Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 156 Xiao Zao is not happy and breaks into the door (please subscribe)

In the workshop, a group of people sat in rows on stools and small benches.

At the front was Zhou Fengnian, patting the blackboard and giving a lecture. He was speaking hard, and the people below were listening attentively, taking notes from time to time.

"Electronic control technology is likely to be the trend of engines in the next few decades, and fuel shortages can also prompt us to study many new technologies, such as compound engines."

After Zhou Fengnian spoke for a while, he felt his throat was dry, so he picked up the water cup and took a sip. He looked at the time again and felt that it was almost time to eat, so he said:
"That's all for today. Let's eat first and digest what I said. I'll give you another assignment later. Try to complete it if you are capable."

When they heard that Zhou Fengnian wanted to rest, the thirty people below suddenly became a little anxious and hurriedly asked

"Mr. Zhou, please talk for a while."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, please talk for a while. We are not in a hurry to eat."

"Mr. Zhou, the compound vortex engine you just mentioned"

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said, "Stop. Today's lunch is a rare special meal. The department only approved it for you once. Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"

"If you really don't want to eat, then I'll have someone notify the kitchen to cancel the lunch meal."

When they heard about the special kitchen, most of the people instantly quieted down. They didn't eat meat every day in their factory these days, so who would be willing to miss out on having a special kitchen?

And it only happens once a month.

At this time, Engineer Wang Ze, who came to study with them, said, "Let's go eat first. We shouldn't keep 'monopolizing' Engineer Zhou. He is the deputy director of the machine tool factory and he must have his own things to do."

When saying the latter sentence, Wang Ze felt a little reluctant; but there was nothing he could do, as Zhou Fengnian’s techniques were very thorough, and he wanted Zhou Fengnian to keep teaching him.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

"Yes, it won't waste time to study after dinner."

The opinions were quickly unified, and the group walked towards the cafeteria in a large group.

There were ten people in one private room, and the dishes were served separately, so they could have a delicious meal.

In particular, Zhou Weitian can also cook Huaiyang cuisine. Although there are only three or four dishes, the taste is very authentic, which makes people from SAIC and Nanjing Automobile Factory satisfied and praise the food.

Zhou Weitian's cooking skills are quite varied. He knows a little bit of everything, even Northeastern dishes. It's a pity that there are no ingredients in Sijiu City, otherwise he could have cooked some high and low dishes.

Cooking for thirty people at once was very tiring for Zhou Weitian. Usually he would take a break after cooking a big pot of food, but today he had to cook for another hour.

However, the kitchen also gained a lot. Zhou Weitian habitually left half a spoonful of each dish before it came out of the pot.

Half a spoonful is not a lot for a dish, just the amount for one or two chopsticks. But today there are nearly thirty dishes, and half a spoonful is left for each one, which adds up to a lot.

The people in the small kitchen in the front were eating enthusiastically, and the people in the canteen kitchen in the back were also staring eagerly at the small kitchen dishes left by Zhou Weitian.

Normally they only dare to take leftovers back home, and this is allowed by the canteen director.

You are not allowed to shake the wok. If there is any leftover food, the kitchen staff can divide it among themselves.

Their machine tool factory is an important large factory of the Ministry of Machine Building, and the supply of materials is very sufficient. Sometimes they can cook a little more per person, so the food will be divided in the kitchen.

However, they could share the dishes from the big pot, but not the dishes from the small stove. Whoever cooked them got to deal with them. Zhou Weitian was the only one who was busy with the small stove, and he was also the squad leader of the cafeteria. Even if others were envious, they didn't dare to ask for a share.

But Zhou Weitian felt uncomfortable with so many people staring at him, so he knocked on the table and said, "Let's share the extra food from today's special meal. Take it home and have something delicious to eat at home."

When the others heard this, they immediately smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Chef Zhou. My husband can also taste Chef Zhou's cooking skills."

"Master Zhou, we are in for a treat today."

"Thank you, Master Zhou."

After hearing this, the people in the kitchen were all delighted and then they began to distribute today's special dishes.

Each person got a small half box. It was impossible to eat enough, but it was enough for the family to have a taste. And there were still some leftovers from the big pot, so we can have another meal tonight.

The wages of kitchen staff are relatively low, and without a master to teach them, so they are basically fixed at the regular worker’s wage of 27.5.

The leftovers from the big pot were one of the few benefits they received, but they could not stir the pot for the workers.

Zhou Weitian had been reminded of this by Zhou Fengnian, so Canteen 1 was the only canteen in the factory that did not shake the wok. The other three canteens had to shake the wok a few times to a greater or lesser extent.

in the afternoon.

