Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

The next day, when He Yuzhu was leaving in the morning, Jiang Feng stuffed the cigarette and alcohol tickets into He Yuzhu's hands and asked him to come back and buy them when he had time. He also took out a piece of meat, which weighed almost three pounds, and said that he had queued up in the morning to buy it, and had waited for more than half an hour. He Yuzhu took the meat with him when he left. Now that the weather is a little cooler, it is still not easy to store meat, so he has to deliver it in the morning.

He Yuzhu got on his bike and hurried to his master's house. After delivering the things, he still had to go to work. Sparks and lightning flew along the way, and the chain of He Yuzhu's bike was smoking.

When they arrived at the master's house, he was still having breakfast at home when He Yuzhu hurried in: "Master, I'm here to deliver something."

The master's wife saw He Yuzhu coming in with a bag in his hand. The master's wife stood up and said, "Zhuzi, what's the matter with you coming here so early? What's in your hand?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I have something to say. It's a great thing. My blind date has been arranged. I asked Master to help me propose marriage. I brought some meat to you two elders. I still have to go to work. I will come back to tell you in detail in the evening."

After saying that, He Yuzhu dropped the bag, said "I'm leaving", hurried out of the yard, got on his bike and went to the steel rolling mill.

Li Cuifang chased after him for a few steps and called out a few times, "Zhuzi, Zhuzi." He Yuzhu didn't respond either. He just waved his hand and ran away.

Li Cuifang entered the room, picked up the bag, opened it and looked at it, then said to Guo Mingsheng, "Look at this pillar, it's so rough, and he didn't explain clearly. The blind date was successful, but he didn't even tell me which family the girl was from. It really makes me anxious. Old Guo, look at this, this is such a big piece of meat, and it's all fat."

Guo Mingsheng stood up and took a look. "Well, keep it for you. Refine the oil at noon and cook the meat tonight. Didn't Zhuzi just say that we can talk about it in the evening? Why are you in such a hurry? It's already been said."

After hearing what the head of the household said, Li Cuifang took the meat to the kitchen, saying, "You are not in a hurry. I have already told you that Zhuzi is old enough to find a wife for him, but you always say that there is no hurry. A man should focus on his career. Now is the time for him to learn a skill. Look, we don't even know whose family the girl is from, and we don't know if we can get along with each other in the future. I treat Zhuzi as my old son, and you just sit there and do nothing about it."

"Who said I don't care? I just want him to calm down and practice his craft. Zhuzi has sent many gifts to the house during the holidays in recent years. This kid is a loyal and honest man. The wife he likes won't be bad. He came to me to propose marriage. I will take a good look at her then."

"Okay, Zhuzi is obedient and remembers you, an old man, and is showing off here. Have you finished eating? If you're done, don't go to work. I'm going to clean up." Li Cuifang said as she moved her hands. In a few seconds, she cleared the pickles and porridge on the table. Guo Mingsheng was still holding a steamed bun made of two pieces of flour in his hand and holding chopsticks.

Seeing Li Cuifang like this, Guo Mingsheng didn't dare to say anything more. He put down his chopsticks, picked up the water cup, ate the steamed bun, stood up, patted his clothes, picked up the lunch box and staggered towards Fengze Garden. When he arrived at Fengze Garden, several apprentices came up and served Master Guo comfortably. Guo Mingsheng was happy and told him what happened in the morning. Several fellow apprentices were also happy. He Yuzhu was the only apprentice of Guo Mingsheng who was not married, and they all said that they would arrange a wedding properly.

Guo Mingsheng spoke up: "Zhang Wei, you are the eldest brother. On the day of Zhuzi's wedding, you will be the chef, and you brothers will help the eldest brother. Anyway, I will be the host when I propose marriage. If the guest is not satisfied, it will be a disgrace to me. Just wait and see how I deal with you when I come back."

Zhang Wei immediately nodded and agreed, saying, "Don't worry, Master. Just look at us brothers and make sure everything is arranged properly for you, Junior Brother."

Guo Mingsheng nodded and said, "Go and get busy. I've already made an appointment with Zhuzi tonight and I will definitely invite you brothers to come."

Several people quickly agreed and went back to their own kitchens. Now that Fengze Garden has been merged into a joint venture between the public and private sectors, fortunately they met a public manager who was sensible and only took care of the front and never interfered with the affairs of the kitchen. However, the business is much worse than before. In order to develop, the country still uses most of the materials to support some confidential industries. Although the market is still okay now, it is still much worse than in the past few years. Many things cannot be bought with money. They are all rationed and the monthly supplies are fixed.

Although Guo Mingsheng is now the head chef, he still has a clear idea of ​​the business ahead. In the past, when it was time for dinner, the second and third kitchens would be busy all the time, and sometimes people would specifically ask Master Guo to cook. Now the apprentices still have things to do. Master Guo hasn't had anyone ask him to cook for more than half a month. Guo Mingsheng is confident that his skills are fine, but the problem is with supplies. Many dishes are sold out. If you don't have the ingredients when people order dishes, how can you do business?

