Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Looking at Xu Damao who was standing still with rare seriousness, He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao had heard his words to heart. He thought that this time he should be able to change the outcome of Xu Damao being driven out.

Before he had time to think, he saw Director Yang waving his hand for them to come in, so He Yuzhu helped Xu Damao push the door open with the projection equipment.

After entering the house, Director Yang said to Xu Damao: "Come with me to the reception room to set up the projection equipment. Zhuzi, please wait for a while."

He Yuzhu quickly agreed. As soon as Director Yang left, a middle-aged woman with fair skin and good temperament said, "You must be the chef that Xiao Yang brought with you."

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Hello, Madam, I am the chef He Yuzhu, you can call me Xiao He or Zhuzi."

The middle-aged lady saw that although he was young, his words and actions were very appropriate. She silently gave him a ten-point score in her heart, and then said: "Xiao He, come with me, I will take you to the kitchen."

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

Following the middle-aged lady to the kitchen, He Yuzhu looked at the ingredients and said, "Madam, I need sesame paste to make Sichuan cuisine. Do you have any at home?"

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she wondered why sesame paste is used in Sichuan cuisine. Could it be that Xiao Yang is looking for a jack of all trades?

But he still said calmly: "Wait a moment, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, even though he knew where the plot was going, he still felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being questioned.

Without having time to think, He Yuzhu started to prepare the ingredients. He had to make preparations for both scenarios.

If Xu Damao has a brain attack and is kicked out by his boss, I can cook the dishes quickly. If Xu Damao doesn't have an accident, I can prepare the dishes in advance and have time to think about how to make the details more perfect.

The middle-aged woman who came to deliver sesame paste to He Yuzhu saw that He Yuzhu had already entered the working state, and silently added ten points, and said: "Master He, I have brought you the sesame paste you asked for. Is there anything else you need?"

He Yuzhu carefully checked the ingredients and condiments again and said, "Madam, everything is ready."

The middle-aged woman casually said that there was tea in the cabinet and Master He could take it himself, then turned and left.

You know, in that era, the tea in the leader’s kitchen was not affordable for ordinary people.

In my previous life, I was from eastern Shandong, a province with a high rate of civil service exams. The genes engraved in my bones told me that at this moment, I don’t drink tea, I only drink boiled water.

After being reminded by himself, Xu Damao did not do anything stupid. Apart from using his expertise to explain the emotions and ideas expressed in the movie to his leaders, he acted like a quiet mute the rest of the time.

Thinking that the time was almost up, He Yuzhu started to simmer some of the more time-consuming dishes in advance.

After a while, Xu Damao came hurriedly and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, the factory director asked me to come and inform you that the movie is about to end. You should prepare and cook."

He Yuzhu said: "I have already prepared the time-consuming main dishes. I will stir-fry the small dishes as soon as you finish yours."

Xu Damao said: "Then I will go back first. I am afraid that the leader will ask me to explain the movie."

He Yuzhu said: "Go quickly, and be careful."

Xu Damao said, "I understand," and left in a hurry.

After a while, Xu Damao came running over and said, "Zhu Zi's movie is over. The leader and the factory director have gone to the restaurant. When can the food be served?"

He Yuzhu said: "The food will be served soon. Go back and wait for the factory manager's instructions. Someone will serve the food soon."

Looking at the senior leader who was still discussing the film that had just been shown with Director Yang at the dining table, the middle-aged woman said, "Old Li, it's getting late, isn't it time to eat?"

The senior leader, known as Lao Li, looked at the time and said with a smile: "We can't just eat spiritual food, we also have to take into account the feeling of our stomachs."

Director Yang said to the leader with a smile: "Food is the most important thing for people. If you don't eat on time, your stomach will get upset."

The middle-aged woman said to the nanny next to her: "Go to the kitchen and see if Chef Xiao He's dishes are ready. If they are, start serving them."

Director Yang said to Xu Damao who was standing next to him, "You should go too."

Xu Damao followed the nanny to the kitchen, looked at the dishes that He Yuzhu had already prepared, secretly gave him a thumbs up, and then served the dishes with the nanny.

Looking at the fragrant and beautiful dishes served, Leader Li and his wife asked at the same time: "Xiao Yang, is this really made by the chef of your steel mill?"

Director Yang quickly said, "When I first ate Zhuzi's cooking, I found it even more incredible than you, the leader."

Looking at the delicious food in front of him, the leader picked up his chopsticks and said, "Quick, try it while it's hot. How does it taste?"

After taking a bite, the leader and his wife smiled at each other and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic Sichuan cuisine. Chef He's cooking skills are really amazing. This meal is very delicious."

After a while, looking at the Huaiyang dishes suitable for women, the middle-aged lady sighed: "Xiao Yang, I didn't realize that Master He from your factory is such a versatile person."

Director Yang thought that he had underestimated Zhuzi's cooking skills, and said to the middle-aged wife: "Zhuzi's family is a family of chefs, so it's normal that he has dabbled in all kinds of cuisines."

Seeing He Yuzhu serving the last dish himself, the big boss and his wife hurriedly asked He Yuzhu and Xu Damao to take a seat.

During the meal, the leader and his wife heard Director Yang say that He Daqing left He Yuzhu and his young sister and ran to Tianjin.

The big boss and his wife looked at this well-behaved young man and said, "Zhu Zi, from now on, you should treat us as your elders. When you have time, come and spend time with us and cook for us."

He Yuzhu hurriedly climbed up the pole and said, "Okay, uncle and aunt, I'll come with Director Yang to cook for you when I have time."

When Director Yang heard this, he thought, wow, you shouldn't be a cook, you are at least a section chief, you should take care of everything and make sure nothing is wrong.
