Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Li Guohua drives to work during the day, brings some food home after get off work in the evening, and returns to his nine-to-five life.

That day, when he was drinking tea in the logistics office, Hu Qingyou suddenly ran in and told him that his master Liu Laoshi had been beaten up.

It turned out that Liu Laoshi was not careful in his work and brought leftovers home every day, which were discovered by others.

So a few hungry guys put a sack on him on the road at night, and not only robbed him of his things, they also knocked him unconscious. He was not discovered until his family came to look for him in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, otherwise Liu Laoshi would be in danger.

"Old Liu, just focus on your recovery and come back when you're better. The factory can't do without you!" Li Guohua saw the weak Liu Laoshi in the hospital.

That group of people are really vicious. There is not a single spot on Liu Laoshi's body that is bad. This is not just robbery, this is murder.

"I know my own body well. Now that I'm old, it's better for me to step down and let the younger people take over!" Liu Laoshi said weakly.

In fact, he was somewhat familiar with the people who beat him last night. It seemed that they were from his own village. Thinking about it now, he felt a little disheartened.

"Old Liu, you are only in your fifties and you can still work for another twenty years! If you have any difficulties at home, I will help you solve the problem!" Li Guohua said sincerely, holding his calloused hand.

Liu Laoshi was the only sixth-level cook in the textile factory, and he knew everything about the factory. He was indispensable for entertaining leaders and welcoming guests. When he first took over the logistics, he helped him manage the canteen, which was like his right-hand man.

"Guohua, thank you. Your children are not young anymore. You might as well take over my position so that you can have a future!"

His idea was very simple. First, he didn't want to waste Li Guohua's favor. Second, Li Guohua was now the director of logistics, and they had a good relationship. If he let his child go to work in the factory earlier, he could still help him in the future.

"Then who do you think is suitable to take over your job in the cafeteria?" Seeing that Liu Laoshi was determined to quit, Li Guohua was at a loss.

"Qingyou has been with me for two years. He's good at making big-pot meals, but he's still lacking some skills in cooking banquets. Guohua, you'd better find another chef!" Liu Laoshi was stunned for a long time and found that there was no one to succeed him.

The canteen of the textile factory is different from the restaurants outside. Most of them have never had a master, and they have not inherited the tradition. They all learn to cook in a big pot. Even if the chef cooks in a small pot, the color, aroma and taste can meet one or two of the standards.

Liu Laoshi was different. Before liberation, an uncle from the same family paid for a senior to introduce him to a restaurant to work. He worked as a wage earner for three years, a waiter for three years, an apprentice for three years, and it took him ten years to officially become a disciple.

After getting started, you learn the classic cooking methods of each major cuisine. The cooking method is very strict and you cannot have any other ideas.

It was also because of these foundations that he was able to support his family in the old society and lead a group of people to become a famous chef in the surrounding area.

"Okay!" Li Guohua nodded.

I understand what Liu Laoshi said, and the chefs from other canteens are not as good as him.

Actually, I don't mind this banquet. It's just that the textile factory has too many contacts, and often has to entertain leaders and comrades from brother units. Some people are very particular about this, so I can only be humble.

Machine repair shop

Liang Ladi carried her lunch box to the big tree and ate lunch alone.

It’s not that anyone bullied her. No one dared to bully her in the machine repair factory. She just missed her children, Da Mao, Er Mao, and Xiu’er.

In the past, it was so annoying when several people and children surrounded her and chattered.

Now that it's suddenly gone, I feel empty inside again.

Well, for lunch I had black steamed buns made from cornmeal and coarse grains, and cabbage as a vegetable. Since the children were not around, I could finally fill my stomach.

Just when she was in a daze, suddenly a pair of strong hands hugged her from behind, and she was so scared that she almost dropped her lunch box.

"Let me go! I'm going to call for help!" Liang Ladi shouted nervously.

In the past, she held hands with men everywhere just for a bite of food, but that was limited to holding hands, and she didn't dare to do anything else. Now, whoever dares to hug me so boldly must be killed.

"Well, go ahead and shout!"

A young and slightly ruffian voice came from behind.

"Let go quickly, or someone will see us!"

When Liang Ladi knew who was coming, her body suddenly softened. This time she did not resist, but instead begged for mercy.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of being seen this time?" Li Guohua asked with a smile.

"Hmph, where are my children? What did you do to them?" Liang Ladi saw that he was becoming more and more dishonest and quickly pushed him away.

This happened in public. If someone saw it, how would I live my life in the future?

"Sell the child! Exchange him for food!" Li Guohua joked.

After not seeing her for a few months, Liang Ladi seems a little less lovely.

"I will fight with you. Give me back my child. Give me back my child!" Liang Ladi was shocked. She thought Li Guohua had really sold him to her, so she tried her best to beat and catch him.

"Hiss, are you really biting me? I was just kidding!"

There was a deep bite mark on Li Guohua's arm, and he gasped in pain.

"Who told you to do that? Now we're even!"

Liang Ladi also reacted at this time. He was so young and a cadre, how could he do such a thing.

"Why did you come at this time today? I have work to do in the afternoon. Why don't you come in the evening?" Liang Ladi asked with a blushing face.

He thought that Li Guohua had gotten greedy and wanted to do something bad again.

"What kind of idea do you have? Can't I do my official business in the machine repair shop?" Li Guohua said seriously.

Okay, you are amazing, you are noble, tonight you will beg me, Liang Ladi thought secretly,

"I want to transfer Nan Yi from your factory to our factory. What do you think?" Li Guohua finally got down to business.

"Nan Yi? He is a celebrity in our factory. He has eaten delicious food and drank spicy drinks. When the years were good, he would go to a restaurant once a month. Why do you want to transfer him?" Liang Ladi asked curiously.

"I heard that he is the successor of the "Imperial Chef". I plan to let him work as a chef in a textile factory!"

I only dared to say this to Liang Ladi. If other people in the machine repair shop knew about this, they would definitely chase me with dung shovels.

"Why don't you think of transferring me as well, and only think of transferring others?" Liang Ladi asked.

"You are an advanced worker and a level 5 welder. It would be a waste of your talent if you went to our factory," Li Guohua said guiltily.

As for the fact that welders were useless in a textile factory, he didn't dare to say that.

"Hmph, you're right!"

After settling the issue with Liang Ladi, the two went to the cafeteria to find Nan Yi.

Nan Yi had always been unwelcome in the factory because of the issue of being the descendant of the imperial chef. When he saw Li Guohua inviting him so sincerely, he agreed without saying a word.

The situation with the factory director Liu Feng was even simpler. He didn't say anything and just exchanged 200 kilograms of potatoes for the procedures.
