Chapter 22: Alternatives to Shazhu(1/2)
Without the food brought back by Suning, the quality of food at Qin Huairu's house plummeted. When the family was having dinner, Banggeng weakly pulled at the pickles in front of him.
"Mom, how long has it been since our family has eaten meat?"
"Hey! BangGeng, isn't everyone like this now! Some of them are already very good!"
"Mom, then why did our family have meat to eat every day in the past?" Banggeng retorted to his mother knowingly, just to force her to find a solution.
"Banggen, if you want to blame, blame that heartless fool Zhu!
Now that he has moved out of this courtyard, he will live a comfortable life and no longer cares about the life and death of our family!" Mrs. Jia Zhang also swallowed the unpalatable bread with difficulty and cursed Suning angrily.
"Isn't that silly water still in our hospital?
I'll go see what delicious food they have, and I'll bring it to them!" Bang Gang suddenly remembered He Yuyu who had moved back.
"Banggen, don't!" Qin Huairu heard his son Banggen's plan and quickly stopped him.
"Huairu, the child just wants to eat meat! Why are you stopping the child?" Mrs. Jia Zhang was also greedy for meat. When she heard Qin Huairu's obstruction, she retorted angrily.
"Mom, why are you so confused?
Yuyu’s husband Xiaopianjing is a police officer!
If you let Banggeng go to their house, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"
"What...what happened to the police?
What does it matter if a child brings a plate of food to their family?" Jia Zhang then remembered the identity of the young film police officer and quickly said sophistry again.
“Mom, what if the police officer in the film says that the stick is stolen?
Do you really think that this young man can surpass the police and the law?" Qin Huairu said helplessly as she looked at her quibbling mother-in-law.
When Jia Zhang and Bang Gang heard that He Yuyu's husband was a police officer, their "stealing" intentions were extinguished. They bit the cornbread in their hands to vent their helplessness.
...
Suning settled the matters at the restaurant and resumed her usual work. She and Ma Hua worked peacefully in the back kitchen of the canteen of the steel rolling mill.
"MCA, recently I discovered that you and your master no longer go out to take private jobs!
Did something happen?" Liu Lan was overflowing with curiosity again and ran to MCA.
"Liu Lan, what are you talking nonsense about?
If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will slap you with my big mouth!" Ma Hua looked at Liu Lan in front of him with disgust.
"You...MCA, please don't do anything stupid!"
"Humph! Liu Lan, aren't you just relying on the love of your deputy factory director?
What’s so great!”
"You..." Liu Lan was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"Okay! MCA! Go and do your job!" Suning stopped the quarrel between the two in time.
"Liu Lan, I think you have misunderstood!
I was doing a favor for a leader a few days ago, and it was not a personal job as speculated by the outside world!
So in the future, please stop making such unrealistic speculations."
"Hey! Don't think I don't know!
You were reported for going out to pick up private work! You are still hiding it here!"
"Shout! It seems that Deputy Director Li is very fond of you!
I’ll tell you all the inside information!
Yes! Liu Lan!
When will I be able to become the empress of the palace?" Seeing Liu Lan going on and on, Suning also lost her patience and didn't want to be spoiled anymore.
"Silly Zhu! You are talking nonsense!"
"Liu Lan, we are not willing to interfere or interfere in your own private affairs!
But please respect yourself and don’t look for trouble!”
"If something happens, your lover may not be willing to protect you!"
Upon hearing Suning's warning, Liu Lan's face suddenly turned from red to white, and finally turned livid, indicating a complicated change in her mentality. She also believed that what Suning said was the truth, and that the person named Li would not really protect her.
hers.
After receiving Suning's warning, Liu Lan became much more honest. She no longer looked for trouble endlessly, but worked honestly on the sidelines.
At this time, Liu Lan's lover, Deputy Director Li, walked in, saw Suning sitting aside, and immediately said with a smile, "Master He, please come over here! I want to tell you something!"
