Zhou Ming's current cooking skills are really superb and at the pinnacle. A banquet for eight or nine people was quickly cooked and put on the dining table.
The guests were all very satisfied and amazed. Zhou Ming's craftsmanship was really great. The dishes he made were not only delicious, delicious, but also very novel.
"Young master, your cooking skills are really superb." The leader looked at Zhou Ming with compliments.
"Thank you for your appreciation, leader."
"Haha, can I often invite you to my house to cook in the future?" The leader said while eating the delicious food.
"No problem! Usually Saturdays and Sundays are rest time, so I can come here freely." Zhou Ming agreed directly.
"Haha, great!" Seeing Zhou Ming agree, the leader was quite satisfied, "I will pick you up on Saturdays and Sundays."
"Yes! Leader."
Zhou Ming took the gift from the leader and sent it directly to the courtyard by the leader's driver. After this, Zhou Ming introduced to the driver and said, "Brother driver, I live here. If the leader needs it, you come here to see me." That’s it.”
"Okay, I know."
When the neighbors saw Zhou Ming coming back by special car with a lot of things in his hands, they realized that Zhou Ming was cooking for the leader again. They all looked over with envy, especially Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang. Everything should belong to them.
Zhou Ming greeted the neighbors casually, opened the door and saw Lou Xiao'e reading a book, and then said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, I'm back."
"Brother, why did you bring so many things back today?" Lou Xiao'e quickly stood up and took the things from Zhou Ming's hand, and then asked with some confusion.
"I'm helping a leader cook today. This is a gift from him."
"Ah? Are there many gifts?" Lou Xiao'e looked at the gifts in surprise.
"Haha, our family will not be short of food or clothing in the future." Zhou Ming was quite confident about this, "Xiao'e, what are you reading?"
"Haha, when I was bored, I found a copy of Dream of Red Mansions from Yu Yu's room."
"Oh? This reminds me, let's go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy some books and keep them for you to pass the time."
"OK!"
Seeing Zhou Ming loving her so carefully, Lou Xiao'e also felt happy. She suddenly felt that she was very lucky to have met Zhou Ming's true love at the lowest point in her life.
…
Time soon came to 1967. Deputy Director Li became Director Li, while Liu Haizhong, the second uncle of the courtyard, suddenly changed and became a team leader of the security team of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. His two sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu was also assigned to the security team by him.
Liu Haizhong was originally a super official fan. Because of his academic qualifications, he could only be an ordinary worker. However, he did not think that workers were very glorious, and he still wanted to be a powerful parent official.
Just because he said a few flattering words to Director Li, he was immediately appointed as the security team leader of the steel rolling mill. He was so happy that he invited the factory leadership team to drink.
Director Li was a regular at the dinner table, so how could he care about these things? Other factory leaders also looked down upon him, so he declined Liu Haizhong's invitation.
Feeling depressed, Liu Haizhong could only deal with his team members in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, and the second canteen managed by Zhou Ming was their first choice.
Director Li had long proposed that Zhou Ming be promoted to canteen director and manage all the canteen logistics of the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant. However, Zhou Ming knew that anything good as good as Lin Feng would destroy it, so he declined directly. Director Li felt very surprised. After all, He thinks more people are bangs in the idea.
"Master He, if you become the canteen director, your salary and benefits will be greatly increased."
"Director Li, thank you for your consideration." Zhou Ming said gratefully, "What I am best at is cooking, and it is best to stay in the cafeteria."
"Well, since you have no idea, forget it."
"Thank you for your understanding, director."
…
"Silly Zhu! Where did Silly Zhu go?" Liu Haizhong said domineeringly.
"Team Leader Liu, what are you doing with our squad leader?" Liu Lan replied rudely to Liu Haizhong. The person standing behind her was Director Li, so she was not afraid of Liu Haizhong at all.
"Huh? Liu Lan, let Shazhu arrange a table for us to celebrate my promotion to the head of the security team."
"Where are the food stamps?" Liu Lan stretched out her hand and said politely.
