Chapter 84: Relationships (Please order first before listing!)
Du Shaojie had no idea about this and was still fantasizing about avoiding all troubles and staying on the farm for two years.
After the weather got cold, the vegetable greenhouses began to produce, and the canteen finally said goodbye to the days of eating the "old three" throughout the winter. Although we can't have fresh vegetables every meal like in the summer, the dishes are more colorful, which makes everyone feel very satisfied.
There are also some changes in the food, such as steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns, steamed corn bread, steamed cakes, mixed noodles, fried noodles, steel wire noodles, etc. It seems that even coarse grains are not so difficult to swallow.
The employees in the farm are very convinced of Du Shaojie. Although he is not very old, he has good cooking skills and good canteen management, so everyone can benefit, right?
"Master Du, what are you cooking for lunch?"
The weather was getting colder and colder. Du Shaojie took a rest in the private room after his work in the morning, but he was actually studying various materials.
As usual, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Guixiang came to him to ask about the lunch arrangements.
"We'll have homemade mixed noodles for lunch. Go prepare whatever dishes you have."
Du Shaojie closed the screen and went to the kitchen.
He never just left things alone. The three of them always worked together and cooperated well.
At this moment, Zhao Dajun suddenly came over with a gloomy face.
"Master Du, come out for a moment."
"Can't you talk about it here? I'm going to make lunch."
Du Shaojie felt a little puzzled. What can't be said after cooking? He had to go out now.
"Cook, cook, you only know how to cook! If you have the guts, don't leave. Will no one eat without you? Hurry up, I can finish in a few words. It won't take long."
Zhao Dajun has become very irritable since he received a call from the bureau.
He was not targeting Du Shaojie, but he just had no way to vent his emotions.
"Director, are you crazy? Where am I going? Explain your situation clearly."
Du Shaojie was rebuked by Zhao Dajun for no reason. He immediately put down the things in his hands and dragged him out of the cafeteria.
Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang stared at each other. Why did the director and Master Du quarrel? The relationship between the two of them has always been very good. The director wanted to worship Master Du. What happened today was beyond their imagination.
Zhao Dajun walked outside and was blown by the cold wind, which made him sober up immediately.
"Master Du, don't mind. I'm not talking to you. Alas, the farm finally got a master chef who is difficult to bear, but now he is leaving again. I received a notice from the bureau before, asking you to prepare and report to Xijiang Hotel in three days."
"Xijiang Hotel? It's not in the same system as us, right? The notice didn't say what this is. Is it a formal job transfer or something else?"
Du Shaojie was also confused. He had asked Liao Yongxin to convey a message, clearly rejecting Director Luo's suggestion.
Besides, Director Luo originally said that he wanted to transfer him to the provincial government, and never mentioned Xijiang Hotel.
"Oh, he didn't say it and I didn't ask. Were you angry at the time? Wait, I'll go back and call and ask, and tell you later."
Zhao Dajun found that Du Shaojie really didn't know, and his anger dissipated a lot.
After saying that, he turned around and got on his bicycle, and rushed all the way to the field office.
Du Shaojie thought about it and couldn't guess the reason. It seemed that only Director Cai and Director Luo had an intersection with him and had the ability to make this happen.
It would be clear when he asked Liao Yongxin later.
"Master Du, are you okay?"
Qin Xiaomei asked with concern, and Li Guixiang also looked at Du Shaojie at the same time.
He shook his head and continued to work.
Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang didn't ask too much, so they continued to be busy with their own things. After the water in the pot boiled, the two of them started to pull and cook noodles, and Du Shaojie quickly fried the vegetables.
Zhao Dajun was the first to come in with a rice bowl. He got a bowl of noodles and went out to squat on the open space to eat.
Du Shaojie also asked Li Guixiang to get him a bowl. Then he walked to Zhao Dajun's side and squatted down, asking, "Director, what did the bureau say?"
"This matter has nothing to do with the bureau. It was directly proposed by the higher-ups. They said that you will be seconded to Xijiang Hotel for temporary help for two months. After two months, you will go back to where you came from. Hehe, you have to go back to the farm."
Zhao Dajun was a little embarrassed. He got angry before he understood the situation. This is a bad habit.
If it happens again, it will probably be the same. As the saying goes, it is difficult to change a person's nature. He can't change his character.
Du Shaojie: "."
The two of them ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. After Zhao Dajun finished eating, he stood up and hummed a little tune and left.
Secondment is not a formal job transfer. After helping someone, you have to go back to the farm to work.
Of course, Zhao Dajun actually knew that Du Shaojie would not be able to stay on the farm for the rest of his life. He just hoped that when that day came, the other party would let him know in advance.
Du Shaojie was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Dajun. He was a straightforward person with a bad temper, but he was a really nice person.
"No way, this matter is definitely related to Director Cai (Director Luo)."
Du Shaojie then walked into the cafeteria with an empty rice bowl, and probably guessed the person behind this matter.
