Red Star Rolling Mill, the first canteen.

Reception room on the second floor.

The leaders of several rolling mills were entertaining guests, and the table was full of sumptuous wine and food.

At present, it has not yet reached a difficult time, and the commune is still a big fish and meat, let alone a heavy industry enterprise as large as a rolling mill.

"Well, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and Deputy Director Nie, your canteen cooks are really good. I haven't eaten such authentic Tan family cuisine for many years. This steamed chicken is really authentic! Oh, my lover has the best taste of this dish, but the Tan family cuisine is not easy to find, I didn't expect you to have one here. Director Yang, can you invite the cook out, I want to ask for advice. ”

Zhao Lianze, director of the tenth metallurgical project of the Ministry of Metallurgy, was very satisfied, it seems that this is also an old glutton, and he loves delicious food very much, otherwise he would not have made such a request.

Yang Wanli, the director of the rolling mill, smiled and said to the deputy director Li Huaide: "Deputy Director Li is in charge of logistics and canteens, Deputy Director Li, call the chef to let Director Zhao meet?" ”

Li Huaide hurriedly smiled: "It's easy to say." Then he said to Wang Zhaoguo, the logistics director: "Go to the canteen and call He Yuzhu." ”

After speaking, he explained to Director Zhao: "This Comrade He Yuzhu is a family heirloom Tan family cuisine, and he is proficient in Sichuan cuisine. ”

Zhao Lianze was surprised: "Since the craftsmanship is so good, how can you be an eighth-level chef?" Is it a problem of origin, and the ingredients are not good? ”

The titles of chefs and workers are different, the eighth level of workers is the highest, but the chef is the opposite, the first level is the highest, and the eighth level is the little minion.

Li Huaide waited for this sentence, and he smiled: "That's not it, He Yuzhu's family has hired farmers for three generations, and the ingredients are fine." It's just that this person is too pivotal and unreasonable. When he was young, his father called him Silly Zhu, and people who knew him almost forgot that his big name was He Yuzhu, and they all called him Silly Zhu. This person can't speak, if he says the wrong thing for a while, Director Zhao, don't be angry, our factory will punish him. ”

Zhao Lianze waved his hand and said: "No, no, since you know that this comrade can't speak, why are you angry?" Besides, this kind of skilled worker, craftsmanship comes first. As long as the ingredients are okay and the thoughts are okay, then the mouth will stink a little. I don't know about other departments, but there are fewer stinky and grumpy senior engineers under our metallurgical department? As long as you are willing to serve the people, the rest, bear with it! ”

Everyone laughed, and Yang Wanli said with a smile: "Director Zhao's words are too right, we are all good gentlemen in the face of the eighth-level working hours in the factory, and when people lose their temper, they have to be coaxed." ”

After a while, Silly Zhu was invited.

He still looks like he is not stingy, even if he behaves quietly, but his eyes are glancing around, obviously he doesn't take these officials too seriously.

Seeing him like this, Li Huaide frowned and shouted: "Silly Zhu, today is the leader from the ministry, you should be respectful." ”

Silly Zhu snorted and said, "I don't understand what you say, how can I respect it, knock one?" Then I won't, or will you teach me? ”

Zhao Lianze stopped Li Huaide and said with a smile: "It's okay, Comrade He Yuzhu, I called you up to express your gratitude, your craftsmanship is not ordinary, especially this grass ru steamed chicken, which is quite level." Can you tell me how this dish is made? ”

When Silly Zhu heard that there was someone who knew the goods, he said happily: "Yo, this leader, you still know the goods." Usually they will order a chicken stew with mushrooms and eat that fragrant, vulgar! This grass steamed chicken is the top grade of Tan's cuisine. If you want to say how to do it, it's not that you can't say it.