"Huh? I'm the team leader, do I still need food stamps?" Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Lan in confusion.
"What's wrong with the team leader?" Liu Lan looked at Liu Haizhong disdainfully, "There are so many leaders in the factory, who do you think you are?"
"Eh? I have it!" Liu Haizhong didn't dare to confront Liu Lan, so he could only take out the food stamps and money, "Liu Lan, here you go!"
"Well! It would have been fine if it had been like this." After Liu Lan said that, she turned around and left with her big buttocks.
A table of food was quickly served to Liu Haizhong and the others, but the wine they drank was brought by themselves. After all, the canteen did not provide any alcohol, and they said that wine makes people brave. After drinking a few rounds of wine, Liu Haizhong drank again. Angered.
"Silly Zhu! Where is Silly Zhu? Let him toast me!"
Zhou Ming, the chef in the kitchen, frowned when he heard Liu Haizhong being drunk. Liu Lan immediately wanted to go over and argue, but was stopped by Zhou Ming. After all, no one can stop someone who is seeking death.
"Liu Lan, don't go! I'll go over and see the authority of our team leader."
"Huh? Okay!"
Zhou Ming walked straight into the box, then saw Liu Haizhong who was drunk and said with a smile, "Second uncle, you have just been promoted and you have such great authority?"
"What? Not convinced?" Liu Haizhong slapped the table and scolded Zhou Ming, "Silly Zhu, come here and pour me some wine!"
"Okay! Haha, I'll pour you some wine now!"
"Hmph! Silly Zhu, don't be crazy about me!" Liu Haizhong looked at Zhou Ming who was pouring wine and said with a clear mind, "I have all the means to kill you now!"
"Haha, it seems that the second uncle is completely awesome." Zhou Ming said mockingly while pouring the wine.
"Hmph! Silly Zhu, you have to call me dad, team leader!"
"Shout! Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, are you also getting rich?" Zhou Ming looked at the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu with cold eyes.
Facing Zhou Ming's cold eyes, the two Liu Guangfu brothers suddenly trembled. Then they remembered that Zhou Ming was still the God of War in the courtyard, and the three of them, father and son, did not dare to continue their entanglement.
"Come! Come! Come! Let's all drink." In order to relieve his embarrassment, Liu Guangtian quickly ignored Zhou Ming and invited everyone to drink together.
Seeing that the Liu family and his son were no longer unreasonable, they walked out of the box with a sneer, as if nothing had happened, because he knew that today was the last carnival of Liu Haizhong and his son.
Until almost eight o'clock, Liu Haizhong and the others were still in the box and refused to come out. Liu Lan angrily wanted to go in and drive them away, but as soon as he pushed the people away from the box and saw the situation in the box, Liu Lan screamed in horror. Call.
"ah……"
…
At this time, the police had cordoned off the scene and the entire No. 2 Canteen. The only ones left to work overtime were Zhou Ming and Liu Lan, so they were questioned immediately.
"When exactly did you discover what was going on in the box?"
"It's almost... it's almost eight o'clock." Liu Lan stammered, looking too frightened. "I wanted to urge them to leave quickly, but I found that they were all dead inside."
"During the time they entered the box, besides you serving the food, did anyone else enter the box?"
When Liu Lan heard the police's question, her eyes flashed for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "No!"
The policeman also saw the abnormality in Liu Lan's eyes. He was about to continue questioning based on this point, but was interrupted by a policeman, "Captain! The initial suspicion is that it is alcohol. It contains a lot of industrial alcohol. It is initially suspected that it is industrial alcohol." Blended fake wine.”
"What?" Interrupted by the policeman, the captain forgot to continue asking the question, "Liu Lan, where did the wine come from?"
"Ah? They brought it themselves!" Liu Lan's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly explained to the captain, "Our canteen does not provide alcohol."
"Well, although the initial suspicion is that the problem is wine, we can't rule out that there is something wrong with the food." The captain has already determined that fake wine is harmful to people, and still follows the procedure, "So we will continue to bring it back for testing. You need to go to the police station with us. .”