Suning stood up and followed Deputy Director Li out of the cafeteria. Then Deputy Director Li turned around and explained with a smile, "Master He, the cafeteria director Lao Lin is not in good health recently. I am going to let him rest at home!"
So, I think you can temporarily take over from Lao Lin as the canteen director."
"Oh? You are also the acting canteen director?"
"Yes! That's the acting canteen director!"
"Well...Deputy Director Li, you should know that I only know how to cook! I know nothing else!"
Suning hesitated a little. If he became the director of the canteen, his salary would definitely increase. After all, he had just resigned from his job in the restaurant and he really needed a legal salary.
"Haha, if you don't know, you can learn slowly!
Master He, I have great confidence in you!
The salary will be based on cadre standards, which is fifty-eight yuan a month!"
"Haha, thank you so much, Deputy Director Li!
I will temporarily be the acting canteen director for a few days!
If I’m not capable enough, let me go back to work in the kitchen!”
"Haha, Master He, you are too humble!
If there are banquets that require your help in the future, you will have to work a lot more hard!"
"Haha, I will definitely do it!
After I leave, I want to leave the kitchen to my apprentice Ma Hua!"
"Okay! No problem!
I will also give him thirty-seven and a half yuan as the salary of the MCA!"
Seeing that Deputy Factory Director Li was so awesome, Suning stopped asking for anything. Although Deputy Factory Director Li was a complete villain, it had nothing to do with him.
I am now a happy-go-lucky cook, spending this period of time peacefully, and can do things with peace of mind when the market opens.
Nowadays, the promotion of workers in the factory needs to be announced. After the announcement, everyone in the steel rolling plant soon knew that Suning had become the canteen director and directly managed the three workers' canteens in the steel rolling plant.
Of course, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai also learned about Suning's promotion and salary increase, and then they all felt disappointed in their hearts. Now that Suning has left their lives, it is difficult to enjoy the benefits brought by Suning.
"Huai Ru, how do you feel about Yu Yu's husband, Xiao Pianjing, lately?"
"Eh? I don't know either!
Ever since Yuyu and the others moved back to the courtyard, I haven’t had an encounter with the policeman yet!”
"Hey! Yes! The little police officer is too busy at work!
It is impossible for him to care about the affairs of the courtyard like Silly Zhu did before." Yi Zhonghai also sighed helplessly.
Hearing Suning's name again, Qin Huairu still couldn't let go. She unconsciously thought of Suning's kindness to her in the past, and suddenly realized that she could no longer leave Suning.
Suning became the director of the canteen and was directly responsible to Deputy Director Li, who was in charge of logistics. He no longer had to ask about the specific matters of the canteen's kitchen. The previous work was all handed over to his apprentice Ma Hua.
After more than a month of experience in the restaurant, MCA is fully capable of taking on a kitchen job. Besides, some important ingredients have been handed over to MCA. If it reaches 60% of Suning's previous level, there will still be no problems.
Seeing that MCA received a promotion and salary increase directly along with Suning, everyone in the cafeteria showed envy and jealousy, among which Fatty and Liu Lan were the most jealous.
"Master, I have been practicing on the chopping board for so long, and I also want to practice on the stove like my senior brother Ma Hua."
I looked at the fat man in front of me. Although he still had a flattering look on his face, he was indeed much more stable than before. It seemed that my suppression of him during this period was very effective.
Of course, Suning never expected Fatty to treat her like a mentor like Ma Hua, as long as he no longer "backstabs" her like in the original drama.
"Fat man, just use the stove temporarily for a month!
As for the salary, it will remain unchanged for the time being!
When you are really qualified, I will apply for a salary increase for you!"
"Master, thank you!
I wouldn’t dare think about a salary increase!
As long as you can let me cook, I will definitely learn cooking skills with all my heart!"
"Haha, whoever comes out to work doesn't do it just for this salary!
Okay! Let’s go to work!”
