Chapter 154 Commissioned
Articles Dishes are the most vulnerable to comparison. Those who like them can naturally tell the difference.
Some customers bought them with the mentality of trying them out, but once they tasted them, they were conquered by the deliciousness.
The taste is moderately spicy and rich in fragrance. After a bite, you can't stop eating.
Word of mouth is established in this way. Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The [Spicy Chicken] window of the Chinese restaurant in Guangyuan Hotel also began to line up.
Huang Tingting learned very quickly, and Xiao Jianjun was also good. After a few days, the two of them could operate on their own. Du Shaojie was very confident in them. In addition to frying spices and boiling sauces, he let them do the rest.
"Master Du, someone is looking for you outside."
Everyone is now used to someone coming to see Du Shaojie from time to time. After all, they are young people. Who doesn't have a few friends, right?
Du Shaojie just finished his work, changed his clothes and ran out.
He probably knew who was looking for him. When he went out, he saw that it was Qi Yan.
"Shaojie, are you off work? The reporter from the newspaper is interviewing Meiqin. They said they will interview her classmates and friends later. Let's go and help."
The interview was something they had agreed to do before. After waiting for so long, it finally happened today.
Du Shaojie nodded, then took his bicycle and rushed to Liang Meiqin's house with Qi Yan.
The reporter was a woman in her twenties, wearing glasses and looking very capable. When they met, they found that the other's eyes were a little red, obviously moved by Liang Meiqin's deeds.
Qi Yan and Du Shaojie talked about Liang Meiqin from the side, which could better set off the heroic characters, make the reporter's report more flesh and blood, and more easily resonate with readers.
"Xiao Du, Xiao Qi, thank you. By the way, what does Xiao Du do? I see that you have clear thinking and speak in an orderly manner. Are you also a college student like Xiao Qi?"
The reporter's surname is Cui. She knew Qi Yan's identity as a college student, but she didn't know Du Shaojie's identity.
After the interview, Cui Lingling first thanked the two, and then asked curiously.
"I'm a chef, currently working in the Chinese restaurant of Guangyuan Hotel, the Electric Power Industry Bureau."
Du Shaojie responded with a smile.
"Chef? Sorry, I made a mistake. Xiao Du is young and promising, so he must have already graduated."
Perhaps it was a professional habit, Cui Lingling trusted her own vision too much, and just after stepping into one pit, she immediately stepped into another pit.
Qi Yan couldn't help curling her lips and said, "Shaojie has already graduated. He is now a first-class chef and also the winner of the special prize in the National Youth (Chef) Skills Competition."
"Sorry, sorry."
Cui Lingling felt a little embarrassed, but after all, she was a reporter, and her ability to adapt to changes was quite strong.
"Master Du, our newspaper is going to add a new life column, which includes "Food Chat" and "One Dish a Week". Master Du is an expert in this field, and you are welcome to contribute to the newspaper."
"Okay, okay."
Cui Lingling shook hands with Du Shaojie and others one by one, and then said goodbye and left.
Back at the newspaper, she began to work overtime to sort out the manuscript and show it to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief was very interested in this report and asked Cui Lingling to verify it with the army as soon as possible. If there was no problem, it could be published
in the newspaper. A few days later, Cui Lingling's long report was published in the newspaper.
The report resonated strongly with everyone, and Liang Meiqin was invited to give several reports, which also achieved great success.
Her work was soon implemented, and she was given a sinecure in the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation. She did not have to go to work every day, and her salary and benefits were not reduced.
That afternoon.
Du Shaojie was still busy in the kitchen when Cui Lingling suddenly came to his door.
"Reporter Cui, thank you for your report, which helped Meiqin find a job. You came to see me, is there something?"
"Xiao Du, you don't have to be polite with me, that's what I should do. Compared with the efforts of Comrade Liang Meiqin, what we do is insignificant.
I came to see you today to ask you for an article on behalf of Editor He of the newspaper. Last time I told you that I hope you can contribute to "Food Talk" and "One Dish a Week", but you may have forgotten because you are busy."
Cui Lingling came here today to ask Du Shaojie for an article on behalf of her colleague. The new column has been opened, but the number and quality of submissions are not good.
She feels that Du Shaojie is different. She can feel it from the way he speaks. He is not only a good cook but also has "something" in his stomach. Therefore, she came here specially today to bring up the old matter.
"I'm sorry, reporter Cui, I'm really busy recently. Let's do this, I will try to write two articles when I get home from work today. I can't guarantee the quality. If it can be used, I will use it, if it can't be used, I will throw it away."
Du Shaojie has a lot of things to do recently.
He sent Liao Yongxin away a few days ago. The [Spicy Chicken] sold in the restaurant has been very popular these days. In addition to his normal work, he also has to help Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun cook chicken, so he is almost busy during the day.
He has to spend more time with his family at night, because Xiaomei will soon report to school. In addition, he cannot neglect Qi Yan, because she will also start school soon.
He also has to find time to visit Wang Liwen and Liang Meiqin from time to time, and he cannot fall behind in simulation training and competitions. He has been so busy that
he has forgotten about submitting his manuscript. However, he has a good impression of Cui Lingling. Since she has come to him, he will of course agree.
