Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

I just happened to meet Sun Dahu who was taking out the garbage. "Dahu, we don't have much coal left at home. If you have time, can you help me get 50 kilograms of coal?"

"Okay, I have nothing to do right now. Brother Guang, please give me the coal purchase permit."

Unexpectedly, this was heard by the second aunt who was washing clothes. She hurriedly said, "Da Hu, my family's coal is almost used up. Could you please bring back 50 kilograms of coal?"

Sun Dahu hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

"Second aunt, I paid Dahu for hauling coal. You can't let him work for nothing." Pei Guang said with some dissatisfaction. It's not right to get something for nothing like this.

Chapter 26: Transferred to the Third Canteen

The second aunt's face froze. She didn't hear the two people talking about the reward just now, and she was still mocking Sun Dahu for being a fool in her heart.

"Look at what you said, Xiao Guang. Second Aunt is not that kind of person."

"I'll let my family go in broad daylight later." The second aunt said awkwardly.

Pei Guang didn't care. He went into the house to get the coal purchase certificate, handed the money and certificate to Sun Dahu, and then pushed his bicycle out of the yard.

When I arrived at the tailor shop, the custom-made clothes were already made.

Pei Guang walked into the dressing room and tried it on. The size was suitable, but the fabric was not as comfortable as those in later generations, and the breathability was not that good. There was an indescribable weird feeling.

Then I thought I was being too pretentious. It was good enough to have new clothes to wear, but I was still being picky.

After paying the balance, he returned to the courtyard with the clothes.

Pei Liyun took the clothes and went straight back to the room to change. Soon a girl in a light blue floral dress appeared in front of him.

"Hey! Whose little fairy has come down to earth? She looks so pretty."

"Oh! Brother!"

When Pei Liyun saw her brother's exaggerated look, her face immediately blushed, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Love of beauty is human nature, and men and women are no exception.

Pei Guang sighed in his heart, wondering who would take away his cabbages in the future.

.......

On the other side, He Yushui, at the urging of her brother, came to Pei's house with her homework book.

As soon as the two walked into the room, He Yushui noticed the new clothes on the bed and a look of envy flashed in her eyes.

"Wow! Liyun, is this the new skirt you bought?"

Pei Liyun giggled, "Not bad, my brother just brought it back."

"It's pretty. Your brother is so nice to you."

The two best friends chatted and laughed for a while, and under He Yushui's lead, the topic slowly shifted to Pei Guang.

"Liyun, did your brother find a master outside? How come his cooking skills have suddenly become so good?"

Pei Liyun blinked and said casually, "He said he learned a skill from someone. I didn't ask for the details."

He Yushui frowned, it seemed that her best friend was unaware of the situation, so she had to think of another way.

When it was dinner time, He Yushui still had no intention of leaving, so she had a meal at Pei's house at the invitation of her best friend.

He picked up the cabbage and tasted it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

This was the first time He Yushui had eaten dishes cooked by Pei Guang. Only then did she deeply appreciate the superb cooking skills of Pei Guang, which were a world apart from her brother's.

Even the most common bok choy has a completely different taste.

"Brother Xiao Guang, the food you cook is so delicious!"

"I'm glad you like it. Come to our house often when you have time." Pei Guang said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

"By the way, Brother Xiao Guang, have you found a master outside? Your cooking skills have improved so quickly."

Pei Guang's eyes flickered for a moment, and he laughed and said, "I just learned a few tricks casually. I'll improve quickly if I practice more."

"That's because Brother Xiaoguang is very talented. How can ordinary people improve so quickly?"

It was just as her brother thought, but the other person had no intention of revealing anything, and continuing to ask would be too obvious.

Alas! The road ahead is long and arduous, and it seems that we will never be able to find out the truth.

After returning home after dinner, Sha Zhu asked about this matter eagerly.

"Brother Xiao Guang has a master, but he didn't say who it was."

Sha Zhu felt discouraged, seeing the master right next to him, but he had no chance to meet him. Was he destined to be the eternal second?

Then he started to complain about his father, who ran away before he even finished teaching him how to cook Tan family dishes, leaving him in a state of being neither good nor bad.

I have finally learned some skills from a Sichuan chef, but my skills are still not good enough and it seems that I cannot compete with Pei Guang for the time being.

......

After moving the coal with Sun Dahu, Pei Guang gave him two kilograms of flour as a reward.

"Brother Guang, I also brought back 50 kilograms myself, so there's really no need to give me that much."

"Take it if you give it to me. I'll call you next time if I need anything."

Sun Dahu felt grateful in his heart. He was not afraid of the itch even if he had too many lice. He could not repay this favor for the time being. He just hoped that the good man would have a peaceful life.

......

The next day after work, Pei Guang went straight to Liang Weimin's office.

Seeing Pei Guang coming in, Liang Weimin greeted him warmly.

Pei Guang's reputation has spread widely during this period. Everyone knows that there is a chef in charge of the third canteen and his big pot meals are cooked in a unique way.

At first, he was puzzled when he heard about it. It was not like he had never tasted Pei Guang's cooking skills before, but it was not to this extent. Later, he went to the third canteen to have a meal, and then he realized that this kid had hidden something from him.

This was also a big surprise. The more happy the workers were with the meal, the more secure his position as director would be.

With such a great general under his command, it is natural that he needs to be won over.

"Master Pei, what brings you here today?"

Pei Guang said softly: "Director, I just want to trouble you with a small matter."

