Chapter 155 News from Hong Kong
In the past few years until the early 1980s, the problem of social security could not be ignored.
The large number of educated youth, unemployed youth, and idle people returning to the city created a huge employment pressure. It is indeed necessary to pay attention to safety when going out.
Du Xiaomei listened very carefully and kept her brother's instructions in mind.
Qi Yan and Xiaomei left their hometown one after another, one went to Beijing and the other went to Guangzhou.
After seeing them off one after another, Du Shaojie suddenly felt empty in his heart.
Qi Yan cried on the platform, and Xiaomei cried loudly on the platform. He didn't like this feeling of separation.
The same was true for Wang Yuxiu and Xiaoya, especially Xiaoya. After her sister left, she didn't smile for several days.
The two sisters have been together since they were young and have never been separated.
"Master Du, can you work overtime at noon? Today's [Spicy Chicken] sold out early, and the customers who came later were very dissatisfied and insisted that we sell some more in the afternoon."
[Spicy Chicken] was unexpectedly popular. Although [Big Plate of Chicken Belt Noodles] and [Cold Noodles] sold very well, they were far from being so exaggerated.
Dong Yunxian had no choice but to discuss with Du Shaojie.
[Spicy Chicken] was made by Du Shaojie, and even the recipe was his own. So he had the final say on this matter, and no one else had the right to say anything.
"Okay, then let Deng Gang, Gao Guoqiang, and Yang Li come to help."
Du Shaojie originally planned to visit Wang Liwen at noon, but he had to work overtime, so he naturally couldn't go.
He then began to prepare various spices, and Huang Tingting, Xiao Jianjun and other five people went to handle the ingredients. After the spices were prepared, they were immediately fried, then crushed and put into the material bag.
This was the requirement put forward by Dong Yunxian and Zhong Fuxiang to him, and it was imperative to ensure that the recipe was not leaked.
Another point is that the two masters are protecting Du Shaojie's personal rights. It's okay for you to help the restaurant develop, but there is no need to contribute your own "secret recipe".
Everyone thinks that Du Shaojie got the "secret recipe" through some means, and will never believe that he researched it himself.
In fact, the recipe used in the restaurant now can only be regarded as the "second generation", and the recipe in Du Shaojie's hand has evolved to the "third generation".
At noon, another 100 chickens were made. Fortunately, the stewing time of [Pepper and Spicy Chicken] is not long, so it can be sold in the afternoon when work starts.
When the window was opened in the afternoon, there were already more than a dozen customers queuing outside. In fact, business is like this. The more people queue up, the more people buy, and they get angry if they can't buy it.
As a result, the 100 [Dezhou Braised Chicken] made overtime were completely sold out in less than three hours.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie counted the recent gains. A total of 25 dishes (times) received a comprehensive evaluation of "up and down", of which [Pepper and Spicy Chicken] received 10 "up and down" comprehensive evaluations.
[Bound Chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: First-level Chef]
[Current Works: Pepper Chicken, etc. (×25)]
[Overall Rating: Up and Down]
[Bonus: Duration of Simulated Chef Skills Competition (1500 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange Points (150 points), Simulated Training Duration (1500 hours)]
[Special Reward: None]
[Exchange Points: 2287 points\2316 points]
[Duration: 4000 hours\37176 hours]
Du Shaojie feels that the overall evaluation of this dish is about to break through. In addition, the [Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin] and [Beef Stew] that he has been cooking more recently are also expected to break through.
However, he has been spinning in circles in the Simulated Chef Skills Competition (Group B2). He can enter the semi-finals, but he can't go any further.
In the semi-finals of the Simulated Competition (Group B2) yesterday, Du Shaojie drew the dish [Longjing Shrimp] again, but he didn't cook as well as his opponent and could only lose regretfully.
After he entered the simulation scene today, he did not participate in the competition, but went directly to simulated training.
【Longjing Shrimp】, 【Steamed Scallops with Garlic Vermicelli】, 【Salt and Pepper Lobster】, the training content is these three seafood dishes. While practicing, he asked the master for advice. Before he knew it, he had consumed 30 hours.
After exiting, he went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
He still lives in the new house. Wang Yuxiu and Xiaoya have not moved back yet. Du Shaojie plans to buy a monthly bus ticket for Xiaoya tomorrow. The student monthly ticket is 3 yuan a month, with no limit on the number of rides.
With the monthly ticket, Xiaoya can take the bus to and from No. 1 Middle School and Chunfeng Lane, saving some time every day.
"Bang, bang, bang"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Du Shaojie walked over and opened the door. It turned out to be Wang Liwen.
"Sister Liwen, I'm sorry, I didn't come to see you because I had to work overtime at noon. Come in and sit, I'll make you some tea."
"No, I just want to go out for a walk. If you have nothing else to do, how about we go to a movie?"
In addition to work, Wang Liwen also has to study every day.
Being a doctor is a very hard job, which perfectly reflects the spirit of never giving up learning. Moreover, she has other ideas, so she can't relax.
