"Brother, what are you looking at?" Liu Zi took a closer look at the content of the book and found that it was a recipe book. He immediately lost interest, "Brother, what's so interesting about this."
Wang Lidong wondered if it was just to fool you, and I don’t want to watch such boring things. “Live and learn. Your master, I don’t want to be called Fat Chang Liu all my life.”
"Isn't Fat Sausage Liu very nice?" Liu Zi whispered, "Brother, does it mean that Master's Wife doesn't like your nickname? That's not right... When you chased her, you gave her Fat Sausages every day. Didn't you say that Master's Wife is pretty?
I like the sausage you made."
"Are you bothered?" Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "You guys need to be more mature. You have been working in the kitchen for five or six years, and you can't even cut a potato shred. If you continue to work like this, you will have trouble in the future.
You deserve it the hard way."
"Brother, you taught me my knife skills. A while ago, you even praised me for being better than the old master. In addition to braised pork sausage, I have also learned a lot of your skills."
Wang Lidong thought about it for a moment, and it was true that although this boy was not very popular, he had a sharp mind and learned things quickly. Liu Hongchang only had two knives, and his apprentice had already taken away all his work. He put down his hand.
He looked at Liuzi and said, "Oh, from your tone, do you want to learn how to marinate fat intestines?"
Liuzi's eyes lit up, he came closer and said, "Master, are you willing to teach me?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "You are my apprentice. If you want to learn, I will definitely teach you? But..."
Liuzi asked anxiously, "But what?"
Wang Lidong said, "The premise is that you cut the potatoes into shreds for me first."
"Master, I'm pretty good at cutting right now..." Liu Zi raised his little finger and pinched a tiny bit of his fingertips and said, "It's just a little bit behind you, Master."
Wang Lidong sneered and said, "I didn't show my real skills. I really thought your master and I were only at this level."
At this time, Su Hou, who was standing not far away, shouted, "Hong Chang, then show me your real skills and show the six sons."
The others didn't think it was a big deal, and they all got angry and said, "Master Liu, cut one."
"Master Liu, Liu Zi is going crazy lately. He keeps saying that his skills are as good as yours..."
Liuzi hurriedly explained that he had never said this.
"Okay, let me show you what cutting potatoes into shreds means." Wang Lidong got up and went to the kitchen, found two potatoes, picked up his kitchen knife, and swished the two potatoes with a few cuts, and the two potatoes became smooth* and clean*
Take a walk.
This hand made all the colleagues' eyes widen when they saw it. Liu Zi stepped forward and picked up two potatoes, looked at them twice, and exclaimed, "Master, how did you peel them?"
Ignoring him, Wang Lidong took two potatoes and cut them into shreds. In order not to shock the world, he deliberately slowed down, but it was a bit outrageous among the crowd.
After about ten breaths, he finished cutting the two potatoes and put the shredded potatoes into the basin. "Liuzi, if you cut the potatoes like this one day, I will teach you how to make braised pork sausage."
Liu Zi looked at the potato shreds as thin as hair and said with a grimace, "Master, this... Braised pork sausage has nothing to do with cutting potato shreds, right?"
"These are my rules, you can see for yourself."
All the colleagues in the kitchen immediately gathered around. Su Hou picked up a handful of potato shreds and saw that each potato shred was as thick as a human hair. The root thickness was even and the length was the same. There was no streaking. He couldn't help but say "I'm sorry"
He asked, "Hong Chang, do you practice secretly at home every day?"
"Master Liu, teach me how to cut these shredded potatoes..."
There is nothing to explain to these people.
Wang Lidong put his hands behind his back and slowly returned to the attic. He lay down on the pile of food and continued to read through the recipes.
Seeing the bitter look on Liu Zi's face, an apprentice said enviously, "Liu Zi, if you don't like it, let's change it?"
"Liu Zi, I want to tell you something." Apprentice Zhang Liben pulled Liu Zi aside, "Liu Zi, if you have a chance, help me ask Master Liu if he will accept an apprentice?"
...
The second cafeteria is not big. The lobby, kitchen and office combined are only more than 700 square meters. The employees are all in their early thirties. The noise in the kitchen spread throughout the entire unit in a blink of an eye.
Director Yao thought it was a joke at first, as he was a very knowledgeable junior fellow. When he rushed to the kitchen and looked at the shredded potatoes in the basin, he was shocked and immediately called Wang Lidong and asked him to cut two potatoes.
If he were to change his predecessor, Director Yao would definitely not be the same person, but Wang Lidong was not that naive and immediately got out of the kitchen and performed another shredded potato show.
