Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

He Daqing doesn't pay much attention to the matters concerning the Siheyuan now.

As long as they don't provoke me, they can make as much noise as they want.

It's all dog-eat-dog. He enjoys watching whoever gets pranked.

The next day, He Daqing arrived at the factory early.

Starting today, he will start to tidy up the kitchens.

He Daqing’s creed is, either don’t do it, or do it well.

It doesn’t matter if you are a little tired or busy now. As long as everything is on the right track, you can relax.

Holding a notebook, He Daqing first came to a cafeteria.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw the kitchen helpers and handymen busy washing vegetables and kneading dough to prepare lunch.

Several chefs gathered there to smoke, drink tea and chat.

The entire kitchen was in a mess, and some dishes were even thrown on the ground.

Seeing this, He Daqing couldn't help but frown.

A sharp-eyed handyman saw He Daqing and immediately put down his work.

"Director He, you're here? Please come in!"

He Daqing nodded at him.

The young man's voice immediately made everyone inside see He Daqing.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted He Daqing one by one. After all, he was the new director who had just taken office. He was also their immediate superior. Who wouldn't want to leave a good impression in front of him?

"Hello, Director He!"

"Director He, you're here!"

"Welcome Director He to our cafeteria."

I have to say that although the kitchen is a bit messy, the atmosphere in the cafeteria is relatively good. Everyone is quite friendly.

He Daqing also smiled and nodded in response to everyone.

At this time, Zhang Tieshao, the squad leader of the cafeteria, also came over.

He smiled and said to He Daqing, "Director He, I didn't expect you to come so early. Please come in."

After that, he shouted to the others, "We all welcome Director He to come to our canteen to inspect our work. Everyone applaud and welcome him!"

Suddenly, everyone in the cafeteria applauded enthusiastically.

He Daqing was also impressed by Zhang Tieshao.

If you start with this, even if you really have any opinions, you will feel embarrassed to say them out loud.

"Okay, don't be so polite. We're family from now on, and I'll come visit you when I have time."

"Team Leader Zhang, please ask everyone to stop what they are doing for a moment. I have something to say to you all."

Zhang Tieshao immediately said, "Okay, Director He, please wait a moment. I'll gather everyone."

Here, Zhang Tiezhu organized everyone to pack up and gather.

He Daqing continued to walk around the kitchen and the front restaurant, writing down some questions in his notebook.

Soon, everyone lined up in the restaurant in front, waiting for He Daqing to speak.

Zhang Tiezhu is worthy of being a military veteran. He arranged everyone in the kitchen in an orderly manner, just like a military parade.

Seeing He Daqing coming over, Zhang Tieshao immediately took the lead in applauding, making the scene even more lively.

He Daqing pressed down with his hand and said, "Comrades, I am very happy to see you all so enthusiastic."

"I came here today just to tell you a few things. As you all know, the factory asked me to come here mainly to improve everyone's cooking skills so that all employees in the factory can eat delicious meals."

"So I decided that while improving everyone's cooking skills, I would take in a few apprentices in each cafeteria, depending on the situation."

"My requirements for accepting apprentices are very simple, no matter if they are male or female, or how old they are. It doesn't matter whether they have previous foundation or not."

"I only value one thing, that is, hard work, the ability to endure hardships and be obedient. Even if you don't have any talent, as long as you study hard and practice hard, I believe you will achieve success."

"I will not accept an apprentice this time like others do. I will pass on everything I have learned throughout my life to him. This is to promote our Chinese cuisine."

He Daqing's words made the twenty or thirty people present excited.

People's ideas and concepts have not changed yet. Many people still have old traditional ideas.

You have to do odd jobs for three years, study for three years, and then work hard for your master for three years. Only then will your master consider whether to let you become a disciple.

During this period, some masters will hold back and not teach their apprentices many core techniques.

Now He Daqing has directly promised them that they can be accepted as disciples if they perform well. Who wouldn’t want to be chosen?

Zhang Tieshao was the most excited. He had long wanted to find a master to learn the craft from. However, others either disliked his age or he had no connections and could not find a way.

Now that He Daqing has the intention to accept a disciple, Zhang Tieshao is the one most eager to be chosen.

Although he is already in his thirties, as a chef, if he masters the skills, he will be in great demand for life.

"Director He, don't worry, we will definitely follow your arrangements and prepare meals for everyone so that the employees in the factory can eat well."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Very good, since everyone has the idea of ​​progress, it means that my decision was not in vain."

