Li Xuewu said a few polite words to Ji Weidong and talked about his eldest brother's school weapons. When he heard that Ji Weidong had already arranged his application, he hung up the phone.

I was busy until noon, when I met Xu Ning who was waiting for me in the cafeteria.

"Section Chief, the team you found is really fast. They have cleaned up everything in the building this morning, and the construction will start in the afternoon."

Li Xuewu took a sip of clear soup and then asked, "How many people entered the venue?"

"There must be more than forty people"

Li Xuewu nodded and Xu Ning said, "Let me explain clearly to these forty people. They are only allowed to work and rest within the scope of the guest house. They are not allowed to go to other places for activities, and they are not allowed to hang out or anything like that."

"I told Master Dou about this, and I'll tell you again, there are many sources of danger in our factory. We know it, but these people may not know it. There must be no danger in a place where people live."

Gu Ning nodded and said, "I borrowed a few people from the security team to help me."

"How to solve the lunch problem?"

Since Li Xuewu saw Xu Ning, he asked clearly.

Xu Ning put down the steamed bun in his hand and replied, "As agreed, they will solve the food problem by themselves. The canteen of the guest house is already in use."

"Since we are repairing the first floor first, we will clean up the canteen on the first floor directly. In this way, you can make arrangements and I will take you to see the cook later."

Hearing Li Xuewu talk about finding a cook for him, Xu Ning said in surprise, "That's a good relationship. I can just go back and talk about it after dinner. Let's go at one o'clock. Let's set off at one o'clock."

Li Xuewu nodded and told Xu Ning, "Don't forget what I said."

"clear"

After the conversation, Xu Ning quickly finished his meal and ran to the guest house. After the explanation, Li Xuewu also reported to Dong Wenxue and asked Yan Jiecheng to drive him and Xu Ning to the city.

The pigeon market here in Haizi is much more lively during the day than at night, and they sell junk goods.

Li Xuewu ordered the car to stop at the entrance of the alley, and took Gu Ning to the yard of Master Yang's house last time.

I remember it was in Courtyard No. 22. Li Xuewu and the others entered the courtyard and inquired about the people in the courtyard. After explaining their purpose of coming, the old lady pointed out the door.

The courtyard here is not as big as Li Xuewu's. There are only four households in one courtyard. The old lady pointed to the east wing.

Before Li Xuewu could walk over, the old lady shouted, "Yang Laoer, you have a guest at home."

Li Xuewu turned around and thanked him, then looked at the east wing. Master Yang, whom he saw last time, had already opened the door and came out.

The residents of old courtyard houses or such old courtyards are all like this. Because they live close to each other, they all take care of each other.

If something goes wrong in your family, there will always be someone to help you if your character is not good enough.

Old neighbors don't need to lock the door when they go out. They just say "Aunt Sun, I'll be out for a while" and then leave directly to do whatever they need to do.

Aunt Sun can help you look after your home with a more responsible attitude than looking after your own home.

When the old lady who was cleaning up at the door saw Li Xuewu entering the courtyard, she asked her carefully first, but even then she had to shout out to you, in case you didn't know the resident.

Master Yang came out and saw that it was Li Xuewu. He greeted him enthusiastically and then shouted to the old lady at the door, "Old lady, this is my friend. Come and visit me. Thank you."

The old lady didn't answer, she just waved her hand and continued to do her work.

That's what I mean, this will be left for posterity. Hey, your house was evacuated, and the people living across the street didn't even ask.

I have lived in the same building for ten years and have not said a word to each other. Regardless of the short space and distance, the human touch is gone.

After being let into the room by Master Yang, he saw an old man sitting on the edge of the eucalyptus, and in the middle of the room there was a thin middle-aged man on crutches looking at the two of them.

"Master, this is what I told you last time, the patron of your and my senior brother's business."

Li Xuewu knew that Master Yang didn't know his name, so he introduced himself: "My surname is Li. I live in No. 99 Nanluogu Lane. This is a buddy of mine. We both work at the steel rolling mill outside Dongzhimen."

"Hey, okay, sit down." Li Xuewu offered cigarettes to Master Yang and the three of them, and gave another one to Xu Ning. They lit the fire with each other, took the first puff of the cigarette, and then spoke.

"Master Yang, can you still recognize me?"

Yang Laoer chuckled and said, "This is considered a basic skill for us. We also worked as a waiter earlier."

When I saw Li Xuewu coming with someone, something must have happened, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to him during work hours on Monday.

"Brother Li, how do you think your set of knives works?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and praised, "Not to mention, both the steel mouth and the sharpness are top-notch, but there is one thing."

"What? Is there a problem?" Seeing Li Xuewu gasping for breath, Yang Laoer thought there was a problem, so he asked.

"Even if there are too many knives, I won't be able to use them."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The three cooks in the room all laughed, and Li Xuewu also had a wry smile on his face.

"That's because chefs like us are lazy and just want to find a tool for everything, hehehe."

