Chapter 175 Work
At noon, after consulting with the canteen manager, Squad Leader Zhao followed Sha Zhu's advice and added braising liquid to all the large pot dishes he cooked, making them incredibly delicious.
After finishing cooking the large pot of vegetables, Sha Zhu took some hand-pulled noodles made by Aunt Liu from the cutting board in the back kitchen and went to the small kitchen to cook them.
After the noodles were cooked, a spoonful of hot braised broth was poured over them, along with a large pot of vegetables brought over by his apprentice. Just as Sha Zhu was about to start eating, the door to the small kitchen opened again.
"Hey, Little He, you're sneaking food again." Before you could even see Sister Liu from the HR department, her voice had already reached your ears.
Sha Zhu turned his head and saw Sister Liu walking in with a lunchbox.
"Sister Liu, don't talk nonsense. When did I steal food?" Sha Zhu said indignantly, as if he had really become a thief.
"Isn't that stealing food? I just checked in the cafeteria lobby, and there aren't any noodles at all today. What's on your table?"
"Don't tell me you brought it from home. I've already seen the hand-pulled noodles on the cutting board in the kitchen." Sister Liu accused Sha Zhu with a righteous indignation.
"Alright, Sister Liu, you're drooling, stop pretending. Just say you want some. Don't nitpick, this is a perk for our kitchen staff. Don't accuse me of stealing food."
"Then why don't you make me a bowl of noodles? Or I'll go to the cafeteria and start yelling. Fine, I'll just eat this bowl. Make me a new one."
After Sister Liu finished speaking, she walked to the small table, sat down, and moved Sha Zhu's bowl of noodles in front of her, eating it without any hesitation.
"How should I put it?" Sha Zhu thought to himself. "Are we that close? I don't even know your name."
Sister Liu, without any hesitation, slurped her food down, ignoring her own lunchbox which she had tossed aside.
"Hmm. Zhu Zi, you know what, it's even better than Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste)."
Just when the kitchen staff were out of frying thorns, a young woman from outside came in and didn't hold back at all.
This guy is way too friendly. Even so, Sha Zhu doesn't have a good solution. He's in the HR department, and everyone in the factory has to put on a smile when he sees him.
Sha Zhu cooked another bowl of noodles, returned to the table, and seeing Sister Liu eating with relish, asked, "Sister Liu, we're so familiar with each other, yet I still don't know your name."
Sister Liu glanced up at Sha Zhu, then lowered her head to continue struggling with the noodles. She mumbled indistinctly, "I'm not telling you."
Sha Zhu is convinced, but you still won't tell me. You probably already have a child, and I'm not going to pursue you.
"Sister Liu, what brings you to our kitchen again? We didn't see Director Lou's daughter today."
"Oh, you mean that young girl? She rarely comes to the factory. I only looked after her temporarily yesterday."
As for running to the kitchen again, it's probably because the cafeteria hall was packed with people who wanted to check if Chef He had sneaked into the small kitchen to steal some food again.
Sure enough, it was a pleasant surprise. I've decided that I'll come to the kitchen regularly for spot checks from now on." After saying this, Sister Liu chuckled and started eating the big pot of food that Sha Zhu had cooked on the table.
This leaves absolutely nothing for Sha Zhu; he's suffered a huge loss. He wants to get revenge on Sister Liu, but it seems the HR department only handles recruitment.
She can't help me much anyway. Whatever, asking is just a matter of asking. What's a headache for Director Wang of the neighborhood office every day is probably a piece of cake for the personnel department.
If I get the urge to mess around and want to find a prostitute to show off, I'll have to keep protecting Director Wang first. Sigh, I don't know if it's just my own impulsiveness or if that big dick was really that satisfying, but I still can't stop thinking about it.
"Sister Liu, has your factory announced any new job openings recently?"
"If you guys are looking for me, it must be for recruitment positions. Well, what can I do? I work in the HR department, that's what I'm in charge of. Xiao He, I haven't had a full bowl of rice yet, what do you suggest we do?"
"Sis, the food in the pot will be ready soon, but sis, your belly looks pretty big, don't overeat."
