Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 6 Pork
Because the timeline is earlier in the morning, the deaf old lady at this time is in better health than when she appeared in the plot. After seeing He Yuzhu carrying noodles into the room, the old lady smiled, put on her shoes, and came to the eight-immortals table in the room.

"Old lady, the noodles are freshly cooked and are still hot. Please eat slowly." He Yuzhu greeted her while handing the chopsticks in his hand to the old lady.

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Okay, my dear grandson, you are so thoughtful and still think of me, an old lady." It seemed that the smell of the noodles made the old lady speak more energetically.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, old lady, you eat here. I'll ask Yushui to come and take the dishes away when you're done. Remember, eat slowly, the noodle soup is hot."

To do his part, He Yuzhu informed the old lady.

"Hey, Yu Shui hasn't come to chat with me today, old lady. I miss her so much." The old lady also nodded.

When He Yuzhu returned to the central courtyard again, Yu Shui had already finished his noodles and was lying on the bed where he slept.

"Girl, you are so old and you are still lying like this. Come on, take a rest and go to your room to do your homework. If it's any later you still have to go to the old lady's place."

Hearing her brother's words, Yu Shui pouted slightly and stood up reluctantly, "Tsk, why can't I sleep in my brother's bed? You're so stingy!"

After saying that, he made a face and ran out without waiting for He Yuzhu's reaction.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud, but didn't say anything else. He just turned around and started to clean up some garbage on the table.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

He Yuzhu was lying on the bed, and when he woke up, he was reciting silently in his heart.

"Sign in!"

"Sign in successfully, get 1 jin of pork."

After hearing the prompt in his mind, He Yuzhu's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

Well, this is really good luck. In the three months since he traveled through time, He Yuzhu has never seen meat in the sign-in rewards. I didn't expect that today he would be rewarded with a pound of pork! And He Yuzhu just took a look and it was top-quality pork belly.

Even though He Yuzhu is now the team leader of the kitchen in the steel mill and has good treatment, he still craves meat! The last time he ate meat was when the factory celebrated a festival. A big fat pig was donated by a brother unit, weighing 250 kilograms. There are more than 10,000 people in the steel mill and six large canteens. The amount allocated to each canteen is about 40 kilograms.

There's no way. Life is hard nowadays. Even if we have white flour to eat, it's already pretty good. As for meat, it's just a dream at best.

Last time, He Yuzhu, thanks to his position as canteen team leader, only got a few more pieces of meat than ordinary workers. When he took it home and shared it with Yu Shui, there was nothing left.

It has been several months since their family last ate meat.

Taking all this into consideration, He Yuzhu looked at the pound of pork in the space and became more and more pleased, and couldn't help but smile.

After being happy for a while, He Yuzhu suppressed his joy, got up, washed, lit a fire and started the stove... However, he was already thinking about how to eat the pound of pork.

After a while, Yu Shui had put on his clothes and came to He Yuzhu.

"Brother, do you have good news today? Why are you smiling so happily?" As soon as he saw his brother, He Yushui noticed something different.

In response, He Yuzhu smiled even more, but kept it a secret: "Okay, you little kid, why are you asking so many questions? Breakfast will be ready soon, so hurry up and go to school after you finish eating."

"Tsk, if you don't tell me, I don't want to know." Yu Shui was a little angry.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but touch the back of the little girl's head and said, "You are quite irritable. Okay, I am going to give you a surprise. You will know it in the evening."

"Really?" After hearing this, He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu with some doubt.

"When did brother lie to you?"

"That's right. Then I won't be angry with my brother anymore. Let's eat...hehe." He Yushui did not doubt what He Yuzhu said. He stepped forward and pulled his brother with a smile.

……

After packing up at home, He Yuzhu and He Yushui went their separate ways.

Yu Shui's school and the steel rolling mill are not on the same route, so Yu Shui goes to school alone.

As for He Yuzhu, the working rules in their kitchen are somewhat different from those of the workers, so they are not so strict.

After all, there is not much work to do in the kitchen in the morning. At most, you have to go to the warehouse to check the quantity of supplies, and then clean the kitchen and prepare food. He Yuzhu will only take action when it is time to cook.

But now, because He Yuzhu is the canteen team leader and has an apprentice, Ma Hua, all these tasks are basically handed over to Ma Hua. No one has any objection to this. After all, with He Yuzhu's current skills, it is really a waste of talent to cook a big pot. When the factory needs to entertain and cook a small pot, that is when He Yuzhu comes in.

……

After about ten minutes, He Yuzhu arrived at the factory.

Entering the gate from the security post, many workers along the way would take the initiative to say hello to He Yuzhu after seeing him.

"Morning, Master He."

"Master He is here to work."

"Master He..."

These workers all know He Yuzhu's skills. He is a master chef who can cook, so everyone will give him some face.

Of course, this is also because He Yuzhu has changed his original silly Zhu's style in the past three months. He is no longer arrogant and does not offend people everywhere. Otherwise, if it were the original silly Zhu, no matter how good your skills are, no one would want to pay attention to such a fool.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the kitchen, some of the guys were already busy. At the same time, He Yuzhu happened to meet a good-looking woman, Liu Lan, a helper in the kitchen.

This woman was not considered a worker, but only a kitchen staff member. So her salary was not as high as that of a formal worker. But in this era, being able to get a position in the kitchen of a large factory like a steel mill was a job that many people envied.

Of course, He Yuzhu also knew another identity of this woman, that is, she was the lover of Deputy Director Li of the factory.

This point was already very obvious in the original drama. Of course, even if he hadn't watched the original drama, He Yuzhu would have known some things about this woman in these three months.

In fact, no one is stupid. When people are together day and night, some things can't be concealed. However, since it's not exposed, and no one has any substantial evidence, and it also involves Deputy Director Li, no one is ignorant enough to expose it.
