Chapter 41: The real skill is revealed in the ordinary
Don't worry about the stewed soup for now, this pot of soup needs to be stewed for several hours, and it will be used at dinner. There is only one dish for lunch, braised wild boar meat with cabbage and vermicelli, which is large and filling.
The wild boar meat was stewed for two hours before the cabbage was added and the vermicelli was added.
Cook the soup over high heat, add salt, monosodium glutamate and sugar for seasoning, and then it can be served.
People from every household in the farm came and waited, and Zhao Dajun asked them to pay for the most common vegetarian dishes.
He didn't want to take advantage of the public, after all, cooking requires cooking oil, small ingredients, auxiliary ingredients, seasonings and so on. If Lin Zuo caught a handle because of this, it would not be worth it.
Du Shaojie also deducted the food expenses from the labor study group's account. He would adjust it himself. In short, the food for the month would not exceed the standard, but it would not save a penny.
"It's time to eat! Everyone line up, and everyone will get a share."
After the dishes were ready, Du Shaojie personally served the food in front.
His words were effective. The scene was a bit chaotic, but he shouted and everything became orderly.
The canteen was filled with the rich aroma of pork. Wild boar meat is not often eaten, and everyone was looking forward to today's dishes.
"Delicious!"
"Really delicious!"
"It's really delicious!"
Many people in the field office simply took the staple food to the canteen, and then squatted in groups of three or five in the open space outside to eat.
Looking around, there were men, women, young and old, and the excitement was comparable to the New Year.
However, it was a bit embarrassing for these rough guys to come up with different ways to praise this dish. But the most simple compliments are often sincere and are what they really think.
"The wild boar meat is tender and not woody, and has no fishy smell at all. It leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth."
"The cabbage and vermicelli are also delicious. The vermicelli is chewy and the cabbage is tasty. These ingredients complement each other. Our chef Du's cooking skills are getting better and better. He will definitely become a chef in the future."
Zhai Yucheng, Chen Jizhou, Jiang Yong, Jiang Xianfa and others were also tasting this dish. It is true that the ordinary things show the true skill. The more ordinary the dishes, the more you can see the level of a chef.
They think that Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin are two typical examples.
Liao Yongxin learned from a famous Sichuan cuisine master and has great accomplishments in traditional Sichuan cuisine, and also takes into account other cuisines.
Du Shaojie is considered "non-professional" and has no master, but he is diligent, studious and perceptive. The young man has his own understanding of cooking and can often make some inconspicuous home-cooked dishes taste unusual.
"If you ask me, delicious food is the real truth, and everything else is just a false reputation."
Zhai Yucheng worked all morning, and his hands and feet were weak, but after eating a few pieces of wild boar meat, he immediately became lively.
He said the most simple words, ordinary people do not understand advanced cooking skills, and they only have one standard to judge whether a chef is good or not, that is, whether the dishes are delicious. It
is not one person who thinks it is delicious, but most people think it is delicious.
With the arrival of the shuttle bus, a large pot of food was quickly finished, and Du Shaojie then ate with Qin Xiaomei, Li Guixiang, and Wang Liwen.
"Master Du, what is the name of your dish? Wild boar meat stewed with vermicelli? Wild boar meat stewed with cabbage?"
Qin Xiaomei ate three steamed buns in one breath. Fortunately, she worked in the cafeteria, otherwise Chu Xiaowei would be worried.
"Whatever it is, braised wild boar meat with cabbage and vermicelli?"
Du Shaojie also ate very fragrantly. The name of the dish is not important, what is important is that it tastes good.
During the lunch break, the system gave a formal name for the dish.
[Bound Chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Apprentice (Third Year)]
[Current Work: Braised Wild Boar Stew]
[Overall Rating: Poor]
[Bonus: Teaching Materials for Stewed Dishes]
[Reward: Egg (2 kg)]
[Special Reward: None]
The system gave a "poor" overall rating for [Braised Wild Boar Stew].
When Du Shaojie was making this dish, he referred to the methods of braised pork, beef stew and other dishes, and the taste was excellent. Therefore, the rating of this dish was raised by one level, which made him very happy.
With this dish, he is one step closer to opening the [Simulation Training]. As long as there are 4 more dishes with a comprehensive evaluation of "low or above", the new function can be unlocked.
This matter is very important to him. The biggest problem hindering his cooking skills is that there are too few opportunities to practice. Many ingredients are not easy to get at present. Naturally, he is full of expectations for [Simulation Training].
"Master Du, are you there?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Dajun's shouting came from outside the dormitory door.
Du Shaojie put away the light curtain, walked over and opened the door.
"Director Zhao, is there something?"
The two had just met at noon. Zhao Dajun came at this time, so he must have something to do.
Du Shaojie didn't bother to be polite with the other party and asked directly.
"Master Du, Director Lu of the next regiment has something to do with me, so I can't go to deliver wild boar meat in the afternoon. How about you go there? It happens that you haven't been home this month, go back and see."
Zhao Dajun was originally going to deliver wild boar meat to the bureau in person, but he couldn't go because of something.
Considering that Du Shaojie is very familiar with the General Affairs Department and the canteen of the bureau, he thought of asking him to go there and let him rest for a few days.
"Okay, thank you, Director Zhao."
Du Shaojie actually wanted to go home, but there were a lot of things to do during this period. He had thought about asking for leave next week.
But since Zhao Dajun said so, it would be good to go back early.
Zhao Dajun nodded and turned to go to the field office.
Du Shaojie packed his things, then put a few clothes and personal items in the bag, picked up the 5 kilograms of cooking oil he bought last time, and went to the canteen with his schoolbag on his back.
He wanted to tell Qin Xiaomei, Li Guixiang and others that Qin Xiaomei would still be the chef when he was away.
"Master Du, wait a minute."
Qin Xiaomei heard that Du Shaojie was going home, so she took Li Guixiang to pick some vegetables behind the canteen.
These vegetables were grown by Qin Xiaomei herself. They are not worth much, but they are also a little thought from others.
Du Shaojie did not refuse. Some small things don't need to be taken too seriously.
Afternoon.
Du Shaojie adjusted the taste of the bone soup, put it next to the stove to keep it warm, and took the bus back to the bureau.
Before he got off work, he first handed the wild boar meat to Liao Yongxin, and then went to find Wang Bin.
"Haha, Zhao Dajun's heart is still with the bureau? Go back and thank him for me, I will report this to the leader later."
Wang Bin was very puzzled. Did Zhao Dajun finally get it?
Then, Du Shaojie left the unit and went straight home. This was when Liao Yongxin was busy, and he planned to come back to find him.
Wang Bin went around the office building and told everyone that the farm had sent some wild boar meat, and they could go and try it when Master Liao was done.
When Du Shaojie returned home, Wang Yuxiu hadn't started to cook dinner yet.
"Mom, I'm back."
At this time, Wang Yuxiu was sitting in the yard to rest.
Du Shaojie greeted her, walked into the kitchen, put down the bag in his hand, and took out the pork elbow and eggs.
The pork elbow was a reward from before, and he hadn't touched it. Today, he just took it out to add to the dish.
Then he walked out of the kitchen. Wang Yuxiu had already prepared water for him to wash his face, so he washed it in the yard.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Just as he went to pour out the dirty water, his two sisters came back home.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya were very happy to see their brother, but Xiaomei's first thought was to report to her brother about her study in the past few days, while Xiaoya kept looking into the kitchen to see what delicious food her brother brought back.
