Chapter 176 Joking
back kitchen.

Listening to the workers' praise for the food in the canteen, Liu Feng was happier than the chef He Daqing.

"Master He, we have all seen your cooking skills. From now on, you will be the chef of my machine repair shop, and you will be in charge of all matters in the kitchen. I only have one request, that the workers be satisfied with the food. If you need anything, you can come to me directly."

"Director Liu, I will definitely cook well if I become the cook. But I just arrived and don't know much about the factory. I'm afraid I won't be able to manage the kitchen well."

He Daqing acted very calm. No matter whether he was in the steel mill or in Baocheng, he was always the chef who had the final say in the kitchen. Being a chef in a machine repair shop was not enough to make him happy.

However, as he had just arrived, he would not be too dominant. It would be much better for the factory manager to assign someone to help manage the business than for him to take charge all by himself right from the start.

The kitchen is responsible for cooking and food. Even though there are only a dozen people there, who knows what is involved?

When many people are hungry, food is life!
If you are not careful, you will ruin your life, or force others to fight you to death!

When Liu Feng heard what he said, he immediately turned around and said to the person standing aside, "This is easy. Qi Fuwang, you help Master He manage the kitchen. Everything is subject to Master He's words."

"Hey, Director, don't worry, I will definitely help Master He take good care of the kitchen."

Qi Fuwang originally had some objections in his mind, but when he heard that he was asked to help manage the kitchen, he immediately came over to flatter him.

So what if the dishes are good? Didn’t Nan Yi cook good dishes before? But he was still kicked out of the factory.

He Daqing is even worse than Nan Yi. He knows nothing about what’s going on in their machine repair factory, and the kitchen staff will have to listen to him from now on.

He Daqing glanced at Qi Fuwang, nodded and smiled at him.

He had met a lot of people, and he could tell at a glance that Qi Fuwang had no good intentions, but he didn't take it to heart.

Once he understands the machine repair factory, he can train his own people. It's impossible that there are not even a single good person in the kitchen.

……

As time came to evening, Zhou Weimin and Zhou Weibing rode their bicycles side by side, weaving through the alleys.

Zhou Weimin glanced at the courtyard where He Yuzhu now lived at the entrance of the alley and asked casually, "Guard, I heard that you went out with Uncle He last night and rescued Lou Xiao'e?"

Guard Zhou said nonchalantly, "It was a coincidence. I heard some noise in the yard, so I came out to take a look. I happened to run into Uncle He and Sister Yushui chasing out of the yard, so I followed them."

"The thief has been caught, why are you still absent-minded? Do you feel like taking action after saving someone?"

Zhou Weimin and his brother were having a little fun, and he could probably guess what the guard was thinking.

Guard Zhou shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? With my small body, even a stronger thief wouldn't be able to beat me with one punch. Even the things my master taught me recently are much more difficult than those in the workshop. I can't adapt to them."

"Technician Yu's skills are among the best in our steel mill. It would be better for you to learn from him."

Zhou Weimin made a few remarks, then changed the subject and said, "With Yi Zhonghai gone, the courtyard has been much quieter recently. If he was still in the courtyard, the matter between Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e would have required a meeting of the entire courtyard."

"Who says he isn't? He would call a meeting for the whole hospital for every little thing. There were few people who didn't get annoyed by him. It was because he was a big shot and an eighth-level fitter in the past that no one dared to speak out."

Guard Zhou started laughing as he spoke. If there was really no chance to add insult to injury, he would have wanted to go over and step on Yi Zhonghai a couple more times.

There is nothing more satisfying than watching your enemy struggling in the mud. I wanted to suppress him in the workshop before, which was ridiculous.

Weibing Zhou thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he changed the subject and said with regret: "It's hard for Sister Yushui. If Uncle He had come back earlier, Sister Yushui might have gone to college and might have become a college student now."

"It's nothing to regret. After all, Uncle He is back. If Uncle He hadn't come back, Yu Shui would have gotten married out of anxiety and probably would never come back to the yard."

Zhou Weimin sighed imperceptibly. The fifth batch of college students were not as glamorous and promising as he had imagined.

After graduation, they were basically assigned to grassroots positions and lived a life similar to that of the educated youth. The only difference was perhaps that they had a salary.

It is said that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and He Yushui's admission to a technical secondary school can be considered a blessing in disguise.

After adjusting his mood, Zhou Weimin smiled and joked, "Guard, you are very concerned about Yu Shui. Last time, when Sha Zhu wanted to hit Yu Shui, you rushed forward to block him. This time, you followed Yu Shui to chase Lou Xiao'e in the middle of the night. Do you have any feelings for him?"

"How can I do that? Sister Yushui is nice, but she can't stand up to a big brother like Shazhu. Besides, do you think your brother would like her? I'm too small to take a beating. I just think it's a pity. I really don't have any other ideas. Big brother, please don't do anything rash."

Weibing Zhou suddenly became anxious. It was all a coincidence and he had no intention towards He Yushui at all.

Not to mention that he doesn't want to get married so early, even if he does, he wants to find someone he likes and admires. He can't let his second half of his life be ruined just because of his eldest brother's wrong idea.

"Look how anxious you are. Even if you don't tell me which girl you like, I won't go and propose marriage to someone behind your back. I just want to remind you not to do anything that could lead to misunderstanding. Yu Shui knows you too well, so she didn't think that way. If you did so much with another girl, she might think you had that intention."

Seeing that his brother really didn't mean that, Zhou Weimin smiled and reminded him.

The emotions of this era are very simple. One thing or a few words are enough to cause misunderstanding, not to mention what the guards did.

If the guards treat other girls like this and don't take what they do seriously, there will be big problems in the future.

Never overestimate your self-control. It is not as reliable as you think.

"It was just something that happened by chance. I didn't take it seriously. I will pay attention to it next time."

Guard Zhou responded casually and didn't take the words to heart.

He was a person who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. He helped He Yushui only because he couldn't stand Sha Zhu's behavior.

My eldest brother is just worrying about nothing. He would never have anything else to do to help others.

"You...what happened in the yard? Why is Jia Zhang crying again?"

Seeing that he didn't listen, Zhou Weimin wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard Jia Zhang's voice coming from the courtyard not far away.

"Who knows? This isn't the first or second time. There have been such incidents every year."

Having said that, Guard Zhou increased his bicycle speed.

There are really not many entertainment activities these days, and even people like Zhou Weibing are particularly keen on watching the fun.
