Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

In the past, He Hongchang had to make breakfast for the entire He family.

After serving the children of the He family to finish eating, I hurriedly took a bite before going to work.

Wang Weidong is no longer the licking dog he used to be, so naturally he doesn't need to serve others.

I bought two fried dough sticks at a roadside stall, drank a bowl of tofu curd, and then went to the No. 2 State-owned Canteen.

In the original work, Liu Hongchang hid in the warehouse for a long time before going to work in order to hide that he had not married his wife and was afraid of being laughed at by his colleagues.

Of course, Wang Weidong doesn't need to do that now.

He was singing a little tune and walking with as much vigor as a crab.

In the back kitchen.

Several young apprentices have arrived long ago.

They were picking vegetables and chopping meat. When they saw Wang Weidong come in, they were all a little confused.

"Hey, master, you're here so early. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Why don't you stay at home with the cat for a while?"

Liuzi was the first to speak.

He is He Hongchang's most loyal disciple and has always been loyal to He Hongchang.

Wang Weidong smiled and said: "What do you know? You just follow the master's rules for building a strong body, and you still need to rest! Go and wash out the fat intestines quickly. Director Yao will come to order later."

"Let's go now. Who doesn't know that in Ningzhou City, the master makes the best vinegar-based sausages? When people come to our canteen, they all come for your sausages." Liuzi chuckled and turned around to collect the sausages.

The kitchen also started to get busy, and as a chef, Wang Weidong seemed to have nothing to do.

Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, he turned and left the kitchen and came to Director Yao's office.

Director Yao and Liu Hongchang are brothers in the same discipline, and they have a very good relationship.

He has always thought highly of Liu Hongchang and is willing to help him with any big or small matter.

Seeing Liu Hongchang going to work so early, he was a little stunned: "Hongchang, you came so early today. Did you take the wrong medicine or did you have a fever?"

No wonder he asked this.

In the past, Liu Hongchang was just a licker. He wanted to follow He Wenhui 24 hours a day and was late for work every day.

Thanks to his cover-up, Liu Hongchang was not fired.

"It's true that I have a fever, but it's already gone!"

Wang Weidong sat down on Director Yao's desk, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to Director Yao: "Brother, how much do I owe you?"

Director Yao took it, lit it, and blew out a cloud of smoke: "It's unlucky to say this so early in the morning. You just got married and money is tight. Let's talk about money later."

"No, just give me a number so I can be prepared."

Wang Weidong looked serious.

In his memory, Liu Hongchang often borrowed money from his colleagues in order to help the He family. Among them, this senior brother was the biggest creditor.

Now that we have accepted the mess left by the original owner, we naturally have to deal with it as soon as possible.

Seeing Wang Weidong's resolute attitude, Director Yao thought that this guy had found another way to make money and made money.

A while ago, in order to help the He family, Liu Hongchang spent all his salary and even went out to set up a stall. His superiors discovered this and almost lost his position.

Director Yao opened the drawer and took out the ledger: "5 yuan on the 10th, 20 yuan on the 11th... The total is 316 yuan. What, do you have the money to pay it back now?"

Damn it, the original owner only had a monthly salary of more than 50 yuan, but he borrowed more than 300 yuan!

Wang Weidong Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "I won't have any money right now, but I'll pay it back in a few days!"

Director Yao couldn't help but smile: "You kid, you know how to talk!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Wang Weidong stood up and said goodbye. He was the chef and had to go back to the kitchen to cook.

When he was carrying it away, he said something that made Director Yao's face change drastically.

"Brother, I plan to divorce He Wenhui."

"you you..."

Director Yao suddenly stood up from his chair, and Wang Weidong was no longer in the room.

He was stunned for a long time and sat down heavily, muttering to himself: "It's better to leave..."

They say they would rather tear down ten temples than get married, let alone a newlywed couple, but the He family is really outrageous.

Director Yao attended Liu Hongchang's wedding yesterday.

Those children didn't have any tutoring at all, and they didn't treat Liu Hongchang as a brother-in-law at all.

Director Yao is much more knowledgeable than Liu Hongchang, and he can tell at a glance that those kids will grow up to be white-eyed wolves.

I have long wanted to persuade him to break up, but I have no way to say it.

Now that Liu Hongchang has awakened on his own, he is naturally very happy.

Wang Weidong returned to the kitchen and asked Liuzi to tally up all the money owed by the original owner to others. He couldn't help but click his lips when he saw the bill.

Good guy, 926 yuan!

The wages of workers these days are not high. The wages of factory workers are generally around 20 yuan. For example, if the original owner is a chef, he can only get 51.2 yuan per month.

