Chapter 90 Other People's Children
After returning home, Du Shaojie went to the kitchen first.
He opened the bag and saw that it contained six cans of luncheon meat, six cans of anchovies, and a lot of White Rabbit milk candies. These are all good things at the moment, not only expensive but also hard to buy.
Then he took out a white-striped chicken, two kilograms of eggs, one kilogram of beef ribs, and a pot of cooking oil (5 kilograms) from the storage space and put them away. Then he left the kitchen with the bag and went into the main house.
Wang Yuxiu had just gotten up and was cleaning the house. Seeing her son coming back, she couldn't help but smile.
"What did you bring? Was it given by the host?"
She knew that Du Shaojie was on a business trip today to prepare a banquet, so of course she could guess where the bag of things came from.
"Yes, the host is very polite. You can put this bag of things away. There are also some in the kitchen. Please help me keep the white-striped chicken. I will take a break and continue to practice cooking."
Du Shaojie yawned. He slept late last night and was busy for most of the day today. He felt a little tired.
Wang Yuxiu took the bag, looked at the things inside, and couldn't help but smack her lips: "The host is so generous, he actually gave me so many good things. I have to keep them well, otherwise Xiaoya will definitely covet them every day."
Then, she put the things in the bag away, and then went to the kitchen to take a look.
Du Shaojie went back to the room and wanted to lie down for a while, but he fell asleep directly.
When he woke up, it was almost half past six. He quickly got up, washed his face first, and then planned to cook dinner.
As a result, when he went to the kitchen, he saw that Wang Yuxiu had already stewed the beef ribs. Dinner was a [beef ribs stewed with radish], with soup and vegetables.
"I see you are tired, mom will cook dinner, you go and rest. You can practice cooking after dinner, okay?"
Wang Yuxiu felt sorry for her son and wanted to push Du Shaojie out.
"Mom, don't push me. I'll stew the soup first. I'll use it in the evening."
Du Shaojie was a little amused, then quickly took down the chicken rack, threw it into the soup pot and started to cook.
Then, he walked out.
At this time, Xiaomei and Xiaoya just ran in from outside, both of them were dirty.
"Brother"
the two girls shouted "brother", and then rushed into the house to drink water without looking back.
Du Shaojie followed and asked, "What have you two been doing? Girls, you look like mud monkeys, aren't you embarrassed?"
"Brother, my sister and I were playing shuttlecock outside, and we kicked the shuttlecock into someone else's yard. It took us a long time to get the shuttlecock back. We didn't mean to dirty our clothes."
Xiaoya was not afraid of her brother. She knew how to read his face. Seeing that her brother was not angry, she hurried forward to grab his arm and shook it.
Du Shaojie was almost shaken unconscious.
"Wait a minute, don't talk yet. Xiaomei, let me ask you, how did you get the shuttlecock back?"
Logically, the shuttlecock was kicked into someone else's yard, so you just need to knock on the door to get it back. At most, you can say a few nice words, why do you have to get yourself dirty?
There must be something wrong.
Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, Du Xiaomei had to confess honestly: "We knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it, so we climbed over the wall and went in."
"Being naughty is being naughty, why do you have so many excuses. Do you need two people to climb over the wall to pick up a shuttlecock? I guess you think it's fun, right? Go change your clothes first, and come with me to apologize to the family after dinner."
Although Du Shaojie dotes on his two sisters, he will not protect them when encountering such a thing.
Climbing over the wall to enter someone else's yard is a very bad behavior, no matter how many reasons there are.
Since you have done something wrong, you must correct your mistakes. He couldn't bring himself to beat up his two sisters, so the only way was to apologize to them.
Otherwise, there might be a next time.
"Oh"
Xiaomei and Xiaoya went to change clothes with their heads down. Du Shaojie went to fetch a few buckets of water and Xiaomei quickly washed her and Xiaoya's dirty clothes.
After dinner, Du Shaojie took Xiaomei and Xiaoya to find the family.
This time, they knocked on the door and found a middle-aged couple and two children who had just returned. When Xiaomei and Xiaoya apologized, they finally understood the whole story.
"What's the big deal? Isn't it just picking up shuttlecocks? You're making a fuss. It's not a big deal."
The family was very polite. They were all neighbors. Who would care about such a small matter?
Du Shaojie didn't argue and quickly returned home with his two sisters.
"Where did you go?"
Wang Yuxiu didn't know about this. Seeing the three people coming back from outside so quickly, she asked casually.
"Nothing, just a small problem, it's solved."
Du Shaojie didn't say anything specific, and then asked Xiaomei and Xiaoya to do their homework quickly.
He went to the kitchen to continue practicing the dish [Chicken Slices in Lotus Casserole].
He quickly got into the state and started by processing the chicken, fish and water chestnuts. There were still some water chestnuts left, which was enough for today.
Next, he started to mince the meat, season it, and then scoop out some of the broth and put it in the pot to boil, then season it, thicken it into a glass sauce and put it in a bowl for later use.
