Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 69 Deaf Old Lady

Jiang Chen brought over the hot dishes, then brought out bowls, chopsticks and two wine glasses and put them down.

He Yuzhu took a look and said, "Oh, you're living a pretty good life. After thinking about it, I took advantage of you."

Originally, the quality of his lunch box today was particularly high, so he was thinking of letting Jiang Chen give it to him as well.

I never thought that the quality of their food was not bad.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Didn't you bring some wine?"

The wine was the loose wine he made.

The taste is definitely not as good as Erguotou, but it is cheap and strong enough.

Silly Zhu is a level 8 cook with a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan.

Eating with a lunch box basically costs nothing. On weekdays, except for He Yuyu going to school and smoking and drinking, he doesn't spend much money. His life is pretty good.

After sitting down, He Yuzhu poured it for the two of them: "This is your first glass. I wish you a promotion. From now on, you will be the leader!"

Jiang Chen raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Aren't you also a leader?"

He Yuzhu sighed: "My family knows my own affairs, and I am only a cook, so I am not a leader. Apart from my own disciples, I don't even have anyone to give orders."

The two of them touched the quilt lightly and took a sip.

Don't tell me, this bulk wine tastes pretty good.

Jiang Chen said: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

He Yuzhu picked up the fried meat and took a bite: "Hey, your meat is well fried and delicious. I didn't expect that your cooking skills are so good. You must be at level six, right?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "That was fried by your sister He Yuyu. She happened to meet her on Sunday and showed off her skills. This is the third meal today, otherwise it tastes better."

He Yuzhu was stunned: "How is it possible? On weekdays, at home, she can only cook potatoes, stewed cabbage or something late after I get off work. How can she be so capable?"

He wouldn't be surprised if Jiang Chen knew his sister.

After all, the penthouse where He Yuyu lived was separated from Jiang Chen's house by a wall.

But if He Yuyu had such high cooking skills, he wouldn't believe it even to death.

The two of them live together every day, and they have never seen He Yuyu cook. This ability cannot fall from the sky.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Then you have to give her a chance to show off. Prepare the ingredients and everything."

Just potatoes and cabbage, not even oil, what else do you want others to cook for you.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Forget it, she should study hard now!"

Anyway, I don't believe that He Yuyu has such high cooking skills.

The two of them were drinking when Yi Zhonghai came: "Hey, are you drinking?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Master, why are you here too?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "You are right, you can come, but I can't come?"

Jiang Chen asked: "Yi Gong, would you like to have a drink together?"

Although Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu'e's master, everyone had his own merits, and he did not involve Yi Zhonghai in his grudges with the Jia family.

Just live your life, but there is no need to be overly aggressive and look at everyone as your enemy.

Even if the courtyard is full of hands, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, such as Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Okay, you can have some wine. I've already eaten the meal."

Jiang Chen stood up and brought Yi Zhonghai bowls and chopsticks: "Eat whatever you want. There are so many dishes today that we can't finish them all."

After simply eating some food and taking a few sips of wine, the first man asked: "Xiao Jiang, you are really secretive. If it weren't for today's broadcast, I wouldn't even know you work in the steel rolling mill."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Hey, it's all about the trust of the leader."

Yi Zhonghai said: "What's going on in your training department? Can anyone really learn so much in one month and be promoted to level five?" Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't come to Jiang Chen's house to drink. It was to determine whether Jiang Chen was the deputy director of the Engineering Department who was just mentioned today, and to inquire about the training department.

Jiang Chen said: "The training department gathers all workers who need to learn and conducts unified, planned, and systematic training so that they can master relevant production skills faster and improve their proficiency."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment after hearing this: Is it so powerful?
  This is not surprising. Some words that were commonplace in later generations and everyone could say a few words in them now sound extraordinary like the farts of gods.

Even Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan would secretly praise themselves after hearing this, let alone Yi Zhonghai.

As for Silly Pillar, just listen.

Yi Zhonghai asked a few more questions, and after getting the answers he needed, he did not continue to ask further questions.

A few people drank for a while, and when the bottle of wine was bottomed, they went home.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to drink, but Yi Zhonghai said it wouldn't affect his work the next day, so he had to give up.

The elder is one of the few people in this courtyard who can make him control his temper.

After Yi Zhonghai left Jiang Chen's house, he thought about it for a while when he returned home, then asked his aunt to load a bag of flour and go to the backyard.

Whenever he couldn't make up his mind, he would go to the backyard and visit the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady was in her seventies, with most of her teeth missing, and her face was covered with deep wrinkles, like a dried apple.

The whole face is full of vicissitudes of life.

Whenever Yi Zhonghai couldn't make up his mind, he would come here to ask for advice and always get inspiration.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai come in, the deaf old lady looked up and then lowered her head: "Are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai put down the white noodles in his hand: "Here he comes."

The deaf old lady said: "What are you doing with white flour again? I haven't finished the last one yet."

If you really think about it, this courtyard house may be the most comfortable place for him to live.

No need to run around outside, no need to worry about food and clothing.

He also occupies three large rooms in the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "If I bring it to you, you can eat as much as you want, no need to save."

The deaf old lady said: "As an old lady, I can eat as much as I want."

"I'm just a little hungry for meat lately. When can you ask Silly Zhu to come over and give me a meal of soft, warm meat?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "Ah, you old lady is quite naughty."

"Okay, I'll go find Shazhu tomorrow and cook you a big, soft meal."

The deaf old lady grinned: "Sure, I'll just wait."

"By the way, come to me, are you okay?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "There is indeed something wrong, Jia Dongxu, he got into trouble!"

Then, he told the story of Jia Dongxu being caught stealing steel parts.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "Dongxu, this is someone else's way!"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned: "Can't you?"

The deaf old lady smiled and said: "Don't you think about it, does the security department randomly check everyone's backpacks when they get off work? Why didn't the security department check others, just Jia Dongxu?"

"Nowadays, workers have a high status. If it is not necessary, the security department will never want to get involved. If one person is not handled well, it is easy for him to get involved."

"But this time not only was it checked, but it was actually found. Using an abnormal method, it is obvious that someone is behind this matter."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while: "What the old lady said makes sense."

The deaf old lady said: "Remember carefully, has Jia Dongxu offended anyone recently, especially the leaders in the factory?"
