Siheyuan: I, Shazhu, will never be a scapegoat

"Hey, Director Yang, if you have anything to say, just give me instructions. Why do you have to come here in person?"

At noon, in the office, just as he was about to take a break, Sha Zhu saw Director Yang walk in.

Ever since he became Deputy Director Li's man, Director Yang basically had no contact with him.

"Zhu Zi, look at what you said. It's okay, so why can't I come to see you?" Director Yang said with a smile, his words and tone revealing kindness.

Sha Zhu immediately realized that Director Yang had probably come to him for help regarding the matter concerning that big boss.

To be frank, with his current cooking skills and Director Yang's experience, I'm afraid there's no one better than him.

Otherwise, Director Yang might not come to see him.

After all, he was no longer Director Yang's man, but Deputy Director Li's man.

"Of course." Sha Zhu smiled, and then changed his tone and said, "But Director, you are very busy, so I'm afraid you don't have the time to chat with me."

Director Yang simply said directly: "Since you can see that I came to you for something, I will tell you directly."

"One of our senior leaders in the steel mill has a Sichuan chef who has asked for leave today. Zhuzi, you are very good at Sichuan cuisine, and there is no entertaining today, so I want to take you with me and cook for him later."

Director Yang looked at Sha Zhu and said, "I wonder if you are willing, Zhu Zi?"

"It's my honor." Sha Zhu immediately asked, "When do we leave?"

Since he is the big leader, how could Sha Zhu be unwilling?

This person can be considered as Sha Zhu's benefactor.

Things were going so smoothly that Director Yang couldn't help but laugh, and he looked at Sha Zhu with a much better attitude.

After agreeing on a time, Director Yang left first.

Sha Zhu also immediately went to greet the canteen director. Regardless of whether Director Yang had greeted the canteen director or not, he had to say hello. He understood the etiquette of the world.

And sure enough, Director Yang greeted them first, and Sha Zhu exchanged some pleasantries with him before leaving.

Sha Zhu also told Deputy Director Li about this matter.

This is not a show of loyalty, but a statement of one's attitude.

Deputy Director Li felt comfortable with Sha Zhu's behavior from the bottom of his heart. Many times, what we want is not just an attitude.

Loyalty and the like are a bit too fake. After all, no one can see through the human heart.

"Zhu Zi, that big leader has a lot of power. You are so lucky. If you can get his appreciation, you will definitely have a bright future." Deputy Director Li said with a bit of envy.

Sha Zhu believed this, but unfortunately, the wind will blow next year, and the big leader will have no choice but to flee to the south.

Sha Zhu didn't say much on this topic. After all, this big leader was actually Director Yang's backer, so he just said something polite and then left.

After a while, Sha Zhu got into Director Yang's car first.

Xu Damao followed closely behind, put his things away, got into the car, and then he saw Sha Zhu.

When he saw Sha Zhu coming along, Xu Damao's cheerful mood disappeared instantly.

Moreover, Sha Zhu and Director Yang sat in the back, while Xu Damao and the driver sat in the front. Xu Damao couldn't help but think that he was inferior to Sha Zhu.

"Damn it, no wonder I was asked to sit in the front. It turns out that bastard Shazhu was with me." Xu Damao was very angry, but he couldn't show it in front of Director Yang.

Along the way, Director Yang and Sha Zhu were talking and laughing, which made Xu Damao feel that he was inferior to Sha Zhu.

When they arrived at the leader’s house, Sha Zhu got out of the car, patted his butt, and went in with Director Yang.

But Xu Damao wanted to move the equipment, which made Xu Damao even more dissatisfied. Why?

After entering the house, the boss and his wife were still upstairs. An old man who was similar to a housekeeper said that it would probably take a while for the boss and his wife to finish their nap before they would come downstairs.

Director Yang hurriedly said that they should not disturb the two people's nap, and that he and Sha Zhu came too early.

Sha Zhu directly suggested going to the kitchen first to familiarize themselves with it and see what else needed to be prepared.

The old man immediately took Sha Zhu to the kitchen, and asked Sha Zhu what he needed, and then he asked someone to buy it.

Sha Zhu thought about it and asked the old man to help him get a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote down that there were a lot of things he wanted to buy.

The old man got paper and pen and went out first.

After Sha Zhu wrote down a lot of things he wanted to buy, a slightly noble woman came into the kitchen.

She should be in her fifties or sixties, but she looks like she is in her forties. One can vaguely tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

"Are you the Sichuan chef brought by Lao Yang?" The woman who came in looked at Sha Zhu with suspicion.

Although Shazhu looks old, he is too young to be a chef.

No matter what industry you go to, it’s inevitable to judge people by their appearance.

Of course, in the cooking industry, those who can be called master chefs are basically at least 40 years old.

In any era, learning skills is not something that can be done overnight.

It's only possible that Sha Zhu's cooking skills were inherited from his family, otherwise, he wouldn't have become the chef of a steel rolling mill before he was even thirty.

Without enduring a few years of hardship, learning skills, and working hard for the master for a few years, how can you possibly receive the master's dedicated teaching?

Art is not easily passed on, and this is true in any industry.

Even in the future, when there are a ton of food videos, if you really want to learn cooking skills, you still have to start as an apprentice. It will take three years after three years before you have the chance to be a chef. In the end, even if you become a chef, you can’t become a master without five or six years of experience.

"I don't dare to call myself a Sichuan chef, but I'm pretty good at it." Of course, Sha Zhu could see that the wife of this big leader was very skeptical about his identity as a Sichuan chef.

When the boss's wife heard what Sha Zhu said, she nodded, which was considered as her approval of Sha Zhu. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very confident, so he shouldn't be that bad.

"What are you doing with a pen and paper?" the boss's wife couldn't help but ask.

Sha Zhu raised the paper and said, "These are the ingredients and materials needed to make Sichuan cuisine."

"So, my kitchen is missing a lot of things." The boss's wife asked again. She even had to write it down on paper, so there must be more than two or three things.

Sha Zhu nodded and handed it over: "I have written down what is missing and what you want to buy."

The boss's wife took it, looked at it, and said doubtfully, "Do you need to buy so many things to make Sichuan cuisine?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "If you want to make the authentic ones, yes. If you want to just make do, the ones in the kitchen will be enough."

Although the boss's wife was a little embarrassed, she still said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to buy the food. I hope you don't mess it up and make something that's not authentic Sichuan cuisine."

Then, without waiting for Sha Zhu to reply, he left with an unhappy look on his face.

Sha Zhu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. As the wife of a big leader, everyone would flatter her in a nice way. Sha Zhu's behavior would naturally cause dissatisfaction in the other party.

The boss’ wife, after giving some instructions to the old man, went to the hall.

Thanks to Xu Damao's ability to adapt to the situation, the wife of the big leader was coaxed into being happy.

"Da Mao, you should know the chef in the kitchen. Are his cooking skills reliable?" The boss's wife asked casually.

Xu Damao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Here comes the opportunity. Shazhu, you bastard, just wait and see how I, Xu Damao, will discredit you. Don't even think about getting close to the big leader or his wife.
