Chapter 143 A new generation replaces the old.
Chen Jizhou is more open-minded. After New Year's Day, he and the leaders also tried to discuss the issue of "bonus". However, due to Huang Yicheng's firm opposition and the lack of clear documents from above, this matter had to be abandoned.
Then let's follow the old rules and hold the dinner before the Spring Festival.
"Master Liao, we are here."
After entering the cafeteria, Du Shaojie went directly to Liao Yongxin.
A large amount of ingredients were being carried to the back kitchen, while Liao Yongxin sat on the Diaoyutai, and it was the cafeteria manager Tang Li who was busy.
"Yes, I will help when I come. Xiao Du, what are their skills?"
"They are all apprentices who have just started working. Two of them have good knife skills and can cut ordinary vegetables."
"Then let the ones with good knife skills cut the vegetables, and the other three apprentices will wash the vegetables. Xiao Du, follow me."
Liao Yongxin immediately made arrangements. Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun helped cut the vegetables, while Deng Gang, Gao Guoqiang and Yang Li helped wash the vegetables.
Then, he called Du Shaojie aside and asked him to look at today's menu.
Du Shaojie took it and took a look, a little surprised: "The specifications are not low, Director Chen, isn't he afraid that someone will report him to the higher authorities and say that he is extravagant and wasteful?"
"What's the waste? In the end, it's all eaten by people, not dogs."
As soon as Liao Yongxin opened his mouth, Du Shaojie felt that this topic could not be discussed.
The old man was obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't know who had provoked him.
However, Du Shaojie immediately figured it out. It turned out that Liao Yongxin wanted to send two more skilled chefs to help, but only Du Shaojie came.
"Master Dong can't leave. If he leaves, won't the hotel's Chinese restaurant be shut down? After all, the level of the three kitchens is not good enough and can't handle it alone."
Du Shaojie quickly explained that it was not that Dong Yunxian was unwilling to come, but that he really couldn't leave.
After hearing this, Liao Yongxin's expression eased a little.
"It's not that I want to find fault, it's really that the two of us are too busy and will be exhausted!"
He was actually right. There were at least 30 tables for the banquet today. There were too many people to do odd jobs, but not enough chefs to cook.
Except for Liao Yongxin, the skills of other people in the canteen are not up to par.
"Is that so? Master Liao, why don't you go find Section Chief Wang and ask him to coordinate and invite a chef to cook."
Du Shaojie just came to help, and he didn't know a lot of things.
In fact, one person can still make 15 tables of banquets if he grits his teeth. He may be able to hold on when he is young, but Liao Yongxin is old, it is probably difficult.
So he gave the other party an idea, asking Wang Bin to come forward and try to invite Dong Yunxian.
"Yes, that's what we should do."
After listening, Liao Yongxin ran directly to Wang Bin and briefly explained the situation.
Wang Bin didn't dare to neglect it. If there was any problem with today's dinner, the board from above would definitely fall on him.
He immediately called Yao Liwen and clearly asked Dong Yunxian to help.
Yao Liwen couldn't refuse, so he had to grit his teeth and let Dong Yunxian put down the work at hand and rush to the canteen of the bureau.
Wang Xuejun had to take over the Chinese restaurant. Although Wang Xuejun was more inclined to administrative management, he was still a first-class chef.
But Wang Xuejun was very reluctant and cursed while working.
This made Yao Liwen's impression of him extremely bad.
Dong Yunxian rushed to the office cafeteria, and Liao Yongxin immediately became excited: "Old Dong, what do you think of the three of us? Should we cook 10 tables of dishes each, or each of us cook a few dishes?"
"Let's follow the old rules, each of us cook 10 tables of dishes. If there are one or two extra tables, give them to Xiao Du, and we won't compete with the young people."
Dong Yunxian smiled slightly and expressed his thoughts.
Liao Yongxin nodded, and the three of them started to get busy.
At noon, everyone walked into the cafeteria one after another. Liao Yongxin gave an order, and the kitchen began to serve the dishes.
First, there were four cold dishes, [Cold Jellyfish Shreds], [Braised Beef], [Fuqi Fei Slices], [Garlic Cucumber], and two steamed dishes [Steamed Pork with Rice Flour] and [Steamed Preserved Meat].
These dishes were prepared in advance. For example, the steamed pork with rice flour was steamed in the pot early in the morning, and the heat was just right at this moment.
Du Shaojie, Liao Yongxin and Dong Yunxian started to heat the pot, and then they cooked their own dishes.
[Green Beans and Shrimp], [Stir-fried Kidney Flower], [Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin], [Braised Carp], [Boiled Beef] and other dishes were served on the table one by one, and the atmosphere of the banquet soon reached its peak.
To be honest, it is difficult for everyone to have the opportunity to eat so many delicious dishes at ordinary times.
Liao Yongxin, Dong Yunxian and Du Shaojie are all very good at cooking, and each has its own merits. The three of them were on the same stage, and each of them tried their best. Otherwise, if they were outdone by others, it would be so embarrassing.
Everyone ate and praised it. Zhai Yucheng was very curious and went around looking for people to drink with. By the way, he also tasted the dishes made by the three chefs, but he couldn't tell the difference.
