Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After He Yuzhu left, the five judges said directly, "Lao Wang, you cook Shandong cuisine, what do you think of the dish cooked by that young man?"

Wang Junyi stroked his beard and said, "Although I didn't watch the young man cooking, the candied yam he made is not worse than mine, and even tastes better than mine. I didn't expect that the young man is so good at cooking at such a young age. Wu Baotian has a good apprentice. But I don't remember Fengzeyuan having such a great chef. I know Wu Baotian. It's true that he works at Fengzeyuan, but he brought his eldest son with him. His son's name is Wu Youren."

"It's strange. This young man has such good skills, why haven't we heard of his name in the city? This shouldn't be the case. Old Shi, where is the young man's application form? What's his name? Which unit is he from?"

Shi Zhengliang blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "I saw that he was so young, I thought he was ambitious and had just signed up, so I didn't look at his application form carefully." After saying that, Shi Zhengliang quickly picked up He Yuzhu's application form from the table next to him and started reading it. "This young man is called He Yuzhu, he works at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and his position is the deputy director of the logistics department."

As Shi Zhengliang finished reading He Yuzhu's message, the old men couldn't help but look at each other.

Wang Junyi even said directly: "This guy is just bluffing. He is a good cadre and is taking the chef exam. Isn't this just a joke?"

An old man next to him said, "Old Wang, don't get angry. It seems that they didn't say that cadres are not allowed to take the job grade examination. The problem now is how to grade him. What grade of chef is appropriate? Old Shi, you are a master of Sichuan cuisine. How about the mapo tofu he made according to your requirements?"

Shi Zhengliang thought for a moment and said, "The characteristics of Mapo Tofu are numbing, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh and lively. He Yuzhu used the materials in the examination room to make Mapo Tofu, which has the characteristics of numbing, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender and fresh. Except for the last bit of work because there was no garlic sprout, the other aspects are not worse than what I make. If he uses high-quality seasonings, it is estimated that the taste will be better than mine. If I were to rank him, I think I would still give him a first-class chef, but he is too young, he is only 21 years old. Compared with him, I feel that I have lived like a dog at my age. You guys have also tasted it, tell me what you think. Lao Zhang, you go first!"

When Lao Zhang was named by Shi Zhengliang, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "Lao Wang and Lao Shi, both of you said that He Yuzhu's dishes are no worse than yours. You are all first-class chefs. It doesn't make sense to not give him the title of first-class chef just because he is young. If this gets out, we won't be able to save face. Maybe people will say that we are jealous that his talent is higher than ours and we are suppressing the younger generation. My idea is that since he has the level of a first-class chef, we should give him the level of a first-class chef. This way, it will become a good story in a few years."

"Besides, didn't Old Shi just read it? His current status is a cadre. He has become a deputy director at the age of 21. I'm afraid his future is limitless. It is estimated that he will only participate in this level assessment in his lifetime. In this case, why don't we help him? In this way, when he really reaches a higher position in the future, when people talk about the origin of his chef level, our names will definitely be mentioned. Maybe we can even leave a mark in history through him."

After listening to Zhang Zhongyou's words, several people began to think about it. After all, being able to leave a name in history is an irresistible temptation for that man. Wu Zhaolin continued, "I think what Lao Zhang said is right. I agree with Lao Zhang's idea. Lao Hu, what do you think?"

Hu Lianquan said, "Since the three of you have finished speaking your minds, let me tell you mine. The two dishes He Yuzhu made were impeccable in appearance, with both color and aroma. After tasting them, they tasted first-rate, with the last bit of flavor. Since the two dishes are both delicious and have no flaws, I agree to assign him a first-class chef title."

Liang Changyuan, who had been silent until Hu Lianquan finished speaking, saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he said straightforwardly: "My idea is the same as yours. I also agree to give him a first-class chef rating. You guys have forgotten one thing, his master is Wu Baotian, his master should know what level he is at, but why didn't He Yuzhu ask his master to be rated, but came to us instead? Is it because his master wants to avoid suspicion? After all, if we rate such a young guy as a first-class chef, it is inevitable that some people will have wild thoughts. But if we rate his apprentice as a second-class chef, then his master will feel that the level of his apprentice is too low, and what will happen if he invites the important people in the city to eat his apprentice's dishes? Then we will be embarrassed."

After listening to Liang Changyuan's words, the four elders realized what they had overlooked. He Yuzhu had a legacy. His master was alive and well, and his fame was no less than theirs. If Liang Changyuan was right, they would not be able to stay in the city. So Shi Zhengliang said, "Then, elders, shall we give him the rank of first-class chef?"

