Zhou Ming didn't want to have too much entanglement with Yan Bugui, although this person was not a big traitor, but he was good at calculating and taking advantage of his life, but Zhou Ming didn't like to come into contact with him, and he was very worried that he would fall into his way if he wasn't careful.

"Silly Zhu, how about you introduce me to a cook?" Yan Bugui didn't ask politely at all.

"Third master, tell me how much money you can give first?"

"Huh? Still want to give money? Yan Bugui stared at the big gong-like eyes in distress, "Isn't it okay to just give some leftovers?" ”

"Shhhh You can't even get an apprentice for leftovers. ”

"Humph! Then I might as well make it myself, and save even the leftovers. Yan Bugui once again regained his instinct to pick the door.

"Hehe, what the third master said makes sense." Zhou Ming was almost laughed at by Yan Bu, and couldn't help but say mockingly, "If you don't say that you can become the housekeeper of our courtyard, it fully shows that you have this strength and brainpower." ”

"Humph! Silly Zhu, don't talk to me about this weird thing. Of course, Yan Bugui heard the ridicule in Zhou Ming's words, "It's really rare for families to be willing to spend money on cooks these days, be careful of starving to death you greedy cooks one day." ”

Looking at the unreasonable Yan Bugui, Zhou Ming really didn't bother to take care of him, and directly turned around and left the courtyard to go to work, and there was no point in debating with this kind of "hob meat".

……

On this day, there are really many people who get married in the capital, and Zhou Ming has turned down the invitations of several families, after all, he has promised Deputy Director Li in advance, and the most important thing in life is to keep his promises.

A green jeep stopped at the door of the second canteen of the rolling mill, and then Zhou Ming took the two apprentices to get into the car directly, because this time the banquet of the main family was very pompous, and directly engaged in twenty tables of guests, so Zhou Ming had to bring two apprentices with him this time.

Many workers looked at it curiously, and the green jeep left the rolling mill with puffs of black smoke, and there were still many workers watching, as if the green jeep was a status symbol.

"Oops! It's amazing! Master He was invited to the banquet again. ”

"Yes! There are many people outside who want to invite our Master He, but they can't get in line! ”

"That's right! We are so lucky to have a master in our rolling mill. ”

……

Yu Haitang is also among the workers who are now "eating melons", listening to the discussions of the workers next to him, silently watching Zhou Ming's highlight moments, his eyes are unconsciously full of little stars, and he feels that this is the status that a man should have.

Xu Damao was the only one who felt jealous and unwilling, muttered a few words of scolding in his mouth, and then in a blink of an eye, he saw the young and beautiful Yu Haitang, who was playing the "factory flower", and hurriedly ran up with a cheap smile.

"Yu Haitang, why are you here? It's not time to eat yet! ”

"Why can you Xu Damao come, but I can't come?" Yu Haitang obviously hates Xu Damao.

"Hehe, of course you can!" Xu Damao hurriedly said with a smile, and then invited Yu Haitang, "Silly Zhu went out to work today, the food in the canteen must be unpalatable, or I will invite you out to eat shabu mutton at noon?" ”

"Oh? How willing would you be? Yu Haitang was really moved.

"Hehe, in order to smile at Bo "Factory Flower", I Xu Damao went out! Xu Damao looked at Yu Haitang with an almost undisguised lewd expression.

It was easy to feel Xu Damao's greed looking at him, and hearing his very frivolous language, Yu Haitang suddenly thought that Zhou Ming said that he was jealous, at that time Yu Haitang just thought that Zhou Ming was joking and intimidating her, and it was not until this moment that she realized that girls need to keep their distance from the opposite sex, after all, normal men will be jealous.

"I'm sorry! Thank you for the invitation, I still like to eat in the workers' canteen. After Yu Haitang figured it out, he felt that the whole person was transparent.

"Yu ......"

Seeing Yu Haitang turn around and leave after casually refusing, Xu Damao's whole person was confused, at first Yu Haitang's heart was obvious, after all, people in this era are "short of meat", why did they suddenly change so quickly?

Director Ren's relatives are obviously really big families, and getting married in this era is a sumptuous meal for the whole family, and such a grand feast of twenty tables is really a luxurious version of the wedding.