Liang Weimin waved his hand and said generously: "You tell me, I can still make the decision on small matters."

"I would like to ask the director to transfer Sun Shaokang from the first canteen over here. I plan to teach him how to cook a big pot meal."

Liang Weimin was delighted. This was a small matter for him, and he could also do Pei Guang a favor. Moreover, the factory would have one more chef who could cook big pot dishes, so there would be a backup candidate if something went wrong.

"Master Pei, I agree to this. You can go back first. I will send the person to you later."

Pei Guang expressed his gratitude. As expected, with the display of strength, some things could be easily solved.

Half an hour later, Liang Weimin led Sun Shaokang to the third canteen, and another kitchen helper went to the first canteen.

"Xiaokang, cut the potatoes first and we can deal with the rest later." Pei Guang ordered in front of everyone.

"Hey!"

Sun Shaokang happily came to the chopping board and started to work. Brother Guang was really awesome. He transferred him over so easily.

It’s definitely right to hang out with him!

The others understood at this point that the two of them came from the same cafeteria and it was obvious at a glance that they had a close relationship.

So everyone else started to get close to Sun Shaokang. Now the kitchen was Pei Guang's world, and it was just a matter of a word from him to play a prank on others.

I don’t ask for friendship, but I hope everyone can live in peace!

Sun Shaokang, who had just entered society, was taught a lesson. It turned out that this was what it was like to be a person with connections. No wonder so many people liked to use the backdoor.

After lunch, Pei Guang took Sun Shaokang for a walk outside.

"Xiaokang, you should know that physical fitness is essential for cooking big pot meals. You should pay more attention to exercise in your daily life."

Pei Guang wore a new shirt to work today. The muscle lines on his arms were clearly visible, and it was obvious that he was very strong.

Sun Shaokang compared the two men and found that Brother Guang was so strong now. It seemed that he exercised a lot in his daily life.

"Brother Guang, how should I exercise?"

Then Pei Guang shared his own experience in fitness. If he continued to train in this way, it would not be a problem to have a big pot meal in a few months.

"Thank you, Brother Guang. I will definitely work harder and strive to reach the standard as soon as possible." Sun Shaokang promised solemnly.

"That's good. I'll teach you how to cook a big pot of rice later."

Chapter 27 Special Tasks

In mid-June, under the starry night sky, there were a few clear cicada chirps.

Pei Guang and several others were playing cards with their bare chests at Yan's house. With Pei Guang deliberately letting them win, the fight became a deadlock.

Two hours later, Xu Damao was the first to collapse and announced that the battle tonight was over.

Just as they were about to leave, Yan Jiecheng stopped Pei Guang.

After several times of playing cards together, he felt that their relationship was close and it was time to have a frank talk.

"Brother Guang, I haven't found a job for a while since I graduated. Can I learn cooking from you?"

Pei Guang was shocked. He didn't expect that after so much time, Yan Jiecheng still hadn't given up this idea.

After thinking for a while, Pei Guang said in a deep voice: "Jie Cheng, I can only teach you how to make a big pot meal, but the prerequisite is that you have to work in the canteen of the steel mill."

"Even if I want to teach you, I don't have the materials. You should discuss it with your father."

Yan Jiecheng naturally understood this and hurriedly ran to Yan Fugui's house.

Yan Fugui felt very embarrassed after hearing what had happened. Everyone was scrambling for a job, so how could it be a turn for the Yan family?

"I'll go find Lao Yi and try!" He said and walked out.

......

The next morning, the sun was scorching the earth, and the hot earth was scorching people like an invisible steamer.

Pei Guang was already sweating profusely when he came to the kitchen. He drank a sip of herbal tea and felt refreshed and happy.

At this time, Liang Weimin, who was also sweating profusely, walked in and saw the figure at a glance.

"Hello, director!"

"Hello, director!"

When everyone in the cafeteria saw the newcomers, they all greeted them warmly.

"well!"

Liang Weimin walked quickly to Pei Guang, his face full of anxiety, "Master Pei, I wonder how your Sichuan cuisine is, the kind of stir-fry?"

Sha Zhu, who worked at the second stove, was overjoyed when he heard this. Although his Sichuan cuisine was not yet up to par, he could still make a stir-fry without any problem.

In his opinion, Pei Guang didn't know how to cook Sichuan cuisine. This was a good opportunity for him to come forward!

Pei Guang's eyes gleamed, and various possibilities flashed through his mind.

"Director, Sichuan cuisine is my specialty!"

Liang Weimin was overjoyed, "Master Pei, the factory needs a Sichuan cuisine chef for reception. Do you have the confidence to take on this task?"

As he said this, he looked at Pei Guang expectantly, feeling quite nervous.

I just received a notice from Deputy Director Li, saying that a leader was coming for a surprise inspection and asked him to prepare a table of Sichuan cuisine to entertain them.

Liang Weimin couldn't help but curse. How could they give such a sudden notice and even find a Sichuan chef? Could it be that they wanted him to be reborn?

Alas! The leader gave the order, so how could a small soldier like him have any room to object?

He knew the skills of several chefs in the factory very well. They were only good at cooking big pot dishes, let alone Sichuan stir-fry dishes.

It's rare to find a chef who only specializes in Shandong cuisine. Isn't this making things difficult for Fat Tiger?

After some thought, he suddenly thought of Pei Guang, a new talent, and he had to give it a try.

I didn’t expect that he was such a treasure, mastering Sichuan cuisine at such a young age.