Wages are low and prices are also low. Wheat is 18 cents and pork is 80 cents and 2.50 yuan is enough to feed a family of four or five people.

For He Wenhui, the original owner actually owed more than 900 yuan, which is incredible.

This shows how capable the people of the He family are.

It seems that we have to find a way to wipe the original owner's butt first.

....

He Family Courtyard.

Early in the morning, the entire He family was sitting at the dining table, waiting for Liu Hongchang to bring the rice out of the kitchen.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Hongchang was nowhere to be seen.

He Wenyuan couldn't sit still anymore, and she shouted loudly: "Wen Da and Wen Tao will go to school later, what happened to Liu Tou?"

At this time, He Wenhui also packed up, walked out of the back room, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll urge Hong Chang."

She quickly walked out of the house and opened the door, but she didn't see Liu Hongchang.

I was wondering in my heart, did Hong Chang forget to cook?

Of course, she didn't expect Liu Hongchang to be angry.

Because in the past, no matter how much grievances Liu Hongchang suffered, he would help the He family cook before going to work.

Erqing's mother happened to be passing by, came to He Wenhui's side, and whispered: "When I went to buy groceries today, I saw Liu Hongchang eating fried dough sticks outside! Are you two angry?"

Erqing's mother also had bad intentions. She originally planned to introduce He Wenhui to his son, but Yu Qiuhua refused.

She hated Liu Hongchang in her heart.

"Uh...really? I know about this. Hong Chang is busy today and needs to get to work early. He told me."

He Wenhui smiled awkwardly, then turned around and entered the kitchen to start cooking.

Although she looked down upon Liu Hongchang, she was even more unwilling to let others see the He family's jokes.

While cooking, she was still wondering what was wrong with Liu Hongchang.

However, she didn't care.

In past interactions, even if Liu Hongchang got angry, the anger would quickly dissipate.

He Wenhui has this confidence.

The stomachs of the children of the He family were already growling with hunger. When they saw the porridge and pickles brought by He Wenhui, they couldn't help but curl their lips.

He Wenyuan said: "Why are you doing the cooking this morning? Sister, where is the old man Liu?"

He Wenhui glanced at her mother Ye Qiuhua and whispered: "Hong Chang had something to do at work this morning, so he had to leave early. I forgot about it."

He Wentao snorted coldly: "This old man Liu is really nothing. He doesn't know how to get up early, prepare a meal, and then go to work?"

He Wenda also said Liu Hongchang's was wrong.

They actually disliked the food cooked by He Wenhui as not delicious. Can He Wenhui's cooking skills be compared with the chef in the second cafeteria?

Hearing the quarrel between her sister and brothers, He Wenhui also felt that what Liu Hongchang did today was too unfair.

It seems that we need to find time to have a good talk with Liu Hongchang, so that he must not have the idea of ​​relaxing after getting married.

In the end, it was Yu Qiuhua who picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the bowl, stopping the He family from criticizing Liu Hongchang: "Before Hongchang came to our house, it was your sister who cooked. You enjoyed the food very well at that time. Why, now?"

Too much to eat?"

Everyone in the He family was afraid of Yu Qiuhua, so they could only pick up the bowl and drink the tasteless gruel.

Yu Qiuhua gropingly picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth, but he still didn't take a sip.

He Wenhui could deceive those children, but she couldn't deceive Qiuhua. She knew that Liu Hongchang must have had a disagreement.

It seems that if you wait for two more days, you really need to persuade He Wenhui.

....

Second canteen.

The second dining hall was full of guests. Everyone tasted the vinegar-based large intestine made by Liu Hongchang and praised it full of praise.

“Spicy and sour, refreshing and bright in color, this large intestine is truly amazing!”

"Master Hong Chang's vinegar-cooked large intestine is a specialty of Er Canteen. What's all the fuss about?"

"Hey, you're wrong. I was here just two days ago eating the intestines, but they weren't that delicious."

"That's right, in the past, although Chef Hong Chang's fried large intestines were good, they were not on the table. Today, this one can be compared with the ones at Guobin Hotel."

...

Director Yao, who was inspecting the hotel, felt a little strange when he heard this.

Although he is now the director and no longer has to be a cook, he also knows that one's cooking skills are improved over time.

You can't just learn how to cook today and cook a banquet tomorrow.

Stir-frying is a systematic project, which is affected by a series of factors such as the configuration of seasonings, control of heat, stirring of the spoon, etc.

The same ingredients, stir-fried by a novice chef, are completely different from the dishes stir-fried by a top chef.

