Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

"This Liu Haizhong seems to be from your yard too, brother."

Seeing Li Polu standing at the door for a long time without going in, Li Huaide stood aside and whispered.

"Yes, but he is different in the factory than in the yard."

Having said that, Li Bolu stood up and walked towards other workshops.

Let's not talk about Liu Haizhong's character. But if there is a master like him in a workshop, the skills of other workers will not be too bad as long as they are not lazy and willing to learn skills seriously.

“Speaking of which, Liu Haizhong actually has a pretty good reputation in the factory. I’ve heard of him since I was in charge of logistics.

But I heard that he likes to show off his power."

Li Polu and Li Huaide walked towards other workshops, talking and laughing. Liu Haizhong, who had just finished explaining the workpiece to someone, raised his head and saw the backs of the two people leaving.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: I should have gone up to Director Li and tried to get close to him. If I had established a good relationship with Xin Changzheng, I might have been able to get a job. It's all the fault of these useless idiots.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong became even more dissatisfied with his stupid apprentices. They were not good at anything and could not even make a workpiece properly. They were totally unworthy of him.

He then started scolding several of his apprentices. The content of the scolding was mainly about work, such as not working hard and being lazy, not studying seriously, and being clueless when doing things.

Not only his apprentices, but even the entire workshop were used to it. If Liu Haizhong didn't scold them every day, they would feel uncomfortable and have no energy to work.

For example, during the days when Liu Haizhong went for further studies, the overall efficiency of their workshop dropped a lot.

After going around several workshops, Li Polu had a rough idea in his mind. Although, he only took a quick look and couldn't tell the technology.

But at least he can tell at a glance who is slacking off and who is working hard.

At lunch time, unable to resist Li Huaide's repeated invitations, Li Bolu stepped into the cafeteria's private room for the first time and ate the cafeteria's special meals.

In fact, the special kitchen here is just a joke. Except when the leaders of the sister factories come to visit or when there is a need for reception, it is rare for only a few leaders in the factory to waste money.

The so-called private rooms actually serve the same dishes as the workers outside, but the taste may be different because the chefs are different.

Li Bolu took the lunch box, picked up a few dishes at random, and then found a seat to sit down.

Most of the people sitting in this so-called private room are middle and senior leaders of the factory.

They also sat together in groups of three or four to chat about work.

Most of the leaders of this era were pure, unlike the crows of later generations, which were colorful and black.

The reason why middle and senior level cadres need an independent space is that some of the things they talk about are not suitable for the workers to know.

For example, the head of the purchasing department, whom Li Bolu had met once, was now chatting with a buddy whom Li Bolu did not know about the fact that the slaughterhouse would reduce their pork supply starting next month.

The purchasing chief asked whether that person had any way to get more unplanned supplies.

Do you think it is appropriate for him to let the workers know about this? If the workers knew that they would not be able to eat meat twice a month starting from next month, and would not be able to see much oily meat, they would probably quit immediately. And then it would soon be known to the whole factory.

Li Polu didn't have any psychological burden about this. He just ate and drank.

However, as soon as I put the dish into my mouth, I felt something was wrong.

As a man who is proficient in the eight major cuisines, Li Polu is naturally not only good at cooking, but he is also good at eating.

Today's dish was obviously not made by Sha Zhu, but his cooking skills are no less than Sha Zhu's.

"Director Li, where did you find this great chef?"

When Li Huaide heard what Li Polu said, he immediately laughed.

"Brother, you have given me so many surprises. I originally thought you were a craftsman and a good songwriter. I didn't expect you to be a technical person. Now I can't accept that you are a technical engineer. I didn't expect you are also a foodie."

"Well, Director Li, you are too kind. I have tried Master He's cooking before, and today's dish is completely different from Master He's. I can tell from the taste. I am not a gourmet at all."

Li Polu also quickly laughed and responded with a smile.

"Go and call Master Nan over to meet our Section Chief Li."

Li Huaide also knew that there was some conflict between Li Polu and Sha Zhu. After all, the reason why Sha Zhu was arrested last time was because he went to his house to move things.

Then, connecting the two things together, Li Huaide immediately thought that Li Polu was interested in the new chef and wanted to get to know him, and then ask him to help cook a few meals when he was free.

Then Li Huaide spoke to his secretary.

Then he turned around and said to Li Polu: "I really told you this time. I found this person when I visited the machine repair shop under our factory last time.

When I took my first bite of the dish, I felt that this chef's skills were no less than Sha Zhu's. I remembered this person right away. Wasn't it just that Sha Zhu was imprisoned for making a mistake last time? So I quickly transferred this person over."

"Oh, if you mention the devil, he will appear! Come here, brother, let me introduce you. This is Master Nan Yi, the new team leader of our second canteen. Master Nan, this is Section Chief Li Polu of our factory's technical department."

When Li Huaide mentioned the machine repair shop just now, Li Polu felt a little familiar. In addition, the man in front of him had a square face and a slightly wide chin, giving people a sense of stability.

Li Polu immediately recognized the person. Isn't this the brother in distress who is similar to Sha Zhu in the movie "Man is Iron and Rice is Steel"?

However, Nan Yi is luckier than Sha Zhu in that Liang Ladi is more than 10 times better than Qin Huairu, a vampire.

It’s a pity for Ding Qiunan, this delicate little cabbage. Cui Dake is really a bad person.

Thinking of this, Li Polu couldn't help but secretly spit on himself. He was thinking about his daughter and wife. Suddenly he thought of Cui Dake.

However, since Nan Yi has already arrived at the steel rolling mill, then Ding Qiunan shouldn’t be far away either?

Master Nan, Doctor Ding is not your ideal match. Do you want to bring Nan Yi's ideal match to the steel mill?

That would be really interesting then, hehehe.

Putting aside the pile of useless yellow waste in his mind, Li Bolu stood up, shook hands with Nan Yi, and then started talking to Nan Yi.

Of course, they still talked about Nan Yi’s job.

Then Li Huaide was surprised again. He originally thought that Li Polu wanted to meet Nan Yi in order to ask Nan Yi for a favor. But now it seems that he can do it himself.

And what he said was very logical and he seemed very powerful.

He is an absolute gourmet and a real foodie.
