Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

"Master He, I remember this."

Ma Hua nodded heavily to He Yuzhu and looked at him excitedly.

Master He is finally planning to take me in as his apprentice. I will study hard and earn more money after becoming a regular employee so that I can honor Master He and my family.

Ten minutes later, the last dish from the big pot was cooked by He Yuzhu and served in the big basin again. He put the pot and the spatula aside, and went back to the rest area to eat with the food he had reserved in advance.

"Okay, the dishes are ready, you can go get some food!"

"Got it, Master He."

Ma Hua nodded and went to the front carrying the big pot of freshly cooked food.

When the kitchen helpers saw that Ma Hua was the only one left, they all gathered around him and congratulated him, especially Liu Lan, who had a loud voice. Even though the noise in the kitchen was very loud, Liu Lan's voice could still be heard by He Yuzhu.

Of course, there are also some people who are sarcastic.

MCA also responded to their questions one by one in a kind and honest manner.

It was He Yuzhu who helped Ma Hua out of the siege, and the people surrounding Ma Hua dispersed.

He Yuzhu, with a cigarette in his mouth, shouted to the crowd: "What are you doing? Don't you have anything to do?"

Hearing this shout, the crowd immediately turned around and dispersed, each going about their own business.

Ma Hua gave He Yuzhu a grateful smile.

He Yuzhu waved at Ma Hua indifferently, then went back to continue eating.

Just after finishing the meal, the canteen director of the third canteen came over. He Yuzhu handed him a cigarette and asked, "Director, have you eaten yet? If not, ask them to prepare something for you?"

The third canteen director lit a cigarette and asked He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, I heard that you are planning to take Ma Hua as your apprentice. Is that true?"

"Yes! Director, what's wrong?"

He Yuzhu lit a cigarette and looked at the canteen director in confusion.

The third canteen director took a puff of his cigarette and asked with a smile, "Zhu Zi, since you plan to accept an apprentice."

"One is fine, two is fine, I'll find one for you, is that okay?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, that's fine."

"But Director, the person you are looking for must have good character and be hardworking, otherwise I won't hire him."

When the head of the third canteen saw that He Yuzhu agreed, he patted his chest and said with a smile: "Zhuzi, you can rest assured about the person I'm looking for."

"It won't cause any trouble, and I don't need you to teach me the family craft."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, Director, bring the person to the kitchen. I'll observe for two days. If there are no accidents, I'll take him in."

"Row."

The third canteen director chatted with He Yuzhu for a while, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.

The next day, the third canteen director brought someone to the canteen kitchen. It was a fat guy named Zhao Dezhu, who was a relative of the canteen director.

He Yuzhu observed for a while and felt that the little fat boy was pretty good. He was a little smart, worked seriously and did not cheat.

When frying the big pot of food, He Yuzhu also asked the fat boy Zhao Dezhu and Ma Hua to come over and watch, and told him to ask if he didn't understand anything and to take time to practice his arm strength.

Zhao Dezhu and Ma Hua can be considered as He Yuzhu's disciples.

Everyone in the cafeteria kitchen was very envious of the two of them, especially Zhao Dezhu. Ma Hua worked diligently and was honest and hardworking, so it was no surprise that he was accepted as an apprentice by He Yuzhu.

But everyone didn't understand why Zhao Dezhu was accepted as a disciple when he just came to the kitchen, and they started talking about it behind his back.

He Yuzhu didn't care about such discussions and continued to do what he was doing.

It was the canteen director who came out to stop them, and he also thought of a way to accidentally reveal the fact that the fat boy Zhao Desheng was his kiss.

Now that everyone knew that Zhao Desheng was a relative of the canteen director, there was a lot less talk, but it was still there. However, it had nothing to do with He Yuzhu.

Every day at work, he either scolds Ma Hua and the fat guy, or smokes and drinks tea, watching the two of them lift bricks. The big pot of food is basically left to the two of them, and he only cooks the dishes for the small canteen. Anyway, he is very comfortable.

On Xu Damao's side, Niu Chuansheng, the head of the Propaganda Department, brought two people over two days after Xu Damao mentioned the idea of ​​accepting apprentices.

These two people are quite capable, Xu Damao heard it from the section chief's words.

One of them is called Feng Kai, who is a relative of Chief Niu. He is a bit introverted, but a very honest person.

The other one is called Li Chen. According to Chief Niu, Li Chen is a distant relative of the logistics director Li Huaide. He has high emotional intelligence and is very perceptive, unlike Feng Kai who can't even get a single word out of him.

After Section Chief Niu finished his instructions and left, Xu Damao smoked a cigarette, squinted at Feng Kai and Li Chen, and said with a smile: "Kaizi, Chen, let me tell you about the job of a projectionist first."

Li Chen smiled tactfully and added some water to Xu Damao's teacup.

Xu Damao nodded to Li Chen, saying, "That's good. I'll teach him more techniques in the future." He looked at Feng Kai again and saw that he kept his head down. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He shook his head silently in his heart.

Xu Damao took a sip of water and then said to the two of them, "Although the projectionist is one of the eight major officials, it is very impressive to show movies in the countryside."

"But I'll tell you something you don't know. The factory now has two sets of projection equipment. One was purchased before liberation, and the other is a 54-type movie projector allocated by the state."

"Both sets of equipment are very heavy. Normally when I go to the countryside to show movies, I carry the projection equipment with me on my bike."

"Sometimes my bicycle breaks down, so I can only push it for 30 or 40 miles."

"So if you want to be a projectionist you must first be in good health, otherwise you won't be able to handle it, really won't be able to handle it."

Li Chen took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Got it, Master Xu."

Feng Kai also echoed softly: "Got it, Master Xu."

Feng Kai's voice was very soft and gentle. When Xu Damao heard it, he looked at him in surprise.

"If you want to smoke, just smoke. I don't have much to do here."

Xu Damao lit up a cigarette and continued, "There is one more thing you two need to know. You need to take good care of the projection equipment. After all, this is our livelihood."

"You also need to learn how to repair it. The first thing you need to do is to take good care of your health, and then you need to learn how to repair the projection equipment."

"Showing movies is simple. You two can just follow me when I go to the countryside to show movies. Just watch more. Now the main thing is to learn how to repair the equipment."

Li Chen nodded and said, "I understand."

Feng Kai just nodded at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Well, I won't tell you what to pay attention to when showing movies in the countryside."

"When you two come with me to the countryside to show movies, I'll tell you everything."

"I will disassemble the projection equipment and reassemble it. You two must watch carefully and ask if you don't understand."

Then Xu Damao took Li Chen and Feng Kai to a table nearby and taught them how to disassemble and assemble the projection equipment.
