Afternoon.
Du Shaojie arrived at Director Luo's house in advance.
"Xiao Du, you're here really early. Xiao Cai will be here later. You should take a rest first."
"Director Luo, I can't stay idle. How about I go to the kitchen to take a look? I think you haven't eaten my cooking for several years. How about I show you my cooking skills today?"
Du Shaojie was actually very grateful to Director Luo. The other party helped him a lot. It was only right for him to take this opportunity to cook a few dishes that the other party liked.
Director Luo couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
"Xiao Du, Xiao Du, you know me well and know that I am greedy. To be honest, you are a guest today, so I can't ask you to cook. If it were another occasion, I would have asked you to cook long ago."
Director Luo was not a hypocritical person. As soon as Du Shaojie said that, he quickly took the other party to the kitchen.
The nanny was confused.
"This is Chef Du. You help him and see how he cooks."
After Director Luo made the arrangements, Du Shaojie started to work in the kitchen.
Cai Jing arrived later and came in to look at him. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were always smiling. If it were her, she would definitely be embarrassed to do this. How could she invite someone to dinner and ask him to cook?
But Director Luo was different. She had known for a long time that Director Luo had always treated Du Shaojie as his own son or nephew.
There were not many dishes in the evening, six dishes and one soup.
The hot dishes included [Daqian Dry-fried Fish], [Green Onion and Ginger Hairy Crab], [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork], [White-cut Chicken], [Vegetarian Assorted], and [Longjing Shrimp].
The soup was the most ordinary [Zhacai Shredded Pork Soup].
"Xiao Du, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your cooking skills are completely different from the past. These dishes are exquisite. Even if you go to a big restaurant in Guangzhou, you may not be able to reach this level. Come on, everyone, have a drink."
Director Luo tasted a few bites of the dishes and felt very surprised.
All kinds of delicious flavors exploded on his taste buds, leaving him with endless aftertaste.
Fortunately, he did not forget his duties as the host and took the lead in raising a glass of wine.
"Chef Du, why don't you come back to Shenzhen with me? Although the Special Zone is now in a state of rapid development, its future development will definitely exceed your imagination. With your skills, you will definitely become one of the first to get rich after working there for a few years."
Cai Jing is very optimistic about Du Shaojie. She is not fooling him, because that's what she thinks.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Director Cai to find me a piece of land. I'll build a three-story building and use it to open a restaurant in the future. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as you, Director Cai, go to eat, it's definitely free."
Du Shaojie smiled slightly and bowed to Cai Jing.
He was not joking either. As a thousand-year-old ancient city, Guangzhou has very strict self-built house cards. But as a new city under development, Shenzhen still has hope of getting land as long as it is not in the city center.
"Master Du, this is what you said. Don't worry, if you are willing to come to Shenzhen, I will take care of this matter."
Cai Jing couldn't help but smile. She heard Feng Qingsong say that Du Shaojie prefers real estate, especially shops.
She also realized that the other party was not joking, and she planned to ask someone after she returned.
The three of them talked happily, and before they knew it, a bottle of Maotai was empty.
"Director Luo, let's stop here today, and you should rest early. Master Du, where do you live? I'll take you there."
Everyone was having a good time, so Cai Jing got up and said goodbye.
She brought a car with her to Yangcheng this time, so she could just take Du Shaojie back.
Du Shaojie didn't refuse and took the other party's ride back to his residence.
"Master Du, you will stay in Yangcheng for so long, you must take time to visit me. But you are not living in the guesthouse now, it will be inconvenient for us to find you."
Cai Jing did not enter the yard, but stood at the door and talked to Du Shaojie for a while.
This area is an old street, and the living conditions are relatively poor. She frowned when she saw it. It is estimated that Du Shaojie rented this house to be closer to the school, otherwise he would not have chosen this place.
After hearing what Cai Jing said, Du Shaojie slapped his forehead, he had forgotten about this before.
There is a small shop not far away with a public phone, and people also called for help. He gave the phone number to Director Luo, but he forgot to give it to Cai Jing because he was busy.
He quickly told Cai Jing the phone number, and the other party got in the car and left.
At night.
He took stock of today's gains.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Special Level 3 chef]
[Current works: Daqian dry-fried fish, Longjing shrimp]
[Overall evaluation: delicious]
[Bonus: Simulated chef skills competition duration (4000 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange points (400 points), simulated training duration (4000 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 5418 points\5666 points]
[Duration: 17100 hours\78996 hours]
Du Shaojie didn't consume much time during this period, and the remaining time seemed relatively abundant again.
After drinking today, she took a shower and went to bed.
The next day.
In the morning, Du Shaojie washed up and went out to buy groceries.
There are many breakfast stalls on the street. He has been to one of them several times and thinks its rice noodle rolls are delicious.
"Boss, give me a rice noodle roll with eggs and meat."
"Please sit down, it will be ready soon."
Du Shaojie's taste is heavier, but there is hot sauce on the table, so he can add some.
