Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Zhang Yuan went with the others, but after searching for a while, he found nothing unusual. In the end, the workers had no choice but to give up and return to the workshop to continue working. Zhang Yuan originally planned to check the situation in the workshop, and he really wanted to know what Tom had done.

"What's going on?" After entering the workshop, Zhang Yuan saw a group of senior engineers gathered around a machine, talking about it.

"Chief Zhang, you're here too!" Liu Feng, who was listening to the discussion of the factory technicians with great interest, suddenly looked up and saw Zhang Yuan standing not far away. He hurriedly pushed away the workers around him and walked towards Zhang Yuan.

“Yes, I heard something happened in the workshop and I’m a little worried about whether it will affect production,” Zhang Yuan explained.

"Haha, it's okay, it's just a false alarm, just a false alarm." Liu Feng said with a hearty laugh.

“What?” Zhang Yuan wondered if he had heard it wrong or if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Look! For some reason, the efficiency of that machine has increased by 20%! You know, these antiques are all precious treasures left over from the war! At the beginning, we spent a lot of money to invite experienced big brothers to come over for guidance and repair, but they still often broke down and had problems. But who would have thought that it was repaired by a cat today! I have lived for so long, and I have never seen such a bizarre thing." Liu Feng said, while secretly blaming the worker who first discovered the abnormality: it was all his fault that he scared away Tom the cat who was concentrating on repairing the machine! Oh, what a pity! When Liu Feng thought of this, he felt so uncomfortable and stamped his feet in regret.

Then, Liu Feng took Zhang Yuan to visit the workshop. As soon as they entered the workshop, they saw several lifelike metal statues of Tom Cat, which made Zhang Yuan feel a little embarrassed - he had never expected Tom to be so narcissistic. However, apart from that, there didn't seem to be much worth seeing in the workshop. So the two of them left here quickly.

"By the way, I have thought deeply about your job arrangement for a long time! At present, all departments of our machine repair factory are saturated with staff! However, considering that you were transferred from the main factory and have relevant experience before, I want you to serve as the canteen director temporarily. Our original canteen director is going to retire next month, and we haven't found a suitable successor yet. Do you think you can help take care of him first? Of course, if you have other ideas or opinions, you can communicate with me at any time!" Liu Feng said while secretly observing Zhang Yuan's expression. After all, it was really hard to let a section-level cadre serve as the director of an unknown canteen.

However, Zhang Yuan did not show any dissatisfaction or displeasure. On the contrary, he felt that this was a good opportunity to return to his old job, not to mention that the system had reminded him to accept this decision. So, he patted his chest without hesitation and said, "No problem! I am a brick of the party, and I will move wherever I am needed! Since the factory has made such an arrangement, I will definitely take over unconditionally, and I promise to do my best to do a good job in the canteen!"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's straightforward agreement, Liu Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, but at the same time he was relieved. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, that's settled! I believe that with your ability and sense of responsibility, you will be able to do this job! If you encounter any difficulties or problems, feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to provide support and help."

Afterwards, Zhang Yuan took the lives of the people in the factory to the canteen to hand over the work to the director who was about to retire. In addition, Zhang Yuan finally met Nan Yi, who was tall and thin, with dull eyes. At first glance, he looked like he looked down on people, with his eyes on his forehead.

[Ding! Trigger the mission - Conquer Nan Yi with your cooking skills, reward 1000 cooking experience points. ]

Zhang Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stared at Nan Yi with a bright smile, and said softly: "Master Nan, it seems that you have some misunderstandings or opinions about me?"

Nan Yi did not back down, and responded with a firm look: "That's not my intention. I just think that as the canteen director, you need to have real strength and talent, otherwise it will be difficult for all of us to be truly convinced."

At this time, there was a burst of echoing voices from the crowd:

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Some people who like to join in the fun did not mind the trouble and joined in. They were somewhat resistant to Zhang Yuan's sudden taking over of this position.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan calmly suggested, "How about this, let's have a cooking competition to see whose dish is more delicious."

"That's exactly what I want!" Nan Yi immediately accepted Zhang Yuan's challenge and asked, "But how should we compete? And who will be the referee?"

After a brief thought, Zhang Yuan replied, "We can each make three identical dishes, and then let everyone present act as referees, scoring the winner based on their taste and evaluation." His tone was confident and firm, as if he had already won.

"Okay, let's do it right away!" Nan Yi answered without hesitation.

Next, Zhang Yuan and Nan Yi huddled together and discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally decided on three dishes: The first dish was spicy and sour shredded potatoes. To cook this delicious dish, not only did one need to accurately control the heat, but also had extremely high requirements on the chef's knife skills.

Zhang Yuan and Nan Yi looked at each other and almost simultaneously began to cut the potato shreds. The knives in their hands seemed to be endowed with life, dancing lightly on the chopping board, making crisp and pleasant sounds. In the blink of an eye, evenly thick and crystal clear potato shreds appeared in front of everyone. Everyone present was shocked by their superb cooking skills, and they all widened their eyes, praising them and saying that it was a feast for the eyes.

The second dish is stir-fried bean sprouts. The key to this dish is the stir-frying technique. You have to make sure the bean sprouts are fully cooked, but not too soft and mushy to lose their original crisp taste. More importantly, the bean sprouts must fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning. The last dish to appear is Mapo Tofu, which pursues color, fragrance and taste.

When all three dishes were placed on the table, everyone couldn't wait to gather around, enjoying the tempting aroma in the air, drooling.

Nan Yi was full of confidence, but when he saw Zhang Yuan's dishes, he was already convinced. He had heard of Zhang Yuan's name before.
