Siheyuan: Superintendent at the beginning, wife Reba!

Sister Wang opened a jar with the word "1" written on it. As soon as the mouth of the jar was opened, a refreshing aroma suddenly filled the carriage. Director Xu, who went all the way to Anshan with Zhang Chengfei, swallowed his saliva immediately, "What is this? It smells so good?"

Sister Wang lowered her head and took a look into the clay pot, then took a pair of chopsticks and took out a little bit. She studied it carefully and said, "They are all small dices, maybe eggplant dices...but the smell is not the same." Like..."

Who hasn’t eaten eggplant? No matter how I cook it, it always smells astringent, but it's not such a refreshing fragrance.

Director Xu of the Publicity Department is a foodie. Seeing that Sister Wang couldn't figure it out, he immediately stretched out the lunch box and said, "Get me some, and I'll try to see if it's eggplant."

Sister Wang was here to accompany the leader. Of course she had no objection. She immediately used the small wooden spoon that came with Nanyi to scoop up a ladle of soup and ingredients and poured it on Director Xu's rice.

Director Xu's eyes were green with greed for a long time. He immediately used chopsticks to bring rice and vegetables, and took a big mouthful of vegetable soup into his mouth. The eggplant is simmered in oil. As soon as it is put into the mouth, the oil immediately flows down the corners of the mouth.

It wasn't enough for Director Xu to take one bite, and he had to eat it one after another.

He ate without saying a word, and the others suddenly became anxious, "No, Director Xu, please don't just eat it. Please tell me, is this eggplant???"

Director Xu swallowed the last bite with vegetables and rice, smacked his lips, and said, "It tastes a bit like eggplant, but I have lived for more than 50 years and I have never eaten such good eggplant!!!"

"You think this is not the Qie Yu from Dream of Red Mansions, right?"

This is why he dared to mention the Dream of Red Mansions because the people in the carriage are all close friends with him. Otherwise, these "poisonous weeds" of feudal society cannot be mentioned.

When everyone heard that he praised this dish so highly, they immediately stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the food and taste it. Someone with a relatively high level of education took a deep dive into the clay pot, took out a diced eggplant, tasted it, smacked it, and said, "This is not eggplant. There is only eggplant in it, without minced meat or chicken breast."

"Yes, the book said that there is chicken and melon seed meat in the eggplant." Director Xu also said.

Director Wu, who was in charge of the workshop, was a rough guy who didn’t know anything about brothels. He scooped a large spoonful of diced eggplant into his lunch box, stirred it into a bibimbap, and while pulling it into his mouth, he snorted, " No matter what, it’s just delicious, isn’t it over??”

"I said you guys are stupid. Look at me, Director Zhang. In a short while, he picked up half a box of lunch and replenished the dishes twice. If you continue to discuss it for a while, not to mention the eggplant flavor, even the eggplant butt will be gone! !!”

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to cook and stopped talking to a few people.

When Director Xu and others heard what he said, they turned to look at Zhang Chengfei, right? This guy was quietly cooking at some point.

At this time, the rice in the lunch box has bottomed out, and I am about to add a third dish. The few of them looked at each other, immediately stopped discussing, and just immersed themselves in their food.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Chengfei wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the few people who were immersed in cooking, and began to tell them the origin of these dishes, "You don't know yet, right? These dishes are specially prepared for everyone by Nan Yi, the chef of our first cafeteria. Prepared street food.”

Director Xu had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and his tongue could hardly stir it up, but he still raised his head very approvingly, "What is street food??"

Although the other people did not speak, they raised their heads and looked at Zhang Chengfei. Their mouths were full of vegetables and they were still eating, like little hamsters.

Zhang Chengfei saw that they didn't understand, so he stopped trying to keep it secret and started to popularize the knowledge of street food to everyone.

"Road vegetables, as the name suggests, are vegetables eaten on the road. This is a very broad concept. For example, when ordinary people go out to go to the market to do errands, they bring a few wotou, a few flatbreads, and boiled eggs and salted duck eggs. , or the dishes that dignitaries ask their chefs to cook, they can all be called street dishes."

"And these dishes made by Nanyi are the dishes that dignitaries ate on the road when they went out in ancient times."

When Zhang Chengfei said this, Section Chief Wu nodded, "Yes, Nan Yi's ancestor was the imperial chef, and the famous Yahe Ju in Sijiu City is their family's property. It's not unusual for him to cook such delicious street food. "

Director Xu added some more vegetables for himself, and while he was serving the dishes, he freed his mouth and asked, "Then what's so special about the street food that this dignitary eats???"

