Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 201 Preparing for a banquet, Lou Zhenhua's confidence
He Yuzhu shook his head and laughed. His requirements were quite high, including Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Northeastern cuisine!

In the past, Hu Guolong could barely cook home-cooked meals. How could he cook these dishes?

In the past, such customers would not be entertained outside, right?

If this is the case, then the steel mill would have made a lot of money by hiring him, and could save a lot of money in a year!

"Old Ma, prepare the dishes in the order of Mapo Tofu, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, Braised Pork, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms, Pickled Cabbage Vermicelli, and Nine-Turn Large Intestine!"

As soon as He Yuzhu announced the order of serving the dishes, Lao Ma began to prepare. The two of them already had a tacit understanding!

In fact, the dishes have been prepared long ago. What is called preparation now is to bring the prepared dishes to He Yuzhu!
"Director, do you also know how to cook Northeastern and Shandong cuisine?"

Lao Ma looked at He Yuzhu curiously. Is this guy already an all-rounder at only 18 years old?
"Haha, I learned how to make chicken stewed with mushrooms from He Daqing. Let me tell you something. Speaking of dishes, He Daqing is really good at making soup!
As for Shandong cuisine, I learned it from my master. Although he is proficient in Sichuan cuisine, he also knows Shandong cuisine!

It is said that my master learned Sichuan cuisine and my uncle learned Shandong cuisine. I have never met this uncle yet!

During the Chinese New Year, I was supposed to go to my master’s house for a gathering, but I didn’t make it and I didn’t get to see him!

As for pickled cabbage vermicelli, it goes without saying that it is a common dish in Beijing. My master's wife's pickled cabbage vermicelli is the best!"

He Yuzhu said this while frying, and it didn't affect his movements at all!

"May I ask who your uncle is?"

Old Ma looked at He Yuzhu curiously. This uncle must be a great culinary expert, right?

After all, his master, Wang Dana, is already very powerful!

Now that such a senior uncle has appeared, it is impossible not to be curious!

"My uncle is the chef of Taifenglou. He specializes in Shandong cuisine and his specialty is said to be the 'Yipin Pot'!
Of course, I have never eaten it, so I don’t know what it tastes like, but I heard Master mention it!”

He Yuzhu blurted out without thinking, seeming nonchalant!
Others were shocked. As old Beijingers, how could they not know Taifeng Building? It was one of the Eight Great Buildings!
Although Dongxinglou is known as the best among the Eight Buildings, Taifenglou is not far behind. The chef of the Eight Buildings can be said to be the ceiling of the Beijing chef world!
People like them don’t even have the qualifications to enter the entrance of the Eighth Building!
It’s not that you can’t go there, but it has always been a place where dignitaries eat!
If they went there, if they bumped into the servants it might bring disaster upon themselves, so naturally they would stay away from them!
Wu Yong bent over to clean up, his heart was filled with turmoil!
Damn, people may not necessarily look down upon working in a steel mill!

My cooking skills and my master's teachings are here for me, so why worry about anything?

He used his work to scare others, and he deserved to end up like this!

While He Yuzhu was cooking, Lou Zhenhua and his team had already finished discussing the order. Although it had not been finalized yet, the possibility of reaching a cooperation was still very high!

“Director Lou, such a large order must come from a well-established brand like Bada Lou, right?

You're really saving money by hosting us in your factory cafeteria!"

The leading merchant came from Shandong, and the two were acquaintances, so they spoke without reservation!

He looked at Lou Zhenhua stubbornly, as if to say, "You are very thrifty, I admire you!"

"Haha, Director Chen, it's not that I, Lou Zhenhua, can't afford the money, but it's also not the first day you've known me!
The chef in our factory is a disciple of a famous master, and his cooking is no simple matter!

Please try it first. If it doesn't suit your taste, I will host a banquet at Dongxing Tower tomorrow to make amends!"

Knowing this man's personality and temper, Lou Zhenhua joked without taking it seriously!

He believes in He Yuzhu's cooking skills, but he doesn't know how well he does Shandong cuisine and Northeastern cuisine!
For an ordinary person, one cuisine is already very good. He knows Wang Dana’s abilities, so it depends on how much Zhuzi has learned!
"Haha, we have colleagues from Northeast China, Shandong, and Shu, and they have different tastes and preferences!

Are you sure that the master chefs in your factory can satisfy us?

Even if you are a disciple of a famous chef, it is impossible for you to understand both Sichuan cuisine and Shandong cuisine, right?
I advise you to book a seat at Dongxinglou in advance!"

Director Chen shook his head disapprovingly. He knew that Beijing was home to many famous chefs of various cuisines and countless master cooks!

But if you tell him that the chef in your factory has this ability, he will never believe it!
This is all thanks to the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners descendants are best at eating, drinking and having fun!

Over the past two hundred years, these people have come up with new ways to eat, drink and have fun, and have formed their own system!
There are clear rules on what to eat and what to play throughout the year!
If you don’t understand these, you won’t even be able to get started, let alone get in touch with these people!

It is probably these Eight Banners descendants who can turn it into a system and form a profound culture!

Eating, drinking and having fun are inseparable, and eating is even more particular!

When eating pickles, they must be cut into thin strips of the same thickness and length;

Pancakes are not for eating, they are for wiping your mouth;

When eating mutton hotpot, you can tell what is added or missing from the condiments as soon as you take a bite.
If you haven't eaten this a thousand times, you really won't be able to taste it;

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the Eight Banners lost their iron-clad crops and became useless people who didn't know how to grow crops and were not diligent. Yet they were still picky about money!
It is a shameful thing to wipe your mouth with pig skin for the sake of face, to show that you have a good life and have eaten meat! There is no doubt that there are many famous chefs in Beijing because of these people!