Put the grass in a bowl and add warm water to cover it tightly with a plate, take it out after the grass is soaked, leave the original soup in the bowl to clarify and set aside, wash the grass in warm water to remove the sediment, remove the root, tear off the skin, and then rinse it with water. Cut the baby hen into pieces and add the herb, the clarified herb soup is mixed with salt, soy sauce, sugar, cooked chicken fat, wet starch, green onion segments, and ginger slices, mix well, steam the upper drawer with a strong fire for 20 minutes, take it out, pick off the green onion segments, ginger slices, and put it on a plate.

However, it sounds simple, but when it comes to doing it, the heat, the amount and so on, all consider the craftsmanship.

So even if I teach you, you guess you'll ......."

He shook his head, obviously not thinking that Zhao Lianze could be smart enough to do this.

The corners of Li Huaide's eyes jumped, and he warned: "Silly pillar, don't get carried away." What kind of person is Director Zhao, can you learn, but Director Zhao can't learn? ”

Silly Zhu said more seriously: "Enough! Anyway, I learned it after listening to it once, and I've seen one person, and the others are all out of the seat! ”

Zhao Lianze smiled and said, "Is there really something you can learn by listening to it once?" ”

Silly Zhu was a little depressed and said: "There really is, just our courtyard is also from the rolling mill, and he works as a doctor in the workers' hospital." Hey, that kid is the smartest kid I've ever met. No matter what the dish is, you can remember it once you teach it, and you can get better and better. Even if you cook well, your medical skills are still good, this person is really a first-class talent! ”

Listening to what he said, but all the people present here are old rivers and lakes who have read countless people and experienced many things, only when he was saying stupid words, Yang Wanli smiled "Yo" and said, "There is still such a genius in our factory?" ”

Silly Zhu smiled, looking at Nie Yuanchao, the deputy director of the factory who had been smiling and silent, and said incomprehensibly: "Deputy Director Nie must have heard of it." ”

Nie Yuanchao's face remained unchanged, and he smiled: "Oh? How do you say that? ”

Silly Zhule said: "Deputy Director Nie, don't you know? You go home and ask your daughter. My brother Li Yuan is very famous among the unmarried female comrades in our rolling mill, how many people deliberately went to the Chinese medicine department to see him, but they were all driven away by your daughter! It's ...... in the cafeteria today."

"Silly pillar!"

Logistics Director Wang Zhaoguo's face turned black and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Comrade Nie Yu is to let irrelevant people not disturb the normal order of the Chinese medicine department, why are there so many messy things? ”

Silly Zhu has always looked down on this logistics director, squinted his eyes and sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? If you don't believe me, go out and inquire to see if it's me talking nonsense, or if someone is talking nonsense with their eyes open. ”

"Okay, silly pillar, there's nothing for you to do here, you can get out."

Li Huaide had a big head and rushed to the people, if it weren't for this kid's really good cooking skills, he would have found a way to put this grandson in the workshop.

A mouth is just a blind comparison all day long.

Nie Yuanchao is low-key, usually inconspicuous, but Li Huaide learned from his father-in-law in a high position that Nie Yuanchao has a hard foundation behind him.

It's just that people are used to not fighting or grabbing, and keeping a low profile.

really brought disaster to the reputation of other people's daughters, no matter how good your temper is, you have to be mad.

Zhao Lianze was also a little curious, he obviously knew some roots, and asked Nie Yuanchao: "Old Nie, why didn't your girl go to 301?" ”

Nie Yuanchao shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more, but said: "She is determined to be a glorious working class, and it's good here." ”

After Zhao Lianze smiled deeply, he no longer mentioned the matter, and only said to Yang Wanli: "It seems that the strength of the rolling mill is really not to be underestimated, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" Director Yang's work is well done......"

Another round of cup pushing and changing lamps began, but I didn't know what impact it would have on Li Yuan.

……

On the east side of Jingshan Mountain, Sanyanjing Hutong.

"Daddy's back?"

In the carpeted living room, Nie Yu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, heard the movement at the door, looked up, and shouted happily.

Courtyard houses and miscellaneous courtyards are different, large miscellaneous courtyards are miscellaneous courtyards, and courtyard courtyards are courtyard courtyards.

And in the courtyard, there are also high and low.

