Siheyuan: Xu Damao wakes up in the world

When it was almost time to get off work, Director Li arranged for his secretary to come in advance to inform Xu Damao that he could cook. Xu Damao started to ask He Yuyu to cook, Liu Lan and Fatty to do the work, while he just stood aside and watched.

Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be taught has been taught. The time is too short, how much you can master depends entirely on the background, and then let He Yuyu perform on the spot.

Fortunately, He Yuyu has good talent and a good mentality. He did not make any mistakes in the chaos, but cooked in an orderly manner.

There were six leaders and Director Li tonight. He Yuyu prepared a generous portion of four dishes and one soup according to the standard.

"Da Mao, together?" Director Li asked.

"No, no, I'd better stay in the kitchen. If something goes wrong, I can make it right in time." Xu Damao refused repeatedly.

In the past, Xu Damao would have been eager to sit at the same table with these leaders so as to curry favor with them;

Now, Xu Damao has seen through everything and has a plan for his future life. Naturally, he is unwilling to do these uncomfortable things again.

Drinking with the boss may seem like a great opportunity, but in reality it's like walking on thin ice. God knows if you don't say the right thing, you'll offend the boss.

Leaders are also human beings. Never underestimate their cautiousness, nor overestimate their capacity. In Xu Damao's opinion, eating with the boss was just looking for trouble. It was not as enjoyable as accompanying two girls, Liu Lan and He Yuyu, not to mention a fat man who was flattering him next to him.

Director Li was just being polite and was very satisfied when Xu Damao refused knowingly.

"The next step is up to you." Director Li said and turned around to go to the private room.

The novel tables, exquisite presentation, and newly created dishes made the guests feel fresh and at the same time earned Director Li a lot of face. Especially the large plate of chicken and boiled fish won applause from the whole house.

Not only were these leaders very satisfied with their meal, but they also placed orders for ten tables for Liu Lan. The five arriving leaders each ordered two "palace banquet tables" from Liu Lan.

"Da Mao is good. I'll leave first. You guys divide the rest of the food. Also, hold on to the table and focus on what they are doing first." After Director Li finished speaking, he gave He Yuyu a red envelope and then with the help of his secretary left.

"Wow, ten yuan, Director Li is so generous." He Yuyu couldn't wait to open the red envelope as soon as Director Li left. When he saw that it was ten yuan, he was very happy.

"This doesn't mean you are good at your craft. Liu Lan, Fatty, you two should divide the leftovers. We don't want them anymore." Xu Damao said in a sway.

"Fat man, take the leftovers away, I don't want them anymore." Liu Lan waved her hand and said.

The fat man was extremely shocked by Liu Lan's generosity, and looked at Liu Lan with incredible eyes.

"What are you looking at? Your master has already spoken, why don't you pack up the leftovers and take them away?" Liu Lan said with a glare.

"Go." Xu Damao waved his hand and signaled the fat man to clean up the leftovers.

The fat man went away in a hurry. In the past, this was the welfare of Silly Zhu, but now it is finally the fat man's turn. How can the fat man be unhappy? No, in the past, Shazhu made his own share in advance. He was too greedy and far less disciplined than Xu Damao.

You can only take what the leader tells you to take; if the leader doesn't let you take it, even if the leftovers rot, you can't take it.

Obviously, Shazhu didn't understand this truth. Shazhu thought that the leader owed him something, so he set aside his share in advance. Once something goes wrong, if the leader doesn't push Fuzhu to take the blame, who will he push?

This is how cleverness leads to being misled by cleverness.

Why Liu Lan was so generous this time was not because Director Li gave her a big order for ten tables.

The royal banquet table in the palace is one hundred and eighty yuan. After deducting the material cost of 30 yuan, and then deducting the labor cost of 10 yuan, and then split it half and half with Xu Damao, this can earn 700 yuan.

In the past, I would not have been able to save 700 yuan in three years. With such a big order, it would be enough for Liu Lan's family to prosper for several years. Liu Lan naturally looked down on the leftovers in front of him.

Liu Lan doesn't like it, but Fatty likes it. However, the fat man left in good spirits and came back disappointed. The lunch box in his hand was only a little full, only one-third of the quantity.

"Why just that little?" Liu Lan asked strangely.

He Yuyu did a lot, Liu Lan and Fatty saw this with their own eyes.

