Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Once you get in the car, you will find that Jeeps of this era are not comfortable at all.

Xu Damao was so excited that he looked here and there.

Director Yang was undoubtedly satisfied with Xu Damao's performance.

It was Cao Wei that surprised him.

"Master Cao, have you sat here before?" asked Director Yang.

When asked this question.

Xu Damao's unstoppable boasting paused for a moment.

[Negative emotions +288]

Cao Wei: ...

Good, good, it’s you, Xu Damao.

"I've never sat on one before. I'm nervous."

Director Yang:...

Xu Damao:......

driver:……

You don't look nervous at all.

“Hahaha.” Director Yang laughed awkwardly three times: “Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. This time, I’ll have to trouble Master Cao again.”

[Negative emotions +688]

It's not over yet, right? You've been sitting next to him for a whole day. You're so excited, aren't you afraid that he will do something weird?

Looking at Xu Damao's eyes rolling around, let alone whether Cao Wei had this system, even if it didn't, he knew what this guy was thinking.

It's nothing more than thinking over and over again about things like "Why does Director Yang value a cook so much?"

He sighed in his heart, hoping that this guy wouldn't do anything weird later.

As the car started to shake, I realized that riding in a car these days is not a pleasure, whether it is the shock absorption or the road conditions. My buttocks were really suffering.

When we arrived at the place, it was similar to Li Huaide's house. We also needed to be inspected before we were allowed to pass.

Director Yang took Cao Wei to the kitchen, explained some things, and then left. Cao Wei looked around and found that this kitchen was really different. At least, it was different from the kitchens of ordinary people. Everything was fully prepared. In the kitchens of ordinary people, the ingredients usually prepared were seasonings such as salt and soy sauce. At most, there would be more lard and sesame oil.

The kitchen in the big leader's house has everything.

The kitchen was not big. After walking around, he found a place to sit down, took out a book and started reading.

In this respect, he is no different from Sha Zhu. Director Yang also arranged a movie, so they started watching the movie, and when they were halfway through, they started to make trouble again, so there was no need to rush.

As I was watching, a middle-aged woman walked in.

Seeing Cao Wei, he frowned slightly.

He asked, "Are you Master Cao who is here this time?"

Cao Wei took a look and stood up. This was not a matter of flattery. When someone came to ask questions, no matter what, standing up was basic etiquette: "Yes, it's me."

Cao Wei is different from Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was brought in by Director Yang to help cook after he heard that the boss didn't eat well. Cao Wei, on the other hand, was invited in by his subordinates because the boss liked the food. The nature of the two is different.

The leader’s wife may question Sha Zhu’s cooking skills, but she will not question Cao Wei’s cooking skills. She will only think, maybe she brought the wrong person?

"Yes, it's me." Cao Wei nodded.

"The Level 6 cook in the Third Canteen?"

Wow, that's a clear enough check.

"Yes, it's me." Cao Wei continued to nod, like a ruthless nodding machine, and added: "I was also the kitchen helper in Fengze Garden when I was young."

Leader’s wife: …

"You little kid." The leader's wife was amused: "Come to think of it, your master's aunt and I are old friends."

Cao Wei: ???

No, my goodness, your generation has a very wide social network.

How come you recognize everyone?

"I heard from Mr. Yang that you are studying medicine under him now? How is your study going?"

How come you know everything...

"I'm not studying medicine. I'm just learning to identify medicinal herbs so that I can update the recipes in the future." Cao Wei quickly denied it, and then asked carefully, "How do you know so much?"

"How could I not know this? Well, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go out and take a look. Is there anything missing here?"

"It's quite a bit." Cao Wei shook his head. There was sesame paste that wasn't in the play, but now it's there: "If you plan to watch a movie, tell me halfway through. You can eat an hour and a half earlier."

"Okay." The leader's wife didn't say much to Cao Wei and just walked out.

Cao Wei prayed silently for Xu Damao, hoping that this buddy would not cause trouble. He himself didn't even know that his network of contacts was so wide, how could he have connections with any leader?

Xu Damao was fiddling with the projection equipment.

The leader’s wife came out.

"Young man." The leader's wife called out with a smile.

"Hey, go ahead." Before Xu Damao came, Director Yang had warned him not to talk nonsense, but at this moment, he had forgotten all about it.

Logically speaking, there was no deep hatred between Xu Damao and Cao Wei, but this guy held a grudge against Cao Wei just because of a few polite words from Director Yang, and Cao Wei had no place to complain.

"How is the skill of the young master who came with you?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said cheerfully, "I know what you mean. He is the one who wields the big spoon in the cafeteria. He has no problem making big pot dishes, but if you want to make more delicate dishes, he definitely can't do it. Look at him, how old is he?"

Leader’s wife: …

She originally wanted to ask Cao Wei how working in the steel mill was like, but he gave her a big surprise right away, leaving her speechless.

Just when I was about to scold him, the big boss walked in.

He glanced at Xu Damao. Xu Damao immediately showed a flattering smile, but he didn't know why, this flattering smile seemed to lose its effect at this moment.

"Master Cao, it's ready." After a while, Secretary Yan walked into the kitchen and informed Cao Wei.

"Okay." Cao Wei put the book aside and started working.

Secretary Yan nodded with satisfaction. This Cao Wei was at least not like Xu Damao. Whatever he said was the truth, and it was best for him to do whatever he was told to do.

Start a fire and cook.

There weren't many people this time, the big boss, his wife, Director Yang, Secretary Yan, oh, there was originally one more person, Xu Damao, but now he's gone, four servings of food. Cao Wei didn't plan to cook too much. It was still the same as always, four dishes and one soup, slightly more than what an average person would eat. Being a private chef requires a keen eye, and some people are very picky.

Cao Wei did it for a while, but later it just couldn't continue. Some masters really like to find fault.

Fortunately, this one shouldn’t be too picky.

For today's four dishes and one soup, Cao Wei plans to make home-cooked dishes, including a dish of "Maoxuewang", a portion of "twice-cooked pork", a portion of pickled fish, boiled pork slices, and a stewed chicken. Three dishes with strong flavors and two ordinary ones.
