Siheyuan, don't mess with me

When Li Huaide got to work early in the morning, the logistics warehouse came to report that someone had delivered six skinned wolves and fifty rabbits last night! They had already been put into storage, and asked what to do with them?

Li Huaide thought, this young man Chen Zhiguo is really awesome! He can really get things done! But the price has not been discussed, and Li Huaide can't make any moves. He can only wait for Chen Zhiguo to come over!

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door. "Hello, Uncle Li!" Chen Zhiguo pushed the door open and came in.

"Xiao Chen, come and sit down!"

Li Huaide wanted to pour tea for Chen Zhiguo, but was stopped by Chen Zhiguo. He said that he could put more tea leaves in it if he did it himself! Just kidding, it's impossible!

"The warehouse came to report early in the morning. Xiao Chen, you have worked so hard. Thank you so much!"

"It's okay, Uncle Li. It's just that the village didn't prepare much, so we can't send you much!"

"Did you say that our steel mill will need meat for a long time?" Li Huaide asked anxiously.

"I told you, I'll make another trip next week!"

"I really don't know how to thank you!" Li Huaide laughed.

"I'm also a son of a steel mill worker. It's not my duty to help!" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile, while handing yesterday's warehouse entry list to Li Huaide. It read that there were six whole wolves, weighing a total of 490 kilograms, and 50 whole rabbits, weighing a total of 508 kilograms!

"Your rabbit is quite fat!" As a foodie, Li Huaide has some knowledge about these wild game.

"Uncle Li, I'm not bragging. You will know after you eat this rabbit, it is really delicious!" Chen Zhiguo has eaten the meat of the rabbit produced in his own space. It is very tender, and is significantly different from the dry and tough meat of the original rabbit!

"Oh, then I'll try it at noon. Don't leave at noon. Stay and taste the cooking of our cafeteria chef! It's absolutely amazing!"

"Is He Yuzhu the chef in your cafeteria?"

"How do you know him? Oh! I see, you and he live in the same courtyard, I forgot about this!" Li Huaide laughed.

"Xiao Chen, I'll give you 1.5 yuan for the wolf meat and 1 yuan per pound for the rabbit meat. Do you think that's okay?" In fact, wolf meat is not that expensive, but Li Huaide couldn't let Chen Zhiguo run errands for nothing, so he had to leave some room for him!

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Li!" Chen Zhiguo didn't care, as long as it wasn't too outrageous!

Li Huaide signed the inventory receipt and filled in the price. Now he could go to the finance department to withdraw money with the receipt!

"Here, Xiao Chen, take the form and go to the finance department to get the money!" Li Huaide handed the form to Chen Zhiguo.

But Chen Zhiguo did not accept the order, but said, "Uncle Li, it is not convenient for me to go and get the money, can you help me get it?"

"This is a small matter!" Li Huaide took out a small abacus and calculated, "Xiao Chen, the total is 1243 yuan! I'll give it to you first, and I'll arrange for someone to go to the finance office to pick it up later!"

Li Huaide took out an envelope from the drawer of his desk, took out the cash from it and counted it. After counting it twice, he handed it to Chen Zhiguo, "Count it!"

Chen Zhiguo took it and put it in his pocket, "I still don't trust your Uncle Li!"

Li Huaide liked what he heard, and he laughed. He took out two peony sticks and a bag of tea from the file behind him, "This is for you!"

"Oh! So generous! Uncle Li, you are so generous! Thank you, Uncle Li!" Chen Zhiguo thanked him repeatedly. Li Huaide gave a high price, and now he did this. It has to be said that Li Huaide's skillful dealings with people give people a different feeling. He can easily become friends with you. Of course, you also have to be with his temper and please him!

"Don't leave at noon, eat here!" Li Huaide invited again.

"Uncle Li, I have a lot of things to do. My sister is coming over to school, and my father asked me to report to the street office and hire a construction team to build two east wing rooms! I came here early in the morning to finish your work and then go to work on this!"