While the kitchen was cleaning, a kitchen helper from the second canteen came back to the kitchen with a sigh of relief, and then immediately said to the others, "The first canteen cooked a small meal again today, and each of them got a little bit. It tasted so good, wow!"

"San Gou, have you eaten?"

"I ate it. Of course I ate it. I grew up with Lin from Canteen 1. He gave me several bites."

Li Sangou said nostalgically: "It's true, the chef in the canteen is quite good. I heard that someone invited him to help in the kitchen before."

"Don't mention it. It would be nice if we could have a few special meals."

"Come on, our cafeteria has a special meal, and it's not your turn to share!"

The people in the kitchen of the second canteen started talking about it, but no one wanted to use the small kitchen as it was their own canteen's small kitchen.

The second canteen also cooked several times during this period, but each time the dishes from the small kitchen were taken away by the chef alone, and they couldn't get any.

One time, a kitchen helper asked to take some food home to try. After all, he stayed to help. Unexpectedly, the chef mocked him: "You don't have the skills to cook, but you have the nerve to eat the food. It's really strange~"

From then on, the kitchen helpers in the second canteen no longer asked for their own kitchen. After all, they had no cooking skills, and even the dishes from the big pot were not satisfactory.

"It would be great if I could be transferred to a canteen, maybe I could learn a few tricks from them. I heard that Master Zhou there would teach cooking when he's in a good mood."

"Shh, stop talking!"

Another kitchen helper quickly stopped Li Sangou. The latter looked back and saw He Yuzhu standing at the door with a teacup. So Li Sangou lowered his head in disappointment and went back to work.

Master He has a bad temper and often scolds people. It’s better for him to stay away from them.

He Yuzhu was also feeling suffocated. Not only did he hear that his kitchen helper wanted to go to the First Canteen, he also heard that the First Canteen was starting a small kitchen.

It's obvious that he has better cooking skills, but the canteen director always assigns him to cook for the whole canteen.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he immediately put down his teacup and walked towards the canteen director's office.

Arriving at the director's office, He Yuzhu pushed the door open and asked, "Director, why is the special cooking assigned to the first canteen again? You can't just rely on his connections to keep giving him the special cooking assignment!"

"What are you talking about? Master He, are you questioning my work?"

After hearing this, Director Liu of the cafeteria was stunned, and then immediately said: "I have to consider the person's cooking. He is from Shanghai and Nanjing, and you can't cook Huaiyang cuisine.

Oh, so I asked you to prepare a table of Sichuan dishes, and the customers' mouths turned red from the spiciness, and then I was satisfied after being complained about?"

"For guests from Sichuan and Chongqing who like spicy food, haven't we arranged it for you? What? If you can cook Huaiyang cuisine, I will arrange it for you next time too!" When He Yuzhu heard this, he knew that he was a little anxious and impulsive, and secretly blamed Li Sangou in the kitchen. If that bastard hadn't said that he wanted to go to the first canteen, he wouldn't have come to the canteen director in anger to argue.

"Director, I can also cook Tan's dishes. If there are guests who don't like spicy food next time, you can arrange for me to cook.

And I can cook Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine, which looks spicy but doesn’t taste spicy.”

"Master He, can you please find me the ingredients for Tan's cuisine? When our factory is at its best, we only eat mutton and duck. If you can get me some shark fin, I will prepare a special meal for you!"

Director Liu from the cafeteria made He Yuzhu blush, but he knew he was not in the right, and the anger he had when he first came over had already disappeared by more than half.

After being scolded by the canteen director, He Yuzhu went back with his neck shrunk.

Zhou Weitian didn't know about this, but the lunch box he brought back was comfortable. He enjoyed his job as a cook more and more.

He can save the family a lot of money on food every day, and with his and his wife's salary, he can save thirty or forty yuan a month.

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Fengnian tried his best to get rid of the three people from the car factory, found Zhao Qiang waiting for him in the car, and urged him directly: "Hurry up, drive."

Zhao Qiang started the car and asked, "Deputy Director Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Fengnian had taught him how to shift gears while driving before, and the two of them became familiar with each other and would chat while driving.

"Don't mention it. Those people really treat me as a wishing machine. They come to ask me questions about everything. They don't even want me to go home after work. They want me to work with them until the early morning!"

Their home is not here, but Zhou Fengnian has his family with him.

"It means you are popular, haha."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and said, "They also thought that since they were already here, if they didn't ask more questions, they would be at a loss when they return. And it was just like they had discussed it beforehand."

