If you disagree, I'll pretend I never mentioned it."

Jia Zhang thought about it carefully and felt that this was a good plan, so she said, "It's completely possible. Although Sha Zhu is unrestrained, he has a Beijing hukou, a two-bedroom apartment, and a not-so-low salary of 37.5 yuan per month. He always has money to spend and will provide us with some financial support.

However, I remind you that once you introduce your sister to him, you must also restrain yourself so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

It’s not like Sha Zhu hasn’t been on blind dates before, but I believe you understand why every marriage always ended in failure.

If you make the same mistake again, the confused Shazhu before might not be able to tell right from wrong, but this Shazhu now might be smarter than you. "

After hearing these words, Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling heavy in her heart, as she knew very well the reason why Sha Zhu's blind date failed.

So she said, "Then let's take a rest. I'll take a day off tomorrow to pick up my niece."

After the family fell asleep at Jia's house, the eldest brother Yi Zhonghai tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

In his opinion, the topic he just brought up with Sha Zhu made him feel extremely anxious.

This is a matter of life and death, so we cannot act rashly.

If something goes wrong, it is best to find another way out, because even if my aunt and I die, no one will know.

But he was worried that he couldn't tell his aunt about this. After all, it was sudden that Sha Zhu became so sensible from today, and he was not sure whether he would change in the future.

Such thoughts made Yi Zhonghai feel confused and unable to sleep.

"Is there a needle on the bed sheet? It makes you toss and turn and you can't sleep well. Is it because you have something unresolved?"

The aunt was sleeping nearby and was disturbed by Yi Zhonghai's movements, so she couldn't help but ask.

Noticing that the old lady was in a bad mood, Yi Zhonghai didn't say much, just said: "It's okay, go to bed early."

Although he didn't say it out loud, Yi Zhonghai had secretly made up his mind to ask the deaf old lady tomorrow morning. She was recognized as the elder Taishan and the treasure who sat firmly in the courtyard.

The cold winter night has passed, and the winter in Beijing is really cold.

If it weren't for the common heating habit among northerners, many people in the south would probably die of cold.

The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was to complete the daily login. After earning 100 gold coins, He Yuzhu exhaled and quickly got up.

Thanks to his hard work in his previous life and with the help of his family, he seized the opportunity to buy a house when the housing prices were low and purchased a floor heating system with air conditioning and a large amount of electricity.

When he came here, if his body had not adapted to the cold, his house with bare walls and poor thermal insulation performance might have sent him back to the 21st century.

After washing up, he heated up the leftover dishes from last night and walked to the backyard.

Living in the yard were the old man's family, his enemy Xu Damao, and the reclusive old lady.

This deaf old lady is recognized as the Taishan ancestor of the entire courtyard, but no one knows her exact age.

Since Jia Zhang moved into this courtyard, she has been respected as the oldest person in the courtyard because of her prestige rather than her age.

If she had not interfered and arranged for Lou Xiao'e to divorce Xu Damao and marry her, her predecessor's life might have been in the predicament of being childless.

More importantly, in the original book, the deaf old lady really treated him as her own grandson, cared for him deeply, and always thought of him when there were good things.

He Yuzhu is not an ungrateful person. Although these situations have not yet occurred, it does not prevent him from having deep respect for the old lady in his heart.

"Auntie, are you up so early in the morning?"

When he entered the yard, he saw the deaf old lady already doing her morning activities at the door, so He Yuzhu quickly greeted her.

"Oh, grandson, why did you take the time to come and see me today? Aren't you always lazy in bed?" The old lady was full of joy and a little surprised.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, he understood that was the habit of his original body.

There was no urgent need for him to go early in the cafeteria, as long as it didn't delay the cooking time, so he often got up after everyone else went to work.

"Grandma, I couldn't sleep tonight, thinking that Yu Yatou might be leaving soon, and I don't usually eat breakfast at home.

There are some good things left over from yesterday. You are an old man with limited mobility. If you don’t mind, you can keep them. Just heat them up when you want to eat them. It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish them. They won’t go bad in the cold weather anyway. "He Yuzhu said with a smile.

When she heard what he said, the deaf old lady smiled even more brightly and quickly invited He Yuzhu into the house.

