Chapter 91 59 Arrives
He Yuzhu paid more attention to Liu Xin, since Liu Xin lived with Liu Lan in Fuxiang Hutong. Liu Xin wasn't surprised that He Yuzhu was coming over now.
Knowing that Uncle He slept with his mother at night, Liu Xin, who had never had a father since childhood, also regarded He Yuzhu as his father.
He Yuzhu truly acted like the head of the household here, and the family of three lived a sweet and harmonious life.
Qin Huairu never brought any sticks with her, but Xiao Dang always came to Fuxiang Hutong by herself. She always came here secretly, and she envied Liu Lan for being able to move out of the Sun family's house.
She would have to stay in the Jia family and work like a slave.
The main problem is that Jia Dongxu is still around; if the children accidentally let something slip, it could lead to a major disaster.
Jia Dongxu has become a complete gambler, and the only thing he still manages to do is go to work every month to make ends meet. Fortunately, he knows that if he doesn't work, his family will really go hungry.
As for learning new skills at work, that's impossible. He's already doing well just to get by; he's given up on improving his fitter skills anyway.
On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai is ambitious and plans to take the exam for the eighth-level worker. Now, all the eighth-level and seventh-level workers in the factory have left to support the Third Front construction.
Yi Zhonghai instinctively felt that his opportunity had come. If he became an eighth-grade worker in the steel rolling mill, his status would definitely be different from what it is now.
Although there is only one level difference between a seventh-grade worker and an eighth-grade worker, only an eighth-grade worker can be on equal footing with Director Yang.
However, Yi Zhonghai never anticipated that what he and Liu Haizhong did would offend many leaders in the factory.
They kept pressuring him, and Yi Zhonghai's skills were indeed a bit lacking. In the end, even when the grading system was completely discontinued, he never passed the eighth-grade worker exam.
However, the level seven worker certification has been reinstated.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui spent three years buying grain from the black market with their courtyard house, gaining considerable prestige.
The residents of the courtyard house were used to having the three old men hold a meeting to resolve disputes when problems arose.
He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan never participate.
Because Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were not liaison officers, they did not have the authority to convene a general meeting of the entire institute.
He Yuzhu used this point to silence Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and the others.
Without He Yuzhu and his four families, the hospital-wide meeting felt somewhat awkward and incomplete.
There are 23 companies in total. If we remove four, something still doesn't feel right.
The key issue is that Yi Zhonghai and his team have no way to deal with He Yuzhu, Li Tieniu, Zhang Xiaoquan, and Xu Damao. They lack confidence in facing all four factions, both in terms of their military and civilian capabilities.
He Yuzhu simply didn't want Yi Zhonghai and his group to regain control of the courtyard house, as they remained determined to restore the prestige of the steward.
This approach doesn't work on He Yuzhu at all; as long as he ignores the other party, they won't dare to go too far.
Jia Dongxu is completely ruined. He's not even as good as his master, Yi Zhonghai, who is focused on studying technology.
Jia Dongxu spent most of his time in casinos, and Qin Huairu's living expenses were often short every month.
Whether or not Jia Dongxu wins or loses money this month will determine whether Qin Huairu receives, and how much, living expenses.
At the most tense moment, Jia Dongxu owed someone 100 yuan.
In the end, the debtor came to Jia Dongxu's door demanding money, and it was Yi Zhonghai who stepped in to lend him the money. After that, Jia Dongxu behaved himself for a while, but then continued to do as he pleased.
Qin Huairu no longer takes the other person seriously; even if they're together for months, they might not have sex.
Qin Huairu stayed by his side tightly, mainly because she was afraid of getting sick.
Who knows what kind of woman the other party has met outside? This is not something that He Yuzhu, Liu Lan, Liu Yulan, and Qin Huairu know well at least.
After helping Liu Lan and Qin Huairu every month, He Yuzhu still had a considerable amount of money left over.
Over the past three years, the savings account had accumulated to nearly three thousand yuan, which He Yuzhu recently exchanged for small yellow croakers.
For three years, the corn produced by the space was all used to feed livestock. Wheat was planted continuously for three years, with a total harvest of 12,000 catties from three mu of land planted each year.
Recently, He Yuzhu returned to his space at night and began processing 12,000 jin of wheat into flour.
The cold storage contains approximately 8,000 kilograms of meat, including fattened pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish that have been raised for three years and then slaughtered.
Over the course of three years, I've accumulated 1,200 jin of peanut oil.
Apples and pears, on the other hand, are sold out of season every year.
In just three years, by selling these fruits out of season, it's no surprise that the prices have doubled. Apples cost 1.2 yuan per jin (500g), and large white pears cost 2.4 yuan per jin. Harvesting several thousand jin a year, He Yuzhu actually earned 18,000 yuan.
There are now over 130 large yellow croakers in the space.
This year is the most profitable time, and it can be said that the output of this space is most useful in this era.
If you miss this window of opportunity, by the late 1980s, space output really won't amount to much.
Thinking about the future, after deducting the cost of fertilizers and pesticides, I'll only earn a few thousand yuan a year.
He Yuzhu goes to Pigeon City every few days, and he has encountered inspections before.
