Chapter 3 Rolling Mills
Silly Zhu got up early the next morning, Silly Zhu is now an apprentice in the Emei Hotel is to work with the master's working hours, yesterday was 6 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, belongs to the morning shift, today is the evening shift from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 10 o'clock in the evening, but now there are only 2 brothers and sisters left, and he needs to get up to make breakfast. Now they all need to be prepared by stupid pillars, steamed on the nest head, cooked stick porridge, and prepared a pickle is today's breakfast, the two brothers and sisters are now not much food at home, at most half a month, the two brothers and sisters may have to eat soil, fortunately, his father He Daqing left 500,000 brothers and sisters, and the two brothers and sisters have money to buy food in the past few months, but they are also sitting on the empty mountain. Silly Zhu is cooking porridge at the same time is also thinking about how to make money, my sister is going to primary school next year, now the primary school is a 5-year tuition fee of 25,000 a semester, thinking that the porridge has been boiled, Silly Zhu went to the next door and patted the door and shouted: "Rain, get up and eat." "In the 50s, 2 meals a day in the countryside, the workshop work of the rolling mill is manual work, and three meals are needed, but generally those who do not go to work will not eat breakfast at noon, and wait until the people who get off work in the evening come back to eat the second meal, the He family used to live well, three meals a day, He Daqing and Silly Zhu are both cooks, although Silly Zhu is still an apprentice without salary, but the restaurant is in charge of the meal, and occasionally the master will let him bring back some food, and he can also add a meat, and the cook will not die of hunger in any era.
He Yushui, who was sleeping in the cubicle, heard the movement, and ran out with his messy hair. Xiao Nizi, who is only seven years old, forgets things quickly, she was sad yesterday and has no heart today, she is very beautiful and holds a big red head rope, as well as a comb with a broken wooden tooth before and after: "Brother, comb me quickly~" He Yuzhu took the comb and clumsily helped his sister comb her hair, He Yuzhu did not mention yesterday's incident, afraid that the rain would be sad. Comb your hair and urge the rain to wash. The pool in the middle courtyard is not far from the door of He's house, the silly pillar beat an egg for his sister to make a bowl of egg custard while his sister washed, and He Yushui went to the toilet after washing, there is no independent toilet in the courtyard, basically one or two courtyards share a public toilet, and you need to queue up every morning, most of the people have gone to work at this point, there are not many people queuing up in the toilet, only a few people, and soon He Yushui returned home after solving the problem, and saw the egg custard on the table and said happily: "Ah, Brother, you also made egg custard. He Yuzhu handed his sister a spoon and said, "It's specially made for you, eat it." ”
After the two brothers and sisters finished breakfast, the stupid pillar sent the rainwater to the nursery, because the He family had to go to work and no one took care of He Yushui, so He Daqing sent He Yushui to a nearby nursery school in the early days, and in this era, there are elders in the family or those who do not go to work will not send their children to the nursery, after all, it costs money.
After sending the rainwater to the place, Silly Zhu did not go back to the courtyard but walked on the street of BJ alone, and the high-rise buildings of later generations appeared in his memory, so He Yuzhu couldn't believe that BJ would change so much in the future, and it was completely different from the familiar streets now. Inadvertently walked to the river, looking at the people fishing by the river, the stupid pillar wanted to buy a fishing rod to fish, thought about it or forget it, in the memory of the two lives, he had never fished, and from the memory he got Yan Bugui is the third master behind him often fishes for a few dollars a month, when he is fine, he can try it but still can't be used as the main business, and he knows from his memory that he will start issuing various bills in 55 years, and now although the blow to small traders is not very big, but it will become a speculative reversal in a few years. And the next 30 years will not be too peaceful, and I have to go into the factory to be the safest, and then I saw the men and women on the street and thought of my marriage, the first thing that came to mind was Qin Huairu, after all, I liked Qin Huairu in my memory for decades, and then I thought of Qin Huai, this year is 51 years, and it will be 52 years soon, Qin Huairu is about to marry into the courtyard, Qin Huairu is 18, and he is about to go on a blind date with Jia Dongxu, he is only 16, Lou Xiao'e is okay, but Lou Xiao'e is only ten years old now, and he is a few years older than his sister He Yushui, Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang are all a few years old, Ran Qiuye doesn't know that she shouldn't have returned to China, and when she returns to China, she is in her 20s, it seems that there are not many women in contact with her two lives who can get married in about 55 years, but Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao's marriage must find a way to destroy it, otherwise she will wait for Lou Xiao'e to grow up and get married, and after thinking about it, she will deny her own idea, and Lou Bancheng may not look down on herself.
