Chapter 7 Kitchen Report
Director Liu took Ma Hua into the kitchen of the canteen. It was around eight o'clock. The kitchen was sitting and preparing for work. More than ten people were washing vegetables in the kitchen, and others were kneading dough, both men and women.
There was only one person sitting in the back kitchen with a big porcelain vat, drinking tea comfortably, chatting and laughing with everyone, without having to do any chores. This person was the canteen's chef, He Yuzhu, Shazhu.
He Yuzhu was wearing a sweater, beige brown, without a coat. It should be because he was in the kitchen with a stove fire, so the temperature was not as cold as outside. He was sitting on a wooden chair with a large teapot in his hand.
A small handful of broken tea leaves were brewed in the porcelain jar issued by the factory. It was very bitter and not really delicious. Silly Zhu was listening to Liu Lan, the assistant cook, chatting about the latest gossip news in the factory, with a smile on his face.
We exchanged a few words of greeting from time to time and were chatting happily. Suddenly, out of the corner of our eyes, we caught sight of Director Liu and Ma Hua walking in. They stood up quickly, went to greet them, and said with a smile.
"Hey, Director Liu, why would I bother you to come to the kitchen in person? If you need something, just give me an order and I'll go find you!"
Director Liu looked at Silly Zhu with a playful smile and rolled his eyes. He was not angry at all and just laughed and cursed.
"Go, go, go! I don't know your silly temperament. You can say nice things, but you are as stubborn as a donkey. I have never heard of you. I am not the one begging you!"
Silly Zhu laughed. Although Director Liu complained about Silly Zhu's stubborn temper, he had a good relationship with Silly Zhu and took care of Silly Zhu on weekdays. Of course, this was also related to Silly Zhu's superb cooking skills. Every time there was entertainment in the factory, he would
Thanks to Director Liu's reputation, he received many compliments from the factory leaders.
"I'm not going to argue with you. I'm going to bring someone here for you. This kid is Ma Hua. He is sixteen years old. He will help in the kitchen in the future. His father is a worker in our factory. He was involved in a fight a few days ago.
He passed away unexpectedly. He took his father’s place as a worker and came to work in our steel rolling mill!”
Director Liu grabbed Ma Hua's arm, pulled him in front of Shazhu, and introduced the origin of Ma Hua.
Silly Zhu glanced at the immature Ma Hua, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He was so young, and he looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Ma Hua himself looked a bit young, so he looked one or two years younger than he actually was, and a little thinner.
This actually made Shazhu frown a little and said softly.
"This child looks too thin. What can he do?"
Director Liu frowned, glared at He Yuzhu, and said sternly.
"Why, you don't want this child. Yi Zhonghai from your courtyard personally asked me to arrange it in the kitchen. If your kid doesn't take care of him, don't blame me and Yi Zhonghai for complaining. Let him talk to you personally!"
Silly Zhu is not targeting MCA, not the person, but the kitchen seems to be easier than the workshop, but it is also very tiring at the end of the day. There are thousands of workers in the entire steel rolling mill, but there are only a dozen people in the kitchen, so there are so many preparations.
Even if it's just a few big pot dishes, people have to be busy all day long, and people with weak physical strength can't do it at all.
When Silly Zhu heard what Director Liu said, he quickly grabbed Director Liu who was about to turn around and leave. With an exaggerated apologetic smile on his face, he reached out and slapped his mouth gently, without even making a sound, and said with a smile.
.
"Director Liu, it's my fault, my fault! You don't remember the faults of villains. Please spare me this time. For your sake, how dare I not take care of this child? Don't worry, put him in my care."
In just a few months, he has been raised strong and strong, and he is definitely a great young man!"
The relationship between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai is different from others. He Daqing and his widow eloped to Gansu, leaving He Yuzhu and He Yuyu behind. The two brothers and sisters depended on each other. At that time, Sha Zhu was about the same age as MCA today, and He Yuyu
He was only about ten years old, and his life was extremely difficult.
If it weren't for the daily care of Yi Zhonghai and his wife, they wouldn't have been able to survive those difficult days. This is why Shazhu was willing to provide for Yi Zhonghai in the future. When he heard that Ma Hua was the person arranged by Yi Zhonghai, he immediately became close to her.
It's just that Silly Zhu is very good at things, and he always sticks to Director Liu, which gives him enough face. Silly Zhu also knows the world of people very well, otherwise how can he be a chef? You must know that their chef profession has great rules, no matter it is
Whether you are studying under a master or going to the host's house to help prepare a banquet, you must understand the rules and etiquette.
Director Liu looked at the flattering He Yuzhu, knowing that what he said was false, he still nodded with great satisfaction, turned to Ma Hua and said.
"MCA, this is Comrade He Yuzhu, the chef of the cafeteria. From now on, you will work under his hands. Don't look at his every formality, but his skills are strong. If you can learn from him in the future, it will be enough for you.
I won’t have to worry about food and clothing in this life!”
No matter what time of year, God will never die of hunger for craftsmen and cooks, as one of the oldest craftsmanships, has always ensured harvests despite droughts and floods since ancient times. There will always be people who need them. Although Silly Zhu only gets thirty-seven and a half yuan a month in the factory.
, equivalent to a second-level fitter, plus a few years of service, but there are often private jobs to do. Whoever has a wedding or funeral, Si Zhu can get a few yuan in red envelopes every time he goes there.
The food he bought was enough to cover his salary for half a month, and he was nourished. Otherwise, how could Shazhu have the ability to help Qin Huairu's family.
"Don't worry, Director Liu, I will learn from Master He!"
What Ma Hua said was sincere. He had no plans to achieve great things in this life. Before reincarnation, he had sealed all the knowledge and wisdom he had learned in order to prevent the memories of previous lives from affecting the present and being detrimental to his understanding of the world of mortals.
, so these words are extremely sincere. He has never been a cook, and experiencing a life that is different from the past is also a kind of accumulation and enlightenment for him.
Director Liu looked at Ma Hua and Shazhu, nodded, and then left the kitchen. He did not want to waste too much time and just wanted to introduce them. Ma Hua would naturally be familiar with other things.
After Sha Zhu and Ma Hua sent Director Liu away, Sha Zhu turned to look at Ma Hua. After all, thinking that he was young and had a crush on Yi Zhonghai, he gave a few words of advice.
"You can't do any heavy work now, so you should start with Liu Lan and help wash the dishes. When the cafeteria opens, go and help with the dishes!"
"Liu Lan, Ma Hua will leave it to you to take care of him first, so that he can get familiar with the work of the kitchen!"
Liu Lan responded, walked up to Ma Hua with a smile, took Ma Hua aside, sat directly in front of the basin, and asked him to wash the vegetables together.
Chapter completed!
