The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Director Li, I've asked Sha Zhu to cook! Please wait a moment, I'll pour you a glass of water and sit down, it will be ready soon!"

When Li Huaide took Li Wenqiang to the small cafeteria, Wang Dawei ran to the door and reported with a nod and a bow. After that, he poured two cups of tea from the teapot next to him and brought them over.

"Do you have any dishes you like? You can order a few and let Sha Zhu cook them. Although he's not a good person, he's a good cook!"

Li Huaide smiled and said.

Li Wenqiang didn't take it seriously. He had eaten a lot of delicious food before, and Sha Zhu's cooking skills were only about the same as those of the street stalls.

The reason why it tastes good is simply because it contains a lot of salt, oil and flavor. In this age of food scarcity, being able to cook with oil is a luxury. So how can you say that dishes made in this way are not delicious?

Of course, it can’t be said that I have no skills. I do have some skills, but that’s all.

"Whatever, I don't care, just do whatever is in the cafeteria!"

Li Wenqiang sat down and said casually.

"Okay, then you can ask Sha Zhu to cook a few of his signature dishes, such as twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken, boiled fish fillet, and stir-fried kidney. Let him handle the rest on his own!"

Li Huaide ordered four dishes without hesitation. According to him, there would be at least four more dishes left, because there were usually six to eight dishes on the table, or ten or twelve. Good things come in pairs, so an even number is the standard. However, Li Huaide had already ordered four dishes, so the rest would probably be one dish and one soup.

After Wang Dawei went downstairs, he told Sha Zhu the dishes his leader wanted.

"Bah, damn it, two people want to eat so well, aren't they afraid of choking to death?"

Sha Zhu spat and said indignantly.

"Silly Zhu, what are you talking about? Are you disobeying the leader's instructions? What do you want to do? You should know that you still have a warning on you! Do you believe I will punish you again?"

When Wang Dawei heard what Sha Zhu said, he immediately said with dissatisfaction. There were so many people in the cafeteria, if someone spread the news to the leader, he would be in trouble in the future.

"How can I do that? Obey, absolutely obey! I'm just complaining a little! Just wait, I'll do it for you right away!"

After hearing Wang Dawei's threat, Sha Zhu immediately nodded and said.

"Complain casually? You can say that about your leader casually? Remember this. Next time I hear you say something bad about your leader, I will punish you. Do you understand?"

Wang Dawei said to Sha Zhu arrogantly with his hands behind his back, feeling very happy.

"understand!"

Sha Zhu smiled and accompanied it with a smile.

"I understand. Hurry up and don't keep the leader waiting too long! I'll be waiting at the door. Call me when you're ready!"

After scolding Sha Zhu a few more times, Wang Dawei walked to the door comfortably and lit a cigarette.

"Fuck you, a bunch of bastards. They only ordered four meat dishes, and they're not afraid of getting too full! Ugh!"

After Wang Dawei left, Sha Zhu couldn't help but curse him harshly at his back.

After that, he spoke to a few people who were free in the cafeteria.

"Don't just stand there, didn't you hear what Wang Dawei said just now? Why don't you hurry up and clean up the dishes? You are really a lazy donkey pulling a millstone, which won't turn until it's pushed!"

After venting his anger to the people in the cafeteria, Sha Zhu obediently started to clean up the house.

"Comrade Wen Qiang, do you think this is okay with my hospitality?"

After the others left, Li Huaide looked at him with a smile, and Li Wenqiang was a little puzzled.

"Sure, I'm not picky about food, just be as you like!"

"That's good. I have something I would like to ask you for help. Is it convenient for you?"

Li Huaide looked at Li Wenqiang with a smile on his face, which looked like he had bad intentions. No one knew what he was thinking.

"I was wondering why you invited me to dinner for no reason. It turns out you were waiting for me here! Tell me, what's the matter? Tell me first. If it's difficult to do, don't tell me. I'm a coward and can't do big things!"

Li Wenqiang had told him about it in advance, so he had a clear idea of ​​the situation.

"Don't worry, I believe you can do it."

Li Huaide looked at him with a smile, not knowing where his confidence came from.

After saying that, he immediately continued.

"I know you have a special relationship with Director Cui of the meat processing plant. Next month is Labor Day. Our steel rolling mill will hold a skills competition to assess everyone's professional skills and hold an employee dinner. At that time, many leaders from higher-level departments and sister units will come to learn.

With you here, we have no shortage of food, oil, and vegetables, but we have all worked so hard for so long, I hope you can get us some more meat so that we can eat well. I would like to ask you to help us put a word in with Director Cui, and ask him to give us a little more pork at the end of this month. What do you think?"

Li Huaide said with a smile.

"This? Director Li, this is not easy to handle! You know, it was you who introduced Director Cui to me! You found the wrong person!"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile, rejecting his request lightly. The life in the steel mill is good enough now, with no shortage of grain and oil, and you still want to eat meat. What if the leaders find out that you eat so well and become psychologically unbalanced?

"Hey~! Don't be so quick to refuse! If it's hard to do, then it can be done, right? So, if you have any requests, just ask. If I can help, just tell me!"

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he took out another envelope from his pocket, placed it on the table and slowly handed it over.

"What do you mean?"

Li Wenqiang looked at the envelope and said.

"It's nothing, just a small token of my appreciation. You have already hired dozens of people, right? I guess you haven't prepared a lot of bills yet. These are my small tokens of appreciation. Please accept them."

Li Huaide said lightly.

Li Wenqiang picked up the envelope and took a look. It contained some daily bills. After a rough look, there were no less than two hundred bills.

"Boss, how can I feel good about this? But since you've said this, I have to help you with this matter based on our relationship. But I don't think he can give you too much, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.

How about this? I'll help you look for it somewhere else later. I'll make sure you don't lack anything by then, so that every worker in the factory can have a bite of fat meat. How about that?"

Li Wenqiang tapped his fingers on the table and said.

"Unplanned supplies? No problem, but the price can't be too high, otherwise there will be too little money in the account and it will be difficult to explain to the higher-ups!"

Li Huaide thought for a while and said.

"No problem, I will definitely give you a discount. But Director, I have helped you so much, do you want to help me too?"

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Wenqiang looked at him with a smile, with a gleam of "wisdom" in his eyes!
