Chapter 669 Ingredients
He Daqing didn't know that because of Xu Fugui's few words, Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo's wishful thinking had completely failed. In fact, even if Xu Fugui came together, He Daqing would not take these three cobblers seriously. Now that his horizons have broadened, his mind is no longer just paying attention to the tiny place of No. 95 Siheyuan. You know, Secretary Lin has already talked to him. Due to the special nature of the training base of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, all security guards and staff have been strictly examined with the cooperation of relevant department personnel.
How could some self-righteous guys hide in front of the national power? After this review, two guys with identity problems were found among the logistics personnel of the base. These two people were introduced by a section chief of the personnel department of the steel rolling mill last year and bought the successor quota from two retired old workers. It was this section chief who helped arrange these two people to work in the logistics canteen. When the canteen was set up at the training base, these two people entered the canteen of the training base as kitchen helpers.
Immediately, the two guys, along with the head of the personnel department of the steel rolling mill who assigned them the job, were taken away by the relevant departments. As a result, two vacancies for kitchen helpers appeared in the canteen of the training base.
When He Daqing asked Lin Yu for instructions, Lin Yu had just given a batch of job positions to Qin Ming and others. He had originally thought of asking He Daqing if he had any relatives or friends who needed care. Now that there were two job positions in the cafeteria, he simply let He Daqing handle the relationship himself. However, he still reminded him that if he wanted to work in the Security Department training base in the future, the first requirement was to undergo political review.
He Daqing learned from Secretary Lin that all those who remained in the Security Department's training base had undergone strict screening. Upon hearing this news, he finally put his mind at ease.
You have to know that Yi Zhonghai mentioned the issue of class background to He Daqing several times, intentionally or unintentionally. At first, He Daqing didn't take it seriously. But until a guy who concealed his identity as a landlord was found in the courtyard at No. 34 Nanluoguxiang, and the street office escorted this guy to parade through the streets for public display, He Daqing became a little nervous and undecided.
Thinking about how Yi Zhonghai had mentioned his background several times before him, He Daqing became more and more worried.
You should know that He Daqing's family cooking skill is "Tan Family Cuisine", and as we all know, this "Tan Family Cuisine" is also known as "Bangyan Cuisine", which is a famous official cuisine. Ordinary people are not qualified to have access to such high-end dishes.
He Daqing was also stuck in a dead end. He thought that since his grandfather was able to learn "Tan Family Cuisine" and taught it to his father as a family cooking skill, and he was now proficient in cooking "Tan Family Cuisine", how could his family be hired farmers? Moreover, he once made buns at home and sold them outside.
What made He Daqing even more nervous was that when the Japanese invaders occupied Beijing, he was asked by them to cook "Tan's cuisine" for a period of time. He was most worried that he would be arrested and shot as a traitor.
After the relevant departments conducted a strict review of all personnel at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Security Department Training Base, He Daqing's detailed situation was also investigated clearly.
The investigation results given by relevant departments are that He Daqing's grandfather was a servant of the Tan family, that is, the descendant of a slave bought by the Tan family. Because he was very talented in cooking and had the status of a servant of the Tan family, he was arranged by the Tan family to learn how to cook "Tan Family Dishes" from the master chef. In fact, the chefs of the Tan family who cooked "Tan Family Dishes" at that time were basically servants of the Tan family.
Therefore, the relevant departments believed that there was no problem in identifying He Daqing as a hired farmer. As for making and selling buns by himself, he was not even a small business owner. After all, he did not formally open a store or hire anyone to run it. He was just trying to make a living.
Similarly, regarding the fact that He Daqing had worked for the Sakura devils for a period of time on "Tan's Cuisine", after investigation it was found that He Daqing did not take the initiative to work for the Sakura devils at that time, but was forced to work.
Under the circumstances at that time, quite a number of ordinary people were forced to work for the Japanese devils. If they disobeyed the orders of the Japanese devils, they would be in danger of their lives. Therefore, this situation cannot be regarded as treason at all. Besides, there were many chefs like He Daqing who were forced to cook for the Japanese devils' officers. Almost all the famous chefs in the city at that time could not escape. If one was identified as a traitor simply because he had cooked for the Japanese devils' officers, that would be really too much.
The traitors that the government is cracking down on now refer to those national scums who helped the Japanese devils oppress the people and acted as accomplices to the evil. Many of these traitors have evaded several attacks and hidden among the masses under a different name. Of course, these guys must be resolutely attacked and suppressed. The landlord hidden in the courtyard of No. 34 Nanluoguxiang, whom He Daqing knew before, had been a big landlord in his early years and had served as a pseudo-chief in the village. He assisted the Japanese devils in committing many evils and had betrayed revolutionary soldiers. His hands were stained with the blood of innocent people and revolutionary soldiers. After the Japanese devils surrendered, this guy found that there was no way to escape, so he took his family's belongings and slipped into the city, changed his name, hid his identity, bought two rooms in the courtyard of No. 34 Nanluoguxiang, and lived there, hiding until after liberation.
In order to cover up his tracks, this guy actually found a way to get a temporary job as a scrap collector at the scrap purchasing station of the supply and marketing cooperative, and he did this for five or six years.
If the neighbors had not noticed that this guy often bought meat and chickens to secretly improve his life, and his daily expenses were obviously inconsistent with his actual income, he would have been reported to the Jiaodaokou Street Office by the manager as an enemy spy.
You should know that the original purpose of establishing the position of steward was to assist the Military Control Commission in publicizing superior policies, mediating neighborhood disputes, and preventing and attacking enemy spies. To be more precise, he should be a liaison officer, but generally each courtyard and slum nominates those respected elders to take the position, hence the name steward.
It was also bad luck for the landlord that the manager of Courtyard No. 34 was an old revolutionary who had retired from the army due to injury. He discovered the abnormality of this guy only after hearing the private discussions of the old ladies in the courtyard.
