Chapter 117 Tian Shulin

Time always slips away inadvertently, and soon it is July.

The sky in July was scorching hot, and the sun was baking the earth like a furnace. Some time ago, the steel rolling mill held a level test. This time, Li Shengli did not miss the opportunity and directly applied for two levels.

Deputy Director Li also knew Li Shengli's skills. Li Shengli did not fail this assessment, so he became a seventh-level cook in the steel rolling mill with a monthly salary of 41.5 yuan. Yan Bugui wanted to ask Li Shengli to treat him to a meal on the grounds that Li Shengli had been promoted, but Li Shengli would not indulge him and asked him directly how much gift money he should give.

With Yan Bugui's personality, there was no way he would pay the money, so the matter ended up in nothing.

By July, the summer season had already arrived at the steel mill. With the weather so hot, the mill leaders were afraid that the workers would get heat stroke, so they ordered the canteen to make some mung bean soup for everyone to cool down.

This job of course belonged to Li Shengli in the third canteen. It was not difficult. Li Shengli took rice and mung beans to prepare soup. Liu Xikui and other kitchen helpers also came over. This was a good opportunity to learn from him.

Li Shengli didn't intend to hide it from others. This mung bean soup is very simple.

Soon, the mung bean soup was boiled in the pot. When the weather got hot, the mung bean soup was cooked and cooled down. Li Shengli and others pushed a cart carrying the soup bucket to a nearby workshop to distribute the mung bean soup to everyone. Li Shengli was responsible for pushing the cart over, and he handed the matter of making the soup to Liu Xikui.

"This soup is really good for cooling down." The person who got the mung bean soup first felt refreshed after drinking it and felt much cooler.

Li Shengli smiled and said nothing. It was all psychological.

Soon they arrived at Workshop 7, and everyone lined up to get mung bean soup. After a while, Qin Huairu came over with a lunch box to get some soup. Behind her followed a bald, older-looking man who seemed to keep getting closer to Qin Huairu.

Could this person be Guo Dapiezi? Li Shengli took a quick look and didn't care.

"Please hit me more." It was Qin Huairu's turn. Qin Huairu said to Liu Xikui with a sweet smile, while Li Shengli pretended not to see this person.

Liu Xikui's heart was moved and he couldn't help but hit Qin Huairu a little more. Li Shengli saw this and shook his head secretly. This Liu Xikui was really useless.

After sharing the mung bean soup, the two pushed the cart back to the kitchen.

When I get off work at noon.

"Shengli, come here for a moment." Li Shengli was about to go home from get off work with a bowl of carefully prepared mung bean soup in his hand. Wang Tiezhu was greeting Li Shengli at the canteen door.

"Squad leader, what's the matter?" Li Shengli was a little puzzled because he still had to pick up Han Qiuyun after get off work.

"Come here first." Wang Tiezhu didn't say what was the matter, but just asked Li Shengli to come over mysteriously.

Li Shengli walked over with a net bag containing a large teacup.

"Shengli, let me introduce you to someone." Wang Tiezhu pulled a person out from the back. "This is Tian Shulin, a new member of our cafeteria."

Li Shengli looked at Wang Tiezhu in surprise. No one retired in this cafeteria.

Wang Tiezhu winked at Li Shengli.

"Sergeant, do you mean that you want me to take him with me?" Li Shengli planned to ask Wang Tiezhu later.

"It's not me, it's Director Xu."

"Director Xu?" Li Shengli looked at Tian Shulin, who was wearing patched clothes and had dark skin. He didn't look like anyone's relative.

"Okay, no problem for me." Li Shengli thought for a while and said, he already had an apprentice, so he would let Tian Shulin take him and try first.

"I knew there was no problem with you. You're the best cook in our cafeteria and you don't hide your talent." Wang Tiezhu patted Li Shengli's shoulder vigorously. This kid really gave him face.

"Sergeant, have all the other matters for Tian Shulin been arranged?" Li Shengli asked while enduring the pain.

"Let's arrange it today. I'll bring him over to say hello to you first." Wang Tiezhu waved his hand.