Finally, fry the chicken slices. This time, he learned from the experience and lessons of last night and reduced the fire in the furnace to keep the oil temperature below 30%.
After the chicken slices are fried, take them out and pour them into a bowl with glass sauce.
A bright and fragrant [Chicken Slices in Lotus Casserole] is ready.
"Tsk tsk, it's so troublesome to make a dish!"
Wang Yuxiu didn't know when she came in. She dared to speak only after seeing her son finish the job.
Du Shaojie suddenly turned around and realized that he was so absorbed in cooking that he didn't even notice his mother coming in.
"This is the designated test content. Although it's a bit troublesome, you can learn a lot. Mom, have Xiaomei and the others finished their homework?"
"Not yet, they will soon. Xiaojie, go and have a rest after you're done. I'll clean up the kitchen."
Wang Yuxiu responded with a smile, and then went forward to prepare for work.
"Don't clean up yet, Mom, come and taste this dish I made today and see if it's different from what I made last night?"
Du Shaojie immediately took two bowls and put a piece of chicken slices and starch sauce in each.
He handed one of the bowls to Wang Yuxiu, and he also picked up a bowl and started to taste it.
"It's delicious! Fresh and smooth, it's really a dish that can only be made in a big hotel."
Wang Yuxiu didn't have much culture and couldn't say too many words of praise.
But the word "it's delicious" actually represents everything. No matter who makes the dish, isn't it meant to be eaten by people?
Du Shaojie savored it carefully, and the taste was indeed a little better than yesterday. In addition, the heat was well controlled today, and the chicken slices looked as white as jade, with no tiny holes on the surface.
He immediately asked Wang Yuxiu to put the dish away and eat it at noon tomorrow.
Then he cleaned up the kitchen quickly without asking his mother to do it.
He went back to the house to check the homework of his two sisters, and the family went to wash up one by one. After washing up, Du Shaojie went into his room.
Then it was time to count today's harvest:
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: First-class worker]
[Current works: Dry-fried fish, Lotus chicken slices]
[Overall evaluation: medium-low, low-low]
[Bonus: Hotel Management Tutorial (IX) (X)]
[Reward: Glutinous rice (4 kg), simulation training time (40 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Duration: 340 hours\710 hours]
Du Shaojie was overjoyed and couldn't help but lie on the ground and do 50 push-ups.
He was really lucky. This was the second time he made this [Chicken Slices with Lotus Flour] by himself. He didn't expect to get a comprehensive evaluation of "bad".
On the one hand, his foundation was very solid. On the other hand, he had chefs like Zhong Fuxiang and Liao Yongxin to teach him by example. So this was not a fluke, but a necessity in the accident.
I won't say anything more. I hurried into the simulation training scene to practice.
The next day.
The restaurant of Xijiang Hotel stopped operating to the public. Most of the guests had checked out and left. Those who didn't leave were arranged uniformly and would be "isolated" from the participants.
Today is the registration day, and the restaurant is not too busy.
Du Shaojie seized all his free time to prepare for the exam, or learn theoretical knowledge, or conduct simulation training, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to practice.
Twelve tables were arranged for noon. The participants ate according to the food standards, with ten people at a table, not in the form of a buffet. If a table really couldn't get enough people, it would be allocated by the conference affairs team. The restaurant didn't care about these things.
Twelve tables are nothing for such a big hotel.
Today, Dong Jun finally had the opportunity to cook, but Zhong Fuxiang was very dissatisfied with the dishes he cooked in succession.
Master Zhong only pointed out his shortcomings and stopped talking. When Cao Dachuan came to inspect, he scolded Dong Jun so much that he almost hit him with a big spoon.
"Look at you, you don't even understand the sweet and sour ratio of the [Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin]. Have you worked for so many years in vain? Get out of the way, Xiao Du, you do it."
Cao Dachuan was still quite majestic when he frowned.
Dong Jun didn't dare to open his mouth to defend himself, and lowered his head to make way for the workstation.
Du Shaojie hurried forward, started to heat the pan first, and then started to make the sweet and sour sauce. The tenderloin had been fried before, and he only needed to complete the last step before he could take it out of the pan and serve it on a plate.
He had made this dish several times before, and it had received an overall evaluation of "so-so". But today, as soon as he started, he felt particularly good. The whole production process was very smooth and took little time.
Zhong Fuxiang came over to taste it and nodded at Cao Dachuan.
The [Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin] made by Du Shaojie is sweet and sour, with just the right ratio of sweet and sour. The dish has a ruddy color and looks very tempting. If we have to compare, Dong Jun's previous dish was inferior.
Cao Dachuan also tasted it and thought it was very good.
Then he pointed at Dong Jun and said, "Look at how old Xiao Du is. How old are you? I think you live too comfortably and don't want to make progress. Are you thinking about getting married all day? You and Xiao Du will switch positions, and you will stay at the chopping block post."
After hearing this, Dong Jun was silent, but looked at Du Shaojie with resentful eyes.
Du Shaojie: "."
He felt very innocent. How come he became "someone else's child" in the blink of an eye?
