Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

Around eleven o'clock, lunch time finally arrived. Passionate music began to come out from the factory's loudspeakers. Then a large crowd of people poured into the cafeteria and lined up consciously. Everyone held their lunch boxes in their hands and either knocked or hit them, seeming to be impatient in front of the "delicious food".

Yu Haitang was one of them, but as a woman, she couldn't get involved with a bunch of men, and she had to maintain her ladylike demeanor. Her team was lined up at He Yuzhu's window. Yes, He Yuzhu was the one who got the food himself today, because he wanted to experience the feeling of "shaking hands".

Two steamed buns and a dish, this is Yu Haitang’s recipe.

"Brother Zhu, please give me more!" Yu Haitang said while leaning on the window.

"Oh, you eat so much, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" The married Yu Haitang already has the charm of a wife. Coupled with her carefree personality, she is especially "uninhibited" like a postmodern woman. Naturally, He Yuzhu would take a second look at her.

Looking at the spoonful of stew, Yu Haitang was in a good mood. She said, "Hey, let's chat someday when we have time!"

Are women nowadays so good at flirting?

He Yuzhu felt that a romantic encounter was coming, and he said with a wicked smile: "Okay!"

"But we have already agreed on it!" Yu Haitang sounded angry and resentful, and everyone around her almost fell for her.

"Okay, I won't forget it! Next one~"

After driving Yu Haitang away, He Yuzhu was no longer in the mood to cook. He thought that it was enough to just enjoy himself. If he really had to work from beginning to end, he would be so exhausted. This did not fit in with Shazhu's personality. So he had to be lazy when he needed to.

I didn't see Qin Huairu today. I asked around and found out that the factory had to meet the deadline and she was working the night shift. He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this woman would "perform" on the spot and he wouldn't be able to explain it.

As soon as the previous work was done, Director Li gave He Yuzhu a task, asking him to prepare a table of delicious dishes, saying that he would entertain the leaders. This was an important matter and could not be delayed, so He Yuzhu quickly started cooking, preparing six dishes, four small dishes, and a soup, a total of ten dishes and one soup. Old Li was really extravagant.

Of course, according to convention, He Yuzhu also had to cut in a little bit, but don't underestimate this "little bit", in the eyes of the leaders, it might only be enough to fill the gap between their teeth, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a feast. He Yuzhu didn't really care about this, because he didn't want to break this convention, whether to eat it or who to give it to was another matter.

He Yuzhu also worked very hard. Although the national economy is much better now and meat is not in short supply, leaders still have to be particular about their meals. They cannot eat only meat, but must have a combination of meat and vegetables. Soon, ten dishes and a soup were ready. They looked delicious and fragrant. The kitchen was filled with fragrance. Several deputy chefs were all staring at him and flattered He Yuzhu.

Today's dishes were indeed prepared with extra care, but he didn't feel proud. Why? He was asking for help. He was no longer the silly Zhu he used to be. He had changed. How boring would it be to just muddle along?

So he needs to make progress, not only in his thinking but also in his work. The position of canteen director is still vacant. He Yuzhu knows that time is running out. He wants to get the position of canteen director before Director Li falls, otherwise he will have no chance in the future.

The dishes were taken away and quickly served on the table. The smell aroused the appetite of the leaders. Those present were all experts in food and immediately began to comment on the dishes.

"This minced meat and eggplant is really delicious, spicy and not greasy at all!"

"That's nothing. Try this twice-cooked pork. It's bright red, salty, slightly spicy, and slightly sweet. The chef is an expert!"

"If you ask me, it has to be this spicy chicken, spicy and refreshing, salty and fresh, mellow and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside~"

Everyone gave a thumbs up to Director Li, saying that the chef's level had caught up with that of a state banquet chef. Director Li felt very proud after hearing this. At this moment, He Yuzhu's position in his heart became even deeper.

As the saying goes, if you want to win a person's heart, you must first win his stomach. Director Li has been working in the field of medical treatment for so many years and knows the truth well. To put it bluntly, if you eat and drink well and control yourself well, things will be easy.

“Haha, eat some vegetables~” Director Li said with a modest smile.

