Chapter 7 Steel Wire Noodles
At noon.
Du Shaojie combined Liao Yongxin's instructions and the precautions in the teaching materials to start stir-frying "Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds".
He was very confident about this dish, but there were still some differences between big pot dishes and small stoves. Although he tried his best, he still received a "poor" evaluation.
[Bound Chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Apprentice (Third Year)]
[Current Work: Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds]
[Overall Evaluation: Poor]
[Bonus: Teaching Materials for Current Dish (Big Pot Dish)]
[Reward: Kitchen Knife (1)]
[Special Reward: None]
Du Shaojie was not disappointed with this result. It was good enough to have a plug-in. Could it be that lying flat would lead to the pinnacle of life? It is still more reassuring to get things through hard work.
He then poured the spicy and sour potato shreds into a large basin. Liao Yongxin also finished his work and came over to taste the taste of the dish.
"Not bad! Send it to the front."
It was like the sun rising from the west to make Liao Yongxin say that it was okay.
Du Shaojie then sent a large bowl of "sour and spicy potato shreds" to the window, and continued to stick to his work after returning. It was time to get
off work at noon.
Employees in groups of three or four walked into the cafeteria. Today, the leaders had a day-long meeting, and according to the rules, they would provide a meal at noon. They also ate from the same big pot, and there was no special stove.
This matter still surprised Du Shaojie.
Four dishes were served at noon: sour and spicy potato shreds, cabbage vermicelli, braised pork, and stir-fried radish shreds.
"Today's sour and spicy potato shreds are delicious, but they don't look like Master Liao's craftsmanship, which is really strange."
The leaders had several tables for dinner, and each table had four dishes and one soup. In addition to the four dishes provided, each person also had a bowl of egg drop soup. The soup was free, and everyone who ate in the cafeteria had it, but there were not many eggs in the soup.
Section Chief Zhang of the Dispatching Department had a heavy taste, and today's sour and spicy potato shreds made him praise it.
Everyone had long been accustomed to the taste of Liao Yongxin's cooking, but today's dish was obviously different and also delicious.
"Who else could it be other than Master Liao? Dai Tong, let me ask you, who cooked the shredded potatoes today?"
Director Jiang Yong of the Production Department is Section Chief Zhang's immediate superior, and the two happened to be sitting next to each other.
Jiang Yong became curious when Section Chief Zhang said that, and he happened to see Dai Tong wandering around in the cafeteria, so he called him over.
Dai Tong thought it was something good, and he had been wandering around for a long time just to leave a good impression on the bosses? But Director Jiang asked about it.
He felt like he had eaten a fly, and was very disgusted, but he didn't dare to answer truthfully.
"Director Jiang, the shredded potatoes were fried by Du Shaojie, so they are naturally not as good as Master Liao's."
Although he told the truth, Dai Tong still didn't forget to give Du Shaojie a
slap in the face. Jiang Yong smiled without commenting, and said nothing more.
Dai Tong felt a little bored, so he strolled away.
"It looks like there will be a rising star in the cafeteria. If he learns a little from Lao Liao, we will all have a treat."
"That's right, Xiao Du is not very good at ordinary times, but I didn't expect he has this skill."
"What Xiao Du, in a few years, he should be called Chef Du." Section
Chief Zhang discussed with the people at the same table for a few words, just as a diversion from the dull life. The wind
direction is not right during this period, and it is better to gossip than to say the wrong thing.
Ordinary employees also praised today's "spicy and sour potato shreds". Du Shaojie's "first show" actually received unanimous praise, which he did not expect.
After lunch.
Du Shaojie went to the dormitory to sleep for a while. When he woke up, there was an extra kitchen knife in his yellow schoolbag.
After having dinner at work, he took the kitchen knife home.
"Brother, have you eaten?"
Du Xiaomei called out from the kitchen after parking her bicycle in the yard.
She had just finished washing the dishes and knew her brother was back when she heard the noise.
"I've eaten at work. What did you have for dinner?"
Du Shaojie smiled and walked into the kitchen with his yellow schoolbag on his back.
Du Xiaomei went into the house and took off her apron. The little girl hadn't grown up yet, so the apron looked like a robe on her body.
"Mom made steel wire noodles, they're delicious."
Hearing her brother's question, she smiled and pointed to a bowl of noodles on the stove.
Steel wire noodles are made of cornmeal, which requires several processes and is quite troublesome to make. However, there is a noodle exchange shop at the entrance of the alley. You can take cornmeal and exchange it for steel wire noodles, which is very convenient.
It doesn't cost money to exchange noodles, and people just earn a little food.
Du Shaojie had never eaten this thing in his previous life, so he took out a small bowl and filled it with some steel wire noodles, and ate it in a few mouthfuls, including the soup and noodles.
The soup noodles tasted okay, but the texture of the steel wire noodles was a bit rough. I would eat them occasionally as a change of taste.
Du Xiaomei reached out to take the bowl and chopsticks and washed them immediately.
Du Shaojie took out a kitchen knife from his yellow schoolbag and stuck it on the wooden knife rack.
"Brother, why did you bring a kitchen knife back?"
"This is my own kitchen knife. I will carry it with me wherever I go in the future."
Du Shaojie said as he took out three paper-wrapped vegetarian buns from his yellow schoolbag. The buns were stuffed with cabbage and vermicelli, and a few scattered pieces of oil residue could be seen.
In the afternoon, the cafeteria refined some lard, and the remaining oil residue was just used to mix the stuffing.
"You can eat these buns tomorrow morning."
The buns in the cafeteria were very big, and for Du Xiaomei and the others, one was enough to fill them up.
Then he and Du Xiaomei sealed the fire in the furnace and walked into the main room together.
At this time, Du Xiaoya was pestering her mother with questions, and when she saw her sister and brother come in, she immediately shut up.
Wang Yuxiu was mending Du Xiaomei's cotton shoes. Her eldest daughter was very active and ran around all day, so she was the one who wore out her shoes.
"Xiaojie, Dapeng came to see you this afternoon and told you to go to his house when you are free."
Seeing her son, Wang Yuxiu remembered what Su Dapeng had told her to say, so she quickly told him.
Su Dapeng was Du Shaojie's childhood friend, and there was also Qi Yan. The three of them were close friends since childhood and had a very close relationship.
"I know, Mom."
Du Shaojie liked the current family atmosphere very much. The word "Mom" represented his attitude.
Du Xiaoya, as usual, came up to her, grabbed her brother's clothes and said expectantly, "Brother, did you bring Xiaoya anything delicious?"
Wang Yuxiu looked at her little daughter's black eyes rolling around, and couldn't help laughing, "You little greedy cat, you only know how to eat all day long."
Du Shaojie reached out and touched Du Xiaoya's head. Du Xiaomei stepped forward and pulled her sister aside, whispering a few words in her ear.
Then the little girl's eyes lit up, and she kept grinning at her brother.
Du Shaojie went into the house, put down his yellow schoolbag, said something to Wang Yuxiu, and walked out of the yard to Su Dapeng's place.
Su Dapeng's house was not far away, and it only took about five or six minutes to walk.
"Shaojie, you're finally here. I was so anxious."
After knocking on the door of Su Dapeng's house, the other party hurriedly dragged Du Shaojie into the house as soon as he saw him.
Su Dapeng's family had a large population, so his father rebuilt a row of bungalows in the yard. The kid usually lived alone in a large house. Du Shaojie and Qi Yan used this place as their base.
