Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 271: Allusion, the steel mill is pretty good

Several old men looked at the dishes being served and couldn't help but admire them. The dishes were exquisite in color, aroma and taste, and the dishes served were indeed cooked to perfection!

“Come on, old fellows, the chef is a little younger, and it is said that his skills are very good, and he has been recognized by Xiao Li;
Let’s try it and see if it is as unique as the legend says! ”

Old Song greeted several old comrades with a smile. They were not only old comrades, but also fellow countrymen. They were from Sichuan and knew a lot about Sichuan cuisine!
"Jiangyou Pig Intestine? Hahaha, I haven't eaten it in years. Let me try it!"

Among them, a white-haired old man's eyes lit up when he saw Jiangyou pig intestines, which was his hometown dish;

It would be even better if there was a bowl of rice noodles. After being away from home for many years, seeing the hometown food again, what I eat is not the food, but the feelings!

Everyone laughed and picked up a piece of their favorite dish to taste. Soon, the dish received rave reviews.

When Song Qianwen saw this scene, a strong sense of frustration swept over her body. Don't judge a person by his appearance. He was too reckless.
She had a strong feeling that she would lose this time. Although these people were not gourmets, they all had their own experience with Sichuan cuisine.
At least, people like Master Chen would not take it seriously. Looking at the situation on the scene, He Yuzhu's cooking skills have conquered them!
"Xiao Li, let's go there ourselves and invite Master He over!"

Old Song looked at Li Huaide who was about to pour the wine and laughed. This time it was really well done.
It was just right for her to take a look at what kind of person He Yuzhu was, who made her daughter feel so frustrated that she had no place to vent. She wouldn't be able to take care of him when they started drinking!

"Yes, father-in-law!"

Li Huaide, who was good at observing his father-in-law's expressions, knew that his father-in-law was very satisfied. This time his efforts were not in vain. He was grateful to He Yuzhu in the kitchen.
Even if the remaining boiled cabbage is not quite cooked to perfection, it doesn’t matter. Overall, it was a successful banquet!
After a while, He Yuzhu was invited to the restaurant by Li Huaide. He looked around but didn't see the big boss.

It seems that from this time on, the boss and Li Huaide's father-in-law were not getting along well!
"Master Xiao He, I have heard of you for a long time. I didn't expect that you have such accomplishments in Sichuan cuisine at such a young age. It's really rare!"

Old Song looked at He Yuzhu in surprise. He had heard that he was very young, but he had not expected him to be so young.
What I didn’t expect was that under his simple and honest appearance, he actually had a tough character!

"Boss, you're too polite. My father is a cook, and I've been in the kitchen since I was seven years old. If you count the time I spent learning the craft, it's been quite a while!"

He Yuzhu remained calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing, which amazed everyone present.
This young man has something. Even the younger generation in his family can’t do this, right?

“I see, that also shows that you are gifted, young man, don’t be too modest;
Your chicken tofu pudding is very good. Do you know where it comes from? "

Old Song shook his head and smiled. This kid is not bad, but unfortunately he lacks a sense of awe. He likes young people with a sense of awe, otherwise it is difficult to control them.
He can know people and assign them to the right positions, provided they are obedient. Can he only admire and recruit young people who are unruly and capable? That's not even close!
“It is said that the dish of chicken tofu pudding is related to Li Chengqian, the deposed crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Li Chengqian was exiled to Yushan in Qianzhou after being deposed.
In order to get him to eat, his personal maid Kexin used local hen breasts, removed the tendons, chopped them up, and dissolved them in starch water. After mixing them with egg white, she put them into the boiled chicken soup and cooked them. She made a delicacy that looked like tofu pudding.

Li Chengqian praised it highly after tasting it, and the dish has been passed down since then. Chicken tofu pudding is a traditional famous dish in Sichuan cuisine.

It is famous for its unique technique of "eating chicken without seeing the chicken" and its light and mellow taste, which embodies the superb skills of Sichuan cuisine of "using meat to support vegetables"!

This was taught to him by Liu Shandong. Liu Shandong not only taught him how to cook, but also told him many anecdotes.
As a cook, he was also very interested and wrote it down. This question was not difficult for him!

"Haha... Lao Song, this cook is pretty good. Not only are the dishes delicious, but he also knows allusions.

My hometown is Jiangyou. Can you tell me about Jiangyou pig intestines? Where does this dish come from?

The first person to pick up his chopsticks looked to be in his fifties, very energetic, with a loud voice. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit with his buttons even unbuttoned, which showed that he had a very tough style, or was a bit dull!

"It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei wanted to execute Jiang Wan for drinking alcohol, but Zhuge Liang pleaded for him and pardoned him.

