Chapter 94 Chapter 94 "If you don't want to learn, get out!"...
Director Zhang saw Jiang Qiuyue coming in and asked her not to close the door. He paid special attention to this because he was afraid that someone would say something nonsense that would affect his glorious retirement.
"Sit down. I have good news for you." Director Zhang looked at Jiang Qiuyue with a smile and took a sip of tea from his enamel cup. "The dishes you cooked yesterday were very well received in the cafeteria. Political Commissar Wang found me and asked you to teach the chef in the cafeteria. This will help us win face for our military region when leaders from outside come to visit us in the future."
Jiang Qiuyue grasped the key point, "Political Commissar Wang asked me to teach Fang Xia and the others how to cook?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Director Zhang looked at Jiang Qiuyue.
“Isn’t this inappropriate?”
Jiang Qiuyue said, "It's not that I don't want to teach. Director, you know that chefs have to learn from a master. Fang Xia is Master Huang's apprentice. If I teach her to cook, others will poke her in the back. Besides, Master Huang and Master Xu are both old masters. Will they listen to me?"
If it was Master Xu, Jiang Qiuyue wouldn't care whether to teach or not. If the person was willing to learn, she would teach.
But let’s not talk about Fang Xia and Huang Yunhui, especially Fang Xia. She is not so generous as to teach cooking skills to people she hates.
Seeing Director Zhang frown, Jiang Qiuyue continued, "And you also know that Master Xu has some skills, but Master Huang has no skills. He has connections, so even if others learn from him, if he doesn't learn, others won't dare to do better than him."
"Director, I know what you want to say to me, but I have only one attitude. I can teach everyone except Fang Xia. But think about it, is Master Huang willing to learn cooking from me?"
Jiang Qiuyue knew without a second thought that Huang Yunhui would definitely go on strike and curse after hearing this.
Huang Yunhui usually walks around the canteen with a swagger. He never treats anyone well except the two directors. He has worked in the canteen for more than 20 years. Now he and Jiang Qiuyue are asked to learn cooking skills. If they tell others, they will definitely laugh at him. How can he be willing to do it?
"I have asked Deputy Director Cui to do their job. This is an order from above. If they don't do it well, they must improve."
Director Zhang said with a serious face, "If Huang Yunhui doesn't agree, then he shouldn't be the chef. There are many people in the cafeteria who want to learn cooking. This time he can't have the final say. As for Fang Xia, I know you have conflicts, but we are all comrades of the party and the country. We should put aside our past grudges and help each other to better build the country. Jiang Qiuyue, you should be more tolerant. As a military family member, you should have this awareness, right?"
"Director, I am a vindictive and petty person. No matter what you say to me, I won't admit it. It's useless for you to tell me these big truths. I just hate Fang Xia. I hate her to the core."
Jiang Qiuyue directly admitted that she was petty and blocked Director Zhang's other big truths. She didn't care about false reputation. As a human being, the most important thing is to live a happy life.
It was the first time that Director Zhang heard someone say that he was narrow-minded. Others wanted to give him all kinds of good names. This Jiang Qiuyue was really strange.
However, if Jiang Qiuyue is willing to teach cooking to others, it's fine. Fang Xia is Huang Yunhui's apprentice. When Huang Yunhui learns, he will teach Fang Xia. And Jiang Qiuyue is right. It's not good to be apprentice to two masters at the same time, otherwise Fang Xia will not be able to live a normal life.
"Okay, then you go to the kitchen and work now. Give them some instructions before Shuangshuang comes back." Director Zhang said.
Jiang Qiuyue said yes, "But Director Zhang, cooking skills require a master to learn. This is our fine tradition. It's the same for the masters in the factory. As long as they are willing to learn from me, I am willing to teach them."
Of course, Huang Yunhui would not agree. If he didn't learn, Fang Xia wouldn't be able to learn. If he wanted to learn, Fang Xia would be Jiang Qiuyue's disciple. Wouldn't she have to come to the master's house to help out during festivals in the future?
Jiang Qiuyue found it interesting when she thought of Huang Yunhui's ugly face when he heard about this.
At this time, Cui Yuan was stopped by others. Today, three chefs were working together. Fang Xia was very considerate and made tea for Huang Yunhui and cleaned the table. Huang Yunhui only had to cook.
