Chapter 256 Are you a chef or a butcher?
It has been a long time since we last met. When we came to Du Shaojie's private kitchen again, we couldn't help but sigh that his cooking skills had made great progress.
Moreover, they didn't recognize half of the dishes on the table.
Du Shaojie introduced everyone and specifically told the stories and changes of these old dishes.
"Shaojie, you always surprise everyone. Come on, don't just eat. I'll raise a glass of wine, and drink it!"
Cai Jing sighed, and then clinked glasses with everyone.
After Qin Lu had eaten and drunk her fill, she said goodbye in advance with a tactful look. She was actually a little uncomfortable sitting here. There was nothing else, she felt that she was out of tune with everyone.
Of course, this did not include Du Shaojie.
After Qin Lu left, Cai Jing and Liu Ying and others talked more casually.
Du Shaojie just listened with a smile and didn't interrupt. He was not unfamiliar with things in the system, but he was not very interested.
"Shaojie, you can reserve a big private room for me at Xichuan Restaurant tomorrow at noon, is that okay?"
Everyone was chatting happily, and Cai Jing remembered the business.
Du Shaojie nodded. He would not offend the other party for such a small matter. Whether there is a private room at that time or not, he will find a way to handle this matter.
Liu Ying and others said goodbye and left, and Du Shaojie drove Cai Jing back to the hotel.
"Shaojie, I helped you get a piece of land. Wait for you to go back and take a look. If you are satisfied, you can go through the formalities. However, starting from next year, there will be no such good thing. Shenzhen City will establish a land auction system. Do you understand?"
It was not until this time that Cai Jing told Du Shaojie what he was most concerned about.
Du Shaojie understood. It seems that the Shenzhen branch of Xichuan Restaurant will soon be settled.
"Understood! You should rest early. I should leave too."
Du Shaojie immediately said goodbye, and Cai Jing nodded and did not keep him.
There are some things she has not decided yet. It is a bit early to say it now. She will tell the other party later.
The next day.
Noon.
Cai Jing hosted a banquet for all the merchants at Xichuan Restaurant.
Everyone didn't take it seriously at first. What kind of decent dishes could a small restaurant in a remote city make?
As a result, Du Shaojie made them eat "delicious food" with his absolute strength, which surprised these people.
But when they learned that Du Shaojie's Xichuan Restaurant had already established a foothold in Beijing and Guangzhou, and planned to open a store in Shenzhen, these people showed a look of understanding.
Qin Lu smiled but said nothing. She knew very well the real strength of Du Shaojie. He was just at the beginning. The reason why he could eat the dishes made by others was because of Director Cai's face.
After eating this meal, Cai Jing, Qin Lu and others took a car to the scenic spot.
Du Shaojie was busy for a few days and had taught 10 new dishes to Luo Gang, Liu Ziwang and others.
He took the time to count his gains during this period, and he was shocked that 45 dishes received a comprehensive evaluation of "delicious food".
These days, he has made two banquets, and he often has to do demonstrations during training and teaching.
With accumulation, the harvest is naturally great.

After finishing his business, Du Shaojie called Liu Ying.
Liu Ying helped him arrange a van, and a group of people took the van to the alpine ranch.
The ranch had already greeted them, and the reception was very thoughtful, but the accommodation conditions were a bit poor. But no one cared. If you still care so much when you go out to play, you might as well stay at home.
In addition to Du Shaojie, Xiaomei and Xiaoya, there were also Qi Yan, Su Dapeng and Huang Tingting, a total of six people.
A large yurt was vacated on the ranch, and everyone could only rest and sleep in one yurt.
After taking the things from the car, the van went back home and picked them up the day after tomorrow morning, which meant that Du Shaojie and others would stay at the ranch for two nights.
It was still early, so everyone took the cooking utensils and the leftovers to the stream to clean them.
Du Shaojie had a complete set of outdoor cooking utensils, but some of them were not used, so he only brought some.
There were two iron stoves and a barbecue stove outside the yurt. People also prepared firewood and coal in advance, as well as an iron kettle for boiling water.
In addition, there were buckets and large iron pots, so there was basically no worry about food and drink.
But they had to do it themselves. The herdsmen were very busy and there was no manpower to take care of them all the time.
"We have Chef Du, right? Can we still eat dry naan?"
Qi Yan, like Xiaomei and Xiaoya, had strong confidence in Du Shaojie.
Then, Qi Yan, Xiaomei, Xiaoya, and Huang Tingting went to fetch water, wash rice, and then wash carrots and other ingredients.
Su Dapeng lit a fire and soon boiled a pot of water.
Du Shaojie went to the herdsman to buy a sheep. The herdsman was very enthusiastic and helped him pick one. However, he was very busy at the moment and said that he would not have time
to go and help with the slaughter until the afternoon. "No, I can do it myself."
Du Shaojie did not care. He knew how to slaughter sheep and pigs. He had done it a lot when he was on the farm before.
"Can you do it? If not, wait for me to go there in the afternoon. You can have something to eat at noon."