"Oh my! This is such a big deal! You are driving to the neighborhood office now. Do you want me to say hello to you? When you are done, drive back to eat. I'll be waiting for you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Li. I know Director Wang. I just went to report it. It's not a big deal!"

"Then go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you here!" Li Huaide did not allow Chen Zhiguo to refuse and directly made the decision.

"Uncle Li, I have finished my business. It is not appropriate to drive this car anymore!" Chen Zhiguo handed the car keys to Li Huaide.

Li Huaide didn't take it, but pushed the key on the desk to Chen Zhiguo, "This car is not from the steel mill, I found it privately, you can use it with confidence, I'll leave the key with you, and the car will be yours!"

This GAZ-69 was a retired car that Li Huaide got from the army through his connections, so there was nothing wrong with Chen Zhiguo driving it. Since Li Huaide said so, Chen Zhiguo didn't hesitate and took the key. "Uncle Li, I'm going to do my work first. I'll come back when I'm done!"

"Okay! I'll be waiting for you!"

"Don't worry! Uncle Li, I will keep my word!" Chen Zhiguo said, patting his chest.

Chapter 85 Scolding He Yuzhu in the kitchen!

The work of the street office went smoothly. Chen Dayong had a land deed, and it was in his own yard. Director Wang asked Chen Zhiguo to write an application and had him sign it. This matter had been reported. All they had to do was wait for Chen Zhiguo's house to be built, and then they would come and register the location and size of the house, file it on the street, and make a mark on the land deed!

Things went very smoothly. Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Chen Zhiguo contacted the construction team introduced by Director Wang. These were craftsmen affiliated with the street office. After receiving the job, they only had to pay some management fees to the street office!

There was not enough time, so Chen Zhiguo just found someone, discussed the general requirements, and made an appointment to go to Chen Zhiguo’s house at three o’clock in the afternoon to discuss the specific price after he had inspected the site!

After finishing all this, Chen Zhiguo drove back to the steel mill in a hurry. When he met the guard, he did not forget to throw him a cigarette and thank him! Although the guard knew that he was here to see Director Li Huaide and that Chen Zhiguo was Chen Dayong's son, it was still a hassle for him to open the door for him! A cigarette and a thank you! It can warm people's hearts, right?

As expected, Li Huaide was still waiting for him in the office. When he saw Chen Zhiguo coming, he didn't even let Chen Zhiguo sit down to talk. Instead, he directly pulled Chen Zhiguo away!

The small canteen of the steel mill. Last time, Chen Zhiguo had his meal in the hall. This time, it became a private room! How should I put it? According to Chen Zhiguo's imagination, the private room should be decorated magnificently, but now he was shocked. There was no difference between the inside and the outside. It was just a room separated by a wall. It was ordinary!

The tables and chairs are a little different. The chairs outside are made of solid wood, while the chairs inside are covered with leather, which makes them softer and more comfortable to sit on! The big round table looks a little thicker than the ones outside, and is a circle larger than the round table outside!

There were only Li Huaide and Chen Zhiguo. They did not use the large round table that could accommodate fifteen people, but instead chose a small square table on the side, which was just right for the two of them to sit opposite each other!

Seeing Li Huaide enter the private room, someone quickly brought the dishes without any instructions. It seems that someone has been paying attention to this place!

There were four cold dishes, all served in small plates. The portions weren’t big, but they were enough for two people. The only problem was the presentation was a little off!

Li Huaide saw Chen Zhiguo's strange expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

“No, I just think it fits the style of the steel mill, it’s quite rough!”

Li Huaide understood instantly and pointed at the cold dish on the small plate. "He Yuzhu is just a little arrogant! I've told him so many times but he just won't listen!"

"He is just like this. If he is in a good mood, he won't even frown when you ask him to speak from the bottom of his heart!" Chen Zhiguo would naturally not give up if he could help, and took the opportunity to speak well of He Yuzhu!

"Oh! It seems that you are very familiar with him? Why don't you go and talk to him!" Li Huaide is actually quite generous, especially towards people he likes or admires. He is not petty-minded. This is very good. Otherwise, he would not have been able to dominate the steel mill for more than ten years and no one would oppose him. This would have been impossible without a bit of tolerance and forbearance!

