Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Chapter 125 Twist buying meat

Over the years, Shazhu, under Qin Huairu's instigation, brought some food from the kitchen warehouse from time to time.

The quantity at each time is not large, and it is not conspicuous. As long as it is carried in the pocket, it can be taken out, and the security officer of the steel rolling mill cannot detect it at all.

but.

There is a certain amount of food in the warehouse. How much is consumed every day and how much is brought in must be recorded in the account. At the end of the year, there will be an accounting.

Over the years, the deficit in the canteen warehouse has become not a small amount.

In the past, Shazhu was the chef of the cafeteria. Although he was not the team leader or director, because he had the trust of the leader, he would always be asked to be responsible for the accounting.

The leaders above generally would not deny him this face.

However, after Nanyi took over, it was natural to inventory the warehouse, and those shortfalls were discovered.

However, Shazhu had already entered the fence at that time. Nanyi, considering the face of the steel rolling mill, only reported it to the logistics section chief in charge of the canteen without making a loud announcement, so the matter was not exposed.

Nan Yi was always a very upright person, but he was very angry because of this incident. He didn't expect that Silly Zhu would dare to come to the kitchen to cause trouble, and he exploded.

The consequences of bringing in food are much more serious than bringing in leftovers. It is a piece of wool from a factory. If the security department finds out, Silly Zhu will have to go in and sit there for a few years.

Silly Zhu naturally knew this, and he withered at that time. He cupped his hands and apologized to Nan Yi repeatedly, and then ran out of the cafeteria in a hurry.

After leaving the canteen, Shazhu did not leave the steel rolling mill. He had not borrowed the money yet, so how could he leave?

Silly Zhu is waiting for someone, the most promising person to lend him money.

That person is Mahua.

Sha Zhu has two apprentices, one is Fatty and the other is Ma Hua. Ma Hua is not very old and has not been a disciple for a long time, but he is honest, honest and filial, and he has always been respectful to Sha Zhu.

The working hours of the canteen are different from those of ordinary workers. Generally, workers go to work on time. The canteen is busy for a while at noon, and the rest of the time is used to do some preparation work. At that time, the little chefs can go out.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Silly Zhu's legs were almost numb from squatting, and then he saw Ma Hua pushing a tricycle out of the back door of the kitchen.

After not seeing each other for a while, Mahua seems to be fatter than before, her originally thin face has become rounder, and the clothes she wears are no longer the tattered work clothes before, but she is wearing a blue woolen coat, this kind of clothes

It's a little cheaper than the Chinese tunic suit, but much better than ordinary work clothes. Even the silly column has not worn it.

Seeing that his apprentice seemed to be rich, Shazhu felt unhappy. When Ma Hua followed him, he was just an errand boy. As soon as his monthly salary was paid, Shazhu borrowed most of it. One of his children was born in the family.

He has a sick mother to support and three younger brothers, so life is very tight.

It's only been a few months, can you afford new clothes?

Ma Hua didn't see Si Zhu. He got on his tricycle and was about to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Suddenly his arm was pulled by someone.

Ma Hua was startled. When he saw it was Silly Zhu, he covered his heart and said, "Master, you scared me to death."

After saying that, Ma Hua frowned and looked at Sha Zhu up and down: "Master, aren't you locked up? Why are you here? Could it be that you escaped from prison?"

Ma Hua is an honest child. When he thinks that Sha Zhu has escaped from prison, his expression becomes nervous. He is not afraid of Sha Zhu, but he is hesitating whether to call the police and arrest Sha Zhu. The education he has received over the years makes him unable to

Accept that an escaped prisoner appears in front of him.

but.

Silly Zhu is his master! Although Silly Zhu has not taught him much cooking skills and often borrows money without repaying it, he is his master after all.

Mahua understands the principle that once a teacher is always a father.

Silly Zhu saw Ma Hua's eyes rolling around, and he was so angry that he slapped him on the head hard: "Boy, what are you thinking! Your master was wrongly accused, so he will naturally be released.

"

When Mahua heard this, she suddenly became excited, jumped off the tricycle, took Shazhu's hand and said: "Master, you were wronged, that's great! When the comrades from the police station came to talk to me, I didn't believe it.

Master, you are really capable of stealing things."

Although Si Zhu often fools around and treats his apprentices badly, he has a bad reputation in the steel rolling mill and has never been caught stealing anything.

Silly Zhu waved his hands impatiently and asked Mahua: "Ma Hua, the master has just come out and has no job now. Money is a bit tight. Do you have any money? Lend some to the master first, and you will pay it back when the master makes a lot of money."

for you."

