Chapter 28: Conflict over price increase in cafeteria dishes.

Because Section Chief Ma brought some people to eat for free today, He Yuzhu did not eat enough.

How can a chef go hungry?

So He Yuzhu got up from the bed, went to the stove and started to get busy.

He Yuzhu took out two king crabs from the system.

This thing tastes delicious, only needs to be steamed before it can be eaten, and it is large in portion and can satisfy your hunger.

He steamed a king crab in a pot, cracked the shell of the remaining one and took out the crab meat, then added some chili peppers and stir-fried them casually twice, and it gave off bursts of delicious aroma.

At this time, everyone in the courtyard had already fallen asleep, but the delicious food still made them sleep restlessly.

The food was not very good back then, and some people even went hungry.

He Yuzhu can eat king crabs, but most people can't afford it.

After a while, bursts of fragrance spread throughout the courtyard.

Many people were attracted by the fragrance, and even those who had fallen asleep were awakened by it.

Qin Huairu was woken up by Bang Geng beside her, "Mom, mom, do you smell that fragrance? I want to eat it too, I'm hungry..."

The other families were not much better. They were all complaining and feeling extremely greedy.

"Who the hell is this? Can't we sleep when they release poison in the middle of the night?"

At Yan Bugui's house in the front yard, Yan Jiecheng tightened his waistband, his face full of tears.

"Damn it, He Yuzhu is cooking delicious food in the middle of the night, is he going to let us have our way?"

He Yuzhu was unaware of the reactions of the people in the yard.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't be worried. With He Yuzhu's fist as big as a sandbag, I don't think they would dare to disturb him.

After all, he is eating at home, what does it have to do with you?

Therefore, everyone could only curse, complain, and get angry silently in their hearts.

The next morning, He Yuzhu and the old lady had a simple seafood porridge. Just as he was about to go to work, he found that the eyes of everyone in the courtyard were full of resentment when they looked at him.

He Yuzhu pretended to be confused, but Yi Zhonghai said, "Zhuzi, can you not cook in the middle of the night? It's keeping everyone awake all night!"

I was drooling with greed and couldn't sleep at all.

He Yuzhu glanced at him and said, "What does it have to do with me if you can't sleep? If you're hungry, just go buy some."

"You can't blame me for the good food at my place! Can you be reasonable?"

At this time, Qin Huairu came out and saw He Yuzhu approaching with a smile, obviously wanting to ease the relationship with He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu avoided her like a plague god. When he saw her approaching, he immediately walked away.

When he arrived at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, He Yuzhu saw Ma Hua practicing his knife skills at the stove. He nodded with satisfaction, then found a stool and crossed his legs.

As time passed, the bell for work at the Red Army Steel Rolling Mill rang and everyone began to get busy.

Everyone in the cafeteria also began to prepare today's lunch.

He Yuzhu came to the blackboard of the restaurant with his hands behind his back, looked at the price on it, thought for a moment, and started to make changes on it.

The others were a little nervous after seeing this. Liu Lan stepped forward and asked, "He Yuzhu, is this a good change? Will the workers not buy it? If this gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone. Why don't you go and say hello to Deputy Director Li first?"

He Yuzhu shrugged indifferently, "Why do you think I increased the price? It's because we already use more salt and seasoning than usual, and our canteen has always been losing money. I changed the price just because of Deputy Director Li's idea."

"Weren't you there that day? How could you not know that this was what Deputy Director Li meant?"

"You are the sous chef now. Don't worry about these things. Just cook your dishes well. I will take care of the rest."

Liu Lan went back to work embarrassedly.

He Yuzhu raised the prices of all dishes today, but left two dishes unpriced.

However, He Yuzhu told others to just cook these two dishes the same way as before.

Time passed quickly, and He Yuzhu made 4 stir-fries according to his own preferences.

Deputy Director Li and Chief Ma of the Security Department arrived as scheduled. "Director He, you don't know today. I can't eat well this morning and evening. Now I'm counting on this lunch!"

What Deputy Director Li said was a bit exaggerated, but it was almost true.

I thought to myself, it would be really hard to swallow going home and eating the tigress's food.

Besides, after having tasted what He Yuzhu cooked, how could you eat anything else?

Section Chief Ma also spoke up at this time, "This stir-fried mushroom with meat should be cooked by you, Director He. No one else can make it look this good."

The three of them enjoyed the meal very much.

However, the quarrel outside the cafeteria disturbed the three people's interest.

The reason for the quarrel was nothing else but that He Yuzhu changed the price of the food.

The workers were dissatisfied and went to the canteen to argue.

He Yuzhu frowned, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said to Deputy Director Li and Section Chief Ma: "Deputy Director Li, Section Chief Ma, it should be that after I raised the price, some workers are not buying it. I will explain it to everyone. If they disagree, then I will change it back to the original price."

After hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Li was furious. "Let's go together. I want to see who dares to cause trouble in the cafeteria!"

Section Chief Ma followed closely behind, and when the three of them arrived at the restaurant, they heard someone complaining.

"This dish is 1 cents more expensive. It was only 8 cents before, but now it's 3 cents. Who can afford it?"

"That is to say, how much do we earn? If we eat a dish worth 3 cents, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get home!"

"This braised pork is three cents more expensive. Here, I can buy a pound of meat if I add a little more."

"And this ordinary vegetable dish is also 5 cents more expensive, this..."

"This... is ridiculously expensive. Isn't this robbery?"

With the arrival of the three people, the restaurant, which was full of indignation and complaints just now, suddenly became silent.

He Yuzhu pointed at the menu and explained, "Don't you see how much meat is in today's fried pork with peppers? Are you sure it's oily or not?"

"The price was indeed 1 cents before, but there were not even two pieces of meat on a plate. Now the meat slices take up half of the plate, and then look at the greasy food. You only see the price increase, not the quality?"

"I'm a chef. I just want the workers to eat better. If you think the price is too high, there are two meatless and oilless dishes over there."

"The original prices are the same. If you want cheaper ones, buy cheaper ones. If you want more meat and oily dishes, just follow these prices. It's up to you to choose."

"But if you cause trouble in the cafeteria, don't blame me for kicking you out."

The workers knew that what He Yuzhu said made sense, and there were actually only a few workers causing trouble.

They can't afford the expensive food, so they are making a fuss and stirring up public anger in order to lower the price.

But after hearing He Yuzhu getting angry, they shrank their necks again.

At this time, a worker spoke up, "That's right, look at this stir-fried pork with peppers, the meat takes up almost half of the dish, and there's also this oil."

"Look at my mouth, it's full of oil, and this is only 3 cents. If you go to the National Hotel, this dish will cost less than 8 cents. Just be content!"

"If you guys cause trouble and we go back to the old days of eating without meat and oil, I won't be able to eat. How can I have the energy to work if I can't eat?"

"That's right, I'm counting on the food in the cafeteria right now. If you want to cause trouble, go somewhere else!"