After dinner, he went to the vegetable market.
He bought beef bones, beef ribs, whole chicken, white radish and green vegetables. There are still onions, ginger and garlic in the house, and there are also ham and dried seafood left. Then he went to buy a few medicinal herbs, which were recommended by Dr. Lin. They are good for recovery when stewed with soup.
In fact, most people in Guangdong Province have a unique skill in making soup. For example, the landlord Uncle Chai always likes to mention "old fire soup".
"Ajie, are you back from buying groceries? What soup are you going to make today?"
"Uncle Chai, I bought beef bones and chicken today."
The landlord also lives in the same yard. There are not many tenants in his house, so it is not so messy.
The two greeted each other, and Du Shaojie went upstairs to start working. It takes a little longer to stew the soup. Chicken racks and beef bones are used to stew the soup. The removed chicken can also be used to make a dish called [Kung Pao Chicken].
Near noon, the soup was also stewed, and Du Shaojie ran to the school to pick up Du Xiaomei.
"Brother, the dishes today are really delicious."
Du Xiaomei saw her brother's hard work and was still very moved.
Especially the dishes made by her brother, which are many times more delicious than those in the school cafeteria. This sigh is really not flattery.
Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head, just in time to see Uncle Chai walking to the door.
"Are you eating?"
"Uncle Chai, come in and sit. I'll serve you a bowl of soup, you try it."
Du Shaojie and the landlord are also familiar with each other. He got up to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks and served a bowl of soup with a few beef ribs in it, and the meat is very thick.
Uncle Chai was not polite, he sat down and started eating, and then showed an incredible look.
You know, he often taught Du Shaojie how to stew soup these two days, and he didn't expect that what he made was so delicious.
"Very delicious! Ajie, you are not a chef, are you? A simple pot of soup is not something that ordinary people can make."
Although Uncle Chai's cooking skills are ordinary, he loves to eat, and his family conditions are good, so eating out is a common thing.
So he can see a lot from a bowl of soup, and his vision is very sharp.
"Thank you Uncle Chai for the compliment, I am really a chef."
There is no need to hide this, Du Shaojie has always been proud of his profession.
"The dishes are also very delicious! Ajie, with your skills, you can make a lot of money by opening a food stall. Uncle Chai, I have a ready-made storefront. I used to run a restaurant. Everything is complete. How about renting it to you at a low price?"
Uncle Chai then tasted the [Kung Pao Chicken] and the vegetables, and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
He quickly finished a bowl of soup and ate the beef ribs cleanly.
Putting down his chopsticks, he rolled his eyes a few times and came up with an idea. He also has several shops on the street, one of which was rented to someone else to open a food stall. A few days ago, the man couldn't continue to do it, and ran away after owing several months of rent.
Recently, it has not been rented out yet, so he asked Du Shaojie if he was willing to take over.
Uncle Chai did not care about the rent, mainly because Du Shaojie's cooking was so delicious, he was embarrassed to come to eat for free, so he came up with this idea.
"Uncle Chai, you know my situation, I can't stay here for long, I have to leave when my sister's injury is healed."
Don't say it, Du Shaojie was really tempted when he heard it.
The stove and stove in the rental house are not good, it would be nice to have a place to practice, but it's a pity that he can't stay in Guangzhou for too long.
"It doesn't matter if the time is short, just pay for one month's rent. Don't worry, the rent will definitely be cheap, and you can make a profit by selling some snacks, which is more convenient than cooking here."
Uncle Chai finally succeeded in convincing Du Shaojie, nothing else, just for convenience.
It's troublesome to cook in a rental house, either lacking this or that, and the kitchen is also very small. It can be made up, since there is a better place, it's okay to rent it for a month, just as a convenience for myself to practice.
After dinner, he sent Xiaomei back to school first, and then followed Uncle Chai to see the storefront.
The storefront is very close to the rental house, about five minutes' walk, and there is a lot of traffic. The back kitchen is quite spacious, with all the utensils, and the dining area is less than 40 square meters.
"You can set up a table at the door at night, no one will care. The key is that you have to think about what to do, and you won't lose money if you have your own characteristics."
Uncle Chai threw the key to Du Shaojie and left without even signing a contract.
The rent is cheaper than outside, and neither of them cares about a few hundred yuan, so a verbal agreement will be fine.
"What to make?"
Du Shaojie can make a lot of dishes and snacks, but he doesn't have time to try them one by one. It's best to suit the tastes of local people. Local people basically don't eat spicy food, and their taste is relatively light.
Finally, he decided to try to make [Boiled Chicken].
[Boiled Chicken] is a classic Cantonese dish, which tests the chef's control of the heat and seasoning. But these are not difficult for Du Shaojie, the key is to save trouble.
Then he started cleaning, and today's dinner was also made here.
At night, he also conducted simulation training, mainly to study seasoning, so as to better suit the tastes of local people. (End of this chapter)
