The next day.
The family went to the mountain city.
In the hot summer, Xiaomei and Xiaoya fell in love with "hot pot".
To be honest, from Rongcheng to the mountain city, there are countless kinds of food. Some of them are not even found on the menu, but they are delicious.
After eating and playing, Du Shaojie and others returned to Rongcheng again.
Wang Yuxiu bought a sleeper ticket alone and took the train directly home.
Du Shaojie took his two sisters to Chang'an. After playing for a few days, the three brothers and sisters went to Jinling together.
"Xiaomei, you accompany Xiaoya to report, and I will go around. When I'm done, I will go to Yangcheng with you."
The family's trip came to an end in Jinling. After Du Xiaomei settled her sister, she found that her brother was helping others set up a snack stall.
The stall owner was an old man in his 60s, and he was actually on good terms with Du Shaojie.
"Little girl, your brother is a very capable person. I have lived for more than 60 years, and I have never seen a chef better than him. Come, sit down first, and have a bowl of [Duck Blood Vermicelli] later."
The old man asked Du Shaojie to serve Xiaomei a bowl of [Duck Blood Vermicelli] and put it in front of Du Xiaomei.
Xiaomei looked at her brother in confusion, and then started to eat.
After one bite, she was completely conquered by the deliciousness. She had never thought that this bowl of [Duck Blood Vermicelli] would be so delicious.
Could it be that this is really the work of her brother?
"My little brother and I get along very well. He helped me to adjust the taste again, so that [Duck Blood Vermicelli] will be so delicious. You see, my business was very bad before, but now it is very good, isn't it?"
The old man and Du Shaojie met by chance. Although the skill levels of both sides were very different, their love for cooking was the same.
Du Shaojie learned a lot of stories about Jinling cuisine from the old man. At the same time, he also taught him some of his insights and skills about the dish [Duck Blood Vermicelli].
He now does things a little bit as he pleases, and he is very free and easy.
"Uncle Tang, goodbye."
After Xiaomei finished eating, Du Shaojie waved goodbye to the old man.
For him, helping the old man to adjust the taste again was just a piece of cake. But for the old man, it was a subversive change. At least, he could survive in this area.
"Is everything done?"
"Yes, Xiaoya is settled. Brother, should we wait two days before leaving?"
"Okay, you can treat Xiaoya's roommate to dinner in the evening, and I won't go, so that everyone won't feel comfortable."
"That won't work. Xiaoya will definitely not be happy. You have to go."
Du Shaojie and Xiaomei stayed in Jinling for a few more days. In addition to treating Xiaoya's roommate to dinner, the two spent the rest of the time wandering around Jinling.
It's a historical city, and there are many places worth seeing.
Then the two took the train to Guangzhou.
"You idiot, you are so leisurely all day long, and you don't even care about your own business."
Liao Yongxin saw Du Shaojie and couldn't help but persuade him. But no matter what he said, it all had a different taste. Fortunately, Du Shaojie had already gotten used to it.
"Master, I'm not idle. Things in Xijiang were finally sorted out."
Du Shaojie laughed and didn't argue with the other party.
[Xichuan Restaurant]'s business is as hot as ever. Private rooms need to be booked two days in advance, otherwise they will definitely not be available.
Liang Meiqin, Liao Yongxin, other chefs in the kitchen, and Chu Linlin and others have received soft bonuses in the past few months.
Du Shaojie never treats everyone unfairly in this regard. He gives as much as he deserves.
The salary of his employees is already higher than the average level in the industry. With the bonus, everyone's income will make many people envious even in the local area.
It's not just [Xichuan Restaurant], [Barbecue Restaurant] and [Seafood Restaurant] are the same.
"Shaojie, I've taken a fancy to a courtyard and want to buy it."
Liao Yongxin pondered for a moment and said hesitantly.
He felt very comfortable here, so he planned to settle down here. It's just that he gave all his savings to his children, and he didn't have much savings left.
It was a bit embarrassing to ask his apprentice to borrow money.
"That's great! Master, how much do you need? I'll give it to you."
Du Shaojie saw the problem at a glance and took the initiative to bring up the matter of money.
Liao Yongxin then said that he still needed 30,000 yuan. Du Shaojie took the time to give it to him, and he soon bought the house.
Weekend.
Du Shaojie went to the old street and had a barbecue with Xiaomei.
"Brother, we are about to do an internship, but I haven't thought about the problem of work after graduation. How about I continue to study for a master's degree like Sister Yan Zi, what do you think?"
The two chatted while eating, and Du Xiaomei talked about the problem of where to go after graduation.
There are choices, one is to return to the hometown, the second is to stay in Yangcheng, and the third is to continue to study for a master's degree.
Qi Yan graduated this year, and because the other party successfully got the recommendation quota, Du Xiaomei was very envious. She felt that she didn't have this ability, and if she wanted to study for a master's degree, she had to pass the exam.
"Then study for a master's degree, the family can afford it."
