Chapter 72 A Small Request
"Master Du, is there any more food?"
Zhao Dajun held a glimmer of hope and shouted to Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie looked at him helplessly and thought, you know the working hours of the canteen, and several people in the canteen are ready to go off work.
"No, I had [臊子面] for lunch, and there is nothing left. Professor Sun, why are you so late today? Otherwise, you wait a moment, I will find a way to get you something to eat."
After Sun Qiang resumed his work, the hospital did not arrange much for him.
He is also a person who can't sit still. The farm is trying to plant winter wheat, and he is almost involved in the whole process, running here every three or five days. He eats in the canteen when he comes, and he eats whatever the employees eat. After a while, he and Du Shaojie are also very familiar with each other.
"Just fill your stomach with anything! It's not smooth to go out today. The car broke down halfway, so I came so late."
Before Zhao Dajun spoke, Sun Qiang took over the conversation directly.
He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.
Du Shaojie asked Li Guixiang to heat up the cornmeal pancakes that were left over from the morning, and then he quickly went back to his residence and brought the remaining [Dezhou Braised Chicken].
Then he mixed a large plate of cold dishes and called the three of them to eat.
"Master Du, where did you get this braised chicken? It tastes absolutely amazing."
Zhao Dajun ate a few pieces of chicken, and the more he ate, the more delicious it became. He chewed the chicken bones into pieces. If there were no guests, he could have bought a whole chicken by himself.
Sun Qiang and the young man also praised it highly, especially the young man who asked where he bought the braised chicken? He wanted to take one home when he went back.
"This is the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] I made. I didn't have time to cook at the last minute, so I went home and brought it over. Don't worry, it was just made this morning and it's still very fresh."
Du Shaojie rolled his eyes. He contributed his own dinner, but Zhao Dajun was still asking where he got it.
In this corner of the farm, you can't buy good things even if you have money.
"Master Du, you are amazing! Let our dean taste your dishes next time. After he eats them, he will definitely find a way to transfer you to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
Sun Qiang's words were also compliments, but they sounded a bit harsh to Zhao Dajun's ears.
Isn't this poaching in front of him? This
is intolerable!
"Old Sun, you are not being honest, are you? I treat you sincerely, but you want to poach Master Du. Not to mention that I don't agree, all the employees in the farm will not agree either."
"Old Zhao, I just said that, and you are serious?"
"Humph! Eat."
The three of them quickly filled their stomachs and went to the fields.
Sun Qiang observed one piece after another, looking very carefully, and the young man recorded the relevant data on the side.
"Old Zhao, the situation is good. It will be time to irrigate the winter water in a while, and I will come over then. If the winter water is full, there will be no worries next spring. Of course, we can't take it lightly, and we must prevent frost damage."
Sun Qiang has a strong sense of responsibility and does not miss any details.
"Haha, thanks to your guidance, Old Sun, thank you!"
Zhao Dajun and Sun Qiang have become friends, and this thank you is sincere.
"Don't talk nonsense all day long. If you want to thank me, go ask Master Du to make two Texas Braised Chickens for me. I'll take them away when I go back tomorrow."
It's a long trip, and Sun Qiang usually stays on the farm for one or two nights.
In addition to checking the growth of winter wheat, he also has to give lectures to relevant personnel in the farm, and never asks for compensation.
But today's [Texas Braised Chicken] completely stimulated his taste buds, and he didn't eat enough, so he made such a request for the first time.
"Hahaha, Old Sun, it turns out that you are also a greedy person. I'll take care of this matter, it's a piece of cake."
Zhao Dajun has never been a stingy person. If Sun Qiang and others hadn't refused, he would have treated them to a feast every time they came.
Knowledge is never cheap, because it can bring huge benefits.
Afterwards, Zhao Dajun asked Chu Xiaowei to get a few more chickens and give them to Du Shaojie before leaving work in the afternoon. For this matter, he even went to the cafeteria.
"Master Du, that's all. Thank you for working overtime. I ate one of your chickens at noon, and I'll give you two more."
"Okay, I will definitely satisfy Professor Sun."
Du Shaojie did not refuse. It is very important for the farm to have a good relationship with Sun Qiang.
Not only winter wheat, but also vegetable greenhouses depend on him, so he attaches great importance to it.
Before leaving work, Chu Xiaowei sent ten white-striped chickens.
White-striped chickens can save a lot of effort, but the quality is uneven. However, according to Chu Xiaowei, he bought live chickens and watched his fellow villagers slaughter and clean them with his own eyes.
Du Shaojie used the knowledge of [Food Identification] that he had just learned to identify them and confirmed that Chu Xiaowei was not lying.
It's not that he doesn't believe the other party, but he wants to develop this habit. The knowledge learned is only on paper after all. If you want to master it, you must apply it repeatedly in practice.
What you learn from paper is shallow. You must practice it yourself.
That's probably what it means.
Li Guixiang was in a hurry to go home to do housework after work, so Du Shaojie didn't keep her.
Qin Xiaomei helped him get the pot of old soup from home. When stewing, just add some water, spices and seasonings.
"Aunt Qin, you go back. I can handle the rest by myself."
The production process is no different. When it comes to the last step, which is stewing on low heat, Du Shaojie asked Qin Xiaomei to go home and rest.
No one can replace him in watching the heat, and it's useless to have more people.
"Then I'll go back. You can go home early after you're done."
Qin Xiaomei immediately left the cafeteria, and Du Shaojie was the only one left in the huge kitchen.
But he was not bored, and he watched the [Chef Training Video Materials] as if he was watching a movie. This is fundamentally different from reading a book. Reading a book is more abstract, while watching video materials is very intuitive and easy to understand and learn.
Unknowingly, it was late at night.
The chicken in the soup pot has been stewed to perfection.
So Du Shaojie extinguished the fire in the furnace and let the whole chicken soak in the soup pot. When it is fished out tomorrow morning, it will be the fragrant [Dezhou Braised Chicken].
The next day.
Du Shaojie kept two [Dezhou Braised Chicken], and the other eight chickens were packed in bags and handed over to Chu Xiaowei.
When Sun Qiang and the others left, he handed them to them.
"Old Zhao, you are such a nice guy. I won't say any more. From now on, your farm's affairs are my business. As long as I am useful, I will never be vague."
Sun Qiang felt even more that he had not made a mistake. He waved his hand and set off on his way home.
After returning, the young man happily took a chicken home. As for the rest, Sun Qiang kept two for himself, and gave away the rest, even the dean had a portion.
It was not that Sun Qiang suddenly got it, but the result of the young man's guidance along the way.
As a result, Du Shaojie's reputation gradually spread within the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, especially those who had eaten [Dezhou Braised Chicken], and they wanted to recruit him immediately.
If the canteen of the unit could have such a master chef with superb cooking skills, why would it be so deserted?
Although married employees usually eat at home, if the canteen really has food, everyone will flock to it. It's a pity that the canteen of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences doesn't have such a person. Who would like to eat the food made except bachelors?
