Siheyuan: Cooking journey

"Are you thinking too much, you guy?"

Director Yang said helplessly:

"It's so nice to live in a courtyard house, with a house and a courtyard. I want to find such a place but I can't find one. Housing is so tight now, and there are so many people waiting in line. Don't add to the chaos."

"Everyone else has arranged everything perfectly, why is it that it's not working for me? Isn't this discrimination?"

He Yuzhu complained: "I have to manage the canteen and cook in person. I do two jobs and you give me two more dollars. Do you have the nerve to do that? The housing problem must be solved.

Otherwise, I will quit this job as canteen director."

He Yuzhu was not just saying this for fun, he really didn't want to do this anymore.

The canteen director is not only responsible for purchasing things, but also has very tedious tasks. The accounts cannot be wrong at all. It is not like being a chef, where cooking is easy and you can spend the whole day happily without any worries.

"You are such a stubborn boy. You already have a house, why are you still thinking about arranging housing for me?"

Director Yang said angrily and amusedly: "Give me a reasonable reason. No, it won't work without a reason. According to the regulations, those who have houses do not meet the standards."

"I'm getting married, and it's inconvenient to live with my sister. Is this a valid reason?"

He Yuzhu blinked and said shyly:

"By the way, please give me a marriage certificate so I can register."

"Okay, okay, you can do it, kid." Director Yang smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You want a promotion and you want to get married, double happiness. How about this, I'll report it to you."

After a pause, Director Yang reminded: "But reporting it doesn't mean you will have a house immediately. Please be patient and wait."

This is better than looking for it yourself, but you won’t find it anyway.

He Yuzhu asked: "How long do we have to wait?"

"It's hard to say. I don't know either. We have to make unified arrangements."

Director Yang shook his head and reminded:

"Since you asked for housing, I'll help you get it. You must work hard and be careful not to make any mistakes. I'm not the only one who has the final say in the factory. I can nominate you, so naturally there are people who are watching you and want to catch you.

By the way, this year our factory has 200 vacancies for the graduate allocation. With more workers in the future, your canteen will be even busier. So, I will transfer Liu Lan back to help you first. If you still don’t have enough manpower, come to me to apply for it.”

He Yuzhu calculated that the kitchen had barely enough staff, and thinking of He Yushui's matter, he said:

"We have enough manpower for now, but I have something else to ask for your help..."

After listening to this, Director Yang thought about it and did not agree immediately. He said:

"I'll help you find out about your work. I'm unsure right now, so I can't promise you anything. We'll talk about the details later. I'm going to go back and get some sleep first."

...

After Director Yang left, He Yuzhu strolled into the cafeteria office and took a look around.

As he looked through various documents, he realized how lucrative the position of canteen director was.

As the kitchen monitor, he can cover the sky with one hand and pour money from his left pocket into his right pocket without leaving any trace.

For example, when buying meat, every time you make a big pot dish, you are reimbursed for ten kilograms, but in fact nine kilograms are put in. Who knows about the remaining one kilogram?

Of course, He Yuzhu disdains to do such unscrupulous work.

But I heard that the former canteen director did this a lot.

What’s more, they are quite ruthless and most of the ingredients disappear before they even enter the factory.

According to regulations, the steel rolling mill has a considerable quota at the meat processing plant every month.

Isn't it strange that as the chef, I haven't seen much?

In addition to the meat supplied by the meat processing plant,

Vegetables were mainly delivered from the Sijiqing Commune outside the city, with horse-drawn carriages delivering them at regular intervals.

He Yuzhu felt that as the canteen director, it was necessary for him to go there and take a look.

It's the peak season for vegetables now. We can't always eat cabbage and potatoes. It's okay to eat them in winter, but we also eat them in summer. The former canteen director must have had a problem with his brain. He only knew how to order these things.

After looking around,

He Yuzhu discovered that the canteen director's job was simpler than he had imagined. Although it was purchasing, there was actually a fixed quota.

For example, if you want meat from the meat processing plant, you just need to take the order and go there every few days. You can ask someone else to do it for you. In the future, let Ma Hua bring a few security guards and drive the factory truck to pick up the goods.

Vegetables are delivered by the commune, so it's not a big deal.

At most, you can go there to see if there are any seasonal vegetables to change the taste.

The food is delivered directly from the grain station.

The troublesome thing is the accounts, such as how many bags of flour were used every day and how many steamed buns were steamed, which have to be recorded in detail.

Looking through the old account books, He Yuzhu originally wanted to learn how to report the accounts, but the more he looked, the more he felt that Deputy Director Li's stroke was a minor one.

According to the account books before Director Yang’s ban, a lot of different kinds of meat were consumed every day.

But actually?

Anyway, I haven’t seen it.

With these account books, and together with the person in charge like Deputy Director Li, no flaws can be found during the investigation.

The only thing He Yuzhu was curious about was where all these ingredients had gone.

The relevant departments are investigating this matter.

It’s better not to care too much, so as not to cause trouble.

After walking around the office, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.

The former canteen director really knew how to enjoy life. He partitioned off a small room from his office and put a bed in it.

Now, I have a place to relax after my daily work.

The main task of the canteen director is to manage the account books,

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to let Liu Lan take notes on a regular basis, and he would just review it every day.

He can read ten lines at a glance and has a photographic memory. No matter how he looks at the account books, they seem to be specially tailor-made for him and not a single mistake escapes his notice.

Muttering to himself, He Yuzhu returned to the cafeteria. It was time for breakfast.

……

In the cafeteria.

Qin Huairu had just started work and was in a particularly good mood. Compared to yesterday's indifference, today was a world of difference. Everyone called her "Sister Qin" and "Sister Qin".

If you have a bad reputation, no one will pay attention to you.

Feel this,

Qin Huairu understands the importance of reputation more and cherishes her reputation more.

But at the same time, she was also very worried, fearing that she would suddenly receive a transfer notice and be asked to return to the workshop.

With such an uneasy mood, she saw He Yuzhu coming back in a good mood.

Ma Hua immediately approached and asked curiously:

"Master, why did Director Yang talk to you for so long?"

"It's not a big deal."

He Yuzhu did not hide it and said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry about being transferred to the workshop anymore. Deputy Director Li has had a stroke and will no longer be in charge of the work."

"Isn't this a big deal?"

Ma Hua was pleasantly surprised and said, "That Li guy really got what he deserved."

Qin Huairu, who was eavesdropping on the side, was even more surprised than Ma Hua. Deputy Director Li had gotten into trouble, but her job in the canteen was saved.

From now on, I can save money on two meals a day.

Qin Huairu was in a good mood, but when she heard He Yuzhu's next words, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated and she began to look forward to it.

"From now on, I, your master, will be the canteen director. Be careful. If you don't work hard, I will transfer you to the workshop..."
