Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 265 If you don’t see the rabbit, don’t let the eagle fly.

When he was about to get off work at noon, He Yuanchao, who was thirsty after chatting in various security rooms, strolled towards the cafeteria.

As for Liu Lihua telling her to keep her stomach full and not eat, that is pure nonsense.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

If it weren't for the fact that this cadre had a good status after time travel, He Yuanchao's current body's demand for food would have been subdued by hunger long ago.

Without any fat in his stomach, how could he care about this or that, trying to cultivate a good reputation for being affectionate and devoted to his nephew.

Zao Jian Tian crouched in a corner, wondering where he could eat to fill his belly.

People who have never endured hunger may never understand this generation’s obsession with food.

Not to mention that the bark of wild vegetables and trees all over the mountains and plains were dug up, and even if food was found in mouse holes, the entire nest of mice would have to be taken away.

Some people are even so hungry that they even fill their mouths with Guanyin soil.

Of course, things are a little better now, but they are not much better than they were in the 1960s. Now that the family has a large population, they are already tightening their belts.

Seeing Si Zhu in a hurry and leaving the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After entering the kitchen and passing by Silly Zhu, who was leaning on the stove with a teapot and drinking water, Liu Lan smiled and said: "Zhuzi, your uncle is coming to the canteen for dinner, why don't you hurry up and send him the lunch box."

Everyone can see the changes in Shazhu in the past six months.

"Thank you, Sister Liu, let's go now."

"I don't know if there can be some meat in today's dish. I'm going to rebel in my stomach after eating so little soup all day."

Not only is the office building close to the canteen, but people in the agency don't have to wait for the workshop to get off work and can queue up to buy meals in advance.

After saying that, Liu Lan didn't care about everyone's reaction, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Those who know how to calculate, whether they are workers or cadres, set their sights on their respective unit canteens every day in order to save some food for their families.

……

After briefly greeting a few familiar people, He Yuanchao found a window and lined up.

At this moment, the advantages of cadres over workers are revealed.

With that said, Silly Zhu put down the teapot in his hand, picked up the aluminum lunch box prepared on the stove and walked out.

Although they had already guessed that the food in the cafeteria was still potatoes, radishes, and cabbage, but before the cafeteria staff brought the dishes, everyone still stretched their necks to sprinkle them in.

"Come on, the supply of supplies is a bit tight now, just be satisfied if you can keep your stomach full!"

While everyone was chatting away, Liu Lan and Fatty from the cafeteria walked behind the meal window carrying a large pot of potato stewed with cabbage.

"We are all cadres. Don't be as unqualified as the hard-working workers. Take your heads back quickly and be careful of your laziness."

I’m buying a bicycle, I’m getting married, I’m getting a wife, and recently I heard that I’m going to get a promotion.

When He Yuanchao opened the door and walked into the canteen, there were already people standing in groups of three or three in front of the four open meal windows.

Bang~~
Putting the vegetable basin on the counter, Liu Lan raised her head and glanced at the people outside the window, then smiled, nodded and reached into the person in the window.

"Yes, Lao Zhang, don't have too high demands. If you really want to improve your life, I'll give you a chance. Please find me a restaurant to have a meal."

These are all good things, and they all work in the same house. Everyone is envious of such a close uncle in Shazhu Stall.

"Hmph, if Silly Zhu didn't have a good uncle, he would be promoted to an egg just because of his temper and foul mouth!"

Listening to everyone's envy of Silly Zhu, a cooking chef in his fifties threw his spoon into the pot and said angrily.

The fat man who had just entered the back kitchen heard this and looked at the speaker with disdain. "Master Wu, what you said is wrong.

Although Master He's words don't sound nice, the work he does is real. Based on this, why can't he be promoted to a professional title? "

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the voices of everyone in the room started to cheer.

"Yes, Master Wu, there is nothing wrong with what the fat man said."

"Don't those who practice crafts have to rely on their strength? It has nothing to do with temperament and character?"

"I don't understand, what are you talking about? Why didn't our director ask Uncle Silly Zhu to take the exam before he came back?"

"Oh! It's different to have a good uncle! I hate it! I wish I could replace him with my own body, right Master Wu?"

……

Listening to everyone's chatter and ridicule, Master Wu lost his composure, raised his legs and walked over to the proud fat man.

Liu Lan, who was originally watching the excitement, didn't know what was wrong at this moment. He took two steps forward and stood in front of Master Wu.

"Master Wu, please calm down. It's time to put the food. The people from the agency are still waiting!"

With that said, Liu Lan smiled and grabbed Master Wu's arm and walked towards his own stove.

The aggressive Master Wu struggled a few times symbolically, and then followed Liu Lan's strength and returned to his stove.

hum~~
Master Wu glared at the fat man with a livid face, and then said to Liu Lan angrily: "If you hadn't stopped me today, I would have taught him a lesson."

Hearing this, Liu Lan followed his words and smiled and said: "You are the old man in our kitchen, show your style, don't be as knowledgeable as that silly boy.

Besides, it's not worth having to live with your own salary just because of a few quarrels. "

……

After comforting Master Wu, Liu Lan came to the fat man with a straight face.

"What are you doing here? Come and follow me to the canteen in front to carry the food!"

The fat man was very smart and knew that Liu Lan was doing it for his own good. He didn't say a word when he heard this. He picked up the vegetable basin and walked out with Liu Lan.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, Liu Lan smiled and said: "Okay, fat man, you are really willing to go out of your way to become my disciple!"

Seeing that Liu Lan had pointed out his little idea, the fat man didn't care, and said with aggrieved expression: "Isn't there nothing we can do? I've been grinding Master He for almost three months, and he didn't even nod!
If I don't seize the opportunity to perform well here, I guess I won't have anything to worry about when new people come into the factory. "

After saying that, the fat man rolled his eyes and said to Liu Lan with a flattering face: "Sister Liu, you know Master He best, do you have anything you can teach me?

Don't worry, as long as this thing is done, I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life, and I will never say a word if anything happens to Sister Liu in the future. "

After hearing this, Liu Lan rolled her eyes at the fat man who was trying to be clever with him.

"If I had a good idea, I would have learned how to cook from a long time ago. Why would I have to do such strenuous chores as I do now?"

When Fatty saw Liu Lan finish speaking, he stopped talking to him and didn't take it seriously. He continued to whisper and beg her to find a way for him.

Listening to the fat man's endless flattery, Liu Lan had a smile on her face, but her mouth seemed to be welded to death and she didn't say anything.

No one is a fool. The fat man had his own purpose in running against Master Wu just now. Liu Lan's help was not without his own little thoughts.

As the old saying goes, it's better to bully an old man than a young man.

Master Wu is old, so that's it, but Fatty is different.

Not to mention what great potential Fatty will have in the future, with his current shameless energy, I guess sooner or later Shazhu will agree to his apprenticeship.

But the fat man doesn’t want to get any real benefits, so he just lies here with empty words. He just wants me to give you some advice and go ahead and make your big dreams come true!
