Chapter 71 Blue Brick
When Yu Zhiyuan entered the backyard, he saw something piled on the back wall of the house in the middle courtyard. When he got closer, he saw that it was blue bricks.

Looking more closely, it is bigger than a blue brick.

Whose stuff is this?
Shake your head and go home to sleep.

I was woken up by the noise of a child outside early in the morning. Whose unlucky child is this?

Yu Zhiyuan put on his clothes and came out to take a look.

Okay, Gouzi, the four girls from Liang Ladi’s family, Qiaoqiao and Wenwen, are squatting there counting bricks.

Yu Zhiyuan walked over and asked, "Can someone tell me what's going on with this brick?"

None of Liang Ladi's children dared to speak.

Gouzi said, "Yesterday after school I saw them carrying bricks, so I asked what was going on?"

Yu Zhiyuan nodded. Gouzi pointed at Damao and said, "They said the city wall was being demolished over there. They were small, so they just moved a few pieces back."

Yu Zhiyuan knew that the construction of the first subway line in New Taipei City would start this year and the city wall would be demolished.

"I asked them what they were doing after carrying the bricks back?"

Gouzi pointed at Damao again and said, "He said he wanted to use the stove for the Sunday dinner party."

Yu Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what the children were thinking, and touched Damao's head.

Gouzi added, "After I heard what they said, I put down my schoolbag and went to move a few times. Sister Qiaoqiao also moved."

Yu Zhiyuan nodded.

Qiaoqiao said, "We were just counting the bricks to see if there were enough."

"They are all good kids!"

Yu Zhiyuan whispered to Qiaoqiao, "Go back and get some candies, at least one for each person."

Yu Qiaoqiao ran back home.

Yu Zhiyuan looked at Damao and said, "How old are you?"

Da Mao blinked his eyes and said, "Uncle, I am six years old, my older brother is five, my younger brother is three and a half, and my younger sister is two and a half."

Yu Zhiyuan complained in his heart that Liang Ladi had a physique that made it easy for her to get pregnant!
Qiaoqiao took out the candy and handed it to Yu Zhiyuan.

"Uncle praises what you did, and now he's giving you candy!"

"Da Mao, come here."

Damao walked up to Yu Zhiyuan.

"You did a good job. Now it's your turn to distribute the candy." Yu Zhiyuan said and gave the candy to Damao.

Da Mao looked around and went to Brother Gouzi first: "Brother Gouzi; this is yours."

Then he handed the dog a piece of fruit candy.

Gouzi touched Damao's head and took it.

Gouzi walked up to Qiaoqiao and said, "Sister Qiaoqiao, this is yours."

Qiaoqiao took the candy.

Damao gave Ermao one dollar, Sanmao two dollars, Xiu two dollars, and took one dollar for himself.

Hand the remaining piece to Yu Zhiyuan.

Yu Zhiyuan smiled and took the candy: "I've already praised you, and I've also criticized you, Gouzi, are you still tearing down the city wall?"

The dog nodded.

Yu Zhiyuan nodded, pointed at Sanmao and Xiu and said, "How old are they? How old are you? What if a brick falls? Are you responsible or Damao? Are you parents or Damao's parents responsible?"

No one spoke, and Yu Zhiyuan asked Qiaoqiao to go over and stand in a row.

Just then, Da Zhuang's wife came out and saw him. He grabbed his wife and shook his head.

"Dog, Big Hair. I don't mind if you take them to do some work, but you have to be aware of the danger. Understand? If anything happens to any of you, the family won't be able to bear the blow."

"I don't know what time you moved yesterday, but you moved again after school. It's dark now, and there are all kinds of people on the road. If something happens, none of you can be held responsible. Do you understand?"

Several people nodded.

"Do your parents know?"

Several people shook their heads.

"From now on, whenever it's dark, you have to report to your parents when you leave the compound, even if it's just to go to the toilet. Remember?"

"remember."

Yu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, have you counted them? Is it enough for the stove?"