Looking at the busy disciples, Guo Mingsheng had to consider their livelihood. After thinking about it, it could only fall on He Yuzhu. Anyway, the inheritance of this school would be passed on to him in the future, so it was his responsibility to find a way out for his brothers.

However, after sitting for a while, Guo Mingsheng suddenly stood up from the recliner: "Xiao Si, Xiao Si, come here, I almost forgot something, ride your bike to Uncle Shi's place and tell him to come to my house for dinner tonight, and ask him and his wife to come along."

Xiao Si responded, went out and told Manager Gong Fang, then rode his bike away. Guo Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not forget. Zhuzi forgot, and I have to help him find out the omissions and fill in the gaps. When Junior Brother Ming'er finds out, he will be scolded again. Guo Mingsheng thought to himself, "See, these young people are still no good. They are too clumsy in doing things. I have to help them from behind." Thinking of this, Guo Mingsheng smiled proudly.

At noon, when it was almost time to get off work, He Yuzhu went to the canteen director. After He Daqing left, the steel mill promoted someone from the original canteen to be the canteen director. However, during the public-private partnership, the situation was not clear and the director was demoted. The current director was appointed by Director Yang. When he saw He Yuzhu knocking on the door and coming in, he quickly stood up, pulled He Yuzhu to sit on the chair, and said, "Master He, what's the matter with you at this time?"

"Director Wang, I have something personal to trouble you with. I have had some family matters these days. The lunch canteen work is already done, and I have also told the people below. I want to leave early and go out to buy some things."

Director Wang is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a kind face and smiles whenever he talks to anyone. He has small eyes and a slightly red nose. He has heard that Chef He is on a blind date, so he smiled and said, "If there is anything, if it's not a big deal, just arrange for the kitchen staff to help."

He Yuzhu is not the person he appears to be in movies and TV dramas. After hearing what the director said, he quickly took out a cigarette and handed one to Director Wang: "That won't do. This is my personal matter. I can't trouble others and delay their work."

After finishing his words, He Yuzhu looked at Director Wang sitting there, with an unlit cigarette and a smile on his face. He blushed and said, "Director, please don't tease me. I'll be honest. I've recently found a partner and it's almost time. As you know, my father is not in Beijing, so I can only ask my master to propose marriage. But I have to bring some things with me. I'm thinking of buying some when I have time. The department store will be closed after get off work this afternoon."

Director Wang couldn't help laughing when he heard what He Yuzhu said: "I'm just teasing you. I heard that your Second Canteen is buzzing with rumors. Let's see when you will tell the truth. Go ahead, and you have to treat me to a wedding drink when the time comes."

As he spoke, Director Wang took out two tickets from the drawer and handed them over: "It's just a small gift, go quickly."

He Yuzhu readily agreed. He took the tickets and saw one cigarette ticket and one wine ticket. He also said gratefully, "Oh, Director, thank you. I was worried about this these days. I was afraid that there would not be enough cigarettes and wine at the banquet. Thank you."

"Go ahead and arrange your work. The factory manager knows about your situation. Don't let personal matters interfere with official business. Otherwise, the factory manager won't be able to help you."

"Hey, don't worry, I'm going to go shopping first, and then I'll come back to report to the factory manager."

Director Wang waved his hand, and He Yuzhu stepped out, closed the door, went downstairs to the cafeteria, checked his work again, and then took his lunch box and pushed his bicycle out of the factory.

When I arrived at the security department, several familiar people gathered around me and said, "Hey, isn't this Chef He? You haven't finished get off work yet at this hour. Are you leaving early?"

When He Yuzhu saw these people, he quickly begged for mercy: "Brothers, please stop kidding. I have something to do. I really have something to do. When it's over, I'll make a table in the cafeteria and invite you guys to come over for a drink."

After saying that, he quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over: "Brothers, share it. If there is something wrong, I have already told the director. I will leave first."

After saying that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and ran out of the factory. There was a burst of laughter from behind, and there were also sounds of people scrambling for something. A middle-aged man walked out of the security department, looked at these people, and immediately fell silent: "What are you making a fuss about? We are still at work. If the factory leaders see us, I will no longer be able to be the team leader."

After hearing the team leader's words, several people became bolder. Li Weiguo, who had just spoken, also came up to the team leader and told him what had just happened. He handed him a cigarette. The team leader lit up the cigarette and said, "You guys, stop making trouble during working hours. Chef He is usually very good to our security department. You still stop him when he has something to do. Are you human? Go and stand guard properly. Run three kilometers tomorrow morning before coming back for duty."

The people below wailed when they heard this, but they still shouted back, "Yes."

After the team leader finished speaking, he went in. Li Weiguo stretched out his hand and called a few brothers over: "Alright, alright, three kilometers is not a big deal. We are all from the army, why are we afraid of this?"

When they heard the word "fear", they were unhappy and started arguing. They thought that I was the physical champion of XX Company in the past. As they talked, they went off the topic. Li Weiguo stretched out his hand and pointed inside, and then they shut up and went to work.
