Chapter 2: Getting to Know Lou Xia'e

g into the water if they are from a dry household, right That's something Xu Damai, that scoundrel, would do. I wouldn't!""You're right about that, hey! I didn't realize you had such awareness!"He Yuz...Hearing that Ma Hua had been chopping vegetables for over a year, He Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction and beckoned him to the stove. Pointing to the cabbage and radish beside him, he said: "I say, you fry it, follow the steps. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your ability!"

Although we live in a new era, learning to cook is still a time-consuming endeavor these days.

After entering the apprenticeship, it takes two years to learn how to handle the dough, three years to learn how to cut the noodles, and another two years to become an assistant chef before you're qualified to be head chef. I've only been cutting noodles for a year! My master is truly looking after me!

Seeing that his master was about to teach him the real skills, Ma Hua's eyes welled up with tears. He gratefully said, "Master, I will definitely not disappoint your cultivation!"

Who at the factory doesn't know their master chef is skilled Anyone who learns even a trick or two, let alone bragging about it to everyone during festivals, would be enough to make them proud!

He Yuzhu nodded: "Study hard, you will all eventually graduate and become skilled. You must not disgrace your master's name."

A portly man who was cleaning the edges immediately scurried over to the master with a mop, diligently working and flattering him. “Master, please rest assured, we will learn wholeheartedly!”

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Well done! You are all my good apprentices. Work hard, you won't be left out! Fatty, go get me another cup of water!"

Because he was familiar with the original plot, He Yuzhu also knew that this fat man in front of him was not a good person. The reason why he kept staying by his side and putting on a show was because he wanted to learn a few tricks from him.

It doesn't matter, clear water has no fish. He Yu Zhu didn't think about cutting ties with this person right now.

I'm already short-staffed, so there's no need to turn him away just because he came offering his help. Besides, didn't he report to me before that Xu Damao was making a scene outside

If we can make good use of such people, they could also have a surprising effect, wouldn't they

........

"Alright, that's about it. From tomorrow on, I'll watch you stir-fry once a day. When you're qualified, I'll hand over the responsibility of this big pot of food to you."

After giving the Malaysian worker a slight hint, He Yuzhu let him understand for himself. Big pot meals are just like that - as long as they aren't cooked too badly, the workers in this factory can't really complain.

I don't have the energy to spend all day on this communal cooking. It's time to delegate, and this is a good opportunity for the MCA (馬華) to get some experience. If the times change and I decide to enter the food industry in the future, having this apprentice will come in handy!

Ma Hua was overjoyed. He never expected that after only a short time following He Yu Zhu, he could become the boss here in this state-owned enterprise.

Go home and tell everyone about it, you'll be the talk of the town!

He turned his head and gave the envious fat man a couple of instructions, asking him and Liu Ran to clean up the mess in the cafeteria before they got off work. Then, He Yuzhu picked up his lunch box and swaggered out of work.

The good thing about being a cook is that when there are no customers, everything is organized and tidy. Leaving work early isn't a problem either. Hmm, thinking about it, this life isn't bad either. No mortgage payments, no coworkers constantly competing with you, plus food and clothing are taken care of. It's definitely better than 996, right

As soon as he thought of this, He Yuzhu's mood inexplicably brightened. Humming a little tune, he happened to meet Xu Damai who was also pushing his bicycle out the factory gate.

This grandson immediately beamed and rushed over, exclaiming, "Look at my bike! It's issued by the factory! Not only do I not need a ticket, but I didn't spend a penny!"

He Yuzhu glared at him: “So, you’re abusing public resources You have the nerve to say that you’re not taking advantage of the public!”

Xu Damai, having hit a snag, was not discouraged. He sneered and said, "Don't be stupid! My car isn't used for nothing. Tonight, I'm going to show a movie at Hongqi Commune! They'll treat me to good food and drink there, and I'll even have beautiful widows vying for my attention! Let me tell you, ten yuan! If I come back and don't see the money, don't blame me for getting Liu Zhuanchang to deal with you!"

He Yuzhu, upon hearing this, did not get angry. He bent down and picked up a red brick from the side. With a "hey" he slapped it with his palm.

In a flash, the brick was split in half by him. He casually tossed the remaining half aside, clapped his hands, and said lightly, "Next time I hear you call me Shizhu, that's what you'll become!"

Looking at the neatly arranged red brick pieces on the ground, Xu Damai was dumbfounded. Grandma's, when did this guy learn such a skill

If it were me, taking this palm would be...

Xu Damao was so frightened that he shivered, swallowed dryly, but still forced himself to remain calm and said: "Silly... He Yuzhu! Don't argue with me here! It's illegal to beat someone for no reason! There are security guards standing over there right in front! Haven't you had enough of the lesson from noon Anyway, Liu Zhuan is here as a witness, I tell you, if you don't come up with ten yuan later, I won't let you go!"

After he finished speaking, the boy immediately hopped on his bike and rode away. He was so afraid that his legs felt shaky underneath him. He almost fell flat on his face!

Looking at Xu Damai's embarrassed back, He Yuzhu couldn't help but touch his chin. No wonder the protagonist in the original drama had to constantly clash with this person. This kid is really annoying! He even secretly plays tricks behind people's backs. Well, since you came looking for trouble, I have to give you a lesson!

Although the weather is hot right now, I'm still very willing to put a custom-made green hat on Xu Damao!

Besides, Lou Xiaoe gave birth to a big son for the protagonist in the original script. This is quite authentic!

........

Having made up his mind, He Yuzhu didn't rush back to the courtyard immediately. Instead, he turned and went to Dongzhimmen vegetable market first to buy five cents worth of meat. This year, pork was seven mao per jin and required tickets, but being able to buy meat for five cents was already considered a generous expense among ordinary people. Just Xu Damai cheated his ten yuan, it would be enough for the three big masters' family in the front yard to buy two years' worth of pork!

Since I arrived late, the butcher stalls at the market only had some lean meat left. Ordinary people would definitely not be willing to buy it, thinking that it was too lean, and tough to eat. However, He Yuzhu didn't care. After all, he has a system on hand, isn't that right

After buying the meat, He Yuzhu slowly walked back to the courtyard.

Although Dongzhimen Market isn't too far, back and forth takes quite a bit of time. I should really get myself a bicycle someday, otherwise getting around on foot is exhausting!

But this trip was definitely worth it. After all, without this piece of meat, how could I find an excuse to get in touch with Lou Xiaoya later something delicious.The way his mom went ballistic and beat him up last time, this kid thinks about it now and gets chills.Jia Zhang was just as upset, but now Qin Huairu had stood up for herself and...