"Then I'll trouble Master Du. I'll come again tomorrow at noon. Just give me the manuscript then."
Cui Lingling is very straightforward in speaking and doing things. After finishing her business, she turned around and left.
Du Shaojie stood there for a while, thinking, this reporter Cui is more ruthless than Zhou Paopi, and he wants to see the manuscript tomorrow after he finishes his speech today.
So let's write it!
When he got home in the evening, he quickly finished his meal and then lay on the table to write the manuscript.
Xiaomei was very curious. Why did her brother hold a pen with his hands, which usually held a kitchen knife or a large spoon?
"Brother is writing a story. I just took a few peeks. It can't be wrong."
Xiaoya told her sister mysteriously. In fact, what she said was both right and wrong.
Du Shaojie first wrote "One dish a week", which is the home-cooked method of [Spicy Chicken]. Then he wrote "Miscellaneous talks about food", briefly describing the origin of [Spicy Chicken], and added a small story he heard about it.
His writing is still good. You know, when he told stories on the farm, he attracted countless men, women, old and young.
After some revisions, the two manuscripts were completed.
"Xiaomei, help me check if there are any mistakes or omissions. If not, you can copy a copy now. I need it tomorrow."
Du Shaojie then found an excuse to ask Xiaomei to help copy.
Xiaomei happily agreed, mainly because she wanted to see what story her brother wrote.
Xiaoya also came behind her. The two sisters were surprised when they saw it. They had never thought that their brother's writing style was quite good, the writing was concise and fluent, and the narrative was fascinating.
"Brother is really amazing!"
The two sisters gave a heartfelt praise. They usually didn't have the opportunity to see this side of their brother. To be honest, they didn't know what else their brother couldn't do.
At noon the next day.
Cui Lingling came to the Chinese restaurant as promised and met Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie gave the two copied manuscripts to the other party. The other party quickly browsed through them and was very surprised.
"Master Du, your penmanship is really beautiful, and the text is also very beautiful. I think Editor He will definitely like it."
Cui Lingling was overjoyed and ran away with the manuscript.
Back at the newspaper office, she handed the manuscript to He Yuting. He Yuting is a young editor who is very close to Cui Lingling. She couldn't help but smile happily after reading the manuscript.
"Sister Ling, thank you for helping me. Alas, maybe I am too young. I have never been able to get a high-quality manuscript. This has solved a big problem."
He Yuting went to the leader for review without saying a word. The review of this kind of article is very fast. The leader signed it after reading it once, and it can be sent out tomorrow.
Du Shaojie gave himself a pen name "Ajie", which was very casual, but it sounded quite friendly.
This was just a small episode, and he forgot about it afterwards.
In the next few days, Du Shaojie took advantage of the lunch break and the afternoon when he was not busy to take Xiaomei to start a large-scale shopping.
"Let me tell you, Guangzhou is humid and hot, so you need to prepare more clothes for summer. The bedding does not need to be too thick, but you must have a towel blanket. In addition, you can buy cool mats, mosquito nets, etc. when you arrive at school."
Things need to be bought one by one. After buying sheets and clothes, he took Xiaomei to the department store.
Du Shaojie promised his sister that he would buy her a watch after she passed the college entrance examination. Xiaomei looked at the counter and chose the "SH" brand watch.
Among them, the "SH" full steel shockproof 21-jewel watch is 125 yuan, and the half-steel 19-jewel watch is 120 yuan. The second hand with a red scissors is 125 yuan, and the one without a red scissors is 120 yuan.
The price difference is not big, Du Shaojie asked the salesperson to issue a receipt, and then paid 125 yuan.
Xiaomei put the new watch on her wrist, looked left and right, and was very happy.
Afterwards, Du Shaojie took Xiaomei to buy a pair of Warrior shoes and a pair of sandals, and the two returned home with large and small bags.
According to Du Shaojie's idea, he planned to send Xiaomei to school in person, but these days are not like later generations. Almost few parents do this. Generally, students go to school to register by themselves.
As a result, even Wang Yuxiu couldn't stand it: "Xiaojie, you are too pampering to them. You have to go to work, how long does it take to go back and forth? Just let her go to school by herself."
"Brother, it's okay. In addition to the students in our class who were admitted to Zhongda, there are also students who were admitted to Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Institute of Engineering) and HN Normal University (Teachers College). You can make an appointment to go together, and you can take care of each other on the way."
No. 1 Middle School is worthy of being the best middle school in the city. This time, the college entrance examination won a great victory.
Not to mention other things, there are three people who were admitted to Zhongda alone, and there are more than a dozen people who were admitted to HN Institute of Engineering and HN Normal College. Some
classmates came to Xiaomei before, and wanted everyone to make an appointment to go together.
"Okay, but you must pay attention to safety during the journey. Don't relax after getting off the train, especially pay attention to the Yangcheng Railway Station, which is a messy place. Go to the new student reception office as soon as you get out of the station, understand?"
Du Shaojie nagging for a long time, and finally agreed that Xiaomei and her classmates should go together.