As soon as the three of Zhou Ming's master and apprentice came to the wedding banquet venue, they started their busy work, and when they had served twenty tables of guests, every guest was unstoppable, and the newlyweds of the main family were also proud with smiles on their faces, but Zhou Ming's master and apprentice were tired.

"Master He, your cooking skills are amazing, and you are definitely not inferior to the chef of the state banquet." The groom and the bride ran over to thank Zhou Ming.

When Zhou Ming heard the groom's opening remarks, he realized that the other party had definitely participated in the state banquet, otherwise he would not have been able to compare it, and he knew that he couldn't take this favor.

"Hehe, Mr. Su is polite, as long as you are satisfied."

"Master He, our relatives and friends are very satisfied." The groom's spring breeze gave Zhou Ming three red envelopes, "This is a red envelope for Master He, I have worked hard for you today." ”

Zhou Ming felt the thickness of the red envelope, and was also surprised by the groom's atmosphere, and then said with a shirk, "Mr. Su, we can't accept your red envelopes." ”

"Huh? Why is that? The bride and groom were astonished.

"Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, to tell you the truth, we are all regular workers in the rolling mill, and we generally don't come out to work." Zhou Ming realized that he couldn't bear this favor, so he simply gave all the favors to Deputy Director Li, "This is the relationship between Director Ren and our Director Li, so that we can come over and be happy." ”

"Huh? I see. The groom is also a smart person, and he quickly understood what Zhou Ming meant, "But since it is joyful, you must accept this red envelope, which is also our gratitude." ”

"This ...... Then thank you, Mr. Su, Mrs. Su. Seeing that Mr. Su understood what he meant, Zhou Ming accepted the red envelope, "I wish you a hundred years of good union and eternal marriage." ”

Director Ren's driver sent Zhou Ming's master and apprentice back to the rolling mill again, and then drove the green jeep away, looking at the fat man's anxious look, Zhou Ming shook his head with a smile, and handed the red envelope to him and Ma Hua first.

As soon as he got his red envelope, the fat man couldn't wait to open it and found that it was ten pieces of brand-new banknotes, and he couldn't restrain his surprise anymore.

"Master, ten dollars! It turned out to be ten dollars! The fat man was a little incoherent with excitement, "Fortunately, the master accepted it, otherwise we would have regretted it." ”

"Humph! You're such an eye-catcher fool. ”

"Huh? Master, ten yuan is more than half a month's salary for me and MCA. ”

"Fatty, MCA, you are about to turn positive recently, don't you know who you have to rely on?" Zhou Ming looked at his two stupid apprentices and shook his head in disappointment.

"Huh? By whom? ”

"This family surnamed Su is obviously a big family, and their favor cannot fall on the head of our cook, so it is better to give it to Deputy Director Li generously." Looking at the two apprentices who were confused, Zhou Ming patiently explained his purpose and plan, "Even if the family doesn't forcibly give red envelopes, Deputy Factory Director Li will definitely not treat our master and apprentice badly, and it will also be of great help to your next regularization." ”

"Master, do you mean that we are following Deputy Director Li closely?" Ma Hua looked at Zhou Ming with bright eyes.

"Stupid! I want to tell you that we need to be self-aware, and understand the truth that there is giving to gain. Zhou Ming suddenly realized that he shouldn't have talked about this with the two stupid apprentices, it was completely like playing the piano to the cow.

It's really not that Zhou Ming thinks too much, it's really that his identity as a master and apprentice is too embarrassing, the fat man and Ma Hua are facing the node of becoming positive, and they definitely need the approval of leaders who have the right to speak, and he is now only an eighth-level chef, which is more than one level worse than the highest first-level chef, which needs someone to help improve.

If Deputy Factory Director Li is sensible, it will be easy to understand the embarrassment of Zhou Ming's master and apprentice, and then he can easily help solve it, instead of any faction taking sides.

The faction that needs the cooks to stand in line can only be in a place like the cafeteria, so Zhou Ming is very aware of what he urgently needs, and he has been working hard for it.

……

Qin Huairu is very happy today, and finally married her sister Qin Jingru into this courtyard, and she is also a relatively wealthy third grandfather of the Yan family, thinking that it will definitely be beneficial to their family in the future.

"Huairu, it's okay now, you two sisters will finally have a care in the future." Jia Zhang's family saw that Qin Jingru married Yan Jiecheng as he wished, and couldn't help but say with joy.

