The life of a villain in a courtyard

At noon the next day, Sha Zhu felt even more upset when he saw that the cafeteria was only half occupied.

In the past, their cafeteria was always packed at noon, and there was always a long line at the food window. If you came late, you couldn’t even get a meal. Today, even half of the dishes were left unsold.

He feels tired when there are too many people, and feels uncomfortable when there are too few people.

On the other hand, in the third canteen, the seats were full of people, the chef at the food window was talking until his mouth was dry, and there was a long queue at the food window.

"Master Nan, do you have any more chicken stewed with potatoes?"

"No more, all sold out! We still have some tofu and eggplant, would you like some? I'll charge you one portion."

The third canteen prepared three dishes today: spicy tofu, braised eggplant with sauce, and stewed chicken with potatoes. They were all sold out in less than half an hour.

"Give me a taste of the tofu."

"It tastes good! Let me have a bite of your eggplant!"

"Delicious, delicious. How did Master Nan make this dish? My wife and he make the same dish, but they are two completely different things!"

Just when everyone was focusing on eating, a sneaky figure came in.

Who else could it be but Sha Zhu?

"Master He, why are you here too? Are you here to eat?"

a welder asked.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to take advantage of the time when others were not paying attention to try the food in the second cafeteria.

Who ever wanted to be called out?

"Ah! Nothing much, I just came to walk around and eat."

Shazhu was a little embarrassed.

"Eating."

"Silly Zhu, have you eaten yet? Have some with you?"

"No, no, I've already eaten. You guys take your time eating. I'm leaving first."

To avoid embarrassment, he had to leave.

"Hey! Look, isn't that Shazhu? Why is he here?"

"Who knows, maybe he'd like to try Master Nan's cooking."

Su Yun took a bite of potato and guessed.

"It's possible. I heard that Nan Yi cooked the small canteen yesterday. Director Li was very satisfied and directly promoted Nan Yi to a level 6 cook! Sha Zhu has been working for so many years and is only a level 7 cook. No one would feel comfortable with this!"

"Let's not talk about him. How about you, Brother Liu? Last month you said you were going to be promoted to a higher level. Did you succeed?"

"Of course it worked, I'll get a raise next month!"

"Wow! This is great news, it's your treat!"

"Look at what you said, you will definitely benefit from it!"

……

Siheyuan Shazhu’s house.

"Didn't you promise me to stop drinking? Why are you drinking again?!"

"Don't mind your own business!"

He shook off his wife's hand and poured himself another glass.

A few months ago, on the day his wife found out she was pregnant, Sha Zhu promised to quit drinking, but he broke his promise today.

"Dad! Look at my brother! He's drinking again!"

He Yushui called He Daqing over.

"Silly Zhu, you are a man, you can't go back on your words!"

He Daqing snatched the wine from Sha Zhu's hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Dad, I'm not in a good mood. Please let me have two drinks! Just two."

"Why are you drinking? If you encounter any difficulties, just speak up. We are a big family. What can't we talk about? You have to drink. If you drink too much, you will get drunk and act crazy! What if you hurt your wife and children?"

"Okay, I have to drink."

"That's pretty much it."

After putting the wine back in the kitchen, He Daqing sat opposite Sha Zhu.

"Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"It's okay, I'm going back to sleep."

"Why are you sleeping? Can you sleep? Still pretending in front of me! I'm your dad, and I know what shit you're going to do as soon as you stick your butt out!"

Under pressure, Sha Zhu spoke out the problem that had been bothering him for many days.

To put it bluntly, it's his self-esteem that's at work. He thinks he is the best chef in the steel mill.

But as soon as Nan Yi arrived, he took away his small kitchen and made the third canteen full again.

"You just don't accept it! You don't accept that Nan Yi's cooking skills are better than yours, right?"

"Who said he's a better cook than me? We haven't competed with each other."

"That's not easy. I'll go find him tomorrow. You two can compete at the weekend. I'll be the judge and see who's better. How about that?"

"it is good!"

A fire called fighting spirit burned in Sha Zhu's eyes. Ever since he started learning cooking, no one has ever been better than him.

The next day, He Daqing came to Nan Yi's house and was about to knock on the door when it opened.

"Uncle He, why are you here?"

"Xiao Su, you are here too?"

"Yes, Master Nan asked me to get him something. Why are you here?"

"Hi! My son wants to compete with Nan Yi in cooking skills. I want to ask Nan Yi for his opinion."

"Compare cooking skills? Great! When?"

Nan Yi didn't think too much about it and just regarded this competition as an opportunity to learn.

"Come to my house this weekend and I'll be the judge for both of you, how about that?"

"Then it's settled!"

In the next two days, Sha Zhu seemed to be energized and full of fighting spirit. He worked hard to practice his cooking skills in the cafeteria, intending to give Nan Yi a heavy blow at the weekend.

"Ma Hua, what happened to your master? Why did he suddenly become so diligent?"

"do not know."

Ma Hua shook his head, and Sha Zhu told him nothing.

"How about you go and ask?"

"I'm not going. He won't tell me."

"Director Wang, please try the food I cooked."

For the first time, Sha Zhu brought a dish to Director Wang from the cafeteria.

"Hmm? What do you want from me?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"Really do not have."
