Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

Hearing this, Zhang Baoguo suddenly patted his head and said, "Yes, I forgot that you had just started to take over these purchasing affairs. It was my mistake. I didn't remind you before... Why is the purchasing responsibility so coveted by many people? Because in addition to the lucrative benefits, it also includes the right to choose the cooperatives and food factories that cooperate with us."

Not only that, a full 20 percent of the annual procurement budget is freely allocated by each department.”

"There is such a rule?" He Yuzhu was surprised.

"That's natural. There's actually a reason for that. Nowadays, supplies are scarce. Relying solely on the supplies provided by the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned farms cannot meet the needs of large factories in the city. That's why there's this unwritten agreement: the purchasing department has 20% of the annual budget to make its own purchases."

"For example, when we go to the countryside to purchase goods, we often cannot produce official receipts, and some people even don't want others to know about their transactions with us. So what should we do? As long as we bring back enough materials and pay according to the market price, everything is open and transparent, and then it is reviewed by the Finance Department and signed and confirmed by the person in charge, then it is considered completed."

At this point, Zhang Baoguo said, "You should understand why Director Yang agreed to let your friend complete the deal, right? It was because of the remaining 20% ​​of the authority for independent purchase."

"Oh, I understand. Strictly speaking, what I did was hoarding. Why did the factory give me an extra 200 yuan as a reward? That's why." He Yuzhu suddenly realized.

“Haha, this cannot be considered illegal. When you have time, investigate the surrounding factories. They will be very envious of us for having access to those fish resources. If it weren’t for me or Director Yang stepping in, the outcome of that big business might have been different.” Zhang Baoguo said with a happy smile.

"I understand. I will contact my friend right away and ask him if he can help me get some more potatoes." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"This is the right way. Comrade He Yuzhu, it was not in vain that I let you be in charge of purchasing from the beginning. With your ability, you can get supplies for the factory. Moreover, why did Deputy Director Li choose to promote you? Isn't it because of this advantage of yours?" Zhang Baoguo said with a smile, with envy flashing in his eyes.

"So that's how it is. I thought getting a promotion was like riding a roller coaster, but now it all depends on this!" He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, but his mind suddenly became clear.

**A little knowledge**

Regarding the 20% self-limit in procurement, please do not question it. This is a setting I made after consulting the information and verifying with my predecessors. Some state-owned enterprises do have similar operations. This is just a specific situation, not everywhere. Xiaohuo has no intention of arguing, just trying to be as close to reality as possible. As for the dark or sunny side, in writing "The Story of the Siheyuan", Xiaohuo chose to avoid exaggerating the darkness or extremes as much as possible. Readers' preferences vary from person to person. Some may not like this, while others may appreciate my choice. Understand **, everyone.

At the same time, the protagonist's experience will have a profound impact on the people around him, and good and bad impressions will change frequently, which is also common sense. Furthermore, for the plot of the series, the protagonist's different mood changes also need to be presented according to the predetermined story line.

For example, Qin Jingru was arranged to go on a blind date with the protagonist, but then something unexpected happened and she left. This arrangement also has its reasons to be solved. Regarding the suspicion mentioned by the readers that the protagonist would be jealous, in fact, this is not a definitive conclusion. The intention of the plot design depends on the ending, which has not yet been revealed, so it is not appropriate to make hasty judgments.

As a modern personality, the protagonist's attempt to save Bang Geng is reasonable for him to show sympathy and kindness, even if the result is not as he wished and Bang Geng is indifferent and ignorant, which also shows another level of authenticity. People's differences in their preferences for things are objective, "everyone has their own preferences, and they share the same ideals."

Regarding the reading experience, those who agree with the author's ideas can continue reading, and those who disagree can choose to put it down, without forcing agreement. Xiaohuo has dealt with radical and offensive comments, and only hopes that everyone will respect the space for speech. The world of books is free and open, and it is not easy for authors to create, so I implore everyone to be kind, and malicious comments can easily affect people's mood, so please understand.

Back in Zhang Baoguo's office at the steel rolling mill, looking at He Yuzhu's expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, Zhang Baoguo couldn't help but laugh out loud. It is a pleasant thing to help the younger generation improve.

"You, you are unrivaled in cooking, but when it comes to other things, you are still a novice. There are too many twists and turns here. Just learn slowly," Zhang Baoguo said with a smile, showing tolerance for He's recklessness.

"Thank you for the guidance, Director. I was young and inexperienced, which led to misunderstandings. I was complacent with my own strength." He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, feeling grateful to Zhang Baoguo in his heart. After all, the two had a complicated relationship in the past, and it was not easy for them to work together now.