Gouzi said, "It's still halfway."

"Okay, uncle is off work today, so I'll take you guys to move, okay?"

See a few people nod.

"Go, let's go back and eat."

Yu Zhiyuan watched them leave before he got up and prepared to go home to wash up.

Seeing Dazhuang and his wife nodded, they went back to the house.

After breakfast, they gathered and walked to the steel mill. Yu Zhiyuan pulled Dazhuang to the back and asked, "Sister-in-law, you haven't got a job yet, right?"

Dazhuang nodded.

"We have a special canteen in our workshop, you know?"

"Can such a good thing happen?"

"Then why do you think Nan Yi, a cook, should be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement?"

"Go on."

"The canteen needs an apprentice to help in the kitchen. Would you like to ask your sister-in-law to go?"

"Yes, of course not, it's a good thing."

"That's fine, wait for the notification!"

"middle!"

When he arrived at the meeting room in the administrative building, Yu Zhiyuan was stopped.

The comrade from the Security Department said that the director was looking for him.

Yu Zhiyuan knocked on the director's office door: "Director, you are looking for me."

"The cafeteria is almost finished. Take Nan Yi to have a look and see what's missing!"

"Okay, Director."

What do you mean, are you treating me as an assistant?
really do.

When we got to the meeting room, we called Nan Yi out.

"Master Nan, the cafeteria is almost finished. I want you to go and take a look. Are there any additions or deletions?"

"Zhiyuan, just call me Nanyi."

"Just call me Brother Nan!"

The two arrived at the cafeteria.

"Let's build a storage room and keep the seasonings separately."

Yu Zhiyuan took out his notebook and wrote it down.

"It would be more hygienic to separate the cold dish room with iron sheets or wooden boards."

Yu Zhiyuan nodded and wrote it down.

"Storage rooms and cooked food operation rooms must have shelves, and the same applies to pasta rooms. Food cannot come into contact with the ground. The ground must be hardened to drain water, and there must be trenches for easy cleaning."

Yu Zhiyuan nodded and wrote it down.

"Is our cafeteria independent?"

"Yes."

"We can store cabbages outside in the winter, but not potatoes and radishes. We need a vegetable cellar."

Yu Zhiyuan wrote down: "Anything else? Brother Nan."

"There must be a chef for side dishes. What about the pasta? Who will make it?"

"Don't worry, Brother Nan, I will prepare it for you. But you need to learn how to cut the vegetables for a few days, we are all new to it, and the same goes for the noodles."

Nan Yi nodded helplessly.

After seeing Nan Yi off, Yu Zhiyuan went to communicate with the person in charge of infrastructure. After stating his requirements, he went to report to the director.

I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Yu Zhiyuan needs to go out and make some contacts.

Yu Zhiyuan rode a three-wheeled vehicle to Henggang Village in Fangshan and found his father-in-law who was working.

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something. Where is your village chief?"

"It's not there. Come on, Dad will take you there."

"Zhiyuan, why did you find time to come here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Zhiyuan gave the two people cigarettes before he spoke: "The factory has a new workshop, and it needs separate procurement. I will be in charge of procurement."

Then he took out his purchase certificate.

"You can ask everyone to grow vegetables in their private plots. I will come to buy them every morning. You can also raise more chickens and eggs. I will also harvest the chickens in winter. As for the pigs and sheep, it depends on your ability."

"Oh, Zhiyuan, that's great. I will definitely mobilize them."

Yu Zhiyuan went to the old couple's house again and gave him a piece of tofu every week. If he didn't have enough soybeans, he would ask Yu Zhiyuan to deliver them to him.

After finally getting away, I went to Brother Ma’s house, who sells strawberries in Changping, and ordered strawberries, watermelons, and apples.

Air Force logistics procurement is awesome.

After finishing the work, I returned to the factory and reported my ideas and work progress to the director.

It’s never a bad idea to report to your leaders more often.

Director Qiao affirmed and encouraged Yu Zhiyuan's work.
