Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Li Huaide took Cao Wei to the logistics department to get things.

"You kid, you're quite capable." Li Huaide took out the peony he had just opened, took one in his mouth, and gave the rest to Cao Wei.

"Hey, that's just the beginning." Cao Wei was not polite either. He put the whole bag in his pocket and thanked him with a smile: "You are so generous. I asked my master for it, but he was stingy and refused to give it to me."

"Work hard, and come to me if you run out of stuff. I don't have much else, but I have plenty of this stuff. But don't give it away to others."

"Don't worry, I won't have to. In this factory, don't everyone listen to you, uncle? Whoever I send will just go out and show off." Cao Wei raised his eyebrows, looking extremely happy.

Li Huaide smiled and nodded at him: "You, you." Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "Big Pot, can you really use it? Don't break your hands, or your master will give me trouble."

"Don't worry, uncle, I know what's going on. It just so happens that I've been practicing martial arts recently, and Da Guo just needs some exercise."

"Practicing martial arts? You, a cook, are practicing martial arts? What kind of martial arts are you practicing?"

"It's for pile workers, to increase strength, for cooks. Just like today when I was cutting those potato shreds, I couldn't cut them that fast without some strength. Compared to that, frying a big pot of vegetables is nothing."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."

The logistics department was originally Li Huaide's domain. With him in charge, getting clothes and work badges was a hassle. He even secretly gave Cao Wei an enamel cup, a thermos cup, and a fountain pen.

"This is good stuff, don't let it leak out to me."

Cao Wei curled his lips and returned the pen: "This thing is useless, I don't want it, leave it to someone who can use it."

"You kid, you don't know what's good."

"Hey, I don't need it, I can't sell it, it's my uncle, so I'm going to go back to work. I haven't worked these days, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Get out of here, you are useless." Li Huaide kicked Cao Wei unhappily.

Cao Wei didn't care and ran away laughing.

Li Huaide looked at Cao Wei's back and couldn't help but laugh. The longer he was in the ways of the world, the more he liked honest and straightforward people.

Before coming here, Cao Wei had already thought about his own personality, that is, a cook, a skilled cook, and a little proud. But this little pride is measured, making others understand his pride, but not embarrassing him. It is just the right degree.

In fact, this character is similar to Sha Zhu, but compared to Sha Zhu, Cao Wei knows how to behave. He is not like him, looking down on this and that all day long. The most important thing is his age. Not many people will doubt whether he has other intentions. He is young.

After Cao Wei came out of the logistics department, he did not immediately report to the kitchen, but went to the third canteen. After wandering around, he went to the office of the director of the logistics department to report.

When Wei Wei saw Cao Wei coming, he quickly stood up and welcomed him in: "Come on, Master Cao, there is no one else here, please sit down, please sit down."

Wei Wei was so polite, he didn't seem like an official.

"Director Wei, my uncle asked me to come to you. Please arrange a job for me. I haven't held a spatula for many days, and I feel uncomfortable all over." Cao Wei said with a simple smile.

"Don't worry, don't worry, come and have a cigarette." Wei Wei first gave Cao Wei a cigarette, not a Peony, but a Xiangshan, which was a grade lower than the Peony. The fact that he could give this cigarette showed that Wei Wei regarded Cao Wei as his own.

"Thank you, Director."

"It's like this. I still need to discuss some arrangements with you first."

"You say." Cao Wei also sat up straighter.

This performance made Wei Wei very satisfied. He was afraid of those young people who had some skills and wanted to offend the whole world by relying on their skills. I'm talking about you! Shazhu!

Cao Wei’s attitude is very good now. When they are not talking about serious matters, everyone chats and laughs. When they are talking about serious matters, they are serious when necessary.

"Master Sun, who has retired, was the mainstay of our canteen. Originally, this position was going to be given to someone else. But then Director Li said that he would go somewhere else to find a more experienced person, so the position will be vacant for the time being. Fortunately, you came. If it were any later, our canteen No. 3 would not be able to bear it." Wei Wei first flattered Cao Wei, and most importantly, he wanted Cao Wei to say more good things in front of Director Li.

"Indeed, there is a problem." Cao Wei nodded.

This time, Wei Wei can’t be dealt with at all.

No, I'm just being humble. What do you mean when you say "there is a problem" directly?

Are you so confident?

Cao Wei ignored his thoughts and continued, "My uncle said that our factory has more than 10,000 people and five canteens. Logically, there should be more than 2,000 people in each canteen, right?"

“Yes…yes.”

"But I just saw in the kitchen, preparing the ingredients. There are at most a thousand people, no more."

Wei Wei stared at Cao Wei with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief, and couldn't help asking, "How did you know?"

"Hey, we're all chefs, and anyone with an eye can tell." Cao Wei lit a cigarette and said, "Director, our canteen is having a hard time."

There are five canteens in the same factory. If everyone is doing well and there is no competition, then there must be something wrong.

Some people eat more, some people eat less. If anyone wants to improve the canteen's business, it is Director Wei Wei. If there is nothing else to say, the more things he handles, the more money he makes. But the location of the Third Canteen is not very good, and the food does not have any outstanding advantages, which has led to a serious loss of diners in the entire canteen.

"Ah." Wei Wei sighed, and got himself angry: "Brother, I won't hide it from you. Life is not easy. You are knowledgeable and experienced, can you give me some advice?"

He was Master Cao just now, and now he is my younger brother.

Cao Wei smiled and said, "I'm just a cook. My only job is to make the food. I don't care about other things. Brother, you should learn from the advanced experience of other canteens and introduce it here."

Cao Wei looked up at the wall clock and said, "Brother, it's almost time. I have to hurry up and get to work, to avoid any problems later. Brother, please make some arrangements for me."

"Ah?" Wei Wei exclaimed, looked at the clock on the wall, and reacted: "Ah, right, right, we have to arrange it first, so that the workers won't have food to eat. That's a big deal, that's a big deal."

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the kitchen one after the other.

"Damn it!" X2

They both cursed in their hearts.
