Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 144 Poor Ran Qiuye

At noon that day, the brother-in-law of Director Li of the factory office came to the cafeteria and found He Yuzhu.

Director Li's brother-in-law is called Zhao Bo. His father is a powerful figure in the family, but he is now in a semi-retired state. This Zhao Bo used to be a gangster in Sijiu City. Later, when he got older, he entered a company to eat and drink. die.

Now that Director Li has taken power at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, he has been transferred to his side and given a temporary position in the Finance Department. To put it bluntly, he is helping Director Li make money.

This Zhao Bo was very arrogant in front of others, and rarely looked at the other person. However, after Zhao Bo found He Yuzhu, he was no longer so arrogant, but said very kindly: "Master He, why are you late today?"

What Zhao Bo was talking about was that He Yuzhu came to work late today and was a bit late.

"Ah!" He Yuzhu also apologized quickly: "Chief Zhao, I'm really sorry. There is something going on at home. This morning, the street, the police station and our security department all went to my house. Are you searching for money at my house?"

"Searching for money?" Zhao Bo was a little surprised.

At this time, He Yuzhu laughed: "It's my neighbor Xu Damao. We haven't dealt with each other since we were young. I used to sell roasted seeds and nuts in front of the cinema. He said that I was stealing chickens and wasted money. He thought I made a lot of money and followed him. People from the security department searched my home, trying to find the money.

But you also know that selling roasted seeds and nuts costs a few cents, just to supplement the family income. How can you make money?
In the end, nothing was found, but Xu Damao said that my money was kept in the houses of my two sisters, and then he called people from the security station and people from the street, and searched again and again.

As a result, nothing was found.

Aren't I a little late?

Please rest assured, Section Chief Zhao, I promise it won’t happen again. "

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Bo was speechless: "You are really unlucky. That neighbor of yours is really nothing." After saying that, Zhao Bo swallowed, because he originally wanted to say, The second uncle of your courtyard is not a good person either. You were originally from the technical department, but he forcefully transferred you from the technical department back to the canteen.

It's just that the words came to my mouth and I choked back. After all, it's better not to say some words.

He Yuzhu smiled at this time and asked: "Come here, Section Chief Zhao, is there a small stove at noon?"

"Oh yes, yes. I almost forgot about the business. I came here to tell you that a very important person will be here at noon today. This person loves Sichuan cuisine very much. You must show off your Sichuan cuisine today to satisfy the other party. " Section Chief Zhao warned.

He Yuzhu nodded and smiled: "Chief Zhao, you can rest assured. I will make sure that that important person eats and drinks well."

"I feel relieved as long as you are here. If it were Master Yang, I would really feel a little nervous." Zhao Bo smiled slightly, then patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said: "If you need food, just go and get it, as long as the Red Star Rolled Steel You can take whatever the factory has.”

"Okay, okay!" He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

He Yuzhu's current cooking skills have actually gone through systematic training. Just two years ago, after He Yuzhu maxed out his fitter skills, he once again acquired a skill called the Eight Major Cuisines.

The so-called eight major cuisines are Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine.

Each cuisine is divided into eight stages. It takes [-] happiness points to light up one stage. Now He Yuzhu has ordered Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. He Yuzhu has reached the level of a master in these two cuisines.

Other cuisines have basically achieved success.

This time the important person likes to eat Sichuan food, which is exactly what He Yuzhu wants.

So after Zhao Bo left, He Yuzhu quickly called Master Yang and the two began to actively prepare the dishes. After He Yuzhu prepared to make this important person delicious, he asked Director Li to do him a favor.

So for this small banquet, He Yuzhu had to put in 12 points of energy.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, couple's lung slices, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, Dongpo pork elbow, Liao pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, strange-flavored chicken, steamed beef with rice flour, Mapo tofu, tripe hot pot.

He Yuzhu tried his best to bring out classic Sichuan dishes one after another.

You don't need to guess to know that the most important person was eaten in the end. While eating, he praised and said that the chef of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was extraordinary, and finally asked to meet the chef He Yuzhu.

Director Li also hurriedly asked his brother-in-law Zhao Bo to invite He Yuzhu over.

