Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

It's easy to deal with for one factory, but if all factories are like this, he would be worried.

"Director Yang, what is the specific time you set? I'm afraid it's too late to prepare today. It will have to be postponed until tomorrow at the very least. After all, we need to purchase six or seven thousand kilograms of pork, and the slaughtering process will take a considerable amount of time!" He Yuzhu said after thinking for a while.

This is also done to avoid being too busy today.

"How about tomorrow?" asked Director Yang.

"There should be no problem tomorrow. There are a lot of people during the day and it's quieter at night. We can arrange it at night." He Yuzhu suggested.

After that, He Yuzhu considered whether he should wear a disguise mask to create a personality for the transaction. For the sake of caution, "it's better to be cautious". Although he himself was not worried about being implicated, this was always the best way to hide. However, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to complete the two deals first, and then wear the mask, so that he would no longer need to rely on He Yuzhu's identity to make money.

"Then let's set it for tomorrow night. That's great, Xiao He. Now I don't have to worry too much! Those people are always impatient and call me every day to urge me. It's really hard for me to deal with them. To be honest, I admire your ability. It's so cold that you can find so much high-quality pork, especially at this year-end time. It's really rare!" Director Yang praised with a smile.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I admire him too. On such a cold day, he still took the trouble to find delicious food for me. Maybe you don't know my situation. Now my house is full of delicious food every day. The neighbors even think I am doing business to make a fortune.

If you didn't know about my friend, I would have been in an awkward situation where I had to endure it silently."

While he was expressing his inner thoughts, he was also guarding against potential risks.

Director Yang said soothingly: "This is normal. It's hard to get rid of people's envy. You enjoy yourself happily every day, while others may have nothing to eat. How can you not be jealous? But please relax. With me and Deputy Director Li backing you up, nothing will go wrong.

But as for your friend, although he is very capable, you still have to be careful. Recently, the actions of the top leaders have become more and more frequent, and there may be major actions coming soon. As a friend, it is better to let him restrain himself after the New Year and wait until the storm is over. "

This was Director Yang's kind warning for the future. Only He Yuzhu knew that this action, which would sweep across the country in May of the following year, had already affected many people.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will go and talk to my friend as soon as I get off work. He has made a lot of money during this period and it is enough for living expenses." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll convey it for him and fulfill my duty as a friend. As for whether he listens or not, that's his choice." Director Yang said with a smile.

"Of course, we are all adults and he has his own judgment." He Yuzhu agreed with a smile.

When it comes to the money issue, Director Yang followed suit and took back the money from those who helped him sell pork. "The price they offered is one yuan per catty, no matter what kind of pork it is, it will be settled at this price. As for the 2000 catties of pork from the factory, I will give you part of it in cash, and the rest will be calculated at one yuan per catty. Tell your friends and see what they are willing to do." After thinking it over, he proposed.

Due to the influence of the Chinese New Year, the market price has naturally increased a bit. "Okay, I will definitely convey it. This is not the first time we have dealt with each other, and his response must be acceptable. In any case, I will come to report to you tomorrow morning." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news tomorrow. By the way, the young man didn't invite us leaders to have a meal together for his wedding, which is really not very considerate." Factory Director Yang Xiao said.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu remembered that he had promised to treat everyone to a meal, but he just hadn't made the time. He quickly apologized, "Oh, Director, you really wronged me. I have indeed been preparing the ingredients recently and planned to invite you and several other leaders to celebrate this weekend."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then have you made arrangements for tomorrow's lunch? About 15 or 16 people, two tables should be enough. Don't be polite, I promise I won't let you down. You are also a member of the management of our factory now, you should learn to get closer to your colleagues, if you have any troubles, there will always be someone to help you. Their congratulations may be a courtesy, but in fact they hope to take this opportunity to get closer to you and seek benefits for your family."

He smiled as if teaching a young man, "Although I know what they think, don't take it to heart. This is common sense. After all, it is a person like you who can bring benefits to them by 'getting to know' them." He Yuzhu said sincerely, "Thank you for your reminder. I will make proper arrangements. I will wait for you and the leaders in the small cafeteria at noon tomorrow."

At the steel mill, He Yuzhu left the director's office at 11:30 p.m. A few minutes after returning to the kitchen, Secretary Chen arrived with dishes and wine. He Yuzhu hurriedly started cooking and had a few drinks with Secretary Chen at lunch. After Secretary Chen left, he was finally able to be alone.

In the office, He Yuzhu made a pot of tea, then lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, thinking: "If nothing unexpected happens, this batch of pork will be my last chance to make money this year. But it is enough to meet my needs, plus the savings I have saved before, I don't have to worry about money in the next few years. However, this yard is finally crowded with people. As the factory director said, we are not afraid of poverty but the inequality of wealth. If I stay here for a long time, I will be in trouble sooner or later. Maybe it's time to buy a house."