When counting them down, the most representative one is the chef from the Eighth Floor!
But if you tell him that the factory canteen can hire a chef of this level, he won't believe it at all!
A talented chef can work as a second cook in a restaurant rather than being a chef in a factory!
Because there are few opportunities to work in the factory, it is inevitable that one will become unfamiliar with the job after a long time!

But the confident Lou Zhenhua still aroused his curiosity. He had also eaten and seen it before, and Boss Lou was very clear about this!
The fact that he dares to be so careful in such a situation shows that this chef might really have some skills!

Lou Zhenhua attaches great importance to orders and can make such arrangements. I guess there is something clever about it!
"Director Chen, if you haven't investigated, you have no right to speak. It's not that I'm being negligent. You'll know once you try it!"

Lou Zhenhua looked at Director Chen, who had a look of disbelief, and smiled slightly. He could understand even if he didn’t believe it!
He doesn’t know how He Yuzhu’s Shandong cuisine and Northeastern cuisine are, but Sichuan cuisine is absolutely amazing!
If Sichuan cuisine wasn’t just common people’s cuisine, Bada Lou would definitely have a place for it!
"Haha, I really want to see what's so special about your cafeteria's chef!"

Seeing that Lou Zhenhua still insisted, Director Chen agreed without hesitation!
It’s just a meal, not a big deal. He doesn’t want to have any unpleasantness with Lou Zhenhua because of this meal!

To be honest, regardless of whether the order is given to Lou Zhenhua or not, we cannot embarrass ourselves!

“You won’t be disappointed!”

Lou Zhenhua remained confident, which made Director Chen more and more curious!

"Okay, if your chef can satisfy us all, then we won't go to the Beijing factory and will make the deal directly with you!"

Director Chen shook his head and laughed. Since you are so confident, how about I give you a definite answer?
If you agree to something that is definitely impossible and you can get a favor, it's not a loss no matter how you look at it!

"Is this true?"

Lou Zhenhua looked at Director Chen in surprise. He didn't expect to have such a gain!

It will definitely be worth it if I invite He Yuzhu in person today!

"really!"

Director Chen nodded seriously. They were all businessmen, and businessmen could not survive without integrity!
What you say will naturally count, otherwise who will do business with you in the future?

"OK!"

Lou Zhenhua was overjoyed. Whether he could get the order today depended on He Yuzhu's performance!
He turned around and glanced at his secretary. Secretary Duan understood what he meant and left in a hurry!

Small dining room

"Director He, the factory manager asked me to tell you that whether this order can be successful depends on your craftsmanship!"

Secretary Duan hurried over, and when he saw He Yuzhu himself, he was a little nervous!

Only he knows how important this order is!
This may be the last order that Lou Zhenhua leads at the steel rolling mill, and it is also a gift to the higher-ups!

As long as this order is completed, the costs of the restructuring will no longer need to be allocated from above!
The restructuring of the steel mill can proceed smoothly without any investment from above, the leaders will definitely be happy!
Lou Zhenhua's contribution is greater, this is a win-win situation!
"Secretary Duan, is the factory order related to my cooking?"

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned. He noticed Secretary Duan's nervousness. That's why he was curious!
It's just a treat, there's no need to be like this, right? It made him nervous!

"Just now..."

Secretary Duan recounted what had just happened, then looked at He Yuzhu carefully, trying to catch some details from Chef He's expression so that he could provide timely rescue!

After completing this order, he will be able to work as the workshop manager!
This was the last thing Lou Zhenhua did for him, and it has been approved by Team Leader Yang!

He looked forward to this day coming every day. After the restructuring was completed, he would be able to perfectly transform from Lou Zhenhua's secretary to the director of a public workshop. What a gorgeous turn!
In this situation, is there anything better than being a public servant?

He is well aware of Lou Zhenhua's abilities. Since Lou Zhenhua can donate the factory, future development will most likely proceed according to the factory director's guess!

His family has been workers for generations. He received some education before liberation and was promoted to secretary because of his good performance!
No matter what, he is still an employee because he works in a factory and his status is a worker!
Becoming a workshop director is the beginning of his official career. Who wouldn’t want to be an official?
With the official-centered system in place for so many years, there is no one who doesn’t want to be an official. He will not refuse something that will make his ancestors’ graves smoke!

"No problem, please let the factory manager rest assured. I don't know anything else, but I know how to cook!"

He Yuzhu suddenly realized, and then looked at Secretary Duan confidently!
During this period, he has been receiving instruction from Liu Shandong at night, and has made great progress in both cooking and preparing ingredients!
Not to mention the secret recipe passed down to him by Liu Shandong, which is the unique skill of a generation of imperial chefs!

It would be useless if the chef trained in the Kitchen God Space couldn't even convince these people!

A strict teacher produces good students. If you don’t have some skills, it’s impossible to get Liu Shandong’s recognition!
I don’t know what magical power this space has. Liu Shandong can only come in to teach at night. Moreover, this person is not an APC, but a living person!
Once the professor completes his studies, Liu Shandong himself will also benefit, and it won’t even affect his life in that world!
This was said by Liu Shandong himself, and it seems to be true!

"Okay, as long as you have an idea in mind, they are already here, you can serve the food!"

"Aunt Liu, serve the food!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand, and the dishes came out of the pot one after another. Aunt Liu and Lao Ma were put into the pot one after another!
He Yuzhu thought about it and in order to deepen the impression, he prepared a pot of fish called Dana Pickled Fish!
He has named this dish Wang Dana, and he had already made it when he was getting married. In any case, it is for the purpose of enriching the Chinese food culture!
