Chapter 76 Comfort Zone
As time goes by, He Yuzhu is getting more and more accustomed to the current busyness.

Just like today, He Yuzhu ran straight out of the factory after work.

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi." Clerk Li shouted behind him.

He Yuzhu stopped and looked back with a smile, although he was helpless.

But Clerk Li ran towards He Yuzhu breathlessly. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Clerk Li, are you waiting for me on time?"

Since the last introduction of Manager Qian, the relationship between the two has undergone a qualitative change.

At least Clerk Li knew that He Yuzhu was a reliable person with connections.

And these are exactly what Mr. Li lacks now.

Another thing is that He Yuzhu cooked for him without asking for money but brought the dishes with him. This made Mr. Li believe that He Yuzhu was a man of rules.

He Yuzhu unknowingly entered Clerk Li's "usable" wallet.

Clerk Li complained: "I've been in a meeting all afternoon, otherwise I would have come to you a long time ago.

Zhuzi, are you free on Sunday?"

He Yuzhu laughed. There was no need to ask, it was Clerk Li who was thinking of showing his kindness with delicious food again.

He Yuzhu had never seen Li's wife, and it was said that they were married. But Li lived in a single room, and there was no sign of a woman's life in it.

He Yuzhu asked, "What would you like to eat this time, Clerk Li?"

Clerk Li answered without hesitation: "It's the same old things, a braised pork, a mapo tofu, and a vegetarian soup.

It's because of your craftsmanship, we can't make that taste."

People are very frugal these days. Even when they entertain guests, everyone leaves with nothing left over.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and come directly to your place. You just wait for me at home."

Unlike cooking for other people, when He Yuzhu cooks for Clerk Li, he buys the vegetables himself.

We hope that Clerk Li can buy the pork belly that He Yuzhu wants, and then buy the shank meat instead.

This would certainly be a good deal in later generations, but in this day and age, it is really a loss.

Every profession has its own expertise. For example, when He Yuzhu goes to buy vegetables, he doesn't even need to touch them. He just needs to stand not far away and smell the food, look at the color, and he will know whether the vegetables are fresh and whether there are any defects.

Take pork for example. People are thrifty these days. If some animals get sick and die, no one would be willing to throw them away unless there is a plague.

They are all sold cheaply to customers.

But for this sale, for regular customers, the merchant will explain clearly to the customer how the animal died, how long it has been dead, what the original price was, and how much it is selling for now.

If customers are willing to buy it, sell it at a low price.

If I don't want to, I won't cheat.

But that's only for regular customers.

When merchants encounter someone like Clerk Li who obviously doesn't understand, they will show no mercy when trying to cheat them.

In a city as big as Sijiucheng, there are all kinds of people in the vegetable market.

So Director Li went there twice and then entrusted the matter to He Yuzhu.

Of course, money still has to be given.

Although Clerk Li doesn't know how to buy vegetables, he knows how to eat.

He Yuzhu ate the ingredients he purchased twice and knew the difference.

After Clerk Li finished explaining his work, he asked, "Zhu Zi, I see you have been in a hurry these days. Is there something going on outside?"

"Yeah," He Yuzhu replied.

"Do you need help?" Clerk Li asked again.

This is because Clerk Li feels embarrassed for bothering others all the time.

In official affairs, with his current position, he couldn't give any benefits to He Yuzhu, so he thought about helping He Yuzhu with private matters.

Last time, we assigned a squad leader to He Yuzhu, but till today he has not received any subsidy, and instead has a lot more work to do.

Although Clerk Li had connections above him and knew when the public-private partnership would begin, he did not know that He Yuzhu also knew about this.

He thought He Yuzhu was willing to be the monitor for free because he was kind. In fact, what He Yuzhu valued most now was the position of monitor, and money was not the most important thing.

But it is about his future prospects. With this status, when the time comes for public-private partnership, that will be his qualification.

If he could be promoted to a higher level during the expansion, He Yuzhu would have entered the workplace.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "No, I just go to the streets to prepare dry food for our soldiers on the peninsula after get off work every day."

Fried noodles were not invented by He Yuzhu, but have always existed.

Specifically, this kind of dry food was available when we traveled thousands of miles.

Of course, life was even harder back then, and fried noodles were only available occasionally.

During this period, people from all over the country prepared fried noodles and other things for the peninsula.

For example, Guo Lei's mother has been making shoes for the soldiers on the peninsula during this period.

We get the materials from the street, and then everyone voluntarily contributes their efforts to our most lovely people for free.

No one brags about these things; they just simply think they should do them.

He Yuzhu felt embarrassed when he thought about how he had encouraged the deaf old lady to make shoes in his previous life.

When Clerk Li heard that He Yuzhu was busy with this, he said seriously: "Comrade He Yuzhu, if you are busy over there, I can take a break here. The business is more important."

He Yuzhu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not busy, there is not enough material.

Otherwise we wouldn’t have fried for a while at night.”

Both of them were silent, neither of them had any way to solve this problem.

This is not one or one hundred kilograms of flour. If it were that much, you could save that much by being a little frugal.

And it’s not something that can be shipped once it’s made.

It's always difficult.

Clerk Li was silent for a moment, but then he said: "The working group has a few bicycles here. I will give you a note later and you can push one away.

If there is any need there during the day, as long as you have made arrangements, we can go over to help.

The road ahead is tough! Alas! "

This is definitely a good thing for He Yuzhu.

He has wanted to buy a bicycle for a long time.

It is indeed very helpless to walk around every day relying only on a pair of legs.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "That's great, I'm just in need of this."

Clerk Li was not in a good mood. He took out a pen and notebook from his pocket, wrote a note in a flamboyant manner, and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu thanked him again and ran directly to the bicycle parking area for the working group and handed the list to the security guard there.

Now, He Yuzhu can be considered a car owner.

Although the car was only lent to him temporarily and he might have to return it when he was done with his work, He Yuzhu was still very happy, after all, people tend to get lazier as they grow older.

In his previous life, he was used to having a car to travel. Now that he has returned to this era, he feels the most tiring thing is traveling long distances.

In life, we are used to creating comfort zones for ourselves, and then we don’t want to come out after staying in them.

Cars are, as are other daily necessities and certain lifestyles.

Only by stepping out of your comfort zone can you discover another possibility in life.
