Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Sha Zhu came, and brought with him a bottle of Xifeng and a bowl of peanuts.

Seeing the good wine in Sha Zhu's hand, Zeng Wangcai knew that Sha Zhu would come to the temple for no reason. Sha Zhu's family has three traditional hobbies...

Widow, white wine, and peanuts!

It is a tradition passed down from He Daqing that if Sha Zhu takes out two at once, either something is wrong or something fishy is going on.

"Shazhu, you're a rare visitor. Come and sit down. We've just started." Since he was already here, Zeng Youqian could only greet him.

"I'm not a rare guest, I'm just a wanderer in the alley. As long as someone's house is convenient, I like to go there. You are a rare guest who doesn't visit other people's homes easily." Sha Zhu is still self-aware.

After sitting down, Sha Zhu opened the glass of wine.

"No, no, no. This wine is hard to come by. If you have anything to say, tell me. We are all neighbors." Zeng Youqian said hurriedly.

Zeng Wangcai didn't drink, so he took the initiative to say, "You couldn't have come here just for a bite of food. You're a cook, and the last thing you need is food. But you didn't come earlier or later, but today. It must be for the fish, right?"

"The one who understands me is Wangcai!" Shazhu dropped his bag and stood up to fill Zeng Youqian's glass of wine without caring whether the other person wanted to drink or not.

Zeng Wangcai roughly guessed what was going on with Sha Zhu, and this was what he hoped would happen, so as the host, he stood up and took the bottle of wine from Sha Zhu, poured a glass for Sha Zhu first, and then poured glasses for Xiaohu and Xiaobao who were also drinking.

It’s a waste if you don’t drink it. Everyone takes what they need.

"As a cook, I must have food, but the prerequisite is that there must be food in the canteen." Sha Zhu took a sip of wine and started.

It was indeed because of this matter.

Zeng Wangcai went on to say, "As long as the canteen has it, the factory director will take half and I will take half, right?"

"Wangcai, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by half?" Shazhu deliberately put on a stern face, but then couldn't hold back his laughter. "We are not outsiders. This is the fact, but we can't say that. In our profession as chefs, the rule is to take some leftovers."

Others may not know what the so-called leftovers are, but Zeng Wangcai is definitely clear about it. Before the dishes are served, they are scooped out and put into the lunch box. These are leftovers.

Zeng Wangcai did not expose Sha Zhu, there was no need to do so.

"Wangcai, your family... Oh, these are bicycle tickets, two of them, this is a good thing." Sha Zhu wanted to talk about business, but suddenly saw the tickets that Zeng Wangcai had left on the eight-immortal table. "There are only two people in our courtyard who have bicycles. Good boy, you are going to make a fortune."

It is not time to start painting the original work yet. In the whole yard, only Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao have bicycles. Yi Zhonghai is in a position to buy one, but for some reason, the old man did not buy it.

"One is a reward from the purchasing station, and the other is a reward from the director of the logistics department of Peking University." Zeng Wangcai gave Fatty Zheng a title. He didn't know what Fatty Zheng's position was, so the higher the better.

If you want to buy a bicycle, or buy several at a time, the source of money has been solved, which is tickets.

Believe it or not, if I bought so many cars without telling anyone, someone would definitely complain. I'm not afraid of that, but it's really annoying.

"Your business has spread to Peking University?"

"What do you mean by business? We are providing support. They came to us asking for it on their own initiative."

"Yes, yes, yes, we support you. We are not allowed to do business now." Sha Zhu nodded in agreement and said, "Wangcai, you catch several hundred kilograms of fish this week. It is not appropriate to give all of them to the purchasing station. You are an employee of the steel mill now, so can you also take care of the stomachs of your fellow workers?"

"There are more than 10,000 people in our factory. What effect can one or two hundred kilograms of fish have?" Zeng Wangcai asked.

He wanted to find out the inside story first; he didn't know much about the interior of the steel mill canteen.

If you want Lin Huyang to work as a buyer for the steel mill, first of all, your products must be valued by others. The canteen of the steel mill is not like a purchasing station.

Zeng Wangcai went to the cafeteria to eat during work, and it was such a hard-to-describe experience.

