Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Liu Feng took He Yuzhu to the canteen of the welding factory.

This welding factory operates in three shifts, and the work in the kitchen is actually not that heavy. Usually, there are only three to four hundred workers who come to eat in each shift.

But compared to the canteens in the steel rolling mill and welding plant, they have to prepare an extra dinner for the workers.

"Deputy Director He, our welding factory is a small one, not as good as the canteen at the steel rolling mill. I hope you won't laugh at me."

Liu Feng said to He Yuzhu embarrassedly.

He Yuzhu was walking around in the cafeteria with a pursed mouth. It was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the cafeteria environment of the welding factory.

The two went to the kitchen again.

A tall and thin man wearing a tall chef's hat was directing everyone's work in the kitchen.

The tall and thin man's left index finger was wrapped in gauze, obviously injured.

As a chef, it's normal to get hand injuries.

But it’s a bit unreasonable to stop working just because your finger is injured.

Liu Feng said to He Yuzhu at this time.

"That's Master Nan Yi, the chef of our welding factory."

Before He Yuzhu could say hello to Nan Yi, a man of medium build walked over.

He Yuzhu felt that this looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Deputy Director He, do you still recognize me, Cui Dake? I went to the steel mill to collect my year-end benefits before the New Year!"

He Yuzhu suddenly realized it at this moment.

No wonder this guy looked familiar, it turns out he is Cui Dake.

"Remember, remember, the one who collects the supplies!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and said something to Liu Feng.

"Okay, Director Liu, I'll take care of the rest myself, you can go do your thing."

Liu Feng nodded and waved to Nan Yi.

"Nan Yi! Nan Yi! Come here."

Only then did Nan Yi walk over slowly.

"Director Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Feng pointed at He Yuzhu and said.

"Nan Yi, this is Deputy Director He who has been transferred from the main factory to temporarily replace you. You two can get acquainted with each other. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Liu Feng walked out of the kitchen.

Cui Dake was furious when he saw that He Yuzhu still ignored him.

But when he saw Liu Feng was about to leave, he hurried over and followed him to the kitchen to flatter him.

Nan Yi works in the welding factory, but he has heard that there is a chef named He Yuzhu in the steel rolling mill who has excellent cooking skills.

I thought it was an old man.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a young man in his twenties.

"Are you He Yuzhu from the steel mill?"

Nan Yi looked He Yuzhu up and down, he still couldn't quite believe that the young man in front of him was the famous He Yuzhu.

"I'm He Yuzhu from the Red Star Steel Mill."

He Yuzhu was a little unhappy when he saw Nan Yi doubting him.

Nan Yi saw that He Yuzhu was about to get angry, so he said.

"I heard that you are a great cook. It's spread all over the city. I want to learn from you today. What do you think? Do you dare to take me?!"

Nan Yi said with a hint of provocation.

He Yuzhu decided to give Nan Yi a warning, otherwise he would not be convinced.

"Okay, how do you want to compete?"

He Yuzhu asked.

Nan Yi pointed to the stove and chopping board and said.

"Let's each make two dishes and compete to see which one is better!"

He Yuzhu nodded.

So the two of them walked to the chopping board and started to compete.

He Yuzhu took out a package from his bag and opened it, revealing a kitchen knife.

Seeing this, Nan Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Every cook has his own special kitchen knife.

Now He Yuzhu actually carries his own kitchen knife with him, which means that his cooking skills must be quite good.

"Master Nan Yi, what kind of cuisine do you want to cook? Do you have any requirements?"

He Yuzhu asked.

"Cuisine? What cuisine can you cook?"

Nan Yi actually learned a lot of different things and knew a little bit of everything, but none of them were good enough to be put on a big stage.

But his talent in cooking makes the dishes he makes taste pretty good.

However, most of the cuisine in the old city comes from Shandong cuisine, so you really have to look for it according to its origin.

Nan Yi’s cuisine is actually a branch of Shandong cuisine.

He Yuzhu saw Nan Yi's embarrassment and knew that he had learned from a wild teacher, so he stopped making things difficult for him.

"Lu...Lu cuisine, let's compete with Lu cuisine."

He Yuzhu almost laughed out loud.

Doesn’t Nan Yi know that his father is the master chef of Tan family cuisine?

Tan cuisine is also a branch of Shandong cuisine. After all, Shandong cuisine is also known as palace cuisine and it was royal cuisine in the previous dynasty.

I have also learned 80% of my father's skills.

"Okay, Shandong cuisine, right? Then let's go with Shandong cuisine!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu picked up a radish, put it on the chopping board, and washed his hands in the sink.

Then he picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting the vegetables quickly on the chopping board.

When Nan Yi saw He Yuzhu's knife skills, his heart sank again.

The quality of a chef’s cooking skills can be seen in his knife skills.

It is obvious that He Yuzhu's knife skills have reached perfection.

Although his knife skills are not bad, they are all unconventional and not very serious.

He Yuzhu is preparing to make a first-class tofu.

