Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life
Chapter 8 Full of Praise
Chapter 8 Full of Praise
"Zhuzi, your cooking skills are incredible! I am drooling just from the smell from afar!" Director Cai Youle's voice was heard before the person arrived. When the curtain was opened, Director Cai walked into the kitchen with a happy expression, and his eyes were fixed on the dishes on the stove in the kitchen!
Cai Youle originally came to see how the dishes were being prepared in the kitchen. The meeting between Director Lou and Director Yang was almost over and it was almost time for dinner. However, when he saw the mouth-watering dishes on the stove, he almost forgot the purpose of his visit.
It's no wonder he reacted this way. On the stove at this moment were ingredients that He Yuzhu had carefully cooked with his master-level cooking skills. Chicken stewed with mushrooms, fish in sour soup, Dongpo pork, Mapo tofu... This array of dishes, even in a big restaurant in the city that serves guests, might not be able to offer such a good selection!
At this time, Cai Youle was completely impressed by Zhuzi's cooking skills. He finally understood why the factory leader had asked him to ask Comrade He Yuzhu if he could accept the meal. If he could not, he would consider asking other chefs to take over.
While Cai Youle was thinking, He Yuzhu saw him coming and knew that the dishes were about to be served. So he took the initiative to greet him, "Director Cai, look at what you said. A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without these ingredients from the factory, I can only stare blankly, right?"
"That's not the case. Ingredients are ingredients, and good ingredients can only be useful in the hands of a good chef, right? Now that you've almost done it, you can just prepare it and serve." It seemed that Zhuzi's cooking skills made Director Cai pay more attention to He Yuzhu. He also took the initiative to talk to Zhuzi, and his words also showed his recognition of Zhuzi.
He Yuzhu was not overwhelmed by these hidden meanings. He just nodded and said, "Okay, there are three more vegetarian dishes here. I'll arrange for someone to send up the meat dishes first."
A few vegetarian dishes don't require much effort and can be cooked in the interval between servings. After giving the notice, Cai Youle did not stay and left in a hurry, apparently to arrange tasks for other canteens.
He Yuzhu also asked his apprentice Ma Hua to take the lead in delivering the banquet meals to the private room where the leaders were eating. During the meal, he specifically reminded them: "Don't be greedy at this time. Don't steal the food that the leaders are eating."
Hearing this, Ma Hua chuckled. He did have this idea, but after the master said this, he naturally wouldn't do it. However, the aroma of the fish meat made this kid feel as if he was being scratched by a cat!
Although they, the kitchen staff, could eat some leftovers, Ma Hua had been following the chef for such a long time and had already realized that it was a strange thing to have leftovers from a banquet cooked by the chef himself!
Liu Lan followed closely behind, holding the dishes in her hands, and became more and more determined not to have any conflict with Master He.
As for the conversation between He Yuzhu and Director Cai just now, if it had happened a few months ago, Liu Lan would never have believed that such humble and emotionally intelligent words would come out of He Yuzhu's mouth.
Now, He Yuzhu no longer has the bad habit of being careless, and his cooking skills are so good that his future in the factory is obvious. Liu Lan not only does not want to offend He Yuzhu, but is even considering how to get closer to Master He.
After all, in the canteen kitchen, apart from the director, He Yuzhu is basically the only one who has the final say. If she can maintain a good relationship with him and get some leftovers from him, that would make her life a lot easier.
……
noon.
In a private room of the steel mill, six or seven middle-aged men in black civilian uniforms sat at a table. The food on the table was originally sent from the canteen. After a round of toasts, the food on the table had already been finished.
Obviously, this group of people was headed by Director Lou and Director Yang, who were entertaining leaders from brother units.
Normally, at a reception for leaders, when the food on the table was completely eaten up, there would be some jokes at the table. However, at the dinner table today, the topic everyone was talking about was not like that at all.
"Old Yang, what you did was not fair!"
A fat man with a slightly wide body and a round face patted the man next to him on the shoulder and said, "As for this Dongpo pork and sour soup fish, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I've never tasted such delicious food in my life!"
The person who was patted on the shoulder by the fat man was Yang Xinmin, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant. And the fat man was Li Yongxin, the director of the Meat Processing Plant. His words just now did not make the leaders present laugh, but instead resonated with them.
"Old Li, although you usually talk nonsense, what you said today is true. Let alone you, I have also eaten and seen it. Have you heard of Chef Qin from Dafengju in Qianmenlouzi? He is an expert in Sichuan cuisine, and Mapo Tofu is his specialty. Guess what happened? As for this plate of Mapo Tofu today, even if I were Chef Qin, I would have to say that the Mapo Tofu from Dafengju is not as good as this one!"
"Of course, even these shredded potatoes are much better than what I ate before..."
Once the conversation started, they couldn't stop talking. The leaders at the table were full of praise for the food. Apart from other things, they usually have to drink a cup of wine at a meal, but today they only drank one of the three bottles of Xifeng wine prepared, and the remaining two bottles were left there unopened. Everyone was attracted by the food on the table and forgot to drink.
As the director of the rolling mill, Yang Xinmin couldn't help but blush as he listened to the praises from his old acquaintances from the brother units. "Lao Lou, I remember that this dish was made by Comrade He Yuzhu from the canteen, right? It seems that our factory has produced a talent."
In the past few months, He Yuzhu's reputation has spread widely among the leadership of the steel rolling mill, and Yang Xinmin was also deeply impressed. After today's incident, He Yuzhu's impression in Yang Xinmin's mind has naturally been raised to a higher level.
At this time, Lou Zhenhua did not comment on Yang Xinmin's words. You know, he was previously known as Lou Bancheng, and what he had seen and eaten was definitely better than those public leaders present. Even so, the taste on the table just now still made him linger.
At this moment, Li Yongxin took advantage of the situation, and suddenly with a mysterious look on his face, he put his hand on Yang Xinmin's shoulder and said, "Old Yang, how about this, let me discuss something with you..."
