Anyone who can eat spicy food will find boiled fish to be a favorite. It is a delicacy that is suitable for everyone.
In the 1960s, having something to eat and being able to eat your fill was already a great blessing. How could anyone be picky?
As expected, the boiled fish won a lot of applause, and everyone who had eaten it gave a thumbs up to Canteen No. 1.
Even after finishing the meal and returning to work, he kept praising the taste of the boiled fish.
Administration building.
Two figures walked out of the administrative building, one of them was Li Huaide.
Walking with Li Huaide was a man who looked a few years older than him. He was Yang Weimin, the director of the steel rolling mill.
Today is Monday. After a meeting that lasted all morning, the two of them came out of the meeting room and walked towards the cafeteria.
"Deputy Director Li, what are they talking about?"
Walking all the way from the administrative building to Canteen No. 1, all Yang Weimin heard was people talking about the boiled fish that the canteen was making today, which made him a little confused.
"I heard from them that Canteen No. 1 made a new dish today. I think it's called Boiled Fish."
In fact, when Li Huaide heard about boiled fish, he already knew that this must have been caused by Jia Dongsheng.
After all, Jia Dongsheng had made it for him once before, and the taste was still fresh in his memory.
Now hearing Yang Weimin's question, Li Huaide's mind turned, and he immediately thought of making Jia Dongsheng famous.
It was he who recruited Jia Dongsheng into the steel rolling mill. The more famous Jia Dongsheng was, the greater the benefit to Li Huaide. For a factory leader, being able to judge people is already a great honor.
"Boiled fish?"
Yang Weimin narrowed his eyes slightly, a little surprised: "Why haven't I heard of this dish?"
"Maybe it was invented by the people in the kitchen." Li Huaide replied.
"It's possible."
Yang Weimin nodded. "This dish must be delicious, as even our factory workers are praising it so much. I'm just wondering if it's still available since we came so late today."
"Hey, Director Yang, if you don't have any left, just ask the kitchen to make another one. I'd love to try it too."
Thinking of boiled fish, Li Huaide's mouth watered and he wanted to eat it too.
"That won't work. How can we let the kitchen staff cook for us alone?"
Yang Weimin waved his hand and refused directly. He was a rather rigid person and did not know how to adapt.
If it was for a reception, although Yang Weimin was somewhat reluctant, for the sake of the factory, he would still ask the kitchen to do it separately.
However, Yang Weimin was unwilling and would not do such a thing as asking the kitchen to prepare a special meal just for lunch.
This kind of personality is of course very good when it comes to work, but Yang Weimin is much worse when it comes to interpersonal relationships.
Because he was too upright and didn't know how to adapt, he was very methodical most of the time. This led to some strained relationships between him and other large state-owned factories related to the steel rolling mill. That's why the higher-ups sent the sociable Li Huaide to serve as Yang Weimin's deputy.
There is no other way. As the factory director, Yang Weimin is responsible for leading the steel rolling mill to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. There is no doubt that as long as the task is given to him, he will definitely be able to complete it excellently.
But it is impossible for a factory director to only know how to complete tasks but also not know how to get along with sister factories. There will definitely be problems over time.
It was under such circumstances that Li Huaide came to power.
"Director Yang, we can actually ask the kitchen to make it so that we can have a good meal in the future. This way, we can know how the dish tastes."
Li Huaide advised, "Besides, the chef who made this dish was the one I hired last week. It's a good opportunity for you, Director Yang, to come check out his cooking skills and see if the conditions I offer him are suitable."
"Oh, there is such a thing."
Deputy Director Li has the authority to recruit staff for the steel rolling mill. Yang Weimin manages such a large mill, so it is impossible for him to know all the facts.
"Since you, Deputy Director Li, have said so, let the kitchen prepare a boiled fish."
Yang Weimin thought for a moment and said, "But Deputy Director Li, what conditions did you offer this chef?"
"To be honest with Director Yang, the requirements are to be a Level 5 cook and to be able to work later in the morning."
"this..."
If it was a level five cook, Yang Weimin could still accept it. After all, a good chef does play a very important role in hospitality.
But the condition of being able to work later in the morning made Yang Weimin a little confused. This was almost like making an exception for the chef!
Is this necessary for a chef?
Doesn’t Yang Weimin have to come to work on time every day?
"Deputy Director Li, what should we do if we come to work late this evening and are delayed?"
When saying this, Yang Weimin's expression became a little serious, which was somewhat contrary to his work principles.
Seeing Yang Weimin's expression, Li Huaide was mentally prepared, but this matter could not be concealed. What if Yang Weimin found out later?
Regardless of the era, staff members being late or leaving early is something that makes leaders unhappy, so Li Huaide directly stated the conditions he gave to Jia Dongsheng.
"Director Yang, don't worry. This is a slight convenience that can only be granted when work cannot be delayed."
Li Huaide's face showed a hint of difficulty: "The main problem is that this chef's cooking skills are really good, but he is not willing to come to work at all."
"As far as I know, this staff member had been out of town and had just returned to Beijing. I met him by chance. After we met, I wanted to ask him to come to work, but he directly refused."
