Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The sunlight shines through the colored glass and falls into the restaurant in patches, making the entire space colorful.

Bright red banners have been hung on the walls, exuding an atmosphere of festivity and joy.

Everyone was busy arranging tables and chairs, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time, and the whole restaurant was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Among these figures, in addition to the office staff, there are also some young faces, who are student representatives from various colleges in Yebao.

The participants this time were mainly students and comrades who were studying in the factory. They felt it was not appropriate to ask for leave on purpose, so they only sent a few representatives.

We usually live a frugal life, and every dinner party is a way to improve everyone's life.

In order to save money and devote more time to study, most of them declined the invitation and only sent these representatives to participate.

Even so, the number of these representatives is less than one-tenth of the total number of people in Yebao.

The student representatives, who were busy with their work, were also aroused by the words of the clerks they had dealt with before.

They were looking forward to the upcoming dinner and wanted to taste the cooking skills of the chef that the waiter had mentioned.

The chef He Yuzhu, whom they were talking about, was now standing at the back door of the office, looking towards the distant intersection, as if waiting for something.

He Yuzhu raised his wrist and checked the time. It was almost the agreed time.

Not long after, a truck appeared at the intersection and drove towards this side.

He Yuzhu looked towards the driver's seat with sharp eyes, but it was Oleg unexpectedly. It was confirmed that the ingredients had arrived, and they were all loaded in a truck, so it seemed like there were a lot of things.

He quickly turned around, pointed at the truck, and looked at the cook standing beside him: "Comrade, the food will be here soon. I think there is a lot. Go and call a few more people over."

The cook looked in the direction of his finger and saw the truck getting closer. A look of surprise appeared on his face and he immediately agreed.

"Okay, okay! Director He, you go right away." Then he turned and ran inside, shouting as he walked.

He Yuzhu pushed the truck towards the side of the road, and it stopped steadily in front of the back door, raising a light dust.

The roar of the engine stopped, and the sound of a door opening was heard. Oleg stood up from the driver's seat with a smile on his face, and got out of the car holding the armrest.

"He, all the ingredients you want are here!"

As he said this, he walked up to He Yuzhu and extended his hand enthusiastically.

This time the food delivery was secured by Oleg, who He Yuzhu mentioned to Vasily last time.

Vasily took this opportunity to directly promote Oleg to a higher rank.

Oleg had already worked for enough years, but his position was not technical and he had no outstanding performance, so he had to rely on seniority to gain experience.

Now with Vasily's greeting, the promotion notice will be issued next month.

He Yuzhu certainly didn't know what had happened in the past few days, but he just felt that Oleg was more enthusiastic about him.

He had no interest in getting to the bottom of things, and being enthusiastic did him no harm.

"Oleg, why are you here as a delivery driver today?"

Oleg loosened his hand, took out a bag of special snacks from the bag and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"He, I'm just delivering something to you. It's just driving a car, it's not a hard job."

He Yuzhu took the paper package, opened it and looked at it, then glanced at Oleg with a slightly surprised look.

This was the only snack he praised more than anything when he went out while living in the steel plant office.

I didn’t expect Oleg to have written this down. It seemed like he had specially purchased this fresh snack.

He pinched a piece with his fingers and put it in his mouth, put the rest in his bag, and patted Oleg's arm.

"Oleg, you are so thoughtful! Next time I will cook for you and invite you to taste my cooking skills."

Oleg looked at the expression on He Yuzhu's face and became more enthusiastic.

Although he didn't know that He Yuzhu was an extraordinary culinary artist, he just felt that by inviting him to have dinner together, the relationship between them would become closer.

He knew in his heart that his sudden promotion this time must be related to He Yuzhui in front of him.

"Ho, it's such an honor!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, heard footsteps behind him, and didn't say anything else.

"Oleg, that's enough! Let's unload the things from the car first."

Oleg leaned sideways, glanced at the figure walking out of the back door, nodded to He Yuzhu, then turned and walked towards the truck.

He climbed onto the truck bed nimbly and began to bend down to carry the food.

He Yuzhu led the others to the rear of the car, took the heavy food packages from Oleg, and everyone worked together to move them to the kitchen.

There is strength in numbers. Soon, all the food in the truck bed was moved away.

He Yuzhu patted the dust off his hands, then patted his body, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Seeing the last package of food being taken away, He Yuzhu turned his gaze to Oleg in the truck and waved.

"Oleg, do you want to come in with me?"

Oleg jumped out of the car and stood in front of He Yuzhu.

Hearing his invitation, he glanced at the back door of the office, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head to refuse.

"He, I won't go in today. Let's get together next time."

He Yuzhu then realized that Oleg was indeed not suitable to go in, as anything wrong could easily cause disputes.

"Okay! Let's contact each other again. I still owe you a meal. Thank you for your help today."

As he said this, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to Oleg, and signaled him to take it with his eyes.

Oleg glanced at the cigarette box and saw that it was the same brand as last time, so he took it without hesitation.

"He, then I'll take it. You go ahead and do your work. I need to drive back to hand in the task."

This mission was not originally his, but Oleg paid special attention to it.

When he learned that food was being delivered today, he took some effort to exchange it with others in order to get closer to He Yuzhu.

Now that things have been done and he has received an invitation from He Yuzhu, his goal has been achieved.

We have not been together for a long time, and this is all we can achieve. It would be impossible to expect more.

He planned to go back quickly to complete the task to avoid any further complications.

The two waved goodbye in front of the car door. He Yuzhu watched the truck go away until it disappeared from his sight, then he turned and walked into the yard.

The yard was bustling with activity. Under the direction of the cook, everyone was busy washing the ingredients.

The amount of food shipped this time was much larger than expected, and the quality was also excellent.

The cook noticed that He Yuzhu was closing the door, and hurriedly turned around and walked quickly towards He Yuzhu.

"Director He, Director He!"

He Yuzhu closed the back door and heard a shout. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the cook coming towards him.

"Comrade, what happened?"

The cook walked to a place not far in front of He Yuzhu and stood there, shaking his head: "Director He, nothing happened.

There are just too many ingredients this time, and we won’t need so much for this banquet. Can we keep the remaining ingredients for now?”

After hearing this, He Yuzhu looked at the pile of unopened bags on one side of the yard. These should be the leftover ingredients he mentioned.

Considering that the ingredients this time were not purchased normally, keeping them is not a good idea.

He quickly made up his mind and waved his hand decisively to refuse.

"Comrade, I will go to the leader for this matter. You should organize everyone to continue the cleansing. Thank you for your hard work, comrades."

Seeing that He Yuzhu took on the task, the cook didn't think any more and nodded in agreement.

"That's fine. It's not hard for everyone. We are all very motivated. We also have to thank Director He for finding so many meat and vegetables to improve the food for everyone!"
