Chapter 97 Another salary increase
"[Da Qian Dry-fried Fish] reminds me of my hometown, and [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork] reminds me of the taste of my childhood. The other dishes are also great. I really found a treasure this time."
The host also kept praising Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin. So many people didn't realize that the dishes on this table were made by two people.
Generally, if there are many tables at a banquet, different chefs are usually responsible for several tables, rather than making dishes for one table separately. This is mainly because they are worried about obvious differences in taste, but this problem obviously does not exist today.
After the meal, Liao Yongxin and Du Shaojie said goodbye and left, and took the bus back to the city.
"Xiao Du, take this 50 yuan, and I won't give you cigarettes and alcohol. Consider it your filial piety to me."
After the two got off the car, Liao Yongxin secretly stuffed 50 yuan into Du Shaojie's pocket.
This was a hard work fee for each other. Liao Yongxin didn't take more, and divided it equally between each person.
But he accepted the cigarettes and alcohol given by the host without hesitation, and didn't give Du Shaojie any.
"Okay! Master Liao, don't forget what you promised me. When I have time one day, I will ask you about the making of hot pot base."
The two separated at the station and took different bus lines home.
When Du Shaojie arrived at the door of his house, he found a padlock on the door, which meant that no one was at home. But he had the key, so he opened the door and went straight into the kitchen.
He then took out some pig intestines, pig livers, and all the pig fat from the storage space.
Then he went into the house to wash his hands and face. Just after drinking a glass of water, Wang Yuxiu came back from outside with Xiaomei and Xiaoya.
"Mom, what did you do with them?"
Du Shaojie asked casually, and then grabbed some melon seeds, peanuts and fruit candies from the bag and put them on the table. The
melon seeds and peanut candies were given by the host of today's wedding banquet, saying that they would let everyone share the joy.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya were very happy. They hurriedly washed their hands and sat down to eat melon seeds and peanuts.
"I took them to take a bath, but there were too many people in the bathhouse today. We had to
wait in line for a long time, which delayed our return." It is inconvenient to take a bath at home in winter. Usually, we can only use hot water to wash.
You have to go to the bathhouse to take a bath. It costs 10 cents per person, and 30 cents for three people. It is not realistic to go often, so reasonable arrangements are needed.
There is a bathing place in Xijiang Hotel.
Du Shaojie has been taking a bath at work during this period, so he has not gone to the bathhouse. Du Shaojie nodded and winked at Wang Yuxiu, who understood and followed him into the inner room.
"Mom, take this 30 yuan. There are some pork offal and lard in the kitchen. I will take a break and deal with them later."
Du Shaojie took out 30 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yuxiu, who took it.
She knew that her son went to the steel plant with Master Liao to host a banquet today. Needless to say, the money must have been given by the host.
"Xiaojie, do you want to keep some?"
The mother loves her son. Her son is grown up now, so he must have some spare money, right?
Du Shaojie shook his head, indicating that he had money.
There were 20 tables for the banquet today, which normally required at least three chefs to complete. In the end, Liao Yongxin and Du Shaojie were able to handle it, and the host gave him a total of 100 yuan, which was considered generous.
Liao Yongxin did not cheat him on the money, and gave him 50 yuan. He kept 20 yuan for himself, preparing to save enough to buy a radio.
"Okay, leave the money here with me, and I'll give it to you whenever you need it."
Wang Yuxiu turned and left her son's room, happily hiding the money.
Du Shaojie took a short nap, and then went to the kitchen to clean the pig's large intestine. The pig's large intestine is difficult to clean, and needs to be repeatedly scrubbed with flour, white vinegar (or strong liquor), and salt.
There was no white vinegar at home, so he asked Xiaomei to go to the agency store at the entrance of the alley to get some bulk "Laobai Gan".
Then he worked for more than half an hour to clean the pig's large intestine.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya stood behind him for a long time, and they couldn't move their feet when they thought about having delicious food in the evening.
"Xiaomei, go get some pickled cabbage, not too much, one bowl is enough. Help me prepare the onions, ginger, garlic and chili later, and we'll be ready to eat soon."
Du Shaojie then went to fetch a few buckets of water and added some coal to the furnace, and began to blanch the pig's large intestine.
After blanching, wash it with cold water and cut it, and finally prepare the ingredients and small ingredients.
Next, start to heat the pot, put an appropriate amount of clear oil in the pot, and then fry the peeled garlic. When the garlic is fried until golden, remove it and set it aside.
When the oil temperature rises again, pour in the cut pig's large intestine and stir-fry, and at the same time cook high-proof white wine, then add onions, ginger, chili, fried garlic, and pickled cabbage to stir-fry, pour in soy sauce, and add boiling water to the pot to simmer.
When the pig's large intestine can be chewed, cook it on high heat to reduce the soup, season it, and then it can be served.
The pork liver is cut and fried on the spot, and the stir-frying technique is still used. The whole process is similar to [Stir-fried kidney flower].
"It's time to eat!"
After a dish of [Sour Cabbage and Pork Intestines] and a dish of [Stir-fried Pork Liver] were all ready, the family sat around and started eating.
Both dishes are heavy-tasting, heavy in oil, salt, and spicy, but for Wang Yuxiu and her two sisters, they are rare delicacies.