Jiang Wan wanted to quit drinking but it was difficult for him to do so. Jiang Youshu suggested that he cook pig intestines and drink with them, because it can strengthen the spleen, moisten the intestines, and sober up.
Jiang Wan was overjoyed and gave him a generous reward, saying that the people of Shu loved the aroma of sesame, and that the cooked pig intestines were especially good. After careful preparation, Jiangyou pig intestines became famous all over the world.
There is another saying that when Li Bai was studying in Kuangshan, Qinglian Town, Jiangyou, he smelled a strange fragrance, which turned out to be braised pork intestines made by an old woman;
Li Bai wanted to eat it, so the old woman asked him to compose a poem. After tasting it, Li Bai immediately recited the poem: "Li Bai was studying on Kuangshan Mountain, when suddenly a smell of fat intestines came out. The study platform was thousands of feet high, but it was not as good as the fat intestines brought by the old woman;"

Leader, I am not very knowledgeable and have only heard these two passages. Please criticize and correct me if I am wrong! "

He Yuzhu bowed modestly. Actually, there was another part that he did not say. If this person was from Jiangyou, he would have probably heard of it.

Not saying everything at once and letting the leader supplement it also shows your consideration. You can't say it all and leave the leader no room to speak, right?

“Haha… The young master is right, but the current Jiangyou is very different from Jiang Wan’s pig intestines;
There are many mountains in the north of Jiangyou, and villagers do heavy physical labor. To replenish their energy, they buy cheap pig intestines and other offal for processing.
Because of its spicy taste and the ability to resist the cold and damp air in the mountains, it gradually became a local specialty. After continuous improvement and inheritance, it became a delicacy famous both inside and outside Sichuan!
In fact, the emergence and development of many Sichuan dishes have a lot to do with the local climate and living habits;
Of course, for the sake of popularity, they will definitely be associated with celebrities, but in fact, the most basic Sichuan cuisine was perfected step by step by ordinary people! "

The old man looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, his eyes full of admiration. He liked people who could do and speak!
"What the leader said is true. I have learned my lesson!"

He Yuzhu half bowed respectfully to show that he had learned it!
"Where does the young master work?"

The more Director Jia looked at it, the more he liked it. Many people in their team liked Sichuan cuisine, so it seemed like he could give it a try. If he could get it back, wouldn't he be able to eat delicious hometown food every day?
"Leader, Red Star Steel Rolling Mill needs a new canteen director!"

He Yuzhu was stunned. Did he want to recruit him? There was no need for that, right?
"Do you want to come to my supply and marketing cooperative? Just come and do some special work. It's not that much work!"

Director Jia looked at He Yuzhu with a smile. He didn’t know if it was because of their affinity, but he liked the young man very much!

Li Huaide opened his eyes wide. The Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the money made there was so abundant that it was astonishing. In today's time of material shortage, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was a good and legitimate unit!
"Thank you for your appreciation, my wife works at the steel mill, my sister still has to go to school, and I don't have any elders to take care of me at home. I'm sorry!"

He Yuzhu curled his lips secretly. The supply and marketing cooperative was a good place, but that was all. He was just a cook and he had to cook wherever he went.
As a reborn person, he knew the horror of the special period and was very familiar with the future of the steel mill. Why should he go to the unknown unit of the supply and marketing cooperative?

"Haha, everyone has their own aspirations. It shouldn't be a big problem if you can come home and cook for me when you have time in the future?" The leader was not disappointed, but rather a little appreciative. The supply and marketing cooperative was much better than the steel mill. The other party refused without hesitation, so he must have his own ideas.
As for his family, he thought it was an excuse. How could a real man in the world be a burden to his family?
"Just contact Brother Li. He knows how to find me. Unless there's something special, he'll be there whenever you call!"

The old man was far away from him, so who knew if he was just saying it casually? Wouldn't it be better to leave this favor to Li Huaide?

It is better for the county magistrate to be in charge now. He feels that Li Huaide’s kindness is more important. Of course, if he really asks him to cook, he can establish a relationship with him after a few times. There is no need to rush!
Of course, there was no toasting session here, which shows that in the mind of Li Huaide's father-in-law, he is just a cook and there is nothing special about him!

"Zhu Zi, I appreciate your kindness. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. Don't be polite!"

After leaving the living room, Li Huaide looked at He Yuzhu with a smile on his face. This time he gained a lot;

There were four guests in total, three of whom wanted to invite He Yuzhu to cook, so he became the matchmaker;

As for whether he can connect with these people, it all depends on his own ability;
But it cannot be denied that He Yuzhu created this condition, otherwise these big guys would not take him seriously, even if he was the son-in-law of the Song family;
To put it bluntly, I am not qualified enough. Maybe I need to wait until I become a department-level leader before I will be qualified to talk to these people. Of course, it is just talking!