...

Director Yao wandered to the back kitchen and saw Liu Hongbin sleeping on the grain bag. Without making a sound, he walked to the pot stand where the plates were placed.

When Liuzi, who was cooking the pot, saw Director Yao coming, he was so frightened that he opened his mouth to call Liu Hongchang.

Sleeping during working hours is a serious violation of discipline and may lead to criticism.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Director Yao covered it. He put his finger up to his mouth and made a 'shhh' sound.

"Don't disturb him, bring the chopsticks and let me have a taste."

"Ah~uh~" Liu Zi handed the chopsticks to Director Yao anxiously.

At this time, he was extremely scared. Liu Hongchang had always been kind to him, so if he was really criticized, he would feel bad about it.

But Director Yao was right in front of him, and even if he was given the courage, he would not dare to say anything.

Director Yao ignored Liu Zi, took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sausage and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing twice, his eyes suddenly widened.

This taste is amazing!!

As a former chef, Director Yao is much more cunning than those old gourmets.

He immediately tasted this vinegary pork sausage and it had reached its peak.

When the teeth cut into the large intestine, it was smooth, elastic, and slightly crunchy.

Even if the master is in his prime, he can only get promoted to this extent.

How did Liu Hongchang do it?

Director Yao put down his chopsticks, strode up to Liu Hongchang, grabbed his collar, shook him a few times, and woke him up.

Looking at the hazy-looking Liu Hongchang, he asked eagerly: "Hongchang, how did you do it?"

"What?" Wang Weidong was still a little confused.

"Large intestine, vinegar large intestine, how did you achieve that level?"

"Ah~" Wang Weidong finally came to his senses.

Isn't it just a plate of vinegar-coated intestines? It's worth making a fuss about.

He is also a thoughtful person and knew that it must be his own behavior that alerted Director Yao.

Then just find a suitable reason!

Wang Weidong grinned: "Brother, I have an epiphany."

"Epiphany?" This time it was Director Yao's turn to be confused. Can such a thing as cooking be an epiphany?

However, after thinking about it, he seemed to have heard of someone who had reached a bottleneck in his cooking skills and had not made any progress for several years, but then his cooking skills soared overnight. This should be the epiphany in Hong Chang's mouth.

After thinking clearly, Director Yao patted Wang Weidong on the shoulder: "Good enlightenment, good enlightenment! From now on, there will be another strong general in our second cafeteria."

He was worrying about the banquet that was going to take place in the next few days. The guests at that banquet were all the top managers of state-owned factories and mines, and it was said that there were also big shots from the south.

The boss designated No. 2 Canteen to receive the reception, but Director Yao knew how seductive the No. 2 Canteen was and was worried about screwing up the matter. Now that he saw Liu Hongchang's epiphany, he felt a little more confident.

Wang Weidong doesn't know this, and even if he does, he doesn't care. With his current cooking skills, he is more than enough to be the chef of a state hotel.

Patted Liu Hongchang on the shoulder: "Brother, lend me some more money."

"....What are you borrowing money for?"

"I remembered that I haven't been home to see my mother for a while, so I'm going to buy some things. Don't worry, I'll return them to you in two days."

Wang Weidong's face turned red with shame when he said this.

The original owner gave all of his monthly salary to He Wenhui, and now he only has 50 cents left.

In order to marry He Wenhui, he had fallen out with his mother Wang Cuilan and his brother and sister-in-law.

Even so, my brother Liu Yunchang still sent me 1,000 yuan as a share.

The Liu family's life was not easy either. This 1,000 yuan was enough to wipe out all the money they had.

There is such a loving family, but the original owner actually abandoned them for the sake of the whole family, which really broke his head.

Director Yao also knew about the Liu family's affairs, and he was very happy to see that Liu Hongchang had turned back as a prodigal son.

He took out 50 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Hongchang's hand: "I'm giving this money to you. I haven't visited my aunt for a long time, so you can buy some delicious food for me and send it to you."

"Then I won't be polite!" Wang Weidong doesn't need to be polite to Director Yao.

Anyway, when the time comes to pay him back, just give him more.

The chef's job is very simple, as long as the taste of the dishes meets the taste of the guests, so it was just two o'clock in the afternoon, after the guests left, Wang Weidong was free.

"Liuzi, when Director Yao comes to check on me later, you will say that I have diarrhea."

"Don't worry, master, Director Yao won't check your position!"

Liuzi saw with his own eyes how popular Liu Hongchang’s vinegar-based sausages were.

This is a cash cow for Er Canteen!
