Director Liu took Ma Hua into the kitchen of the canteen. It was around eight o'clock. The kitchen was sitting and preparing for work. More than ten people were washing vegetables in the kitchen, and others were kneading dough, both men and women. There was only one person sitting in the back kitchen with a big porcelain vat, drinking tea comfortably, chatting and laughing with everyone without having to do any chores. This person was the canteen's chef He Yuzhu, Shazhu.
He Yuzhu was wearing a sweater, beige brown, without a coat. It should be because he was in the kitchen with a stove fire, so the temperature was not as cold as outside. He was sitting on a wooden chair with a large teapot in his hand. A small handful of broken tea leaves were brewed in the porcelain jar issued by the factory. It was very bitter and not really delicious. Silly Zhu was listening to Liu Lan, the assistant cook, chatting about the latest gossip news in the factory, with a smile on his face. They exchanged a few words of greeting from time to time and were chatting happily. Suddenly, from the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of Director Liu and Ma Hua walking in. They quickly stood up, went to greet them, and said with a smile.
"Hey, Director Liu, why do you bother me to come to the kitchen in person? If you need something, just give me an order and I'll go find you!" Director Liu looked at Silly Zhu with a playful smile and rolled his eyes, but he wasn't angry at all. , laughed and cursed directly.
"Go, go, go! I don't know your temperament yet, Silly Zhu. You can say nice things, but you are as stubborn as a donkey. I have never heard of you. I am not the one begging you!" Silly Zhu laughed. Although Director Liu He complained that Sha Zhu had a stubborn temper, but he had a good relationship with Sha Zhu and took good care of Sha Zhu on weekdays. Of course, this was also related to Sha Zhu’s superb cooking skills. Every time there was entertainment in the factory, he would make Director Liu look good, and he was often criticized by the factory. Praise from the leader.
"I'm not going to argue with you. I'm here to bring you someone. This kid is Ma Hua. He is sixteen years old. He will help in the kitchen in the future. His father is a worker in our factory. A few days ago, because of a He passed away unexpectedly. He took his father's place as a worker and came to work in our steel rolling mill!" Director Liu grabbed Ma Hua's arm, pulled him in front of Sha Zhu, and introduced Ma Hua's origins.
Silly Zhu glanced at the young Ma Hua, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He was so young and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Ma Hua himself looked a bit young, so he looked one or two years younger than he actually was, and a little thinner. It made Silly Zhu frown a little and said softly.
"This child looks too thin, what can he do?" Director Liu frowned, glared at He Yuzhu, and said sternly.
"What, you don't want it? Yi Zhonghai from your courtyard personally asked me to arrange this child in the back kitchen. If your kid doesn't take care of him, don't blame me and Yi Zhonghai and let him talk to you personally!" Silly! Zhu is not targeting MCA. He is not targeting people. The kitchen seems to be easier than the workshop, but it is also very tiring at the end of the day. There are thousands of workers in the entire steel rolling mill, and there are only a dozen people in the kitchen. So many people have to be prepared. Even if it's just a few large dishes, it's a busy day, and people with weak physical strength simply can't do it.
When Silly Zhu heard what Director Liu said, he quickly grabbed Director Liu who was about to turn around and leave. With an exaggerated apologetic smile on his face, he reached out and lightly slapped his mouth without making a sound, and said with a smile. .
"Director Liu, it's my fault, my fault! You don't remember the faults of others. Please spare me this time. For your sake, how dare I not take care of this child? Don't worry, put him in my care." In just a few months, he was raised strong and strong, and he is definitely a great young man!" The relationship between Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai was different from others. Back then, He Daqing and the widow eloped to Gansu, leaving behind He Yuzhu and He Yu Yu, the brother and sister depended on each other for life. At that time, Sha Zhu was about the same age as MCA today, and He Yu Yu was only about ten years old, and his life was extremely difficult.
If it weren't for the daily care of Yi Zhonghai and his wife, they wouldn't have been able to survive those difficult days. This is why Shazhu was willing to provide for Yi Zhonghai in the future. When he heard that Ma Hua was the person arranged by Yi Zhonghai, he immediately became close to her.
It's just that Sha Zhu is very good at things, and he always sticks to Director Liu, which gives him enough face. Sha Zhu also knows the world of people very well, otherwise how can he be a chef? You must know that their profession of chef has great rules, no matter it is Whether you are learning from a master or going to the host's house to help prepare a banquet, you must understand the rules and etiquette.
Director Liu looked at the flattering He Yuzhu, knowing that what he said was false, he still nodded with satisfaction and turned to Ma Hua.
"Ma Hua, this is Comrade He Yuzhu, the chef of the cafeteria. From now on, you will work under his hands. Don't look at his every detail, but he is very skilled. If you can learn from him in the future, it will be enough for you. I won’t have to worry about food and clothing in this life!" No matter when, God will never kill the craftsmen. As one of the oldest craftsmanship, cooking has guaranteed harvests in droughts and floods since ancient times. There are always people who need them. Although Silly Zhu works every day in the factory I only get thirty-seven and a half yuan a month, which is equivalent to a second-level fitter, plus a few years of service, but there is always private work to do. Who has a wedding or funeral? Silly Zhu can do it every time he goes there. He received a few yuan in red envelopes and added some ingredients, which was enough to cover his salary for half a month. He was nourished. Otherwise, Shazhu would not be able to help Qin Huairu's family.
"Don't worry, Director Liu, I will learn from Master He!" Ma Hua said sincerely. He did not have any plans to develop his ambitions in this life. Before reincarnation, he had sealed all the knowledge and wisdom he had learned before. The purpose is to prevent the memories of previous lives from affecting the present, which is not conducive to understanding the world of mortals, so these words are extremely sincere. He has never been a cook, and experiencing a life different from the past is also a kind of accumulation and enlightenment for him. .
Director Liu looked at Ma Hua and Shazhu, nodded, and then left the kitchen. He didn't want to waste too much time and just wanted to introduce them. Ma Hua would naturally be familiar with other things.
After Sha Zhu and Ma Hua sent Director Liu away, Sha Zhu turned to look at Ma Hua. After all, thinking that he was young and had a crush on Yi Zhonghai, he gave a few words of advice.
"You can't do any heavy work now. Let's start with Liu Lan and help wash the dishes. When the cafeteria opens, go help with the dishes!"
"Liu Lan, I will leave Ma Hua to you first, so that he can get familiar with the work of the kitchen!" Liu Lan responded, walked to Ma Hua with a smile, took Ma Hua aside, and sat directly in front of the basin. , let him wash the vegetables together.
Ma Hua was also obedient. He shouted to Sister Liu one after another without any pretense. He rolled up his sleeves and began to wash the vegetables.
