Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Steel mill canteen

"Dong dong dong..."

A row of helpers stood in front of the chopping board, chopping vegetables vigorously. The sound of knives hitting the chopping board was continuous.

Sha Zhu sat on a chair nearby, frowning and looking a little irritated, because he had not passed the grade assessment for a cook in the factory some time ago.

He didn't expect that with his skills and Director Li's confidence in him, he would still fail.

Bad luck happened one after another. First, the factory conducted a major inspection and he was almost caught. Later, he was caught again when he went to sell food coupons with a deaf old lady on his back. Fortunately, the old lady admitted it and cleared himself.

Now the first uncle has been promoted to the eighth grade, the second uncle has been promoted to the seventh grade, Xu Damao has been converted to a regular employee, and Yan Jiecheng has also found a job. I heard from the first uncle that Li Guohua has become a cadre, while I am still standing still, and my previous sense of superiority has disappeared.

"Silly pillar, silly pillar!"

Just when Sha Zhu was secretly angry, Xu Damao rushed in from outside with a happy face.

"Xu Damao! The kitchen is a very important place. Who let you in?"

When Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao, he became extremely angry.

"Hey, silly Zhu, let alone the kitchen, I can also go to the director's office! This time I have something good to ask you, just say whether you want to do it or not!"

Xu Damao naturally didn't fall for his tricks. He still wanted to scare men, but that was all the leftovers from men's tricks.

"Good things? What good things can you have?"

Although he hated Xu Damao, Sha Zhu was also saying something good about him, so he became curious. Could it be that this guy heard something from the leader and came to him to take credit?

"Hey, my buddy is getting married soon, so I'd like to ask you to be the chef. We'll prepare the ingredients ourselves. How about I give you three dollars?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"What? You are getting married, but you failed?" Sha Zhu suddenly stood up from his chair and asked in surprise.

I just ruined his good time last time, and it hasn't been long since then, and they are getting married.

"Shazhu, just tell me if it's possible or not!" Xu Damao asked excitedly.

He came here today not only because of his good craftsmanship, but also to show off.

"Three dollars won't do, five dollars is necessary!" Sha Zhu thought for a while and said.

Recently, the deaf old lady had no ration, and he had basically used all his extra money to help her out. Since Xu Damao had asked him to prepare the feast, he might as well ask for more.

"Sha Zhu, you usually cook a meal for two dollars. Three dollars is not enough, you want five dollars?" Xu Damao felt a little unconfident because of Sha Zhu's increase in money.

"Originally it was two dollars, but your banquet, Xu Damao, must have a lot of dishes, which requires a lot of effort. Also, my cooking skills have improved recently, so I want five dollars!"

Although Shazhu is a bastard with a rough temper, he has some brains. He knows that Xu Damao is a person who cares about his reputation, so he is sure to take advantage of him.

"Okay, you're cruel, but don't play tricks on me, otherwise I won't agree!" Seeing so many people watching in the kitchen, Xu Damao could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Don't worry about this. My master never taught me how to play tricks when I was learning this skill!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

Seeing Xu Damao running out angrily, Sha Zhu became proud again and said, "You're still playing with me. I'm going to trick you to death."

By the way, Li Guohua's new wife in the backyard has been brought back to the yard, and she should be getting married soon. When this guy invites me to a banquet, I must ask him for ten dollars, otherwise I won't be able to vent my anger.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu's mood instantly improved. He tied on an apron, picked up a large spoon, and started shouting at the two helpers to work.

"Fatty, Ma Hua, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Move!"

Fatty and Ma Hua were new to the factory and were assigned to help him. They knew that Sha Zhu had good skills and wanted to kowtow to him to learn from him.

"Okay, Master!"

The two men immediately helped Sha Zhu to get things done, some lit the fire and some moved the vegetables.

Workshop 7 of the Steel Rolling Mill

"Jia Dongxu, tell me if you can do it or not. If you can't, get out of here and let someone more capable come!" In the noisy workshop, deputy workshop director Guo Dapiezi shouted angrily in a loud voice.

"Director Guo, it's all my fault. I really didn't get enough rest last night!" Jia Dongxu explained.

It's no wonder that Guo Dapie scolded him. He messed up several tapping and threading processes that a second-level worker could do.

"You didn't get enough rest. What did you do last night? Did you do anything sneaky?" Guo Dapiezi said hatefully.

Actually, it's not his fault. There are a bunch of senior technicians waiting for parts over there. He couldn't finish it in the whole morning and he just got scolded for it.

Not far away, Yi Zhonghai saw Guo Dapiaozi cursing more and more fiercely, which attracted the attention of other people in the workshop. He also stopped what he was doing and walked over.

"Dongxu, what's going on with you?" As soon as Yi Zhonghai saw the scrapped parts next to him, he knew it was Jia Dongxu's problem.

"Master, I..."

Jia Dongxu is in a state of distress right now. Last night, at the construction site where he usually does odd jobs, he worked overtime all night in order to meet the deadline, and was paid two yuan per person.

When Jia Dongxu saw that there was so much money to be given, he thought about his family members clamoring for meat and his mother complaining every day that she was hungry, so he was immediately tempted.

I didn't care about anything else and just agreed to work overtime. I didn't get home until five in the morning. I only took a two-hour nap in the morning, so how could I sleep well?

"Xiao Wu, come here and do this workpiece. I'll ask Dongxu to return your work to you later!" When Yi Zhonghai saw his apprentice's look, he knew there was a reason.

After all, he was his apprentice. If he was embarrassed, it would be embarrassing for him as his master, so he immediately asked another apprentice to come over and help deal with it.

"Director Guo, look here, Dongxu may be feeling unwell. I'll deliver the things to you soon, and there won't be any delay!" Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked at Guo Dapiezi again, saying with a smile.

"Hmph, Master Yi, I'm giving you face today, but there won't be a next time!"

Guo Dapiezi saw Yi Zhonghai intervened, but he didn't say much. After all, the eighth-level workers still had a certain status in the factory. As the deputy director of the workshop, whether the workshop could achieve results in the future also depended on the efforts of these eighth-level workers.

After Guo Dapiezi walked away, Yi Zhonghai asked, "Dongxu, are you out working again?"

"Master, I... I can't always rely on you to subsidize me. I stayed up all night last night just to get those two dollars! But don't worry, I won't do it again next time!" Jia Dongxu looked at his master and said with shame on his face.

There is never enough food at home. In addition to buying food from outside, my master would give me a few kilograms of coarse grains every month. This makes it difficult for my master at work, and I feel very sorry about it.

"Hey, good boy. Once a teacher, always a father. If I don't help you, who will I help? But you can't do this job anymore. Our workshop is dangerous. If we are not careful and something goes wrong, it will not be worth it!" Yi Zhonghai said with satisfaction.

But seeing Jia Dongxu like this, he was also very happy. Finally, there was someone who satisfied him. He was much less troublesome than Sha Zhu, but this kid was a little stubborn and was stupid because of his mother.

"Master, I will listen to you!" Jia Dongxu nodded and said

The work of a fitter is very complicated. He has to operate the lathe for cutting, drilling, grinding, etc., and also correct, bend and rivet. All of them are related to machines. If something goes wrong, it is a big deal and people may lose limbs. It is not uncommon in steel mills.

Besides my mother, I also have a wife and two children to support at home, so I can't afford to get into any trouble.
