Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Liu Haizhong was blocked at the door by Director Zhang and was scolded loudly.

Everyone working in the workshop stretched their necks to secretly watch the fun.

Liu Haizhong was also a man who cared about his reputation. Being humiliated in front of so many people, he angrily cursed: "I'm not feeling well today, but I can take a day off! Just wait, I'm going to the factory to report you for abusing your power and maliciously retaliating. You're just jealous of me!"

After saying that, he turned around angrily and prepared to leave.

Director Zhang looked at Liu Haizhong with disdain and said, "Your leaving today will be considered as absenteeism, and your salary will be deducted. And you have to go to work tomorrow, and you will still have to move those embryos."

Liu Haizhong had taken two steps towards the door, but when he heard this, he stopped abruptly.

Ever since the family's eldest son Liu Guangqi emptied the family's savings over the years, Liu Haizhong's family has been living in poverty. Even his favorite scrambled eggs cannot be eaten every day. He can only secretly buy a few from the black market every three to five days to satisfy his craving.

The subsidies and rewards the factory gave him were still a considerable amount. If his salary was added to it, the loss would be much greater.

But thinking about the large and heavy cast iron embryo, if he were to move it by himself, wouldn't that cost him his life?

However, seeing Director Zhang's official attitude, Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and uttered a few words angrily.

"Okay, I'll move! We'll see!"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong ignored Director Zhang and turned to walk inside.

Director Zhang curled his lips in disdain and shouted from behind: "Today's task is quite heavy, everyone should do their own work well. If anyone goes to help others, his workload will be doubled!"

This prevents Liu Haizhong's disciples from going to help him.

You should know that although Liu Haizhong is not a good person, he is good at teaching apprentices. There are several of his apprentices in the workshop. The highest one is a fifth-level blacksmith and he also has apprentices.

If these people could help, Liu Haizhong's work would not be a problem.

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he turned around and glared at Director Zhang fiercely. He decided that when he had the chance, he would take revenge severely.

Director Zhang didn't take Liu Haizhong's threat seriously at all.

You have offended your superiors, especially Director Li, who is currently the most popular one. What do you want in the future? What good will you have in the future?

Liu Haizhong was forced to move the cast iron embryos for the entire morning, and he was so tired that he almost collapsed on the ground.

The smallest embryo weighs more than ten pounds, and the largest weighs over a hundred pounds. In the whole morning, Liu Haizhong had not even finished moving one-third of them.

Finally it was time for lunch. Seeing all the workers in the workshop rushing to the canteen with their lunch boxes, Liu Haizhong also held on to the wall and went to the canteen with his lunch box to eat. He was tired and hungry at the moment. If he didn't eat something, he would not be able to move all the embryos in the afternoon.

Liu Haizhong was not stupid either. He had just had a quarrel with Sha Zhu in the morning, so he did not go to the nearest canteen No. 2, but went to the canteen No. 1 which was a little farther away to get food.

But who owns the canteen? It is the world of Zhang Tieshao, the apprentice of He Daqing.

Long before, Sha Zhu had informed several canteens that they must take revenge on Liu Haizhong if they met him.

Zhang Tieshao and others were outraged when they learned that Liu Haizhong dared to slander their master.

If this wasn't happening in the factory, Ma Hua and a few others would have wanted to settle the score with Liu Haizhong right away, as they were all holding a grudge at that time.

When Liu Haizhong arrived at a cafeteria, he was just at the end of the line when someone who had noticed him a long time ago reported him to Zhang Tieshao.

Zhang Tieshao glanced coldly at Liu Haizhong who was standing behind him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then he nodded to a kitchen helper who was serving food beside him, turned around and watched from the side.

This had been discussed long ago. No matter who Liu Haizhong queued in front of, everyone would let him know the consequences of offending the kitchen staff.

Liu Haizhong was already starving when he smelled the fragrance of the food.

A whole morning of intense physical labor almost cost him his life. Seeing that it was soon his turn, Liu Haizhong quickly stretched his neck and took out his lunch box.

Although the disaster has not yet passed, large factories such as steel mills still have certain quotas. In addition, He Daqing organized everyone to stock up on kimchi and pickles last year, and occasionally paired them with some low-priced seafood, so overall it is still good.

Just like today, the staple food is steamed corn bread made from grains mixed with tree bark ground into powder, and the side dishes are a hodgepodge of seafood and pickles fried together.

But when Liu Haizhong came to the front, the kitchen helper who was serving food gave the last steamed bun in the steamer to the person in front.

Liu Haizhong watched helplessly as the steamed bread was taken away. He hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Comrade, do you have any more steamed bread?"

The kitchen helper glanced at him and said, "No more! Please come earlier next time. We have sold out today."

"Then what should I eat?"

"What do you eat have to do with me? Who made you come the latest? We can't steam another basket just for you! We don't have steamed buns, do you want any vegetables?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he almost jumped up, but when he saw the kitchen helper was about to clean up, he prepared to take the dish away.

He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, get me some food first!"

The kitchen helper took his lunch box and used an iron spoon to vigorously stir the few leftovers. When the spoon came out, there was only half a spoonful of soup and a few shells floating in the soup.

He poured it into Liu Haizhong's lunch box and said, "These are the only dishes we have. If you don't want any, go to another cafeteria."

Liu Haizhong was stunned on the spot. If he went to other canteens at this time, there might not even be soup.

He had come out a little late to begin with, and after a long morning of fatigue, his legs and feet were not flexible and he walked slowly. He was the last one to arrive here, and if he went to another canteen, there would be no food.

Thinking of the conflict with Sha Zhu in the morning, Liu Haizhong had a flash of inspiration and felt that he was being targeted.

So he slammed the lunch box onto the windowsill, pointed at the kitchen helper and cursed, "Did you do this on purpose? I don't believe you didn't reserve food. Did you wait until we left before you took it out and ate it yourself?"

This was indeed intentional. Everyone who lined up in front of Liu Haizhong today got a lot more food than usual, so when it came to Liu Haizhong, there was naturally no more food.

But even if it was intentional, no one can say anything. After all, there is no specific standard for this quantity, and it is normal to have a little more or a little less.

This kitchen helper is also a young man. He has always dreamed of becoming He Daqing's apprentice and learning real cooking skills. Now that he has met his master's enemy, there is no need for him to be polite.

He swung the long-handled iron spoon in his hand and smashed it towards Liu Haizhong's head. If it hit Liu Haizhong, his head would be broken and bleeding.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong was so scared that he sat down on the ground. Fortunately, the window sill in front of him blocked the iron spoon that was hitting him.

Liu Haizhong was almost scared to death. Are young people nowadays so violent?