Since crossing over, Zhang Baoguo has not put pressure on him, but has given him a lot of help, which is also what he is grateful for. "You don't need to feel too much about this. It is also a manifestation of your ability and luck to meet such genius friends like them. If it were someone else, they might be unable to solve such a problem even if they were faced with 100,000 cash." Zhang Baoguo comforted him, "Just do your job well. A stable job can stop those gossips."

He really admired He Yuzhu's self-control and good interpersonal skills. After all, as the saying goes, "A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold." Change is worth affirming, and as long as there is talent, it will definitely be appreciated.

"I will, Director. Thank you for your reminder. I will go back to work first and ask my friend for advice if I need it." He Yuzhu stood up to answer and expressed his gratitude. Then, he left the office with a clear plan in mind.

"Go with peace of mind. I think you need to really ask for advice. It's best to find a solution quickly because the shortage of materials cannot be improved overnight. If this matter is delayed, it will affect the meals of the factory workers. In that case, not only you will be affected, but I will also be affected," Zhang Baoguo warned seriously.

He Yuzhu made a lot of promises, said goodbye to his leader and left the office, determined to find a solution as soon as possible.

Soon, he returned to the kitchen and saw that everyone was busy. He looked around to see if anyone needed help and immediately joined in.

With his joining, everyone's work efficiency improved rapidly.

At this time, Zhou Hui rushed into the kitchen and rushed to where He Yuzhu was. Seeing the smile on He Yuzhu's face, Zhou Hui expected the progress of the matter and estimated that the potato supply crisis should have been resolved.

"Director, the 1200 kilograms of potatoes purchased today have arrived and have been unloaded. Here is the bill, please take a look." Zhou Hui said excitedly.

After receiving the order, He Yuzhu thought it was a great achievement to be able to buy potatoes at this time, even though the price was 0.5 cents higher. "Well done," he said generously, "Take this order to the Finance Department to get it stamped, and come to my office later to find me."

"Thank you for the praise, Director. This is also a fluke." Zhou Hui said modestly: "This supply company originally mainly supplies residents in Xicheng District. A month ago, they bought too many potatoes and there were only a few left. I took the opportunity to buy them all."

"Well, go and settle this transaction first, and we'll talk about other things later." After giving the instructions, Zhou Hui hurriedly left to get the approval form and go to the Finance Department.

At the same time, He Yuzhu went to the canteen gate and started processing potatoes with everyone.

Everyone got busy and the lunch preparation was completed in a short time.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." He Yuzhu shouted.

Zhou Hui walked into the room, handed over the receipt again, and said with a smile: "Director, the payment has been settled and given to this supply company. Here is the receipt, please take a look."

He Yuzhu glanced at him casually and said, "Sit down for a while. I have something to tell you."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Hui.

Taking the cup, Zhou Hui sat up straight and said attentively, "Thank you, Director."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Master Zhou, you don't have to be so reserved. Be more casual. I called you here to discuss the 20% of the canteen's independent purchasing quota. I just listened to Director Zhang's brief introduction, but I don't know the details."

Zhou Hui felt a little relieved when this question was raised, because it was not something new to him. "Director, the canteen's 20% self-purchase ratio is an old rule that was mentioned by the old employees when I first joined the factory. This rule existed when our factory was a private enterprise in the early days of the founding of New China, and it was decided by the purchasing staff at that time. It was not until 1956 when our steel mill was converted into a public-private partnership that this system was temporarily suspended."

"But within two years, due to changes in the international situation, our country was short of supplies. The items provided by state-owned factories and supply agencies were far from meeting our needs. Since then, factory leaders have restarted independent procurement, stipulating that 20% of the total annual procurement amount can be purchased by each of them. As long as the person in charge of procurement and the finance department sign and confirm, it can be recorded in the account."

He added, "But there is a clear price limit when purchasing independently. The price cannot be higher than the market price by 5%. As long as it is within this ratio, the purchased items can be directly sent to the Finance Department for reimbursement."

As for the canteen's purchasing work, Comrade Zhao Xigui and I can both make purchases on our own. For example, there was a shortage of potatoes today, so I solved the problem by purchasing the supplies myself.

However, the main purchases are still made by Comrade Zhao Xigui, who is mainly responsible for grain and meat. Grain is relatively easy to get, and if it is really impossible to buy it at the designated cooperative, you can turn to other unofficial channels. However, the supply of meat is tight, especially the supply from factories or farms is often stretched, so most of the time it is necessary to buy it at a high price in the pigeon market. For example, pork, poultry and fish are mostly obtained through the pigeon market or directly from the countryside to purchase the extra surplus of the brigade's breeding. "

"So that's how it is. Now I understand now that you put it." He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to show his understanding.