"Now let me tell you my requirements. The first point is also the most important one. That is hygiene."

"As we all know, we must pay attention to the hygiene of everything we eat. When I say hygiene, I mean not only the hygiene of food, but also personal hygiene, kitchen hygiene, environmental hygiene, and the hygiene of tableware and kitchen utensils."

"I hope that we chefs can dress neatly and cleanly every day. This way, people can eat the food we cook with peace of mind. This is the most basic requirement for a chef."

"There is also the issue of kitchen hygiene. You can take a look at our current kitchen. It is a mess, with ingredients placed randomly, and a thick layer of grease on the floor. These places will attract flies in the summer. Can we cook good meals in such an environment?"

"There are also kitchen utensils and tableware. We use these things every day. They should be cleaned carefully after use. Go back and take a look at the tableware in our kitchen. Some of them are almost patinated. Can these things be used to make hygienic meals?"

He Daqing's words made everyone bow their heads. They all understood these things. But as time went by, no one paid much attention to them. As a result, they became more and more casual.

He Daqing continued, "I hope you can spare some time every day to do a good job of hygiene."

"Captain Zhang, I hope you can make a specific plan for this. There should be clear regulations on who is responsible for which area. If something is not handled properly, I will hold them responsible."

"If he fails to handle the problem several times in a row, then if he is a chef, I will let him do odd jobs. If he is an odd job, then I will consider changing him to another position. There are many people queuing up to come in in the kitchen. Since you are unwilling to follow the rules, I will change people."

He Daqing's tough attitude made everyone take it seriously.

In the past, Director Huang basically let them do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't delay the meals of the factory workers.

Now, Director He is serious.

As squad leader, Zhang Tieshao was not surprised at all by what He Daqing said. He wanted to learn cooking, so he had some knowledge of these things.

He knew that what He Daqing proposed was only the most basic requirement. If it were some serious old masters, the requirements would be much stricter than this.

So he immediately took the lead and said, "Director He, please rest assured that I will definitely take care of the hygiene of the kitchen. Today I will arrange for everyone to clean thoroughly and divide the areas. You can come and check it tomorrow."

The military style is fully reflected in Zhang Tieshao.

He Daqing really liked this attitude of executing immediately without delay.

"Okay, then I'll see how you perform. If you perform well, I'll give priority to selecting an apprentice from your cafeteria."

With He Daqing's promise, the people in the cafeteria immediately became motivated. Everyone wanted to perform well.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, He Daqing continued, "You guys take care of the hygiene these few days. I'll make arrangements here and come to teach you some basic cooking skills. You can all learn by then."

After giving everyone a little sweet treat again, He Daqing left the cafeteria to the farewell of more than 30 people.

With a good start, He Daqing felt that this matter was not so difficult.

So he came to the second canteen with full confidence.

Since the second canteen is managed by the silly guy Shazhu, the atmosphere of the whole canteen is much worse than that of the first canteen.

He Daqing could only continue to organize everyone and repeat what he had said in the cafeteria.

When they heard that they could become apprentices and learn skills, the people in the second cafeteria were full of enthusiasm.

Seeing Sha Zhu's indifferent look, He Daqing said angrily, "You guys should work hard and improve your cooking skills. If anyone performs well during this period, even if his cooking skills are not very good, I will promote him to be the monitor."

"I think your current monitor's management ability needs to be improved. If any of you performs well, it is not impossible for him to replace the current monitor."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu was the first one to disagree.

"Dad, I..."

"Call me Director He! Who is your dad? This is a workplace, not a home!"

When He Daqing heard that Sha Zhu even accused his own father, he was so angry that he really wanted to give him a good beating.

Don't you see what kind of scene this is? You're still calling me dad! Calling me grandpa won't work!

Sha Zhu was frightened by He Daqing's sharp eyes and dared not speak anymore. He also kept what he wanted to say in his stomach. If he said it out loud, he would probably be punished again.

Seeing that Sha Zhu stopped talking, He Daqing continued to talk about hygiene.

This time He Daqing didn't give Sha Zhu any face. Sha Zhu had to take the lead in cleaning, and he had to clean it thoroughly. Otherwise, Sha Zhu's squad leader would be fired.

In order to save face and avoid being punished by He Daqing, Sha Zhu had no choice but to accept it.

After cleaning up the second canteen, He Daqing went to the third canteen without stopping.

This canteen is also the one with the most problems at present.