Director Yao took a few freshly baked potato shreds...even in thickness, each root as thin as a hair...He put down the potato shreds and looked Wang Lidong up and down...Yes,
If it were his junior brother, "Hong Chang, when did your knife skills become so good?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Director, I have been working as a cook for almost ten years. I can cut potatoes for not less than 100,000, but maybe 80,000. I have already mastered it."
"Then why do you usually hide and tuck me?"
"No matter how well the food is cut and how delicious the food is cooked, we are just a canteen, not a five-star hotel."
"Then why don't you hide it now?"
Wang Lidong glanced at the colleagues around him and gave his senior brother a look. Director Yao understood and did not ask further about the matter, "Hong Chang, stir-fry a plate of shredded potatoes and show your true skills."
"Okay... Okay." Wang Lidong put on his chef's hat, washed his hands, boiled water, and blanch the shredded potatoes. When he saw him pouring some white vinegar into the pot, Liu Zi on the side asked, "Master, why do you put white vinegar?"
"Increases crisp texture."
"Master, did you research this yourself?"
"Um."
He drained the blanched shredded potatoes and started to heat the pot... "Master, the iron pot is already red."
"Shut up."
Pour in cold oil, shake the pot to make the oil evenly spread in the pot, pour out and re- pour in new cold oil, add chili, green onions and other ingredients, "Hey," pour in shredded potatoes, stir-fry a few times,
Take out of the pot.
"Taste it."
Smelling the alluring aroma, everyone was ready to move. Director Yao took the lead, picked up a quick bite and chewed it twice. The texture was crisp, the taste was rich...it was delicious.
Then he asked him to fry a portion of Xianggu pork slices and chopped green onions and eggs. The taste was not inferior to that of the Provincial City Hotel. "Hong Chang, follow me to the office."
The two returned to the office. Director Yao took out a cigarette and lit one, "Why didn't you sign up for our city's cooking competition last year? With your level, you will definitely be in the top three. The city's guest house and Ningguo City's hotel will definitely compete for it.
Call you over."
Wang Lidong picked up the cigarettes on the table and lit one. Director Yao asked in surprise, "When did you learn to smoke?"
"Just recently." Wang Lidong took a breath, "Senior brother, you can only bear my bad temper. If I really want to go somewhere else, I will be sent back soon. How embarrassing it will be!
"
Director Yao snorted coldly, "You also know that you have a bad temper. If you weren't my junior brother, I would have fired you long ago. Tell me, what's going on?"
Wang Lidong said helplessly, "Lack of money! I used to spend my salary alone, but there was still something left over every month.
Now there are six people in the family, and they all rely on me to support them. No, it's not even the end of the month, and I only have 5 yuan and 2 left in my salary.
In two days, I have to go to the hospital to prepare medicine for my mother-in-law, and it costs about ten yuan. So I thought about helping others make dinner after get off work to supplement the family income."
Director Yao suddenly realized that he didn't have enough money to spend. He pointed at him and said, "How did your mother persuade you before getting married? She told you that this family is a bottomless pit, but you refused to listen. You must regret it now."
Wang Lidong smiled bitterly and said, "The evidence is gone, but it's hard to get through. Senior brother, if anyone wants to hold a banquet, please remember to let me know."
Director Yao nodded, "Okay. With your skills, as long as you are willing to do it, you will be hired every day. By the way, what's the price?"
Wang Lidong knocked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Ten yuan a table."
"Ten yuan per table?" Director Yao frowned and said, "Su Hou and the others cook a table for only five yuan, and there are several tables. The price you are asking is too expensive."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Brother, you get what you pay for. My craftsmanship is worth the price."
Just now, he controlled his cooking skills to the level of LV2, which is level 5 or 6. Ningzhou is a small town in the west, and good cooks are rare. Things are rare and expensive. If you want to go to the capital, it costs five yuan a day.
A table.
Director Yao thought for a moment, and the junior brother was right, the taste is really worth the price, "Can you cook any dish?"
Wang Lidong pointed to the bookshelf, "There are recipes and 8 major cuisines, so you can learn from them at the last minute."
Director Yao nodded, and then said that he would be in charge of the meat dishes in the cafeteria from now on, which meant that he was indirectly appointed as the first chef in the kitchen. He agreed without any politeness.
When Director Yao took him back to the kitchen and announced the news, no one objected. Although the original number one chef, Master Qin, was a little unhappy, the difference in their cooking skills was really big.
.
"Hong Chang, from now on our employees will have to work hard for you."
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "No problem, two meals at noon and evening, as long as I go to work, it's all covered."
Director Yao didn't expect his junior brother to be so cheerful. He must not have been so easy to talk to before... Although the junior brother fell in love with a family of vampires, there are also advantages, that is, he has matured a lot.
