Because he stayed up late to attend the auction, Chen Jun spent the morning catching up on sleep in his office.

But Chen Jun had only been asleep for a little over an hour when he was woken up by a loud knocking on the door.

He opened his eyes and looked towards the door, only to find that the visitor was Director Song.

"Oh my, where did you go having fun last night? Why are you still sleeping?" Director Song teased, then raised his hand and said, "I gave the tea you gave me to my father-in-law as a gift, and he sent someone to stuff a whole bunch of stuff into my hands."

"These two ducks are from him. I was thinking it would be a waste to cook them at home, so could you clean them up for me? We'll have a nice lunch together."

They call it filial piety, but it's actually outright robbery.

Last night, Director Song's father-in-law came to their house for dinner. After drinking too much, Director Song started showing off the tea that Chen Jun had given him. His father-in-law is a tea lover, and after taking a sip, he liked it very much, so he took a whole box with him when he left.

Then, the father-in-law was very generous. After returning home, he sent people to deliver a lot of things to Director Song and his wife.

"Ha~~"

Chen Jun stretched comfortably and then casually asked, "How would you like it? Stewed, stir-fried, or grilled, it's all fine."

"Can it still be baked?"

Director Song was taken aback, and immediately thought of a classic dish from Beijing: Peking duck.

"Of course, the cafeteria has an oven."

After several iterations and upgrades, the ovens in the steel rolling mill are now very sophisticated. They are not only larger but also capable of maintaining a constant temperature, making them perfect for baking bread, let alone roasting ducks.

Chen Jun is confident that the roast duck made in the cafeteria is definitely better than that from Quanjude.

"Then let's roast it. The last time I had roast duck was three or four years ago. It was winter, and your sister-in-law saw how hard I was working..."

"Hey, hey, stop, stop!"

Chen Jun quickly waved his hand, interrupting Director Song's display of affection.

This guy is a total wife-obsessed man. He loves to praise his wife all the time, and once he starts, he can't stop.

To be honest, the improved oven is really easy to use. It's incredibly convenient for roasting duck because it's temperature-controlled, which greatly reduces the difficulty of roasting. With just a little care, you don't have to worry about the roast duck turning into a disaster.

Just before lunchtime, Director Yang arrived at the canteen carrying a briefcase.

He was going to a lunch gathering, where one of the leaders had once eaten at the steel mill and couldn't forget the steamed buns served in the canteen. So, Director Yang planned to pack some steamed buns so that the leader could taste them again.

I didn't expect that when I entered the kitchen, I would smell an aroma that was even stronger than that of steamed buns.

That's strange, there's no hospitality today!

"Squad Leader He, what's that smell? It smells so good. Where's your director?" Factory Director Yang asked.

Sha Zhu pointed and said, "Our director is in the oven room at the back. You'll understand once you go and take a look."

oh?

Could it be that Chen Jun is baking something delicious?

Factory Director Yang had an idea: "Pack me a dozen or so steamed buns with vegetables, I'll take them with me later."

After saying that, he hurriedly headed towards the oven room at the back.

As soon as I entered, I saw Chen Jun wearing thick gloves open the oven door, and then a roast duck with a reddish color and a plump appearance was taken out.

"Oh my, look how well this roast duck is made! It's so much better than what you buy outside."

"Quickly, take it to the kitchen and have it chopped up. We'll each have a duck for lunch and eat our fill!" Director Song said impatiently.

Of course, it's not his fault; the roast duck smelled so good that he had been craving it for over an hour.

They've been waiting so long, all for the sake of getting a bite to eat, so Director Song is now itching to bite right away.

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's still one left. I'll slice the meat, roll it up with cucumber strips, and brush it with the cafeteria's secret sauce. That'll be just perfect." Chen Jun carefully took out the roast duck and continued, "After slicing the meat, we can use the duck carcass to make soup. You can take it back tonight for your sister-in-law to try."

"Hiss, my wife can only drink soup?" Director Song was shocked and somewhat unhappy.

"Well, not really, but the roast duck doesn't taste as good if it's left out until the evening." Chen Jun knew what Director Song was thinking as soon as he saw his reaction.

He probably wanted to send the roast duck to his wife.

However, roast duck doesn't taste as good if it's left out for too long. Chen Jun thought duck bone soup was also good, so he stewed it before leaving get off work so that Director Song could take it home and drink it right away.

"No way, you two are actually making roast duck in the kitchen???"

After understanding what was going on, Director Yang felt his head buzzing.

What an amazing life!

He felt that he, as the factory director, was not as comfortable as the two department heads.

Um???

Chen Jun and Director Song were startled by Director Yang's words, only then realizing that Director Yang had been standing behind them at some point.

"When did you arrive, Director Song?" Director Song stepped forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the roast duck behind him, and then explained, "I brought the duck from home; it's not part of the factory's property."

He was worried that Director Yang would misunderstand, so he explained the origin of the roast duck.

But to everyone's surprise, Director Yang didn't care about any of that. He waved his hand to interrupt Director Song, then leaned close to the roast duck and took a few deep breaths of its aroma.

Um!!

fragrant!

It smells so good!

The aroma is irresistible. Bringing such a roast duck to a dinner party would not only make you look good, but also help you build closer relationships.

"Chen Jun, I didn't expect you to be such a master at making ducks," Director Yang couldn't help but praise.

To be... a duck?

Chen Jun's face twitched involuntarily as he emphasized, "It's roast duck, not duck!"

“Same here, I think this roast duck is quite good.” As he spoke, Director Yang took out a few yuan from his briefcase and stuffed it into Director Song’s hand.

"Ahem, one is enough for you two. I'll take the other one with me; I have official business to attend to!"

What is that??

Director Song was dumbfounded when he saw the money in his hand.

He never expected that Director Yang would actually set his sights on his roast duck!

And they just slipped him the money, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Sell ​​it to him; it's a little hard to part with such a delicious roast duck.

If they don't sell, then the two directors coming to the oven room to figure out what to eat will make them feel somewhat guilty if Director Yang sees them.

After a period of intense inner turmoil, Director Song reluctantly decided to part with it.

"Alright, since you have official business to attend to, you can take one of these roast ducks, but I can't accept the money."

"No way, one thing at a time. The duck is yours, and I have to pay you!"

Only after receiving payment can one have the confidence to take the ducks. Director Yang understood this very well, and then instructed Chen Jun to pack up the roast ducks.

"Oh, and get me some of that cafeteria's secret sauce too!"
