Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

In total, he exchanged two kilograms of cotton coupons and 25 feet of cloth coupons, then went to buy the materials for Liang Ladi to make clothes.

Liang Ladi was overjoyed when she heard this, and she wished there would be more of this good thing.

"Xiao Guang, can you bring me some pork? The other Liang sisters don't need it either."

Pei Guang pondered for a while. The reward for making two pieces of clothing was 1 yuan. The market price of pork was 5 cents per pound, and a meat ticket was required. The black market price was about 5 yuan per pound. So he only needed to pay taels of pork.

After the reward was mentioned, Liang Ladi readily agreed.

Then Liang Ladi took measurements of the brother and sister, and they prepared to order a set of cotton clothes and pants for each of them.

Pei Guang was quite curious about their relationship at this time. Thinking about Sha Zhu's blind date today, he wanted to test Liang Ladi's attitude. Logically, there shouldn't be anything between the two of them, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Sister Liang, are you planning to live alone from now on? Have you ever thought about finding another man?"

Liang Ladi joked, "It's not that easy to find, why don't you just take me in right now, Xiao Guang!"

Pei Liyun was furious and said hurriedly: "Sister Liang, there is a huge age gap between you and my brother, and... and..."

"Oh! You two are not suitable anyway."

Liang Ladi almost bent over with laughter. This little girl was so funny.

Pei Guang patted his sister's head with a frown on his face, "Sister Liang is joking, you can't tell that."

Pei Liyun suddenly realized, lowered her head and her ears blushed, she really felt like her pig was being targeted by a big bad wolf.

Liang Ladi was a little hesitant at this time, so she just wanted to find someone to help her make a decision.

"Xiao Guang, do you think a widow like me can really find a man to start over?"

Pei Guang's expression changed. "Could it be that Sister Liang already has a target?"

Liang Ladi said calmly, "No, it's just that I suddenly had an idea after hearing what you said."

"Hey! What's the big deal? The country now encourages widows to remarry. This kind of thing requires both parties to be willing."

She was naturally clear about this, but the difficulty lay in how to make Sha Zhu like her.

Pei Guang was still a little depressed when he left. Liang Ladi was as cunning as a monkey and couldn't get anything out of him.

In the following time, under Xu Damao's constant ridicule, Sha Zhu kissed several times.

Either the girl was not to his liking, or he finally found one that he liked, but the girl didn't like him. There were also one or two girls that he liked, but they were rejected by the other person after just a few days of dating.

After a few times, the matchmaker seemed to have heard the rumors and ignored him, so the marriage was delayed.

.........

In January of 59, a week before the Chinese New Year.

In the early morning of that day, Pei Guang went to several black markets and gained another thousand kilograms of food in his space.

There are already nearly 4,000 kilograms of food in the space, not to mention other meats and vegetables. I believe it will not be a problem to survive the next three years.

He also noticed that there were signs of rising food prices recently, and it was self-evident what this signal meant.

This situation is an inevitable trend, and since it cannot be changed, we can only temporarily protect the people around us.

The next day, Pei Guang just arrived at the kitchen when he received a notice from Liang Weimin that Director Yang had a reception that required his help.

During this period of time, his cooking skills have improved day by day and have already reached the master level. Everyone who has eaten his food applauds and praises him.

Note: Skill levels are divided into entry-level, proficient, proficient, master, and grandmaster.

The skills of cooking, fitness, gambling, and fishing have all been upgraded to the next level, and the system has rewarded a lot of supplies.

When his cooking skills reached the master level, he had more cooking methods for medicinal foods and various secret recipes in his mind, but they were of no use for the time being.

According to his estimation, his cooking skills are no less than that of a level four chef.

When my fitness skills were upgraded, my height increased by two centimeters, but my body shape didn't change much, except that my muscle strength increased a lot.

He didn't have the chance to test it, but with his current strength, lifting a hundred kilograms shouldn't be a problem.

Pei Guang called Sun Shaokang over and said, "Xiaokang, you will cook today's big pot dish. If I am satisfied, I can ask Director Liang to come and grade it for you."

Two months ago, Pei Guang felt that Sun Shaokang's knife skills had improved rapidly and his physique was also well-trained, so he formally taught him how to cook big pot meals.

Sun Shaokang’s talent is pretty good. Pei Guang had asked him to try frying the food a few times before and the taste was pretty good. He planned to get the grading done today.

Sun Shaokang was overjoyed. He had studied for so long just for today. His face turned red with excitement like a monkey's red butt.

The other kitchen helpers, such as the fat man, looked very unhappy. They had been in the factory longer than Sun Shaokang, and they were watching others being graded, while they had not learned anything. How could they be balanced?

People don’t hate capitalists, they just hate themselves for not being capitalists!

This sentence is a true reflection of their inner thoughts!

Chapter 58: Deputy Director of the Canteen

Sha Zhu's expression was equally complicated, even mixed with a hint of admiration.

Pei Guang's progress was terrifying. The aroma of the dishes would become stronger every once in a while. The workers' feedback was the best proof of this.

He even thought of taking Pei Guang as his master, but he couldn't bring himself to do so, and Pei Guang also said that he had no intention of accepting a disciple.

Even someone as close as Sun Shaokang could only learn how to cook the big pot dishes.

Then Sun Shaokang began to move skillfully, and Pei Guang watched from the side, nodding his approval from time to time.

After all the actions, Sun Shaokang was already exhausted and out of breath, but he insisted on completing the task.

Liang Weimin came over and tasted the food, then said with a smile, "Master Pei is not only good at cooking, but also good at teaching."

