Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Today is Zhang Yuan's first day working in the canteen of the steel mill. He remembers that when Zhang Yuan handed over the repair stall to Director Wang yesterday, without waiting for Zhang Yuan to speak, Director Wang encouraged Zhang Yuan to work hard. Because compared to staying in a small repair stall, where he had to depend on the weather for his food every day, the iron rice bowl in the steel mill is very valuable, and working in the canteen is so enviable. If it were in troubled times, a cook would not starve to death.

After Zhang Yuan entered the kitchen, except for Liu Lan, Fatty and Ma Hua, who were people he had known before, when they saw Zhang Yuan coming in, they hurried over to greet him. However, the other two chefs and other kitchen helpers did not even look at Zhang Yuan.

Master Xu in particular thought that after Sha Zhu was driven away, he would become the squad leader and take care of the special cooking class at the same time. However, who knew that Cheng Yaojin suddenly showed up and shattered Master Xu's dream. His apprentices also guessed what they were thinking, so today they united to give the new squad leader a warning.

Another chef, Master Li, has the same idea. Although he specializes in plain cooking, he has solid cooking skills and is also thinking of competing with Master Xu for the position of head chef.

"Master Zhang, please have some water." The fat man didn't notice the expressions of the crowd, and hurriedly took Zhang Yuan to the place where Sha Zhu usually rested, and diligently handed Zhang Yuan a glass of boiled water.

Under normal circumstances, the active-minded fat man would definitely not go against others, but after tasting the dishes made by Zhang Yuan, he felt that Zhang Yuan's cooking skills were good, and he had the support of Deputy Director Li and Director Ma behind him, so he was the first to jump out, hoping to gain Zhang Yuan's favor and be able to teach him his skills selflessly like yesterday.

Ma Hua's thoughts are much more complicated. Zhang Yuan's arrival means that Sha Zhu can't come back. Logically, he should reject or alienate Zhang Yuan like his two masters Xu and Li. However, Zhang Yuan has taught him martial arts, which makes him very conflicted. In the end, he chooses to not help either side as usual.

Zhang Yuan also received a system task, requiring him to win the hearts of everyone in the kitchen and reward him with a skill experience book. At this time, Zhang Yuan called everyone.

"Everyone, stop for a moment. This is my first time in the kitchen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Yuan, and I'm the new chef. I'll be working with you all in the future. If you have any difficulties at work, you can tell me. Of course, if you think my skills are good enough and you're willing to learn, you can also come to me."

Zhang Yuan's words made some people feel good about him. However, in front of Chefs Xu and Li, they felt that Zhang Yuan was showing off and they felt a little uncomfortable with him.

Master Xu said: "That's perfect. I've been feeling a little unwell lately and would like to ask for a leave. I wonder if Team Leader Zhang can agree to it."

"Yes, my old illness has come back. My hands are out of control and I also want to take a leave." Master Li also echoed.

Seeing that the two of them were making things difficult for Zhang Yuan, Liu Lan wanted to remind them, but Zhang Yuan agreed to their request first.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do. I agree to your request for leave, but remember to bring a certificate from the infirmary."

"Okay, Master Zhang is really considerate of his subordinates. He is indeed a young and promising man." After Master Xu finished speaking, he took off his work clothes, turned around and left.

Master Li then said goodbye, and his two apprentices followed suit. All of a sudden, half of the kitchen, which had more than a dozen people there, left.

Seeing that the kitchen suddenly became much emptier, Liu Lan left anxiously and went to find Director Ma.

"Okay, since no one wants to take a leave, let's start working." Zhang Yuan saw that the remaining people either had no backstage connections or were just honest apprentices, so he organized them to start working.

Although Zhang Yuan's cooking skills are only level 4, he can still handle these small situations. In addition, he discovered yesterday that as long as he teaches others skills, he can also gain experience. These people in front of him are his experience babies.

Under Zhang Yuan's guidance, or more precisely, in order not to miss out on any inexperienced worker, every kitchen worker receives his instruction. If they encounter something that cannot be corrected, Zhang Yuan will personally teach them step by step.

[Cooking Experience +2]

[Cooking Experience +5]

[Cooking Experience +6]

[Cooking Experience +9]

.....

It was not until the system prompted [Cooking Experience +11] that he taught everyone present. Now, listening to the wonderful prompts from the system, Zhang Yuan's cooking skills improved rapidly.

The next step was his performance. He started frying a large pot of food. If it were in the past, he would not have the strength to lift such a large pot, and he would have to stir the food continuously.

"Today I'm going to stir-fry some spicy and sour cabbage. Anyone who wants to learn can come and watch." Zhang Yuan said as he kept fiddling with the spatula in his hand.

The fat man was the first to come over, followed by two or three apprentices. When the others saw that Zhang Yuan did not look unhappy, they came forward with confidence. If it were Sha Zhu, they would have used a big spoon to tell them to get out.

"Remember to heat oil in the pan first. When the oil is hot, put chopped green onion and minced ginger into the pan, then add a few dried chilies and stir-fry together. After the aroma comes out, pour in the cabbage stalks and stir-fry to release the moisture in the cabbage stalks. This way, the cabbage stalks will be crisper and more refreshing. When they are 8% cooked, we can pour the cabbage leaves into the pan and stir-fry for a few times, add salt and a little sugar to enhance the flavor, and finally turn on high heat and stir-fry quickly until the cabbage is soft, then pour in the aged vinegar, stir-fry evenly and serve."

As Zhang Yuan was teaching, the fat man and others below were taking notes. Some apprentices were afraid they could not remember, so they took out paper and wrote down the ingredients. Even Ma Hua pricked up his ears to listen. After the dishes were taken out of the pot, Zhang Yuan asked them to have a taste.

"How is it?" Zhang Yuan asked them.

“Yes, it’s delicious!”

After everyone had tasted it, Zhang Yuan prepared to fry the second dish, Mapo Tofu, and he did it while talking, while Fatty and Ma Hua were recording.

At this time, Director Ma and Liu Lan also came in. They saw everyone surrounding Zhang Yuan, listening and watching him cook with such a serious attitude that they didn't even notice Director Ma walking behind them.

"Cough cough!" Director Ma coughed softly a few times.

"Director Ma, you are here."

"Hello, Director Ma."

"Okay, everyone, disperse and continue working. You will have another chance to learn in the future. Don't worry that I will run away."

"Haha."

When Zhang Yuan saw Director Ma coming, he called everyone back to their posts and even made a joke with them, making them laugh.

"Master Zhang, I just heard Liu Lan say that Masters Xu and Li were giving you a hard time. Is that true?"

"Hey, it's no big deal. Director Ma doesn't have to worry about it."

Seeing that Zhang Yuan had no intention of blaming him, Director Ma felt relieved. After all, Zhang Yuan was the only one who could help now. If Zhang Yuan had said bad things about the two masters just now, Director Ma would have criticized them both immediately. After all, having a master with a good attitude is better than a master who embarrasses him and acts like a grandson all day long.
