Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 178 Liu Guangqi's Decision

The two came to Li Huaide's office, and Li Huaide was about to go to Qin Huairu's small warehouse.

During this period, the relationship between Li Huaide and Qin Huairu was heating up rapidly. His novelty towards Qin Huairu had not yet worn off, and they were in a sweet period.

Seeing He Daqing and Director Huang, Li Huaide asked in confusion: "Master He, Old Huang, what do you two want to talk to me about?"

Although he was anxious to have an in-depth exchange with Qin Huairu, Li Huaide did not dare to be careless when it came to getting down to business.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she has no power to fascinate others.

After He Daqing sat down, he said, "Director Li, I see that we have purchased a lot of seasonal vegetables recently. I have an immature idea that I would like to ask you for your reference."

Li Huaide gave them both a cigarette and said, "Master He, if you have any ideas, just speak up boldly. As long as they are useful, I will definitely support you strongly."

He Daqing said: "It's like this, we don't know when days like this will end, I think we should plan ahead and get ready early."

"Nowadays, some people in the countryside still grow some seasonal fruits and vegetables, so we buy more of them. For example, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, radishes, cabbages and the like. I plan to lead the kitchen staff to make kimchi or pickles that are easy to store."

"When winter comes, we will take these out to enrich the dishes in our cafeteria. Otherwise, with only the vegetables in the plan, there won't be enough for so many workers."

When Li Huaide heard this, he immediately said happily: "Master He, you are really our lucky general. What's so difficult about this? Vegetables in the countryside are relatively cheap now. I heard that everyone is short of food. If we use those grains to exchange, it can be cheaper."

"That's no problem. I'll discuss it with Director Yang and the others. We'll ask for more people and go around all the surrounding villages to try to get more back."

"But this will make your kitchen staff work hard. Don't worry, I will find a way to give everyone some overtime allowance during this period."

He Daqing nodded. The fact that Li Huaide could think of the overtime pay issue for the kitchen staff made He Daqing look at him with a higher opinion of him.

So, the matter was decided in just a few words.

However, Li Huaide also had to say hello to Director Yang, and also purchase a batch of large jars for making kimchi and pickles.

He Daqing is quite familiar with the method of making kimchi.

He had learned about Sichuan's kimchi and Northeast China's pickled vegetables on the Internet in his previous life.

After purchasing the things, he will hand them all over to his apprentice.

Although I have taken them in during this period, the materials are limited now, so I haven't taught them much. Teaching them to make kimchi and pickled vegetables is also a skill.

Now that we have a plan, it depends on how much Li Huaide and his team can receive.

He Daqing had just got home from get off work that day and had not even eaten yet. Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi walked in with smiles on their faces.

"Da Qing just got back from get off work?"

Looking at the arrogant Liu Haizhong, He Daqing couldn't figure out why he came.

Logically speaking, Liu Haizhong and him weren't on good terms now, sometimes they didn't even say hello when they met. Now he came over with a smug face, he must have something to ask of him.

Thinking of this, He Daqing nodded expressionlessly and said, "Lao Liu, I just came back and haven't had time to eat yet. Just tell me what you want to say."

He took out a big front door from his fringe and handed it to He Daqing, saying, "Well, this is what happened. My Guangqi has just graduated from a technical secondary school. He has a girlfriend in school, and her father is a leader."

"Now that they have graduated, we plan to hold their wedding as soon as possible. So we plan to ask you to prepare a few tables for us. What do you think?"

He Daqing was stunned when he heard this.

"So soon? You're planning on running away right after graduation!"

However, he could only think about this in his heart and dared not say it out loud.

After a pause, He Daqing said, "Old Liu, don't you see what the situation is like now? People can't even fill their stomachs. Where are you going to get ingredients for the banquet? Besides, is this really okay?"

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said proudly: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way. My family has only married once in Guangqi's life. Besides, the girl's father is also a leading cadre. We, the Liu family, cannot do anything that would make others lose face."

Looking at the arrogant and domineering Liu Haizhong, He Daqing stopped trying to persuade him.

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

Liu Haizhong only favors his eldest son, and he really has no way to say anything, otherwise he will be in trouble.

"Since you can get the ingredients, Lao Liu, I agree to cook for you. After all, we are neighbors. I charge about eight to ten yuan for cooking for others. For you, it will be five yuan per table."

"Don't think it's expensive. You should have heard of my cooking skills. Even foreigners praise my cooking. Besides, I'm a second-level chef. This fee is given because we have been neighbors for so many years. Don't even think about it."

When Liu Haizhong heard that He Daqing wanted to charge a fee, and it was so expensive, he was ready to curse.

But Liu Guangqi behind him grabbed his arm and made him swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Uncle He, I know you're giving us a discount because we're neighbors. Don't worry, we agree to this price."

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something, but Liu Guangqi pulled him hard, signaling him to go back and talk.

He Daqing looked at Liu Guangqi and nodded. This child is really a good thing. He is the only good seedling in the Liu family.

"Okay, you guys discuss it first, and then come back to me when you've set a date. We can discuss the menu then."

After finishing the conversation, Liu Guangqi took Liu Haizhong out of the door and walked towards his home.

After passing through the Moon Gate, Liu Haizhong broke free from his son's pull and said angrily, "Why are you holding me? Let's let He Daqing cook. That's to give him face."

"We are neighbors, but he dares to ask me for money. He is really rebellious! My son will be a leading cadre in the future, and my in-laws are also big leaders. Letting him, He Daqing, prepare the banquet is a sign of respect for him."

"Otherwise, I will ask this little canteen director to get out immediately!"

Liu Guangqi looked at his father speechlessly. This was one of the reasons why he didn't want to stay at home.

Others all cheat their fathers, but in his case, he directly cheats his son.

I just graduated and haven't even completed my internship. How can I be in charge of the deputy director of the canteen?

No matter how powerful his father-in-law is, he is not from the same factory. How could he really cause trouble for He Daqing over such a small matter?

Thinking of this, Liu Guangqi, who was originally a little hesitant, finally made up his mind to stay away from here, otherwise he would be dragged down by his family sooner or later in this life.
