Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

A leader with gray hair and wrinkles all over his face, but in very good spirits, said with a cane, "Oh, the chefs at your Red Star Steel Rolling Mill have this skill. I wonder if we will be lucky enough to eat this flower cake!"

Although Li Huaide didn't know this leader, he knew that none of the old guys who came today were easy to mess with. He smiled and said, "I will immediately ask the chef in our cafeteria to make it for you leaders to taste." The white-haired leader smiled and waved his hand and said, "There is no need to make an exception for us old guys. Let's go and see the banquet at your steel mill first."

Yang Jianye and Li Huaide quickly welcomed these old leaders into the Red Star Steel Mill, followed by workers from various factories. Looking at the appearance of the workers at the Red Star Steel Mill, some leaders were quite satisfied. The white-haired leader just now said to Liu Hanshan with a smile, "It seems that the workers in your factory look very good. Is the food good?"

The group walked directly to the playground. The fragrance in the air could not be concealed. The white-haired leader looked at the arrangements on the playground with a smile and said, "Your way of eating is quite interesting. You divide the dishes into portions. It's quite an innovative idea."

Li Huaide said, "In fact, the reason we do this is to prevent some people from eating more than they like. It's also unhygienic, so we came up with this separate dining system so that everyone can choose the set meal they like and don't have to worry about not being able to grab the food from others."

The white-haired leader nodded with a smile, thinking that this was a good idea. A middle-aged leader next to him said unhappily, "Will this hinder the enthusiasm of the comrades? The last time I attended a dinner at the machine repair factory, I felt that it would be better for everyone to sit together and eat."

Liu Hanshan said with a bad look on his face, "Hu Datou, I think it's good to eat like this. After all, I feel very uncomfortable eating with chopsticks that have been used by others." The middle-aged leader named Wu Datou did not get furious because of Liu Hanshan's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "We are all comrades. How can comrades dislike each other? This is a very serious class issue. I think we must..."

The white-haired leader waved his hand to signal him to shut up, smiled and said, "I think the system of the steel rolling mill is not bad. It is quite hygienic to eat your own food. There is no need to make a big deal about it. This is a very small matter." Although Wu Datou was unhappy, he still nodded with a smile to show that he supported what the white-haired leader said.

Li Huaide said, "When we first came up with this system, we once voted in our Red Star Steel Mill. Because the minority obeys the majority, most people still like this separate dining system. Leaders, please try the cooking skills of our Red Star Steel Mill chefs, they are quite good."

These leaders looked at each other, and naturally they were very happy. Secretary Wang brought a few people to deliver a few lunch boxes, and then the group joined the queue. The closer they got to the big pot, the more they could smell the strong aroma of rice and vegetables. The white-haired leader swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't expect that a small Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would have such a skilled master. I, Old Su, have seen the world before, but I didn't expect to see the world today."

The group ordered their own meals, and then each of them took their own staple food. Sitting at a table, the white-haired leader tasted a bite, narrowed his eyes, and exclaimed, "It's really delicious, isn't it just an ordinary wild vegetable? Hmm, how can it be cooked so fragrantly. Not to mention this braised pork, it's both fragrant and glutinous."

Director Yang's personal secretary, Secretary Wang, brought over a few more bowls of soup. The white-haired leader said unhappily, "The other workers don't have any soup in their hands. You're serving soup to us old guys. Don't you think it's a bit unfair?"

Secretary Wang smiled and said quickly, "Leaders, you are really worrying too much. Do all the workers have this soup?" The white-haired leader asked in surprise, "Oh, really, everyone has it. What kind of soup is this?" The white-haired leader took a sip and felt that the soup tasted really good.

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "This is what our chef cooked last night. It's made by chopped large bones." Liu Hanshan also felt it was very delicious after taking a sip. He smiled and said, "I haven't had such a thick soup in a long time. It's really delicious. It's better than chicken soup. The chef in your factory is really good."

Yang Jianye and Li Huaide were also very happy. He Yuzhu had won face for their Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and the factory director was naturally happy. Yang Jianye and Li Huaide hurriedly toasted the leaders at the table, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

Xu Damao took his lunch box and found an empty seat to eat. He saw a sneaky person. The sneaky person was Cui Dake and his two lackeys. Xu Damao stopped eating and followed Cui Dake and the other two to see what they were up to.

The lackey Jia said to Cui Dake in fear, "Brother, we are in trouble. If we really do this and are discovered by the people from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, we will be dead or at least skinned alive." Cui Dake snorted coldly and said, "Damn it, today is a good opportunity. Didn't you agree last night? Let's take advantage of this meeting to steal some scrap steel and iron and sell them to earn some pocket money so that we can go out and have fun."

The lackey B smiled and said, "Er Gouzi, you are as timid as a needle. Brother Cui is right. Now all the workers in the Red Star Steel Mill are having a big meal on the playground. Who will pay attention to us brothers? When the time comes, we brothers will make some money in the Red Star Steel Mill, and then we can have some fun with the girls in the Bada Hutongs. If you don't want to go, Brother Cui and I will definitely not force you. But think about it, those girls in the Bada Hutongs have nothing to do with you."