"Master, have some tea." Fang Xia said that Cui Yuan had already contacted Jiang Qiuyue, "It was Deputy Director Cui who had to come forward. Jiang Qiuyue can only show off for a day, but she will have to do her job of serving food honestly in the future."
After knowing that Huang Yunhui had the final say on the post of chef, Fang Xia tried her best to please Huang Yunhui, and only then did she become his apprentice, and forced Cui Yuanduo to get the position of head chef.
Fang Xia has always felt that when working in an organization, being a good person is much more important than doing good work.
No matter how well you do, it's useless if you don't please your leader.
Huang Yunhui sat in a chair, drinking tea comfortably, and shook his head at the people who were cutting vegetables. None of them had any tact. Only Fang Xia knew how to behave.
"She is just a top class, don't worry too much about her. But she doesn't know how to behave, so she should be taught a lesson."
"I know, I've already arranged it." Fang Xia found someone to go to Jiang Qiuyue to trouble her when she served the food. She was not a pushover and would not be bullied by Jiang Qiuyue for no reason.
Huang Yunhui nodded with satisfaction. In the kitchen, he always had the final say.
He pointed at An Xi who was cutting vegetables and said with a click of the tongue, "Do you know how to cut vegetables? If you can't, let someone else do it. The cabbage is cut so thickly, it won't taste good later. Are you responsible?"
Knowing that An Xi and Jiang Qiuyue were close, Huang Yunhui deliberately made things difficult for her, "Where's Jiang Qiuyue? Did she go out to slack off?"
An Xi was holding her breath. What did it have to do with her whether the food tasted good or not?
It’s because that bastard Huang Yunhui can’t cook it well!
An Xi pretended not to hear it, but someone else said that Director Zhang called Jiang Qiuyue over.
"Director Zhang called her? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Huang Yunhui said unhappily, "Who of you go check? The kitchen is so busy right now. She can't hide away and slack off. Even if she's the one taking over, she has to be diligent and down-to-earth, otherwise, does Wu Shuangshuang not want this job anymore?"
Although he said he was busy, Huang Yunhui was drinking tea with Fang Xia, and neither of them showed any intention of helping.
But Xu Jinan couldn't stand it anymore and helped to cut the vegetables.
An Xi put down the kitchen knife and said, "I'll go find it."
After leaving the kitchen, An Xi cursed "old man" in mouth language, and she felt better.
But Jiang Qiuyue was indeed gone for some time. What could Director Zhang want from Jiang Qiuyue?
An Xi was thinking this when she just walked downstairs to the office and saw Jiang Qiuyue coming downstairs with a smile on her face.
"An Xi, come here quickly, I want to tell you something happy!" Jiang Qiuyue ran over and took An Xi's arm, "You will never guess what Director Zhang said to me."
"What?" An Xi was aroused by Jiang Qiuyue's curiosity. "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what's going on."
Jiang Qiuyue and An Xi went to the cafeteria together. "Director Zhang said that Political Commissar Wang complained that the food in the cafeteria was not tasty and asked us to make some changes. That must start with a few chefs..."
Before Jiang Qiuyue could finish, An Qian interrupted excitedly, "Could it be that Political Commissar Wang wants to remove Huang Yunhui?"
"No, I want him to become my apprentice." Jiang Qiuyue and An Qian raised their eyebrows after saying this. "Think about it, Huang Yunhui has worked in the cafeteria for more than 20 years and is already a veteran. I just showed off my cooking skills yesterday, and Director Zhang asked Huang Yunhui to learn how to cook from me. Is that a big slap in his face?"
The more Jiang Qiuyue talked, the more excited she became. "Let's walk faster. I can't wait to see Huang Yunhui's expression when he hears this."
An Xi burst out laughing. "Huang Yunhui must be as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly. Just now when you were not in the kitchen, Huang Yunhui asked if you were being lazy and asked me to come find you. I think he just wanted to cause trouble for you, but he didn't expect Director Zhang to arrange this for him."
She was also looking forward to it. Who could have thought that Director Zhang hated Huang Yunhui so much? Director Zhang must have been patient for a long time, and this time it was a rectification order issued by Political Commissar Wang, and Huang Yunhui had no choice but to learn from it.
"I didn't expect that either." Jiang Qiuyue said with a laugh.
An Xi also laughed, but she still covered her mouth, "Do you think Huang Yunhui will agree?"
