Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After Fang Erwa and the others carried the fried potato shreds to the serving window, they secretly ran to their mother and whispered, "Mom, Director He just taught us how to stir-fry potato shreds. We used the same potatoes, the same amount of oil, and the same seasonings, but Director He's shreds tasted better than Han Tiezhu and Wei Daniu's."

Fang Erwa's mother smiled and said, "Director He has been learning from the chef of Fengze Garden since he was 11 years old. If it weren't for the sudden change in his family, he couldn't continue to work at Fengze Garden. Otherwise, he would definitely be one of the best chefs in the city now. Director He was only 16 years old when he first came to work at the steel mill. Although he was only 16 years old, he had already become a master. You dared to compete with Director He the first time you cooked. You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."

Fang Erwa said mysteriously, "Mom, do you know? Han Tiezhu and Wei Daniu cooked according to Director He's method for the first time, and the shredded potatoes they made tasted better than yours."

Fang Erwa's mother said with a smile: "Now you know how powerful Director He is, don't you? Not to mention me, even the chefs in our kitchen who have been cooking big pot dishes for more than ten years now cook big pot dishes according to Director He's teachings. You should learn from Director He in the future. When the time comes, any pointers from Director He will be enough for you to eat for the rest of your life. By the way, did Director He tell you what to do this afternoon?"

Fang Erwa nodded and said seriously, "Director He said that we should learn how to steam two-grain steamed buns from the kitchen helper this afternoon."

"Then you must study hard when the time comes."

As the workers recruited by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill arrived one after another, the new apprentices in the cafeteria had more and more opportunities to practice. Soon, the new apprentices all learned the fool-proof cooking method formulated by He Yuzhu. As a person from the modern era, He Yuzhu only referred to the cooking methods of the pre-prepared food factories of the later generations. You should know that the pre-prepared food factories of the later generations do not need chefs to produce pre-prepared food. They only need workers to put the seasonings into the machine according to fixed steps and at fixed times. Similarly, He Yuzhu only changed the pre-prepared food production process into big pot dishes. Although the new apprentices can cook big pot dishes with similar tastes according to He Yuzhu's method, the apprentices have not learned any advanced cooking skills. To put it bluntly, these apprentices are just cooks, not cooks at all.

Thanks to He Yuzhu's training method, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill did not have a problem with workers not having enough food when it suddenly recruited a large number of workers. Other factories in the city that recruited a large number of workers were not so successful. Workers were dissatisfied with the food in the canteens, and factories with serious problems even had workers go on strike. Because it was impossible to recruit cooks who were good at cooking in society in a timely manner, the factories that encountered problems could only report to the higher authorities and ask them to help coordinate the cooks.

Opinions were quickly gathered to the State Planning Commission. When the leaders of the State Planning Commission were meeting to study how to solve the problem, they suddenly discovered that they had not received any report requesting help from the Red Star Steel Mill. After the leaders of the State Planning Commission confirmed that the Red Star Steel Mill was also recruiting on a large scale, they were very curious as to why the Red Star Steel Mill had not encountered the same problem. So an investigation team, led by the State Planning Commission and supplemented by several other industrial ministries and commissions, rushed to the Red Star Steel Mill at almost lunchtime.

Then Secretary Wang of the Red Star Steel Mill received a notice from the Ministry of Heavy Industry, the superior department in charge, saying that the leaders of the State Planning Commission would inspect the Red Star Steel Mill at noon. Secretary Wang was a little panicked when he received the notice. There was no prior notice, and with so many leaders coming at once, Secretary Wang could not take care of so many things. He could only urgently summon the main leaders of the steel mill to rush to the office building to prepare for the leaders' inspection. At the same time, he notified the security department at the factory gate to tidy up their clothes and welcome the arrival of the leaders in the best mental state. Not long after Secretary Wang summoned the leaders of the Red Star Steel Mill in front of the office building, the motorcade of the leaders of the State Planning Commission arrived at the gate of the Red Star Steel Mill. The security department saluted and let them pass, and then the motorcade of the leaders came directly to the office building of the steel mill.

After the leader of the State Planning Commission got off the car and exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Secretary Wang, he said directly: "Xiao Wang, don't be nervous. So many of us suddenly came to the Red Star Steel Mill at noon. We are mainly here to inspect the canteen of your Red Star Steel Mill. Please take us to see the canteen of your Red Star Steel Mill now."

After hearing this, Secretary Wang was very curious. Why did so many leaders suddenly care so much about the canteen of the steel rolling mill? However, he did not dare to ask too much. He could only carefully give directions to the leaders and brought them to the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

After arriving at the cafeteria, Secretary Wang looked at the mess and explained embarrassedly: "Dear leaders, our steel rolling mill is now focusing on the construction of the factory building. This cafeteria is still the original cafeteria, so it's a bit nervous to have so many people eating all of a sudden."

