Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Did he say anything?" Zhao Guang asked calmly.

"I heard there are some issues with next quarter's purchases, and I need you to check them out."

The corner of Zhao Guang's mouth twitched slightly.

Give him this trick at this critical moment.

Li Huaide, ah Li Huaide, you are so cruel.

At the same time, his heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly realized that receiving such a thing at this time did not seem to be a good thing.

He was the one who negotiated what dishes to cook.

If the final result is not good, he will be in trouble. If he also went to see Li Huaide during this period...

With Director Yang's stingy personality, he will have a hard time in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guang sighed: "What kind of thing is this?"

Sha Zhu looked around the environment of the third canteen. It was now past four o'clock, and people were washing vegetables and chopping vegetables. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

"Hey, isn't this Master He? What's the matter? Are you here to guide our work?" Liu Lan turned around and walked over.

When Sha Zhu saw this, he was surprised. It was an old acquaintance. "Isn't this Sister Liu Lanlan? What's wrong? You betrayed the Fifth Canteen and came here to enjoy yourself. You are living a good life, right?"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes. This idiot Zhu is still so rude.

"Don't tell me this, the kitchen is in the back, no outsiders allowed in here!"

"Oh, I want it." Sha Zhu sneered and went in the direction she pointed.

At this moment, Cao Wei was teaching his two apprentices how to work.

"Processing ingredients is one of the basic skills of our chefs. No matter what kind of meat, fish, duck, chicken, goose, pork, etc., the first thing to consider is not how to make it delicious, but how to remove its fishy smell. Meat with fishy smell will not be qualified except for a few dishes that need to retain the fishy smell."

The smell of meat has always been the first hurdle that chefs have to face.

Zhao Boxue and Yu Zhuangzhuang both listened hard.

"Now, I'll teach you how to deal with this duck."

In fact, the progress of the two apprentices has not reached that level yet. But there is no way. To put it bluntly, in this era, there are not many opportunities to make good things. He has been here for four months and has only cooked a total of ten times. This is far from enough for a chef. Therefore, he will choose to seize any opportunity to teach his apprentices.

He didn't want to wait until later, when he wanted to open a restaurant of his own, and his apprentice couldn't keep up with his progress.

The small kitchen was not big, and Cao Wei naturally noticed a person as big as Shazhu standing there.

"Master He." Cao Wei greeted him, "Please wait a moment. I will teach them how to handle the duck first."

"Master Cao." Sha Zhu also greeted him. Everyone who knew Sha Zhu knew that he would never be so polite: "Just do your thing. There's no rush."

The dishes he cooked were not ones that took time to prepare. The pork elbow did take a while to prepare, but it would only take about an hour, so there was still time. He was watching Cao Wei teach his apprentice.

The more I look at it, the more frightened I become.

He never expected that Cao Wei would teach in such detail.

This gave him a great shock.

Yes, it was shocking. Nowadays, unless one was a proper apprentice, it was impossible to be taught in such detail. The most important thing was that Cao Wei didn't care that he was listening. Cao Wei's method of handling ducks was something that even he could learn a lot from.

A little after six in the afternoon.

Director Yang and his entourage brought the top leaders to the third canteen.

As we walked, the leader said, "This expansion is very important to our country. You must cooperate well and make no mistakes."

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"Hahahaha, kid, you're not in the army now, so you don't have to use this trick on me, an old man."

Although he said that, he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his tone.

At least, Director Yang did a good job in expanding the steel mill.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, the leader smelled a fragrant aroma: "Oh, the food in this cafeteria is pretty good."

"We work in logistics, and our job is to ensure that the workers have good food and shelter," Li Huaide said cheerfully.

"Well done." The big boss nodded. He was also a foodie. The taste was already quite good for a big pot meal. "Just for this taste, I'm really looking forward to tonight's dinner."

"Please come this way."

In the small cafeteria.

Wei Wei had already run over one step ahead.

"Everything is in place, you can serve the food."

"Let's serve the soup first. It'll whet your appetite."

Cao Wei pointed to the prepared sour radish and old duck soup and motioned Liu Lan to bring it out.

Not many people came today. Xu Damao didn't come because he had work to do, so there was no movie screening.

At this moment, Sha Zhu's mood was complicated. He truly experienced what a genius was.

When it comes to cooking, he had to admit that Cao Wei was far ahead of him.

Sour radish and old duck soup is a classic Sichuan dish.

Radish is an ingredient that, most of the time, becomes the main character of the soup.

First, take a sip of the soup, which is sour and refreshing, then chew a bite of the radish, and feel the sweetness of the radish bursting in your mouth. This feeling is intoxicating.

Just the first dish of soup made the leader's eyes narrow slightly.

Li Huaide thought this was a very magical thing.

Generally speaking, Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table, but if the food on the table is delicious to a certain extent, they will consider eating first instead of talking about things. The food cooked by Cao Wei has this kind of magic.

Take a sip of soup and a bite of duck meat. The duck meat is stewed to be extremely soft and melts in a sip. In fact, the difficulty of this soup lies in the duck meat. Most people do not handle duck meat well, and it will have a unique fishy smell, which will destroy the beauty of the soup. This is why there is a saying in Guangdong and Guangxi that it is enough to drink the soup. The meat used for making soup is useless and should not be eaten. It is not delicious.

The same is true.

However, Cao Wei's handling of the situation made the leader's eyes light up.

This dish alone made him look forward to the next dishes.

Director Yang rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Leader, you are here today. Two chefs from our steel mill are just discussing cooking skills."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" The big boss raised his eyebrows: "So, the dishes here are made by two chefs?"

"Of course, I'm telling you the truth." Li Huaide interrupted quickly.