Now Zhou Fengnian only hopes to teach them and send them away quickly, so that they don’t catch him alone and ask for advice, which would squeeze out all the people in the technical department of the machine tool factory.

But it is not without benefits. Engineer Wang from SAIC has already agreed. After returning, he will persuade the leader to send several technicians to help the machine tool factory train workers.

There is still a difference between automobile production and machine tool production. When making cars before, Zhou Fengnian was in charge of it most of the time, or he asked Liu Hanfei to help him.

If SAIC is willing to help, the automobile manufacturing workshop of the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory will definitely be built very quickly.

The First Automobile Works also promised Zhou Fengnian that if he needed to buy auto parts in the future, he could go to their factory and they would definitely provide him with some supplies.

Nanjing Automobile Factory also made the same promise, which would save a lot of trouble as all you have to do is purchase in bulk.

After Zhou Fengnian returned home, he played with his son for a while, then prepared some food and waited for Zhou Yan to come home.

Zhou Yan has been getting busier and busier recently. Zhou Fengnian feels that if his wife becomes a Women's Federation cadre, she will be even busier.

Thousands of families in the factory may all find the Women's Federation, and the factory Women's Federation also cooperates and communicates with the Women's Federation organizations in the street offices, and sometimes they often help each other.

After a while, it was almost dark and Zhou Chunhua came back, but Zhou Yan had not yet come back.

Zhou Fengnian felt something was wrong and decided to go out and look for it.

But just as he had this thought, he heard a door opening in the front yard, followed by a quarrel.

Zhou Fengnian rushed to the front yard and found that not only Zhou Yan had returned, but Bai Yujie and her daughter were also with her, and a man followed behind them.

Zhou Fengnian frowned upon seeing this and said, "What are you doing? Get out!"

The man realized that he seemed to be chasing too far, so he stopped and said, "Comrade, I am Wei Jiasheng from the District Organization Department."

"I don't care who you are, you've broken into my house, get out now!"

Wei Jiasheng looked a little unhappy when he heard this, but he still said, "I just want to make it clear to Comrade Yujie."

“Beep!”

Zhou Fengnian didn't waste time talking to him and blew the whistle directly. Within a few seconds, security guards with guns rushed in.

As soon as they entered the front yard, the security guard looked at Wei Jiasheng vigilantly; they knew Zhou Fengnian's interpersonal relationships, and Bai Yujie had been here several times, but this was the first time they had seen Wei Jiasheng.

"Mr. Zhou, what happened?"

Zhou Fengnian immediately said, "This person suddenly broke into my house. I don't know him and he won't leave even if I ask him to. I can only ask you for help."

"Misunderstanding, I'm not here to see you, I'm Wei Jiasheng from the Dongcheng District Organization Department"

Wei Jiasheng frowned and explained, but just as he was about to take his work ID, a gun was pointed at his head.

Being treated like this, Wei Jiasheng said in fear and anger: "What are you doing, pointing guns at your own comrades?"

One person said, "Leave here first and verify your identity with us, then we will report to our superiors!"

Another security guard warned: "Don't even think about taking anything from you, get out first."

Both of them have rich experience in dealing with enemy spies and have seen many things that make them let down their guard and then launch surprise attacks.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Wei Jiasheng suppressed his anger, knowing that he could only cooperate now, so he followed the security guard and left.

He knew that Zhou Fengnian was an engineer, but he didn't expect that he, an engineer, was protected by armed security guards.

This is not an ordinary engineer. The security personnel are not sufficient and it is impossible to protect every engineer.

"Mr. Zhou, let's go deal with it first. It's best to close the door for a while."

"Okay, I know. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Fengnian was polite for a while, and after sending the security guard away, he closed the door, then turned around and asked, "What's going on? Was that the man who wanted to go on a blind date with Comrade Yujie last time?"

This matter will definitely not be a big deal in the end. I guess after his identity is verified, Wei Jiasheng will be released.

It is also impossible for the First Ministry of Machine Building to ask the Dongcheng District Government to punish Wei Jiasheng simply because he accidentally broke into Zhou Fengnian's home. It is unrealistic.

However, a private warning is indispensable. If Wei Jiasheng commits the same mistake again next time, the Ministry of First Machine Industry will definitely inform him and have him taken back for punishment.

Bai Yujie bowed and apologized, "This is all my fault. Sorry, Zhou Yan, Fengnian."

Zhou Fengnian said: "This is nothing, we are from the First Ministry of Machine Building."

The industrial big brother is no joke. These days, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Metallurgy, and so on, which have something to do with heavy industry, are the leaders among the ministries and agencies.