The mother and her two daughters were very satisfied with the meal. Du Shaojie put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to make lard.
The boiled lard is placed in a jar and can be stored for a long time in winter. The oil residue cannot be wasted, and Wang Yuxiu decided to use it to stew Chinese cabbage tomorrow.
At night.
Du Shaojie checked his harvest for the day.
[Bound Chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: First-class Worker]
[Current works: Dry-fried fish, beef stew, stir-fried kidney, pickled pork intestines, stir-fried pork liver]
[Overall evaluation: medium, medium-low, medium-low, medium-low, medium-low]
[Bonus: Hotel Management Tutorial (Sixteen) (Classic Case Collection)]
[Rewards: White-striped chicken (8 kg), pig skin (8 kg), simulation training time (160 hours)]
[Special rewards: None]
[Duration: 238 hours\1010 hours]
Du Shaojie achieved the biggest harvest ever, with four dishes receiving a comprehensive evaluation of "medium-low" and one dish receiving a comprehensive evaluation of "medium".
The rewarded white-striped chicken and pig skin together weighed 16 kg, and the simulation training time became abundant again.
He then looked through various materials, and then went to the simulation training scene for another 20 hours before going to bed.
[Duration: 218 hours\1010 hours]
In a blink of an eye, it was time to get the certificate.
Early in the morning, Du Shaojie went to the Commercial Bureau and got his "Level 3 Chef Certificate". He was naturally happy in his heart, the only drawback was that the certificate was too rough and looked ugly.
Along the way, he pedaled his bicycle briskly, humming a little tune while riding.
Just now, the system data has been updated, and the level column shows "Level 3 Chef" instead of "Level 1 Worker".
When he came to Xijiang Hotel, many people thought that Du Shaojie must have encountered a happy event today, because he did not hide his joy at all.
"Did you get the chef certificate?"
Zhong Fuxiang knew it well and asked casually.
"I got it! Thank you Master Zhong for your teaching. By the way, can I call the farm? I need to contact the farm for something."
Du Shaojie still respected Zhong Fuxiang. Although the other party was serious, he never kept secrets in teaching skills. No matter what the question was, he would patiently answer it and even demonstrate it himself.
He was not a heartless person. He took this opportunity to express his sincere gratitude to Zhong Fuxiang.
Then, he proposed to call the farm.
"It's our duty to help each other. There's no need to be too polite. Go to the service desk when I call you. Xiao Dong, go tell the service desk so that they don't know Xiao Du."
Zhong Fuxiang was quite enthusiastic and asked Dong Jun to take Du Shaojie to the service desk. After all,
Du Shaojie was not an employee of the hotel and had not been here for a long time. It was estimated that the people at the service desk might not know him.
Making a phone call was a small matter. Du Shaojie quickly dialed the farm's phone: "Hello, hello, please help me call Director Zhao."
"Master Du? This is Zhao Dajun. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhao Dajun happened to answer the phone. There was only one phone in the farm, and he had an extension in his office.
Du Shaojie didn't say much and immediately told him about his "Level 3 Chef Certificate".
"Great! Congratulations, congratulations. I'll have someone file it for you first, and then you can take the relevant information to the personnel department of the bureau. They are responsible for the re-grading, and the farm doesn't have this power."
Zhao Dajun naturally understood the purpose of the other party's call and explained the follow-up matters in a few words.
It was not very convenient to talk at the service desk, so Du Shaojie thanked him and hung up the phone.
After he left, several girls started talking about how they had never noticed that there was such a handsome young worker in the restaurant.
Du Shaojie returned to the kitchen and started to work. During lunch, he said hello to Zhong Fuxiang: "Master Du, I have to go to the Electric Power Industry Bureau in the afternoon to handle the re-classification."
"Go ahead, this is a big deal! You don't have to come back after you finish your work in the afternoon, just go to work on time tomorrow morning."
Zhong Fuxiang had already received a verbal notice from Cao Dachuan and knew that Du Shaojie had only a few days left in the hotel, so he responded to every request.
The young man was a good person. He had been here for such a long time and had hardly asked for a vacation. He had also completed all the tasks assigned to him impeccably. Sometimes he even thought that it would be great if he could keep him in the hotel. Du Shaojie came to the bureau
just after work in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the office building, he met Zhai Yucheng who was walking towards him. "Xiao Du? Haven't seen you for a long time. Are you here to do some work?" "I'm going to the Personnel Department. Uncle Zhai, are you and Uncle Chen all right? I seldom come here when there's nothing to do. I'll visit you and Uncle Chen at home when I'm free." Du Shaojie lowered his voice, addressing them the same way as when he was on the farm. Although Zhai Yucheng and Chen Jizhou have resumed their work, they don't have official positions, and their lives are not necessarily easy. "We're both fine. Let's have a drink together when we get a chance. You go and get busy. I have to go, too." Zhai Yucheng hurried out, and Du Shaojie went to find the person in charge of personnel. The other party followed the process and asked Du Shaojie to fill out the form first and archive the chef qualification level information. The personnel department still needs to verify it, and then the re-grading can be completed. Starting next month, Du Shaojie's salary will be paid according to the new grading standards, and he won't get it until the month after next. This means that he will get another salary increase.
