Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Master Chen, I've bought the Erba sauce you requested. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Just when Chen Jun was busy in the kitchen, the woman walked in with a bottle of Erba Sauce.

After Mr. Liu's criticism just now, the woman's attitude towards Chen Jun took a 180-degree turn.

"Put it on the table. I'll call you if there's anything!" Chen Jun didn't expect the woman to come back so quickly.

After the woman left, Chen Jun started working again.

Since there weren't any dishes that took too long to prepare, Chen Jun started serving the food very quickly.

The woman was waiting outside the kitchen. When she heard Chen Jun calling for the dishes to be served, she went in and brought them over.

Before twelve o'clock, Chen Jun had finished his work.

Mr. Liu was still chatting with Director Yang and others in the study. Director Yang sat very upright and poured some tea for the other leaders from time to time.

"Dong~dongdong~"

There was a knock on the door outside the study, and Secretary Wu pushed the door open and walked in: "Mr. Liu, lunch is ready."

Mr. Liu looked at the time in surprise: "Master Chen is so efficient!"

Factory Director Yang smiled when he heard this: "Master Chen used to set up a stall on East Street before he joined the factory. He had to cook hundreds of dishes every day, so he had developed his efficiency a long time ago."

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Mr. Liu was surprised that Chen Jun had actually gone to East Street to set up a stall before.

With his skills, even if he doesn't become a chef in those top restaurants, he can at least become a master chef in some high-end restaurants.

I didn't expect him to be so low-key and set up a stall on the street.

It’s not easy!

If an ordinary young man had his ability, he would be so proud of himself. Few people are as calm and hardworking as him.

"Come on, let's eat and talk at the same time. You are in for a treat today!" Old Liu waved to the other people.

As the group walked out of the study, they smelled a rich and tempting fragrance.

When we got to the restaurant, the aroma was so delicious that our mouths were watering.

The dining table is now filled with many dishes, such as twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, boiled pork slices, pickled fish, mouth-watering chicken, fried pork with peppers, etc.

One of them sniffed and couldn't help swallowing.

"Is this the dish made by Chef Chen? It smells so good!"

"Hahaha, we are in for a treat, this chef is really talented!"

"Come, everyone, take your seats." Old Liu said with a smile.

After everyone was seated, Mr. Liu carefully scanned the dishes on the table and couldn't help but say, "If nothing goes wrong, there will be spicy chicken and fish-flavored eggplant next."

"There shouldn't be any Dongpo pork elbows. We don't have enough time."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Mr. Liu in surprise.

Can you guess the dishes that weren’t served later?

Not long after, Chen Jun came in with two dishes, one was fish-flavored eggplant and the other was hot and sour pork lung slices.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu grinned and thought he was half right.

The food Chen Jun prepared today is all Sichuan cuisine, which is just to my liking.

"Hey, little chef, your cooking is so delicious."

After tasting the dish made by Chen Jun, the woman who bought the Erba sauce said to Chen Jun with some guilt: "You looked too young just now, so I was a little rude in my words. I apologize to you here."

Chen Jun smiled and waved his hand: "You're too polite."

It was obvious that the woman was also conquered by her own cooking skills.

Looking at the others again, except for Mr. Liu, the others all kept their heads down and ate in silence. Even Director Yang was too busy to serve tea or water to others.

"Master Chen, the taste of these dishes today seems to be different from the previous few days!"

“I feel like the taste has improved a lot!”

Not only did the dishes on today's table shock others, even Mr. Liu was shocked.

It was so delicious, even better than what I had at the steel mill a few days ago.

"The ingredients you prepared should be better." Chen Jun said modestly.

"Hahaha, you are a good person in every way, except that you are too modest." As he said that, Mr. Liu pointed to an empty seat at the side and said, "There are no outsiders here, sit down and eat together."

Chen Jun nodded and sat down without any hesitation.

This meal was quite satisfying. We had originally planned to chat while eating, but now we just ate in silence.

With six or seven people and twelve dishes, there should be a lot left over.

But by the time the meal was over, the soup in the plate was almost gone.

Except for Chen Jun, everyone else was full.

The power of a second-level cook plus top-grade seasoning is truly extraordinary.

Old Liu touched his belly inconspicuously and arranged for Chen Jun to rest first, while he had to go to the study to discuss some things.

It was not until after three in the afternoon that the leader finished his work.

Chen Jun was bored, so he found a book from Old Liu's house and sat in the yard to read it leisurely.

Normally, he should have gone back to the steel mill after cooking, but Mr. Liu didn't let him go, and Chen Jun was happy to slack off here.

"Oh, I just finished my work. You must be anxious waiting for me, right?" Mr. Liu said apologetically.

Chen Jun smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, reading a book in the sun is also a beautiful thing!"

Seeing this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but smile: "Do you know how to play Go? Play a game with me."

"Understood."

"A little bit? Hahaha, no problem, I'll teach you."

So Mr. Liu took the Go board directly from the house and started playing Go with Chen Jun while chatting.

An hour later, Mr. Liu looked at the chessboard in front of him and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

"You kid, this is called knowing a little?"

This was already the fifth game. At first, Mr. Liu was still trying to give way to Chen Jun, but something seemed wrong as time went on.

This guy is obviously a Go expert. He lost all five games, but Chen Jun acted as if nothing had happened and it was obvious that he didn't feel any pressure.

Chen Jun scratched his chin in embarrassment.

He didn't expect this result.

Is it that Mr. Liu’s chess skills are too poor, or is it that the computer he practiced against before was too powerful?

In his previous life, when Chen Jun was in college, he played Go games on the computer when he had nothing to do. He had never practiced against real people, so he did not have a clear understanding of his own level.

"Another plate, you have to give me some more." Old Liu said unwillingly.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Liu leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

This kid doesn't give in to me at all!

But I have to say that after playing these games, Mr. Liu felt that his Go skills had improved a lot.

And he also felt that Chen Jun was becoming more and more interesting.

"Mr. Liu, it's almost time. I have to go back to the cafeteria." Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Jun said goodbye.

There shouldn't be any problems at the cafeteria, but it makes me feel at ease to take a look around before leaving get off work.

Mr. Liu nodded: "Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you."

After that, Mr. Liu led Chen Jun into the study, pointed at the record player and said, "This record player is a good thing. You have been busy for so long today, just consider it as your reward!"

"Oh, then thank you, leader." Chen Jun nodded unceremoniously.

A record player is much more valuable than a radio.
