Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

The old farmer took the money and counted it. He thought to himself that today, he had cleared out the remaining stock in the village. He said to Jiang Feng, "Comrade, there are not many goods left in the village. I don't know when the New Year will come. I will ask Sanzi to come again tomorrow night. Two kilograms of grain seeds are more than two yuan. Can I bring you some more?"

"Alright, then we'll do the transaction tomorrow night in that alley. It's settled."

"Well, I'll just go back and tell the three of you, don't worry, we'll leave first."

Jiang Feng agreed and took out a cigarette from his pocket, giving one to each of them. The old farmer took the cigarette and put it to his ear, nodded at Jiang Feng, said goodbye to the others and left without asking Jiang Feng what to do with the things. It was right for him to mind his own business.

Jiang Feng watched the few people disappear, then he touched everything one by one and put them into the space. Jiang Feng untied the ropes on the cows and rabbits' legs, and the rabbits ran away. The calf walked up to Jiang Feng and butted him with its head. Jiang Feng touched the calf's head, and the cow lowered its head and went to eat grass.

There were already flocks of ducks there. Today, Jiang Feng went there mainly to see if there were any other game. He bought ducks on a whim and thought about asking about grain seeds. But he got an unexpected surprise. Cows and rabbits are not easy to come across. As soon as he entered the space, Jiang Feng knew that there were one male and two female rabbits, and the cow was a bull. He would think of a way later.

Jiang Feng sensed the outside and then left the space. With a creaking sound under his feet, he walked towards the courtyard. When he returned to the house, Jiang Feng looked at the fire, poked it, put two pieces of coal in and sealed it, poured a teacup of hot water, and then entered the space. Jiang Feng moved his mind, and several trees that two or three people could hug flew up from inside. Soon they turned into pieces of wooden boards, surrounding an area of ​​about a hundred square meters. He threw a few rabbits in and started at three times the speed.

The chickens, ducks and fish inside are now growing at double the speed, they are growing too fast. Jiang Feng is thinking about how to deal with these things. These things are all self-raised, so the source cannot be explained. A small amount is fine, but if a large number appear in the market, the pigeon market will be shut down.

But there are too many chickens and ducks inside. They have been bred for many rounds and many batches have been killed. A special static space has been set up to keep them. The same goes for fish. Jiang Feng no longer goes fishing because he can't finish eating them. Why don't he go to the black market tomorrow? They won't care where you come from. Jiang Feng thought about it and decided to farm. Meat is a desire for the tongue, but grain is something that fills the stomach. In the next few years, life at home will be difficult. The neighbors are starving to death, but you are still eating meat every day at home. It would be strange if the jealous people don't report you.

Jiang Feng thought about next year's work, then about food at home, then about the iron he had to hand in. Where should he get it? Should he collect some scrap iron to keep at home? Then he thought about what to do with food. He had to hide some food and find a place to hide it. Seven or eight thoughts surged in his mind and he fell asleep in a daze.

When the alarm clock rang at dawn, Jiang Feng got up and sat for a while. He shook his head and then came to his senses. He put on his clothes first. As soon as he came out of the space, he felt cold everywhere. He poked the fire, went out to the toilet, and finished washing up. He Yuzhu from the Central Courtyard also called him to eat.

Jiang Feng took the things and went there. In the morning, he had steamed bread with egg soup. Today the factory would be closed, and tomorrow would be the last day of work. After eating, the two of them went to the factory. They were both fully armed, with their heads, faces and hands covered tightly. They had to ride their bikes slowly. After arriving at the factory and arranging the work, Jiang Feng sat in the workshop office and drank tea. Now he was no longer needed to watch outside, as Xiao Liu and Xiao Huang had been brought out, and they would be called if there were any problems.

Jiang Feng drank tea while looking at the manual and drawings of the machine in his hand, and wrote and drew with a pen. He put down what he was holding until Zhang Jiacheng came in and called him to collect his salary. The technical department came early, so there were not many people in line, and it was Jiang Feng's turn soon. Taking the envelope in his hand, Jiang Feng put it in his pocket and hurried back to the office. His current salary is a little higher than He Yuzhu's.

Seeing that it was almost time, they both walked towards the canteen. They ran into He Yuzhu who came to collect his salary. After saying hello, they went to the canteen to get their food. After getting their food, they took it back to the workshop. The factory radio also sounded, and it was time to get off work.

After He Yuzhu finished his meal and took care of the kitchen work, he guessed that his leader had also finished his meal, so he strolled to Director Wang's office, knocked on the door, and heard a voice from inside saying "Come in", so He Yuzhu pushed the door open and went in.

Director Wang was packing up his lunch box, having just finished eating. He Yuzhu came over and handed him a cigarette. Director Wang took it and put it on the table. He poured some water and washed the lunch box before sitting down and picking up the cigarette. He Yuzhu quickly stepped forward and struck a match to light it. Director Wang took a puff first and said to He Yuzhu, "Tell me what's the matter. You wouldn't come and sit here if you had nothing else."

