Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

On the backyard porch, the cold wind gently brushed across my cheeks, bringing bursts of biting chill.

Liu Zixing rubbed his cheeks unconsciously to get rid of the coldness on his face, then turned around and looked at He Yuzhu beside him with a smile.

"Zhu Zi, why are you looking for me today? Is there something good?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and did not answer immediately. He took out a cigarette box from his pocket, popped out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Zixing.

Liu Zixing pursed his lips, reached out to take the cigarette, sniffed it gently under his nose, and then skillfully put the cigarette behind his ear.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu simply handed him the cigarette box in his hand and said bluntly: "Master Liu, I came here today to ask you to recommend a candidate for me.

The company's canteen kitchen is short of a chef team leader. I thought it would be better to keep the money within the family, so I thought one of our own could take over. "

Liu Zixing took the cigarette without hesitation. After hearing this, he immediately understood.

But there was a hint of doubt between his brows, and he asked tentatively: "Zhu Zi, what unit are you in?"

He Yuzhu quickly reported the name of his unit and waited for his answer.

When Liu Zixing heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He didn't expect that He Yuzhu had become a cadre now.

This surprise was fleeting, and was replaced by practical considerations in his mind, especially in terms of treatment.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He had been living in extreme poverty for the past two years and could only think about money.

"Zhu Zi, I know you won't cheat me. This job does sound good. But I want to ask about the salary..."

After saying this, he rubbed his hands awkwardly.

He Yuzhu didn't care. Given his family's situation, he would at least be realistic and not let his wife and children go hungry.

He smiled and waved his hand: "Master Liu, don't worry. I know your skills, you are a great chef.

I will definitely try my best to get you a salary of 70 yuan, and the minimum will not be less than it is now.

Besides, I have a night shift every month, which is subsidized. Plus the allowance for the squad leader, I have no problem working in my early 80s.

Weekends are basically a time for rest, and you can spend more time with your children at home.”

Liu Zixing thought that this salary was almost 20 yuan more than the current one, which was quite a lot, not to mention that he could have four days off every month.

Working in a restaurant, holidays are very busy and I don't have much time to spend with my family.

"Okay, Zhuzi, since you said so, there is no reason for me to refuse. Besides, the conditions are so good."

He Yuzhu heard this and stretched out his hand: "Okay, then it's settled, Master has agreed.

Please wait here with peace of mind. I will go through the formalities as soon as possible and send you the letter of introduction when the time comes."

Liu Zixing held his hands tightly, knowing that this was the care given to him by their master and disciple, and he felt very grateful.

He Yuzhu felt Liu Zixing's excitement and gently patted the back of his hand to comfort him.

"Master Liu, don't worry when you get to the company. The top leader is from Shu. I will let you show your skills if I have the chance, so that you can gain a firm foothold in the new company."

When Liu Zixing heard his arrangements, he felt even more grateful.

"Haha! Even though my cooking skills are not as good as yours, at least I can still show it off."

Seeing his expression, He Yuzhu felt relieved and smiled heartily: "I am naturally confident in your craftsmanship."

After saying that, he tightened his coat and said, "We have finished our business, let's go back to the kitchen to warm up!"

After Liu Zixing was excited, he felt the coldness seeping into his clothes. He rubbed his arms and walked into the kitchen side by side with He Yuzhu.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The sound of turning pages was particularly crisp in the small office.

He Yuzhu put down the pen in his hand, gently closed the pen cap, looked at the technical manual that was half completed, and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this mission can be completed ahead of schedule, but I don’t know when Commander Chen will return to Sijiu City.

He picked up the cup of warm tea on the table and took a sip. The warmth instantly spread from the tip of his tongue to the bottom of his heart, making him close his eyes comfortably.

It has been nearly half a month since I last went to Emei Restaurant.

Now, the vacant position of purchasing team leader in the cafeteria fell to Shi Sheng as expected.

He guessed that he had comrades on the farm outside the city, and the food needed for the canteen’s reception was not much, so it was really no problem for the farm.

In order to get the position of purchasing team leader, He Yuzhu went to the purchasing department, hoping to encounter some pretentious plot.

Unexpectedly, the head of the purchasing department invited him for tea very enthusiastically and agreed to his request without hesitation.

This sudden success made him feel a little disappointed. It turned out that the people in this agency were all shrewd people and no one wanted to make enemies easily.

The work of the kitchen chef team leader was also helped by Secretary Chen.

Last week, Secretary Chen came to the office specifically to inform He Yuzhu to visit Chief Fang's home this weekend.

He Yuzhu asked him to say hello and got the letter of introduction.

As long as Liu Zixing starts working next week, Mai Fu will no longer have to be the only one in the kitchen.

As for asking him to work overtime or cook in the cafeteria, that is impossible.

As the personnel matters within the unit were settled, the new director came to the kitchen, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then left.

Apart from knowing that his surname was Liao, He Yuzhu didn't care about his connections behind him. It was fine as long as everyone kept to themselves.

Just as He Yuzhu was immersed in his own thoughts, a sudden horn sound outside the window brought him back to reality.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the dial of his watch. It was already late.

He Yuzhu began to organize his desk in an orderly manner, putting the files back in their places one by one.

He put on the cloth bag, tightened the damper of the stove, and walked out of the office carrying the thermos and stove.

At this time, Liang Hongying was the only one in the outer office area, packing up and preparing to leave work.

He Yuzhu walked closer, put down the things in his hands, and said in a gentle tone: "Sister Liang, it's almost the weekend, where are you planning to go?"

Liang Hongying continued to tidy up her hands quickly and turned to look at He Yuzhu.

"Hey! Hey, the little brat at home has been clamoring to go to the skating rink, so let's go there on the weekend when we have time. What about you, Director?"

She had already learned from the gossip in finance and human resources that Secretary Chen had made a call and directly arranged for the chef team leader in the kitchen.

As for the confirmation of the purchasing team leader, it was not a surprise to her.

Maybe we can ask Secretary Chen for help, but that can't be explained by simply coming to cook.

He Yuzhu dusted off his hands and responded with a smile: "I'm a little busy on the weekend, so I can't go out to play."

Liang Hongying couldn't help but recall the scene of Secretary Chen coming to the office last week.

Then she thought of what He Yuzhu had said about cooking at home, and her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to find out more, but she quickly suppressed her curiosity.

It’s better not to ask too much about things like this.

She adjusted her mood, chatted and laughed with He Yuzhu, and the two walked out of the room side by side.