The herdsman expressed doubt. Du Shaojie smiled without saying anything and led the sheep back to the yurt.
Then he asked Su Dapeng to help him. He walked a long way before he started slaughtering the sheep.
Slaughtering, bleeding, skinning, cleaning the internal organs, deboning and cutting the meat, the whole process was very fast, and Su Dapeng was stunned.
"Aren't you a chef? How come you're doing the work of a butcher?"
"Isn't that nonsense? What do you think I did on the farm? I was a chef and a butcher. Hurry up and send the meat back so they can wash it and string it on skewers. We'll have barbecue at noon."
There was still a lot of work to do. Sheep intestines, tripes, hearts, livers, etc. were all good things, but they were very troublesome to handle.
Du Shaojie asked Su Dapeng to take the cut mutton and bones back, and he went to the stream to wash the internal organs.
The herdsmen had told her before which areas could be used for water and which areas could be used for washing debris, and he remembered them all.
When you are on someone's territory, you have to abide by their rules. There's nothing to say about that.
"Shaojie, I'll help you."
Qi Yan came over and prepared to wash these things with Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie waved his hand and asked her to go back and get the alkaline noodles and salt, and bring some flour. Sheep tripes and sheep intestines are difficult to wash, and some tricks are needed.
This time, he was well prepared. He not only brought various seasonings and onions, ginger, garlic, yellow radish, radishes, tomatoes and green peppers, but also a small amount of rice, flour and oil.
All preparations were made according to the standards for picnics, so there was no need to worry about being hungry even in the wilderness.
After more than an hour of hard work, Du Shaojie and Qi Yan returned to the yurt with two basins of offal.
Huang Tingting, Xiaomei and Xiaoya were stringing mutton skewers. Du Shaojie asked them to cut some more mutton liver and mutton intestines, which would be delicious when grilled later.
Then he began to cut yellow radish and other ingredients, and started to heat the pan after they were ready. Later, pour clear oil into the pan and start frying the mutton with bones. Be sure to fry the mutton until the moisture is dry.
Next, pour in the cut yellow radish strips, stir-fry for a while, add water to the pan, and put in the rice that had been soaked in advance.
At noon, we had [pilaf] and barbecue, and mixed a cold dish with tomatoes, green peppers and radishes.
[pilaf] After the high heat boils, it needs to be turned to low heat and simmered slowly, and don't be in a hurry.
After the charcoal fire in the barbecue stove was completely red, Du Shaojie began to grill mutton, sheep intestines, sheep heart and sheep liver.
At this time, everyone was hungry. When the aroma of barbecue wafted over, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva. This kind of waiting is the most tormenting, but fortunately the first batch of barbecue will be ready soon.
"Are you hungry? Come on, eat something first."
Du Shaojie invited everyone to eat skewers, and Su Dapeng immediately opened a few bottles of beer. Several people drank beer while eating skewers, and suddenly felt that this was the delicacy of the world.
Nothing else, just hungry.
Du Shaojie grilled another batch before sitting down with everyone to eat.
After eating a few skewers, he went to watch the fire. When cooking rice in an iron pot, you have to turn the pot from time to time, on the one hand to heat it evenly, and on the other hand to prevent the bottom of the pot from getting burnt.
Finally, the fragrant pilaf was cooked.
Du Shaojie closed the damper, set up the iron pot, and then opened the lid. Suddenly a strong aroma spread out, not to mention how tempting it was.
Their lunch was rice with hands and barbecue, as well as beer and cold dishes. It was a rich meal.
In the evening, they could cook [clear-boiled mutton]. Meat was the main food for the next two days. I guess everyone would gain two pounds when they got back.
In the afternoon,
a herdsman brought over a few horses. These horses were gentle and just right for them to ride.
Of course, to be on the safe side, a herdsman followed them all the time, mainly because he was afraid of accidents.
They had a great time all afternoon. After getting off the horses, they all walked with their legs apart. Riding a horse is a technical job. This is the consequence if you are not skilled.
But no one cares. How many opportunities can you have to ride a horse in a year? It doesn't matter if your legs or buttocks hurt, as long as you are happy.
The next day,
it rained heavily in the mountains, so everyone had to hide in the yurt and play poker.
It was not until the afternoon that the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.
"Who is Master Du?"
Everyone got out of the yurt and happened to see a truck coming.
After a while, the truck stopped in front of the yurt and two men got off the car.
"I'm Du Shaojie, may I ask who you are?"
Du Shaojie didn't know the other person, but the other person was obviously looking for him.
"We are the staff of the Glacier Station. Sorry, we only learned about your arrival today, so we are late. The leader has arranged accommodation for you in the station, how about we go there now?"
One of them explained. He only knew that it was arranged by the station leader, but he didn't know who contacted the station leader.
Du Shaojie consulted with several people and decided to go with them.
There is no electricity in the yurt, so everyone will be bored after dark, and everyone is crowded together, so it is not easy to rest at night.