Several old men nodded. Wang Junyi said, "Since we all agree, please write your opinions on the registration form. We will all sign our names and hand it over to the staff at the examination room. As for whether the people above will give He Yuzhu the first-level chef certificate after reading it, that is not our headache."

Shi Zhengliang swiftly wrote his opinion on He Yuzhu's application form: "After comprehensive evaluation by the judging panel, Comrade He Yuzhu has the level of a first-class chef. It is recommended that He Yuzhu be awarded the first-class chef title. Shi Zhengliang."

After Shi Zhengliang signed his name, he gave the pen to Wang Junyi, who took the pen and signed his name next to Shi Zhengliang's. After Wang Junyi signed, the other three people signed their names on He Yuzhu's application form. After everyone signed, Shi Zhengliang shouted to the staff around the examination room: "Xiao Li, come over here, this is the result of the candidate just now."

The young man named Xiao Li ran to Shi Zhengliang and took He Yuzhu's application form. Xiao Li habitually looked at the results on the application form and exclaimed, "What first-class chef?" He quickly looked at the candidate information on it. After seeing He Yuzhu's age and identity, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air again. He contributed his meager strength to the warming of the blue planet. Xiao Li took He Yuzhu's application form and asked with a tangled expression, "Master Shi, are you sure He Yuzhu can be rated as a first-class chef?"

After hearing what Xiao Li said, Shi Zhengliang glared at him and said, "What's wrong? Do you think we are joking?" After Shi Zhengliang finished speaking, the other judges also looked at Xiao Li with unfriendly expressions.

Seeing this, Xiao Li hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. Senior chefs, He Yuzhu's age is a bit scary. It's a bit scary to say that he's only 21 years old and a first-class chef."

Shi Zhengliang said seriously: "This is an objective and fair evaluation made by a few of us based on He Yuzhu's actual level. If the leader feels that our evaluation is not objective, you can ask other people to re-evaluate He Yuzhu."

After hearing what Shi Zhengliang said, Xiao Li was so scared that he stammered, "Master Shi, that's not what I meant. I'll send He Yuzhu's application form to the leader and let him take a look." Are you kidding? These old guys are all big names in the city's chef world. Their title of first-class chef is directly awarded by the state. How can a mere clerk like me evaluate a chef recognized by them all?

Looking at Xiao Li who was running away, Wang Junyi said with a smile: "Old Shi, why are you scaring Xiao Li? He is just a worker, you...

After hearing what Wang Junyi said, Shi Zhengliang just smiled and didn't say anything.

It is a pity that He Yuzhu, who had already walked out of the examination room, had no idea what happened inside. If He Yuzhu knew that he almost missed the chance to become a first-class chef and it was all thanks to his master's reputation that he was not suppressed by several culinary bigwigs, He Yuzhu would probably realize the importance of having a background.

He Yuzhu walked out of the examination room and returned to the crowd at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Qian Dafei asked with a smile, "Deputy Director He, how was your test score? It must have been very good."

He Yuzhu laughed and replied, "The results haven't come out yet, so I don't know the specifics, but I have shown my normal level. As for the results, it depends on how the judges judge them. Mr. Qian, I have passed the exam, and I have nothing to do here anymore. I won't wait here with you, and I will go back to the factory first."

Qian Dafei said, "Deputy Director He, please go back quickly. You have more things to do than me. I will just keep an eye on things here."

After talking to the workers in the cafeteria for a few more words, He Yuzhu turned to Nan Yi and said, "Comrade Nan Yi, I have finished my exams and I am going back to our factory. See you again if we have the chance." After saying that, He Yuzhu stretched out his right hand.

Nan Yi quickly stretched out his right hand and held He Yuzhu's hand, and said excitedly: "Comrade He Yuzhu, see you again if we are lucky."

He Yuzhu patted Nan Yi's shoulder and turned to walk out of the crowd. After finding his bicycle, He Yuzhu unlocked the rear wheel, stepped on the bicycle and pedaled hard, and the bicycle jumped out. He Yuzhu pedaled the bicycle and felt the wind blowing in his face. He couldn't help but feel proud. His career as a chef can be considered to have come to an end today. No matter what level of chef he can pass, he will not participate in the assessment again in the future. He will devote his energy to logistics work in the future. Cooking is just a hobby for him.

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered the melody of a song in his mind: "Towards the wind, embrace the rainbow, bravely move forward, the light of dawn will pass through the darkness, break all fears, I can find the answer."
