The next morning, He Yuzhu cooked some porridge and heated up four leftover cornbread. Then, he went to wake He Yushui up and quickly ate breakfast to go to school. He ate two cornbread in a few bites and went to work at the Red Star Rolling Mill.
He Yuzhu was now an apprentice in the second canteen of the Red Star Rolling Mill. He was basically a handyman. The dirty and tiring work was done by them.
He Yuzhu had been following the instructions of the head chef to move the potatoes and cabbages, and then he chose the vegetables. Once He Daqing left, he was kicked to the second canteen to do odd jobs. Even if he had the skills, it was not his turn to do them. He might as well find another factory to work in. Anyway, now that he had the skills, he was not afraid of not finding a job.
To be honest, who would want to work in a factory canteen these days? A chef in a factory canteen only made 40 to 50 yuan a month, while a chef in a hotel outside could make hundreds of yuan a month. Some big hotels even made 200 to 300 yuan a month.
By the time they started to set the professional skill level for workers in 2006, the highest level of a chef in the factory canteen was level six, with a monthly salary of 48.5 yuan. This was already an unbreakable ceiling. Only the chefs of hotels could possibly surpass level six.
Otherwise, why would Manager Yang side with He Yuzhu in the movie? Manager Li was still transferred back to the canteen after being beaten by He Yuzhu because it was not easy to find a chef in the factory canteen. Those who were good at cooking went to hotels. The factory canteen had no future.
Moreover, the high salary of a hotel chef could still be retained after five or six years of professional skill assessment. For example, the salary of a chef in a big hotel was 150 yuan per month. In five or six years, he would be assessed as a third-class cook and his monthly salary would be 71.5 yuan. However, because the original monthly salary was high, his monthly salary would still be calculated at 150 yuan. This was called retaining salary.
With the help of the system, He Yuzhu's Sichuan Cuisine had already reached Level 8, which was close to the top. Moreover, with the system, there was no need to worry about his cooking skills not improving in the future. If He Yuzhu applied for a job at a hotel, it was hard to say if it was two or three hundred yuan, but a monthly salary of a hundred yuan was still possible. At that time, he could also enjoy the treatment of retaining his salary.
Not to mention the issue of the establishment of workers, as long as one had an urban hukou, it was easy to get a job before 1959 or 1960. He Daqing didn't leave with a wave of his sleeves in the movie. During the " D Leap " period, many rural people who had a junior high school diploma or a skill could be immediately recruited into the factory.
Ding!" System mission issued: Host, complete your promotion as soon as possible. Reward will be given according to the time of your promotion.”
He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't know where to start with this task. He was still doing odd jobs here. It would take at least half a year to a year to become a full-time employee. He immediately asked in his mind, System, do I have to be at the Red Star Rolling Mill to become a permanent employee?”
The system did not respond. He Yuzhu asked a few more times, but the system still did not respond.
He Yuzhu cursed in his heart, but he was also a little depressed. He did not dare to take the risk. After all, the early plot of this TV series revolved around the courtyard house and the rolling mill. What if he failed the mission after leaving the rolling mill?
The Red Star Rolling Mill was a large factory with a population of nearly ten thousand. There were six canteens. The first canteen was a small canteen, and it was usually where the officials and government workers ate. The second and third canteens were mainly for the day shift workers to eat. The fourth, fifth, and sixth canteens had to provide three shifts of workers to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The kitchen had the most staff, and it was divided into two shifts.
He Yuzhu used to work in the small canteen with his father, He Daqing. After He Daqing left, he was kicked to the second canteen to do odd jobs. The newly appointed head chef would definitely not want to keep the son of his former boss in front of him. He was already giving him face by not sending him to the fourth, fifth, and sixth canteen.
He Yuzhu was in the second canteen now. He didn't even have the chance to cook, let alone show his face in front of the leaders.
Thinking about the future, He Yuzhu was still a little anxious. In a few years, it would be a few years of starvation, and then a decade of cultural waves. Without the help of the system, it would probably be very difficult to get through.
After work, He Yuzhu went to the market and bought some vegetables, peanuts, and a little rooster. It cost less than three yuan in total. He found a deserted place and took two pounds of pork from the system backpack before going back.
At this time, there were still many people doing business. There were also many farmers who went to the city to sell vegetables. On the first and fifteenth day of the month, there were still people going to the market. The public-private partnership had not even started yet.
When he got home, He Yuzhu gave his sister fifty cents and said,""Girl, go get a pound of wine and call Old Lady, Uncle Yi, and Aunt Yi. We'll treat them to a meal.”
After He Daqing ran away with the widow, his original body lived a muddled life. He Yushui also starved and ate. If it weren't for the deaf old lady and Aunt Yi, the little girl would have starved to death.
The original character of He Yuzhu could also be seen from the original drama. He took the blame for the stick, stole Yan Bugui's bicycle wheels, and tied Xu Damao to the kitchen. If any of these things were reported to the authorities, he would be sent to jail. He would scold people at the drop of a hat, hit people when he couldn't win, and even hit the deputy director for the sake of the little widow. He didn't consider the consequences at all, let alone take care of his sister.
