Chapter 187 He Daqing Talks About Cooking

The remaining three people just looked at Director Sun and no one said anything. After all, the difference between Director Sun's previous and current behavior was too big and none of them understood what was going on.

Director Sun continued, "I also worked in the Ministry of Industry before, and I have heard some of your stories. I also know why and how this factory was established, and why Xiao He came here. That's why I want to apologize to Comrade Shang Peng."

Shang Peng understood immediately. It turned out that this person was a big boss in the past, otherwise he wouldn't know so much. He quickly said, "Hey, Director Sun, you should call me Xiaopeng. I just happened to meet him. Some things are not worth mentioning."

Director Sun said seriously, "You can't say that. Your contribution is your contribution. If it weren't for your proposal, this factory wouldn't have been built, and our foreign exchange wouldn't have increased. To be honest, the bean paste factory has earned 100,000 foreign exchange since its establishment, and orders are still increasing. Now the production can't keep up."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide couldn't help but ask curiously: "Excuse me, how long has your factory been in operation?"

This time Director Sun did not speak. He looked at He Daqing, who smiled and said, "Four days, including one day of teaching."

"How much?" Li Huaide almost jumped up.

"Four days. Mainly because the workers are not yet skilled these days. The output will increase slowly, but the raw materials are a little scarce and the supply is insufficient." He Daqing smiled embarrassedly.

"Fuck, Lao He, take a look at what you are saying. One hundred thousand foreign exchange in four days, and you are still saying this and that. Do you want to get beaten? No one should talk like that." Li Huaide said angrily.

Shang Peng's focus was not here, he asked He Daqing: "Uncle, what raw materials do you lack?"

He Daqing said, "Soybeans, with soybeans we have everything. Chili peppers can be dried, but soybeans are not enough. You also know that the harvest has been bad since last year. Soybeans can save lives, so these yields must be squeezed out of teeth. However, as long as this transaction is successful and the response over there is good, it can be proved that the processed products are more valuable than the raw materials. Then we will not use soybeans as collateral, but use them to produce finished products, and then use the money from the finished products to repay the debt, so that we can still have a surplus."

Director Sun also nodded and said, "Yes, the country has been in a very difficult situation in the past two years. We are short of everything! Alas!"

Shang Peng suddenly said, "Half a month, I can get 50 tons of soybeans in half a month, and then you will have to rely on yourselves!"

Director Sun and He Daqing said in unison: "Really?"

Shang Peng nodded solemnly and said, "Really? But you have to find someone to transport it back. I don't care how much you get. Besides, they don't want money. They want antiques or gold of equivalent value. If US dollars are not acceptable, British pounds will also do."

The faces of the two men changed as Shang Peng spoke. When they heard that it was free, their faces turned pale. Then, when they heard that it was antiques or gold, their faces became a little better. Finally, when they heard US dollars or British pounds, they were immediately happy. This is what they earn. If they use this to purchase materials and earn more foreign exchange, their superiors will definitely agree.

Director Sun then asked: "What's the price?"

Shang Peng answered directly: "Half of the international price!"

"Ah! So cheap?" asked Director Sun.

Shang Peng smiled and replied, "You are looking at the international price incorrectly. I tell you, the international price has now become a means for those capitalists to speculate. The actual price is not that high at all. If you purchase directly at the place of origin, you will pay less than half the price. Besides, I am looking for some foreign patriotic overseas Chinese. They are willing to help us. We just need to prevent them from losing money. This is their promise to Rabbit and their efforts for Rabbit."

The two were also in awe when they heard this. Although these people living outside are outside, they still have a patriotic heart.

Director Sun said to Shang Peng, "Xiao Peng, we want this batch of soybeans. We will go back and apply for it later..."

Shang Peng waved his hand and said, "You can't apply for this. Just find someone to talk to you directly. This matter can't be made public. They smuggled it in. The blockade against us is still very serious. We can only transport it secretly. If you apply, we will know everything. Do you still think this batch of goods can be transported in?"

Director Sun thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll risk my reputation to get this batch of soybeans back to the factory even if I die!"

Shang Peng smiled and said, "That's not the case. I also have some stuff shipped back. The soybeans are just a cover. I can only say that you guys just happened to come here at the right time.

But, uncle, can we order food now? Uncle Li dragged me here this morning, and I only ate two buns on the way. I am starving!"

He Daqing reacted quickly and said, "Okay! Okay! Order! Order!" Then he called the waiter to order food. After ordering food, he whispered a few words to the waiter. The waiter looked at He Daqing, nodded, and went downstairs.

After a while, a man came out from the restaurant kitchen and shouted, "Let me see who told me to do it myself, and said I had to do it. Let me see who it was?" The waiter pointed at He Daqing's table. The man couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and pointed at He Daqing and said, "He Daqing, you are so good. I was wondering who it was. Why did you come to my table today?"

He Daqing also stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm here to do something. I miss the food you cook. Come and satisfy your craving!"

Senior Brother He Daqing was not polite either. He bowed and said to He Daqing's table: "Please wait a moment. I will come back to accompany you after I finish. Daqing, you keep on serving." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen without waiting for He Daqing to reply.

He Daqing smiled and turned to the others and said, "That guy just now is my senior brother. He is now the Shandong cuisine chef here."

Shang Peng asked curiously: "Uncle, I still don't know what cuisine you are proficient in?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "Me? My family's inherited Tan cuisine is what my father learned when he was an apprentice in the Tan family. Later, I learned Shandong cuisine from a Shandong cuisine master chef. When I started working, I met a Sichuan cuisine master chef and exchanged some ideas about Sichuan cuisine. He was Zhuzi's master. I also dabbled in other cuisines."

Shang Peng looked at He Daqing and said, "Uncle, I realized that it was a mistake for you to come out of the kitchen. At your level, you might even be able to attend the state banquet!"

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "No, I'm actually not as talented as Zhuzi. Even though I seem to be proficient in several cuisines, I'm not as good as him who is proficient in one cuisine. Do you know what's going on?"
