Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 93 Moving around
Xue Dingjiang and Xu Benming looked at each other and said with a smile, "It seems that you, Old Li, are very satisfied with Master Nan's cooking skills. I'll have to taste it later."

The chef in their factory is not as skilled as Master He from the steel rolling mill. If a chef better than Master He emerges from the steel rolling mill, they can find a way to poach Master He.

There are many guests at the factory, and with a chef present, things will be easier to negotiate.

While a few people were chatting, dishes were already being served.

Let’s not talk about how this dish tastes, just looking at the appearance, it is much better than the dishes made by He Yuzhu.

"Old Li, your factory really has a great chef. If I hadn't known this was in a steel mill, I would have thought we were eating at a state-owned restaurant."

Xu Benming took a bite of the loach tofu in front of him and immediately praised it.

"Old Xu, if you like to eat, come to our factory more often. I will let Master Nan Yi entertain you in the future."

Li Huaide looked at the delicious dishes in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

What Zhou Weimin said was really right. Nan Yi's hospitality really gave him a big surprise.

"Well, this stir-fried vegetable with meat is also very good, not greasy and better than anything I've had before."

Xue Dingjiang also started to praise at this time. The meal in front of him was the best one he had ever eaten.

"The last dish is chicken stewed with mushrooms."

Just as they were eating, Nan Yi walked in carrying a casserole.

Put the casserole on the table and open the lid, and the house will be filled with fragrance instantly.

"Master Nan, this chicken stewed with mushrooms is also your specialty?"

Just as Nan Yi was about to leave, Li Huaide called out to stop him.

Nan Yi put the casserole lid on the low cabinet beside him, wiped his hands on his apron, and said with a smile: "Not really, I just know how to cook. I heard that all the leaders like to eat this chicken stewed with mushrooms, so I made one for them. I don't know if it's the flavor the leaders like."

"Master Nan, you've worked hard. I'd like to offer you a toast."

Li Huaide was even more satisfied with Nan Yi after hearing this. He picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine for Nan Yi and handed it to him.

"Well, I'm welcome then."

Nan Yi took the wine glass and drank it all.

"I'll be out first. Ma Binggui is at the stairs. Just let him know if you need more food."

After saying that, Nan Yi didn't hesitate and turned around and walked out.

Seeing Nan Yi like this, Yang Shibin's impression of him changed a lot.

He originally thought that Nan Yi was Li Huaide's man, but now it seems that may not be the case.

He is neither humble nor arrogant, and has good skills. I guess it is more convenient to use than Shazhu.

After scooping himself a bowl of chicken soup and taking a sip, Yang Shibin had to admit that Nan Yi's cooking skills were much better than Sha Zhu's.

Take the chicken stewed with mushrooms for example. Although Sha Zhu’s cooking is good, it is not as good as Nan Yi’s. It has a fragrance that is not known how it was made, and the chicken soup is even more delicious.

Originally, when a few people got together, they drank more and ate less, but this time, they just focused on eating and even talked less.

Only after all the dishes on the table were eaten up, and only a thin layer of chicken soup remained at the bottom of the casserole, did they put down their chopsticks in satisfaction.

When the four of them came out of the small box, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces. The two people from the textile factory were satisfied with the meal, and this year the steel mill provided a lot more cloth than before.

The quantity outside the production task is unplanned materials, and the sales proceeds are all benefits of the factory.

The textile factory has good welfare. In addition to the defective cloth that can be sold cheaply in the factory, the factory also has unplanned cloth that is pooled together by various factories and can be exchanged for more welfare benefits or money for welfare benefits.

For example, free salty soda is not available in every factory.

……

"Master Nan, your cooking skills are amazing. I have never seen a leader finish all the treats."

"Yes, I saw the two leaders of the textile factory, their bellies were swollen from eating so much."

"Master Nan, you just take a rest here and we will clean up."

After the four people left, everyone in the four cafeterias immediately surrounded Nan Yi and started talking happily.

With a great chef, the people in the four canteens will benefit a lot in the future.

With so many guests, this excellent canteen will definitely belong to their fourth canteen, which is one dollar more per month.

Let’s not talk about this. When I go to collect my ration every day, I can feel much more confident.

In the past, they were extremely envious of the people in the third canteen, but now it is finally their turn.

"Alright, alright, with so many of you talking at once, I can't hear you clearly. Just make sure the leaders have eaten well. We will definitely entertain them in the fourth canteen in the future. Forget about the lack of leftovers today. Next time, everyone can take turns to take some back and get some of the leftovers. But let me make it clear first. If I want to take some back, you have to save some for me."

Nan Yi looked at the excitement of the crowd and couldn't help but give them some benefits.

He was the only one at home now, so there was no need to use these as treats. As for the last sentence, it was also because he thought that if there was something rare in the future, he could bring it back to try.

After these words were spoken, the people in the fourth canteen became more enthusiastic about Nan Yi, and they all exclaimed that a great chef had come.

Everyone knows Sha Zhu from the third canteen. When he is serving guests, he only keeps his apprentice and a kitchen helper, and the others get nothing.

"Okay, keep your voices down. I'll leave this place to you guys. I'm going to go back first."

Nan Yi looked at their happy faces and didn't feel anything. She took off her apron, turned around and walked out.

……

The next morning, Zhou Weimin was called to Li Huaide's office.

"Wei Min, you really came back looking for someone. I heard from Old Wu that you are getting married soon, and I can't do nothing to show my support. Take these tickets."

Li Huaide took out an envelope from the drawer with a smile on his face and handed it to Zhou Weimin. It was obvious that it had been prepared long ago.

Zhou Weimin put the envelope in his pocket and asked with a smile, "Thank you, Director Li. From now on, I will let Master Nan Yi handle all the entertainments."

Li Huaide raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Let Master Nan Yi be our host, and let Lao Yang and his friends choose for themselves."

Zhou Weimin slapped his forehead, as if he had just remembered He Yuzhu, and then asked in a low voice: "Look at me, how could I forget Master He. By the way, Director Li, I heard that Deputy Director Hong of the Propaganda Department is going to be transferred to the textile factory?"

Li Huaide sat up straight and asked with interest, "Why, which factory's projectionist have you taken a fancy to?"

If Zhou Weimin hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that it was he who recommended Hong Sihai. This guy is really good at judging people.