The workers who were eating did not think much when they saw the factory secretary Wang and a group of people walking into the canteen. After all, there was no banner with big words on it today, so it should not be a big leader. The leaders of the State Planning Commission carefully observed the workers eating in the canteen. Although the canteen looked chaotic, the workers who were eating did not look unhappy at all. Instead, most of them were very happy.

He Yuzhu, who was supervising the workers in the canteen kitchen, suddenly saw Secretary Wang bringing a group of people to the canteen, and hurried out of the canteen kitchen and rushed to Secretary Wang. Secretary Wang saw He Yuzhu coming and quickly signaled He Yuzhu not to go near him. He Yuzhu saw Secretary Wang's signal and immediately walked aside.

The leader of the State Planning Commission observed for a while, then turned around and walked out of the cafeteria. As he walked, he said, "Xiao Wang, I see that the workers in your factory all have smiles on their faces when they eat, which shows that your cafeteria is doing well. I remember that your factory has just recruited nearly 3000 workers recently. How did you solve the problem of feeding so many workers all of a sudden?"

After hearing the leader's question, Secretary Wang quickly replied: "Leader, you have a good memory. Our factory has just recruited 2872 workers. We have so many more workers to eat at once. We have to rely on our factory canteen's acting director to ensure that there are no problems. It is under his management that our factory canteen can prepare meals that satisfy so many workers."

After hearing this, the leader of the State Planning Commission quickly asked, "Where is the acting director of your factory cafeteria? Please ask him to come over. I want to ask him how he solved the problem of feeding so many people?"

After hearing this, Secretary Wang immediately shouted to He Yuzhu, who was following the crowd not far behind, "He Yuzhu, come over here. The leader has something to ask you."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly ran to Secretary Wang. The leader of the State Planning Commission looked He Yuzhu up and down. Secretary Wang said in a friendly manner: "Xiao He, this is the leader of the State Planning Commission. Leader, this is the acting director of our factory canteen - He Yuzhu."

He Yuzhu quickly stood up straight and said seriously, "Hello, leader."

The leader of the State Planning Commission extended his hand cordially and shook hands with He Yuzhu, then said, "Xiao He, you are really tall, you don't have to be so serious. I came to your factory cafeteria today mainly to investigate how your factory cafeteria solves the problem of feeding thousands of workers. Xiao He, to be honest, after the public-private partnership, many factories have expanded their scale, and many factories have recruited a large number of workers in a short period of time, but there are no cooks who are so good at cooking, so now many factory workers have problems with lunch. I see that your factory does not have this problem, I would like to ask you, how do you solve this problem?"

After listening to this, He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Leader, you are too kind. This is not the place to talk. Why don't you go to our factory's conference room, sit down and I will report to you slowly."

Secretary Wang, who was standing by, couldn't help but praise He Yuzhu after hearing what He Yuzhu said. He was very capable and worth cultivating in the future. Then Secretary Wang hurried forward and said, "Leader, He Yuzhu is right. It's not appropriate for so many of us to stand on the road. Why don't we go to the meeting room?"

The leader of the State Planning Commission looked at the group of people behind him and nodded in approval. "Then let's go to your factory's meeting room."

Then a group of people came to the meeting room of the steel mill. After Secretary Wang and other leaders of the State Planning Commission sat down, they said to He Yuzhu, "Xiao He, come here and report to the leaders how our canteen solved the problem of feeding so many workers who suddenly increased."

He Yuzhu came to the table in the conference room at random and said, "Leaders, it is actually very simple to solve the problem of feeding so many people. We just need to train a group of cooks who can cook. In order to cope with the large-scale recruitment of workers in our steel mill, our canteen also recruited 10 workers from the society. These 10 workers had no cooking experience before coming to work in the canteen. After they started working, I trained them for a week so that they could independently complete the work of cooking in the canteen every day at noon."

The leader of the State Planning Commission's eyes lit up after hearing He Yuzhu's words, and he quickly asked, "Xiao He, based on what you said, can I understand that your method can quickly train cooks in the canteen on a large scale?"

He Yuzhu nodded seriously after listening, "Yes, leader."

The leader of the State Planning Commission said immediately, "That's fine. You may need to work hard next. There are a lot of factories in our city that don't have cooks who can cook. They will all come to your steel mill. When the time comes, please train them and try to get them to cook meals that will satisfy the workers as soon as possible."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu said seriously: "Please rest assured, leader, I will complete the task."

After learning how the Red Star Steel Mill solved the problem of food for its workers, the leaders of the State Planning Commission did not stay for long and hurriedly left with the investigation team. The leaders of the next few ministries were to issue documents to the factories below, asking them to organize canteen workers to come to the steel mill canteen for centralized training and study.