In the thoughts, I unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the rolling mill, and after thinking about it, it is more appropriate to go to the leader in person, Yi Zhonghai, an old thing, does not think about his pension for him now, and he will not pay too much attention to his own affairs, and may remember that he entered the factory at the age of 18 to take over Yi Zhonghai may just ask and did not make much effort, and then found the doorman and said: "Hello, comrade." "Hello, what's the matter?" The man with the gun at the gate replied. At this time, the rolling mill has been gradually taken over by the state, Lou Bancheng is also slowly withdrawing from the right center of the rolling mill, and so on 55 years later, after the public-private partnership of the rolling mill, Lou Bancheng only has the right to dividends, at this time the rolling mill is not as big as 58 years, and the memory of the whole plant adds up to about 5,000 people, after the public-private partnership has been expanded to reach 1w people, until the 60s, when the largest number of nearly 2w people, now the whole plant has more than 5,000 people and 4 canteens, Among them, his father's three canteens are responsible for the reception task and a small number of workers' meals, and each canteen has a canteen director, thinking about whether it is more appropriate for him to go to the canteen director or Lou Bancheng. So he said: "Hello, I am He Yuzhu, the son of He Daqing, my father went to Baocheng, I want to ask about my father's situation, is it okay?" ”
At this time, a man in his 30s on the other side of the door heard Silly Zhu's words and walked towards Silly Zhu, "I know his father He Daqing, let me come, you are He Daqing's son, called Silly Zhu, right, I heard your father talk about you, what is your big name?" Silly Zhu replied: "To me, it is Silly Zhu, and the big name is He Yuzhu." The middle-aged man said: "It's a bit similar to your father, you just call me Uncle Wang, and your father is a good friend, I only found out about your father's situation yesterday, the details are not clear, what do you want to know when you come to the factory, I can help you ask." Silly Zhu was very happy to see that it was his father's acquaintance, so he said, "Wang. Hello Uncle Wang, I came to the rolling mill to ask if my father had anything to explain before leaving, and the other was to ask if I could come to take over my father's class, my sister is still young, I want to ask if I can take over the shift as soon as possible to make money. Uncle Wang replied: "Your situation is a bit special, I remember that you are only 16 years old this year, right, according to the regulations of the state, normally you will take over after two years to take over, and I will take you to Director Lou later, it just so happens that Lou Dong is in the factory today, will you stir-fry?" I remember your dad saying earlier that you have only been an apprentice for more than 2 years. After hearing that he could find Director Lou, Silly Zhu happily returned: "Yes, I studied Sichuan cuisine, and I will also order my father's Tan family cuisine and Lu cuisine." "Okay, come with me, but you have to be prepared that you may be asked to go to the cafeteria and make a few dishes to test your cooking skills." "No problem, Uncle Wang, don't worry." Silly Zhu said confidently.
