Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Under the guidance of Lao Guo, Director Fang went to inspect each key workshop.

Although some minor problems were found, the positive enthusiasm on the workers' faces made Director Fang feel excited.

After going through all the troubles, Lao Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no major problems had occurred.

He checked the time, slowly approached, and suggested softly, "Director Fang, it's time for dinner, why don't we go to the cafeteria? You can also take a break and try some fresh food."

"Oh? What new thing do you want to try?" Director Fang looked at his watch and replied with some surprise.

Lao Guo chuckled and touched his nose: "Aren't foreign experts coming? Director Lu from the logistics department invited a highly skilled chef to come over."

Director Fang frowned slightly, feeling somewhat unhappy about such extravagance, but when he thought that it was a hospitality for foreign guests, he suppressed his unhappiness.

Lao Guo noticed the change in his expression and added, "Director Fang, the chef we invited has trained our cooks and built a stone kiln. We will be self-sufficient in the future, which will save us money."

Director Fang's brows gradually relaxed. He was very appreciative of this proactive approach and laughed, "Not bad, it's economical and good. Your logistics are quite impressive."

"Then let's go there now?" Lao Guo took the opportunity to bring it up again.

"Okay, I'll go and try it too. See how your chef has learned. I haven't tasted it in years." A trace of nostalgia flashed across Director Fang's face, and he walked forward in high spirits.

In the canteen's kitchen, Chef Yang was busy placing a pot of porridge on the table to cool.

Special vegetable soup and mixed vegetable soup have been placed on the table, exuding an enticing food aroma.

"Master Yang, after you finish mixing this vegetable salad, the bread and cakes in the stone kiln outside should be ready to be baked." He Yuzhu's voice sounded at the right time, offering a reminder.

Master Yang kept moving his hands and looked up and said, "Okay!"

He Yuzhu held the bowl and continued to eat the soup.

Can a chef's work be called stealing? It's normal for a chef to taste the food he cooks!

After Chef Yang finished making the salad, he picked up a bite and took a bite, comparing the taste with that made by He Yuzhu.

He nodded with satisfaction and put down his chopsticks: "Master He, how do you feel about trying it?"

He Yuzhu heard the shout and walked over. He picked up the clean chopsticks and put some food into his bowl, then lowered his head to taste it.

He smacked his lips and nodded: "Master Yang, you just need to practice more in the future. The taste is okay."

After receiving He Yuzhu's affirmation, Master Yang showed joy on his face: "Okay! Master He, I will go out and get busy then."

He Yuzhu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and wiped his mouth: "Okay, let's go out together. Let's see how it's grilled."

The two walked out of the canteen kitchen side by side, and saw the kitchen helper carefully watching the fire in front of the stone kiln.

As they approached the stone kiln, a fragrant aroma wafted into their noses. The two men smiled knowingly and walked quickly forward.

When the kitchen helper saw the two of them, he immediately stood up and greeted them: "Master Yang, Master He!"

Master Yang nodded and said to him, "Okay, there's no more work for you here. Go in and take a rest first!"

"Okay! Masters, you are busy!" The kitchen helper responded with a smile, secretly feeling lucky that he could do the easy job of making fire today.

Master Yang hung the basket in his hand on the hook of the stone kiln, opened the furnace door, hooked the tray in the furnace with an iron hook, and slowly pulled it out.

As the iron hook moved, the baked bread came out of the oven, and a rich wheat aroma mixed with hot air instantly spread.

"Hiss, it looks pretty good!" He Yuzhu walked forward, took the basket, and started to take the bread off.

"Master He, your method is very simple." Master Yang looked at the baked bread in front of him, gratitude flashing in his eyes.

"Master Yang, you might as well try some new things in the future, such as adding some chopped fruit or minced meat to the bread machine." He Yuzhu said as he picked up the bread.

After hearing his words and taking this attempt into consideration, Master Yang was given an idea.

This is just like making buns or pancakes, where you can mix the fillings yourself, but the method is slightly different.

He figured out the key point, looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Master He, I understand what you mean. I will definitely try more in the future."

"Okay! We've picked up all the bread. Master Yang, take the cake mold to the back kitchen and take it apart!" He Yuzhu suggested.

"Okay!" Master Yang moved the tray away deftly and used an iron hook to pull out the cake inside.

Although some of it overflowed from the gaps in the mold, the aroma was very tempting and the baking was not a failure this time.

When the two of them walked into the kitchen carrying bread and cakes, the sweet aroma instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Cake will be a popular dessert in the future, but in today's era, it is still a rarity for many people.

Master Yang opened the mold somewhat awkwardly, and an ordinary-looking cake appeared in everyone's sight.

The people around smelled the fragrance and swallowed involuntarily.

Lu Qiufu arrived at the kitchen at some point. When he smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up and he quickened his pace and walked inside.

The onlookers noticed Lu Qiufu coming in, and after reminding each other, they made way for him.

"Great! Brother, your hand is absolutely amazing. We will all have a treat at noon today!" Lu Qiufu's voice of praise suddenly sounded behind him.

He Yuzhu was startled and turned back to look at him: "Brother, you almost scared me to death."

"Hehe! Aren't you happy?" Lu Qiufu smiled naively, rubbed his hands, and seemed extremely excited.

"Director, you're here!" Seeing this, Master Yang stopped his work and greeted Lu Qiufu.

Lu Qifu turned his head and waved his hand: "Old Yang, continue to do your thing. Don't worry about me. If you do well, it will be the greatest respect for me."

Only then did he see the various foods on the counter. His eyes widened in surprise. "Old Yang, did you make all this?"

Master Yang nodded with a smile, his sense of accomplishment evident in his words.

Lu Qifu quickly turned around and pointed at the table: "Brother, have you tried all these?"

His tone sounded somewhat uncertain. On the one hand, he hoped to see Lao Yang take on the responsibility, but on the other hand, he was worried that the dishes would not taste good.

"Don't worry, this is all made by Master Yang today. I'll be watching from the side and tasting the food with the bowl in hand." He Yuzhuo saw the worry that flashed across his face and comforted him.

Hearing this, Lu Qiufu smiled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, feeling grateful for his help.

It only took two days, partly because Old Yang had a solid foundation. But if He Yuzhu had kept it to himself, how could he have done all this so quickly?

"Brother, I won't say anything. I've got it all in mind."

He Yuzhu looked at Lu Qifu in front of him and smiled: "Brother, just go and do something else. Don't worry about the kitchen."