"Mr. Police, can I ask someone to give my wife a message? She must not worry." Zhou Ming looked at the policeman with a smile.
"Can!"
Zhou Ming waved to Ma Hua, who was called over by the police, and then said with a smile, "Go to the courtyard and tell your wife, I will cooperate with the police in investigating the case, so she doesn't have to worry."
"Yeah! Okay! Anyway, the police said it was a drinking problem." MCA nodded sensibly.
This incident had a great impact. The police tested all the dishes and wine that night, and the Second Canteen also underwent a comprehensive investigation. Fortunately, Zhou Ming had always paid attention to the hygiene of the canteen. Even the police were shocked by the cleanliness of the Second Canteen.
The results came out the next morning, and it was confirmed that it was fake wine. As for the origin of the fake wine, it was impossible to find out. Apart from knowing that it was brought by Liu Haizhong and the others, they couldn’t tell where they bought it, because the private room Everyone inside died of industrial alcohol poisoning.
After the results came out, Zhou Ming and Liu Lan were released. After all, it was none of their business. When the two walked out of the police station, Zhou Ming said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you!"
"No! You are the only one who truly respects me." Liu Lan showed a grateful smile.
…
After Zhou Ming returned to the courtyard, all the neighbors looked over curiously. The second aunt also stumbled out, and Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, also returned to the courtyard.
"Zhuzi, what's going on?" First Master Yi Zhonghai asked first.
"Hey! I don't know where the second uncle bought the fake wine, but it was actually blended with industrial alcohol. The result..."
"Ah? How could this happen..." The second aunt fainted and fell to the ground.
Everyone was in a hurry to help the second aunt carry her home. After a while, she recovered. Liu Guangqi suddenly looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Brother Zhuzhu, I heard that you were taken for questioning by the police last night?"
"Of course! I am the person in charge of the second canteen, and I cook the food myself. Of course the police have to inspect all the dishes." Zhou Ming said matter-of-factly.
"I'm sorry! Brother Zhuzhu, I've caused you trouble."
"Hey! No one wants it, just try not to drink in the future!"
"Yes! I will never drink alcohol from now on." Liu Guangqi said with lingering fear.
"Well, Guangqi, what are your plans next?"
"Brother Zhuzi, I'm going to take my mother to my place to save her from getting hurt."
"Um!"
When Zhou Ming returned home, Lou Xiao'e hugged him tightly in excitement, "Si Zhu, you scared me to death."
"Silly girl, what can happen to me as a cook? It's the second uncle and the others who bought fake wine for cheap."
"Huh? It won't affect you and your cafeteria, right?"
"No! Just don't worry."
What was most frightening about this incident was Director Li and the factory leaders. Originally, Liu Haizhong was planning to invite them, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he didn't agree, otherwise they would all be in trouble.
…
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, life in the courtyard is still ordinary and trivial. Without Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, the two troublemakers, Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai are particularly honest and do not dare to make trouble at will.
The commotion outside did not affect the courtyard. Instead, it seemed like a utopia for everyone. Gradually, everyone no longer wanted to take advantage of each other. Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang, the two ultimate troublemakers, did not dare to speak out at will.
As the most scheming people in the courtyard, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai could easily detect the anomaly in the Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao incident. However, they were just guessing at most, but their eyes were full of fear every time they saw Zhou Ming.
Especially when Zhou Ming looked at them with a smile on his face, they always felt as if they had fallen into an abyss and no longer dared to contact Zhou Ming casually.
In February 1967, Lou Xiao'e gave birth to twin boys to Zhou Ming. The family lived happily together, which made Lou Xiao'e forget the sufferings she had suffered.
Because of his mother and grandma's instructions, this kid Bangge no longer dared to have contact with Zhou Ming, so he gradually separated from Zhou Mingsheng, and then became an educated youth sent to the countryside in 1969.
In 2015, Zhou Ming, who was eighty years old, passed away and left a lot of legends in this courtyard world, which became legendary stories that people later talked about.
The play ends.