Silly Zhu followed Uncle Wang into the factory, which was exactly the same as the rolling mill in his memory, but it was much smaller than in his memory, but it was also very big. The two of them walked for more than ten minutes to a 3-story small white building, Uncle Wang took He Yuzhu into a room on the second floor of the small white building and knocked on the door, only to hear a middle-aged man's voice "Please come in". Uncle Wang opened the door and walked in, and then Uncle Wang said to the middle-aged man: "Lou Dong, this is He Daqing's son He Yuzhu, who came to the factory today to ask about his father's situation." The middle-aged man looked at the stupid pillar with a surprised face and said, "Master He's son, what are you looking for me to ask?" "Lou Bancheng has had some troubles in the past two days, a chef who finally dug up ran away yesterday, what to do with the reception in the future, now the chefs with skills are not willing to come to the factory, and they are worried about where to find a chef." Hello Lou Dong, I came here today mainly to ask first, did my father explain anything before leaving, and by the way, ask me if I can come over to take over, I am also a chef before learning to cook in Emei Hotel. Lou Bancheng frowned and thought for a while and replied: "I haven't seen your father before he left, I may have to ask the director of the third canteen, I don't think you are big, how old are you this year, you have been learning to cook for a few years, what will you cook?" Silly Zhu looked at Lou Bancheng's appearance and probably didn't know, so he replied: "I studied Sichuan cuisine, I used to learn to cook in Emei Restaurant, I am 16 years old this year, and I have been learning to cook for more than 2 years." "Ah, it's only been more than 2 years? You're only 16 years old, and now you have to be at least 18 years old to go to work. Lou Bancheng frowned and replied after hearing Silly Zhu's return, but what he thought in his heart was what kind of vegetables would you fry in just over 2 years, which is probably radish and cabbage, and he had already denied the idea of Silly Zhu entering the factory to take over. Uncle Wang heard Lou Bancheng's unhappy tone because of He Yuzhu's answer and hurriedly said: "Lou Dong, when I was drinking with He Daqing before, I often heard him talk about his son, who has some talent in cooking, although he has not learned to cook for a few years, he is much better than ordinary chefs. "Really?" Lou Bancheng asked with a look of disbelief, then thought about it and said, "Then in this case, you go to the cafeteria with me now to fry a Sichuan dish, let us see how your cooking skills are." Then he got up and prepared to take He Yuzhu and the two people to the canteen.
"Your father used to work in the third canteen, let's go to the third canteen to cook, and by the way, you can ask the director of the third canteen to see if your father has left anything behind." On the way, Lou Bancheng said this to the two people. It didn't take long for the three of them to come to the door of the three canteens, the stupid pillar looked at the door of the canteen exactly the same as in the memory, the memory came like a tide, yesterday unexpectedly to the memory of himself is to work in this canteen for nearly 30 years, he entered the factory at the age of 18 until Lou Xiao'e took He Xiao back to the mainland to open a restaurant, he resigned, the memory of his own 3 years of apprenticeship and then turned into a 10-level chef because of the smell of the mouth offended many people, until 63 years before the assessment became an 8-level chef, and has not been assessed since then, until a few years after the wind, because Deputy Director Li needed to help him do the hospitality, so he promoted himself to be a canteen director, but he didn't expect to get more than 50 yuan for the highest salary in his memory, and he really failed in his memory.
Lou Bancheng led the two of them to an office in the cafeteria and knocked on the door. "Please come in" A voice came from inside, and as the door was opened, Director Tang immediately stood up when he saw someone coming, and asked, "Dong Lou, why are you here?" "Master He's son is here, come to the cafeteria to fry a dish to see how his cooking skills are, and by the way, ask if his father has left anything before leaving." Lou Bancheng replied. "Master He's son." Director Tang said and looked at Silly Zhu, then thought for a while and replied, "Your father only submitted his resignation to me before leaving, and nothing else was said. Silly Zhu looked at Director Tang with a disappointed face: "Okay then." "Director Tang, you arrange, let Comrade He Yuzhu stir-fry in your canteen, see how his cooking skills are, I just heard Captain Wang say that this little comrade has good cooking skills before learning to cook in Emei Hotel." Lou Bancheng said.
