Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

After the meeting, He Yuzhu did not return to the office, but went to the cafeteria downstairs to check the work of each cafeteria and to notify the team leaders of each cafeteria to attend the meeting.

At about four o'clock, the squad leaders of fifteen canteens gathered in He Yuzhu's office.

Since there were limited seats in the office, everyone had to stand during the meeting.

When He Yuzhu saw that everyone was present, he said in a serious tone, "I have three things to say in today's meeting."

“The first thing is hygiene.”

"Our canteen is where we cook, so hygiene must be up to standard. As the saying goes, disease comes from what you eat. Regardless of whether your food is delicious or not, the first thing to do is to make it clean. We must be worthy of the stomachs of our fellow workers."

“Hygiene includes kitchen hygiene, food hygiene and the chef’s personal hygiene.”

"Kitchen hygiene also includes the hygiene of the stove, cooking utensils and tableware. I require that the kitchen be free of dirt, residue and oil stains."

"I think everyone knows the importance of food hygiene. Once a problem occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. Never use expired or spoiled ingredients. Ingredients must be cleaned safely before being put into the pot..."

"Finally, it's about personal hygiene, which is also the issue that people tend to overlook. Now it's summer, so everyone must change clothes frequently, wash their hair frequently, and cut their fingernails frequently."

"Speaking of which, please stretch out your hands for me to see."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone stretched out their hands shyly.

He Yuzhu read it and said angrily, "Jia Jianqiang, why do you, as a man, keep your nails so long?"

"It's fine if you grow your nails, but why are your nails full of dirt? Who the hell would dare to eat the food you cook with such black hands?"

Jia Jianqiang was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He smiled and said, "Director, don't be angry. I'll cut it when I get down."

"What are you going to do? Cut it off for me now."

As He Yuzhu said this, he took out a nail clipper from the drawer and handed it to Jia Jianqiang.

Jia Jianqiang took the nail clippers and quickly cut his fingernails under the gaze of everyone.

He Yuzhu put away his nail clippers and said with a stern face, "From now on, you must cut your fingernails every three days. If anyone dares to cut his fingernails again, I will pull out his fingernails."

"Feng Zhuangfei, take three steps forward."

When Feng Zhuangfei heard this, although he was confused, he still took three steps properly and came to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhui didn't say anything, he raised his hand and started fiddling with Feng Zhuangfei's head. In an instant, dandruff fell like snowflakes.

He Yuzhu said in a deep voice: "Look for yourselves, if someone is cooking and losing dandruff at the same time, would you dare to eat the dishes he cooks?"

Feng Zhuangfei whispered, "Director, I'm wearing a chef's hat, so dandruff won't fall into the pot."

He Yuzhu said coldly: "Stop quibbling. If you have dandruff on your head, it will definitely itch, and you can't help but raise your hand to scratch it, and the dandruff will naturally fall into the pot."

"If you have dandruff on your head, you must wash your hair frequently. If you find washing your hair troublesome, you can cut your hair short or shave your head."

Feng Zhuangfei lowered his head and said, "Director, I understand. I will go get my hair cut short after get off work."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and continued: "After the first thing, let's talk about the second thing."

"The second thing is that the factory will hold a commendation meeting for model workers next month. After the awards are given to the model workers, there will be a cultural performance. People with talent in this area can come to me to sign up to participate. Go down and notify the people in your cafeteria."

"The third thing is also related to the Model Worker Commendation Conference. After the conference, there was a group dinner. The factory specially allocated funds to buy two pigs. We must prepare the meals for the day."

When everyone heard that there were two big fat pigs, they were all very excited.

Ma Hua blurted out: "Master, when is the Model Worker Commendation Conference?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Why? Are you all excited to hear that there is free pork to eat?"

Ma Hua laughed and said, "Master, look at what you said. Who wouldn't be excited to have free pork in this day and age?"

He Yuzhu said with a straight face: "Just wait for the excitement. The meeting will be held next month. The factory will notify you of the specific time."

"During this period, you all need to be more serious and take care of the hygiene. Especially on the day of the Model Worker Commendation Conference, many senior leaders will be here. If anyone fails to do so, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Don't worry, Director. We will never embarrass you."

"Okay, now that we've finished talking, let's all get back to work!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone walked out of the office with smiles on their faces.

He Yuzhu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Deputy Director Sun, Xiao Yichen, you two stay for a while."

Upon hearing this, Sun Daqiang and Xiao Yichen stopped in their tracks at the same time.

"Xiao Yichen, please wait at the door for a moment. Come in after I finish talking to Deputy Director Sun."

"Okay, Director!"

As Xiao Yichen said this, he very considerately closed the door for him.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Old Sun, please sit down first. I'll make you a cup of tea!"

Sun Daqiang said cheerfully: "Director, I won't drink the tea. We are so familiar with each other. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

He Yuzhu heard Sun Daqiang say this, and without further ado, he got straight to the point:

"Old Sun, I have two things to tell you."

"First, I may be quite busy recently, so I hope you can focus more on management work, especially hygiene issues. You must pay attention to them. Once safety issues arise, neither you nor I can escape responsibility."

Sun Daqiang vowed: "Don't worry, Director. It is my duty and I will do my best to fulfill it."

He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Lao Sun, you are the model worker of our cafeteria. I recommended you. This is the second thing I want to say."

Upon hearing this, Sun Daqiang was so excited that even his breathing became rapid, and his face showed a look of both nervousness and excitement.

People of this era are relatively simple and have a strong sense of collective honor, so they attach great importance to honor. That is why Sun Daqiang was so excited when he heard He Yuzhu recommend him as a model worker.

Sun Daqiang suppressed his excitement and said in a trembling voice: "First of all, thank you for your recognition of my work, but my work attitude is average, I am afraid I am not worthy of the honor of model worker."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Old Sun, don't be so modest. You have been working on the front line for decades. If you are not qualified to be rated as a model worker in our cafeteria, who else is qualified to be rated as a model worker?"

Sun Daqiang smiled awkwardly and said, "Since the director has said so, I feel ashamed to accept it."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "That's right! But I am only responsible for recommending, I can't guarantee whether it will be rated or not."

Sun Daqiang said seriously: "Director, I understand. I will be satisfied if you can recommend me."

After chatting for a while, Sun Daqiang tactfully said goodbye.
