Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The sun is at its zenith, and the sunshine is shining, dispelling the severe cold of winter and bringing a long-lost warmth.

Walking in the warm sunshine, He Yuzhu's heart was filled with memories of the past, and he suggested going to the old canteen first to take a look.

The old cafeteria stone kiln has now been converted into a place for baking bread as a weekly benefit for employees.

Under the leadership of Lu Qiufu, the two came to the newly built canteen, which was mainly used for reception.

After a round of walking, there were no major problems, and He Yuzhu couldn't help but nod in praise.

The layout of the kitchen has obviously been designed to be both efficient and practical, which is a world of difference compared to the simple facilities built before.

"Brother, how is it? Mine is not bad, right?" Lu Qiufu pointed proudly at the kitchen of the new canteen, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Seeing Lu Qifu's proud face, He Yuzhu couldn't bear to spoil his fun, so he smiled and replied, "Brother, I can see that you put a lot of thought into it."

Lu Qifu raised his eyebrows, his smile faded a little, and he said seriously: "Brother, don't try to play tricks on me. If there is anything between us, we can just talk about it directly."

Seeing his serious expression, He Yuzhu was no longer polite and directly stated the regulations he had implemented in the department's kitchen.

"Brother, there is already no problem with the facilities. These are just icing on the cake."

These regulations and rules are not confidential. He Yuzhu has included them in the rectification plans of several factories he has visited before.

At least before He Yuzhu left, a notice was posted in the kitchen of every canteen.

As for whether he can persist, that is not He Yuzhu's concern.

He only stayed in each factory for a few days, so whether the rules pushed by an outsider like him could be maintained depended on the determination of the supervisor.

As Shijingshan was a pioneer in the independent hospitality system, Lu Qiufu personally supervised the construction of the canteen kitchen, so naturally there would be no problems with the facilities.

He Yuzhu's suggestion was indeed, as he said, the icing on the cake.

Just based on their friendship, Lu Qiufu will definitely take these things to heart and be able to carry them out.

Lu Qifu stroked his chin, carefully considering each rule, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these regulations had great potential, and even other aspects of logistics could learn from them.

After figuring this out, he was delighted and clapped his hands: "Great! Brother, you are right! Don't worry, I promise to do as you say."

He Yuzhu saw that he suddenly understood something, and realized that his thoughts were spreading along the lines, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha! Brother, I hope you don't mind me talking too much."

Lu Qifu glared at him and punched He Yuzhu in a feigned anger: "Hey! Brother, what are you saying? Are we still so distant with each other?"

He Yuzhu bowed and smiled apologetically: "Okay, I said the wrong thing today, I will punish you with three glasses of wine later!"

Lu Qifu's smile reappeared on his face, and he patted He Yuzhu's shoulder with a big laugh: "That's fine, come on! Help me write down the few points I just mentioned, and follow them in the future."

Just as the two were about to turn around and go back to the office, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard.

A kitchen helper wearing a towel came running over and said breathlessly, "Director, the banquet is about to begin. Secretary Feng asked me to come and see you."

Hearing this, Lu Qiufu raised his wrist and saw that the time was almost up.

He slapped his forehead and laughed heartily: "Brother, we were so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot the time."

He smiled and waved his hands: "Isn't this just right? After you've had enough, it won't be too late to do anything."

"Babababa"

A loud horn sounded, breaking the tranquility of the road. The jeep sped along the wide road like a wild horse.

Lu Qiufu's face flushed slightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he looked forward through the car window.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and couldn't help laughing happily while sitting in the driver's seat.

The hearty laughter drifted in the air along with the wind whistling past the car window.

"Haha! That's so cool! Zhuzi, how did you get this car?"

The domestic automobile industry is almost non-existent nowadays. Apart from the captured cars, both new and old, the rest were purchased with precious foreign exchange.

On some important occasions, cars have become an indispensable means of transportation.

Furthermore, domestic fuel resources are scarce, and gasoline is an even more scarce commodity, which is allocated to various units according to plan.

He was very surprised that He Yuzhu was able to get a jeep, even though it was a little old, but he could allocate gasoline and run back and forth.

He Yuzhu stepped forward, leaned back on the chair, and responded loudly: "Brother, let's talk about it when we get there. The cold wind is blowing into my mouth."

Hearing this, Lu Qifu slowed down the car and shouted, "Okay, let's talk about it later."

The jeep's engine roared as it sped forward across a snowy field.

Hearing the noise of a car, the gate of the farm was opened and Lu Qiufu drove the jeep slowly in.

The engine was turned off, the doors on both sides opened, and two people got out of the car.

Lu Qifu called out, "Zhu Zi, come here!"

He Yuzhu walked around the front of the car and came to him, looking sideways at the venue in front of him: "Brother, this scale doesn't look big!"

Lu Qiufu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"Brother, this is for the kitchen to entertain guests. The milk produced is usually distributed to the factory hospital and nursery."

The former suburban dairy farms were consolidated and merged into several state-owned farms.

The farm in front of us only exists because it is registered under the name of the steel plant.

Because Lu Qiufu acted early, he was able to get cows from a private dairy farm and slowly raise them.

This small dairy farm supplied hospitals and nurseries, which made his reputation soar.

After all, you don’t have to drink milk on a regular basis, but every family has a baby, and they will definitely remember Lu Qiufu’s kindness.

At this time, the person in charge of the farm hurried over and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Boss, why are you here today? You are not prepared at all."

As he spoke, he glanced at the unfamiliar He Yuzhu and the conspicuous jeep.

Lu Qifu smiled and waved his hand: "You go and do your work! I'll be here to take care of it."

Seeing Lu Qifu's serious expression, the director hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Leader, if you need anything, just let me know."

He Yuzhu had sharp eyes and saw some details from the farm manager: "Is this comrade a good breeder?"

Lu Qifu laughed and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and crushed it: "Your eyes are still so sharp. Yes, this place depends on him for its maintenance."

He Yuzhu didn't care about his compliment, nodded slightly, and changed the subject: "Brother, what is the reason why the dairy farm can't be expanded?"

Lu Qiufu didn’t quite understand why the scale had to be expanded again, so he suppressed his doubts for the time being.

"First, calves are difficult to handle and have a long growth cycle. Second, feeding them consumes a lot of energy, so we usually have to rely on free-range grazing to reduce some of the consumption."

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone planting on the slope on the way here?"

Lu Qifu thought about it and shook his head: "I have never seen crops being grown. In spring and summer, people will go there to cut grass."

"Brother, do you know the technology of silage?"
