Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 121: Silly Zhu Causes Trouble (Second Update)
Although supplies in the city were becoming increasingly scarce, the steel rolling mill, as a key material guarantee unit, could still receive a batch of pork every two or three days.

There are more monks and less meat.

If we want to feed nearly 10,000 workers in the factory with pork, we definitely cannot make large pieces of braised pork.

The best way is to cut the pork into slices and make pork stewed with vermicelli...

When serving the food, everyone can get a few slices.

Although He Yuzhu is a canteen chef, he hasn't eaten a large piece of braised pork for a long time.

Although the family had cooked braised pork a few days ago, most of it was given to the Jia family and the old lady. Even his sister He Yushui only ate a few pieces. He felt embarrassed to snatch the meat from Yushui's mouth again.

When he heard that there would be braised pork at the lunch banquet, He Yuzhu's first thought was to take some home to make up for the rain.

But there was only so much pork on the table. If I really took a lunch box of braised pork back, the remaining pork would not be enough for the banquet.

The first thing that came to my mind was the potatoes in the frame.

If there is not enough pork, use potatoes instead. In this way, even if you bring back a lunch box of braised pork with potatoes, the remaining pork will be enough to make four large bowls of braised pork with potatoes.

At worst, you can put less meat and more potatoes.

just do it...

In less than two hours, the steaming dishes began to come out of the pot.

Braised chicken, braised fish, stir-fried shredded radish and meat...

As the only main dish today, the braised pork was specially placed in the middle of the table by He Yuzhu.

“The braised pork is here!”

Ma Hua brought a bowl of braised pork with potatoes taking up nearly half of the pork and placed it on the table. In just a moment, the pieces of meat hidden among the potatoes were snatched away completely.

of course……

This does not mean that everyone is uncivilized or does not abide by the rules.

It's because everyone is short of meat.

I will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity to eat meat.

Seeing the neighbors and relatives at the dinner table all enjoying the pork belly in the bowl, the host frowned.

of course……

This does not mean that the host is reluctant to give it up, but that he noticed that the amount of pork in the bowl is not right.

For this full moon banquet, he did everything he could to prepare five kilograms of pork...

One pound is used to stir-fry shredded radish, and the rest is all used to make braised pork. In theory, each table can get one pound of pork belly.

Take another look at the bowls of food on the table. Half of them are filled with potatoes, and the braised pork accounts for at most half.

It would be good if I could get about 70 or 80 taels.

If one table has two or three taels less pork, the total amount of pork for four tables is more than one pound.

Now the price of pork in the pigeon market has risen to more than two yuan per pound, and there is still no demand...

If the more than one pound of pork missing from the table was pocketed by the cook, it would be equivalent to him pocketing more than two dollars from the host's family, which is more than twice his wages.

The wife at the side noticed that her husband looked unhappy and asked quickly, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"Go and keep an eye on Chef He who is cooking... There is at least one pound of pork missing from the meal I prepared!" the male host said seriously.

"Eat first, don't make any noise..."

"It's a happy day after all!"

"Let's deal with this after dinner!"

The banquet ended at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Relatives who lived farther away said goodbye and left one after another, leaving only some neighbors to help clean up the tables, chairs, and dishes!
The man came to the makeshift stove with a smile on his face.

He Yuzhu was holding a lunch box made by Lu, which was heavy and full of things.

The smile on the man's face disappeared in an instant, and he asked solemnly: "Master He..."

"What's in your lunch box? It's so heavy?"

He Yuzhu didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet. He patted the lunch box in the net bag and said, "Braised pork!" After that, he shamelessly said, "You prepared too little pork!"

"After I filled it up, I was afraid there wouldn't be enough for the banquet, so I added some extra potatoes!"

"How about it!"

"My cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they?"

“Although there are a few more potatoes, the taste must be as good as the braised pork!”

The man's face became more and more ugly. He stared at the lunch box in He Yuzhu's hand and continued, "Can I take a look at the braised pork in the lunch box?"

"Of course no problem!" He Yuzhu finally felt that there was something wrong with the host's tone, but he didn't think much about it. After all, it was not the first time he brought food to other people's tables.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

When you open the lunch box, the strong aroma of braised pork quickly fills the air.

Compared with the braised pork on the table, which was half made up of potatoes, the braised pork in He Yuzhu's lunch box was made up of large pieces of pork, with only a few pieces of potatoes.

In addition to the braised pork, there are also two large pieces of fish and several pieces of chicken thighs. It’s full!

Based on the current prices in Pigeon City, this lunch box of food is worth at least four dollars.

The man's face was so ugly that it couldn't be described. He just sank and frowned and asked, "Master He..."

"Who agreed to let you take the food home?"

"Do you know how much this lunch box is worth?"

He Yuzhu replied as a matter of course: "I used to take food home when I was at a table outside... Is there a problem?"

"Hurry up and pay me, I want to go back..."

"Is there someone at home waiting for me to cook?"

The male host stood in front of He Yuzhu and said, "Master He..."

"I'm afraid you can't leave now!"

"I don't know what the rules were when you hosted banquets in the past... but here we never have the rule of the cook taking the food home. After all, we paid you for your work!"

"You were introduced by Master Yi from the workshop, and you are also the chef of the steel mill. I will give you a favor and leave all the food in the lunch box. I will pay you and then leave!"

"Why?" He Yuzhu became anxious when he heard it.

The braised pork in the lunch box was what he used to apologize to Yu Shui. If he returned it, the salary he earned today would not be enough to buy him half a pound of meat. How could he compensate him?

He refused immediately: "It is also my rule to bring food home!"

"Since you asked me to cook, you have to follow my rules!"

"Then there's no room for negotiation!"

The male host didn't expect He Yuzhu to be so arrogant even when he was ignored. No wonder he was isolated in the cafeteria.

Seeing that He Yuzhu had no intention of giving in, the male host directly said to a neighbor next to him: "Brother Li..."

"Please help me find the police!"

"While Master He was helping me cook, he stole the host's food without the host's consent. Please ask them to come and help me deal with it..."

After saying that, he turned his attention to another worker: "Brother Zhang..."

"Please help me find Master Yi from the Red Star Courtyard..."

"He was the one who introduced Master He. Now Master He has stolen things from the owner's house and refuses to correct his mistakes. I must let his introducer know about this. Otherwise, Master Yi will accuse me of not giving him face and will make things difficult for me in the future at the steel mill!"

Seeing the two neighbors in the yard hurriedly leave, He Yuzhu realized that something was wrong.

Even his speech softened.

"Isn't it just a few dishes? Why is there such a big fuss?"

"Why don't you give me 50 cents less and let me take the food home!"