"Thank you? Brother Li, you are too polite. You were the one who asked me to come here today. Now you are the only one who knows my contact information. If they want me to cook, they will naturally look for me.

Besides, if I cook for them, they won't let me go home empty-handed, right? You get friendship, I get benefits, it's a win-win situation for both of us!"

It is reasonable to get paid for your own labor, even if there is nothing to worry about in the future. All kinds of controls are about materials, not skills.

Of course, if someone gives you money, you definitely can't use the money to go to the black market or buy things from others. The nature of the matter is different!

Li Huaide smiled slightly. This favor must have been owed. This kid probably didn't know how big a favor this was.
Then he burst out laughing again. The two of them had different pursuits. In his eyes, it was a great favor, but in He Yuzhu's eyes, it might not be the same.

He is not interested in this, otherwise, how could he not agree when the deputy director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative personally invited him?
After the boiled cabbage was served, He Yuzhu began to pack up and prepare to go home;
He knew his level. It was impossible for these people to be dissatisfied. It was already afternoon. If he didn't reply, he would have wasted the whole day!
"Zhu Zi, are you going back now? Aren't you going to wait for the result of boiling water cabbage?"

Li Huaide came back after serving the dishes and was ready to give the reward. Seeing that the boy had already packed up, he looked at He Yuzhu in confusion!
“Brother Li, tell my sister-in-law that my sister will depend on her from now on. If her grades drop, it’s because she didn’t keep her word;
As for the result? Haha... You don’t have to wait to know the result! "

He Yuzhu waved his hands casually, looking very confident. Li Huaide thought to himself, this kid has an unusual confidence when talking about cooking skills. No wonder he likes to cook!
This time, Li Huaide asked the driver to take He Yuzhu back, and he did not see him off in person. When He Yuzhu left, he received a stack of money, all in 50,000 yuan, not too old or too small.

Li Huaide also gave him a pack of cigarettes and a pig's hind leg, which was already pretty good. If he made this dish a few more times, he would become rich.
Li Huaide is indeed a capable guy, and he is generous in his efforts. His intention to win him over is self-evident;

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu who had returned, his eyes wide open, the sight of the pig's head leg made his eyes sparkle;

Wow, is this how a chef is treated? A car picks you up, you go out to cook a meal, and you come back with a pig's head and leg. Awesome!
He understood the idea of ​​letting his son learn cooking, but unfortunately it was just a thought. In his heart, everything else was inferior except studying!

"Zhu Zi, you are awesome. You can cook a meal and get two months' worth of meat. I am so envious!"

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu eagerly. Whoever sees it gets a share. With so many things, shouldn’t he share some of it?

"Uncle, please stop looking at this. This is the result of my hard work. Qiuyue is heavy and needs nutrition from the rain. I don't think this will last more than two months!"

This is something you earned through your own labor, so don't even think about it, you old wall lamp. Just stay where it's cool!

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Look, it's not one cent less!"

Yan Bugui reluctantly withdrew his gaze. With so many people in the compound, this kid was the only one who couldn't take advantage of him!

After He Yuzhu returned home, he took inventory of the goods and gave him 300,000 yuan. Together with the pig's hind leg, Qiuyue's eyes widened. Making a meal cost almost a month's salary!
"Brother Zhuzi, are you so generous?"

"Hehe, wife, you never could have guessed who the other person was. It's no coincidence!"

He Yuzhu looked at Qiuyue mysteriously, as if to ask you something, which made Qiuyue roll her eyes!

"Then please tell us, Director He, who is the other party? Why did you, who are usually calm, act like this?"

"Hey, Li Huaide's wife turned out to be Yu Shui's teacher Song Qianwen. When I got there..."

He Yuzhu recounted the situation of the Song family in detail, including the twists and turns of the conflicts. Qiu Ye listened to it as if she was a story, and thought to herself, Sister Song, aren't you a little too narrow-minded?
"Yushui, remember, go to Teacher Song's dormitory to rest at noon. If you don't know how to do something, just ask her. If you are hungry, ask her for food. Don't be polite at all. This is what I won back from you, your brother!"

He Yuzhu looked at his sister next to him, waved his hand and told her all his thoughts, as if he was asking Song Qianwen when he was in doubt!
"Brother, I don't dare!"

Yu Shui looked at He Yuzhu timidly. Students have a natural fear of teachers. Why would she take the initiative to find Teacher Song? It's incredible to think about it. She can't even hide from him!
"Why not? She will be your sister from now on. If you have any problems, come to her. There's nothing wrong with that!"

Qiuyue looked at He Yuzhu with amusement. Sister Song must have suffered a lot now. Yu Shui has been shaken by Brother Zhuzi's instigation!