It can be considered as a gain and a loss.
At 11 o'clock at noon, the second cafeteria opened for business. Some old diners were surprised to find that several large meat dishes tasted much better than before. "Waiter, is there a new chef in your cafeteria?"
The waiter smiled and said, "We have a new chef. Is the taste good?"
"Okay, the taste is not inferior to that of Ningguo Hotel..."
"What our chef is best at is not cooking, but his knife skills."
"Knife skills?!"
"The shredded potatoes are cut like hair..." It happened that the table next to her ordered some shredded potatoes braised in vinegar. She pointed to the next table. The two diners stood up and looked at them, surprised, "So thin? Give it to us.
Let’s also have a plate of shredded potatoes braised in vinegar..."
The tables next door saw this and all ordered a portion. After eating, the guests at several tables gave thumbs up. The knife skills...are amazing!
"A serving of vinegar-stewed shredded potatoes..."
Wang Lidong had just cut up a portion of shredded potatoes and came over with another portion.
mmp, already twenty-five copies.
Although he now has LV2's Vajra Indestructible Body Skill, anyone who cuts dozens of potatoes will get tired of it. He goes to the food delivery window and shouts to the service desk, "There are no more potatoes. Stop selling potato shreds."
When the business ended at noon, Wang Lidong told the service desk that from now on, he would only provide ten portions of shredded potatoes for each meal, no more.
...
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Lidong took off his work clothes, said hello to his colleagues, and then rode out of the unit.
More than twenty minutes later, I pushed the cart into No. 6 Xinmin Lane, the hometown of this body.
"Dalanzi, Dalanzi."
When Liu's mother heard her youngest son's voice, her face lit up, she put down the bowl in her hand and was about to go out.
The eldest brother Liu Yunchang said, "Mom, eat. Leave him alone. He must have come to you to ask for money again." After more than three months of marriage, my younger brother didn't speak except when delivering New Year's goods during the New Year. At other times, he came home just to ask for money.
"Shut up. It's rare for Hong Chang to come back. Don't say anything unhappy later." Mother Liu warned her eldest son a few words and then came to the yard.
Wang Lidong parked the car and took off the nylon net bag hanging on the faucet, "Mom, your favorite peach cakes and canned oranges."
Mother Liu happily took the bag, but complained, "I'm back right now. What else did I buy? Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
The eldest brother Liu Yunchang saw his mother entering the house with her net bag, and snorted coldly, "Hey, she also brought a gift. It seems that she can't spend two or three hundred this time."
Sister-in-law Yingzi quietly pulled her husband's clothes. Mother Liu glared at her eldest son fiercely, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Brother, sister-in-law. I just came back today to see mom and you two. I have no intention of borrowing money."
"That's nice to say."
"When have I ever lied to you?"
The eldest brother Liu Yunchang thought for a moment. Although his younger brother was a bastard, he had not deceived his own family yet. He asked in surprise, "Then why are you back today?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I didn't say it, I just came back to see you."
Mother Liu said, "How about having a drink with your elder brother?"
"Okay. Mom, why don't you have some too?"
"Yingzi, go get two empty glasses."
The sister-in-law immediately went to the kitchen to get two empty glasses. Wang Lidong took the liquor bottle, poured half a glass for my wife, and poured half a glass for himself.
"I was obsessed with it a while ago. Mom, brother, and sister-in-law, I apologize to you." He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the three of them, and then drank it down.
"Hong Chang, drink slowly," Mother Liu immediately advised, "Did you and Wen Hui have a fight?"
"No."
The eldest brother Liu Yunchang asked, "Did their family bully you, or did He Wenhui do something sorry for you?"
"Nothing. I just woke up this morning and suddenly felt very boring.
For more than three months, I have been working as a waiter for the He family, but no one in their family appreciates it."
The eldest brother Liu Yunchang is a little unconvinced. What he says now sounds nice, but as long as his sister-in-law says a few soft words, he will definitely have to surrender and lie down again.
Mother Liu tentatively said, "Hong Chang, since you have to be happy living in the He family, why don't you discuss it with Wen Hui and move back home?"
Wang Lidong picked up some peanuts and said, "It's impossible for He Wenhui to agree. She agreed to marry me just so that I could help her family. If she moves back here, she will definitely divorce me."
As soon as these words came out, the whole family knew that Wang Lidong had really figured it out.
Liu's mother was overjoyed, and then sighed. She realized it was a little late. It would have been better if the two of them had not gotten married. But it was still good news. "Live a good life with Wen Hui from now on. If you can't survive anymore, just move back."
live."
"Brother, I told you before that no one who comes to be a son-in-law will end up well, but you didn't listen. You must be suffering now." The eldest brother Liu Yunchang took a sip of wine and said, "Listen to my advice.