"You've eaten as much as I do! Do you want another bowl? Or should I pack it up?" "No! The noodles will get soggy and we can't eat them," Sha Zhu said hesitantly.
"Don't underestimate me, it's all your fault for making the noodles so delicious. Don't worry, I've finally had a chance to improve my meals these past few days, and I haven't eaten this satisfyingly in a long time."
You have no idea how stingy my mother-in-law is. Whenever I'm on my day off, she'll spend a few extra cents on groceries.
She can nag me all day. Yesterday I took the leftover braised meat home for my family to eat.
My mother-in-law scolded me again for wasting money, and even went to the neighbor's house to ask if our cafeteria had meat yesterday. I was so angry!
"They have money at home but are reluctant to spend it. I wonder if the old lady in the family wants to take the family's money to the ground."
I had originally reserved two spots for my family, but since you asked, you're lucky to get one.
Sister Liu finished her first bowl of noodles with satisfaction. She had just placed the second bowl, which Sha Zhu had brought over, in front of her when she suddenly seemed to remember something.
He asked, "Zhu Zi, didn't I hear that it seems like it's just you and your sister in your family? I think I've seen your sister before. Your father used to bring her to the factory often. She was only six or seven years old, I think. Who are you looking for a job for?"
"Sister Liu, what you're saying is true. Although I, He Yuzhu, am a bit reckless, I still have a few good friends, right?"
Of course, I was just asking. If it's too much trouble for you, Sister Liu, you should keep the spot for yourself. I don't want to owe you a big favor.
"What big favor? It might be difficult for others, but it's a piece of cake for me, just like you, Zhuzi."
"If others want something better to eat, it's not easy to make it happen. Like these two bowls of noodles in front of us, even the factory manager didn't get to eat them, but you cooks can eat whatever you want."
"Um, Sister Liu, you can't say things like that. We just turned the flour from our lunch of steaming buns into noodles."
Sister Liu rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu, "Alright, I didn't say anything. Next time you get something good to eat, remember to order from me!"
In the afternoon, an unknown HR lady named Sister Liu delivered two job postings to Sha Zhu.
As he left, he took a few candies from Sha Zhu's pocket.
The reason was that Sha Zhu saw Sister Liu finish her meal while he hadn't eaten, and he felt embarrassed to take that little bit of noodles from the kitchen staff's food.
He took a candy out of his pocket and licked his lips, thinking that after seeing Sister Liu off, he would go to the small warehouse to eat, and he figured Sister Liu would see him eating candy.
Having found a convenient spot in the kitchen in the afternoon, he naturally didn't want to work overtime. Anyway, Team Leader Zhao didn't care about Sha Zhu anymore, so he respectfully saw Sha Zhu off at the cafeteria door when it was time to leave work.
Sha Zhu was riding his bicycle back to the entrance of the alley and was about to turn into the alley when he heard someone calling him from the direction of the neighborhood office.
As he stood looking around, Li Gang, a young clerk from the neighborhood office, ran over from a distance. "Zhu Zi, Director Wang told me to keep an eye on you. When you get off work, go to the neighborhood office; Director Wang wants to see you."
"Looking for me, Brother Li? Do you know why Director Wang wants to see me?" Sha Zhu asked, puzzled.
Li Gang shook his head, saying uncertainly, "It seems someone came looking for Director Wang yesterday."
Director Wang was busy, so he sent the person away. Before leaving, Director Wang said, "This He Yuzhu is giving me trouble again!"
"Zhu Zi, what have you done now? Why are people from other neighborhoods coming to our neighborhood office to complain?"
"Really? No way," Sha Zhu thought to himself. "Could it be that the people in the kitchen went to find Director Wang? How could they have done it so quickly?"
Sha Zhu underestimated the importance of skills in this era. In his previous life, the internet was full of videos teaching cooking skills, but that was in a more advanced era with advanced internet.
Even though most people nowadays think that cooks are just servants, there are still so many people who would beg and plead to get a job serving others.
Sha Zhu now seriously suspects that those who say cooks are just servants are just being sour, they've had too much vinegar in their mouths.
