People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Chapter 139: Small Canteen

Lin Yi asked. He had tasted the food cooked by Ning Dawei's wife, and she couldn't make it taste this good.

"Yes, Zhuzi made it. This kid doesn't have any other strengths, but he is good at making meat."

Ning Dawei explained to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi couldn't help but think more about it. Could it be that Zhuzi has a talent for cooking?

Before traveling through time, Lin Yi had opened a small restaurant of his own, so he had some skills as a chef.

Otherwise, when he first came to the old city, he would not have worked as a temporary kitchen helper in the small canteen run by the street office.

The cornmeal buns he made at the beginning really impressed Director Wang from the street office.

Apart from the taste of the roe deer meat itself, just the chef's cooking skills made Lin Yi feel that even if it was not as good as the chef He Yuzhu from the steel rolling mill, the difference was almost the same.

"Where are the Dazhu people?"

Lin Yi asked.

"Let's go back. This kid is different from his brother. He's a bit introverted."

Ning Dawei said embarrassedly.

Although Lin Yi had known Ning Dazhu for a long time, they had not communicated much and did not notice this.

"Well, there's no rush. I have to come over tomorrow. Dazhu has the talent to be a chef. I'll ask him if he wants to be a chef in the steel mill."

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Ning Dawei quickly said: "What else can you think about? Being able to eat public food is a blessing that can be cultivated in several lifetimes. I agreed to it on behalf of Dazhu."

There are many people in Hulukou Brigade, but only two of them can eat at the public food supply point in the city.

Except for those who went to serve in the army, the rest were working hard on the farm in the brigade.

The only one who had a promising future was Ning Linyi. After retiring from the army, he came to the city of Beijing and became a security officer at the public security station.

Now, Lin Yi said that he could send Ning Dazhu to the steel rolling mill, and Ning Dawei was immediately interested.

On weekdays, Ning Dawei had the idea of sending some young people from the team to work in the city through Lin Yi.

I just thought it was very difficult, so I didn't mention it.

It was not difficult for Lin Yi to arrange Ning Dazhu to work in the steel rolling mill. It was difficult to get a regular job with a fixed salary, but it was no problem to get a temporary job.

Lin Yi recently had the idea of opening a small canteen in the Public Security Department. The venue is ready, and he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity to mention it to Zhang Bing and Yang Aiguo.

The people from the Public Security Department usually have to patrol the surrounding neighborhoods at night, so there were some problems with the food supply this evening.

In the cafeteria, people basically go home after the big pot meals are prepared. Many times, people who work the night shift in the public security department can only eat cold rice and cold dishes, and sometimes they have to go hungry.

When I was in the security team before, there were fewer people and I didn’t feel much about it, but now there are more people and this can’t go on.

However, opening a small canteen is still quite troublesome.

As for food and other things, at worst we can ask the canteen to allocate them according to the number of people in the Public Security Department.

But the chef part is not easy.

It is not easy to find a suitable chef. Although Lin Yi can cook, he is the section chief and cannot cook himself. If he does it once or twice, others will only say that he cares about his subordinates.

But if it happens too many times, the value will drop.

Lin Yi had thought of He Yuzhu, but he didn't want He Yuzhu to work as a chef in the Public Security Department. After all, even if the small canteen of the Public Security Department was opened, it could not compare with the big canteen of the steel rolling mill.

I just wanted He Yuzhu to introduce a chef to society. Every time I took over, He Yuzhu agreed verbally but never took any action.

After so many times, Lin Yi also understood that He Yuzhu was narrow-minded. He was generous in other aspects, but he was unwilling to show his cooking skills in front of others. He was unwilling to introduce even the chefs he knew.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not mention this to He Yuzhu recently.

For today's meal of roe deer meat, Lin Yi discovered that Ning Dazhu had the skill to cook it, so he started to think about it.

"Aren't you a cadre in the Security Department of the Steel Mill? Why are you in charge of the canteen's procurement?"

Back in the courtyard, You Xi asked Lin Yi.

"It was fate that brought us together."

Lin Yi did not hide too much from You Xi and told her everything he could.

The content was similar to what he said to Yang Aiguo, omitting the part about the portable farm.

Youxi didn't say anything, just went into the house and closed the door.

Lin Yi heard You Xi bolting the door in the house.

"This little girl."

Lin Yi said this, then started the motorcycle, preparing to return to the city overnight.

As for Youxi, Lin Yi has already told Ning Dawei that the village militia will be on duty at night and will change their usual routes to pay more attention to this courtyard.

I did tell Youxi that we would go back together in the evening, but Youxi didn’t agree.

After all, the relationship between the two was not to the point where they could be confidants, so Lin Yi did not ask any more questions.

Moreover, he believed that although Youxi was just a little girl, her skills should be quite good.

Even if you live here alone, there will be no danger.

As for three meals a day, I have also informed Ning Dawei and he will prepare breakfast and send it over.

We traveled at lightning speed all the way.

The lights on the motorcycles are not bright, and most of the roads are dirt roads with no street lights.

In this era, the air is still good, there are no people on the road, and there are no oncoming vehicles. In addition, Lin Yi is now very familiar with the road.

So, along the way, the speed was almost the limit of this three-wheeled vehicle.

If it went any faster, not only would the old engine of the tricycle not be able to handle it, but Lin Yi would also not be able to control the vehicle.

This is only possible if Lin Yi is driving. If it were someone else, at this speed, the three-wheeler might have flipped over.

It took just over an hour, and Lin Yi arrived at the bus stop where he met Youxi.

Arriving here means we are getting close to Hongxing Street.

More and more people started to gather here, so for safety reasons, Lin Yi slowed down.

Suddenly, the lights of a vehicle in front lit up, shining right on Lin Yi.

For a moment, Lin Yi couldn't adapt to the sudden deterioration of light and quickly applied the brakes.

After stopping the car, Lin Yi looked at the jeep that suddenly turned on its lights and wanted to go up and argue with it.

As a result, two people carrying long guns and one carrying a pistol got out of the car.

Lin Yi's whole body was tense, his right hand was placed behind his back, covered by his clothes, and his service pistol had been taken out from the space in his portable farm.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to pick you up."

The young soldier with a pistol on his belt spoke first.

After hearing this, Lin Yi put the pistol back into his personal space, but his body did not relax too much.

"Where's Youxi?"

The young man looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"Who are you?" Lin Yi did not answer and looked at the young man.

The young man looked at the alert Lin Yi, and then replied: "I am her brother. Where did you take her?"

Seeing that Lin Yi had not let down his guard yet.

The young man added: "My name is You Hai."

"Forget it. Let me show you my soldier's ID."

You Hai didn't want to argue with anyone, so he took out a green certificate from his pocket.

Lin Yi saw You Hai's photo and name, but You Hai blocked his eyes with his fingers as for his position.