In short, it was delicious. You can't eat such delicious food at ordinary times.
Zhai Yucheng returned to his original seat and sat down, and told Chen Jizhou about his discovery: "Xiao Du is amazing now. I went to ask around, and he, Master Liao, and Master Dong each cooked 10 tables of dishes, and I just couldn't tell who was better."
Chen Jizhou immediately laughed: "So, Xiao Du has really grown up. Even if his level is slightly lower than the two old comrades, he should be on the same level."
Even laymen can see the trick, and Liao Yongxin and Dong Yunxian are even more impressed.
Especially Dong Yunxian, although he stays with Du Shaojie every day, it is the first time he has seen the other party show his cooking skills without reservation. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was old, and a sense of "hero's twilight" surged in his heart.
"Old Dong, don't fight yourself. Xiao Du is a freak. Over the years, I have witnessed his growth with my own eyes. Not to mention you, even I sometimes have doubts about myself. Fortunately, there is only one freak like this, otherwise we would have no chance to make it."
Liao Yongxin saw something from Dong Yunxian's face, so he smiled and pulled him away to drink.
Du Shaojie didn't understand why, so he cleaned up and went to eat.
The meal lasted until the afternoon, and everyone was very satisfied. Du Shaojie, Liao Yongxin and Dong Yunxian also received countless praises and thanks.
"Master Dong, you chat with Master Liao for a while, I'm going back to the hotel now."
Du Shaojie was full and drank, so he hurriedly rode back to the Chinese restaurant.
Huang Tingting and others didn't leave, and they had to help clean up the mess.
Du Shaojie came to the kitchen of the Chinese restaurant and saw Wang Xuejun busy with a dark face. He hurried forward and said, "Chef Wang, let me do it"
"Where is Master Dong?"
Wang Xuejun turned his head and saw Du Shaojie, and his face eased a little.
"Master Dong will be back soon. I will take care of the dinner. You can do your own things."
Du Shaojie took over the preparations for dinner. Wang Xuejun nodded and turned to leave the kitchen.
Later, someone told Du Shaojie about what happened at noon. Chef Wang replaced Du Shaojie and Dong Yunxian to cook. Although his skills were a little rusty, there was no problem.
Du Shaojie smiled and did not express his opinion.
Anyway, he would definitely not do it if he was asked to be the executive chef. As a chef, you make a living by your skills. You can never give up your skills, otherwise you will lose sight of the main thing.
When I got home from work, Xiaomei and Xiaoya immediately surrounded me and took out their final exam transcripts.
Xiaomei's total score ranked 39th in the whole grade, and Xiaoya's total score ranked 2nd in the whole grade. These two sisters, absolute academic masters, made Du Shaojie very proud.
"Brother, we are on winter vacation. However, our second year of high school will start school early next semester."
The annual winter vacation is coming, Xiaoya seems very happy, but Xiaomei can't relax.
Xiaomei will take the college entrance examination this summer. There is less than half a year left. Of course, she is very nervous.
Du Shaojie thinks that appropriate tension is necessary. Being too relaxed is not conducive to the big exam. Now he orders two bottles of milk every month, and there are never any eggs at home.
Every day, he has to ensure that each of his two sisters has a bottle of milk and two eggs. Forget about royal jelly, but I don’t know if it is useful.
He will bring back the ordered milk when he goes out for a run every morning. It is not the milk packaged in paper boxes in later generations, but milk packaged in glass bottles.
When he goes to get milk every day, he has to return the empty bottle from the previous day.
"You all did well in the exam. I will make pickled fish for you when I rest."
Du Shaojie's reward is simple and crude, that is, to use food as a prize.
The two sisters immediately cheered up. They can eat different delicacies again. Happy!
"You just spoil them! You two, stop arguing with your brother, let him rest for a while."
Wang Yuxiu saw that the two girls were making too much noise, and drove them into the house directly.
Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head. He went to talk to Xiaomei and Xiaoya for a while before lying down to rest.
As usual, he took stock of today's gains. Although there was no new breakthrough, he gained a lot of exchange points and time.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Level 1 chef]
[Current works: Green beans and shrimp, stir-fried kidney, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised carp, boiled beef, fish-flavored pork shreds]
[Overall evaluation: above or below]
[Bonus: Simulated chef skills competition time (360 hours)]

[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 1321 points\1350 points]
[Time: 4380 hours\29376 hours]
"Xiaojie, you're not asleep yet?"
At this time, Wang Yuxiu knocked on the door and walked in.
Du Shaojie put away the screen and stood up, "Mom, tell me what's the matter."
Wang Yuxiu sat down on the stool and said, "The New Year is coming soon, and I want to live in the old house for a while. It's nothing else, just for the fun of it. After all, we have been neighbors for many years, and it's a good time to visit each other during the New Year."
Du Shaojie understood as soon as he heard it, Wang Yuxiu wanted to spend the New Year in the old house.
That courtyard was left by his father. In his mother's heart, that was her home, and the new house belonged to her son. When her son got married, the three of them would definitely move out.
"Okay, Xiaomei and the others happened to be on vacation too, so take some time to go back and clean up in the next two days."
Du Shaojie could understand his mother's feelings. The old house carried too many memories of the other party, and she couldn't let it go.
