Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Chapter 261 Routines, all routines

This needs to be replaced by a rookie.

I guess I just happily followed them and ate breakfast.

But he was a seasoned veteran and he understood.

But even though he understood it, what else could he do? Everything he wanted was in the hands of Cao Wei.

Since he realized that he had visited the wrong temple, he looked into Cao Wei and Lou Xiao'e.

Then, he saw that when Lou Xiao'e came back, she brought a little girl named Cao Nian with her.

Nima!

There are already two babies and Qin Jingru at home!

The key is that they don’t quarrel at home.

But damn...

What can he do? Just follow.

Look, the two of them are at home, eating soy milk and fried dough sticks.

While eating, Cao Wei also said: "How is it, is it delicious?"

Director Jing smiled dryly and nodded.

"Hey, comrade director, what do you want to talk to me about? If it's too troublesome, I can't help you. I'm just a rough guy."

You're a fucking boor?! Then what am I? Are all these twists and turns of yours the result of a boor?!

Even though I couldn't slander him in my heart, I couldn't show it on my face.

"That's right." Director Jing rubbed his hands awkwardly, took out a cigarette from his package, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and put it on the table.

"Oh, leader, this is not allowed. How can I accept your gift?" Cao Wei quickly pushed it back.

"No, no, no, Comrade Cao, please listen to me." Director Jing stopped Cao Wei and said, "It's like this. It's about the restaurant. We have communicated with Comrade Lou many times. You don't know that the plan has been revised more than ten times. People in our bureau are a little overwhelmed. Look, I heard that you have a suitable plan. Take a look at this..."

No matter how bad the people of Cao Wei are.

This is taking other people's things. People of this era are not so thick-skinned, and the power of officials is not so strong, especially under the city of Sijiu.

Director Jing was mentally prepared for being scolded.

Cao Wei tapped his finger on the table and was silent for a while.

The longer the silence lasted, the more complicated Jing Ju's mood became.

After a while, Cao Wei said, "Hey, Comrade Director, it stands to reason that I shouldn't put forward any conditions for supporting the country's development..."

"Oh, no, Comrade Cao, if you have any conditions, just mention them, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

"So what did I say?"

"You said."

"It's like this. I have only one hobby in my life, which is cooking. I also want to know where the gap between me and the top masters is. Can you arrange for me to compete with those master chefs? Don't worry, I won't let you run in vain. Whether this thing succeeds or not, I will give you the plan directly and you can use it."

"That's it?" Director Jing was stunned. He thought Cao Wei would propose something to let him participate in it, or even let him be the boss.

Is this the result?

"Yes, that's it. This is my only small wish."

"Okay, I agree."

Director Jing left in a hurry, and of course, he didn't take the cigarette with him.

Cao Wei was looking at a cigarette on the table. Lou Xiao'e happened to walk out of the room and picked up the fried dough sticks on the table. "Well, someone came to give you something? The director?"

"Yes, leave it there and return it to him in a few days."

Lou Xiao'e thought thoughtfully: "Did you cheat someone?"

"I don't like what you said."

"Well, that's cheating people."

Lies hurt no one, the truth is the sharpest knife.

To be honest, Director Jing's status is not low, but he has no control over the chefs. But everyone has friends, and the current situation is that the whole country is making way for the economy, so it's no big deal to ask people over there for help.

The young and strong generation of this era were always in a hurry to do things. They had just received the news from Cao Wei. They found Master Yan's restaurant in no time. This place was where the leaders ate, and it was not so easy to get close to on weekdays. Fortunately, he had some connections. After entering, he told Master Yan about the matter.

Who knew that Master Yan would never agree no matter what.

"No, Master Yan, let's just have a competition, no matter who wins or who loses!" Director Jing was anxious.

"I'm not going." Master Yan said seriously, "Don't even think about my disciples. They're not going either."

"Why? You have to give a reason."

"What's going on?" A kind voice sounded from behind them.

Director Jing looked back, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stood at attention; "Leader!"

"Xiao Jing, what's the matter? Why are you here instead of working at the company so early in the morning? Are you still greedy like a little kid?" the leader asked in a friendly manner.

"Leader, I'm grown up now and I don't have that problem." Director Jing explained quickly.

The leader glanced at Master Yan, and Master Yan looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, without saying anything.

"You, you." The leader nodded at Director Jing: "Come with me while you still have time."

"Huh? Oh."

I followed the leader all the way to the place where we were going to have dinner.

Find a seat and sit down.

"Please tell me more about this matter."

"That's it..." Director Jing explained the whole process and added some personal thoughts: "As for what this person wants to do, I really can't see clearly. You said he wants to do it for personal joint venture, but no, he just wants to have a competition and give the plan. By then, Xiangjiang should not refuse. It seems that it is not a big deal. I will go and persuade Master Yan later."

"You, you are being played around by others and you don't even realize it."

"Ah? He's trying to trick me, right?"

"He didn't fool you."

"Why then?"

"You know, since ancient times, what craftsmen value most is their own skills, whether they are chefs or people engaged in other crafts. They will not easily compete with others. Once they compete, there are many things involved."

"It's just a competition."

"But you brought something with you to the competition. The case." The leader pointed out the problem directly: "In your eyes, no matter which side wins this competition, you can get the case and both sides will reach a cooperation. Everyone is happy. But for Master Yan, if he wins the competition, he can open a restaurant and be the head of the business. If he loses, he can still open a restaurant and be the head of the business."

"Isn't this good? Master Yan has an apprentice who is a great cook. We have more people here..."

"This is the crux of the matter. If we win, then there's nothing to say. But what if we lose?"

"It's still a loss..." At this point, Director Jing suddenly realized, paused for a moment, and said through gritted teeth: "I fucking knew that guy was not a good person!!!"
