Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

In Wang Dong's opinion, the saying "If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested" is clearly an excuse for He Yuzhu to take advantage of the steel plant's kitchen.

Cooking is a profession, and being a fitter is a profession. There is no difference between the two.

If the fitters in the workshop were like the cooks, taking one or two parts home while processing them, the steel mill would be in chaos.

Moreover.

Wang Dong had been a cook for decades in his previous life, and had never heard of the saying "If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested."

While I was a cook, I never stole food from the kitchen.

Even if they wanted to bring food home, they had to pay first. Unlike He Yuzhu, he used the excuse of "if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested" to openly take advantage of the steel mill's kitchen, which was actually stealing.

After becoming a canteen monitor, he set a rule in the kitchen that no leftovers could be taken home, thus breaking the saying "If the cook does not steal, the crops will not be harvested."

After accepting Tang Dashan and Huang Longfei as his disciples.

Wang Dong reminded them more than once that the chef had no shortage of food and there was no need to ruin his reputation for a few leftovers.

As a result, when they were attending a banquet outside, they would never take anything from the host's house into their own home unless the host specifically asked them to give it to them.

The middle-aged man hurried into the front yard, asked Yan Fugui a few questions and then went straight to Tang Dashan's house.

He left the courtyard twenty minutes later, holding the list of meat and vegetables prepared by Tang Dashan in his hand, his face full of excitement.

This means that he got the result he wanted from Tang Dashan.

Faced with such a result, He Yuzhu was like a defeated rooster. He walked towards the central courtyard with his head hung and dejected. He didn't even hear Yan Fugui greeting him.

"Zhu Zi...what's wrong with you...haven't you received the invitation to the banquet yet..."

As soon as he stepped into the central courtyard, Qin Huairu's voice rang in his ears.

Seeing Qin Huairu standing at the main door with a look of anticipation, He Yuzhu suddenly became a different person. The distraught expression on his face disappeared immediately, and he smiled and said, "Wife, nothing happened..."

"It's just that I just accepted a banquet that was too cheap."

"I, He Yuzhu, have passed the eighth-level chef exam. My cooking skills are there. How could I not be able to get a seat?"

"I was just too lazy to do it before. If I am willing to do it, that kid Tang Dashan in the front yard will definitely not be able to beat me."

"Just wait and see. I will pay back all the money I borrowed from Wang Dong within two years at the latest."

This time, Qin Huairu did not notice anything wrong with He Yuzhu. Although she looked down on He Yuzhu from the bottom of her heart, for the sake of the twenty or thirty yuan salary every month, she still pretended to be happy and answered.

"Pillar……"

"I knew that Tang Dashan and his friends in the front yard couldn't compare to you in terms of making banquets."

"Next time you go out to cook a banquet, remember to bring back more meat and vegetables. Banggeng and Xiaodang have lost weight recently. It must be because they don't eat enough meat."

"Now the steel mill does not allow you to bring leftovers home, so you can only find a way to bring them home when you receive the banquet."

The emergence of one lie requires countless lies to cover it up. This sentence is the most appropriate to describe He Yuzhu now.

He hasn't even received an invitation to the banquet yet, so how can he bring back meat for Banggeng, Kuihua and the others?

Take a thousand steps back.

One of the important reasons why I couldn't get any banquet invitations was that I used to like to take the unused meat and vegetables from the host and take advantage of the host.

If I finally get a chance to attend a banquet, and then take advantage of the host by taking home some of the meat and vegetables, which are already scarce, and word gets out, I will definitely not be invited to host a banquet in the future.

But facing Qin Huairu's expectant eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and agree, intending to fight against the enemy with his own army and cover the water with earth, and slowly think of a solution in the future. …………

Two years passed in a blink of an eye.

My daughter-in-law Chen Jun successfully graduated from university and got an internship opportunity in the technical department of a steel rolling mill.

Although Director Yang is still in charge of the steel mill, the news outside is getting closer and closer.

Almost everyone in the steel mill knew that Director Yang was not far from stepping down.

Therefore, Deputy Director Li has the final say on almost all matters, big or small, in the factory.

Except for some important occasions, Director Yang rarely shows up in the factory.

He is like a turtle, staying in his office all day long.

"Sister Jun, this is the employment certificate issued to you by Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill. The day after tomorrow morning, come with me to report to the technical department of the steel rolling mill. You will do an internship first, and then you can be a technician after you are converted to a regular employee in the future." Wang Dong handed a document to Chen Jun as he entered the door and introduced it with a smile on his face.

"During the internship period, I will be assigned the 14th level, and the monthly salary will be 48.5 yuan."

"When you become a technician in the future, your salary will be raised to level 13, which is 55 yuan per month."

"If I can pass the engineer exam, my salary will be raised to level nine, which is 102 yuan per month."

"If I remember correctly, there is only one engineer in the steel mill, so you can serve as the head of the technical department. If you pass the engineer exam, you will definitely be able to get a position as the deputy head of the technical department. Maybe you can even become the deputy director of the factory in charge of technical production in the future."

Chen Jun had just graduated from college and had no idea about these gradings. But his father-in-law Chen Dehui was different. As an old man in the steel rolling mill, no one knew the ins and outs better than him.

He immediately asked back: "Dongzi..."

"I remember that interns in the technical department of the steel mill used to receive a salary of grade 17. How come Junzi can get a salary of grade 14 right after he started?"

Wang Dong explained with a smile: "Uncle..."

"The 17th-grade salary is what technical secondary school graduates receive during their internship."

"According to reason, Sister Jun should have received the 15th-grade salary when she first joined the steel mill, and it would be raised to the 14th grade after three months, and then to the 13th grade after she became a technician."

"Deputy Director Li said that the steel mill hasn't had any college graduates for a long time, so they must be given preferential treatment. He directly gave Sister Jun a 14th-level salary."

"Besides Sister Jun, I also have good news..."

"I just turned 20 this year, and I have been working as the deputy director of the kitchen at the steel mill for four years."

"No accidents occurred during this period, and the kitchen of the steel mill was praised by the superiors."

"After Deputy Director Li mentioned it, my proposal to be promoted to the head of the kitchen at the steel rolling mill was successfully voted on."

"From tomorrow on, I will be the kitchen manager of the steel mill."

"Next month, my salary will be raised to level 18, which is 89 yuan per month."

"Adding the 5 yuan subsidy per month for the small kitchen, the total is 94 yuan."

Chen Dehui's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said excitedly: "This is a great thing with double happiness coming together."

"Old woman, I remember you bought a pound of meat this morning and cooked it all."

"Steam half a cured chicken and half a cured fish. We must celebrate tonight." (End of this chapter)
