Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Wisps of steam rose from the mouth of the teacup, and the elegant tea fragrance wafted away, quietly filling the entire room.

In the Logistics Department's office, He Yuzhu sat comfortably on a chair with a relaxed attitude.

Qian Duofa sat next to him, also looking relaxed and contented.

There was a cup of steaming fragrant tea on the tea table in front of them.

He Yuzhu smelled the fragrant tea aroma and discerned that the tea was indeed of high quality. The price matched the quality. In one word - expensive!

His eyes inadvertently swept across Qian Duofa's round face, and the rumors about Qian Duofa emerged in his mind.

I nodded secretly in my heart, this fat guy is a "good hand".

"Xiao He, I'm a few years older than you. You don't mind calling you that, right?" Qian Duofa put down the teapot in his hand and looked at He Yuzhu with a smile.

Hearing his voice, He Yuzhu's thoughts were pulled back to reality. He looked at Qian Duofa with a smile and said, "Director Qian, please do as you please."

Qian Duofa was very satisfied with his attitude. He nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that He Yuzhu should have tea.

He Yuzhu picked up the teacup, blew gently on his lips, took a small sip, closed his eyes and savored it carefully. After making sure that the temperature was right, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing He Yuzhu put down the teacup, Qian Duofa picked up the teapot and skillfully refilled his tea.

Seeing him like this, He Yuzhu had no choice but to bow and thank him: "Thank you, Director Qian."

Qian Duofa put down the teapot and looked at He Yuzhu with a smile: "Xiao He, what do you think of this tea?"

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, as if savoring the flavor of the tea, and then spoke slowly.

"The tea soup is as clear as a mirror, refreshing at first taste, and sweet aftertaste. It is truly top-grade."

Qian Duofa raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he laughed: "Xiao He, I didn't expect you to be interested in this!"

He Yuzhu was calm when he heard his praise and waved his hand: "Director, I don't know much about tea.

I just drink a lot, so I can tell the difference, but I can't compare to you!"

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this statement. The Chen family is a wealthy family in Suzhou, so it is no wonder that they have had contact with good tea.

Furthermore, He Yuzhu's medical skills and cooking skills both involve tea, but he chooses to be low-key and pretends to know a little about it.

Qian Duofa was very pleased with He Yuzhu's flattery. He smiled even more brightly, and the wrinkles on his face piled up like meat buns.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and sipped the tea happily.

The two of them sipped tea quietly, as if they had found a quiet place carved out from the mundane world.

After drinking three cups of tea and having Qian Duofa refill the tea, they were ready to start today's conversation and find out about He Yuzhu's background.

"Xiao He, you really showed off your cooking skills in the cafeteria today! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so superb. Which restaurant did you work for before?"

Ever since Qian Duofa knew that He Yuzhu was parachuted in from above, he didn't want to get involved in any more favors for the position of canteen director, so he didn't inquire about it in detail.

Just take this opportunity to ask directly, so that he can feel more confident.

Judging from what happened today, Xie Xingsong probably can't beat He Yuzhu.

Qian Duofa took the money himself, but gave him a chance and chose a "dead end", so he can't be blamed.

"I used to work at my master's Emei Restaurant, and by chance, I came here to be the canteen director."

He Yuzhu raised the corner of his mouth, but did not say the main point. He just mentioned Emei Restaurant and stated that his master was just a chef.

As for how Qian Duofa understood it, or if he had other ideas, that had nothing to do with He Yuzhu.

If he really goes to the trouble to find out He Yuzhu's background and wants to get close to Da Lei, then he's on his own.

One of Qian Duofa's hobbies is food. When he heard him mention Emei Restaurant, he had an idea in mind and then tried to test him.

"Wow! Wow! I didn't expect that he was Chef Wu's apprentice. What a waste of talent! But, I've been there quite often in the past few years, so how come I haven't heard of him?"

He Yuzhu glanced at Qian Duofa and replied calmly: "Maybe you are late. I just returned to Sijiu City recently."

Upon hearing this, Qian Duofa narrowed his eyes slightly and started to think in his mind. It seemed that something had happened during the time he was away.

It is not an ordinary situation for a chef from a restaurant to be transferred to the department and become the canteen director in the case of downsizing.

He did not doubt He Yuzhu's words. Lies would not be linked to things that were easy to verify. A check at the Emei Restaurant would reveal the truth.

Qian Duofa was indeed transferred from the north, and he has been here for less than three years.

"Haha, Xiao He, with you in charge of the cafeteria, we won't have to worry about hospitality in the future!"

He Yuzhu came here for another purpose. He didn't want to be responsible for the reception. How could he slack off in the future?

No, the question is how will we have the energy and time to write technical manuals in the future.

He quickly waved his hand to refuse: "Director Qian, you are flattering me! The chef squad leader in the cafeteria is skilled enough, I just saw some new tricks!"

Seeing that he refused, Qian Duofa showed confusion in his eyes. Isn't this an opportunity to show off?

How could He Yuzhu refuse? Of course, if things went well, his leadership also deserved credit.

Qian Duofa saw that He Yuzhu was determined and didn't seem to be faking it, so he was a little confused for a moment: "Xiao He, you..."

"Director, there's no need for me to work in front of the stove now, as it's so smoky. Besides, I shouldn't take away other people's opportunities for advancement."

He Yuzhu replied with a serious face, holding a teacup in his hand.

Qian Duofa was choked by these words and was speechless. There was nothing wrong with these words, but they were not very friendly to him.

There is a ready-made chef to order around. If he doesn't take advantage of him, wouldn't he be at a loss? This is not his style.

He hasn't found out He Yuzhu's background yet, so he can't force him to do anything for the time being. He can't lose the big picture for the small.

The office fell into silence for a moment. Qian Duofa was sipping tea, his mind racing, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

He put down his teacup and suggested quietly, "Then let's ensure today's pizza supply, is that okay? After all, everyone has tasted it, and it would be hard to explain if it's gone all of a sudden."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly. At that time, he was only thinking about solving the problem and did not consider this matter.

Although it is a piece of cake for him, wouldn’t it be nice to sit in the office by himself?

"Director, today is a special day. Many of you are eating here for the first time, so please come to the cafeteria to try something new.

This is expensive, so it's not easy to provide it every day. Is it okay for the cafeteria to provide it twice a week?"

Qian Duofa savored the taste of the pizza. The price was not a big deal for him, but ordinary workers had to support their families and would not buy it often.

He nodded in agreement, but since this was a highlight of his work, he should still strive for it.

"How about once every other day? You don't have to worry about supplies. I will fully support the cafeteria."

One more day a week doesn't matter, as long as you teach others to do it. But the key is to pull them along, otherwise it won't seem easy.

He Yuzhu frowned, pretending to be hesitant, and finally responded: "Director, since you said so, I can't refuse it anymore.

But I need a spot in the kitchen. I can get a chef to come over.”

Qian Duofa sensed something in this request and stared at He Yuzhu: "Xiao He, you want it now?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and denied it: "That's not the case. Just approve it when the time comes."

Qian Duofa had made up his mind, but since this would not be a loss for him and would also be beneficial to him, he nodded in agreement.