He Yushui's eyes lit up when she saw her brother buying a bunch of vegetables. This girl hadn't seen meat for more than a month after He Daqing left. She pursed her lips and swallowed her saliva. The little girl replied,"Alright, brother." She took the money and ran out like the wind.
By the time He Yushui helped the old lady over, there were already four dishes and a soup on the table. There were shredded pork in Beijing sauce, braised pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes, peanuts, and chicken stew with mushrooms. At this time, Yi Zhonghai also happily carried a dustpan with more than ten two-flour buns and walked in with Aunt Yi.
"Oh, why are you making such a sumptuous meal today?”Yi Zhonghai teased.
Aunt Yi patted Yi Zhonghai's arm, then turned to He Yuzhu and said,""Now that it's just the two of you living, you have to spend your money sparingly. If you have any difficulties, look for your Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi.”
"Thank you, Aunt Yi. Ever since my father left, I've often been unable to care about the rain when I go to work. I've always troubled the old lady and you. I'm free today, and the salary has just been closed, so I wanted to make a good meal for the old lady and you.”He Yuzhu replied with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai handed the dustpan in his hand to He Yushui and said," I guess you guys didn't think of making the main dish. I brought some steamed buns here."”
He Yuzhu poured Yi Zhonghai a glass of wine and said happily," I really didn't prepare anything. You're really thoughtful."”As he spoke, he glanced at the steamer that had just been placed on the stove, turned around, and casually sealed the stove.
He Yuzhu sat down and picked up a piece of braised pork for the old lady. He then said to He Yushui,"Don't just eat by yourself. Serve the old lady. Old Madam, let Rainwater talk to you every morning after school. Please help me look after her.”
He Yushui chewed on a piece of meat and nodded."Yes, yes. Grandma will eat meat." He picked up another piece of braised pork and placed it in the old lady's bowl.
The Deaf Old Lady knocked on the little girl's head.""You have to call me Madam. Don't mess up the seniority.”
Putting the meat into her mouth and chewing, the Deaf Old Lady's eyes lit up."Mmm, it's delicious. Zhu Zi, your culinary skills are not inferior to your father's.”
Yi Zhonghai picked up a pair of chopsticks and chewed on the shredded meat in Beijing sauce. He said in surprise,""Mm, Zhu Zi's craftsmanship is really not bad. He can be a chef.”
"Hehe, I'm still good at Sichuan cuisine. I'll make do with the Beijing cuisine and Shandong cuisine today.”He Yuzhu replied with a smile.
"Honestly speaking, Zhu Zi, what level are you at?”Yi Zhonghai asked again.
"It should be about the same as the chefs in state-owned restaurants. It's not top-notch.”
"Oh, so your Sichuan Cuisine is considered top-notch?”Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up as he asked.
"I wouldn't dare to say that it's top-notch, but according to my master, there shouldn't be many people in the capital who are better than me in terms of Sichuan cuisine.”He Yuzhu replied proudly. He believed in the system's evaluation.
"He Daqing isn't good at Sichuan Cuisine, is he?" Yi Zhonghai asked curiously.”
He Yuzhu nodded." Yes, my father's specialty is the Tan Family's dishes. However, the ingredients used in the Tan Family's dishes are very particular. The ingredients are mostly delicacies from all over the world. However, as you know,
I know how to cook many dishes, but I've never done it before. So, my father found me a Sichuan cuisine chef. The more Sichuan cuisine I cook, the better my craftsmanship will be.”
Yi Zhonghai nodded and said," That's indeed the case with your hands. You can only improve by watching and practicing more."”
Yi Zhonghai was also inspired. He was now a master fitter and would be promoted to level eight fitter in the future. He would be at the top of the fitter industry. It was not obvious in the original movie, but in reality, a level eight fitter was equivalent to a sweeping monk. A hand fitter was comparable to a machine tool. It was a level eight fitter. It could not be grinded by a grinding machine, and it could not be sawed by a saw. Its basic skills had reached a realm that ordinary people could not imagine.
Most of the Level 8 workers these days were uncultured, and Yi Zhonghai was the same. They all relied on experience and practice. In the developed industrial areas, there were not many Level 8 workers, but there were still some. In the less developed industrial areas, such as Zhoukou area, there was not a single Level 8 worker. It was not that there were no Level 8 fitters, but there were no Level 8 workers in all industries. They lacked horizons and opportunities to learn, so they naturally could not improve. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai agreed with He Yuzhu.
After tasting the other dishes, Yi Zhonghai nodded and said,""Not bad, Zhu Zi. With your skills, you'll be able to make a name for yourself sooner or later.”
In fact, there were still many people who liked Sichuan Cuisine in the capital these days. Sichuan Cuisine at this time was not as spicy and numb as it was in the future. Most of Sichuan Cuisine was not spicy, such as the most famous boiled cabbage and Dongpo pork. Among the top ten classic dishes of the state banquet, there were two Sichuan Cuisine dishes, boiled cabbage and Kung Pao chicken. There was also Dongpo Pork, which was made from Zhejiang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, and Hubei cuisine. Most of the state banquets were made from Zhejiang cuisine.
The meal was a happy one. He Yushui stroked her bulging stomach and began to clean up. He Yuzhu sent the old lady back to rest.
