Chapter 19: Wait for Me, You Pillar

too, He Yuzhu shouted at the door of Xu's house: "Lou Xia'e! Lou Xia'e! Do you have any nails Lend me some!"The house fell silent for a moment, then Lou Xia'e poked her head out and frowned, "Yes, th...Although Liu Lan wasn't a paragon of chastity, her relationship with Li, the deputy factory manager, was born out of necessity.

Let's not beat around the bush, without this person, I wouldn't be sure if I could have gotten permanent employment at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill back then!

Every family has its own difficulties. My husband isn't exactly a saint; he drinks, gambles, and chases women, though I'm not that much better myself. He just expects me to give him money and never helps around the house. Even something as simple as turning over an overturned soy sauce bottle is too much to ask. And when he drinks too much, he even gets physical with me.

Besides, her daughter was still babbling, and her father-in-law had died early. Her mother-in-law was ill every month and had to go to the hospital to collect medicine and decoct soup. With her husband's character like this, Liu Ran thought that if she stayed a widow for him, it would be better to buy some pesticides and feed them all, so they could go on the road together and finally be at peace!

Seeing that she had strong opinions about Liu Limin, Deputy Factory Manager Li chuckled and said: "What are you talking about Liu Limin hasn't made any principled mistakes now, and Master He hasn't even come out to point fingers. How could I get involved"

She slapped his hand away as it reached inside her chef's uniform. Liu Ran snorted, "You know what you're doing! That Liu isn't a good man!"

Deputy Director Li twitched his lips. Does this even need saying After today's incident, whenever there's a chance to take Liu Limin down a peg, he wouldn't need anyone to remind him, he would definitely not hold back one bit!

Well, gee whiz, this dough is really soft.

"Go, close the door."

"Are you crazy"

"Didn't you have lunch today"

"Look at you!"

.........

When He Yuzhu returned to the back kitchen after submitting his expenses report to the logistics department, there was no one left at the window cooking. Ma Hua, Fatty, and several other cooks were busy clearing things out of the inside.

He Yuzhu walked to the edge and asked, "How is the feedback from the workers today"

I don't know if it's nervousness or busyness, Ma Hua is sweating all over his head. Seeing He Yuzhu coming, he hurriedly said: "Master, until now, no one seems to have come up with any suggestions!"

He Yuzhu nodded, patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "That's good! You should put more effort into this big pot of food in the future."

That's how big pot meals work, just filling your stomach. As long as the taste isn't too awful, not many workers will bother arguing with you about it.

By this time, Fatty had already presented the porcelain teacup filled with hot tea to He Yuzhu: "Master, did Liu Director give you any trouble"

When Liu Limin attacked He Yuzhu, this kid didn't say a word. Mainly, he knew in his heart that between his own master and the director of the cafeteria, one was more powerful. If He Yuzhu really offended Director Liu to death, as his apprentice, his life wouldn't be easy afterwards.

So even though Ma Hua and Liu Ran stood up to speak up for He Yuzhu, in front of the entire kitchen staff, Fatty didn't say a word.

But things are different now! Just now when Liu Lan came back to help with the cooking, she said it sincerely. This time, after Xiaoxiao finished cooking, even the factory director and secretary praised their chef for being capable!

Director Liu is capable, but compared to the factory director's secretary, he pales in comparison!

His own master, Mang, was a bit reckless, but as long as he got the approval of the factory director and secretary, even if Liu, the department head, was upset, he'd have to hold it in, right

Just serve the master well, who knows one day when he's in a good mood, he might even take me to meet the leaders at the factory!

He Yuzhu took a sip of tea and glanced at the fat man, smiling: "I can't say for sure about this. We'll see how things go this afternoon. Maybe tomorrow I'll have to clean the toilet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Ran walked in carrying a stack of dishes: "Don't worry, Factory Manager Li just passed by and told me. He said you, Master He, should focus on the small stove. You can let anyone else cook the big pot dishes. Anyone who has an objection should go report it to him personally."

Liu Ran wishes the kitchen could have more reception tasks. Things are different now compared to before, at least she can get some benefits each time, and those are real profits!

Hisssssssss...........

Hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but gasp. Master was about to explode!

He immediately stood up and declared his loyalty, saying: "Master, don't worry! Next time that Liu fellow comes looking for trouble again, this fat guy will be the first to refuse!"

Seeing this, Liu Ran glared at the boy: "Now you know this is your master Why didn't you do it earlier"

The Hakka man also chimed in with disdain: "It's just a matter of circumstance. Back when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, you would have been at least half a traitor!"

The fat man shrank his head, he also knew he was in the wrong. He mumbled softly: "I was just scared by him before...."

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "Alright, these are just minor things, there's no need to argue. On my way here just now, I heard the workers from Workshop One complaining that someone is treating people differently when serving food, saying that they look down on others. This is very bad!"

"I know that when you guys are cooking, there's bound to be times when things aren't even. Don't get me wrong, this is something I used to do all the time too. But now I've thought about it, we're all workers, and if we constantly nitpick about everything, it's just not cool!"

“So here I want to announce one thing, from now on, no matter what the other canteens are like, we here will not be allowed to shake our spoons when serving food. I will post this notice tomorrow and let all the workers supervise. If I catch anyone doing it, there will be no excuses. Whoever gets reported once will be responsible for kitchen sanitation for a week. Did you hear me”g, this number seems wrong, didn't we agree on three yuan"Because he had drunk a little too much, the host's face was flushed now. He grasped He Yuzhu's hand and said gratefully: "Master He, you are t...
