Regardless of Sha Zhu's temperament, it is undeniable that his cooking skills are absolutely the best in the steel mill, so Sha Zhu basically takes care of all the cooking in the kitchen, not to mention when big leaders from outside come over.
But Li Xuewu said that Sha Zhu had a bad temper and that they should change the chef, which was a bit targeted, or rather, it was aimed at the new factory manager.
Wang Wenzhi, as the office director, is now in a dilemma. He should have known better than to ask Li Xuewu earlier.
"Fine, let's do as Li Xuewu says. Hopefully, the new factory director won't be picky about food and drink and won't be able to tell the difference between good and bad food," Wang Wenzhi thought to himself.
Knowing that a high-ranking official from the factory was coming, Sha Zhu didn't sneak away beforehand. Instead, he picked up his teacup and waited patiently. In this factory, no one was better at preparing special meals than him, which was also the reason for his stubbornness.
But no one came to call him.
"Ma Hua, go see if the big leader who came from above has left yet. Why hasn't the canteen manager come to call me to cook special meals?" Sha Zhu could only instruct his apprentice to find out the situation.
He was called an apprentice, but he was really just a student. He did odd jobs for him and never taught him any real skills.
Upon hearing Sha Zhu's instructions, Ma Hua immediately ran out. After a while, Ma Hua returned.
“Master, the big leaders haven’t left,” Ma Hua said hesitantly.
"They didn't leave, they didn't leave, why didn't anyone call me to cook? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go help me."
These people are really incompetent; they always mess things up at crucial moments. What will the leaders eat then? After saying that, Sha Zhu was about to get up.
"Master, don't bother with that yet, someone's already cooking over there."
Ma Hua quickly stopped his mentor. If they actually went to prepare, it would really become a joke.
"Who? Who dared to steal my special treatment? This new leader has been trying to cause trouble for me ever since. I'll teach him a lesson!" Sha Zhu snapped.
They say rivals are enemies, and these chefs were always competing. But because their skills were truly exceptional, Sha Zhu consistently held the top spot, while the others could only fight for second place. This time, someone dared to challenge his territory—did they not want to stay at the steel mill?
"I heard that Chef Bi from the third canteen was directly assigned by the office." Ma Hua went out for a while and gathered a lot of information.
"The office? When will the office arrange logistics matters? I'll go to the third canteen to see Lao Bi and see when he learned any new skills."
Sha Zhu, with his hands behind his back, strode off to the third canteen. Someone was causing trouble on his private plot of land, and he had to make a scene, otherwise people would think he was easy to mess with, and once he did, he would do it again, and once he did it again, he would do it again.
If everyone starts competing with him for special treatment, what will he use to appease Qin Huairu? Now, although he no longer considers Qin Huairu his former ideal woman, they each get what they need, and he feels he's not losing out.
"Hey, Lao Bi, I heard you've improved a lot lately, and you can even give private lessons now."
Sha Zhu went straight into the third canteen through the back door and saw a bustling scene. Some people were chopping vegetables, others were picking them, and it was a harmonious scene.
When the staff in the third canteen saw Sha Zhu arrive, they knew he was there to cause trouble. Earlier, when the office staff asked Chef Bi to prepare special meals, someone had suggested that Sha Zhu might be unwilling. But a chef who doesn't want to prepare special meals isn't a good cook, and Chef Bi, seeing his chance, naturally wasn't going to back down.
The chefs didn't deny Sha Zhu's culinary skills, but they felt his reputation was overrated, with more hype than actual ability. They believed that if given the chance, they could do just as well.
Before Master Bi could even speak, his apprentices objected. Unlike Sha Zhu, Master Bi had taken on several apprentices and was willing to teach them real skills, so the apprentices treated their master very well.
"Shazhu, this is the third canteen, not your first canteen. If you have any problems, go back to the first canteen." After saying this, the apprentices stood up and surrounded Shazhu.
They are usually chefs, all of them are physically strong and have an imposing presence when they stand up.
If they had spoken politely, Sha Zhu would have been unhappy, but he wouldn't have had a reason to lash out. Now that's happened, Sha Zhu has started acting recklessly.
"Old Bi, you big idiot, you're not good at your own craft, yet you dare to mislead others. Today, I'll teach your apprentices a few tricks."
After saying that, Sha Zhu immediately started to act, raising his foot to kick the burly man closest to him. But this time, Sha Zhu miscalculated.
In the compound, everyone was malnourished, and none of them were martial arts experts, so naturally they were no match for Sha Zhu. But these chefs, while not exactly martial arts experts, were certainly plump and strong, and Sha Zhu's kick only made them stagger.
"Go! Beat Sha Zhu to death and avenge Master."
An older chef had long disliked Sha Zhu, but was simply outmatched in skill. Today, Sha Zhu came to his door, and the chef, with a "what's done is done" attitude, started to attack.
The kitchen in the third canteen instantly descended into chaos, with several people engaging in a brawl. At first, Chef Bi feigned concern and tried to break up the fight, but later he simply took advantage of the confusion to kick Sha Zhu. Fortunately, everyone kept to their limits, and no one grabbed a knife from the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the outcome of the battle became clear. The group sat down on the ground, while Sha Zhu lay there motionless.
"Is this kid alright?" an older woman asked.
"It's alright, we know how to handle things. At most, he'll be swollen for a few days, he won't be seriously injured."
Hearing this, some of the other onlookers, seeing that there was no immediate danger, boldly stepped on the rocks a few times.
"Damn it, you're ganging up on us because you outnumber us. If you've got the guts, let's meet in the old alley outside the factory tonight."
Sha Zhu was stepped on, and he almost sat up, which was pretending to be dead. But he couldn't fight off so many people, so he could only make threats.
He really messed up today; he was too careless. If he had brought Ma Hua and the fat man with him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Get out, and don't come to our third canteen again." "Get lost."
The fight between the group was quick, the damage was minor, and no one went to the security department. Sha Zhu was thus kicked out of the third canteen.
"Hey, Sha Zhu, what happened to your face?"
Sha Zhu never expected that he would be seen by Xu Damao, who had arrived earlier, as soon as he came out of the third canteen. Today was truly an unlucky day.
"It's nothing. I borrowed some ingredients from Master Bi a few days ago and just returned them to him," Sha Zhu said.
"Did you trip and fall on your way here?" Xu Damao asked.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what you said. Sigh, the ground in many places in our factory is uneven now, it shouldn't be like this. I'll go ask the logistics department next time." After saying that, Sha Zhu covered his face and ran away.
Seeing Sha Zhu's condition, Xu Damao could roughly guess what had happened. But driven by curiosity, he still went inside to verify it.
Although everyone was tight-lipped about it, Xu Damao knew without asking that several people had bruises and there were still rotten vegetable leaves on the ground.
