Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"Brother, have you announced it through the radio?"

"I've been notified. I'm making preparations. Let's go!"

Li Huaide asked: "Won't it be postponed until tomorrow?"

He Yuzhu said without hesitation: "No, the earlier you go, the sooner you can come back."

Just like that, Li Huaide ran to negotiate with the deputy factory director Zhou, while Sun Hongsheng rushed to the cafeteria to prepare meals for He Yuzhu and the others. Sun Hongsheng mobilized: "Zhuzi, notify the security department and ask them to prepare the carry-on bags for your companions."

He Yuzhu expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

When he arrived at the security department dormitory, he said, "The guys are all warming themselves by the fire."

"Section Chief..."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down. "Squad Leader Zhao, please organize the people from Team 2 to go together."

Zhao Jianshe asked, "Are you going there by car?"

He nodded: "Yes, if there is any spare time, let's bring back some supplies."

Then he ordered: "Go to the transport team and find a car and some people who can drive. Remember, be on call 24 hours a day, and two shifts will take turns driving. A skilled person who can repair the car is essential to prevent problems that cannot be handled on the road."

"We are all novice drivers and our skills are not good enough. Even if we can start the car, we will be helpless if it breaks down on the road, especially in winter when the temperature is low and the roads are slippery."

This worry is reasonable. If they were truly skilled, they would have already made their mark in other fields, and it wouldn't have been He Yuzhu's turn to beg for a job in a steel mill.

For short distances, they drove smoothly, but for long distances, especially in winter, He Yuzhu was always worried. However, they should be able to cope with some challenges in summer.

Zhao Jianshe made some contact and the people from Team 2 also started packing their bags.

"I'll go back and pack my luggage too. When you're done, gather in the cafeteria!"

After that, He Yuzhu returned to his office, rolled up the quilt and pillow on the bed, and put them into a woven bag. Then he picked up the luggage bag and used the system to exchange some food to fill it in, in case it was too hard to sleep outdoors on the road.

Arriving at the canteen, Sun Hongsheng was very active. The chefs were preparing steamed white flour buns, and the jars of pickled vegetables were ready.

Sun Hongsheng said: "You can take these bacon."

Facing the ten kilograms of bacon, He Yuzhu said gratefully: "Brother Sun, thank you so much."

"What are you talking about? Let's help each other." Sun Hongsheng said with a smile.

"With these bacon, everyone can stew something delicious when eating over there, and there won't be too many complaints."

Sun Hongsheng suggested: "Speaking of this, you can also bring cabbage, potatoes and kelp."

He Yuzhu readily agreed: "Okay."

He turned to Wen Zhijie and said, "Wen Zhijie, take your assistant to the storage room and bring a sack of cabbage and potatoes."

After receiving a positive reply, Wen Zhijie immediately went to the warehouse to do it.

At this time, the transport team arrived and the vehicles were ready. He Yuzhu and Sun Hongsheng came outside together.

"Don't forget to lay a layer of sacks and cardboard at the rear of the carriage. The workers and security personnel can't stay awake!" he said.

The transport team leader replied: "Chief He, there is also a tarpaulin that can serve as a mattress."

Although the cargo compartment was covered with tarpaulin for insulation, the weather was cold and He Yuzhu still tried his best to ensure everyone was warm.

Sun Hongsheng then suggested: "There are foam materials and felt in the material warehouse over there. Send someone to get some."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, and then asked the security personnel to go to the warehouse to pick it up.

They also took out coal stoves, fire barrels and coal briquettes from the warehouse.

Deputy Director Zhou began to visit every workshop. The skilled old workers were reluctant to travel far, but when they saw the director in front of them, they did not dare to refuse easily.

Deputy Director Zhou understood their concerns, but he explained:

“This is a mandate and there is no way around it.”

"And the factory will provide subsidies. Although it is just to support construction, there are also senior consultants in the industry. This is a great opportunity for you to improve your skills and personal development!"

"Each department will send at least one skilled craftsman to give everyone some time to go home and inform and prepare their luggage."

"The canteen has already started preparing lunch. We'll set off as soon as it's finished."

He Yuzhu went to Zhengyang Gate.

"Xueru."

"I'm about to go on a business trip to the Northeast, and I want to know if Chen's Cloth Shop has any sales channels for leather products?"

Chen Xueru said confidently: "Of course we have it. Even if we don't have it, we can sell it directly."

"Well, this time we are heading north, we plan to use trucks for transportation."

"At what price should I buy the furs?"

Chen Xueru considered He Yuzhu's lack of experience and reminded him, "You are not familiar with this business and you are easy to be deceived."

"How about this, come with me to the office, I'll arrange for my dad's people to accompany you to go shopping."

When the two men walked into the office, He Yuzhu told them the purpose of his visit frankly.

Chen Gensheng said, "I did run a leather business earlier, but I think you understand what has happened in the past two years. It's been too chaotic."

"So the leather business was forced to stop, and we dared not even think about going out to purchase goods. If we were robbed on the road, we would have nowhere to cry."

He Yuzhu understood the hardships involved. The furs were very valuable, and if there was a heavy loss, the Chen family would be seriously damaged.

"In this case, we can try to cooperate."

"Uncle Chen, this time, Deputy Director Li Chang, Sun Hongsheng and I are all willing to invest!"

"You can send an experienced master with funds to Chen Ji and act accordingly. We will collect as much as we can and split the profits 50-50. You take the lion's share and we only take half."

"But it's better to sell the furs directly back to the capital to avoid more twists and turns."

Chen Gensheng agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

He Yuzhu was trying to help him make some money, and he had the security department to protect him, plus he had the means of transportation, so he could just sit back and reap the benefits for free.

"After the leather goods are shipped back, I will immediately contact other merchants and process them in batches."

He Yuzhu agreed: "Time is running out, you should start preparing manpower and funds now."

Chen Gensheng asked in confusion: "In such a hurry?"

"Time waits for no one. I want to set off before dark," He Yuzhu replied.

"I'll arrange it right away!" After saying that, Chen Gensheng quickly brought a master craftsman and Chen Qingsong into the store.

"Zhu Zi, I'll leave these two to you. Take your luggage and leave immediately."

The original plan was that only someone from the Chen family would participate, but then they thought that Chen Gensheng wanted to train his children and was not willing to easily entrust a large sum of money to others.

Chen Qingsong seemed unhappy. He was not keen on business, but he reluctantly agreed at his father's request.

Chen Xueru interjected and suggested: "Dad, can I go with Zhuzi?"

Chen Gensheng firmly objected: "Stop it, how can a girl like you go out and do things!"

"The great leader said that women can also hold up the sky. Besides, I have the pillars to protect me, so I'll be fine."
