Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

After lunch, He Yuzhu found Liu Haizhong and said apologetically, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't treat you to dinner tonight."

Liu Haizhong frowned slightly and asked, "Why, do you have something to do tonight?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Yes, my master has guests tonight, and I, as his apprentice, must go."

"Second uncle, I will definitely treat you to a drink tomorrow night."

Liu Haizhong said helplessly: "Okay, I'll wait for your good wine and good food tomorrow night."

He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong chatted for a while and then left.

After get off work, He Yuzhu went to the market to buy a roast duck and then went straight to the master's house.

He Yuzhu arrived at his master's house and found that his master and his wife were both there, as well as two young men in their twenties.

Lu Dahai introduced with a smile: "Zhu Zi, these two are your eighth junior brother Feng Zhuangfei and ninth junior brother Xiao Yichen."

"Zhuangfei, Yichen, this is your senior brother He Yuzhu."

"Hello, Senior Brother!"

"Hello, Eighth Junior Brother!"

"Hello, senior brother!"

"Hello, Ninth Brother!"

Lu Dahai said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, you brothers can chat more, I will go to cook."

He Yuzhu said: "Master, how can I let you cook? I'll do it!"

Lu Dahai shook his head and smiled, "Zhu Zi, when you come to my house as a guest, it must be me as the host who cooks. How can I let you cook every time?"

Mei Xiu'e also advised: "Zhu Zi, you are tired from work, talk to the two junior brothers, and let your master cook!"

Since both the master and his mistress said so, He Yuzhu did not insist.

Lu Dahai and Mei Xiu'e entered the kitchen, while Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen faced He Yuzhu alone, feeling a little restrained.

He Yuzhu smiled gently, "Two junior brothers, what year were you born?"

Feng Zhuangfei: "Big Brother, I was born in 39!"

Xiao Yichen: "Big Brother, I was born in 40!"

He Yuzhu said in a gentle voice: "I was born in 39 as well. We are not only of the same age, but also fellow apprentices. So there is no need for us to be so reserved. Just say whatever you want to say."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen also relaxed.

The three of them were of the same age and had the same master, so they quickly found common topics.

The three of them got along better and better as they talked, and the initial sense of alienation had long since disappeared without a trace.

After about half an hour, the chef called us to eat.

Three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, with good color, aroma and taste, just looking at them will increase your appetite.

Lu Dahai was so happy that he took out all the Moutai liquor that he had collected for many years.

Everyone was having a great time at the dinner table and they were having a great time talking to each other.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Lu Dahai asked casually, "Zhu Zi, how are your two fellow apprentices doing?"

After these words were spoken, Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen looked at He Yuzhu with burning eyes.

He Yuzhu smiled calmly, "It's all done. The two junior brothers can go to work tomorrow."

Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen were overjoyed when they heard this, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "We are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite."

"In addition, you have just entered the factory and are not yet qualified as cooks. You can only enjoy the treatment of kitchen assistants, and your monthly salary is only 25 yuan."

"However, the assessment will be held at the end of the month. I have already used my connections to allow you to directly apply for the seventh-level cook exam. As long as you pass the exam, you can get a salary of 41.5 yuan per month!"

Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen were stunned by this sudden good news and didn't react for a long time.

Because of the tense situation, no hotel is hiring, and Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen have been unemployed for nearly a year.

Out of desperation, they could only look for odd jobs everywhere. If they were lucky, they could earn more than ten yuan a month, but if they were unlucky, they could not even earn ten yuan.

He Yuzhu's words were undoubtedly great news for them.

Happiness came too quickly, catching them both off guard.

Lu Dahai laughed and scolded: "What are you two stupid boys still standing there for? Come and toast your senior brother a glass of wine!"

Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly picked up their glasses, saying excitedly: "Big Brother, thank you so much, I toast you a glass!"

He Yuzhu waved his hands and said, "We are all brothers, don't be so polite, I won't drink any more. If I drink any more, I won't be able to go back tonight!"

Feng Zhuangfei said firmly: "Brother, I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly stopped them and said, "You two should stop working. You still have to report tomorrow. If you get drunk, it will delay tomorrow's important event.

"If you two really want to drink with me, wait until your work is settled, and then the three of us brothers will have a good drink together."

Hearing this, Lu Dahai agreed and said, "Zhuangfei, Yichen, your elder brother is right. We can't delay tomorrow's important event. Just take a sip and show your appreciation."

The master gave the order, so Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen had no choice but to follow it and only took a small taste.

He Yuzhu suddenly said seriously: "Two junior brothers, are you okay with the seventh-level cook?"

"I'm not questioning your cooking skills, but you just entered the factory and you applied for the seventh-level cook exam. If you fail, it will attract a lot of gossip."

Before the two of them could reply, Lu Dahai said, "Zhu Zi, don't worry, Zhuang Fei and Yi Chen are both very good at cooking. It will be easy for them to pass the seventh-level cook exam."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Since the master has said so, I have nothing to worry about."

Lu Dahai said seriously, "Zhuangfei, Yichen, your senior brother has worked in the steel mill for many years and is now the deputy director of the canteen. When you two enter the factory, you should listen to him more. If you don't understand something, just ask him directly. We are all brothers and sisters, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

The two nodded hurriedly, "Master, rest assured, after entering the factory, we will listen to you in everything."

Lu Dahai nodded with satisfaction, and then said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, Zhuang Fei and Yi Chen are both honest people, not the kind of people with bad intentions. You should give them more advice in the factory."

He Yuzhu said seriously: "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of the two junior brothers."

Lu Dahai suddenly thought of something and said solemnly, "Zhu Zi, will anyone have any objections to you cramming two people into the cafeteria at once?"

He Yuzhu was slightly startled, then frowned and said, "The factory's regular workers are in short supply, and some people will definitely have objections. So since we are brothers in the same school, it's best to keep it a secret."

"Still, don't tell anyone else that I arranged a job for you."

"Don't worry, we know what to do!"

Feng Zhuangfei and Xiao Yichen nodded solemnly.

He Yuzhu's brows relaxed and he smiled lightly, "Two junior brothers, don't be too nervous. I still have some connections in the steel mill. Ordinary people can't do anything to me."

"If you two encounter any problems in the steel mill in the future, you can come to me privately. As long as it's not a big problem, I can solve it..."