For example, the second-entry courtyard of the Nie family, although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, there is actually something else inside.

The biggest difference is that this courtyard house is connected to the upper and lower water, and there is a bathroom in the bedroom.

This alone is beyond the reach of ordinary courtyard houses.

Nie Yuanchao looked at his little daughter and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, why are you staying here?" Is there something to wait for Dad? ”

In the past, I couldn't see such a well-behaved daughter waiting for him to come home.

Nie Yu smiled like a flower, she was wearing a white cashmere sweater, and she stepped forward with a little flattery: "It's okay, I miss my father, can't I?" ”

Nie Yuanchao smiled, he has a total of four children, Nie Yu is the youngest and the only daughter, so he naturally dotes on him a lot.

The other three big ones are all on the troops.

After Nie Yuanchao sat down on the sofa, Nie Yu walked to the back with a grin, pinched his father's shoulders, and said, "Dad, there is a reception in the factory today?" Why don't you come back to eat, your mother made soup, and you didn't come back to eat, she was angry. ”

Nie Yuanchao asked, "What about your mother?" ”

Nie Yu said with a smile: "In the small study, she is the editor-in-chief of the Children's Publishing House, and she has a lot of tasks. ”

Nie Yuanchao said: "Then can you trouble Comrade Nie Yu to invite Comrade Li Cuiyun and let's have a family meeting?" ”

Nie Yu felt faintly weak in his heart and asked, "Dad, why do you suddenly want to have a family meeting?" Did you hear any rumors......"

Nie Yuanchao smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just to discuss some small things." Why, are you hiding something from me? ”

Nie Yu hurriedly said: "No, no...... Okay, I'll go and ask Comrade Li Cuiyun now. ”

With that, he tiptoed out the door.

Looking at his daughter's back, Nie Yuanchao shook his head slightly, with a faint look of helplessness in his eyes.

After a while, I saw Nie Yu and a middle-aged woman with outstanding temperament and fashionable clothes entering the door, this person was Nie Yuanchao's wife, Nie Yu's mother, Li Cuiyun, the editor-in-chief of China Juvenile and Children's Publishing House.

"Lao Nie is back? Haven't had enough meetings at the rolling mill and go home to keep going? ”

Li Cuiyun said jokingly and poured Nie Yuanchao a cup of tea.

In fact, in terms of level, she is not lower than Nie Yuanchao, and even has a greater influence.

After all, the Juvenile and Children's Publishing House is a national publishing unit.

The rolling mill, which was originally just a product of public-private partnership, is far from the status of Shougang even if it has expanded a lot.

Nie Yuanchao smiled and said: "The meeting of the rolling mill is a business matter, and the meeting of the family is a family matter, and it cannot be mixed up." ”

Li Cuiyun seemed to appreciate her husband's steadiness, sat down with a smile and said, "Okay, then let's talk about family matters." What's wrong with light rain? ”

Nie Yu said in a humble heart: "What is my problem?" Comrade Li Cuiyun made the mistake of idealism! ”

Li Cuiyun glanced at her and looked at Nie Yuanchao.

Nie Yuanchao didn't care about his daughter's pleading gaze, but still decided to tell his wife: "I got the news today that your daughter made a big fuss in the workers' hospital in order to compete for her sweetheart, preventing other female workers from approaching, and hiding people behind like protecting food. Today, in front of Lao Zhao of the Ministry of Metallurgy, people are still joking about this. ”

The smile on Li Cuiyun's face disappeared instantly, glared at his daughter, and said solemnly: "When is the object of the conversation?" Comrade Nie Yu, are you secretly making small moves? ”

Nie Yuanchao was speechless and said, "She's still sneaky? ”

Nie Yu nodded again and again: "Yes, I didn't sneak around at all. ”

Li Cuiyun glanced at her, looked at Nie Yuanchao and said, "Be serious!" She's looking for a doctor, right? Chinese medicine? The workers' hospital in your rolling mill is very ordinary, can you practice good medical skills? ”

Nie Yu hurriedly said: "Mom, Li Yuan's medical skills are very good, and he will be famous today!" ”

Nie Yuanchao rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The problem is not here......"

