Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

"You are so young, don't you have good hearing? I said, get out of my way, I need to cook, do you understand?"

"I'll cook lunch today."

While Wang Qiang was speaking, he had already started preparing his hands, especially for Sha Zhu, who seemed like he didn't understand. In fact, Wang Qiang was very annoyed.

He knew that Sha Zhu was unhappy, and he also knew that Sha Zhu was reluctant to give up this position to him, but so what?

Even if Shazhu's ancestors have been working as workers and cooks here for generations, so what?

They are just workers, they are powerless and all of them will be laid off if the factory director says so.

This is still the case with Shazhu now.

"No way! I've been working here for such a long time, how can you let me go without telling me in advance? Is your information reliable?"

"I have to go find the factory manager and ask him about this."

Sha Zhu was very unconvinced and impatient. He always felt that Wang Qiang was lying to him, so he felt upset and angry at the same time.

"How could I possibly lie to you about something like this? If you don't leave, I'm going to call security."

"When the factory director comes, it won't be that simple."

After Wang Qiang glanced at Sha Zhu, he immediately looked outside, because at this moment the factory manager was also following behind him. The factory manager mainly wanted to see what Wang Qiang's business ability was like. If Sha Zhu didn't give in at this moment, he would have to deal with Sha Zhu later.

When the factory director shows up, it might not be as easy for Sha Zhu to escape as it is now, because the factory director's overall impression of Sha Zhu is not very good.

If he were caught right now, Shazhu would be fired immediately.

Sha Zhu also followed Wang Qiang's gaze and saw the factory director. As expected, Sha Zhu began to feel scared.

Whoever the factory director tells to leave must leave immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey the factory director's words is just a fool who can't understand why Wang Qiang is so powerful.

No matter what he did, he could probably do it easily, but he actually competed with him for the position of chef.

What's so good about being a chef? I only get a salary of a dozen yuan a month.

"Go chop the potatoes first, then cut the cabbage, and then I'll come in a while."

"But I have to remind you that when you cut potatoes and cabbage, forget all your previous techniques and follow my instructions. First, cut the potatoes horizontally, then vertically, and then follow the grain. Do you see?"

After Wang Qiang put on the apron, he began to tell Sha Zhu what to do.

Before, Sha Zhu did know how to cut potatoes and cabbage, but his cutting was not very good and Wang Qiang couldn’t stand it at all.

So now we have to follow our own rules. If we don’t follow our own rules, Wang Qiang can only ask Sha Zhu to get out.

"I think I did a pretty good job of cutting it before. Why did you deny me right away? Are you trying to cause trouble for me? Wang Qiang, we all live in the same compound. Can you not be so excessive in some things?"

Sha Zhu had no idea what he had done wrong that made Wang Qiang dislike him like this.

Everyone was eating like this there, and no one said anything bad about it. But when it came to Wang Qiang, he directly denied some of the things he had done in the past.

And it also brings in some new ideas. Isn't it the same no matter how you cut it?

Why is it different?

"Silly Zhu, you have been a chef for such a long time, but you don't know that you should save costs first? Do you know that you are a worker in the factory now? Not only do you have to cook, but everything you do should be based on the interests of the factory. If you can't even do this, then... how can you be qualified to be a chef here?"

In response to Sha Zhu's question, Wang Qiang was not polite and directly told him why he did this.

At the same time, he criticized Sha Zhu, accusing him of doing everything wrong before. Is it enough for a chef to just know how to cook?

If that were the case, then everyone would be able to cook, even the street sweeper could come to the canteen to cook.

The key to cooking in the cafeteria is not only to make it delicious, but also to save costs!

"I'm sorry, it turns out that what I did before was all wrong. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed it at all."

After listening to Wang Qiang's lessons, Sha Zhu was convinced. He had never been so aware before. Sha Zhu now felt that he was completely wrong.

How could you think of this matter so superficially?

If he had realized this problem earlier, perhaps the factory manager would not have specially found someone to replace him. Sha Zhu did not dare to say so much in front of Wang Qiang.

Instead, he started cutting vegetables and preparing side dishes according to Wang Qiang's request and instructions, and assisted Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang first boiled some lard, then put the lard into a jar and started cooking, just to let the aroma of the dishes come out.

Wang Qiang did everything with ease. Wang Qiang didn't start cooking until noon. Sha Zhu was puzzled when he saw Wang Qiang cooking so late.

It's not a good idea to cook at this time! Because the workers will be here soon, and if the food is not ready in advance, the workers will be hungry.

But when he came in front of Wang Qiang, Sha Zhu didn't dare to say anything no matter how much he had to say, for fear that Wang Qiang would target him again.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to ask?"

"Although I want to be the head chef, there are some things I need to teach you. Otherwise, are you going to tie me up in this kitchen in the future?"

Seeing Sha Zhu's hesitant look, Wang Qiang spoke first and glanced at Sha Zhu and said.

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that it's a little too late for you to cook."

Moreover, a little delay would delay the workers' meals. Sha Zhu finally asked the doubts in his heart. Sha Zhu couldn't hold back such things at all. If he kept it in his heart, Sha Zhu felt that he would suffocate to death.

It would be better to ask openly why Wang Qiang did this. Wang Qiang just smiled slightly.

"You see, what we stir-fry are potatoes and cabbages, which are easy to stir-fry.

"There's no need to fry it so early in advance. If you fry it and leave it there, the taste won't be good."

“It’s better to fry it now so that everyone can eat it.”

"Just heat up the steamed buns a few minutes in advance."
