we can start the dinner, come on, Xiao Liu, help us serve the dishes."

Secretary Liu was also very surprised to see that eight dishes had been cooked hot in such a short period of time.

So I hurried to serve the food, and the big leader over there was enthusiastically introducing to the guests: "Everyone, everyone, when you come to my house today, I can only let you eat a halal dish. But I assure you that today's halal dish will definitely satisfy you. Because this little chef is so skilled in cooking."

Everyone was skeptical at first, but when they saw the dishes served by Secretary Liu, their eyes widened.

Each of these dishes is rich in color and aroma, which makes people appetite at first sight.Although the people here are not Muslims, after seeing these beautiful halal dishes, everyone couldn't help but eager to taste them.

"Come, come, everyone, don't be too polite, and you'll know if I've boasted for this little master after you taste it." The big leader said enthusiastically, holding his chopsticks.

Everyone tried a sip, and immediately began to praise one by one.

"The big leader is right, the dishes made by this chef are really extraordinary!"

"That's right, I didn't eat much Halal food before, but this Halal food really whetted my appetite."

"That's right, this dish is really good. Chief, where did you find this chef? Does he only cook Halal dishes?"