"My eldest grandson, you are so thoughtful that you still remember this lonely old woman." Looking at the pot full of dishes, the old lady was surprised and moved.

As for whether those are leftovers, it is not important. Nowadays, we are very lucky to have something to eat, so we have no right to care about these things.

"Your words warm my heart. In fact, I have always understood in my heart that I was a little confused and forgot to take care of you. I am wrong. I apologize to you.

From now on, whenever I am at home for breakfast and dinner, I will come over to eat with you, okay?" He Yuzhu explained patiently, with gratitude flashing in his eyes.

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears, and she pretended not to hear what he said. "What are you talking about? I can't hear you!"

She responded playfully.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, despite being called a "deaf old lady"

, but she didn't completely ignore it, she just chose not to mind such topics.

He Yuzhu didn't take it too seriously. After chatting with the old lady for a while, he had to go to work. He didn't want to be late like he had in the past, so he said goodbye to the rain and rushed to work early.

Xu Damao's home:

"Hey, Ezi, do you think Shazhu is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? He is so nice to the old lady, isn't it just to get her house in the future?" Xu Damao asked maliciously, his voice was loud, intentionally so that both of them could hear.

After hearing Xu Damao's speculation, Lou Xiao'e did not respond. As one of the few daughters of a scholarly family in this era, she knew that it was not in line with her character to belittle others behind their backs.

"Forget it, forget it. What does it matter whether she is really stupid or not? The old lady is a five-guarantee household and has no children. Sha Zhu really helps her with her old age, but it's just a house. What does that prove?" Lou Xiao'e retorted.

In the backyard of Xu Damao's house, after listening to Lou Xiao'e's explanation, Xu Damao thought that this matter had nothing to do with him and did not investigate it further.

As the saying goes, mind your own business.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he turned to his wife and said, "By the way, Ezi, didn't the steel mill arrange for me to show a movie today? It's "Ashima". If you are interested, come and take a look, and by the way, see how I usually show movies." Xu Damao continued, as if he was intentionally demonstrating his own strength.

Considering her poor health, Lou Xiao'e just nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Xu Damao told her to rest more and then left home.

In the canteen of the steel mill, Ma Hua immediately spotted him when he walked into the kitchen: "Hey, chef, why are you here so early this morning?"

Haha, maybe it’s because I’m getting old, I have trouble falling asleep at night, and it’s boring at home, so I came here early to have a look. There are so many friends here to chat with, it’s really great! ”

He Yuzhu said with a happy smile.

"Yeah, that's true."

Ma Hua responded with a smile, and then asked if they wanted to continue yesterday's knife training today.

He Yuzhu was about to speak when he saw Secretary Chen coming in with a lunch box.

Seeing He Yuzhu was also there, he immediately smiled excitedly and said, "Master He, I really have to thank you for the lunch box you sent last night.

My wife was a little unhappy because I came home late, but her worries disappeared immediately when she saw your loving meal!

To be honest, I have been in Beijing for so many years, and only the delicious dishes I have tasted at state banquets can compare to your cooking skills! When it comes to cooking, you are definitely a master!"

As he spoke, Secretary Chen gave a thumbs up to show his appreciation.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu laughed.

He took the lunch box and handed it to Ma Hua, saying politely: "If you don't mind the trouble, I'll bring some back every day. Anyway, the taste of these foods will be greatly reduced after one day!"

Although it was cold, the taste of the dishes did deteriorate due to the storage time.

After hearing what he said, Secretary Chen was very happy, but he did not do this out of the mentality of taking advantage.

Bringing food yesterday was just a way of showing respect to this master chef.

Of course, He Yuzhu understood the reason, but the more courtesy, the better. He has been struggling in society for so many years, so he naturally understands the importance of this little thing.

The two chatted for a while, and Secretary Chen suddenly remembered, patted his head quickly, and said regretfully: "Oh, I'm so careless, I almost forgot the business, and I was just thinking about chatting with Master He.

The factory manager wants to see you about something important, so let me take you there."

After saying that, he added in a low voice: "It's a good thing!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled, indicating that he understood, and then prepared to leave.

Secretary Chen waited for a while, then followed him to the factory director's office.

“Knock!”

"Come in!"