Once these words were spoken, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"The director has to know how to use people wisely. Xiaokang, why don't you come over and thank Director Liang?"

Sun Shaokang also understood at this time, and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Director. I will work harder in the future."

Liang Weimin patted him on the shoulder, gave him a few words of encouragement, and then left.

Kitchen helpers like Fatty were extremely envious. After being graded, not only did their salaries increase significantly, but their status was also incomparable.

"Brother Guang, thank you so much, otherwise I don't know when I can be ranked." Sun Shaokang's eyes were red and he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

"Okay, I just did it for the sake of convenience. You still have to work hard on your own."

Pei Guang really didn't think it was a big deal. He could take a break while teaching Sun Shaokang and still get paid. How nice it was.

"I'm not good at talking, but if Brother Guang needs anything in the future, I will do whatever it takes to help him." Sun Shaokang looked very confident, with determination in his eyes.

Pei Guang just smiled it off. With his current abilities, Sun Shaokang wouldn't be able to help if something really happened.

When the time was almost up, he began to prepare his own meal.

The set of movements is smooth and flowing without any unnecessary movements, giving people a sense of artistic beauty.

In the reception room, after Liu Lan brought a plate of Dongpo pork to the table, the director of the meat processing plant couldn't help but ask, "Old Yang, I heard that this chef is only 18 years old. Is that true?"

Director Yang responded with admiration: "Indeed, Master Pei's talent is rare, and he has mastered a good craft at such a young age.

"Why don't you call him over to see if he has three heads and six arms?"

Director Yang's face changed. "Old Sun, don't try to take advantage of Master Pei. He is the treasure of our steel mill."

Director Yang has no choice but to be cautious, as poaching has happened quite frequently in the past two months.

"How could that be? I'm just happy to see you and want to get to know you." Director Sun said calmly, but he already had a plan in mind.

Director Yang then agreed and asked Liu Lan to call the person over.

Pei Guang was not nervous after entering the room. He greeted several people calmly.

Director Sun looked at him in amazement, "Master Pei, seeing your cooking skills are so amazing, I wonder what level of chef you are rated in the factory?"

"Thanks to the appreciation of the leader, I was rated as a Level 6 chef."

Director Sun nodded. The factory’s highest assessment standard is level six, and there is no way to upgrade further.

It seemed that he had to spend some money, so he invited him, "Master Pei, are you interested in coming to the meat processing factory? I just happen to be short of a deputy director of the canteen."

Before Pei Guang could respond, Director Yang went berserk.

"Good old Sun, you just treated everything I said as bullshit, right? We have been friends for so many years."

Although the deputy director of the canteen is not of high rank, there is a fundamental difference between him and an ordinary cook.

Once you become the deputy director of the canteen, it means you have an administrative level and are a cadre with unlimited possibilities for promotion.

But the chef can only be a worker.

There were many people who tried to recruit Pei Guang before, but no one had ever offered him such good conditions, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not be tempted. If such a talent was poached, the workers in the factory would be furious.

Director Sun smiled and said, "It's because we have a good relationship that I said it openly. Let's compete fairly."

"Master Pei, don't worry. No matter what you choose, Lao Yang won't blame you."

Director Yang was so angry that he laughed. His good friend came to hurt him deliberately. He was just a deputy director of the canteen. What if the steel rolling mill couldn’t give him the job?

However, he planned to see what Pei Guang had to say first. As long as he was still in the steel mill, he could not turn the world upside down.

Pei Guang was surprised when he heard such a good offer, but he did not intend to agree. He believed that with his ability, the factory would not treat him unfairly.

The most important thing is that he has a better understanding of the future development of the steel rolling mill. Politics is all about standing in the right line. Following Li Huaide can ensure a worry-free ten years.

No one can predict what will happen in other places.

"Director Sun, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't plan to leave the steel mill. After all, this is where I was trained." Pei Guang said with determination.

Director Yang nodded with satisfaction, a grateful man, and looked at his good friend provocatively.

See! This is the talent trained by our steel mill!

Director Sun sighed helplessly. Even such conditions could be rejected. He had no other choice anyway.

"Master Pei, everyone has seen your performance during this period. I will discuss this with Deputy Director Li later. You must believe that our factory will make good use of every talent." Perhaps because he was worried that he would go back on his word, Director Yang also sent out a signal.

"Thank you, Director Yang. I will continue to work hard and make more contributions to the factory."

Pei Guang was naturally delighted. Although he had little interest in politics, who could refuse a promotion and a raise in salary?

After seeing his good friend off, Director Yang called Li Huaide over and the two had a friendly discussion.

In the afternoon, Pei Guang was called to Li Huaide's office.

After expressing his concern, Li Huaide announced that he would be appointed as the deputy director of the canteen.

To put it simply, it is just a nominal title, but in reality, he is still doing the original kitchen work.

After all, the original intention of the factory leaders to promote him was to retain talent. If they really put him in administrative work, how would they eat?

Originally, there was no such position in the factory, and the sixth-level chef was the highest authority in the factory's assessment. The creation of this position was equivalent to increasing Pei Guang's salary in disguise.

The deputy director of the canteen is equivalent to an administrative level 21 cadre, with a monthly salary of 62 yuan. Such a salary increase is not small.

Pei Guang not only had no objection but was very happy. After all, the difficult period was coming soon, and procurement would be a big problem at that time. Let Liang Weimin worry about it.

Li Huaide felt more relieved when he saw him like this. Isn't someone with good skills and not caring about politics the talent he wants most?
