"You need to add some water to this choking cabbage... Oh, yes, this way the dish will taste better..."
He Yuzhu was standing aside with his hands behind his back, instructing his apprentice Ma Hua on making workers' lunch. He caught a glimpse of Liu Lan opening the kitchen curtain and walking in happily, and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Silly Zhu, Director Gangyang said that there is a reception tonight and he wants you to serve eight dishes. As per the old rules, I will serve you the dishes tonight."
Liu Lan is usually a fish in troubled waters in the kitchen. As long as there is a treat, she will rush up to the kitchen so that she can easily collect the leftovers and take them home for a toothpaste.
He Yuzhu took the menu handed over by Liu Lan and found that her eyes were black and blue. It seemed that she had been busy for a long time last night.
It is rare for Factory Director Yang to entertain people. He is a mature man and a practical man. He is interested in production and focuses on production capacity.
On weekdays, it is Deputy Director Li who likes to entertain. He is the best at playing power. He often uses the public entertainment of the steel rolling mill for his own personal gain in the name of cooperation.
His entertainment expenses alone can account for 70% of the entire steel rolling mill. Facts have proved that his trick really works.
Although he is still the "deputy" director in name, the purchasing department, logistics department, publicity department, and safety department of the steel rolling mill are now under his control.
It seems that a certain big leader is here today, otherwise Deputy Director Li would only be of a high level to accompany him. He Yuzhu remembers that he knew the big leader because Factory Director Yang personally took the lead.
When I looked at the menu again, I couldn’t help but smack my tongue. They were all hard dishes!
Spicy stir-fried pork head, stir-fried kidneys with green onions, braised pork, soy pork elbow, pickled fish, twice-cooked pork, stewed old hens with wild mushrooms, and mapo tofu.
No wonder Liu Lan is so happy. In these days, pork control is extremely strict, and the monthly ration of oil per person is only two kilograms. Everyone is short of oil and water in their stomachs.
Just pack up the leftovers of this meal, and you will be able to taste some meat for the next week. Although it won't make you full, it will have a little more flavor.
"Ding! It is detected that the host needs to demonstrate cooking skills. You can choose to upgrade to junior cooking skills. Do you want to upgrade?"
Good guy, it turns out that my cooking skills are only rudimentary in the system, but even this rudimentary level is a lonely existence in Sijiu City.
Otherwise, Deputy Director Li would not forget the food he cooked. Even if He Yuzhu got angry and beat him because of the beauty, he would still bow his head and obediently invite He Yuzhu to come back.
This is nothing to worry about. He Yuzhu loves cooking, so he directly chose to upgrade with his consciousness. Instantly, he felt that his whole body was full of explosive power, and there was a faint sound of air explosion between the fists.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading his cooking skills to intermediate level, and will be rewarded with 1,000 bags of Xiehe MSG!"
He Yuzhu looked at the neatly stacked Xiehe MSG in the space and felt excited.
This is a good thing. The "Ajinomoto" invented by a little RB boy in the past is known as "Ajinomoto at home, white water turns into chicken juice", and it has always been the best.
It wasn't until 1956 that Kyowa Company successfully developed a new formula, which not only had high output, but also had low losses, and the taste also surpassed Ajinomoto, a true domestic product!
If you can use some Xiehe MSG when cooking, the taste will be amazing, especially in this era when seasonings are scarce, it is even more rare.
While everyone was not paying attention, He Yuzhu sprinkled a large amount of Xiehe MSG into the pot. The oil and water problem cannot be solved now, but the taste problem can be solved within the scope of ability.
As soon as 12 o'clock arrives, the workers rush to the cafeteria with their lunch boxes. They are not enthusiastic about cooking and have ideological problems. This is true in every era.
Besides, the work in the steel rolling mill workshop requires a lot of effort, and there is no oil or water for food. Often before 12 o'clock, the workers are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs.
"The cabbage is so fragrant today. Master He's craftsmanship has improved again."
A worker ate a mouthful of cabbage and a mouthful of steamed buns, which made him feel satisfied. He was also full of doubts: the same stir-fried cabbage, made by his own women, looked like pig food.
"Yes, I wish I could eat three meals a day in the cafeteria." Another worker puffed his cheeks and agreed.
"Who says otherwise? These potatoes have no meat, but they are very fresh. If you dip these buns in some soup, they will be delicious."
Deputy Director Li makes a routine inspection of the canteen with his hands behind his back. On weekdays, he rarely eats the big pot dishes in the canteen.
At this moment, I heard the workers cheering, and in a blink of an eye I saw Factory Manager Yang sitting in the canteen eating, so I asked someone to get one for me. I wanted to get in front of Factory Manager Yang while carrying the food.
Deputy Director Li knew about Director Yang's entertainment at night from Liu Lan's mouth, but Director Yang had never done anything like this, so he felt very uneasy.
After he sat down and just said hello to Director Yang, he heard Director Yang asking the secretary on the side about He Yuzhu's chef grade and salary.
"He Yuzhu is now a level 4 chef with a monthly salary of 37 yuan and 50 cents."
Deputy Director Li was about to talk when the secretary spoke again:
"He has been working as a level 4 chef for several years..."
Deputy Director Li was not happy when he heard this. Isn't this obviously implying that Director Yang should upgrade He Yuzhu?
It is reasonable for He Yuzhu to upgrade. After all, his cooking skills are there, and he has been working as a fourth-level worker for several years. It is time for an upgrade, both in terms of skills and length of service.
But this man had a bad mouth and repeatedly contradicted himself. He did not take him as the deputy director seriously at all, but he was very respectful to Director Yang.
He has long wanted to rectify He Yuzhu, and wanted to throw him into the workshop for renovation. For this reason, when he was entertaining before, he secretly changed the cook several times, hoping to have a replacement.
As a result, none of those who can beat the cowhide can cook, and the dishes they cook are indescribable.
Moreover, all his customers only recognized He Yuzhu, and threatened that if He Yuzhu hadn't been cooking, they would never come again.
This made him unable to do anything to He Yuzhu. Thinking of this, Deputy Director Li took a mouthful of cabbage and was impressed by the smooth, crisp and tender taste of the cabbage.
I really didn’t expect that this vegetarian dish could be so delicious. I feel like all the cabbage I had before was in vain!
"Then let's upgrade He Yuzhu to another level. His cooking skills are indeed authentic."
When Deputy Director Li heard what Director Yang said, he couldn't help but feel anxious: Even if He Yuzhu was to be given a benefit, He Yuzhu would still have to beg him to let him know who is in charge of this steel rolling mill now, and what does it mean to be prosperous if he obeys me?
,Those who oppose me will perish.
The secretary on the side was all smiles after hearing this, and was about to turn around to do it, but was stopped by Deputy Director Li.
"Director Yang, please don't worry...this idiot's cooking skills are good, but his character is not good..."
Director Yang was stunned when he heard this. He Yuzhu has no good character?
"I'm also thinking about you. I know you cherish talents, but this idiot has a bad mouth.
The last time I hosted a business partner, I guess I made him work overtime, and his face looked stinky when he served the food... The business almost collapsed, but it was only because of my good words."
Deputy Director Li said "heartbroken". Seeing that Director Yang was also entangled, he took advantage of the victory and pursued him:
"Si Zhu's promotion has long been within my consideration, but I still want to observe and test his temperament.
There’s no rush for this matter, right?”
Director Yang saw that Deputy Director Li had said this, so he had no choice but to agree.