"Of course not. At his age, calling me Master Jiang would make a fool of himself in front of everyone in the cafeteria. Even if you put a knife to his neck, he wouldn't agree."
Just as Jiang Qiuyue finished speaking, she heard an angry roar coming from the kitchen.
"What did you say? You want Jiang Qiuyue and I to learn cooking from you. Is it my hearing that is broken, or is it you and Director Zhang who are broken-minded?"
No matter how good their relationship was, Huang Yunhui couldn't help but yell at Cui Yuan after hearing such an outrageous thing.
Cui Yuan said that this was an order from Political Commissar Wang. He wanted to pull Huang Yunhui out to talk, but Huang Yunhui shook his hand off.
"If you have something to say, just say it here. There's nothing shameful." Huang Yunhui's neck was bulging with veins and his fists were clenched. "I, Huang Yunhui, have worked in our cafeteria for more than 20 years. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard, right? Even if Political Commissar Wang wants to make changes, is it necessary for me to learn from Jiang Qiuyue? This is too humiliating, isn't it?"
Huang Yunhui had just told Fang Xia that he would teach Jiang Qiuyue a lesson when she came back, but he didn't expect that Director Zhang would ask Cui Yuan to slap him in the face.
If he were to learn cooking from Jiang Qiuyue, how would he survive in the cafeteria in the future?
Huang Yunhui thought that what he said would resonate with others, and Fang Xia stood up and asked if it was inappropriate. Everyone else just stood there and looked at him without saying anything.
Are you all laughing at him?
"Master Huang, don't be angry." Cui Yuan leaned over and whispered, "Other military district leaders came yesterday. After they ate the dishes made by Fang Xia, they all said that they were not tasty. This made Political Commissar Wang lose face, so he wanted to make changes. Political Commissar Wang said that if this matter is not handled properly, Director Zhang may not get the honor of glorious retirement. You also know that Director Zhang is just waiting for glorious retirement."
"Don't be angry, let's cooperate. I'm not really asking you to worship Jiang Qiuyue as your master. Otherwise, Director Zhang will let you and Fang Xia change jobs."
Huang Yunhui was even more furious when he heard the word "change of position", especially when Jiang Qiuyue walked in with an expression of watching a show, which made him say on the spot, "If you have the guts, just remove my position. I want to see who dares to take my place?"
He stared at the people in the kitchen, slammed his enamel cup, and sat on the stove.
Cui Yuan said anxiously, "Master Huang, don't be angry. Director Zhang is also doing this for the future development of the canteen."
"Fuck development! I don't believe it today. Without my nod, can you make a meal today?" After Huang Yunhui finished speaking, Fang Xia also sat on it.
"That's right. My master has worked so hard in the cafeteria for so many years. Director Zhang is too bullying!" Fang Xia knew that when it was her turn to take sides, it was obvious that she only had Huang Yunhui to choose.
Seeing them, master and disciple, sitting on the stove, Cui Yuantou was about to explode. He wanted to help Huang Yunhui and his disciple, but Huang Yunhui wouldn't listen to a word he said.
Just when Cui Yuan was thinking hard about what to do, Xu Jinan spoke first, "I am willing to become your disciple. It would be great to learn some skills. Comrade Jiang Qiuyue's cooking is delicious."
When others heard Xu Jin say this, some of them were tempted. After all, the salary of a chef is high and this is a rare opportunity.
However, they were still jealous of Huang Yunhui, and no one dared to agree.
Jiang Qiuyue smiled and said, "Master Xu, you don't have to be too formal. I'll just stay in the cafeteria for a few days. If you want to learn anything, you can ask me. As long as I know how to do it, I'll tell you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Yunhui came down and threw Xu Jinan's pot on the ground.
"I said, no one is allowed to learn cooking from Jiang Qiuyue. Xu Jinan, are you deaf, or do you really think my words are ineffective?" Huang Yunhui and Xu Jinan stood face to face, staring at Xu Jinan viciously.
As a result, Director Zhang walked in. He happened to hear what Huang Yunhui said. He frowned and looked at Cui Yuan, thinking that Cui Yuan's work was terrible.
"Master Huang, this is an order from above. If you don't accept it, then don't do it." Director Zhang went to see Fang Xia again and saw her sitting on the stove. He shouted to scare the monkeys, "If you don't want to learn, get out. Do you really think you own the cafeteria?"
