Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

When it came to Jia Zhangshi, no one knew whether she paid or how much she paid. They could only guess from the satisfied expressions of Li Laosan and Wang Laowu.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he went back to the house and sat there sulking. He couldn't understand why Yi Zhonghai had to stop him from doing something so obvious that he could just call the police!

Sha Zhu drank two large bowls of cold water that had been left overnight, and finally felt his head become a little clearer.

But life has to go on. After being depressed for a while, I got up and went to register.

Although we have trams now, rickshaws are still more convenient. It is not cheap to take a ride, but I have to take it in order not to be late for work.

After sitting on this thing, Shazhu's depressed mood finally improved a lot. He could sit cross-legged like a big boss and watch people coming and going, and he could feel like a superior person.

There is nothing complicated about the registration, anyone can register, but the registration fee is not cheap, and the chance of being rejected is very high. Now the admission is based on a few people from each level. That is to say, dozens of you have the level of a master chef, but for the ninth-level certificate, only the best five will be admitted. Therefore, those who don’t have any skills generally won’t come here to waste their money!

Squad leader Wang Xu saw He Yuzhu coming back, looked up at the time on the wall and saw it was only nine o'clock, so he waved to He Yuzhu!

"Why is it so late today?"

"Don't mention it. I found the coal briquettes missing this morning, so I thought I'd ask some of the uncles in the yard to help find the thief. But I didn't expect that someone else said my father owed money and came to me with an IOU. It was the person who stole my coal briquettes who gave it to me!"

Poof! Squad leader Wang Xu spat out a mouthful of water!

She looked at He Yuzhu embarrassedly and said, "Go on, go on! I didn't mean it!"

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at Lao Wang and continued, "Who said this isn't fun? Several old men in our yard are still trying to smooth things over..."

Squad leader Wang Xu said, "Why do you look so miserable? Hey! Do you want to do something good?"

Silly asked: "What good news?"

Squad leader Wang Xu said: "It's just after the Chinese New Year, some people are thinking of finding a chef to cook for them. If our chef is willing to work hard, he will make a lot of money!"

Sha Zhu asked doubtfully, "Can we still take on this kind of private work?"

Squad leader Wang Xu smiled and said, "Normally it wouldn't work if we were busy, but now we're not busy! Why don't you want to do it?"

"Hehe! How much can Squad Leader Wang earn this time?" Sha Zhu asked the question he was concerned about.

Squad leader Wang Xu said: "It depends on the size of the banquet and the reward from the host. But we have to spend at least two dollars each time we go out!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was delighted and said quickly, "I'll do it, I'll do it, this is more than what I earn here!"

Wang Xu said seriously, "Don't lose sight of the main point. You are hired because you are a chef in the factory. If you work on your own, do you think anyone would hire you?"

"Yes, yes, old man, I just said it casually!" Sha Zhu said indifferently.

Wang Xu looked at He Yuzhu and said seriously, "You can't just say it casually! You can't say bad things about the factory anywhere! If the leaders hear it, do you still want to move up?"

Sha Zhu nodded quickly.

Sha Zhu thought of the secret recipe again: "Captain Wang, I have to pay with silver dollars. My price has to be the same as the market price! This cannot be less!"

Squad leader Wang Xu smiled and said, "Oh, you got it so soon? Okay, I'll give you the highest price. Silver dollars are very valuable now! How about I give you 40 kilograms of rice for one dollar?"

Sha Zhu pondered secretly, a pound of rice costs 1.73 cents, which can be converted into 6.92 silver dollars. He Daqing must have made a lot of money from this in the past!

"Just seven dollars a piece, this number is worth it for you!" said Sha Zhu.

Squad leader Wang Xu said, "What? Why don't you give me some money for my errands? You little brat. Fine, seven dollars is seven dollars, just give me thirty-six dollars!"

Sha Zhu curled his lips: "Now you've taken advantage of me again!" "Okay, here you go! It's really hard to take advantage of you!"

Squad leader Wang Xu slapped Sha Zhu on the head and said, "Don't always think about taking advantage. Suffering a loss is a blessing!"

Looking at the aggrieved He Yuzhu, Squad Leader Wang took a puff of cigarette and said, "Today's job was found by a worker from our factory. He should be from a well-off family. You won't be short of money when the time comes!"

Silly Zhu nodded.

Squad leader Wang Xu stood up and said, "You can go over there this afternoon, meet some people, and start cooking now!"

Sha Zhu started swinging the shovel...

After finishing his work at noon, Sha Zhu slowly strolled towards the office building. When he arrived at the office building, he found out about the Human Resources Department and asked who Comrade Xie Xiaoyun was.

A beautiful young girl stood up and asked, "Who are you looking for, comrade?"

Sha Zhu said, "Hello, comrade. I work in the kitchen of our factory. My name is He Yuzhu. Squad Leader Wang said that your family has some problems and you want to find a cook. Although I am new here, I worked in Zhimei Building before, so I can do the work you do!"

Xie Xiaoyun looked like a silly man in his twenties, with obvious traces of smoke and fire on his face. He looked a bit like a chef.

Xie Xiaoyun said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, my family needs a chef to cook a meal, but I don't know how capable you are. Can you try the food?"

Sha Zhu said quickly: "Okay, no problem. If the food is not good, you still want me. You are a fool! Just say what you want to say after trying the food!"

Xie Xiaoyun was amused by He Yuzhu's words. She didn't expect He Yuzhu to be so honest!

Xie Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Okay, Master He! Come to my house and try the food. My house is in Nanluoguxiang..."

Sha Zhu also smiled and said, "Then I'll go first! Just ask someone to get back to me tomorrow!"

Xie Xiaoyun said: "Okay, then take care, Master He!"

Sha Zhu and the other man did this to avoid hurting each other in the future, and to avoid losing face if it failed.

Here, Sha Zhu walked to Xie Xiaoyun's house. When Xie Xiaoyun's parents learned the purpose of He Yuzhu's visit, Xie's father let Sha Zhu into the house to chat, while Xie's mother hurried out to buy groceries.

Sha Zhu went into the house and chatted with Xie's father about family matters. While waiting for Xie's mother to buy the vegetables, Sha Zhu began to get busy. He washed, cut and prepared the ingredients one by one. His technique was neat and tidy, and every move revealed his years of accumulated cooking skills. As the oil in the pot heated up, the ingredients flew around in the pot, and the aroma filled the air.

After waiting for the dish to be served, Sha Zhu tasted it with a chopstick first and nodded with satisfaction!

Then he looked at Xie Xiaoyun's parents and said, "My two elders, I have prepared the dish! I will go back first!"

Sha Zhu declined the two's invitation to stay and walked home...
