Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

Pooh!

Wang Defa, do I need you to teach me?

"Handing over work? What the hell! No one knows the steel mill cafeteria better than me!"

He Yuzhu shook his head in disdain.

At that time, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had only more than 5000 workers and more than 150 cooks.

Don’t make it too easy to manage!

"There's not much to do in the canteen, just purchasing, cooking, and calculating losses..."

He Yuzhu is not bragging!

After all, he had been the director of a steel mill canteen in his previous life in 1976.

Moreover, after several expansions, the canteen's staff size has reached more than 10,000 people, and the number of cooks is nearly 500.

……

There are currently three canteens in the factory. The one he works in is the largest, with more than 90 cooks.

The other two canteens are slightly smaller, with an average of 30 cooks in each canteen.

Canteen No. 1 and Canteen No. 2 are responsible for lunch and dinner for most workers, and mainly prepare a variety of big pot dishes and meals for leaders' receptions.

Because the factory's hot rolling, blast furnace, converter and other workshops have furnaces that cannot be stopped 24 hours a day, workers need to work in three shifts.

Therefore, three canteens were arranged to provide breakfast and dinner for a small number of workers, usually steamed buns or boiled noodles.

In addition, he is also responsible for steaming staple foods such as rice and steamed buns.

It is tiring to work in the canteen from morning till night, but there is an extra subsidy of 2 yuan per month, so some people are still willing to do it.

From then on, the jobs of more than 5000 people in the steel rolling mill were all in He Yuzhu's hands!

……

"Dangdangdang~" A few gentle knocks on the door interrupted He Yuzhu's thoughts.

"Come in!"

I saw Chef Ma from the second canteen walk in with a box of tea and a pack of cigarettes, grinning.

"Master He... No, I have to call you Director He now. I'm here to apologize to you!"

"Apology from me?"

"Yes!" Master Ma stuffed the cigarettes and tea leaves under He Yuzhu's desk and smiled apologetically:

"Director He, I'm so sorry. I thought Fatty came to become your disciple this morning with your permission!"

"I never expected that he would dare to betray his master!?"

"Don't worry, I have already told Fatty clearly that I will not accept him as my disciple!"

He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, Master Ma is not to blame for this matter. It must be that the fat man fooled him with his sweet words.

Master Ma is a nice person and I respect him a lot.

I remember that in my previous life I was sent down to the workshop and then returned to the kitchen, where I happened to meet Master Ma cooking.

When he saw me coming back, he gave up the stove without saying a word.

He also explicitly rejected Xu Damao's unreasonable demands!

Young man, you have broadened your horizons!

"Master Ma, I don't blame you. If anyone should be blamed, blame Fatty. Let him go to the third canteen to steam buns from now on!"

"to make!"

Although the third canteen receives an additional subsidy of 2 yuan per month.

But apart from steaming buns, rice and noodles every day, don’t even think about learning cooking!

"By the way, Master Ma, didn't you always want to be transferred to the canteen to learn cooking from me?"

"Starting tomorrow, you will come to the cafeteria. Whenever I cook, you will follow me and learn!"

"Ah?" Master Ma was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and he simply knelt down.

"Master He... Master, are you willing to accept me as your disciple?"

He didn't expect that it would be a blessing in disguise and he could learn cooking from Master He?

He Yuzhu hurriedly helped him up.

"Master Ma, we are about the same age, so let's not become your apprentice. Let's just exchange culinary skills."

"The factory cafeteria will depend on you from now on!"

The main reason is that he is old and has poor talent... cough cough ~

"Okay! Master He, I will definitely learn from you~"

Although I cannot become He Yuzhu's apprentice, it is a great blessing to be able to learn cooking from him!

Master Ma was as happy as a 300-month-old baby!

……

He Yuzhu said that the factory canteen would rely on Master Ma in the future, and he was not just being polite.

He plans to make the next step within a year or even half a year.

It is necessary to train a group of chefs who can support the business as soon as possible.

He took out the employee registration form and walked to the second and third canteens. Combining his memories from his previous life, he transferred some chefs with good talents and good character to the first canteen.

All the cooks who were disobedient and slacking off in the first canteen were transferred to the second or third canteen.

Although there were several chefs in the cafeteria who were not convinced.

But the arm is powerless against the thigh, so all you can do is complain and accept your fate.

Next, He Yuzhu will undergo “special training”!

He planned to explain in detail to all the chefs in the canteen every time he cooked a big pot of food, from cutting vegetables, to side dishes, to stir-frying, controlling the heat, etc.

As for teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death?

nonexistent!

He Yuzhu is only worried that these people don’t learn fast enough!

Especially his four disciples!

He is going to undergo "devilish training" and teach cooking skills without reservation!

He Yuzhu made up his mind and started to explain while making dinner in the cafeteria in the afternoon.

This gave everyone an idea at the same time.

"Master He should have been the canteen director a long time ago!"

When Wang Defa was the canteen director, all he did was curry favor with his superiors and scold his subordinates.

It's of no benefit to anyone in the cafeteria!

Compared to this, he is simply a waste!

From now on, the whole cafeteria may not be a united front, but at least no one dares to confront He Yuzhu openly!

……

Seeing that the big pot of food was about to be served, He Yuzhu did not stay for dinner.

Instead, he told everyone not to make any mistakes and went to the Propaganda Department to find Yu Haitang.

"Haitang, come on, come home with me~"

Yu Haitang!!!

go home! ?

"Is Brother Zhuzi going to confess his love to me? Should I agree or not?"

Her heart was pounding, her face instantly flushed, she lowered her head and said shyly:

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhuzi, I'll get ready~"

He Yuzhu...

"Haitang, I mean, I'm going back to your house. What are you going to prepare?"

"Ah? Go back to my home? No, that's not a good idea." Yu Haitang subconsciously covered her face, too embarrassed to look at He Yuzhu.

Go back to my home, is it possible...

Do you want to meet my parents?

Is it too fast?

I haven't thought about it yet, how can I tell my family~

He Yuzhu???

How is Yu Haitang today?

Why are you so nervous?

"Haitang, your sister has arranged her work. I want to go to your house to visit your sister. What's wrong with that?"

"Ah? Oh! Looking for my sister? Haha~ Nothing wrong! Let's go~"

Yu Haitang pouted in grievance and muttered softly,

"Humph! Why didn't you tell my sister earlier? You almost caused her to misunderstand... Wait!"

"Brother Zhuzi, you just said that my sister has arranged a job!?"

"What kind of job is it?"

"Good job, keep it secret for now~" He Yuzhu didn't tell her.

It’s better to talk to Yu Li about this kind of thing in person!

She might get excited...

Even if you don't want to pledge yourself to him, you should at least throw yourself into his arms and let me take advantage of him a little, right?

Bah! What a waste!

"Tsk~Brother Zhuzi, what good job can you get as a cafeteria cook? You're not going to do odd jobs in the cafeteria kitchen, are you?"

Yu Haitang obviously didn't believe that he could be that capable!

But doing odd jobs is okay, at least I have a job to do first.

I'll think of a better one when I get back!
