Chapter 405 Fragrance

Everyone: There’s no need to be so direct.

The soldier glanced at everyone in the room, said nothing, and quickly sent the message.

A few minutes later, the message came back.

He read it word by word, "Accept it, but the price can't be too high."

Hearing this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Chef Zheng felt that he had done his job and turned to leave.

As soon as I went out, I saw an old man following me secretly.

The man was standing on tiptoe, looking a bit thief-like.

Chef Zheng knew that it was He Dabing, who was in charge of the base's finances. The two had a good relationship and lived next door to each other.

Now that he was being held, he did not struggle, but waited quietly to see what he wanted to say.

The old man was sneaky, and seeing that no one was around, he whispered, "Well, I just heard that you were a duck? You don't want this duck butt for 50 billion, right? Can you give it to me? You know, I have a chicken at home, but it doesn't grow meat, so I want to feed it something nutritious."

Ever since Wubaiyi placed an order for food from Chef Zheng, people at the base like to hang out in the kitchen whenever they have time.

Now it has become a check-in tourist attraction.

Occasionally they would catch the chef cooking in the transparent glass kitchen and they could watch for a while.

Although I can’t eat it, I can still see the food being cooked and smell it.

With the aroma, it seems that the bean cake in my mouth is not so bad at all!

Legend has it that once, after the chef had fried a pot of yellow croaker, he saw that the young soldiers, aged 18 or 19, were too greedy, so he kindly gave each of them a fish head.

The fried, fragrant fish head immediately captured the taste buds of these people.

"This smells so good! How can it be so delicious?"

“This is what people eat!”

"Is the 50 billionaire boss really not going to eat it? This fish head is so delicious after it's fried crispy."

"Tsk, look at you, you are such a loser. The big guys have yellow croaker meat to eat, why are you still eating fish heads?"

"Hehe, if he doesn't eat it, I will! I wish I could eat fish heads every day! They're so delicious!"

The chef sighed in his heart when he saw the little soldiers holding the fish head and eating it bite by bite.

These are all newly recruited soldiers. The youngest is only 18 years old and the oldest is only 20.

Natural disasters are ruthless. Countless soldiers die every day, and these soldiers don’t know whether they can survive until the end of the disaster.

Now I am so happy to eat a fish head!

No matter what others say about him, he has come into contact with Wubaiyi so many times and has already made his own judgment.

She could have any of the kitchen waste, such as fish heads and fish entrails, but she left them to him by default and even paid him extra salary.

His one-tenth reward for supplies does not include these locations.

What a nice person.

After the natural disaster, he saw too much indifference of human nature, but felt the hidden kindness of 50 billion people, and now he is willing to help others to the best of his ability.

Ever since the news of the chef giving a yellow croaker head spread, more and more people went to the kitchen to check in every day, hoping that the chef would be in a good mood to give them a bite.

Although it doesn't happen often, it's good to have something to look forward to.

When he heard the old man asked for duck butt, he understood what he meant and didn't worry about whether the chicken was eaten for meat or not.

He just whispered back, "I can only give you 3."

"Okay, okay." The old man was very satisfied. The duck butt was big and three of them were enough for a meal.

He smiled and said a few more words to the chef, then turned around and went back.

Chef Zheng shook his head and turned back.

When we arrived at the kitchen, the fruit wood roast duck was already emitting a fragrant aroma.

This time, the 50 billion yuan was used to give him 6 ducks, and he was asked to make them all into roast ducks. He thought that although he was a good cook, he was not very proficient in roast duck.

I specially found someone to learn from.

This is why it has been delayed until now.

He could smell the fragrance of the duck and was full of confidence!

When the time came, the roast duck with golden skin and bulging like a ball was ready and taken out.

People who had smelled the fragrance and came to visit couldn't help swallowing when they saw the ducks.

This smells so good.

The chef was well prepared.

Roast duck is best eaten while hot. He took out a knife and gently scraped the skin, making a crisp sound, which attracted a lot of swallowing sounds.

Then he cut directly and cut off the crispy layer of the belly, which was to be eaten with sugar.

The kitchen helper nearby quickly took out the lunch box that Wu Baiyi had prepared in advance, and the chef carefully put the duck skin in it.

As the duck meat was cut, transparent fat remained, and the audience nearby let out sounds of regret.

It's such a pity to waste so much oil.

Might as well drip into their mouths.

The chef was well prepared, and all the oil was caught steadily in the large bowl below, without a drop being wasted!

But this is a good thing. People are starving now and have a heavy workload. He will chop up the duck fat and several other duck butts and put them in today's soup, so that these people can taste the flavor of duck!

After he has sliced all the duck, the duck bones cannot be wasted because the boss wants them to be seasoned with salt and pepper.

After removing the duck bones, he carefully peeled off the skin from the duck neck.

The boss with 50 billion won’t eat it.

A chef needs to understand the boss's preferences and cannot just send everything to the boss.

The boss would never eat things like chicken butts, duck butts, chicken neck skin, and duck neck skin. If he sent them to him, it would seem a bit petty.

It was just right that he could cut it and put it into the soup made at noon at the base, which could be considered as a bit of meat.

After everything was done, the chef saw a row of children squatting in front of him and sighed, "Come and have a taste."

"Okay! Thank you, Chef Zheng!"

"Chef Zheng, you are such a good person!"

A piece of duck skin not even as big as a thumb can make these young people happy for a whole day.

As for the remaining duck skin, it was placed aside and no one touched it.

In theory, the duck skin and buttocks are the benefits of the chef's job. He can deal with them as he pleases, and no one would dare to say anything even if he takes them home to eat.

He can give it voluntarily, but they cannot ask for it voluntarily.

After all, he was going to resign and go home after receiving the 50 billion order, but the base wouldn't let him go, and he had no choice but to stay and cook two meals because he couldn't refuse.

At the beginning, the other chefs waiting for promotion didn’t understand the twists and turns involved. What was the point of keeping the chef for a vegetable soup and bean cake?

It would be better to give up the position and let them take over.

After working for a few days, I realized how cunning the person above me was.

Wubaiyi ignored them, but the chef stayed in the base cafeteria, so it would be bad to ignore them, right?

If we let them go, our relationship will become more and more distant. If they ever have any problems, it will be difficult for them to come to us for help, right?

When a chef takes an order, there are always some by-products such as chicken, duck and rabbit that are made by the way.

This old man used to like to feed stray cats and dogs with leftover vegetables from the kitchen. If he saw those soldiers, wouldn't he act the same way as if he saw stray dogs?

If we soften our hearts, won't those people in the base be able to get some meat and fish?

Although not much.

But that's just life.

Ride a bike to visit bars and save money where necessary.