He Yuzhu is agile enough that while the others can't escape, he certainly won't be caught. If things really come to a head, he can hide in his spatial dimension and come out when things are safe outside.
Having visited the black market many times, I've not only exchanged for a large number of small and large yellow croakers.
They also exchanged for more than a dozen precious bracelets and jewelry necklaces.
This isn't for future appreciation; it's intended to be a family heirloom for my children.
For a family with a rich heritage, wouldn't it seem lacking in heritage if they didn't have heirloom jewelry?
He Yuzhu had already planned it all out: he would give each child a set of jewelry. This way, the family would be known to all that the He family had once been wealthy.
Recently, He Yuzhu has stopped attending banquets, and Liu Lan felt sorry for him for a long time.
After all, I used to earn a dozen or so yuan extra money every month, and now that it's suddenly gone, anyone would feel bad.
But there's nothing we can do. With the shortage of supplies outside, even those who have plenty of food dare not squander it.
Instead of hosting banquets, people now prefer to enjoy good food discreetly at home. These days, no one dares to be too ostentatious; if someone has something nice, they'll keep it a secret from others.
Even He Yuzhu can only secretly eat some braised meat at home now. If the animals in the courtyard knew that he was eating meat at home every day, someone would definitely report him.
He Yuzhu himself sometimes goes to his boss's house to host a family dinner after get off work.
Since they can't have lavish meals in public, the leaders usually just cook a nice meal at home to treat their own people.
He Yuzhu is 24 years old this year, and he has been serving his superiors for several years.
So far, no one outside has ever mentioned the leaders' family banquets.
He Yuzhu kept his mouth shut, which naturally earned him the favor of many leaders.
Compared to ordinary chefs, He Yuzhu, a section-level cadre, has top-notch culinary skills, which naturally makes the leaders feel more at ease using his food.
Because He Yuzhu is also part of their circle, he naturally knows how to protect everyone's interests. This is a bigger plus than good cooking skills.
Factory Director Yang finally took He Yuzhu to the home of the high-ranking leader.
In fact, the other party was only one level higher than Li Huaide's father-in-law, and He Yuzhu had visited Li Huaide's father-in-law several times.
Li Huaide is now the deputy factory director. Thanks to He Yuzhu, Li Huaide has made many connections.
It can be said that Li Huaide's most advantageous and most important asset was He Yuzhu.
They have known each other for many years, from when Li Huaide first joined the steel rolling mill work group until now. They went from being strangers to becoming acquainted and now good friends.
He Yuzhu never failed in any task assigned by Li Huaide.
Naturally, Li Huaide also took He Yuzhu's matter to heart. From deputy section chief to the current section chief, it was all thanks to Li Huaide's efforts.
Factory Director Yang basically only enjoys He Yuzhu's meticulous service; when it comes to promotions, he automatically forgets about He Yuzhu.
This is also why, although He Yuzhu never refused Director Yang, whether he was truly dedicated or not is a matter of opinion.
At least now Li Huaide arranges for He Yuzhu to host family banquets at the leaders' homes. Sometimes, considering that the leaders' homes may not have enough ingredients, He Yuzhu will take the initiative to offer to find a way.
He Yuzhu had never done that with Director Yang. "If you ask me to cook, I'll just show up."
Even if Director Yang arranged for me to work late, He Yuzhu would try to avoid it. After all, I was already off work and had no obligation to work overtime.
Unlike Li Huaide, who would always give He Yuzhu many benefits as long as he used her.
Milk powder coupons, bicycle coupons, watch coupons, or good cigarettes, good wine, and good tea.
The emperor doesn't starve his soldiers, so Director Yang never thought about it, or rather, he felt that since he was the factory director, everyone else should serve him.
At the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide's subordinates were very loyal, and everyone under Director Yang basically handled business strictly.
This is also why, when the winds rose later, Director Yang was directly eliminated, and his subordinates quickly turned against him.
He Yuzhu was aware of this, so he adopted the attitude that as long as he didn't offend the other party too much, it would be fine.
He Yuzhu knew it was useless, even though Director Yang was later reinstated as director, it was almost the 1980s.
By then, the other party will basically be retired. If he still needs to be mindful of Director Yang at that time, then there is really no need for him to continue to struggle in his career.
He Yuzhu's culinary skills have now made further progress towards top-level culinary expertise.
The fact that others couldn't taste any difference precisely demonstrates the improvement in He Yuzhu's culinary skills.
Compared to before, when He Yuzhu needed a secret recipe to reach the level of a first-class chef, he can now create sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy dishes simply by combining ingredients.
Initially, only one ingredient could be removed, then two, three, until now, when the secret recipe is rarely used except for basic seasonings.
No one knows this secret, and He Yuzhu never tells anyone.
Even MCA, who recently joined the guesthouse's small kitchen, doesn't know why He Yuzhu's cooking is so delicious.
Good, Ma Hua, who was loyal to Sha Zhu in the story, finally appeared at the steel rolling mill.
Sixteen-year-old Ma Hua had just joined the steel rolling mill when He Yuzhu transferred him to the guesthouse's small kitchen.
Now, the small kitchen consists of Liu Lan, Ma Hua, and Zhang Shijie, who form the regular team.