When it comes to buying a house, the strong desire lingers in his heart for a long time. In China's 5,000-year-old culture, houses have always been the most precious thing for people, and He Yuzhu is no exception. He thought that an ordinary courtyard house in the 21st century is actually worth a lot of money, and he wanted to buy dozens of them immediately. But he is not in a hurry, because he believes that there will always be more suitable opportunities in the future.

After taking a long breath and getting rid of the alcohol, He Yuzhu gently locked the door and entered the space he carried with him, preparing to slaughter the pigs. Because the warehouse could no longer meet the quantity required by Deputy Director Li and Director Yang, he specially selected fat pigs weighing more than 400 kilograms and transported 15 at a time. He was busy for a while before returning.

There was nothing special to do that afternoon, and when the bell rang to signal the end of work, He Yuzhu quickly left the factory. In fact, if it weren't for the privacy of this position for the next ten years, he might not have been willing to do this job.

When he got home, he saw that there were still a lot of leftover dishes. He thought about it and decided to steam the leftovers with the remaining rice and steamed buns, and then cook them in a big pot of red stew. The hot pot was ready. "Honey, I'm home."

Just as Wang Qian finished cooking the dishes, she returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her husband cooking a large pot of food. Wang Qian's pretty face immediately gloomy.

"I'm back, dear. What's wrong with you? You seemed very happy when you first came in, why are you suddenly unhappy?" He Yuzhu felt a little confused.

Wang Qian did not answer He Yuzhu's question, but just looked at him with an angry expression. He Yuzhu suddenly remembered that he had promised Wang Qian the night before that he would visit his mother-in-law's house today.

Then, he quickly walked over and hugged her in his arms, saying gently, "I'm sorry, dear, it's my fault. We originally agreed to go home together today, but I have something urgent to do tonight, so I have to let you go. Can we go the day after tomorrow? Today is Thursday, and the day after tomorrow is Saturday. I can take a leave and not go to the factory. Then we can stay at home with you for two days on the weekend."

After hearing his sincere explanation, Wang Qian's expression eased a little. She raised her head and looked at him seriously: "Really?"

"Of course, it was indeed my fault before, but the current matter was decided at the last minute. You know, my friend once cooperated with the factory, and they originally agreed to deliver about 10,000 kilograms of pork to the factory on the 25th and 26th after the New Year. As the end of the year is approaching, the enthusiasm of the workers has decreased, so the delivery was temporarily changed to these few days. My friend is unwilling to come forward, so I have to contact both parties in person. If I don't go, the deal may be ruined!" He Yuzhu patiently explained to make amends for his negligence.

"Okay, then I'll forgive you this time. Actually, I'm not so eager to go to my mother-in-law's house, but after all, you agreed to it." Wang Qian said with a smile, explaining her conflicted mood.

However, before she finished her words, He Yuzhu quickly interrupted: "I understand. No matter what, it's all my fault. I will apologize. How about this? I will avoid the tasks for the next two days and take Saturday off. We will go to my parents' house on Saturday, and after lunch on Sunday, we will go directly to the mall and the Trust Mall to buy all the things we agreed on before. Do you think it's okay?"

"Forget it, I'll trust you again this time." Wang Qian nodded slightly and smiled.

"Thank you, my wife. Your heart is as broad as the sea!" He Yuzhu happily gave her a thumbs up and praised her.

The two chatted warmly for a while, and then began to eat. Not long after eating, there was another noise in the courtyard. He Yuzhu carefully distinguished that it was the uncle who came back to inform everyone that he would write the Spring Festival couplets for everyone this year.

Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, Xu Damao happened to come back from outside. Upon hearing the news, he immediately said sarcastically: "Writing Spring Festival couplets is a good deed, but uncle, why can't you do this thing more simply?"

"Why not just do it? I help everyone write every year, don't I?" The uncle retorted with a slightly indignant tone.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with what you said about writing Spring Festival couplets, I just think you should be more sincere. If you really want to help, why not just give it to everyone for free and forget about charging for writing materials?" Xu Damao smiled sarcastically.

"Don't tell me that red paper and ink are free?" Upon hearing this, the uncle became furious.

He Yuzhu stood in the house and heard this, and recalled the original plot in the book. Before 1966, the uncle did charge for writing, but from that year on, he changed his words and said that he would not charge any fees, and only asked for candy and roasted nuts as compensation. He did not say much about this, because he understood that this was Dayou's way of trying to ease the burden of life.