When He Yuzhu heard that the other party actually invited him over to talk, he already knew in his heart that it must be his food that made the other party enjoy the meal, so he quickly followed Zhao Bo into the small banquet hall.

After entering, He Yuzhu saw the middle-aged man sitting at the main table with a kind smile. He knew without guessing that this should be the distinguished guest mentioned by Director Li.

Of course, the distinguished guest mentioned by Director Li must not be a good person.

Seeing He Yuzhu come in, Director Li introduced with a smile on his face: "Comrade Shen, this is Comrade He Yuzhu, who is also the director of the canteen of our Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant. All the dishes today are cooked by Comrade He Yuzhu himself."

"Oh, Comrade He Yuzhu, thank you for your hard work. The Sichuan food on this table must have been prepared with great pains. It tastes really good. I wonder if Comrade He Yuzhu is interested in following me to our canteen."

Comrade Shen looked at He Yuzhu with a smile and asked.

Director Li's face changed slightly. He did not expect that Comrade Shen actually wanted to poach He Yuzhu. Only now did Director Li know how precious He Yuzhu was. If such cooking skills were poached, then Li The director will feel distressed.

Fortunately, at this time, He Yuzhu smiled: "Comrade Shen, you really praise me too much. I am good at Sichuan cuisine. I know nothing about other cuisines. Our Director Li has always looked up to me and let me I have gone from being the canteen squad leader to the current canteen director. This is a gift from acquaintance, and I must repay it."

He Yuzhu didn't say whether he would go to Comrade Shen's canteen, but He Yuzhu emphasized Director Li's kindness to him. The meaning was very simple. Director Li had the final say.

"Oh, I've known for a long time that Director Li is a good judge of people, and today I saw that he really has a very accurate vision!" Comrade Shen laughed.

Director Li quickly laughed modestly: "No, no, Comrade Shen, mainly because Master He is too nostalgic, but whenever Comrade Shen wants to eat Sichuan food, I will definitely ask Master He to come and serve it. You do.”

"Really?" Comrade Shen looked at He Yuzhu with a slight smile and asked, "It's just whether Comrade He is willing or not." "Yes, yes!" He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Of course I am willing to cook for Comrade Shen. Yes, as long as Comrade Shen doesn't dislike it, I'll be here at your call."

"it is good!"

Comrade Shen showed a happy smile.

Perhaps because he was happy, Comrade Shen also toasted He Yuzhu with a glass of wine. He Yuzhu drank the glass of wine in one gulp, and Comrade Shen also shouted "Hello".

Then He Yuzhu walked out of the banquet living room. After a while, Zhao Bo came, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Master He, you did a good job this time, cooking this Sichuan cuisine.

Comrade Shen said, your Sichuan food is the most delicious, by the way. My brother-in-law said, from now on, you can stay in the canteen with peace of mind, no one dares to touch you.

I also told my brother-in-law what happened in the morning. My brother-in-law said, this Xu Damao is not a good guy. Just ignore him. He will warn Liu Haizhong. He just plays the piano randomly. "

"I don't want to get involved in Section Chief Zhao Xu Damao's affairs, but I really have something to ask for your help with." He Yuzhu said, taking out ten unity sheets from his pocket and stuffing them into Zhao Bo's pocket.

They are all human spirits. Zhao Bo felt the thickness and knew it was about 100 yuan, so he smiled broadly and said: "Master He, you are too uninformed. What are you talking about? If I can't do it, I will help you." Go talk to my brother-in-law."

"Chief Zhao, actually it's not a big matter, it's just a small matter.

There is a teacher named Ran Qiuye at Hongxing Primary School in our steel rolling mill. She is the daughter of the former English class teacher at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. This time the English class teacher was audited by the superiors and this teacher Ran Qiuye may not be able to become a teacher.

Why don't they be sent to our canteen to work as part-time workers and undergo labor re-education?

You see, you must help them. I have no control over their adults' affairs. However, after all, we have just met each other, so I can't really just ignore them and teach them in the cafeteria under my nose.

