Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Moth! Moth! Quick!"

Xu Damao rushed into his house in a hurry.

Lou Xiao'e was just catching up on her sleep when she was woken up, her brows furrowed.

Xu Damao entered the house and saw that Lou Xiao'e was not there, so he went into the bedroom.

Then I saw Lou Xiao'e with sleepy eyes.

"You are amazing. It's already past three in the morning and you are still sleeping? I paid the cook, but you don't even think of eating more?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard what he said, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Are you okay? If not, I'll go back to sleep."

"Tsk, you seem to be looking better."

"Don't give me that. What's the matter?" Lou Xiao'e's heart skipped a beat but she remained calm.

"Hey, do we still have that at home?"

"Are you short of money again?" Lou Xiao'e pulled back the quilt and got out of bed: "Xu Damao, I haven't asked for any of your salary in these years. Tell me, how many times have you asked me for money? You're almost spending all the money I brought with me, right?"

"Just this time, the last time, if you give me another yellow croaker, I'll give you a promotion this time. I promise to make sure you have delicious food and drink well in the future!" Xu Damao promised, patting his chest.

Lou Xiao'e:......

The popular drink is spicy?

She didn't know where Xu Damao got his confidence from.

I sighed secretly in my heart, but when I thought about it again, I thought of Cao Wei.

"Then go out and I'll get it for you. This is the last time!"

"Hey, okay, okay, hurry up. I won't be going home for dinner tonight. The factory said they want to reward the heroes. Let me tell you, I have made a great contribution this time."

"Come on, come on, come on. Wait until you get promoted and then we'll tell you whether you still want it or not."

"You take it, you take it." Xu Damao walked out of the room. As soon as he left the room, his cheerful smile disappeared. He turned around and glared at the room, muttering, "What the hell?"

After waiting for a while, Lou Xiao'e took a big yellow croaker and put it in his hand.

"My dowry has been used up, and there will be no more for next time." Lou Xiao'e did not tell him that there was no need to give something like yellow croaker as a gift. In fact, even if she said it, Xu Damao would not believe it, so she could only let him do it.

"Okay, I'm leaving. You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight." Seeing that he had got the things, Xu Damao rushed out in a hurry.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's hurried back and sighed slowly.

I went back to my room to catch up on some sleep.

Steel rolling mill, three canteens.

"Master Cao, Director Wei just came to see you. You should go to his office right away." Cao Wei had just come back from a stroll when Master Zhang told him that Wei Wei had come to see him.

Wei Wei also has a small office of his own.

The structure of the logistics department of a steel rolling mill is extremely complex.

In addition to the materials needed by the factory, the food in the canteen is also a huge expense. The canteen director of each canteen needs to count a lot of things every day. Wei Wei's office is next to the warehouse of the third canteen. On weekdays, everyone jokingly calls Wei Wei the "warehouse manager."

Wei Wei was a person that Cao Wei found quite comfortable to get along with.

He is one of those guys who is good at dealing with people.

As for his superiors, he stood firmly on Li Huaide's side. As for his subordinates, such as Cao Wei, who were capable, he would provide convenience as much as possible. He was not harsh on ordinary employees. Of course, as long as you did your job well, he would be easy to talk to.

He saw clearly that the people in the cafeteria had no conflict of interest with him, so there was no need for him to do those annoying things.

The warehouse manager's office was not closed.

Cao Wei knocked on the open door.

Wei Wei glanced up, raised his head, and gestured with his chin for him to sit down.

Cao Wei walked over and Wei Wei threw a cigarette over to him.

"Why not give me a box?"

"Hey, Lao Cao, please have some shame. I don't have many cigarette coupons."

"Look, look, it's just a joke, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Go away, go away. I don't want to joke with you. I asked you to come here for two things." At this point, Wei Wei paused and said, "Go and close the door."

"Oh." Cao Wei lit a cup for himself and said something sarcastic while closing the door. "No one comes to your place on weekdays."

Wei Wei put down the work at hand and lit a cigarette for himself: "Come or not, be careful, it's always right. I asked you to come over for two things."

"First thing, do you plan on taking in a disciple?"

Cao Wei frowned slightly: "I'm still young..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Wei interrupted him: "If you don't want to accept it, I won't say anything. But I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to accept one or two."

"What? Is someone from above coming?" Cao Wei understood.

"No, the factory is going to expand." Wei Wei whispered, "Come to think of it, it's a coincidence that recently a lot of workers have come to our third canteen to eat. The big pot dishes you cook are really good. I thought the kitchen might be a little overwhelmed, so I went to talk to Director Li about transferring more people over, and it would be good to have a few temporary workers."

"Who knew that it wouldn't matter if I didn't go, but once I went, Director Li told me that our steel mill was going to expand."

"What does this have to do with me accepting a disciple?"

"With the expansion, the current cafeteria will definitely not be enough. There is a high probability that some people will be transferred from the original cafeteria. For example, Chef Li from the third cafeteria will probably be transferred there. There will also be a wave of personnel changes in the third cafeteria."

"What does this have to do with me accepting a disciple?"

Wei Wei;……

"I said, can't you wait for me to finish speaking?"

"You say, you say, hehe."

"I heard that the scale of the expansion is going to be quite large, and more people will come to our place. Director Li wanted me to recruit more people first, and it doesn't matter if there are more people. I also went to the trade union."

"So the idea of ​​me accepting disciples came about." Cao Wei understood.

In this era, the people who accept disciples are not those with connections, but those who are in trouble.

Being a cook in a place like a steel mill is not a good choice.

Whether you can find a master or not is another matter. The salary of an apprentice is lower than that of a worker. If you can't find a good master, you will be given a three-year apprenticeship and three-year service. This will cost you nearly ten years of your youth. If you are a bit more evil, he will only teach you how to cook a big pot of food. Then you are doomed. You can only be a tenth-level cook, the lowest level, for the rest of your life.

Unless you are willing to transfer to an administrative position.

For example, Master Li mentioned by Wei Wei wanted to transfer to the new canteen, probably just to give it a try. He was transferred to an administrative post, which was not a regular post, but a temporary canteen supervisor. It was considered a reserve for the canteen director.