Director Yang's loud voice came from the office.

After entering, the secretary first reported: "Director, Master He has arrived."

Director Yang, who was originally busy with his head down, immediately smiled when he heard He Yuzhu's name and greeted him: "Oh, Master He, you're here. Please take a seat. I was too busy just now and didn't notice you. Don't be offended." He was very friendly to He Yuzhu.

Seeing Director Yang being so friendly, He Yuzhu quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was not a problem.

Director Yang asked his secretary to pour a cup of tea and gently gestured outside. Then he sat on the sofa side by side with He Yuzhu and asked gently, "Master He, your cooking skills are outstanding, far beyond ordinary chefs.

If I had known you were here, I would have lightened your burden a long time ago. I am sorry for having wronged you all these years. "

"Serving the people is not a matter of grievance or injustice."

He Yuzhu said modestly.

“Hahaha, he is indeed our factory’s chef, with a high level of ideological awareness.

This time I came to you for two main things,... "(The story development content is not provided, you can create it later)

It's a good thing that you have been working as a chef for more than ten years and now you are considered an eighth-level chef.

But now the leaders of the factory have discussed it and do not want to bury your talent, so they decided to promote you to a level six chef.

If you perform well in the future, there will be room for improvement. "

The position of a Level 37.5 chef is two levels higher than that of a Level 50 chef, and the salary will also increase from yuan per month to nearly yuan! As for the specific salary increase, Xiaohuo is not sure, so let's just wait and see.

“Thank you very much for the promotion!”

He Yuzhu stood up to express his gratitude. He understood that this was mainly because the dishes he cooked yesterday were excellent and won the recognition of Director Yang.

However, since we are talking about two things, one is a good thing, and the other may not be as we wish.

“You’re welcome, it’s mainly because you’re so capable, Master He.

Otherwise, I can't promote you even if I want to.

Besides, you are old enough, so no one will make trouble for you. "Director Yang laughed loudly and waved in response.

He Yuzhu expressed his gratitude again: "It is because the factory director thinks highly of me that I have this opportunity. I should be grateful!"

"Haha, Master He is extraordinary!"

The factory manager laughed and said that he admired employees who knew when to advance and when to retreat.

"Just call me Xiao He or Sha Zhu, please don't call me 'Master'.

As a senior executive in the factory, it is not appropriate for others to hear you, as it may lead to misunderstandings." He Yuzhu said modestly again.

Although the factory director hates flatterers, he likes capable people very much.

It's not a bad thing for He Yuzhu to want to build relationships.

After all, the name is just a detail.

"Okay, that's what I'll call you, Xiao He.

As for the next thing... I have something to ask Xiao He, can you cook Sichuan cuisine? Not only can you cook it, but your skills must be the same as yesterday, or at least reach the standard of that time! "

Hearing these words, He Yuzhu sensed the caution in the factory director's tone.

He knew from the original work that the factory director wanted him to prepare some hometown dishes for the superiors.

Because the big leader is originally from Sichuan, and has lived in this old city for many years, he misses the taste of his hometown.

"To be honest, I can't say anything else, but I have learned a little bit about food, whether it's from the eight major cuisines or other local specialties.

Especially when it comes to cuisines as broad as Sichuan cuisine, I’m very good at it.

The dishes I prepared yesterday were only 10% or 20% of my performance, mainly due to the limited ingredients and cooking time. "He Yuzhu vowed.

The factory director was delighted when he heard this. It was difficult for ordinary famous chefs to match the cooking skills of yesterday, and yet he claimed that he had only performed at 50% or 60% of his level. It seemed that Master He had the potential to be a big star that was unknown to the public.

That assumes he is telling the truth.

After examining He Yuzhu for a while, the factory director considered for a moment and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll believe you this time.

This is neither a completely good thing nor a completely bad thing. It can barely be said to be a troublesome thing.

I hope to invite you to go with me to another place and prepare a table of authentic Sichuan cuisine.

If you do a good job, you will be rewarded.

But if I... I think you should understand the consequences, right? "

"Haha, I understand, don't worry.

Of course, if you're still worried, I can show you my lunch-making skills in the cafeteria first, just as a test," He Yuzhu replied with a cheerful smile.
