Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

I really don't know what to do!

......................

Hearing Lao Li's words, Zhao De felt a warmth in his heart.

This person genuinely cares about him.

However, his next thought made him start to ponder it in secret.

The steel rolling mill has more than 10,000 workers, so naturally there are many canteens.

Zhao De and his colleagues from the sixth forging workshop all ate in the second canteen.

Sha Zhu was in charge of cooking at the No. 1 canteen, and Yi Zhonghai's fitter workshop also ate at the No. 1 canteen.

Now Zhao De is gradually coming to understand.

The problem is that the workers from the first canteen are eating at the second canteen.

However, their per capita food ration is still at the first canteen.

The second canteen only has a limited amount of food, so the supply is naturally insufficient.

As a result, those who didn't have a share of food got their share, while those who did get a share didn't get enough to eat.

The root cause of the matter can be traced back to Sha Zhu.

......................

This guy brings back at least two lunchboxes every day.

Sometimes there are even as many as four or five.

And the food he took away wasn't just a random portion!

A lunchbox weighs at least two or three kilograms.

Based on this calculation, he takes away at least four or five kilograms a day.

Each month, it weighs over 100 kilograms, and a year it weighs over 2,000 kilograms.

If this continues, it will definitely cause big trouble.

Remembering how Sha Zhu had tried to teach him a lesson at noon, Zhao De couldn't help but sneer.

It seems we should have Lao Li go and report this situation to Director Yang.

Let's see how Sha Zhu will bring his lunchbox home from now on.

Will the Jia family still be able to live such a comfortable life?

Chapter Seven: He Yuzhu is in trouble!

"Old Li, are you worried about the cafeteria?"

Hearing Zhao De say this, Old Li was slightly taken aback:

"How did you know?"

Zhao De replied with a smile:

"Old Li, you can wear this on your sleeve."

Old Li sighed helplessly:

"Alright, since you figured it out."

"Indeed, I'm having a headache over the cafeteria situation."

"But you can't help with this, so don't worry about me."

...................

At this point, Lao Li was unaware that the real source of the problem was Sha Zhu, but he would soon find out.

"Old Li, your big pot dishes are really good."

"But you don't think that's why they all came here, do you?"

Zhao De knew that Lao Li and Sha Zhu were both level eight chefs in the factory.

Old Li is good at cooking large pot dishes, while Sha Zhu is skilled at cooking on a small stove.

"Dezi, just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush with me?"

Old Li sounded a bit irritated, after all, he was worried about the cafeteria problem.

"Alright, I'll just get straight to the point."

Zhao De didn't beat around the bush.

He told Lao Li directly about Sha Zhu shaking the spoon and taking the lunchbox home.

......................

Sure enough, as Old Li listened, his eyes widened more and more.

"really?"

He still couldn't believe it for a moment.

Because in their second canteen, especially after Lao Li repeatedly emphasized that it was forbidden.

No one dared to shake the ladle, let alone take public food home.

There is an unwritten rule in the culinary industry.

It means that working in the cafeteria allows you to prepare your own meals.

But it is absolutely forbidden to bring public property home.

This was true even before liberation, in any employer's household.

It's normal for Lao Li to be surprised.

......................

Sha Zhu is so bold as to openly take away so many things. Isn't he afraid of dying?

"That's definitely right! Sha Zhu and I live in the same courtyard, and I know his affairs better than anyone else."

"Think about it, he takes away at least four or five pounds a day."

"It weighs one or two hundred kilograms a month, and it adds up to more than two thousand kilograms a year."

"And it wasn't just him; almost everyone else in the cafeteria stole."

In this day and age, taking public property is a major taboo.

Previously, a child was sent to a juvenile detention center for several months because he took a pig's tail from the government.

This clearly demonstrates the seriousness of the matter.

Zhao De recalled the plot of the original work and continued:

"Sha Zhu dared to do this because Director Yang had promised him."

"He is allowed to take home the leftovers from entertaining guests."

"But he took that promise as a golden ticket."

"He staged this farce and made us take the blame."

......................

After hearing Zhao De's words, Old Li's anger flared up instantly.

"Oh! So we've been cleaning up after Sha Zhu all along."

He did not question Zhao De's words.

First of all, their relationship is what it is.

Secondly, Zhao De had lunch with Director Yang and others in a small private room.

It was very likely that they learned of this situation at that time.

"Dezi, I'll remember this."

"I'll go report to the deputy director now, and then I'll go see the factory director."

"That idiot Zhu is really too much, he doesn't do anything good at all!"

Watching Old Li leave in such a hurry, Zhao De couldn't help but smile.

This time, Sha Zhu is probably going to be in trouble.

He also realized it was time to buy a car.

Not only is it convenient for daily travel, but more importantly, its reputation has now been restored.

It's time for him to get married.