I feel sorry for you and me. "

"Ah, that's it. Don't worry, I can take care of it. It's not a big deal. I'll give you a transfer order later. You can go find Ran Qiuye in person and just transfer him here!" Zhao Bo said It sounds like a trivial matter.

Seeing Zhao Bo's dismissive look, He Yuzhu also smiled and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you very much. You have done me a big favor. In the future, I will be worthy of my teacher."

"Okay, I'm leaving first. I'll find someone to deliver the order." Zhao Bo smiled happily, touched the 100 yuan in his pocket, and felt even better.

Watching Zhao Bo walk away, He Yuzhu also felt relieved. God helped me. Fortunately, he returned to the cafeteria, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to save Ran Qiuye.

The public toilets in Sijiucheng in the 60s were dirty.

And cleaning toilets is not just about cleaning public toilets. The most painful thing is transporting and digging public toilets.

Because there were no sewers in the toilets in Sijiucheng at this time, cleaners needed to clean the toilets with their hands.

The work of excrement workers is very hard. They work in toilets with excrement scoops and transport excrement in excrement cans, buckets and excrement trucks every day.These feces collectors work more than 15 hours a day, going to various toilets in Sijiu City, cleaning out the filth with their hands.

The cleaners have no days off and work every day, 365 days a year. No matter whether it is windy or rainy, the cleaners push the trolley out. He first goes to the door to clean the toilets, and then goes to Guang'anmen, Yaogezhuang, and Xiaojing areas every day. A round trip of [-] to [-] miles, pushing a dung truck to transport it with difficulty.

The cleaners have to go back and forth on this route four times a day to clean all the toilets, and can only earn less than 4 yuan per month.

For a long time, there were many public toilets in Sijiucheng, which were extremely poorly managed and dirty. Feces froze in winter and stunk in summer. The toilets were dilapidated, messy, few in number, and unreasonably distributed.

It was not until the 80s that higher authorities decided to build a number of well-equipped, high-grade public toilets in important tourist attractions, main streets, and key areas.

Among them, the indoor height is 3.7 meters, equipped with heating, lighting and ventilation equipment, beautiful and elegant lighting fixtures, squat-type porcelain toilets, 1.80-meter intervals between squatting stools, doors and partitions, large hanging bucket urinals, and terrazzo or Marble partition boards, first and second class public toilets equipped with infrared induction pedestal wash basins, hand soap dispensers and infrared induction hand dryers.

"Ouch!!"

With retching sounds, Ran Qiuye kept vomiting on the side.

She had just been taken to the public toilet of Hongxing Elementary School by a janitor aunt. Just as she was preparing to clean it, an aunt rushed in. She didn't even care about the people inside. She took off her pants and started gushing!

Suddenly, the stench in the public toilet was overwhelming!
Ran Qiuye ran out and retched.

After retching a few times, the cleaning woman behind her frowned and cursed: "You are too squeamish, how can you do this? You can't stand this little smell, how will you carry the excrement bucket in the future? .

You must know that the smell of this dung bucket is even stronger.

You are here to receive an education, and you are not allowed to be squeamish at all. You don’t know that in this public toilet, whenever it rains in the summer, the rainwater will enter the toilet, and the feces and urine will overflow.

It's easy to go to the toilet, and we often step on feces. We don't have any shoes to change into, so we can only continue to work in a daze.If you want to talk about hygiene here, it's really impossible to talk about it.

Ouch, my life is so miserable, why did you come to find me! "

"Ah!" The words of the cleaning lady scared Ran Qiuye out of her wits. She didn't know how helpless she was at this time. She didn't know why she had to suffer all this.

Obviously a month ago, I was still a teacher at Hongxing Elementary School, happily spending time with my parents. Why was it like this now?

Now Ran Qiuye doesn't know where her parents have gone, and she doesn't know what she will do in the future. Her home is gone. The superiors only gave her a suitcase and arranged for her to live in the cleaning team. There is nothing there, but a bed.

Now Ran Qiuye has lost everything, lonely, helpless, scared, panic, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, slowly Ran Qiuye's tears fall, from sobbing to breaking down and crying, Ran Qiuye is unable to vent his bitterness.