He knew that the salted duck eggs, pickled vegetable dumplings, and steamed buns that the common people ate were shelf-stable. But he didn't see why Nanyi made these dishes. There was something special about it.

Zhang Chengfei saw that Director Xu was eager to learn, so he immediately told him the knowledge he had learned from Nan Yi. He said that whether a dish can become a street food depends on whether it can meet three requirements.

"The first requirement for this dish is that it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, then the official might as well just make it with a few salted duck eggs and a roll of flatbread."

As soon as he said this, Director Xu and others suddenly showed knowing smiles.

Zhang Chengfei took the tea from Sister Wang and said, "The second criterion for Lu Cai is that it must be able to be kept.

In ancient times, carriages and horses were slow. It usually took an official two and a half months to go from one place to another... In the middle of it, he might have to walk for more than ten days in an uninhabited place. If you can't help but grow hair, the boss will feel sick after eating it, right? ? "

As for the third criterion for street food, it must be portable. If the cook cooks a boiled fish and the blood is abundant, shouldn't it be spilled all the way? ? This is not the future, there is no such thing as One Belt, One Road.

After explaining Lu Cai, Zhang Chengfei still wanted to give Nan Yi a sense of presence.

He told several leaders that Nanyi made a special trip to Xicheng District for their business trip and found his master for advice. Under his guidance, he made these three dishes.

"The first dish we just had was eggplant." After hearing this, Director Xu asked again and pointed to the remaining jars, "What are in these???"

"Nanyi has made three special dishes in total, namely braised diced eggplant, roasted radish strips, and roasted cabbage."

These three dishes are all delicious that cannot be eaten outside, and Nan Yi spent a lot of effort to make them.

As for the remaining two jars, they contained Wang Zhihe’s soybean curd and Qinfangju’s sweet soy cucumber.

"Nanyi said that time was tight and he could only cook three dishes, so he prepared two small pickles for everyone to make do with." Zhang Chengfei explained.

Naturally, the leaders had no objections. They were used to traveling on business, and they hated train meals.

The food on the train in this era was similar to that in later generations. Either boiled cabbage with a little salt, or boiled radish with a little salt, or boiled potatoes.

At this time, there were road dishes and Wang Zhihe, Qinfangju was eating, and I already felt as if I was in heaven.

After finishing the meal, several people lay on their respective beds. Some took a nap, some read, and some chatted. The train swayed forward like an old scalper, but it was a rare leisure time on board.

After lunch, it was time for dinner. I opened 2's clay pot and found roasted radish strips inside. Everyone ate to their satisfaction. Let's play poker together in the evening when we have nothing to do.

In this era, it was popular for cadres in all major units to play poker, and there was even a jingle, "Tuck a deck of cards in your waist, and you will follow whoever you catch."

In this era, there were no mobile phones, no computers, no KTVs and foot bath shops, and no "rich families", so everyone played cards not only to kill time, but also to connect with each other.

Since there happened to be six people, everyone planned to destroy six houses. This is also a classic gameplay of this era. Zhang Chengfei has never played before, but he is smart and can understand it after listening to Sister Wang explain it once.

A few people played cards to kill time for a while. It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening when the train stopped midway and a few people got out of the car to have some fun.

After riding in the car for a day, several people still felt unsteady when their feet suddenly landed. Zhang Chengfei took the time to smoke a few cigarettes. When he heard the conductor urging him to get on the train, he threw the cigarette butts on the ground, wiped them out and walked to the train. When he was about to enter, he bumped into a lame man.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." The cripple apologized to Zhang Chengfei politely.

Seeing that he was being polite, Zhang Chengfei was about to smile and say it didn't matter. Unexpectedly, the tall man wearing a cotton hat behind the lame man gave him a sideways glance, "You don't have eyes? Are you bumping into people???"

"Huh? You're so bold??" Zhang Chengfei's eyes turned cold and he looked the man in the cotton-padded jacket up and down, "What? Are you looking for trouble?"

--Labour and management are worried that they have no place to stretch their muscles after taking the train all day! !

The man in the cotton hat was a spoiled man. Seeing that Zhang Chengfei was not afraid of him, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and taught him a lesson. Seeing this, the lame man on the side yelled hurriedly, "Cotton monkey, don't look for trouble!!! Have you forgotten what we came out for??"