Du Shaojie smiled slightly. His sister didn't dare to think about the recommendation, but he dared to
think about it. He didn't spend much time with Qi Yan alone during the summer vacation. He probably understood her struggles, so he consciously distanced himself from her.
In addition, the family went on a trip later, so he didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that Qi Yan's continued postgraduate study is not a kind of escape.
"Alas, I have to suffer again."
Xiaomei smiled bitterly. For her, taking the postgraduate entrance examination is not an easy thing.
Du Shaojie then asked Xiaomei where she was going to intern. She replied that it was in the local area and the school had arranged it a long time ago.
The next day.
Du Shaojie went to the pharmacy to buy some high-end tonics and went to Director Luo's house.
"Shaojie, I was thinking about calling you these two days. Next week, a few old friends will come to Yangcheng to see me. I plan to entertain them at home. I wonder if you have time to show off your skills? In addition, Xiao Cai will come over too."
Director Luo was very happy to see Du Shaojie. After a few pleasantries, he made a request.
Du Shaojie naturally agreed. If it wasn't necessary, people wouldn't ask for such things.
As his cooking skills become more and more sophisticated, it is not easy to ask him to cook for him personally. Of course, as long as people like Director Luo and Cai Jing ask, he will definitely give face.
"Director Luo, please tell me the taste habits of the guests later, and I will arrange it."
"Then I'll trouble you, Shaojie. By the way, I remember that your sister is about to graduate. Where are you going after graduation?"
Then, Director Luo took the initiative to mention Du Xiaomei's graduation arrangements.
These days, the school has a relatively large say in this matter. Director Luo wanted to sell the other party on a good note.
"Thank you Director Luo for your concern! My sister doesn't want to work so early, and she wants to continue her studies."
"Oh? So you are going to continue to study for a master's degree? I will help you with this matter, and I will find her a place for recommendation anyway."
The two of them decided on Du Xiaomei's postgraduate study in a few words. You know, Xiaomei will hardly get this place even if she tries her best in school.
But for Director Luo, it's nothing more than a phone call.
Then, Director Luo told Du Shaojie about the food preferences of several old friends, and Du Shaojie probably had an idea in his mind.
On the day, Du Shaojie asked the purchasing staff of [Xichuan Restaurant] to deliver the required ingredients to Director Luo's house in advance. He went there after lunch and then started to prepare.
There were four guests in total, and Director Luo, Cai Jing and others just made up one table.
Du Shaojie prepared eight dishes and one soup. In addition to two cold dishes, there were six hot dishes and one soup.
The soup dish was [Old hen stewed with wild mushrooms], which he was good at, and the cold dishes were [roast duck] and [husband and wife lung slices]. The hot dishes included [boiled cabbage], [steamed grouper], [boiled shrimp], [elbow in sauce], [fried large intestine with sour radish] and [boiled beef].
For this meal, he did a lot of preparation in advance.
For example, the elbow was braised at [Xichuan Restaurant] early this morning and then delivered. For another example, [boiled cabbage], it took more than eight hours just to boil the clear soup in advance.
Therefore, although it seems to be a simple meal, Du Shaojie actually spent a lot of thought on it.
"Lao Luo, where did you hire this chef? He's really good!"
The guests were enjoying the meal and couldn't help but praise the chef.
"This is a friend of mine. I knew him when I was in Xijiang. He's very young, but he's already a top chef. I'm afraid his real level is no worse than those so-called masters."
Director Luo's face was very bright, and he couldn't help but briefly introduce Du Shaojie.
Cai Jing smiled, and today's dishes once again refreshed her understanding of Du Shaojie's cooking skills.
The other party is a demon. After not seeing him for a while, his skills will improve significantly.
"Lao Luo is right. This table of dishes is almost at the level of a state banquet."
Everyone was happy to eat, and all kinds of compliments came out casually.
If Du Shaojie was on the scene, he would probably be a little embarrassed. His cooking skills are indeed very good, but there is still some gap from the standard of a state banquet chef.
Director Luo was also very happy today, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
After the guests left, he wanted to chat with Du Shaojie, only to find that he had left with Cai Jing.
"Shaojie, the investment of Xiangjiang Qin Group has been finalized. Mr. Qin is going to invest in a five-star hotel in Shenzhen, covering hotels, catering and entertainment. You have made a great contribution in this matter. I don't know how to thank you."
Cai Jing has already signed a contract with Qin Mingcheng, so she specially thanked the hero behind the scenes.
The successful implementation of this project was due to Du Shaojie introducing Qin Lu to her, and then a series of subsequent events took place.
Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I just played a role of threading the needle at most. I dare not take credit for it, and you don't thank me."
Cai Jing looked at the other party for a long time, knowing that the other party was speaking the truth, and she stopped talking.
But she would remember this favor.
She knew Du Shaojie's preferences very well, and decided to wait and see for a while, and try to get another piece of land for the other party.
To be honest, Cai Jing was actually quite puzzled. Why did the other party, who was so young, have a special liking for real estate? (End of this chapter)