As for He Yuzhu, he really likes his cooking skills, otherwise he would have fired He Yuzhu long ago and found another one. It’s not like there are no good chefs, it’s just a matter of what conditions can attract people!

It would be easy to transfer He Yuzhu to another canteen without firing him! He didn't do these things and continued to tolerate He Yuzhu's bad temper. That's true love for talent!

"Since Uncle Li thinks highly of me, I will go there!" Chen Zhiguo also wanted to take the opportunity to help He Yuzhu, so he agreed!

There weren't many people busy in the kitchen. He Yuzhu was busy at the stove and a kitchen helper was cutting vegetables. There was also a woman standing next to them preparing to serve the dishes. The others were in the staff canteen outside serving food to the workers.

"Brother Zhuzi! Brother Zhuzi!" Chen Zhiguo called out twice before He Yuzhu, who was busy, turned around!

"Why are you here?" He Yuzhu did not stop what he was doing, and asked while shaking the pot.

"I'm here to eat! I want to taste your chef He's cooking!"

"You haven't eaten the dishes I cook!" As usual, he started to argue when they met, but He Yuzhu soon understood, "You are not the guest invited by Director Li today!"

Chen Zhiguo nodded and said, "Brother Zhuzi, your cooking skills have deteriorated!"

"Nonsense!" If you say other things about He Yuzhu are fine, he can still bear it and maybe even smile. But if you say that his cooking skills are not good, he will be furious!

"Am I talking nonsense? Don't tell me you made those four cold dishes? Do they look decent?" Chen Zhiguo was merciless when criticizing He Yuzhu!

"I just can't stand their extravagant eating and drinking, right?" He Yuzhu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Since you don't like it and you're unhappy, you can just not cook it or serve me. What else are you cooking?"

"If I don't do it, my boss will fire me!" He Yuzhu is not stupid and knows the consequences!

"Either don't do it, or do it well. You are fooling around like this. Do you think the leaders are all fools? Can't they see it? Don't they have any opinion? You made such a dish and ruined your own reputation. What are you doing wrong?" The current Chen Zhiguo will not try to appease He Yuzhu with nice words. The last time he drank at his house, he vowed that he would take the exam and become the supervisor of the cafeteria. It hasn't been long since then, and he started to act foolishly again!

He Yuzhu heard what Chen Zhiguo said and knew that Chen Zhiguo was angry. Before he could say anything, the kitchen helper next to him stopped him and said, "Who are you? How dare you say that about my master? Why don't you go and ask about my master's cooking skills? Do you think you can say that? If you dare to say that about my master, be careful or I'll cut you." As he spoke, he put down the kitchen knife in his hand and was about to come forward.

Chen Zhiguo smiled but said nothing, looking at He Yuzhu, who was so embarrassed that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He went up and slapped the kitchen helper on the back of his head, "What are you talking about, you idiot, that's my brother, your uncle!"

Then he turned around, smiling, bowed slightly and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry! I was wrong, I will definitely change!"

The big sister who was serving dishes and the kitchen helper were almost shocked. Is this still the He Yuzhu who always complained about everything? Why does he look like a grandson?

Chen Zhiguo was unmoved and said calmly, "Brother Zhuzi, I remember that you chefs have such a rule. You are also a person who follows the old etiquette. You just cook and don't ask about the guests! Is it a rule in your chef world? Didn't your master teach you when you were a master?"

The smile on He Yuzhu's face disappeared. The elder sister and the kitchen helper beside him thought that He Yuzhu was angry and was going to fight. Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu straightened his clothes and said to Chen Zhiguo with a stern face, "Zhiguo, I was really wrong. I will definitely change!"

"That's enough! The men in Yanjing City are as good as their words. Can you keep your word?"

He Yuzhu patted his chest and said, "Yes, I must be able to do it!"