"I haven't forgotten, Brother Shui..." The man who was called Mianhou'er immediately softened, and after exchanging a smile with the lame man, he turned to look at Zhang Chengfei again.

Not to mention that look, Zhang Chengfei also understood - you are lucky, I will let you go today! !

Zhang Chengfei didn't pay attention to his eyes because his attention was on the names these two people called each other.

Cotton monkey, Brother Shui? ? ? ? Think again about the direction the car is headed.

"Water flows by itself? Luo Shibin??? Interesting..." Zhang Chengfei looked at the backs of the two people with a faint smile on his lips.

The train wandered on the road for several days, and finally stopped at Anshan Railway Station one afternoon. When Zhang Chengfei got off the bus, he noticed that Luo Shibin and Shui Ziliu also got off here.

Because it was an official cooperation, Anshan Steel Rolling Mill specially sent a car to pick up Zhang Chengfei and his party.

Sitting in the car, looking at the Russian-style buildings lined up on the roadside and the clothes of passers-by, Zhang Chengfei couldn't help but sigh that the three northeastern provinces were still very wealthy at this time.

The Forty-Nine Cities and the Shanghai Stock Exchange were really not enough for him, the eldest son of the Republic.

The car drove all the way into the industrial base. Director Bai, who was in charge of the reception at Anshan Steel Rolling Plant, told Zhang Chengfei and his party that their Anshan Steel Plant was formerly the Anshan Iron Works and Showa Steel Works built by Tiaobaji.

Later, after liberation, Mao Xiong dismantled all the important and valuable machines inside. Only an empty shell was left, "That's true, but the motherland is full of waste and waiting for development, how difficult it is! So we organized this empty shell and established Anshan Iron and Steel Company."

During the first Five-Year Plan period, our Anshan was positioned as a municipality directly under the central government, and Anshan Iron and Steel received key support from the state. It made great contributions to the country and expanded all the way. Although it was later revoked as a municipality and became a provincial administration, it still made many contributions to the country.

Up to now, our Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is also the largest steel factory in the country, with more than 5 workers in the main factory. It also has many subordinate small factories, and our steel rolling mill is one of them, with a total of more than 2 people.

In addition to us, there are breweries, blast furnace plants, rebar plants, food factories...

Hiss, when Director Bai called the steel rolling mill with 2 people a small factory, Director Zhang Chengfei and Director Xu, Director Wu couldn't help but exchange looks.

The car left the train station, and soon Director Bai told everyone that it had arrived at the territory of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

Director Xu was immediately surprised, "So fast?? Hasn't the car been driven for a long time??"

--Which factory is so close to the train station? ? ?

Director Bai smiled and said, "Director Xu, this is what you don't know. Our Anshan City is built on factories, which is different from your [-] cities... Our entire city is based on steel plants and is built on factories." as a center......"

--It is no exaggeration to say that every fifth household in the city works in a steel plant and its affiliated rolling mills, blast furnace plants, soda fountains, hospitals, etc.

In a word, Anshan people cannot live without Anshan Iron and Steel! ! !

While everyone was surprised, the car continued to move forward. Two hours after Director Bai said he had entered the boundary of Anshan, everyone finally saw the signboard of the steel rolling mill.

Now Zhang Chengfei and others had to admit that the heavy industrial city was indeed very different from the Forty-Nine City or something like that. Whose nice factory has a two-hour drive? ? ? ?

Several people got out of the car and were led by Director Bai to meet the cattle director of the steel rolling mill. Director Niu was a steel rolling mill employee who had switched jobs after fighting in the war. When he heard that Zhang Chengfei was also a professional veteran, he immediately became very affectionate towards him.

When Director Niu shook hands with Zhang Chengfei, he casually asked, "Director Zhang looks very young. How old are you this year???"

Zhang Chengfei smiled and said, "I am 24 this year."

hiss! ! twenty four? ? ? As soon as Zhang Chengfei said these words, a strange light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Director Niu and his team of receptionists.

Most people are still officers when they are 24, so at most they can become level 24 cadres, right? ? But where is this director? Not only is he the deputy director of the GWH of the factory, I heard that he is also a good hand in managing the factory and is a cadre of the fifteenth level. He is also a popular person in the Metallurgical Department of Sijiucheng.

Such people, let alone in Anshan, are probably very rare in the entire Z country.