This large factory with more than 10,000 employees is packed with people at mealtime. They all regard eating in the cafeteria as a benefit, and many people save the factory's meals and take them home for their children.

However, the canteen has been poorly funded recently, and many people have complaints. They curse at mealtime, which may be one of the reasons why Sha Zhu came here today.

There were so many people opening their mouths to eat, and 200 kilograms of fish were thrown in, but not even a bone was given to each person.

"Don't worry about it. This is our cook's business." Sha Zhu said with a smile. It seems that he has already developed a mature set of tricks to steal food.

"That's true, but you've got the wrong person. You should be looking for the buyer for your cafeteria."

"Don't mention that grandson. He is the canteen director's man. He is so fat that he eats a lot of food but does nothing for the canteen. He has no way to deal with the unplanned indicators."

This was the situation that Zeng Wangcai wanted to know, so he immediately asked some questions about the purchasing agent in the steel mill canteen.

The canteen purchaser of the steel rolling mill is called Hu Guangyong. He is responsible for purchasing unplanned materials. It used to be a lucrative position, but now it is much worse. Sha Zhu said that this person only knows how to take things to his own home and has no idea how to do purchasing, especially since he is timid and greedy. After being prohibited from going to the countryside to purchase, he has become even more useless.

After learning this, Zeng Wangcai said, "I have a buddy whose father works at a food station. He has a lot of connections and is in the same group with us. He can't help us now, so in the future, we will give everything we get to him. In addition to the fish we catch and the wild boars we kill, he can also get a lot of local specialties."

"Are you so capable? It's not easy to get something nowadays, so we should take care of our fellow workers in the factory." Sha Zhu said excitedly.

Zeng Wangcai glanced at his father and said, "Dad, you make the decision on this matter. You are the head of the family."

"Ask me?" Zeng Youqian thought to himself. This kid is getting more and more cunning. He clearly wants to sell it to the steel mill, but now he has the upper hand. "Silly Zhu, you really shouldn't come to our house for this matter. As the old saying goes, it's not a good deal if you rush to get it. The fish that Wangcai caught are being snatched up everywhere, from the purchasing station, Peking University, and our neighbors. Believe it or not, someone will come to our house later.

"For your factory's purchasing work, you should first go to your canteen. It would be best if your canteen director nods and asks him to send a buyer to find Wangcai. This way, our Wangcai will be able to behave himself and not offend anyone, right?"

My dad is smart. I didn’t expect that he is usually quiet, but now he talks so much.

Zeng Wangcai smiled and nodded: "My dad is right!"

"Find our canteen director? That's a bit difficult. His purchasing agent is the canteen director's man. They are like brothers..." At this point, Sha Zhu suddenly understood and said with a wry smile, "Uncle Qian, Wangcai, I didn't think it through. This matter should really start from the factory. Leave it to me and I'll do it."

That’s right, this is the right way. If you want to eat, you should be humble enough to take the initiative. What’s the point of me delivering it to your door?

Sha Zhu's current attitude is exactly what Zeng Wangcai wants. The current purchasing job may not be as lucrative as before, but it is still a position that everyone is dreaming of. If you push the person away, won't people hate you?

It would be much better if there was Shazhu to initiate it.

"No, will your cafeteria director listen to you?" Zeng Wangcai asked.

Sha Zhu's foul mouth offends people in a minute. The person who can't tolerate him the most in the cafeteria is their cafeteria director. If Sha Zhu wasn't a good cook, their cafeteria director would have sent him to the workshop long ago.

It is impossible to fire someone. To fire a worker these days is not as easy as to fire an employee in later generations. Mistakes are mainly punished by warnings.

Therefore, Zeng Wangcai had some doubts about what Sha Zhu said.

"Hey, I'll go find him first. If he doesn't agree, there are plenty of people who can take care of him."

"Who?"

"Li Huaide, our deputy factory director, in charge of logistics, the canteen director will do whatever Li Huaide says."

"Okay you..."

Zeng Wangcai looked at Sha Zhu with admiration. He didn't expect that he could come up with this trick.

Just as he was talking about this, there was a noise at the door, and it was quite a noise. Qin Huairu came from next door to Sha Zhu.
