Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Courtyard 95.

After getting off work, Yi Zhonghai rushed back to the courtyard and went straight to Sha Zhu's house, where he found Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, something terrible has happened."

Sha Zhu was taken aback, then asked nonchalantly, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Yi Zhonghai said urgently, "Shazhu, Qin Jingru has joined the steel rolling mill and gone to the third canteen. She is now the head chef of the third canteen, replacing you as the hostess, and her salary is much higher than yours."

Sha Zhu frowned, somewhat incredulous, and said, "Uncle, this can't be, right? Qin Jingru is just a country girl, how could she possibly cook? How could she possibly take my place?"

"Silly Zhu!"

Yi Zhonghai, his face grim, roared angrily.

"I'm telling you the truth. At noon today, Dongxu and I went to the third canteen for lunch and saw Qin Jingru getting food there."

"Afterwards, I asked Lao Liu in the kitchen. He said that Qin Jingru went to the kitchen to taste the dishes the day before yesterday. Deputy Factory Director Li and other leaders were very satisfied with the dishes Qin Jingru made. They let Qin Jingru work as a deputy director of the canteen with a salary of 78.5 yuan. Also, your position as team leader has been taken away. From now on, you will be under Qin Jingru's management in the third canteen."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's eyes widened, and he asked in shock, "Grandpa, are you telling the truth?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded emphatically, his face grim, and said, "Shazhu, how could I lie to you about something like this? Qin Jingru was getting food in the cafeteria, and she even cooked for me and Dongxu at noon. Quite a few people in our compound saw that."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief and asked, "Uncle, Qin Jingru is just a country girl, how could she know how to cook?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "I don't know either, but I heard from Lao Liu that Qin Jingru's cooking is much better than yours, so the leaders let her work as a substitute for a manager and receive the salary of deputy director of the canteen, a full 78.5 yuan, which is more than twice your 37.5 yuan."

"By the way, you've lost your position as class monitor, which means you've lost the two yuan class monitor allowance. Your salary is now only 35.5 yuan."

"Shazhu, how's your injury? If it's nothing serious, you'd better hurry back to the factory and have a cooking competition with Qin Jingru. If you can beat her, you can keep your position at the factory. Otherwise, you probably won't be able to stay in the kitchen in the future."

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's account, Sha Zhu realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't have time to consider how Qin Jingru could cook.

"Uncle, I can't flip the wok yet, but I should be almost better in three days. I'll go back to work in three days and then I'll have a cooking contest with Qin Jingru. I don't believe that a country girl's cooking skills can be that good. As long as my cooking skills are better than Qin Jingru's, I'll still be the one to cook for you from now on."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "That's all we can do for now. Sha Zhu, you get some rest. I'll head back now."

"become."

After Yi Zhonghai left, Sha Zhu frowned deeply. Qin Jingru had taken his place and was earning more than twice his salary, which he found hard to believe.

the other side.

When Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng returned to the house, they told their families about Qin Jingru joining the steel rolling mill and working in the kitchen.

When Qin Huairu heard that Qin Jingru had entered the steel rolling mill and become a head chef with a salary of 78.5 yuan, which was more than twice that of Jia Dongxu, she was so envious that her eyes turned red.

According to her memory, Jingru could cook, but her skill level was about the same as hers, far from being a master chef. How could Jingru's cooking skills suddenly become so good? And directly replace Shazhu's position?

not good.

Jingru has taken Shazhu's place. How will Shazhu bring her food in the future? That means Shazhu won't be able to support her family anymore.

As for asking Jingru to bring her groceries and help out her family, Qin Huairu thought it was impossible; Shazhu was easier to control.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu stamped her feet anxiously on the spot.

When Jia Zhangshi heard that Qin Jingru had become the head chef at the steel rolling mill and earned 78.5 yuan a month, she was consumed with jealousy and cursed loudly:

"Qin Jingru, that wretched girl from the countryside, what right does she have to be the head chef in the factory and earn such a high salary? This Qin Jingru is just like Wang Feng, both heartless little beasts. They earn such high salaries but don't even know how to be filial to their mothers. It's no wonder they have no descendants."

As she spoke, Madam Jia pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed, "Qin Huairu, look at you, what good are you?"

"what?"

"Qin Jingru, that lowly country bumpkin, has only been in the city for a few months and she's already the head chef at the factory, earning such a high salary? You're her own cousin, and you can't even find a job, so my Dongxu has to earn money to support you. You're such a good-for-nothing."

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, looking aggrieved. "Mom, I want to earn money too, to make our family's life better, but what can I do?"

Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes and shouted, "You dare to talk back?"

As she spoke, Jia Zhangshi pinched Qin Huairu hard, and in no time, Qin Huairu's whole body was covered in bruises.

"Waaaaah."

Qin Huairu cried in grievance as she was being pinched, but she dared not dodge, otherwise she would be subjected to an even more severe beating.

Jia Dongxu watched coldly, his mind pounding with frustration. He never imagined that Qin Jingru, a woman from the countryside, would suddenly become the factory's head chef, and that she held a deep grudge against him, otherwise she wouldn't have made him toss the wok today.

With Qin Jingru working in the cafeteria, he will have to spend a lot more money to eat his fill, which will increase the burden on his family considerably.

Soon, Qin Jingru entered the steel rolling mill and worked in the canteen. She even replaced Sha Zhu as a waitress, earning a full 78.5 yuan a month, which caused a huge uproar in the factory.

78.5 yuan! That's one of the highest salaries in the hospital. Besides Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Wang Feng, Qin Jingru has the highest salary.

Wang Feng and Qin Jingru's combined salary was a full 166 yuan, which was much higher than the income of Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter. This made everyone in the yard green with envy.

Some people in the courtyard were happy, some were angry, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were indifferent.

The front yard, the Yan family's house.

Yan Jiecheng ate a cornbread and said to Yan Fugui with a bitter face, "Dad, Qin Jingru was serving food in the kitchen today, and she tossed the wok for me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui frowned deeply.

"Jiecheng, I suspect Qin Jingru suspects you killed her chicken and is getting revenge on you. If all else fails, you should just eat at a different cafeteria from now on."

Yan Jiecheng said with a wry smile, "Dad, our foundry workshop is closest to the third canteen. Changing the canteen would mean walking a lot more."

Yan Fugui frowned and sighed deeply: "Jiecheng, how about this, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Wang Feng and ask him to persuade Qin Jingru to give you more food in the cafeteria, or at least not to toss you around in the wok."

"Okay, thank you, Dad."