"You know you're wrong, but why don't you correct it immediately!" Although Chen Zhiguo is young now, the momentum he showed when scolding He Yuzhu completely crushed He Yuzhu's rebelliousness, leaving He Yuzhu without the slightest rebelliousness in his heart!

He Yuzhu turned to the waitress and said, "Liu Lan, please help take down those four cold dishes and tell Director Li that I was wrong. I will make them again right away!"

Is this still the silly Zhu who refuses to admit defeat? He was subdued by this guy with just a few words? Liu Lan glanced at Chen Zhiguo and turned to go to the private room. Chen Zhiguo also put the bag he brought on the table, "There is a pheasant and some roe deer meat in it. Brother Zhu, please help add a dish. You can handle the rest yourself!"

"Okay! Don't worry!" He Yuzhu glanced at the bag. There was only one pheasant, but there was a lot of roe deer meat, a full ten kilograms. Just by looking at He Yuzhu's eyes, he knew how much meat there was without weighing it!

Chen Zhiguo took out two more packets of Peony, gave one to He Yuzhu and one to the kitchen helper, "Thank you for your hard work!" This behavior confused the kitchen helper, because no one had ever thanked him. In the past, when the leaders who came to eat were happy with the meal, they would come over and praise the chef, but they had never praised themselves!

He Yuzhu looked at the kitchen helper's stupid look and stepped forward to slap him again, "Why are you in a daze? Ma Hua, why don't you thank your uncle?"

This is Ma Hua, indeed a bit stupid and stubborn character!

"Thank you, uncle master!" Ma Hua's stunned tone made Chen Zhiguo feel a toothache. This kid didn't seem to have a high level of comprehension and didn't look like an active person. How could he learn cooking well?

However, such stubborn people are indeed very honest, and their nature is not easy to change!

"You have a good apprentice, a nice and honest person, but his brain is not flexible enough. Brother Zhuzi, you have to teach him with all your heart! And be more patient!" Chen Zhiguo's evaluation made He Yuzhu look at Ma Hua differently. He originally liked Ma Hua's honesty and took him in as an apprentice to help with work in the cafeteria. He didn't expect Chen Zhiguo to have such a high evaluation of him!

Ma Hua didn't expect that the uncle whom he had just met and argued with would be so nice to him. He was so excited that tears came down, "Thank you, uncle!"

"That's enough! Learn from your master! When you have time, come to my house with your master to get to know me! By the way, Brother Zhuzi, come to my house in the evening, I have something to talk to you about!"

"Okay, I get it!"

When Chen Zhiguo saw Liu Lan coming back with the cold dishes, he said something to He Yuzhu and left the kitchen!

When he returned to the private room, he saw Li Huaide sitting there calmly. When he saw Chen Zhiguo coming in, he said, "I didn't expect that the young and inexperienced He Yuzhu would actually listen to you! You are the first one who can make He Yuzhu admit his mistake!"

"No way! He just can't win the argument with me, so I have to convince him with reason!"

"What a good way to convince someone with reason! But that requires you to be able to convince him!" As they were talking and laughing, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Liu Lan came in with a tray. Now looking at the four cold dishes, it was obvious that she put a lot of thought into them, and it was not a sloppy preparation like before!

Li Huaide gave Chen Zhiguo a thumbs up, then opened a bottle of wine. Chen Zhiguo was not driving back in the afternoon, so he grabbed the bottle and filled both people's glasses!

The first bite of braised rabbit, Li Huaide immediately doubted whether he was eating wild rabbit meat. It's not like he had never eaten rabbit meat before, but it was not so tender, and his mouth was full of meaty aroma! He took another bite, and it was still the same, really delicious!

"Is it hare?"

"Yes! Isn't it the wild rabbit you asked someone to bring over?" Liu Lan, who continued to serve the dishes, was puzzled by the question, and Li Huaide pointed at the plate of meat Liu Lan brought over and asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

Liu Lan pointed at Chen Zhiguo and said, "He led this. He Yuzhu said it was roe deer meat!"

"Zhiguo, this is wrong. I'm treating you to a meal, why are you bringing food with you?"