"No problem, squad leader, you arrange it, and when he is done, just come to me." Li Shengli said to the man standing uneasy in front of him. "Tian Shulin, take a good look at this man in front of you, he is the best cook among us, just follow him and learn from him." Wang Tiezhu said to Tian Shulin with a smile on his face.

"Got it, squad leader." Tian Shulin said to Wang Tiezhu in a muffled voice, and then turned to Li Shengli and said, "I'll trouble you in the future."

"Okay then. I'll take you to the logistics department to get your things. When you come to work tomorrow, just go find Li Shengli." With that, Wang Tiezhu took Tian Shulin and Li Shengli, said hello, and left.

Li Shengli didn't think much about it. At the beginning, he had to practice the basics, and the first thing was cutting vegetables.

Li Shengli first went home with his lunch box. The weather was hot, so he waited until almost the end of the workday to pick people up. When he got home, Li Shengli washed his body with some cold water.

When it was almost time to get off work, he took a cup of mung bean soup and went to the woolen mill to pick up Han Qiuyun.

"Qiuyun." After waiting for a while under the big tree in front of the woolen mill, Li Shengli received Han Qiuyun.

Han Qiuyun came to Li Shengli under the teasing of the female workers in the same factory.

"Come, drink some mung bean soup to cool down." Li Shengli handed over the mung bean soup.

Han Qiuyun took the mung bean soup and drank a few sips, then handed it to Li Shengli who didn't understand. Now that they were sharing a cup, Han Qiuyun no longer felt embarrassed.

Li Shengli took it but didn't drink it.

"Take it back and give it to Qiuyu and the old lady. Don't let them get heatstroke in such hot weather." Li Shengli said after putting the cup into the net bag.

"Okay." Han Qiuyun nodded. Now she usually wouldn't refuse Li Shengli for such small matters.

"Shengli, I'll go clean up the house for you on Sunday." Tan Qiuyun said softly while sitting in the back seat. The two of them had started dating, but Han Qiuyun had never been to Li Shengli's house.

"Sure." Li Shengli nodded happily. Although he could clean it himself, this woman's was cleaner.

"But I have to tell you about the situation in our compound first." Li Shengli was going to give Han Qiuyun a shot of prevention first. There were too many monsters and demons in his compound.

"First, there's an uncle in our compound. His name is Yi Zhonghai..." Li Shengli introduced the situation of the compound to Han Qiuyun. For example, the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai is good at moral blackmailing others, the second uncle Liu Haizhong likes to beat children, the third uncle Yan Bugui is scheming, Xu Damao is a pervert and should be paid special attention to, and Sha Zhu doesn't need to be bothered with.

Li Shengli focused on talking to Han Qiuyun about the Jia family.

"It seems that Qin Huairu in your hospital is in a difficult situation." Han Qiuyun also felt pity for Qin Huairu from a woman's perspective.

"Don't think like that." Li Shengli was so scared that he quickly dispelled Han Qiuyun's idea.

"You see, when I go out to take private jobs, I always bring back lunch boxes." Li Shengli used himself as an example.

Han Qiuyun said "hmm" to show that she knew that all the things Li Shengli brought back from his private jobs were good things, such as braised pork, pork elbows and the like.

"He Yuzhu in our hospital is also a chef. He gave his lunch box to Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu keeps crying poor every day. I lent her corn flour several times before, but she never paid it back." Li Shengli explained.

"Oh, that's indeed not right." Everyone has difficult times. Even in the most difficult three years, no one said they would not return the grain. A little grain could save a life.

"So her family can get by if they save money." Li Shengli concluded. For some unknown reason in the plot, her family has never worn patched clothes.

"I understand. I'll go clean up the house for you this Sunday." Han Qiuyun thought for a while and said, you have to interact with these neighbors no matter what, so you should get used to them first.

"Okay, if you want to come, I'll pick you up on Sunday." Li Shengli thought for a while and said. Anyway, he had already taken precautions. If it really didn't work out, he would clean the house with Han Qiuyun. This was also a way to promote relationship.

Han Qiuyun responded from the back seat.
