Chapter 66 Uncle Chen Takes Action
Chapter 66 Uncle Chen Takes Action (First Update)
"What about the Second Master..."
The more Chen Jun listened, the more shocked he was. He had not expected the relationships in the courtyard to be so complicated. Everyone had their own little thoughts. He watched Wang Dong continue to ask, so as to avoid being deceived in the courtyard again in the future.
"The second uncle is a power-obsessed person..." Wang Dong replied.
"I just want to be an official!"
"Since I didn't become a leader in the steel mill, I can only put my hopes in the yard..."
"The street office appointed him as the second master of the courtyard, which just fulfilled his dream of becoming an official."
"I never thought that Siheyuan would gradually become a place where Yi Zhonghai had the final say..."
"Then his title of Second Uncle is just an empty title."
"How can he realize his dream of becoming an official?"
"If he really secures his position as the second uncle, Liu Haizhong would like to see the courtyard divided into three parts even more than Yan Fugui, so that he can manage the backyard alone!"
Chen Dehui suddenly interrupted: "Dongzi..."
"You only mentioned the third uncle and the second uncle..."
"I didn't mention the ordinary residents in the courtyard."
"Yi Zhonghai organizes donations to the Jia family in the middle courtyard every two months..."
"Because most of the residents in the courtyard are from the steel mill, and Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill, he can have a say in the fitter grading exam!"
"Even if the residents in the courtyard are dissatisfied, they can only hold it in and dare not speak out!"
"If the courtyard is divided into three, and the front, middle and back courtyards are managed separately, even if Yi Zhonghai organizes the residents in the courtyard to donate to the Jia family, he can only organize the residents in the middle courtyard!"
"The residents of the front and back yards no longer need to donate to the Jia family, nor do they need to attend the whole yard meetings organized by Yi Zhonghai from time to time!"
"So the residents in the courtyard are more willing to see the front, middle and back courtyards managed separately than Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong!"
"As long as Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong can organize these residents!"
"It's no use for Yi Zhonghai to object!"
"The three uncles were elected by the residents of the courtyard, and even the street has to respect everyone's opinions."
"If the residents in the courtyard unite and want to manage the courtyard separately, it will be useless for Yi Zhonghai to go to the street office."
"Since you, Dongzi, have proposed this idea to Yan Fugui, I will go talk to him when I have time in the next two days and give him some advice..."
"Yi Zhonghai has caused trouble for Dongzi several times..."
"If I don't fight back and give him something to do, he will really think that Chen Dehui and Dongzi are easy to bully..."
Uncle Chen is a military man and he doesn't act rashly.
But if I take action, I will be sure of winning.
Although he didn't say anything, he had already begun to mourn for Yi Zhonghai in his heart.
…………
A birthday banquet at the home of Director Wang of the Meat Processing Plant made Wang Dong famous.
Many factory managers in the city know that a new chef who is particularly good at Hunan cuisine has come to the steel rolling mill.
Many of these factory managers are from southern Hunan. Like Manager Wang of the Meat Processing Plant, they have not eaten authentic hometown food for a long time since they left their hometown.
Hearing that the steel mill had a chef who was good at Hunan cuisine, these people visited the steel mill for various reasons as if they had discussed it beforehand, wanting to try the special food cooked by the steel mill.
The downside of this incident is that the factory’s small kitchen has not stopped since noon.
With two meals a day, Wang Dong was so busy that he didn’t even have time to rest.
Director Li benefited the most from this matter.
Many factory leaders who had never met Wang Dong before established contact with him because they wanted to eat the Hunan cuisine made by Wang Dong.
This has invisibly expanded Director Li's network of contacts.
The digger does not forget to dig the well.
Director Li knew very well that all this was caused by Wang Dong, and he saw how hard Wang Dong had worked over the past few days.
While gaining a lot of connections, I was also thinking about what kind of reward to give.
"Director... I called squad leader Wang..." Director Zhou of the cafeteria walked carefully to Director Li to report. "Hurry up and let him in..." Director Li stood up from his seat while speaking.
Wang Dong came to greet him as soon as he entered the room, pulled him to sit on the long bench in the office, and said with gratitude: "Squad Leader Wang..."
"Thank you for your hard work these days!"
"Two small meals a day, working non-stop..."
As soon as Director Li opened his mouth, Wang Dong knew that he was going to give him a reward, so he quickly replied, "Director!"
"I am the person in charge of the small kitchen at the steel mill. I receive a subsidy of five yuan a month. These are the tasks I should do. It's not tiring!"
Director Li knew that this was Wang Dong's modest answer, but he was still very satisfied with his modesty: "Well said!"
"If everyone in the steel mill can complete their tasks as strictly as you do, we factory leaders will definitely have a much easier time!"
"But I've seen how hard you've worked during this period!"
"Because of your excellent cooking skills, the steel mill has established connections with many factories in the city, which will bring huge benefits to the future development of the steel mill!"
"These are all your fault!"
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments for my subordinates. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded!"
"I was just thinking about how to reward you!"
"Considering that you don't want bicycle tickets or radio tickets... you are only interested in ordinary food and meat tickets."
"I have decided to give you one pound of meat coupons and one pound of grain coupons every day during this period..."
After saying that, he stuffed six kilograms of meat coupons and six kilograms of grain coupons into Wang Dong's hands, and took out two kilograms of oil coupons and two kilograms of non-staple food coupons.
"This is a personal reward for you!"
"I'll take a break tomorrow. At noon, I want to invite you to cook a meal at a friend's house. There will be five tables in total. The reward is ten yuan..."
"He's from the Grain Bureau. He can help you exchange ten yuan for grain coupons of equivalent value..."
"I don't know if you have time!"
There was no reason for Wang Dong not to eat the fat meat that was right in front of him.
Hard times are coming soon, and the food supply distributed to each person in the city will gradually decrease.
If you want to avoid going hungry, you have to either go to the pigeon market to buy expensive food, or use food coupons to buy food from the supply and marketing cooperative. There is no other way.
Therefore, the food coupons that Director Li promised will be priceless treasures in the next two to three years, especially the national food coupons with no expiration date, which are more useful than money in many places.
He nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Director..."
"I will make time to do what you ask me to do, even if I don't have time!"
"Give me the address, and I'll make sure to cook on time tomorrow at noon!"
…………
After the banquet at noon, Wang Dong hurried home.
In addition to national food coupons worth ten yuan, the reward also included a very fresh whole chicken.
The first batch of bacon is about to be smoked, and Wang Dong decided to stew this whole chicken tonight to celebrate.
Just yesterday, the kitchen and toilet that Wang Dong wanted had been built in the courtyard, and the tap water had also been moved in. Only the ear room had not yet been renovated.
The reason why it was so fast was because a lot of wooden boards were used in the toilet and kitchen.
The temperature is too low, so it is not suitable to use turning heads and cement. We can only make do with wooden boards for the time being.
Wait until summer to build the wall with bricks and cement.
For Wang Dong: This is definitely a moment worth celebrating.
With a small kitchen in the backyard, Uncle Chen can hide inside and use a gasoline barrel to smoke bacon without being discovered by the residents in the yard.
If someone asks why there is smoke in the kitchen all day long, the answer is "a hot house."