"Well, Jingru has always been very sensible, and he should know about Entu."

"Yes! As long as it's stronger than the stupid pillar next door. Jia Zhang suddenly thought of Zhou Ming with resentment.

"Huh? Mom, why are you mentioning him? ”

"Humph! If I don't feel happy, I won't let you talk about it! ”

Looking at the angry mother-in-law, Qin Huairu was quite helpless, although she didn't say anything, but without Zhou Ming's help, their family's living standard plummeted.

At this time, the Yan family was also a happy scene, seeing that the eldest son had married a daughter-in-law, Yan Bugui could be regarded as having completed a task, but thinking of the relationship between the Qin family sisters, Yan Bugui couldn't help but remind Qin Jingru, the new daughter-in-law.

"Jingru, in the future, you will be a member of our Yan family, and you must put the interests of the Yan family first in the future."

"Dad, I see." Qin Jingru looked very well-behaved.

"Well, you and your sister Qin Huairu try to keep their distance and don't get too close."

"Huh? Why is that? Qin Jingru looked suspicious, after all, Qin Huairu is her sister and matchmaker, and she definitely needs to be closer.

"Jingru, you don't know your sister's mother-in-law, who is the master of eating and lazy, otherwise how would she be fat for nothing." The three mothers on the side hurriedly echoed Yan Bugui and explained to the new daughter-in-law, "In the past, the stupid pillar was to supply your sister's family with delicious food and drink every day, but as a result, the stupid pillar of others was anxious, and now I don't interact with your sister anymore." ”

"Jingru, there is an example of a stupid pillar, our old Yan family can't take this detour."

"Huh? Mom, Dad, I see. Qin Jingru nodded clearly, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Ming's "self-explosion" at the beginning, which can be regarded as believing the views of Yan Bugui's family.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang, who were full of joy, didn't expect that Yan Bugui had already predicted the expectations of Qin Huairu's family, and cut off their thoughts directly from the root, otherwise Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's would have to hit the wall angrily.

[The system has detected that the host has changed the fate of Qin Jingru, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, and the rewards are hereby issued]

"Huh?" Zhou Ming, who was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, suddenly heard the sound of the system, and it felt like heaven.

[Ten bottles of Yunnan Baiyao powder, a box of Moutai wine, 100 catties of pork, 40 catties of apples, two sets of black, gray and blue tunics, a three-piece red double happiness futon, and a Phoenix 26 women's bicycle]

"I'll go! Luxury gift package! Feeling the luxurious prizes in the storage space, Zhou Ming couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Not only can he change into new clothes now, but he also collected half of the dowry for his sister He Yushui, and he only needs to buy another sewing machine to finish.

……

Zhou Ming's prediction was not wrong, Deputy Director Li must have received some benefits, only to see him look at Zhou Ming with a spring breeze on his face, "Master He, your cooking skills are really first-class!"

Mr. Su just called me personally to thank me, which is a great honor. ”

It seems that this Su family must not be simple, otherwise Deputy Director Li would not be happy to look like this because of a thank you call.

"Director Li, that's how I cook."

"Hehe, Master He, recently our rolling mill has allocated a batch of high-quality Fuguang apples, you can go to the logistics director to take them away directly when you get off work."

"Thank you, Director Li."

"In addition, recently there is a foreign civil delegation to visit the capital, so the leaders of the capital are going to hold a cooking competition, and let foreign friends see the real Chinese cooking.

And I've already signed up for you, you must get a place in this competition, and then I can help you run the upgrade. ”

"Huh? Director Li, what is the specific time of the competition? ”

"The competition time is next Saturday, and it is divided into three competitions: meat, river fresh, and seafood." Deputy Director Li explained, "If you need anything, you can directly mention it to the logistics director, and I have asked him to cooperate with you." ”

"Good! I know. ”

The current kitchen workers are graded from one to eight, and the eighth-level kitchen workers are only equivalent to the formal treatment of ordinary workers, and the salary is also a pitiful thirty-five yuan, as for the other two yuan and a half, it can only be regarded as a subsidy.

And the first-class kitchen worker will have seventy yuan, which is not only a matter of salary, but also a reflection of his own face, so Zhou Ming still values it very much.

Since the system arranges itself in this era of scarcity of materials, it is necessary to keep up with the times as much as possible, so that they can be recognized by the "natives".