Ma Hua didn't expect that Sha Zhu would ask him to borrow money. Besides, Sha Zhu had lent him a lot of money before, and he always promised to pay it back, but in the end he never paid it back.

Mahua is a filial person, but he is not stupid.

He was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master, you also know the situation of my family. I only have a small salary every month..."

Silly Zhu interrupted him and made a cold face: "Mahua, I am your master. When you came to the steel rolling mill, if I hadn't picked you to the canteen, you would still be working hard in the workshop! Before, you

When you see me, the master is more important than the master, but now that the master is in trouble, you just don’t care? Let me tell you, you can’t be so selfish!"

What else did Mahua want to say? Silly Zhu waved his hands with an impatient look on his face: "Mahua, you are wearing new clothes now, and you still told me that you have no money. If I believed you, I would be a fool."

Mahua was about to cry but had no tears: "Master, these are the clothes my wife bought for me..."

Silly Zhu was furious and his eyes widened: "Good boy, you are actually married? If I don't even tell the master, what's the use of you as my apprentice?"

Seeing that Shazhu was angry, Ma Hua could only explain patiently: "I'm not married yet, I just confirmed the relationship. The woman is from the tertiary production unit of our steel rolling mill. This dress was given to me by the girl when we got engaged."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The steel rolling mill is a large state-owned factory with nearly 20,000 workers. Adding in the workers' families, the total number of workers is more than 40,000.

In this era, 40,000 people is almost the same as the population of a small town. To support the lives of these people, the steel rolling mill has also established many tertiary industry units, such as a thermos bottle factory, an ice cream factory, schools, and movie theaters.

The tertiary industry units also play an important role in solving the personal life problems of steel rolling mill workers.

Most of the work in the steel rolling mill involves heavy physical labor, and naturally most of the workers there are male. When there are more men than women, marriage among workers becomes a big problem.

Factories in this era really regarded their workers as their own family, so it was natural for them to establish some tertiary industry units and recruit more female workers.

Silly Zhu is an old worker, so he naturally knows what the tertiary industry unit means. He curled his lips and said: "Good boy, your master is not married yet, but you are the first to do so. Are you the only apprentice who can do this? Forget it, forget it,

Don’t tell me, how much money you have on you, give it to me quickly.”

Hearing this, Ma Hua clenched her pocket subconsciously: "Master, I still have to buy groceries with the money in my pocket."

"Buying groceries?" Silly Zhu looked the mahua up and down and said coldly: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few months. Have you been promoted?"

Purchasing is a lucrative position in the cafeteria and kitchen. After all, the prices of vegetables change every day, and it is impossible for superiors to keep an eye on the buyers.

The more unscrupulous buyers will also falsely report purchase quantities, which can cost a lot of money every year.

However, the position of purchaser is generally performed by the confidant of the canteen director.

"Mahua, are you trying to please Director Liu who goes to the cafeteria?"

Ma Hua waved her hands quickly: "Master, don't you know me yet? I, Ma Hua, have always been serious about my duties, how could I try to curry favor with others. It's the new chef Nan Yi who thought I was an honest person and recommended me to the director."

Silly Zhu felt a headache when he heard Nan Yi's name. He waved his hand: "Don't mention Nan Yi to me. Just in time, you are going to purchase now, I will go with you."

"Let's go together?" Ma Hua didn't know what Sha Zhu's idea was, but he had no way to refuse this former master, so he could only take Sha Zhu to the vegetable market.

Silly Zhu jumped off the tricycle and asked: "Mahua, do you want to buy anything today?"

Ma Hua took out a list from her pocket: "Fifty catties of Chinese cabbage, ten catties of vermicelli, and five catties of pork. Our factory has been very profitable recently, and the factory leaders have decided to provide meat to the workers."

When he heard that there was pork, Shazhu's eyes flashed with emotion, but he didn't say much: "Let's go buy vegetables, the master will keep an eye on it for you."

Mahua seemed very happy when she heard that Shazhu wanted to buy vegetables for her, and rode her bicycle to the vegetable stall.

In this era, the vegetable market is a state-owned enterprise, and the vegetable sellers are also state employees. You cannot negotiate the price when buying vegetables, but if you have the opportunity, you can choose some fresh vegetables.

Si Zhu has been a cook for many years and has long been familiar with the comrades who buy vegetables. When those people saw it was Si Zhu, they gave Ma Hua the freshest vegetables without saying a word.