The old man sitting next to the eucalyptus smiled and explained to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu is good at talking, "I am

I feel that there is a specialization in the arts, and the tools in this world were invented by lazy people. If they were too lazy to walk, they invented bicycles; if they were too lazy to fetch water from buckets, they invented water pumps."

"Hahaha, every profession has its own rules. Since they are rules, they must exist."

The old man looked at Li Xuewu with a smile, "Master Li also wants to join our industry?"

Yang Laoer also felt the same way, because when Li Xuewu bought the knife, he said that he planned to learn to be a cook. He must have come to him today because he wanted to become his apprentice.

This is not unusual. Many cooks in factories also come to apprentice as apprentices. It depends on fate and ability.

Nowadays, martial arts can be included in textbooks, so it is not uncommon for cooking skills to be sold.

Have you seen "Friends of Dual-Use Talents", "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and "Militia Military Training Manual"?

Li Xuewu saw that the three masters and apprentices in the room had misunderstood, and did not explain. Instead, he asked Master Yang, "Master Yang, we didn't say a few words last time, and we haven't asked where you can find a job."

Yang Laoer looked at his master and senior brother, and saw that his master had lowered his eyebrows and his eyes, and his senior brother even turned his head away from looking here.

The atmosphere in the room became awkward because of Li Xuewu's words.

Yang Laoer calmed down for a moment and then said, "I'm not afraid of your ridicule even though I have great achievements. The three of us, the master and the apprentice, are just thinking about career options here."

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and looked at Master Yang, waiting for Master Yang to explain.

Yang Laoer saw that Li Xuewu was quite ready to ask questions, so he did not offend Li Xuewu and explained his situation.

"I used to cook at the management office here in Haizi, but I was fired by the management office some time ago because I followed my master and my senior brother to take private jobs outside. These days, I rely solely on the items in the seller's house to support me. Looking at it,

I can’t hold on any longer, isn’t it? The three of us, master and apprentice, are just thinking about how to get food rations.”

After explaining his situation, Yang Laoer looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you here today?"

When Li Xuewu saw Master Yang talking about his situation, he stopped hiding it and pointed at Xu Ning and said, "This is the director of the guest house of our steel rolling mill. My name is Xu Ning. I am from the security department of the steel rolling mill."

Section Chief, my name is Li Xuewu.”

When Li Xuewu introduced himself like this, everyone in the room was stunned. They thought they were here to learn skills from a teacher, but unexpectedly, two cadres came.

When he heard that Xu Ning was the director of the guest house, Yang Laoer's eyes shone with hope. When he heard that Li Xuewu was the chief of the security department, the three people in the room knew that they had misunderstood.

How could a head of the security department of such a big factory learn to be a cook?

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Master Yang's hesitation, Li Xuewu laughed "haha" and said, "I also heard a friend of mine who is a Sichuan cuisine chef tell me the meaning of the set of knives you sold me, and then I realized that it happened to be like this for our cuisine."

, our guest house needs to recruit a chef, doesn’t this remind me of you?”

"Ouch! Section Chief Li, I don't even know how to thank you."

Li Xuewu waved his hand to tell Master Yang to calm down, and then said with a smile, "We are acquaintances, just call me Li Xuewu. We are destined, so I will tell you some things directly."

"You said you said"

"Every unit has its own rules. Our factory also has rules for recruiting and employing people. For example, if you accept private work, you should not do it again, hahaha."

Yang Laoer's face was also flushed, and he replied with a dry smile, "I really can't afford to eat, so I made a mistake. I won't do it again."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The guest house is being renovated. We have set relatively high standards and high service levels. We also serve special objects, so your craftsmanship must also meet our standards."

Yang Laoer looked at his master. Because his master was here, he couldn't praise his own skills.

The old man who had been silent for a while looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian Shutong. I have been learning folk cuisine since I was a child. I am considered a successor in this industry. This is my eldest apprentice, named Wei Wei."

, is also my direct disciple, this is my second disciple, Yang Shuqian, can be regarded as my close disciple."

Qian Shutong called it self-reporting, and reported the identity and names of himself and his apprentices. It was considered a rule of the older generation.

"The food in our industry is all about taste, not too much. Three people can only cook three or two tables of dishes. Of course, taste is what we rely on to survive. You don't have to worry about this. It's just the quantity..."

Li Xuewu looked at Xu Ning. Xu Ning knew it was time for him to speak, so he said, "There are more than forty rooms in the guest house. That's the number of people who eat in the guest house. I will give you two more kitchen helpers."

Not a problem”

Hearing that there was a helper in the kitchen, Yang Shuqian was a little hesitant and looked at his master, because others were not allowed to come in and watch while the cuisine was being cooked.

Qian Shutong raised his head, indicating that he understood what his apprentice meant. He looked at the two apprentices and said, "You are almost starving to death. How can you still pay attention to your craftsmanship and pass it on? Now you don't want others to learn from it. It's okay."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "A craft is called craftsmanship if it is passed down. If it cannot be passed down, it becomes a legend. You can still bring apprentices to the steel rolling mill."

"My master is going too?" Yang Shuqian asked in disbelief.
