Chapter 5 Good guy!
"Ah? Chief Jiang, you are right. I accept the criticism. Please rest assured that I will strictly demand myself in the future, work hard, and never cause trouble to the leaders."
Du Shaojie, who came back to his senses, almost said the eight-character mantra, the more correct the attitude is, the more correct it is.
Jiang Xianfa was stunned. He had prepared several sets of rhetoric, but the boy gave in before he could use them.
This is the best!
Jiang Xianfa couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Okay, remember what you said, and don't make mistakes in the future. That's it, remember to go to work on time tomorrow, I'm leaving."
After completing the task, he felt relieved.
Then Jiang Xianfa slapped his butt and left, and Du Shaojie sent him out of the yard.
"You haven't been to the hospital yet? Remember to go for a check-up. If you feel uncomfortable at work in the future, you must tell me, don't just bear it."
Jiang Xianfa turned around and said something, then rode his bicycle away.
Du Shaojie smacked his lips and understood the other party's subtext.
The other party told him not to confront Dai Tong. If the work assigned by Dai Tong was unreasonable, he could use his health as an excuse to shirk it.
"Good man!"
Du Shaojie secretly gave Deputy Section Chief Jiang a "good man card" and then turned back home.
Wang Yuxiu heard a few words in the inner room and roughly understood the intention of Section Chief Jiang. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
But she didn't ask anything. She couldn't help her son, and asking too much would only make things worse.
At around six o'clock, Du Xiaomei and Du Xiaoya returned home from school.
Later, the two sisters were playing shuttlecock in the yard, and Du Shaojie started to work in the kitchen.
He first took the mutton out of the basin, chopped it into large pieces and washed it several times, and then cut the washed yellow radish into pieces with a rolling knife. Next, prepare the ingredients. The ingredients are very simple, just a few pieces of scallion, a few slices of old ginger and a dozen peppercorns. Put
the large pieces of bone-in mutton into a pot with cold water, and after the water boils, skim off the foam and pour in the scallion and peppercorns.
The yellow radish can be added later, otherwise it will be stewed if the cooking time is too long.
The clear-boiled mutton in Xijiang does not contain cooking wine or other seasonings, and the mutton itself is eaten for its delicious taste.
Du Shaojie closed the damper of the furnace, put a shovel of crushed coal on the fire, and stewed the bones and meat in the pot slowly over low heat. After about an hour, add the yellow radish, and the whole process will be ready in no more than an hour and a half.
Walking out of the kitchen, the two sisters threw the shuttlecock and ran over.
"Brother, is there anything delicious tonight?"
Du Xiaoya couldn't bear it anymore. She had been peeking at the kitchen door before, but was pulled aside by her sister.
Playing shuttlecock in the yard on a cold day, all I could think about was what to eat in the evening.
Du Xiaomei's performance was slightly better, but she still couldn't help asking.
"We'll have braised mutton tonight, but it'll take a while before dinner, so you guys continue playing."
Du Shaojie naturally wouldn't play shuttlecock with two little brats, so he went into the house and poured a bowl of hot water on the stove.
Wang Yuxiu sat by the stove sewing insoles, looked up at her son, her eyes were very gentle: "Your Section Chief Jiang is so polite, you brought something home, you should find a chance to repay this favor later."
She didn't see the bone-in mutton in the kitchen until Jiang Xianfa left, and subconsciously thought that he had brought it.
Du Shaojie was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then he didn't distinguish it, he responded vaguely and went into the house. When the time was almost up, he came to the kitchen again and poured the yellow radish into the pot.
When the yellow radish is thoroughly cooked, add an appropriate amount of salt and the dish is ready.
[Ding! ]
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Apprentice (third year)]
[Current work: Braised mutton]
[Overall rating: bad]
[Bonus: Teaching materials for the current dish]
[Reward: Salted duck egg (1 kg)]
[Special reward: None]
Du Shaojie was happy but also a little helpless after making another good dish.
Although he worked in the canteen, he didn't have many opportunities to cook. A dish of hot and sour potato shreds and a dish of clear-cooked mutton were basically the best he could do. Nothing else would work .
It seems that he needs to find opportunities to practice more.
One kilogram of meat with bones is not much, but with yellow radish and soup, it fills up a large pot. Du Xiaomei and Du Xiaoya praised their brother's cooking skills while eating, and they wished they could chew the bones and swallow them.
Du Shaojie himself was also very happy to eat. The stewed mutton was not smelly at all and was very delicious. The stewing temperature was just right, soft and rotten but not boneless, and the taste was good.
"Brother, your cooking is still delicious!"
Du Xiaomei was full and gave Du Shaojie a thumbs up.
Wang Yuxiu rolled her eyes. Is this to say that her cooking is not good as a mother's? But to be honest, her cooking skills are not as good as her son's. After
dinner, Xiaomei took Xiaoya to clean up the mess, and Du Shaojie did not intervene.
He lay in the room, watching the teaching materials of [Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds] and [Braised Lamb] over and over again, comparing the two dishes he made today, and found many problems with himself.
Du Shaojie engraved these problems in his mind, hoping to make progress next time he makes these two dishes.
Later, he went to the toilet outside.
There is no bathroom at home, and you have to go to the public toilet outside if you want to go to the bathroom. This is the case for many houses these days. There is no water supply and drainage, and life is not comfortable at all.
After returning, Du Shaojie found a basket of salted duck eggs in his room.
This is naturally a previous reward. The distribution of reward items seems to have no rules, but it is very good to avoid the sight of others. But if there are more rewards in the future, the family will definitely be suspicious, which is a troublesome thing.
He stuffed the basket under the bed, washed up briefly, and got into bed.
The next day.
Du Shaojie got up early, boiled two salted duck eggs and placed them on the table in the main room, and rode his bicycle to work.
Breakfast was served in the canteen, so he went to work earlier than people in other departments.
Breakfast was not very varied, cornmeal porridge, steamed corn bread or white flour buns, and pickles (lotus, red tofu, spicy cabbage). Sometimes rice porridge was also served, and generally it didn't take too much time.
Most of the people who had breakfast in the canteen were single employees. The unit had dormitories, but it was inconvenient to cook.
The work of the day started before dawn, and the canteen employees could rest for an hour after breakfast.
"Du Shaojie, don't leave yet, you and Lao Cai go to the vegetable cellar to get some cabbage and potatoes."
Du Shaojie was also assigned a dormitory, a six-person room with three bunk beds. Although the conditions were not good, it was still possible to rest during the day.
He was about to leave the canteen when Dai Tong called him.
Old Cai's name is Cai Dequan, and he is in charge of the vegetable cellar. Usually, Old Cai and Dai Tong's nephew Dai Jianguo go to move vegetables from the vegetable cellar, but today Dai Tong specifically asked Du Shaojie to do it.
Du Shaojie didn't expect that just one day after the incident, Dai Tong would start to make things difficult for him again.
He thought about it and decided not to use the method of "faking illness". He wanted to see what the other party was up to.