But today's learning efficiency is very poor, so she just comes out to relax.
"Let's go."
Without saying anything, Du Shaojie went downstairs with Wang Liwen.
Not far away was the "Peace Cinema". The two walked over and saw that the movie was not scheduled for the right time. Either it had already started for a while, or they had to wait for a long time.
There were fewer shows in the cinema now, and there were no night shows.
Wang Liwen didn't care. She took Du Shaojie to the stall to buy some "noodles and lungs", and then went to her residence.
After entering the house, Wang Liwen took out a bottle of wine and poured a glass for each of them.
"Shaojie, it's great. I didn't expect you to be a versatile person. I read the article you published in the newspaper. It's very well written. But you didn't tell me about such a big thing. Isn't it nice?"
Wang Liwen said, turning her head to look at the desk.
There was a pile of English books in the corner of the desk, and an evening newspaper was spread out on the table. This issue of the newspaper published two articles by Du Shaojie, one "Gourmet Talk" and one "One Dish a Week".
Du Shaojie had naturally read this newspaper, but he didn't promote it at work, so others didn't know.
"Sister Liwen, you are amazing! How can you be sure that I wrote this?"
The manuscript was signed "Ajie". He had not told Wang Liwen about this. How did the other party know about it?
Du Shaojie was very curious.
"Editor He came to see me for a medical consultation. She knew that I had worked in the Electric Power Industry Bureau. She asked me if I knew you that day. Ajie, this pen name is not very good, hahaha."
Wang Liwen said that she knew about this through He Yuting, and then laughed at his naming skills.
Du Shaojie scratched his head, but it didn't matter. He didn't make a living by writing. It was the best thing for him to write a manuscript occasionally. Whatever his name was, it didn't matter.
"By the way, Shaojie, I have another thing to talk to you about today. There is news about Yu Mo."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Liwen put down her glass and didn't plan to continue drinking.
She looked at Du Shaojie and suddenly mentioned Yu Mo.
Du Shaojie had a deep memory of the woman who almost brought Wang Liwen to jail. He secretly sent her to the county bus station, and there was no news of her after that.
"Has Yu Mo contacted you? Where is she now?"
"She asked someone to bring me a letter, which went through several places, and finally it was Chief Wang who delivered the letter to me. Yu Mo is now in Hong Kong, and she wants me to go to Guangzhou around National Day, so that we can meet then."
The letter didn't say much, Yu Mo only said that she had found her uncle, and everything was fine in Hong Kong.
Wang Liwen hadn't made a decision about the meeting, and she was also discussing it with Du Shaojie.
"The matter of the year has been re-concluded, so the crime that Yu Mo carried no longer exists. It's up to you. If you don't hate her, it's okay to meet her."
After these years, Du Shaojie's resentment towards Yu Mo has basically dissipated.
He didn't object to Wang Liwen meeting her. Some grudges are the product of specific historical conditions. As time
goes by, there is no need to hold a grudge against them. "Okay, I'll see when the time comes. Shaojie, if you have time, can you accompany me? You are also one of the parties involved in that incident, and you can also go to see Xiaomei."
Wang Liwen smiled with relief. She never held a grudge against Yu Mo, and their relationship did not deteriorate.
After finding out Du Shaojie's attitude, she wanted to take him to Guangzhou together. For this reason, she even mentioned Du Xiaomei.
"I'll see what the situation is. If I have time, it would be nice to accompany you and see Xiaomei by the way."
Du Shaojie did not agree or refuse, but only said that he would see when the time came.
Wang Liwen smiled sweetly, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at him.
The next day.
From the morning, a long line formed at the [Spicy Chicken] window.
"What's going on?"
Dong Yunxian couldn't figure out the situation, so he sent someone out to ask, and found out that it was because a few days ago, the newspaper published "Food Talk" and "One Dish a Week", focusing on the introduction of [Spicy Chicken].
The tofu-sized article aroused the interest of many people.
The author of the article, "Ajie", is also a wonderful person. At the end of the "Food Talk", he mentioned the [Spicy Chicken] in the Chinese restaurant of Guangyuan Hotel, saying that it tastes good.
To be honest, Du Shaojie's manuscript has obvious traces of "soft articles", which may not be approved in the future. But now, everyone has not realized this, so it plays a considerable role.
"Ajie?"
Dong Yunxian's mind turned quickly, and he turned his head to look at Du Shaojie, thinking.
However, he did not ask the other party immediately, but he had an idea in his mind.
Du Shaojie found that he seemed to have set a trap for himself. According to the situation today, he must work overtime at noon. Fortunately, Huang Tingting and a few others are now responsible for this matter, and there are enough people.
In the afternoon, even the leaders of the bureau came to take a look.
They heard that the [Spicy Chicken] in the hotel's Chinese restaurant was very popular, so they wanted to see it.
Of course, this was not the key point. The key point was that Chen Jizhou, Huang Yicheng and others had new ideas in their minds.
