Chapter 31 Lou Bancheng



The kitchen of Hongbinlou.

He Yumo was chopping vegetables frantically.

His vegetable cutting skills are now very smooth.

It is possible to do two things at once without affecting the quality of the cut.

At this moment, He Yumo was cutting vegetables while thinking about her next plan.

It seemed that his cooking skills were about to reach perfection.

But he hasn't figured out what to do next.

Next, he wants to learn skills that can help improve his physical fitness.

Another point is that it must be very practical at the moment.

After all, there is not much time left for him!

Just as I was thinking about it, Boss Shen's voice suddenly came from the kitchen door.

"Master Wan, Lou Bancheng is going to bring some guests to our place for dinner around 11:30. Please make good arrangements for them!"

"Okay!" Master Wan responded readily.

Lou Bancheng?

He Yumo felt a chill in his heart.

Speaking of Lou Bancheng, he is a prominent figure in the city of Beijing!

In Beijing, almost no one doesn't know him.

This Lou Bancheng is the father of Lou Xiao'e in "The Romance of Four Seasons".

Relying on his strong business acumen, he started from scratch and built up a huge family business, among which the Red Star Steel Mill was one of his industries.

He Yumo suddenly had an idea.

Yes, I can go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and learn locksmithing!

In addition to completing system tasks and improving one's physical skills, the skill of locksmithing has another very important point: this skill is very important in this era!

Isn't this exactly what he wants!

You may not be very familiar with this so-called locksmith skill.

I probably only know that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong did this in the previous TV series "Love in the Courtyard".

Among them, Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, and Liu Haizhong is one level lower than him and is a seventh-level fitter.

But what exactly is this concept?

Here is a brief introduction.

Since 1956, China has begun to carry out wage reforms and gradually implemented an eight-level wage system among workers in industrial enterprises.

Since then, "Grade 8 workers" has become the goal of the working class.

In this era, the title of "Level 8 Worker" is not only an enviable identity, but also a synonym for top craftsmen with superb skills and meticulous workmanship. It also represents high income and high technology.

For technical workers at that time, let alone being rated as "Grade 8 Workers", even if they were rated as "Grade 5 Workers" or "Grade 6 Workers", they would already have a very high status in the factory and in society!

To use a vivid metaphor, if the sixth-level worker is like a hero in a martial arts novel, then the eighth-level worker is basically a god-like existence like a sweeping monk!

This metaphor is not an exaggeration at all!

In that era, machine technology was backward and the accuracy was not high. There were no advanced equipment, let alone advanced intelligent manufacturing.

In this way, this level 8 worker becomes particularly valuable!

Many of the most powerful weapons and equipment at that time were made by hand.

It is said that the first atomic bomb, the uranium filling of the first generation of submarines, and even space satellites were all made by hand by these technicians! Hence the saying that "hand-made aircraft carriers are comparable to machine tools"!

Of course He Yumo wanted to learn such a powerful skill. Not only did he want to learn it, but he also wanted to quickly reach the level of an eighth-level worker!

In this way, perhaps he could repair guns, or even airplanes, tanks, and cannons with his bare hands on the battlefield!

However, such a prestigious title is not easy to obtain. Ordinary people cannot obtain it without decades of hard work.

For example, at the Red Star Steel Mill, even in the 1960s, there were only a few people who could reach the eighth-level wage qualification! Yi Zhonghai was one of them.

So don’t be fooled by the fact that Yi Zhonghai in the original drama is annoying and a hypocrite, he is indeed very good at technology!

Therefore, he had a very high social status, which may be the main reason why he was able to become the boss in charge of the courtyard house later!

However, He Yumo is different. He has an incredible comprehension!

After traveling through these days, he has deeply witnessed the power of this system.

Therefore, he believed that he would be able to acquire this skill quickly!

The decision has been made, and the next step is to find a way to enter the Red Star Steel Mill.

However, at that time, it was not particularly easy to get a job at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

What's more, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both have opinions about him.

They still have a very high status in the entire workshop, especially in the fitter area.

With these two old foxes around, He Yumo estimated that he would not be able to get in easily.

However, when he heard Lou Bancheng's name, He Yumo's heart moved and he suddenly had an idea!

He could easily get into the Red Star Steel Mill through Lou Bancheng's connections!

He is the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Moreover, public-private partnership has not yet been implemented.

At the Red Star Steel Mill, Lou Bancheng basically has the final say.

As long as you please him, why worry about not getting in?

But how can I get close to Lou Bancheng?

He Yumo thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up!

Got it!

Recently, he seemed to have heard the fat man Liu Haizhong complaining in the compound more than once.

It is said that ever since Master Li from the Red Star Steel Mill was no longer in the cafeteria.

The food in this cafeteria is getting worse and worse!

I heard that even the factory director Lou Bancheng was worried about this and said he wanted to hire a chef from outside!

But I heard that no suitable one was found yet.

Isn’t this the best opportunity!

If I can attract Lou Bancheng's attention with my cooking skills, maybe this thing can really succeed!

Thinking of this, He Yumo pleaded with Master Wan, "Master Wan, can you let me cook for Boss Lou's table today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the kitchen looked at He Yumo.

Especially this Li Donglai, he was very unhappy!

What does this kid mean?

In the past, Boss Lou’s dishes were always prepared by him and Chef Wan together.

But He Yumo actually said this!

What? Does he want to show off in front of Lou Bancheng?

Or did he feel that he had grown strong enough to ride on Li Donglai's head?!

Humph! You want to replace me? You're still a little immature!

So, without waiting for Master Wan to speak, Li Donglai said:

"Master Wan, Lou Bancheng has a very picky mouth!"

"His dishes have always been made by you and me together. He must have gotten used to our tastes!"
