Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Uncle He, Uncle He." Liu Guangqi knocked on He Daqing's door, but there was no movement from inside after knocking for a long time, so he quickly ran to Sha Zhu's house in the central courtyard.

When I arrived at the middle courtyard, I saw Zhao Shanhe and Xu Damao there. They were drinking and I didn't bother to greet them. "Quick, Uncle He, get the tricycle. My father has fainted."

No wonder the old saying goes that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Several people quickly ran out and pushed the tricycle at the door. The people in the middle courtyard were also alarmed and basically ran out.

Zhao Shanhe, Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Bang Geng, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Guangqi worked together to lift Liu Haizhong into the car. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Guangqi supported Liu Haizhong while they pushed the car and rushed him to the hospital.

After running for a while, Zhao Shanhe sobered up, and Liu Haizhong was sent directly to the operating room. Yi Zhonghai asked, "Guangqi, what happened? Why did your father suddenly faint?"

Liu Guangqi hesitated and couldn't say anything, but finally said, "My father collapsed when he heard that I had lost my job."

Zhao Shanhe thought it was no wonder. Usually, pinching the philtrum would wake him up, but this time it was useless. Liu Haizhong didn't know what he cared about the most, but he dared to say such a thing. He was really an expert at cheating his father.

When Liu Guangqi got married and ran away, he tricked Liu Haizhong, but Liu Haizhong was young at that time, so he took several days to recover. This time, the problem is probably serious. First, Liu Haizhong is old, and second, Liu Haizhong is fat. Fat people usually have high blood pressure, and the complications of a sudden anger attack are serious, either myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral congestion, or stroke.

I hope Liu Haizhong is safe and sound. We finally found such an excellent tool man. The atmosphere in the factory has changed. Besides, there is no deep hatred. Just give him some trouble. Don't let anything serious happen. Illness is like a mountain falling on you.

Unfortunately, Liu Haizhong suffered a stroke. The doctor said, "The patient was fat and had high blood pressure. He was overworked for a long time, and the stroke was caused by anger."

Xu Damao told him the news the next day. He sent Liu Haizhong home and went home because he had children to take care of at home. Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that his words would hit the mark. How could Liu Haizhong be so unlucky? He was in high spirits and had to give a report to the whole factory tomorrow afternoon.

"Shanhe, what a jinx Liu Guangqi is. He either doesn't come back for a few years or he sends Liu Haizhong to the hospital when he comes back. He's really like a jinx."

"Alright, they are father and son after all, why should we care so much? Liu Guangqi is not leaving, so he can just take care of Liu Haizhong."

"I think it's bad enough. I think this guy is going to run away again. He ran away when he got married. Now that Liu Haizhong is like this, he can still stay and take care of Liu Haizhong."

"I think it's possible. Didn't he say he lost his job? Think about it, he relies on his father-in-law. His return to Sijiu City means his father-in-law is no longer reliable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back. Where could he run to? Liu Haizhong has been an eighth-level worker in recent years, so his family must be well-off. Do you think Liu Guangqi doesn't have this idea?"

"Shanhe. No wonder you can be a leader. I admire you. You can analyze so much with just one sentence."

"Okay, stop flattering me. Go do your thing. I have to go find Lao Li. Liu Haizhong is in the hospital. Tomorrow's factory meeting has to be cancelled or someone else has to take over. What's going on?"

"Shanhe, what do you think we should do? What's going on?"

"No, Lao Li, you are the factory director. I am just telling you something, but you have to make the decision."

"Find someone to take over? Who to take over? There's not much time left. It's hard for them to even write a manuscript. I think we should just cancel it. If it doesn't work out, you can take over. As the youngest chief engineer, you have the qualifications."

"Let's cancel it. I don't have the ability to do that."

"You are just too lazy to write the manuscript, so cancel it. I will let the publicity department notify you later."

"By the way, Lao Li has one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Just tell me if you want to eat something good?"

"of course."

"Then I'll recommend you someone who can cook dishes that are both delicious and tasty."

"Who is it? How about being better than a fool?"

"He Daqing, what do you think of being better than Sha Zhu?"

"He Daqing, when Director Lou was still the chief, the chef seemed to be He Daqing, Director Lou's personal chef. When I came, he had already left. It was Old Yang who said that He Daqing's cooking skills were amazing.

No, Shanhe, I remember He Daqing offended you some time ago, and you asked District Chief Li to deal with him, so why are you recommending him again?"

"I've never tasted He Daqing's cooking before. Now that he has surrendered, we can't do anything. We can't satisfy our appetite. Let him cook for us. What do you think?"

"No, if He Daqing is doing the cooking for him, what will happen to Old Wang? Is He Daqing sixty years old? Don't retire right after you come here."

"I think he's sixty now, so let's hire him back. He promised me that he would train me as an apprentice, which can be considered as a benefit to the factory."

"I promised you to train apprentices, but what do you need so many chefs for? You want to open a restaurant? But the policy does not allow it."

"It's not me who wants to open a restaurant, it's the two of us who should open a restaurant." Zhao Shanhe had thought about it long ago. Li Huaide's connections were not just talk. It would be beneficial to get Old Li to do it. Besides, Old Li was nice to him and he could give him some benefits. Otherwise, it would be difficult for He Daqing to arrange it. Besides, the restaurant did not account for a large proportion of his business, it was purely for winning people over.

"Shanhe, stop making trouble. We don't know when this movement will end. Everyone is worried about themselves. We are the only industry that no one wants to touch. Why open a restaurant? Wouldn't that give people something to talk about?"

"Old Li, I don't believe this movement can continue forever. If the economy doesn't develop, the policies will change sooner or later. Besides, I didn't say to start now. It takes time for a chef to learn the craft. Let's prepare for a rainy day. When the conditions are met, it will be a piece of cake.

It's easier for Lao Wang. A chef is all about cooking skills. Believe it or not, after seeing He Daqing's cooking skills, Lao Wang is eager to learn from He Daqing."

"Okay, Shanhe, you've always been reliable. I'll listen to you this time. It's just a cook. If he's a good cook, others won't say anything. They'll enjoy the benefits too. If the policy really changes like you said, don't forget me, Old Li."

"No problem, Lao Li, we are friends. You take care of me so much, and I can still coax you."

"Then let He Daqing come next Monday and let me see his cooking skills."

"Old Li, do you think we can organize a training class for the chef? When the chef cooks well, the workers will be more motivated after eating."

"Shanhe, you must have planned it out long ago, so it will be convenient for you to choose a disciple."

"No, I just remembered it when I mentioned the workers. I was still thinking about how to find an apprentice for He Daqing. Wouldn't it be easier if I set up a training class?"

"I fully support you. Since you are so dedicated, I believe our restaurant will be great in the future."