But he couldn't figure out why the other party did this? It didn't seem like he had malicious intentions. But if he was kind, he didn't say hello to me.
I really don't understand the thoughts of these big shots.
He had to go, the bureau had issued a direct notice, indicating that the matter had been decided and could not be postponed.
The next day.
Du Shaojie took some time to pack his things. There was no need to take bedding and other things back. He only needed to take some personal belongings. Anyway, he had to come back in two months.
Of course, this was not a bad thing for him. If he had the opportunity to cook, it would definitely be good for his cooking skills.
On the day he left, many employees came to see him off spontaneously.
"Master Du, you must come back after you are done with your work. We still like to eat the food you cook."
"Don't you want to be better to others? If you stay in this corner of our country, it will be difficult to find a wife in the future. Master Du, don't come back if you can. Your future is more important."
Everyone said something different, but everyone was sincere.
Unknowingly, Du Shaojie had established prestige on the farm, relying on his own skills and his impeccable way of dealing with people.
Du Shaojie thanked everyone and got on the bus and left.
When they got home, Wang Yuxiu, Xiaomei and Xiaoya were all shocked. After all, he had only been home for a few days, how could he come back again?
"Son, has something happened?"
Wang Yuxiu's face was full of worry, and even her two sisters looked at Du Shaojie nervously.
Du Shaojie quickly told him about the secondment, and the other party turned from worry to joy.
"Brother, Xijiang Hotel, I really want to go in and take a look."
Xiaoya's eyes were full of stars. Xijiang Hotel is very famous in the local area, but unfortunately ordinary people can't go in. It's not that they are not allowed to enter (not during conference reception), but they don't have the consumption power.
Xiaomei is similar, but she feels that she has new bragging capital in the class. Her brother works in Xijiang Hotel, which will definitely make everyone envious.
Of course, she will not mention the matter of "secondment".
The social status of chefs is still quite high these days. After all, there are no private restaurants, and most chefs belong to state-owned units. Eating public meals, there is still money to be made, which is definitely a profession that many people yearn for.
Even finding a partner has extra points.
"Xiaojie, work hard in the new unit. Even if you have to go back to the farm in two months, you have to leave a good impression on others."
Wang Yuxiu's idea was very simple, and Du Shaojie nodded quickly.
The next day, he went to the unit to get a letter of introduction, and then went straight to Xijiang Hotel.
What he didn't expect was that the person who received him was the manager of the hotel, Cao Dachuan.
"Comrade Du Shaojie, thank you for coming to support us. The hotel has meetings one after another at the end of the year, and the existing staff is really too busy. Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen."
Cao Dachuan was so enthusiastic that if someone didn't know, they would think Du Shaojie was his relative.
Du Shaojie knew very well that the other party was so polite to him because of Director Cai (Director Luo). What's the lack of manpower? A big hotel like this has to host so many meetings every year. How could it be possible to transfer people temporarily?
But he still expressed his gratitude to Manager Cao with a smile on his face. Family members know their own business. He really has no backers.
Afterwards, Cao Dachuan gathered the kitchen staff together and formally introduced Du Shaojie to everyone. These people showed different reactions, some looked down on him, some were envious, and some were indifferent.
"Old Zhong, Xiao Du will follow you during this period. You should give young people more opportunities to exercise, and you should also patiently guide them if they don't understand anything. Do you understand?"
Finally, Cao Dachuan pointed to a man in his fifties and said.
Du Shaojie knew that this man was Zhong Fuxiang, a third-level chef, and one of the pillars of the hotel.
"I understand, Manager Cao."
Zhong Fuxiang didn't talk much, and at first glance he had a dull personality.
However, he was very popular in the hotel, had no temper, and never hid anything from apprentices and young chefs. That's why Cao Dachuan asked him to lead Du Shaojie. If he changed to a troublemaker, something might happen.
"Master Zhong, please give me more advice in the future. If there is anything I don't do well, you can scold me, and I will definitely correct it."
Du Shaojie was very humble. Just based on his age and chef level, he deserved his respect.
"Yeah."
Zhong Dexiang hummed, and nothing more happened.
The people around laughed for a while and then dispersed. After all, there were a lot of things to do in the kitchen, and it was impossible for everyone to be idle and not work.
Cao Dachuan had also left. He had done what he was supposed to do. As long as he paid more attention in the future, there shouldn't be any mistakes.
Zhong Dexiang turned around silently and walked towards his workstation. Du Shaojie followed immediately. No one spoke.
"Where did this relative come from? What can he be capable of at such a young age?"
"What are you worried about? He won't take your job. Didn't you hear what the manager said? He's on loan, on loan!"
"What do you know? He's on loan now, and maybe he'll be officially transferred here after a while. Do you understand how to save the country in a roundabout way?"
"What do you know? What background does he have? You can just pick any unit you want to work for? He came here to gild himself and learn a few dishes by the way. Who cares about your job?"
After Cao Dachuan left, the kitchen was bustling.
There were many different opinions about Du Shaojie, who was on loan, but everyone regarded him as a relative.
