Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Mei Xiu'e asked kindly, "So how does your partner treat you?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly and grinned, "She is devoted to me and wants to marry me right away!"

Lu Dahai warned in a deep voice, "Zhu Zi, don't be so cocky. Since others are good to you, you should also treat them well."

He Yuzhu restrained his expression and said seriously: "Master, don't worry, I will treat her well!"

"Master, Master's Wife, my father is missing. When I get married, I want to invite you two to be witnesses."

"no problem!"

The two elders agreed without hesitation.

After dinner, He Yuzhu and the two elders chatted about family matters for a while. When it was eleven o'clock, they said goodbye.

The next day.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the factory, he went straight to Li Huaide's office.

Li Huaide saw He Yuzhu and greeted him warmly: "Zhuzi, you are a rare guest, come and sit down."

Seeing that Li Huaide was the only one in the office, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Brother Li, I came to see you this time because I want to trouble you for something."

Li Huaide laughed and scolded: "I knew that you would never come to my temple for no reason. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help."

Li Huaide was more than happy to receive He Yuzhu's request for help.

He was just worrying about how to win over He Yuzhu, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him for help. As long as he helped the other party solve the problem, He Yuzhu would naturally be labeled by him.

"Brother Li, bright and clear!"

"Here's the thing. I have two junior fellow students who haven't found jobs. Our cafeteria happens to be short of staff now. I would like to recruit them to fill the vacancies. Do you think it's okay?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Li Huaide pondered for a moment, then asked, "How are your two junior brothers' cooking skills?"

He Yuzhu quickly responded: "Your cooking skills are very good. Although not as good as mine, it is definitely more than enough to stir-fry a big pot of food."

"Brother Li, let me tell you this, the cooking skills of my two junior brothers are definitely better than Sun Daqiang from the First Canteen. Except for me, no one in the entire steel mill can beat them in cooking."

Li Huaide continued to ask: "What level of cooks are your two junior brothers?"

"They haven't passed the exam yet, but with their cooking skills, they have at least reached the level of a level six cook." He Yuzhu said in a firm tone.

Li Huaide frowned and said, "Recruiting them is a small problem, but Zhuzi, you also know that the factory pays wages according to grades. Since they don't have the grade of cooks, they can only enjoy the treatment of kitchen helpers..."

He Yuzhu was delighted when he heard this. "Thank you, Brother Li. The salary for a kitchen helper is already very good. If they want to increase their salary, they can take the exam themselves."

Li Huaide chuckled and said, "Okay, bring your two junior brothers to work tomorrow, and arrange for them to work in the Fifteenth Canteen, which is short of staff."

"By the way, the assessment will be at the end of the month soon. If your two junior brothers are really confident, I can open a back door and let them directly apply for the seventh-level cook exam."

"Brother Li, thank you so much. If you need me in the future, just let me know." He Yuzhu said with gratitude on his face.

When Li Huaide heard He Yuzhu's expression of loyalty, his eyes lit up and he said kindly, "Zhuzi, this is what you said. When the time comes, I'll ask you for help, and you're not allowed to refuse!"

"Brother Li, look at what you said. You asked me to do something for you, which means you think highly of me. How could I possibly refuse?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was so understanding, Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction.

After finishing the work, He Yuzhu did not leave immediately, but continued to chat with Li Huaidela until someone knocked on the door, and then He Yuzhu said goodbye.

When He Yuzhu returned to the third canteen, Ma Hua immediately handed him an enamel cup.

"Master, please have tea!"

Not to mention, He Yuzhu was actually a little thirsty, so he took the enamel cup and started drinking.

Liu Lan asked curiously: "Zhu Zi, didn't you come to the factory a long time ago? Why are you coming to the kitchen now?"

He Yuzhu said calmly: "I went to see Director Li Huaide to do something!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Lan blurted out.

He Yuzhu glanced at Liu Lan and said unhappily, "What's the matter? Why should I tell you?"

Liu Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, just tell me, you have nothing to do anyway."

He Yuzhu's brows relaxed and he chuckled, "It's actually nothing serious. I just asked Director Li to open a back door and stuffed my two junior brothers into the cafeteria."

Ma Hua was surprised and said, "Master, you have a fellow apprentice?"

He Yuzhu said unhappily: "What are you talking about? Since I have a master, I naturally have a junior brother."

Ma Hua asked in confusion: "Master, isn't your master your father?"

"Who told you that my master is my father? My father only taught me Tan cuisine. My Sichuan cuisine was taught to me by my real master," He Yuzhu explained.

Ma Hua couldn't wait to ask, "Where does Master work now?"

"Your master's grandfather works at Hongbinlou. He is the head chef of Hongbinlou and a national-level cooking master." He Yuzhu said with a little pride.

Ma Hua opened his mouth in shock and murmured, "So my master is so awesome! Master, why didn't you tell me earlier that I have such an awesome master?"

He Yuzhu glanced at him coldly, "Why should I tell you earlier? If I tell you, will you be able to cheat people under his name?"

"I don't even look down on your mediocre cooking skills, let alone my master. Before you reach the fifth-level cook level, you are not allowed to claim the title of your master."

Ma Hua Ya was stunned, and said with a wronged look on his face: "Master, I didn't mean to use the name of my master to cheat people!"

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Nothing is the best! Okay, it's getting late, let's cook!"

"Master, let me ask one more question. Will the two uncles come to our cafeteria?"

"We don't lack people in the cafeteria, so why are they here? They have been assigned to the 15th cafeteria. I will introduce them to you tomorrow."

"Master, let me ask you one more question. How many disciples did you accept?"

"Ten. I'm the eldest senior brother, so you have nine uncles in total. The ones who will come to work in our company tomorrow are your eighth and ninth uncles."

"Master, are the cooking skills of Uncle Eight and Uncle Nine good?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why, do you still want to clash with the Eighth and Ninth Uncles?"

Ma Hua smiled awkwardly, "How dare I? I just want to confirm the cooking skills of the two uncles, and then go and ask them for advice."

He Yuzhu said angrily: "You traitor, as a master, I can't teach you anymore? Do you still want to ask others for advice?"

Ma Hua shrank his neck and said tremblingly: "Master, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to dislike you. It's just that you are now a manager of the factory and you have too many things to do. I often don't see you..."

He Yuzhu's frown relaxed upon hearing this, and he said calmly, "The cooking skills of your two uncles are pretty good, they are more than capable of teaching you."
