Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 7 Reception Dinner

Liu Lan was able to become Deputy Director Li's lover. Her looks were acceptable, but more importantly, she was smart. This was also the reason why Deputy Director Li chose this woman as his lover.

During these days in the kitchen, Liu Lan felt the changes in He Yuzhu the most deeply.

Before, He Yuzhu was a complete scoundrel. In the kitchen, he did whatever he wanted. If anyone dared to say something to him, he would definitely fight with that person to the end, so many people were resentful of that idiot Zhu.

However, since this guy's craftsmanship is really good, Sha Zhu was not excluded. But when there is something going on or something beneficial, no one will definitely consider Sha Zhu.

But in just these few short months, Liu Lan discovered that He Yuzhu in front of her seemed to have changed 360 degrees.

His previous rude and unreasonable character disappeared, replaced by a generous and tolerant attitude, and he was very polite in his speech and never argued with others. Not to mention his cooking skills, which won the recognition of the factory leaders.

Therefore, the factory leaders have been giving rave reviews to He Yuzhu recently. Even when she was playing games with Deputy Director Li, she was told not to have any conflicts with He Yuzhu in the future. Obviously, the information received from Deputy Director Li was more accurate.

In other words, He Yuzhu is now completely different from before, and has become a figure of certain weight among the factory leaders.

Liu Lan is not a fool. These changes in He Yuzhu are actually good things for those working in the kitchen. In addition, with the instructions from Deputy Director Li, she will not have any conflicts with He Yuzhu.

After seeing He Yuzhu arrive, Liu Lan smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "Master He, you are here."

"Well, is everything almost cleaned up?"

He Yuzhu nodded at Liu Lan. He didn't care what was going on between this woman and Deputy Director Li. All he cared about was completing his own job. As for other bullshit, as long as it didn't affect him, he didn't bother to care.

Liu Lan nodded: "Well, I've done all the sanitation and everything else. I also went to the warehouse to check the ingredients this morning."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu didn't say anything. He walked around the kitchen again, including the warehouse next to it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he looked at Liu Lan.

"Okay, there's no problem here for now. Go find the director and ask if there's any work for today."

Liu Lan knew that He Yuzhu was asking about hospitality. Now that He Yuzhu had become the master chef in the factory, if there was a need for hospitality meals or a special meal, the director would have the news. So she nodded and went to ask the canteen director.

But before Liu Lan could leave the kitchen, the curtain at the back door was lifted and several figures walked in.

He Yuzhu looked carefully and found that the person coming was the canteen director Cai Youle.

"Director, look, I was just about to ask you about work." Liu Lan was slightly stunned when she saw this.

"Okay, stop asking. I came here specifically to inform you." Although he said this, Cai Youle looked at He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, there is an important dinner at noon today. Our Director Lou is going to welcome a group of leaders from our brother units. This is a special order from the Director. Can you do it?"

Director Lou, Lou Xiao'e's father, was previously known as Lou Bancheng, Lou Zhenhua.

After the public-private partnership, enterprises of all sizes were merged, and the original business owners and capitalists either sold the factories or merged their shares, holding shares in proportion to the public and private sectors. As the former mayor of Loubancheng, Lou Zhenhua certainly was reluctant to see such a large steel mill being taken over directly, so the shareholding system is still adopted, and he, Lou Zhenhua, is the largest shareholder of the steel mill.

However, it wasn't long before, with the comprehensive public-private partnership, he could no longer be a shareholder.

Of course, these are all later stories. At least, in the current steel mill, the words of the factory director Lou Zhenhua are still effective. "Director, we can certainly provide a reception, but you also know the situation in our canteen warehouse. You can't use potatoes and carrots to entertain the leaders, right?"

Cai Youle was obviously well prepared for this, and he directly took out a list: "Six pounds of pork, two fish, 10 pounds of white flour..."

When He Yuzhu saw the ingredients on the list, he couldn't help but smack his lips. In such a difficult period, who would have thought that the leaders' meal would be so delicious?
However, He Yuzhu did not say much. With the food, it would be easy to deal with: "Director, that's fine. Just prepare the supplies for me, and you can rest assured about the rest."

"Okay, Zhuzi, then I'll leave this dinner to you. I'll send someone to bring the ingredients to you in a bit." Cai Youle did not doubt He Yuzhu's words. This was the trust that He Yuzhu had won with his own strength over the past few months.

……

"Okay, guys, today is the factory director's reception. Let's finish the big pot of food first, and then we'll prepare a good meal..."

After Cai Youle left, He Yuzhu took care of the work in the kitchen, and everyone soon became busy.

After a while, someone brought a bunch of food.

He Yuzhu took a quick look and found that there was no difference from what was on the list, so he asked his apprentice Ma Hua to take a few waiters to prepare the ingredients.

"A wild rooster, wild mushrooms, a three-pound fish, and this pork belly..."

He Yuzhu counted the ingredients for today in his mind and began to think about what dishes to make. But soon, he had an idea in his mind.

After all, there was plenty of food and he had a lot to choose from.

There are four meat dishes, six vegetarian dishes and two soups in total.

Having decided on the recipe in his mind, He Yuzhu did not hesitate any longer and directly heated the oil in the pan to start cooking the first dish.

……

About two hours later.

In the kitchen of a cafeteria, the rich aroma of stewed chicken with mushrooms made the guys who were busy in the kitchen swallow their saliva.

At this time, He Yuzhu dipped his chopsticks into the casserole and tasted it. This was not the cook stealing. How could a cook's work be called stealing? Shouldn't you taste the food before cooking? If you don't even taste it, it will definitely not taste good!

"Mm, not bad, it's almost done, mahua, take it out of the pot."

The people on the side watched He Yuzhu's actions and drooled, but no one could say anything wrong.

After hearing what the chef said, Ma Hua stepped forward sensibly and helped to fill the casserole.

At this moment, footsteps were heard again from the back door of the kitchen.
