Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

"Well... let's do as Lao Mo did." Director Wang said uncertainly. "Okay, Director, I'll go back and figure out how they did it!" Sha Zhu replied.

"Wait a moment, Lao Mo's shop doesn't accept RMB at the moment, only foreign currencies. I have to ask the secretary for instructions and find a way to get you some foreign currency. Please wait patiently."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but feel pity for himself: Everyone knows that the most scarce thing right now is foreign currency. If he can't serve these foreigners well this time, then his job as director will probably be over.

Just continue to be the deputy director quietly.

After a while, Director Wang came back with 50 foreign currencies and a letter of introduction in his hand. He said with a smile on his face, "Haha, I finally got it done! Here, this is the letter of introduction, please keep it safe. I just found out that the place doesn't welcome Chinese people at all. They only do business with foreigners and make foreign exchange."

"Okay, Director, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

Sha Zhu promised solemnly. Director Wang nodded with satisfaction, patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and turned away. Sha Zhu was a little excited at this moment. After all, he had never been to a restaurant opened by foreigners. He could go and see those blond and blue-eyed foreigners and broaden his horizons.

Nowadays, at noon, there are usually only one or two tables of customers in the restaurant that need to be served, and Sha Zhu can handle it all by himself.

As the logistics manager, Li Huaide would host a banquet for guests almost every day. Because of his busy schedule, the dishes served to him were all made from pre-cooked soup, which could make every guest at the banquet satisfied and rosy.

This made Li Huaide feel very honored. After all, the guests enjoyed their meal and were naturally grateful to him. With the addition of wine to liven up the atmosphere, everyone was in a good mood and naturally worked more efficiently.

Li Huaide and Deputy Factory Director Zhang Tiesheng would occasionally praise He Yuzhu's superb cooking skills to others. At first, the leaders thought they were talking nonsense.

However, after further questioning, it was discovered that the dishes prepared by Sha Zhu for He Huaide were different from those served to others. So, the leaders kept this in mind.

When Director Wang applied for foreign currency this time, the secretary tried every means to help him, probably because of Sha Zhu's craftsmanship.

This time I also want to see how good He Yuzhu's cooking skills are. After all, He Yuzhu is young, and he will make some progress after learning from Lao Mo. If He Yuzhu can make the taste of Lao Mo, then I will be more confident to invite others.

In the afternoon, the sunlight shone through the window into the small kitchen, and Sha Zhu was carefully counting the various ingredients.

He secretly thought that if there were guests coming, there must not be a shortage of food. Thinking of this, he decided to report to the purchasing department immediately and increase the necessary reserves.

Just as Sha Zhu was concentrating on the list in his hand, a figure appeared at the door - it turned out to be squad leader Wang. Squad leader Wang walked in with a smile on his face: "Zhu Zi, I have something to talk to you about. I heard that a big brother will be coming soon, and I know that the ingredients in your small kitchen may not be enough. Do you need anything else?"

Sha Zhu looked up at Squad Leader Wang, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. He responded: "Indeed, there is a lack of food, but isn't there a purchasing department in charge of purchasing it?"

Squad leader Wang seemed to see through Sha Zhu's thoughts and quickly explained, "Yes, there is a purchasing department, but I also have some connections here and can get some good ingredients. You see, you are in charge of managing these ingredients, so I also want to get a share of this good opportunity and provide some high-quality goods for our small kitchen. Of course, don't worry, I know the rules! I won't make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly.

In fact, he had already promised to let Team Leader Wang take charge of the evening kitchen business, but he didn't expect that the other party now wanted to interfere with the supply of ingredients.

This made Sha Zhu feel that Wang Xu was a little ignorant and was getting too aggressive.

Originally, he planned to teach this tactless guy a lesson, but then he thought again, he didn't know many people in the cafeteria, and Wang Xu was one of the ones he had known for a longer time.

Maybe you should listen to what he has to say first, and then make plans.

So, after a moment of silence, Sha Zhu slowly asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what are your specific ideas?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu did not refuse immediately, Wang Xu's eyes flashed with excitement. He quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Zhuzi, I know several suppliers who can provide fresh vegetables, meat, seasonings, etc. The prices are absolutely fair and reasonable, guaranteed to be lower than the market price! And the quality is absolutely guaranteed! If our cooperation is successful, everyone can benefit from it, right?"

"Team Leader Wang, tell me, what ingredients do you want to prepare?" The person who spoke looked at the other person with a smile on his face, as if he was full of expectations for him.

The man called squad leader Wang scratched his head and replied a little embarrassedly: "You really think too highly of me. I can only get some vegetables here, and the quantity is not much."

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he added, "But I do have a tiger bone in my collection. Would you mind if I could bring it to you?"

You know, tiger bones are not rare in pharmacies nowadays, and everyone knows the price. So what he said was just an excuse, and his real purpose was to use money to get through this link.

Wang Xu knew very well that He Yuzhu didn't care about those things at all. He said this to repay the favor later. After all, his family had a large population and the daily expenses were very high.

So Wang Xu responded straightforwardly: "I don't care whether it's tiger bone or not. Anyway, I'm still young and don't need that stuff. If you really want to send some food over, how about giving me 10 yuan interest every month?"

However, squad leader Wang said firmly: "20, 20 yuan a month, I owe you a favor. As long as I am not dead, if you need my life in the future, just take it!"

Hearing this, Wang Xu waved his hands and said, "Why would I want your life? This is a new society now, and this is not the way. OK, then 20 yuan a month is fine. In addition, I will give you another cents per kilogram. When the time comes, you can just bring the goods and put them in the warehouse."

"Okay, Deputy Director He, I'll get back to work."

Sha Zhu looked at Wang Xu's figure walking away, thinking to himself. Although he didn't know what kind of predicament Wang Xu had encountered, he knew that no matter what era he was in, if he wanted to achieve something, he must have his own capable people.

In his opinion, the deal was not a loss.

After Sha Zhu carefully counted the required materials, he arranged for the purchasing department to replenish the supplies in advance according to the estimated number of participants and construction days.

Among them, small-scale demands can be handled by the purchasing department, while bulk materials need to be directly transferred to other factories.

At the same time, Jia Zhang finally got a reply from the matchmaker: the woman had nodded in agreement. Hearing this, Jia Zhang was both happy and worried.

However, she did not show any dissatisfaction on her face. The matchmaker left with the two yuan wedding money, which was very satisfying. Although the amount was small, it was enough to quickly make her famous in this place.

Jia Zhang began to clean up the room, intending to leave the spacious main room for Dongxu and his wife to live in. As the weather gradually warmed up, the originally cramped kitchen area could be partitioned off to create a space for people to use. However, the number of mosquitoes in the house seemed to have increased significantly recently, so some insect repellent needed to be sprayed to keep the environment clean.