This dish of tofu is also a classic dish in Shandong cuisine. The ingredients are readily available and it is also the most popular dish in various hotels and restaurants.

Originally, this dish requires a lot of seafood.

For example, high-end products such as sea cucumbers, scallops, and shrimps.

However, the conditions here are limited, so forget about these luxuries.

But this is not a problem for He Yuzhu.

previous life.

He has obtained a certificate as a top chef and is best at improvement.

Improvements have been made to Yipin Tofu.

With no major changes in taste, it is more in line with the living conditions of today.

For another dish, He Yuzhu made sweet candied yam.

Candied silk also plays an important role in Shandong cuisine.

Candied bananas, candied apples, etc. are all from Shandong cuisine.

While Nan Yi was still stirring the wok, He Yuzhu had already prepared two dishes.

Nan Yi was still making the second dish, and it was ready soon.

Nan Yi made Erdong.

It is dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots, which are used for stir-frying.

Another dish is Tai Shan San Mei Tang, which is a dish made with cabbage and tofu.

Although it is just one dish, it can be considered that Nan Yi has cooked two dishes.

When the workers in the kitchen saw the four dishes on the table, they all swallowed their saliva.

He Yuzhu made a gesture of invitation to Nan Yi.

Nan Yi picked up the chopsticks, picked up two bites of food from He Yuzhu's plate, and put them into his mouth.

As soon as he put the food in his mouth, Nan Yi bowed deeply to He Yuzhu.

"Deputy Director He, I admit defeat. I used to be a frog in a well and always thought my cooking skills were top-notch. But after experiencing Deputy Director He's cooking skills today, I realized that I am just a frog in a well."

He Yuzhu hurriedly helped him up and said.

"Master Nan, you are too polite. I have a handwritten copy of the Shandong cuisine encyclopedia here. If you don't mind, take it and study it."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a thread-bound cookbook from his bag and handed it to Nan Yi.

This made Nan Yi very happy.

"Deputy Director He, you are so open-minded. I will treat you to lunch today so we can exchange ideas."

He Yuzhu did not refuse Nan Yi's olive branch and accepted it directly.

He Yuzhu didn't need to prepare the big pot meals for ordinary workers himself. He was preparing the hospitality dishes for the leaders.

There is one table for lunch and another for dinner.

This must be done by He Yuzhu himself.

Just when everyone was busy, Cui Dake ran into the kitchen and said to everyone.

"Hurry up and don't be lazy. The leaders will be here soon. If you let them go hungry, you will be in trouble...!"

Before Cui Dake could finish his words, someone grabbed him by the back of his collar.

Cui Dake, whose body was hanging in the air, screamed in fear.

Turning around, he saw He Yuzhu picked him up with one hand.

"Deputy Director He, I didn't... I didn't say you, I was talking about... them!"

"No one can stop you from saying anything. If you dare to come into the kitchen again, I'll break your legs. Get out of here!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu carried him out of the kitchen and threw him out.

Cui Dake can still show off his power to Nan Yi and the others, after all, he is the class leader.

But he didn't dare to let go even one of He Yuzhu who came from the main factory.

There was no choice but to get up, sit by the flower bed outside the cafeteria, and sigh.

"Don't let this dog He Yuzhu fall into my hands, or I'll make you pay!"

But he was just cursing, he was just a canteen monitor in a branch factory.

How to fight with the deputy director of the general factory.

Soon, a group of people wearing Zhongshan suits who looked like leaders walked towards the cafeteria.

He Yuzhu knew one of them.

The big leader who taught He Yuzhu many lessons in the play was walking at the front of the crowd.

People like Liu Feng, who are factory directors, can only follow at the back.

With great difficulty, Liu Feng was able to say a few words to the big boss.

The first sentence is.

"Thank you for your hard work, leaders. We have prepared food for you. Please move to the private room."

The second sentence is.

"Boss, this way please!"

After following for the whole morning, Liu Feng only said two sentences. For the rest of the time, he was just a follower.

The top leaders have already known about the problems at the welding plant.

The lack of good skilled workers is indeed a big problem.

But good technical workers are the treasures of each factory and are well paid.

Generally, they won't let people go easily.

Although the top leaders can use their power to force these talents to come to the welding factory.

But the problem is that some people who come to the welding factory do not work hard, while those who work hard will earn less.

At that time, the factory was also in a big pot meal mode, no matter how hard you worked or how lazy you were.

The workers are generally not very motivated and can get a good harvest every month regardless of drought or flood.

If this problem is not solved, productivity cannot be increased and workers' skills cannot be improved.

Although the leader looked calm, he was actually very anxious inside.

He had no better way to solve this problem.

However, in response to Liu Feng's hospitality, the big leader spoke politely.

"Just make a few dishes and make do with them, but don't try to be special."

Liu Feng spoke hurriedly when he saw the big boss talking to him.

"No, no, these are just home-cooked dishes. We won't give you any special treatment. Leaders, please come this way."

A group of leaders were also happy after hearing Liu Feng's words.