……

There was another staff meal in the afternoon, and He Yuzhu was too lazy to go home. Besides, he had work to do in the evening, so he walked around the factory to get familiar with the situation. At around five o'clock, the staff meal was ready, and it was almost six o'clock when everything was done. He Yuzhu arranged the finishing work and took Ma Hua away.

"Master, why did you think of playing with the birds?"

The seasonal bird is also called the golden cicada. It is called differently in different places. Some places call it "cicada monkey", some call it "junction monkey", and some places call it "beef cattle", "junction turtle", "fairy" or "cicada turtle". In fact, it is a kind of insect. It hides underground before breaking out of the shell. After breaking out of the shell, it becomes the common cicada. It is the one that keeps chirping on the trees in summer.

This is a good thing. Although it looks ugly, it has extremely high nutritional value. It contains protein, calcium, iron, zinc, as well as various vitamins and trace elements, which are definitely good for the body.

He Yuzhu thought that Director Li was used to eating big fish and meat, and he must have never eaten such strange things, so today he would let him broaden his horizons.

"You want to eat? Do you have a flashlight?" He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain. If he said he wanted to take the back door, his image as a master would be completely ruined.

"Take it with you!"

Ma Hua took out a flashlight from his pocket. He got it from the cafeteria and usually used it at night. However, it was idle most of the time because there was no night shift before. It was only useful during holidays.

The place the two were going to was called Dongbazi River, where there was a forest in the northeast corner of Zuojiazhuang.

Listening to the cicadas chirping on the road, He Yuzhu not only recalled the time when he touched cicadas in his hometown when he was a child, but now he finds it funny. He remembers that he always wrote in his diary that the cicadas are chirping, and summer is here.

He used this opening line until he was in middle school. Later, his teacher found out and asked him if he could change it. I was tired of seeing this sentence all the time.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, you are tired of seeing it, but the cicadas are not tired of it, what can I do?

However, he still had to listen to the teacher, as he was a model student, so the next year he changed the beginning of the poem to, "Summer is here, cicadas are chirping." The teacher almost vomited blood after reading it.

This incident was once a laughing stock and is still unforgettable today. It's a pity that we can never go back to the past.

As soon as it got dark, the two of them had already harvested a lot, estimating that they could have harvested more than a pound, enough for a dish. After a while, they met some children from the village. The children were doing this to sell for money. They heard that cicada skins could be used as medicine, and many pharmacies in the city would buy them. The price of one yuan per pound was indeed very tempting, so they enjoyed it.

When He Yuzhu saw that it was getting late, he bought a few kilograms of cicada skins from the children at the price of cicada skins. After that, they went home jumping and skipping. In their eyes, this trip was a fortune.

After returning to the city, they told Ma Hua about the house repair and then went their separate ways. But He Yuzhu did not go home, but found a restaurant, borrowed their kitchen to process the cicadas, and then went to Director Li's residence.

This is the staff building of the steel mill. Director Li has lived here for a long time. As for why he doesn't go home, I'm afraid only he knows. I knocked on the door and Director Li happened to be at home. He was surprised to see He Yuzhu.

"Silly Zhu, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu patted the paper bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Director Li, I got you something good!"

Director Li thought he was here to give a gift, so he looked around and found no one there. However, he was still very nervous, after all, a thief is always guilty.

"You are just fooling around. It will have a very bad impact if someone sees it!" Director Li said alertly.

Although it was an accusation, Director Li would not refuse a gift that was delivered to his doorstep. After pulling He Yuzhu into the house, Director Li suddenly changed his expression and said, "Silly Zhu, when did you learn to do this?"

In fact, Director Li is most worried that He Yuzhu will also participate in Zhengzhi, because his relationships are too complicated and he knows many leaders. If he gets too close, problems are inevitable.

Seeing Director Li's unhappy expression, He Yuzhu quickly smiled and said, "Director, you misunderstood. This is the good thing I'm talking about!"

He Yuzhu opened the oil paper package, and immediately a strong fragrance hit his nose. Director Li swallowed his saliva, but when he saw what was inside, he was dumbfounded again.

"what is this?"
