Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Chapter 223: Cao Wei Again

Factories in this era are not open to just anyone.

The security office at the factory gate is equipped with real guns and ammunition.

You can fire it directly after taking it out.

Arrived at the factory gate.

"Hey, stop, what are you doing?"

"Uncle, I'll go in and find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who? Go away, don't stay here."

"No, uncle, I really want to go in and look for someone."

The guard glanced at Bang Geng. He was a big guy, but he didn't even bother to offer a cigarette. He waved his hand impatiently, "There are so many people looking for people these days. The leaders are getting fed up. Don't bother here. You can't get in. Forget about looking for someone. Even if your parents work there, you won't be allowed in."

This group of people returned to the city.

There are too many, and there are only so many jobs.

These people have one thing in common, which is that during that period of time, schools basically did not teach much knowledge.

Although they are called educated youth, in fact the level of most of them is worrying.

This results in everyone being the same, and when everyone is the same, there is no distinction, no competitiveness, and it is difficult to allocate. The final result is that whoever has the strongest connections will get the job.

As for queuing, you can only wait slowly.

As a result, one can imagine how many people are eyeing the factory.

The factory gate these days is full of people, some say they are looking for someone, some say they are looking for relatives, and some are just looking for a job or trying their luck. One or two is fine, but if there are too many, the factory leader will be annoyed, because he doesn't have so many jobs. If the leader is annoyed, the security department will suffer. So, no one is allowed in.

Banggeng squatted on the side of the road, somewhat puzzled, wondering if he could meet an acquaintance who could take him in.

As soon as I squatted down, someone came over and said, "Hey, buddy."

"What's wrong?"

"Want to go in?"

"Hmm? Do you have an idea?"

The man, wearing a hat, said mysteriously, "You are late. If you had come a few days earlier, you could have just handed a pack of cigarettes to the guard. It's not possible now. If you want to go in, give me two dollars and I'll take you in."

Bang Geng hasn't spoken yet.

Then I heard a voice that sounded familiar.

"Bang terrier brother."

Turn around and look.

It’s He Xiao.

"Erzhu, you're here." Banggeng didn't bother to chat with the man and immediately went over.

"Well, something delayed me. You want to go find Aunt Qin? I'll take you there, okay?"

"Okay, thank you so much."

"Hey, there really is a trick. What a loss." The salesman muttered, but didn't care and continued to look for the next person.

He Xiao led Bang Geng to the factory gate.

Said hello.

"Uncle Wang, he, Banggeng, is my master's nephew and Aunt Qin's son. Can I take him in for a walk?" He Xiao said as he handed over a cigarette.

At this time, the man called "Uncle Wang" could no longer hold back and put on a smile: "Master Cao's nephew? If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have thought you were a kid looking for a job. OK, I remember. Next time you come, if I'm not here, just introduce yourself as Master Cao. Team Leader Qin is also fine."

"Hey, you just got back. Okay, I won't say any more to you, Brother Banggeng, let's go."

"go Go."

Bang Geng followed behind He Xiao, a little dazed, and asked, "Is Uncle Cao so popular in the factory?"

"That's for sure. Our factory has seven canteens (later expanded to two more), and only Canteen 3 is considered a big canteen. Canteen 5, where my dad works, is considered second-rate. Workers don't really want to go to the rest. Even if they do go, they go to Canteen 6 and Canteen 7. There, Uncle Cao's apprentices are the chefs, and the dishes they cook taste great."

"Uncle Cao basically has the final say in our factory cafeteria. I am also working under Uncle Cao now."

"Why don't you follow your dad?" Banggeng asked curiously.

"Hey, Brother Banggeng, you don't know, we chefs are like this. Usually, fathers won't teach their sons cooking. At best, they will teach them the basics. For the rest, they will formally become apprentices, but they will all look for fellow apprentices."

"I see." Bang Geng nodded: "Hey, what about Xiao Zhu?"

Xiao Zhu, the second son of Sha Zhu's family, whose full name is He Chen.

"Xiao Zhu doesn't want to be a cook, so he works in the street office."

"Are you also going to the street office?"

"Yes, it was Uncle Cao who came up with the idea."

"Uncle Cao again?" I was so confused. Why did the entire courtyard seem to be inseparable from Cao Wei?

"No, at first, Xiao Zhu said he didn't want to learn cooking, which made my dad so angry that he wanted to beat him up. You know, my dad doesn't like to beat us up."

This is the truth. Shazhu got married at a relatively late age. After he got married and had children, he loved his wife dearly and cared about her. If he wasn't extremely angry, he would never have done such a thing.

"and after?"

"Later, my mother tried to stop him, and they had a quarrel. In the end, it was Uncle Cao who spoke up for him and scolded my father. Then Xiao Zhu went to school. It should be said that he is really a good student. It's a pity that he can't take the college entrance examination now. However, Uncle Cao said that it will happen sooner or later. By then, our He family will also have a college student. My father will be so happy."

"Uncle He is Dele." Banggeng echoed, "What about my mom? Is she the team leader?"

"You don't know?" He Xiao was a little surprised. "Aunt Qin is very powerful now. She is the team leader of a workshop, but in fact, she is already the workshop director. I heard that the workshop director is going to retire. After she retires, the position should belong to Aunt Qin."

"But isn't she a talented girl?" Banggeng knew a little bit about the situation.

No matter what, cadres must be educated. Without education, they can’t even write a document properly, let alone explain things clearly.

In addition to the fact that the arrest of Sha Zhu was anticlimactic, which made Li Huaide unhappy, the most important thing was that the Second Uncle did not even have the ability to handle documents. Xu Damao was different. He was well-educated and had no problem handling materials. In contrast to the two, it was obvious who to use.

"Aunt Qin taught herself, have you forgotten? When Aunt Lou was still around, Aunt Jingru followed her all the time. Later, Aunt Qin followed your aunt to learn, and I heard she did quite well. She became quite famous, and now at the steel mill, who doesn't give a thumbs up when mentioning Aunt Qin?"

Bang Geng's mood became more and more complicated.

Well, it’s Cao Wei again.

Even if others don't know, how could he not know what's going on?

Why do I feel like after wandering around, everything I see is related to Cao Wei.

"Hey, where are you going? Are you going to see Aunt Qin? Do you know where she is?"

"Is it still the same workshop as before?"

"Yes. It's the same one as before. Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, no, I'll go by myself. Sorry to bother you."

"Hey, we're all neighbors, why be polite?"