He Yuzhu leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Director, I heard something and I want to ask you about it."

Director Wang nodded, and He Yuzhu continued, "Didn't the factory announce that they will expand their recruitment next year? I want to ask if there are any vacancies in the cafeteria."

"You are well-informed. Now everyone is eyeing the quota for the workshop. There are already thousands of people in the cafeteria. If we want to build a new one, we will probably need to hire more than 20 people. The details haven't been decided yet. Why, someone came to you for help?"

"No, who would come to find me? I'm just a cook. I go wherever the boss tells me to go. This is not the job of my senior brothers. They all work at Fengze Garden. The restaurant business is not very good now. Master has told me several times that the kitchen doesn't need so many people. Doesn't this mean there is no chance?"

When Director Wang heard that it was He Yuzhu's senior brother, he immediately sat up and asked, "How is your senior brother's skill? How does he compare to you? What level is he now?"

He Yuzhu saw that there was a way, and he went through it in his mind first: "I have a total of five senior brothers. The eldest senior brother is now level six, the second senior brother is level seven, and the rest are all level eight. Several of them are now doing the work of the second and third kitchens in Fengze Garden."

"This level is fine. The salary is about the same as in the factory, but a canteen doesn't need so many chefs with such a high level of qualifications."

"Director Wang, I don't have the ability to call everyone here. Fengze Garden also wants to keep people. From what my master said, two or three people should come out. Do you think you can arrange it?"

"That depends on their level. A cafeteria only needs one level eight person at most. If we recruit all of them, they won't be happy to have to cook in the same pot every day."

"Director, here's what I think. Normally, I'm the one who prepares the factory's banquets. Sometimes, when there are too many people, I'm too busy to handle it. I also have a family now. If something happens, it will delay the factory's work. I thought it would be good to have someone to share the burden. Isn't the factory going to expand its recruitment? There are no changes to the canteen's management?"

"You little brat, you were waiting here. You don't have the brains to do that. Who taught you that? Your cousin?"

He Yuzhu smiled and touched his head, then said to Director Wang, "Yes, I have been in the factory for four or five years. It's not because of the factory that my salary has never increased. Now I am married and have a child, and Yan Zi is not working. I thought that this time I had a chance, so I wanted to give it a try and see if I can make further progress."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Director Wang sat there and pondered. Director Wang has been in this position for three or four years now, and he will retire in another five or six years. In the past, the canteens under him were managed by squad leaders, and there was no deputy director. He had been thinking about whether he could move up this time. He would retire after a few years as the deputy director of the Logistics Department.

I also went to Director Yang privately to express my opinion, but Director Yang said that the former logistics director was lucky this time and was promoted to deputy director, but he will have to retire in a few years. This time, all the people under the logistics department cannot be moved, and someone has to be transferred over from above. There is no way to get a promotion without a job.

However, the issue of succession also needs to be considered. Director Wang looked up at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu is now much calmer.

Director Wang thought for a moment and said to He Yuzhu, "You are the best cook in the canteens. It's better to have good skills in this position, and you can manage people. When I came up, there was no one in the factory who could take my place. Your father was the first to hold this position. I can nominate you, but whether you can pass Director Yang's nomination depends on you."

"That's good, that's good, thank you, Director. You can just nominate me here. Don't worry, even if I get this position, I will still be your soldier. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken."

"Stop talking nonsense here, but you must remember that if Uncle Wang needs your help in the future, you must pay attention to me."

He Yuzhu knew that the other person must have a reason for doing this favor, so he became serious: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, you will still have the final say in this cafeteria from now on. Even if I come up, it will only be a sinecure. I will follow your instructions in everything."

Director Wang nodded with satisfaction. Not only He Yuzhu, but Director Yang also said this time that his cousin is quite extraordinary. He will be working in the workshop at the beginning of next year and will be appointed as deputy director. This is because he has been in the factory for too short a time, otherwise he would not be given a technical subsidy but an administrative level subsidy.

Jiang Feng had to be grateful for helping He Yuzhu this time. He would be more willing to talk to him in the future. After he finished talking about the matter, he gave him a few more instructions: "Don't talk nonsense outside. Don't sing it out before the matter is settled."

He Yuzhu handed over another cigarette, lit it for the director, and said, "That's for sure. You can't talk about things that didn't work out. If it doesn't work out, it will be embarrassing. I'll ask about the chef and report to you tomorrow."

"Well, if you have nothing to do, just go away. It's time to rest." Director Wang, with a cigarette in his mouth, started to chase people away.

"Okay, you should take a good rest." He Yuzhu was happy and said a long word. Director Wang glared at him and he rolled out in shame.
