Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

On this day, Xu Huizhen received a letter from Xikou Village. She opened the letter and saw that it was written by the eldest son of the village chief. The content was as follows:

Sister Huizhen, my family and I miss you so much.

The weather is getting warmer, and the fishing boats in the village go out to sea every day to fish. We can't eat all the fish and shrimp that are jumping around. This is the season when Spanish mackerel return, and schools of Spanish mackerel swim through our sea area, and they return with full loads every day.

My mother made big buns stuffed with Spanish mackerel, which were so delicious that you would drool and want to swallow your tongue. My father asked you to come visit us and bring some seafood for the family.

Sister, the roast duck you brought us last time was so delicious. We couldn’t eat enough. I’m drooling just thinking about it.

Looking forward to your coming soon!

Xu Huizhen laughed after reading the letter. She probably added the last part about roast duck by Dashuanzi himself. His father would kick him if he knew. At Quanjude on Qianmen Street, a roast duck costs 3.8 yuan with a ticket and 6.7 yuan without a ticket. Without a ticket, an ordinary worker can buy three roast ducks with a month's salary.

Children from ordinary families don’t dare to ask for roast duck casually. That is the behavior of a prodigal son. If you don’t get beaten, who will?

After reading Shuanzi's letter, Xu Hui was ready to go again. But she still had some concerns. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. She often went to Tianjin, and if she went there for a long time, it would cause problems. To be on the safe side, she wanted to make it legal.

After the renovation, Sihai Restaurant reopened. The public manager Cao Dongyang played an indispensable role in the prosperity of Daqianmen Bistro. The subdistrict office decided that Cao Dongyang would also serve as the public manager of Sihai Restaurant, as capable people should be given more work.

After Fan Jinyou recovered from his injury, he was like a piece of stinky dog ​​shit. No unit would accept him, and in the end he could only work as an ordinary staff member in Sihai Restaurant.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. No one in the restaurant treats him well. Because of Fan Jinyou's stupid behavior, Sihai Restaurant suffered a great loss. During the period of closure for renovation, the employees' wages were reduced by half. Personal economic interests were involved, and everyone vented their anger on Fan Jinyou.

Therefore, Fan Jinyou was assigned to cook in the back kitchen. I have to sigh that the world is changing fast. There is no way, this person can only talk big, a giant in words, a dwarf in actions, and he can't do anything else.

There is no need to say much about Fan Jinyou's frustration. Only he who drinks the water knows whether it is hot or cold.

Xu Huizhen called a small meeting of all the employees of the tavern, and Manager Cao also attended.

Xu Huizhen said: "I have a distant cousin who is from Tianjin and lives by the sea. The kelp and salted fish used in our canteen, and the dried shrimp and dried shrimp sold in the tavern can be bought cheaper there. I want to go there, because even a small amount is meat, so I'd better save as much as possible. At the same time, I can also bring some cheap seafood to everyone. I've thought about it, and I can use the money I save to give some benefits to everyone during the New Year and other festivals. What do you think?"

Manager Cao expressed his opinion first: "I think it's okay. During this period, everyone has been very enthusiastic about their work and has worked very hard. Our socialist distribution principle is: more work, more pay, less work, less pay, and no work, no pay. It's also appropriate to give out some benefits to encourage everyone's enthusiasm for work!"

The braised food in the canteen was selling well during this period, and Xu Huizhen was also very good at dealing with people. At the end of the month, she gave everyone 4 yuan in overtime pay.

Don't underestimate these 4 yuan, it is enough for one person's living expenses. Occasionally, everyone can take some leftovers home in turn. The employees who have tasted the sweetness also expressed their agreement.

Zhao Yali said: "Manager Xu, you have to work hard. I will give you some money later. Please help me bring some seafood. I have many children, so no matter how much food we have, it is not too much."

Ma Liansheng: "It's not easy for any family, we share the good times and the bad times together."

Xu Huizhen asked: "Everyone, I'm buying supplies for our tavern, isn't that considered speculation?"

Everyone shook their heads like rattles: "No, absolutely not!"

Manager Cao now admires Xu Huizhen and fully supports her. He said: "In addition to the fixed supply, large enterprises have some rights to purchase independently. Although our tavern is small, it is also a public-private partnership. Why can't we purchase independently? However, when you buy, don't buy from private hands, buy from the village collective. In this way, we are public to public and it is not considered speculation. Let the village issue you a certificate so that we can do the accounting."

Xu Huizhen: "Okay, I'll write down the decision we just discussed and have everyone sign it. If someone makes trouble or makes irresponsible remarks in the future, I'll have a basis to say that this was a collective decision."

Zhao Yali said: "We all know that Manager Xu is doing this for everyone's good, and no one will find fault with him."

Xu Huizhen: "It's better to take precautions before they happen. Come on, everyone sign. It's the season for Spanish mackerel to be on the market. I'll leave tomorrow. Let's wait and enjoy the seafood."

When everyone heard that there was seafood to eat, they all smiled.

"Okay, okay. Thank you for your hard work, Manager Xu." Everyone took the initiative to sign. In this way, Xu Huizhen once again boarded the train to Tianjin.

This time, she didn't bring Li'er with her. Li'er had grown up and didn't like to sleep as much as before. She was afraid that she would cry if she kept her in a room for a long time. Xu Huizhen left some milk powder for her and asked Hu Yingzi to look after her at home.