Ma Hua moved the Chinese cabbage to the tricycle and thanked Silly Zhu: "Master, thanks to you this time, I can buy this fresh vegetable. When I get back to the cafeteria, Master Nan Yi will definitely praise me."

Hearing Nan Yi's name, the corners of Shazhu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He smiled awkwardly: "Mahua, you are my apprentice. If I don't help you, who will help you?"

Ma Hua was so moved that she almost shed tears. He decided to lend his 2 yuan of private money to Sha Zhu later.

Although getting married cost a lot of money, and Ma Hua borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends, he couldn't do it while watching Silly Zhu suffer.

After buying the cabbage and vermicelli, the two came to another stall.

"Old Zhang, what's the price of pork today?"

"Hey, it's Master He. It's one dollar and seventy-eight cents. I can't choose."

"Look, Lao Zhang, I haven't been here for a while. Is this your attitude? Are we still friends?"

"....Well, since Master He is here, it doesn't make sense if I don't give you this noodle. How about this, I'll cut more fat for you later when I'm going to cut it."

"Hey, I know you are interesting, Lao Zhang. When I have free time, I will meet you for a drink."

The salesperson Lao Zhang took the money and meat tickets from Ma Hua, took out a butcher knife from the wall, walked to the meat shelf, and started to feel it.

The meat on the meat shelf is divided into three categories. The first category is lean meat. This kind of meat is relatively cheap. It only costs one yuan and twenty cents, and there is no meat stamp. However, because the oil cannot be squeezed out, no one likes to buy it.

The second type is fat, which is relatively expensive and costs 2 yuan per pound. It is too expensive and most people are reluctant to buy it.

There is also a kind of pork belly with alternating fat and thin. After buying it, the thin one can be used for cooking and the fat one can be used for refining oil. It is deeply loved by the masses.

But pork belly is also very particular.

If the salesperson cuts him off with one knife.

If there is more lean meat and less fat meat, the people who buy the meat will cry without tears.

There is less lean meat and more fat meat, so people who buy meat will like it.

The difference is entirely up to the salesperson.

What?

You don’t want the cut of meat?

Sorry, you have to pay the meat coupon and money first to buy meat. The cut meat will not be returned or exchanged!

The salesman Lao Zhang searched for a long time before he found a place with a lot of fat. With a flash of his knife, he stretched out his hand to catch the meat.

I picked up the scale and weighed it. It was exactly five pounds, no more, no less.

He has been selling meat for decades, cutting meat for his customers and never needs a second cut.

"Exactly five pounds, here you go."

When Ma Hua saw that there was a lot of fat on it, she was so happy that she would be praised again when she went back.

Just as he was about to reach out and take it, he was stopped by Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu looked at the salesman Lao Zhang and said, "Cut this piece of meat in half."

"Okay!" The salesman Zhang didn't think much, picked up the kitchen knife and cut the meat in half.

Ma Hua stretched out his hand to take it and said gratefully to Silly Zhu: "Master is very considerate. It's hard to put a big piece of meat. It would be terrible if someone takes it away. Cut it in half and you can put it in a canvas pocket."

.”

Silly Zhu picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bag: "What good thing are you thinking about? This piece of meat is mine."

Ma Hua did not expect that Sha Zhu would snatch the meat, and her eyes widened: "Master, master, this is the meat in the cafeteria. If you take it away, how will I report it when I get back?"

Silly Zhu couldn't stand Ma Hua's dullness the most, and said with a cold face: "Ma Hua, you should know the truth. If you work hard, you should be paid. Otherwise, you are exploiting. I bought food for you, and you are

You shouldn’t give the meat to me! If Nan Yi asks, just tell him this! I have heard that Nan Yi’s family background is not good, and he will never dare to be charged with exploitation.”

After saying that, Shazhu ignored Ma Hua, hummed with his hands behind his back and wanted to leave.

He had to quickly deliver this piece of meat to Sister Xiao Qin and help her cook a delicious meal tonight. Sister Xiao Qin would definitely thank him.

...

Ma Hua looked at Sha Zhu's back and cried without tears. He wanted to rush up and stop Sha Zhu, but he didn't dare.

No matter how wrong Silu Zhu is, he is still his master. How can the apprentice be violent to the master?

However, five kilograms of meat has now become two and a half kilograms. If you take it back to the cafeteria, Nan Yi will definitely find it.

Although Nan Yi was kind to him, he was a person who couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes.

Mahua had no choice but to take out the 2 yuan in his pocket and buy another small piece of meat.

2 yuan can only buy more than one catty of meat, which is still not enough for five catties. Mahua has no choice but to hope that Nanyi will not find out.
