Chapter 125

Sha Zhu returned to the back kitchen, took half a Chinese cabbage, a carrot, and a small pinch of vermicelli. DuangDuangDuang, in less than an hour, he made a pot of iron pot stew, and there were two bowls.

"It just so happens that I didn't eat at noon either. Taste the stewed cabbage with vermicelli made by brother, and these cornmeal pot stickers."

"Hey, do I still need to taste Brother Zhu's craftsmanship? Just eat it."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cabbage and tasted it. This craftsmanship is really nothing to say. Sha Zhu put in effort for the things he ate himself.

Halfway through eating, Li Xuewu asked: "Brother Zhu, I'm really going to learn cooking from you. Do I have to buy a set of pots and pans?"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was really prepared to learn, Sha Zhu said: "You have to buy them. There are seasonings and such at home. You should prepare a set of frying pans, spoons, and kitchen knives."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see after work."

Sha Zhu said: "No need. Do you know the pigeon market by the lake?"

Li Xuewu thought to himself, you ask me this?

He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Go to the second-hand market to buy?"

Sha Zhu laughed: "These cooking utensils are not the newer the better. Some utensils have been used by master craftsmen for many years, and the edges have been smoothed out. Those are easy to use."

"Just like a mason's trowel, it's only easy to use after it's been sharpened. Cooks are the same. Frying pans and stewing pots used for a long time make food more fragrant, and kitchen knives are easier to use after the blade is ground into an arc."

Li Xuewu finally knew that different professions are like mountains. He said: "Alright, I'll listen to you and go to the second-hand market to buy."

Sha Zhu asked while eating: "I thought you were joking yesterday. I didn't expect you to really learn. What's going on?"

Li Xuewu had long decided to split the family, so he wasn't afraid of Sha Zhu knowing, and told the truth.

"I am the second child in the family. Now that I have a job and a house, I have to set up a separate household. If I don't learn to cook, do I have to go home and eat?"

Sha Zhu laughed, knowing in his heart that Li Xuewu's family shouldn't be as harmonious as it appeared on the surface, and asked: "You live in our courtyard, isn't it convenient to eat with your family?"

Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "Sooner or later, we have to split the family. Once we're out, don't be connected, otherwise it won't be comfortable."

Sha Zhu nodded and said: "Okay, my craftsmanship doesn't count for much. If you have time after work, come to my house and I'll teach you. Your family has the habit of the Northeast. I also know a medicinal diet master who is good at making Northeast stew. We have Chinese medicine at home, and cooking is another flavor. I'll give you the address, and you go find him. They are ancestral, just mention me."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Then thank you, Brother Zhu."

Sha Zhu laughed: "Don't thank me yet. I was tricked by you yesterday, and you haven't told me what's going on with that grandson Xu Damao."

Li Xuewu had already told First Master, so he wasn't afraid of telling Sha Zhu.

"He had a blackout and couldn't say who it was that night, but he said some things from before."

Sha Zhu asked: "This can convict him, why was he released again?"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu and said: "But he can prove that he and Watching Lou Xiaoe are not husband and wife. The divorce certificate says they divorced in the first month."

Sha Zhu said firmly: "Impossible, how is this possible?"

Li Xuewu didn't take it seriously: "Possible or not, I don't care. His father can produce a divorce certificate, and Watching Lou Xiaoe has no objection, so it can only be considered an improper style, and he can only be expelled."

When Sha Zhu heard that it was Xu Damao's father who handled the matter, he understood instantly.

He nodded and said: "If you say it's his father, then I know what's going on. His father is not a good person. When they lived in our courtyard before, they didn't do much good. They were shameless. They have some connections in the civil affairs department. Otherwise, how could they get two houses? If you say this, I know how he did it."

Li Xuewu nodded and didn't pick up the conversation, because it wasn't convenient to say anything, and it had nothing to do with him anyway.

Sha Zhu asked again: "Then what happened to the house in the back courtyard after Watching Lou Xiaoe divorced? I saw Watching Lou Xiaoe still living there. Could their family be so kind as to leave the house to Watching Lou Xiaoe?"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu and said: "His father said the whole family was moving away, and the house had to be sold. Xu Damao borrowed 100 yuan from me before and asked if I wanted the house. I saw the house was okay, so I agreed to let them mortgage the house to pay off the debt. Sister Lou said she would move out in a week and vacate the house for me."

Sha Zhu didn't care why Xu Damao borrowed money from Li Xuewu, nodded and said: "Those three rooms are indeed not bad. The houses in this courtyard were uniformly maintained once before, and they all used good bricks and tiles. You can live in it as soon as you take over."

After saying that, he sighed: "Xu Damao is a bastard, but Watching Lou Xiaoe is not a bastard. She is an open-minded person. It's a pity to give her to Xu Damao, sigh~"

Seeing Sha Zhu feeling sorry for Watching Lou Xiaoe here, Li Xuewu didn't answer, just nodded, thinking to himself that he thought so too.

He put down his chopsticks and went to Liu Lan to hand in his meal tickets.

He came back, took the address written by Sha Zhu, and returned to the office.

In the afternoon, he continued to write the implementation plan for the "Emergency Plan Drill." He listed the outline, deleted and modified it, couldn't touch the red line, couldn't lose its effect, and tried his best to use business terms without any other colors and purposes.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Yating came in with the report. This girl was a new official with three fires, burning very vigorously, and had plenty of drive, especially with Liu Fusheng and Wei Tong supporting her from behind. She was also a female comrade. If she didn't work hard, she would be talked about.

When female comrades take office is always a problem viewed with colored glasses.

He took the case review report, carefully compared the handling opinions with the detailed case closure report, wrote modification opinions in several inappropriate places, signed it, and took the report to Dong Wenxue's office.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Sister Xie was also there. The two were discussing the expansion of the Security Section. Seeing Li Xuewu come, Dong Wenxue waved at him.

"Come, come, come, let this Security Section Chief say why the Security Stock has added twice the manpower."

After all, the Security Stock is a powerful unit, and personnel reduction is a relatively important and sensitive issue, especially this time when the manpower has been doubled.

Li Xuewu handed the document to Dong Wenxue, then sat down beside Sister Xie, facing Dong Wenxue and said: "Teacher, take a look. This is the list of problematic personnel found in the first inspection yesterday. I have already reviewed the handling opinions. Please give an instruction."

Then he said to Sister Xie: "Sister, it's not that I want to make trouble as soon as I come up, but it's really stretched thin. Yesterday, during the search, nearly twenty people were found carrying items and stealing. The Security Stock only has 5 people, and they have to work night shifts. Even if they work continuously, they can't be busy. In the future, both entering the factory in the morning and leaving the factory in the evening need the Security Stock to assist, and there is really no manpower to be busy."
