Among the pile of meals in front of him, Xiao Han didn't take the top one and saw that it was specially made for himself.
Instead, he picked up a lunch box that was exactly the same as the other craftsmen.
"Master Hou, this is specially prepared for you..."
The talkative steward's face was one-third embarrassed, one-third flattering, and one-quarter admiration. He respectfully picked up the unique lunch box and offered it to Xiao Han with both hands.
However, Xiao Han just glanced at the steward and said lightly: "No, since I am here, I am also one of you. I will eat whatever you eat."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the cafeteria, leaving only a small figure behind for the many craftsmen present.
Xiao Han left. Xiaodong, who had always been following him, looked at the steward suspiciously, and then at the people behind him who were whispering and praising each other. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he also imitated Xiao Han with his With such a look, he picked up a piece of food, took the wine bottle from the man, and chased Xiao Han in front.
"Master Hou, that steward is deliberately trying to please you! But his acting is too bad." After chasing Xiao Han, Xiaodong slowed down and whispered disdainfully.
Xiao Han rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Nonsense, why would you use Xiaodong to talk about such an obvious thing? When he first saw that gorgeous and unseemly dinner plate, he knew what was going on!
After all, he is also an old man who has been in the officialdom for a long time. He has never eaten pork and has seen Zhu Bajie! I have long understood those twists and turns.
If today the manager really just wants to entertain himself, he can put delicacies in ordinary lunch boxes, and everything will be done quietly and seamlessly, just like in future generations, big leaders will drink 53-degree mineral water in a low-key manner at the dinner table. Just like water, no one can notice it!
Now that you are making such a high-profile statement, isn't it just a roundabout way to flatter yourself?
"No, since he wants to please himself, then this wine..."
Suddenly thinking about Moutai in the mineral water bottle, Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at the wine bottle in his hand.
His lunch box was obtained at will by himself, and it was unlikely to have been arranged in advance, but the small bottle of wine was handed to him by the man shaking the wheel!
Thinking of this, Xiao Han handed the lunch box to Xiaodong, freed his hand and pulled out the cork of the wine bottle.
"Boo~"
With a crisp sound, the cork was pulled out, and a faint fragrance immediately floated out of the bottle.
After sniffing the aroma, Xiao Han frowned and shook the bottle gently, and a rich and almost demonic red flashed from the mouth of the bottle.
Western grape wine! Still the best kind.
"Hmph, this manager is interesting."
With a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Han muttered to himself, put his wine down again, and reached out to open the bottle in Xiaodong's hand.
Sure enough, the same bottle filled by Xiaodong was just ordinary rice wine, not even five-sour wine!
Hey, it seems that the story of building a plank road openly and secretly visiting Chen Cang has not been abandoned from ancient times to the present.
————
When I came to the canteen, I found a table and sat down. After waiting for a while, except for Ren Qing, Lengzi, and the chatty steward, no other craftsmen were seen.
Even the two master craftsmen who were familiar with him didn't know where they had gone.
Putting down his chopsticks, Xiao Han leaned sideways and saw through the half-open door that most of the craftsmen were squatting in the distance, chattering to each other while eating, and occasionally glancing here.
"Master Marquis, do you want me to call them in?" Xiaodong, who was sitting next to Xiao Han, had his cheeks bulging. Seeing Xiao Han's actions, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and made a gesture to get up.
However, Xiao Han shook his head, got ready again, and slowly dealt with the passable meal in front of him.
At this time, he was no longer the reckless young man who liked to eat in a big pot. He didn't let Xiaodong call them in, and it wasn't because of some bullshit status.
It’s just that he understood at this time: If he forced those craftsmen to come in and join him, it would only give him a vain title of "working with the people", and those craftsmen would feel uncomfortable. In this case, why bother?
The meal was mediocre. When the steward saw that Xiao Han didn't touch the wine that he had worked hard to prepare, he was so anxious that he wanted to speak several times, but because he was not familiar with Xiao Han's temper, he was afraid that he would have the habit of being silent while eating and sleeping. The rules were tolerated again.
Mechanically digging into the rice in front of him, he remembered that a few days ago, when he learned that Xiao Han was going to become the new person in charge here, he was both excited and worried!
What was exciting was that he had been dealing with Xiyuan for several years, and he knew more or less about Xiao Han from those people's mouths.
Knowing that this is a kind and open-minded boss, following him seems to have a much better future than guarding such a dilapidated workshop!
What worries me is: East Hospital has been in an embarrassing situation since its establishment! Not only did they divide their power, they also fought against each other for three years!
Now that everything is fine, the feud has been settled, but the emperor just said that they should be brought under someone else's jurisdiction again. Isn't this just forcing the enemy's children to be given to the stepmother? Can this stepmother have a good face?
So after thinking about it, for the sake of the workshop and the craftsmen here, the steward not only used words to please, but also directed and acted himself, creating a considerate and kind-hearted image of a good leader for Xiao Han. I hope he can maintain this well. positive image.
In fact, he was afraid that these were not enough, so he went out of his way to find out Xiao Han's widely spread lustful and drunken habits, and prepared to give in to him.
There's nothing you can do about lustful things, let alone women. Even the monkeys on this broken mountain are male. Didn't you see those craftsmen holding back their blushes and thick necks?
As for good wine? This is more reliable! The manager gritted his teeth and took out his personal money. He was extremely distressed and bought a small bottle of top-quality grape wine in Dongshi, preparing to compliment his future boss.
But who knew they didn't even look at it?
Hey, it’s hard to be a steward, but it’s even harder to be a stepmother’s steward!
If Xiao Han's meal was mediocre, then the worried steward's meal was tasteless!
When Xiao Han put down his chopsticks, he stopped eating even though there was still most of the food in front of him.
"Master Marquis, what do you think our next step should be?"
After hesitating for a long time, the steward finally made up his mind and asked what he had been holding back all morning.
He is also a craftsman, and the flattery just now has reached his limit. Now he has lost his patience and just wants to know Xiao Han's future arrangements for this place.
Although I was raised by my stepmother here, I had to give it a try whether I should sleep peacefully on the kang or lie down in the sheepfold.