"They eat so much. There is not a bit of chicken left in the big plate, only a little bit of soup is left from the boiled fish, and the rest is spicy stir-fried cabbage and vinegar-fried shredded potatoes. There is not much left." The fat man said with a sad face. .

The chili pepper and oil for boiling fish must be reused. Of course, the fat man can't pack it away, so he can only make some soup, which is still oil and water.

"This is a good thing. It shows that these two dishes are very popular. Rain cannot come to the steel rolling mill every time. We will have to rely on you in the future. From now on, don't think about anything else. Just study these two dishes and strive for excellence. Wait. Now that you are able to master these two dishes, you can pass on your new dishes." Xu Damao said.

"Yes, Master." The fat man looked better after hearing what Xu Damao said, and nodded.

The fat man had already decided. He gritted his teeth, took out some money, bought two chickens, and cooked them in eight batches. He must make a large plate of chickens.

As for the fish, let’s make the large plate chicken first, step by step. If he does a good job, Director Li will reward himself with a few dollars, and he will naturally have money to buy fish.

Liu Lan thought the same way. Anyway, he has money now. He just mentioned one hundred and eighty. As soon as Liu Lan thought about it, he said: "Fat man, you go back first."

"Master, Senior Sister, Sister Yuyu, I'm leaving first." The fat man said hello and left.

"Brother Damao, I'll give you the money. The remaining twelve tables will be divided when the money arrives." Liu Lan first returned the fifty yuan Xu Damao advanced to Xu Damao, and then gave Xu Damao seventy yuan.

"Okay, then go home, Liu Lan, do you want me to see you off?" Xu Damao said.

Love is love, business is business, brothers are still settling accounts, not to mention that Xu Damao only communicated in depth with Liu Lan. Although Xu Damao is not short of money, he hopes that Liu Lan can be self-reliant in this way, so as to save her future troubles. After being kicked by Director Li, he licked his face and asked Silly Zhu to be the cook.

"No, Fatty hasn't gone far yet. I asked Fatty to take me back, and he didn't dare not listen." Liu Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's evacuate then." After Xu Damao said that, he left with Yu Yu.

When Liu Lan saw this, he quickly left. Liu Lan caught up with Fatty and asked Fatty to take him home.

The fat man did not object, but happily sent Liu Lan home and chatted with Liu Lan all the way. In addition to saying good things about Xu Damao and indirectly flattering Xu Damao, he also exchanged cooking experiences with Liu Lan. Learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses.

It has to be said that Fatty is a bit talented in this area. If he doesn't understand anything, he can calmly ask questions. Liu Lan is also happy to communicate with him and make progress together.

After Xu Damao and He Yuyu returned to the courtyard, they found that the front yard was quiet and the middle yard was full of people, so they guessed that Yi Zhonghai was probably causing trouble again.

As soon as Xu Damao entered the front yard through the hanging flower door, he saw two familiar figures squatting outside the corridor between the front yard and the middle yard.

"Zhu Suo, Zhang Suo, why are you here?" Xu Damao asked strangely.

"Shh, keep your voice down. It's been two days and you haven't gone to get the money. We're not here to give you money. Damao, have you offended Yi Zhonghai? Lao Zhang and I have been squatting here for a while. , I found out that Yi Zhonghai wants to deal with you." Director Zhu said with gloating.

"I didn't offend Yi Zhonghai, it was Yi Zhonghai who offended me. You two came just in time. I invented a new dish and I'll let Yu Yu make it for you to try later." Xu Damao said.

When Xu Damao saw Director Zhu and Director Zhang present, he couldn't help but mourn three seconds of silence for Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai, an old thief, was very unlucky. He must have made sufficient preparations for the hospital meeting tonight. , I didn’t expect to bump into Director Zhu and Director Zhang to give me money. Isn’t this hitting the muzzle of a gun?

As long as Xu Damao doesn't do anything harmful to nature or violate discipline, Director Zhu and Director Zhang will definitely favor themselves, just like Yi Zhonghai favored the Jia family.

This is what adults are. Adults don’t talk about right or wrong, only about interests.

"Well, you first deal with the bad things in the courtyard. We two brothers will wait here for now. When the situation becomes unfavorable to you, we will come forward to stand up for you." Director Zhu said.

Xu Damao shrugged indifferently and walked into the hall.

"Xu Damao is back..." a cry came from the crowd.
