A few days passed quickly.
Du Shaojie went to Shenzhen and signed a series of documents with Cai Jing and Yu Mo.
Cai Jing's real estate development company has introduced several strategic investors. Except for Du Shaojie, the fake foreign investor, the other companies have state-owned backgrounds.
The equity of MD Home Appliances Company is in the name of the company jointly established by Du Shaojie and Yu Mo. Yu Mo has completed the relevant procedures. Du Shaojie only needs to sign.
After two days of busy work in the company, it was time for Du Shaojie to cook in person.
However, he did not return to Yangcheng this weekend, but performed his personal performance at the Shenzhen branch of Xichuan Restaurant.
Luo Sankun made arrangements in advance, and a guest was willing to dine at the Shenzhen branch.
It was another hard day. When he returned to Liang Meiqin's residence after the work, he didn't want to move at all.
This level of banquet is also a test for Du Shaojie. Under the reputation, he dare not be careless at all. Otherwise, a small flaw may be infinitely magnified, which will bring some trouble.
Of course, this will actually promote his cooking skills.
Sometimes people need some pressure, and only with pressure can their potential be stimulated. This is completely different from practicing quietly.
"Shaojie, why are you still working so hard? Look at the bosses, they have a life of feasting and drinking every day, and they are singing and dancing. You don't cook in the kitchen yourself."
Liang Meiqin asked Du Shaojie to lie on the bed and gave him a massage.
She felt sorry for him, so she complained.
"My situation is different. If I were like them, my hard-trained cooking skills would be wasted. I have the initiative in this matter, and I can pause when I want to rest."
Although it is very tiring, it is very beneficial for honing my cooking skills.
Du Shaojie didn't think about this problem before, and now that he knows it, he is even less likely to give up halfway.
Of course, after all, he doesn't rely on this to make a living. He has full autonomy in time arrangement and can combine work and rest.
"You, you are always so competitive."
Liang Meiqin shook her head helplessly, and her hands became softer.
The next day.
Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli drove back to Guangzhou early in the morning.
"Mom, what's the matter that you're calling me back so urgently?"
He received a call from Wang Yuxiu when he was in Shenzhen. The other party only asked him to come back quickly, but didn't tell him what the matter was.
Du Shaojie didn't dare to neglect it and ran back quickly.
"Hey, do you still remember Aunt Zhang? She has a terminal illness, and the doctor said to prepare for her funeral. Ajie, I want to go back to see my old sister for the last time."
Wang Yuxiu told Du Shaojie the whole story as soon as she saw him.
Du Shaojie noticed that his mother had packed her luggage and was ready to leave after he came back.
"I'll help you book a flight now. Don't be too sad. Call me if you have anything."
He didn't stop Wang Yuxiu and immediately asked someone to book a flight for his mother.
The next day, he sent her on the plane.
Du Shaojie didn't go back with them, and he wouldn't be able to play any role if he went back.
Time flies.
With Du Shaojie taking the lead, the chef open day of [Xichuan Restaurant] gradually formed a system.
Now it's not just him, but also people like Liao Yongxin, Zhou Huai'en and others have participated in it, creating a greater momentum. But the frequency of one table a week has not changed. As the saying goes, things are more valuable because they are scarce.
"Boss Du, I'm sorry to bother you again."
That day, Tang Jun asked Du Shaojie to come out for tea, saying that Feng Qingsong would have an important banquet in two days and hoped that he could cook in person.
Du Shaojie would certainly not refuse, but at the same time he also felt the burden of fame.
Now he is very famous in the local area. Some people even say that he can cook any dish very well and are proud to eat his dishes.
Unconsciously, his cooking skills have become a scarce resource, attracting many people.
"Secretary Tang, what type of dishes do you need me to cook this time?"
Since he agreed, Du Shaojie will prepare it very seriously.
"The leader's guests like Hunan cuisine, especially [Chopped Pepper Fish Head] and [Sauce Pork Elbow]. You will definitely have no problem."
Tang Jun added some tea to Du Shaojie's teacup and said with a smile.
Du Shaojie nodded. Hunan cuisine is Hunan cuisine. Anyway, he also has research on Hunan cuisine.
On the day, he brought two helpers and successfully completed the task assigned by Feng Qingsong. The guests were very satisfied with the meal and kept praising his cooking skills.
But what happened later was a bit ridiculous. The guest made a request to Feng Qingsong, wanting Du Shaojie to go to Beijing with him.
"The leader was stunned at the time, and then patiently explained to the guest that Du Shaojie was not a chef in the unit, but had his own catering chain."
Tang Jun laughed when he talked about this later.
Du Shaojie felt that he had been too popular recently, and on the pretext of worrying about Wang Yuxiu being alone in Xijiang, he quietly left Guangzhou with Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe.
During this period, he gained a lot.
A total of 200 dishes received a comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", which brought in 200,000 redemption points and 4 million hours of time.
There was some consumption, a total of 300,000 hours.