We’ll move back tomorrow.”
Wang Lidong picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the family, "I know, if I can't survive, I'll come back."
...........
He Wenhui's family
The second sister, He Wenyuan, was growling with hunger. She looked at the two plates of food on the table and said, "Mom, why don't we eat first? I'm starving to death."
He's mother said, "Just wait until your eldest sister joins us to eat. There are two more dishes."
The fourth brother, He Wenda, saw the look in his second sister's eyes and immediately called out, "Mom, I'm hungry."
At this time, He Wenhui came into the room with a plate of fried shredded potatoes. After hearing the conversation of several people, he put the dishes on the table and said, "Mom, you guys eat first, don't starve your brother."
"Mom...I'm hungry."
"Okay, you eat first."
The three little wolves of the He family immediately started their fast food. After taking a bite of the food, the second sister He Wenyuan immediately complained, "Sister, why is the food so salty?"
The other two also complained about the bad taste of the vegetables. When the last soup came, they saw that it was just a vegetable soup. He Wentao complained that there was no meat at night.
He Wenhui hurriedly explained, "I went to the vegetable market today and all the meat was sold out. Let your brother-in-law come back with meat and vegetables tomorrow."
Usually, Liu Hongchang would bring a lunch box of meat dishes, braised large intestine or pork head meat from the canteen. Not only was the portion substantial, but the most important thing was that it didn't cost any money.
"This old man Liu will not come back and prepare the food before going to his house."
He Wenhui frowned and looked at her second sister and said, "What big brother Liu? That's your brother-in-law."
The second sister He Wenyuan said disdainfully, "What kind of brother-in-law? He is just a cook. How can he be worthy of you, the eldest sister?"
Mother He stopped her kuaizi and scolded, "Wen Yuan, don't say such words again in the future."
Halfway through the meal, He Wentao suddenly stood up and poured the leftovers from the bowl into the dog food bowl.
He Wenhui said, "Wen Tao, why don't you eat? You will be hungry at night if you eat so little."
"Unappetizing."
.....
At 8:30 in the evening, Wang Lidong hummed a little tune and rode his bicycle back to the He family compound. Looking at the bright lights in the new house, he parked the car, opened the door, and saw He Wenhui sitting on the edge of the bed.
After him, he immediately stood up and said, "Hong Chang, you're back."
Wang Lidong saw an extra quilt on the bed, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly. Sure enough... the He family was reluctant to let him go.
"Hmm. Have you washed your feet?"
"I've washed it. I'll fetch water for you." He Wenhui hurriedly took the footbath, went outside and fetched half a basin of cold water, and then poured half a bottle of hot water.
It only took Wang Lidong two minutes to wash his feet. After lying in bed, he waited for a long time, but when He Wenhui still refused to come up... he put his arms around He Wenhui...
"Hong Chang, don't do this..."
"Shout louder so that the neighbors can listen..."
The woman immediately shut her mouth. After a while, a muffled sound sounded in the room, followed by bursts of discordant sounds...
Two days after the happy day, when he returned home from cooking dinner outside, he found that Mother He's room was brightly lit.
When He Wenhui heard the sound of the bicycle parking, she quickly got up and came to the door. When she saw Wang Lidong, it was as if she had met her backbone, "Hong Chang, you are finally back."
He pulled out the car keys and asked, "What's wrong? What happened at home?"
"Wen Tao and Wen Da were beaten by gangsters."
"Why did the little bastard hit them?"
"The little gangster killed Wen Tao's puppy. Wen Tao got so angry that he started fighting with him."
"Is it serious?" Wang Lidong walked into the house and saw the whole family. He's mother was sitting at the table with a sad face. His third brother He Wentao, who used to be dragged to death, today had his head drooped and looked like he was dead.
The look of parents.
The fourth brother, He Wenda, was sitting on the ground against the wall, holding the body of a puppy in his hand and sobbing.
The second sister He Wenyuan saw him and immediately shouted, asking him to beat the little yellow cat to avenge his two brothers.
Wang Lidong ignored this lunatic at all. After pulling out a chair and sitting down, he saw that He Wentao's nose and the corners of his eyes were blooming. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, you were beaten quite hard."
The second child, He Wenyuan, pointed at him angrily and said, "Old Liu, you still managed to laugh when Wen Tao was beaten. You are still not a human being! It's a good thing we treat you as our brother-in-law!"
Wang Lidong crossed his legs and sneered, "Brother-in-law?! What a joke!
When he sees me, he calls me "Lao Liu", "Big Lao Liu" yells. After being beaten, he recognizes me as his brother-in-law?!