Seeing her husband like this, Li Cuiyun was curious: "What is the problem?" This one...... Li Yuan? He has a bad character? Or is the ingredient bad? ”

She didn't ask about her appearance, because she believed that her daughter would definitely find a good look.

Nie Yuanchao smiled bitterly: "No, the problem is, people don't like our girl, so they avoid it like a tiger!" ”

"Huh?!"

Li Cuiyun looked at her daughter incredulously, and said puzzledly: "It's not ugly like that......"

may be because he works in a children's publishing house, so his childlike heart is still missing, and he lacks a lot of seriousness that should be in this era.

Nie Yuqi's pretty face flushed, and he stomped his feet and said, "Mom, what are you talking about." ”

Li Cuiyun said: "Can your father still tell lies?" Let's talk about it, that one named Li Yuan, why can't he look down on you? ”

Nie Yu listened to his mother's words, and for some reason, he suddenly became aggrieved for a while, tears fell down, and said: "He said, he said that we are not in the same world, not all the way." You can be a friend, but you can't be a ......"

Seeing his daughter so sad, Nie Yuanchao said distressedly: "How can such a sensitive and inferior man be worthy of my daughter?" ”

Nie Yu shook his head while crying: "He is not sensitive to inferiority, anyone can joke with him, and he is never angry." Sometimes there are no food stamps at the end of the month, and I will ask people to borrow them, borrow them generously, and repay them generously, and never take advantage of others. We didn't let him pay it back, but he smiled and said, the gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor. You'd like us to cook for him......"

After Li Cuiyun and her husband glanced at each other, they were surprised: "Since he doesn't care about the difference between rich and poor, and he is generous, why did he refuse you for family reasons?" Don't say one thing and do another, deliberately ...... like this"

Nie Yu was sad, shook his head and said: "Today he told me that there are many rights and wrongs in Gaomen, and he just wants to live an ordinary life and learn medical skills in a down-to-earth manner." I hope I don't bother him, or my friends won't be able to do it. Mom, I wish he could say one thing and do another......"

Looking at their crying daughter, Nie Yuanchao and Li Cuiyun were distressed, but everyone talked about it, what else could they do?

Rushing to post upside down, that doesn't live like a joke, and it has no dignity.

Li Cuiyun stepped forward to hold her daughter in her arms and comforted: "Every time a girl likes it, it is very precious, especially when the love is first opened. But only when you like each other with people who are in love with each other will you get true happiness. As the old saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, and it is not unreasonable. ”

This is what the vast majority of ordinary people in this era can't say, and only people like them can get in touch with books, movies, and music in the outside world, and cultivate ideas that are ahead of the current era.

Nie Yu didn't want to believe it, and said with tears in his eyes: "I think Li Yuan doesn't dislike me, but he dislikes my family background......

Comrade Li Yuan, who was far away at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, suddenly received a total of two hundred and five negative emotions from Nie Yuanchao and Li Cuiyun at this moment.

Li Cuiyun is a cultural person in the end, and she did not categorically deny or suppress it strongly, she smiled: "Since you have this confidence, why not go with the flow and let time witness it?" True liking will not fade with time, but will be like wine, more mellow and sweet. Don't force it for a while, or it might backfire. ”

After appeasing Nie Yu and returning to his room to rest, Li Cuiyun asked Nie Yuanchao, "Do you want me to meet this guy?" ”

Nie Yuanchao shook his head and said, "It's better to do as you say, just let it be." But it's convenient for me to see if this person is really ambitious, a gentleman who really despises the minister, or a person who sells his reputation and reputation! ”

But in any case, although neither of them said it, there was a consensus in their hearts.

It is impossible for their daughter to marry an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor in a small workers' hospital......

It's not that I look down on it, but objectively speaking, it's really difficult to go on with family backgrounds at different levels, and it will only make life a mess.

They are reluctant.