[Exchange points: 709,918 points\1,733,066 points]
[Duration: 8.48 million hours\27.893 million hours]
The three drove to the distant Xijiang River, and went to southern Hunan first after leaving Shaozhou.
At present, there is no highway network that extends in all directions, and the road conditions in many places are not good. Du Shaojie did not intend to rush on the road. He would eat and play along the way, which would not be very hard.
In southern Hunan, Du Shaojie learned to make dishes such as [Stir-fried Blood Duck], [Flavor Snake], [Dongan Chicken], [Lotus Leaf Rice Noodle Meat], [Jianghua Eighteen Stuffed], and [Southern Hunan Stuffed Tofu].
There are also many snacks, which are simply countless.
Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe took turns driving, and the two were also Du Shaojie's bodyguards. As a result, the two accompanied the boss to travel around the mountains and rivers, and there were delicious food all day long, which was simply freer than gods.
Go north from southern Hunan, then pass Dongting, go down to the Central Plains, and pass through the 800-li Qinchuan.
After passing through the vast sea, they finally arrived at the provincial capital of Xijiang.
The whole journey took a month. Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe were all tanned, but Du Shaojie's skin color remained unchanged and his mental state looked particularly good.
"Mom, I'm back."
Du Shaojie walked into his yard and saw Wang Yuxiu sitting in the main room and taking a nap.
His shout startled Wang Yuxiu, who looked up in a daze and saw her son.
"Why are you back? I haven't gone to buy vegetables yet. You guys sit down first. I'll go out for a while."
Wang Yuxiu rushed back to see her old sister for the last time. She attended the other party's memorial service a few days ago and has not yet come out of the sad mood.
"Don't go buy vegetables. Let's go out for lunch."
The store of [Xichuan Restaurant] is near his home, so Du Shaojie naturally doesn't want his mother to worry.
He went into the house to put down his luggage, then arranged Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe in the yard next door, and took Wang Yuxiu to eat.
When Liu Ziwang and others learned that the boss had come, they all ran over to greet each other.
Liu Ziwang returned to the kitchen and used all his skills to prepare a table of his signature dishes.
"Liu Ziwang's cooking skills have indeed improved a lot now, and he has already caught up with Yan Dabao."
Du Shaojie tasted each dish separately, and his evaluation of Liu Ziwang in his heart was a little higher.
Some people are naturally intelligent and learn everything quickly, which is the so-called high talent. But it is hard to say whether they can go further. A considerable number of "geniuses" have fallen early.
There are also some people who were not very prominent in their early years and performed mediocrely in all aspects. But they never gave up, accumulated a lot of experience, and finally made everyone look at them with admiration.
Liu Ziwang belongs to this kind of people.
When Du Shaojie first met him, his cooking skills were very ordinary, and he barely crossed the threshold of "super chef" by relying on the accumulation of years.
But in recent years, Liu Ziwang has made rapid progress, as if his brain has opened up, and he has achieved quite good results.
Du Shaojie knows very well that behind this is the other party's persistent efforts, and there is no pie in the sky.
"Mom, eat more. Don't think too much about some things. Look at it more openly. This is everyone's fate."
Seeing that Wang Yuxiu ate very little, Du Shaojie persuaded her.
Wang Yuxiu nodded, forced herself to eat a little more, and put down her chopsticks.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry."
Seeing this, Du Shaojie didn't say anything more.
The next day.
He called Liu Ying and found out that Lu Yimin and Jiang Cheng had been transferred out of the provincial capital.
Lu Yimin was transferred to a prefecture-level city as a leader, and Jiang Cheng was transferred to Shanghai. Only Liu Ying was still standing still.
"Take some time to have a meal tomorrow. Brother Lu and the others are not here, so let's get together."
Du Shaojie felt a little regretful, but he was also happy for Lu Yimin and Jiang Cheng. They both walked out of their own paths, and it was hard to say where they would go in the future.
"Shaojie, forget it this time. Let's have dinner together again when we have a chance. I have a suggestion for you. If you don't
have anything important to do when you come back this time, you should leave as soon as possible." Liu Ying was hesitant to speak, as if she had something to hide.
Du Shaojie didn't force her, and chatted with the other party for a few words before hanging up.
Then he sat in the room thinking about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. At night, he took Wang Yongli to the Health Department.
"Yongli, you knock on the door with these fruits and say you want to see Director Liu. If the other party is at home, you quietly tell the other party that I am waiting outside the gate. If the other party is not at home, don't say anything, just put down the fruits and leave."
Some things are indeed difficult to explain over the phone, and it is inconvenient. Du Shaojie can only visit Liu Ying quietly.
But the other party didn't want to meet this time, obviously not wanting people to know their relationship, so he came up with this trick.
Wang Yongli got out of the car with the fruits and then walked into the family compound of the Health Department.
Du Shaojie waited in the car for more than 20 minutes, and Wang Yongli and Liu Ying came out and got in the car together.
"Let's go somewhere farther away."
Du Shaojie told Wang Yongli, and the car started and drove off into the distance. (End of this chapter)