These are just polite words, the food must be very rich.

Entered the private room.

A dish of garlic pork was placed on the table, and the aroma of garlic and balsamic vinegar filled the entire private room.

The big boss' eyes lit up.

Garlic pork is a delicacy in Sichuan cuisine.

“Director Liu, I never thought that your small welding factory has a chef with my skills. You are really a well-hidden talent!”

After hearing this, Liu Feng hurriedly flattered him.

"I know that you, the leader, love Sichuan cuisine, so I specially invited a chef who can cook Sichuan cuisine to come here and let you, the leader, and other leaders, comment on it."

As they were talking, another dish was served.

Another classic Sichuan dish - twice-cooked pork!

The big boss looked at the two Sichuan dishes on the table and fell into deep thought.

This is the smell, so familiar.

I seem to have eaten it somewhere before.

Before he could finish his doubts, another dish of shredded pork with fish flavor was served.

The big boss couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it into his mouth.

'He Yuzhu! ! '

At this moment, the name He Yuzhu suddenly popped up in the leader's mind. He was sure that the chef was definitely He Yuzhu from the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

Soon after, dish after dish was brought in.

There are Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, and even Cantonese cuisine's beef with choy sum.

But the highlight is also the hotpot fish for one person.

The spicy and delicious taste immediately whetted the appetite of the leaders in the private room.

"This welding factory is really full of hidden talents. Dishes like this may not even be available in state-owned restaurants."

"Yes, the only people who have this technology, besides those large restaurants, are Master He from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

"Master He from the steel mill is not easy to hire. I asked someone to look for him twice, but couldn't find him!"

Hearing everyone praising He Yuzhu, Liu Feng also felt proud.

Fortunately, I borrowed Master He, otherwise Nan Yi alone would not be able to deal with these leaders.

The big boss greeted everyone with a smile and raised his chopsticks to eat.

Soon, the only sounds in the private room were the sound of slurping food and occasional compliments.

From beginning to end, Liu Feng did not even dare to move his chopsticks. He could only pick up the wine bottle and pour wine into the leaders' empty glasses.

These are the gods of wealth of the welding factory and they must be served well.

Otherwise, given the welding factory’s current state, collapse is only a matter of time.

The big boss finished two bowls of rice in a row before he put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.

He touched his bloated belly and said to Liu Feng.

"Director Liu, please invite Master He, your chef, to come out and meet him!"

Liu Feng was stunned at first, then he smiled and gave a thumbs up to the leader.

"The leader is indeed worthy of his reputation! Fortunately, the leader knew as soon as he tasted it that the dish was made by Master He from the steel mill. Wait a moment, I will ask Master He to come over right away."

Liu Feng stood up, left the private room and walked towards the cafeteria.

At the cafeteria entrance, I saw Cui Dake sitting there and asked curiously.

"Captain Cui, it's dinner time now. The kitchen is extremely busy. What are you doing sitting here?"

Cui Dake said aggrievedly.

"Director Liu, that...that He Yuzhu, he kicked me out. You have to take charge of this for me, Director Liu!"

When Liu Feng heard that it was He Yuzhu who kicked Cui Dake out, he instantly lost his confidence.

Although he is the factory director, it seems that He Yuzhu's words are more effective than his.

"Cui Dake, you better behave yourself. If you piss off Master He, I'll ask you to go back to Nantai Commune and get out of here."

Liu Feng said to Cui Dake impatiently, then went to the kitchen without even looking at him.

Cui Dake originally thought that Liu Feng, as his distant cousin, would stand up for him, but unexpectedly, he was scolded by Liu Feng.

This made him hate He Yuzhu even more.

At this time, He Yuzhu was standing at the canteen's food window, watching the cooks serving meals to the workers.

Nan Yi was also helping at the window, looking towards the cafeteria entrance from time to time.

Like he's waiting for someone.

suddenly!

A tall, beautiful young woman in a white coat walked into the cafeteria.

Also coming in with her was Cui Dake, who had a fawning look on his face.

However, the beautiful woman didn't take Cui Dake seriously at all. She held her head high and walked to the food window.

Nan Yi was furious when he saw Cui Dake following the beautiful woman.

"Cui Dake, what the hell do you have to do? Everyone is busy, and you are here harassing female lesbians!"

Cui Dake was also anxious at this time.

"Nan Yi, you better keep your mouth shut. We are in a free love relationship, how can you say it is harassment? You must be responsible for what you say!"

In this day and age, harassing women is considered hooliganism and the circumstances are very serious.

The beautiful woman gave Cui Dake a blank look.

"Who is in a free love relationship with you, you shameless bastard!"

At this time, Nan Yi took a large lunch box from the side and handed it to the beautiful woman.

"Qiu Nan, this is specially reserved for you. It's a dish cooked by Master He from the steel mill. Try it!"

The beautiful woman in the white coat is none other than the most beautiful girl in the welding factory—Ding Qiunan!

"Master Xiao He, you are here! Come with me! The boss wants to see you!"
