Only children in Siheyuan make choices. I want them all.

The big shot was talking to several leaders of other factories. When he saw Zhang Jianjun coming, he immediately stood up with a smile, but the situation suddenly changed.

"Ouch! My waist!" The big shot was about to stand up, but sat down heavily on the chair again.

Everyone present was terrified and started asking questions quickly.

"Big shot, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

The big shot was sweating from the pain and waved his hands with difficulty.

"I'm fine! This is an old problem. I've been to many hospitals and seen both Western and Chinese doctors, but nothing worked. Xiao Zhang happened to come today, so I'll let him take a look."

Zhang Jianjun immediately said, "Don't worry, big shot. I will do my best to help you. Please have two people help you to the bed, and then lie down and expose your back."

Soon, Wang's deputy Zhang Jianjun helped the big shot back to the bedroom, and lay on the bed with his back exposed.

"Where are the silver needles and mugwort? Give them to me." Zhang Jianjun didn't waste any words and stretched out his hand to ask Deputy Wang for the things.

"I'll get it!"

The deputy took out silver needles and a large bundle of mugwort from the drawer and handed them to Zhang Jianjun.

"Xiao Zhang, do you think there is any cure for my old illness? My waist pain is really unbearable."

Low back pain is not a life-threatening disease. Patients with lumbar disc herniation know this very well.

"Don't worry, big shot. I'll be fine."

Zhang Jianjun's confident words infected everyone present, and some people who originally wanted to open their mouths to question him quickly shut up.

Under the gaze of the golden eyes, the location of the lesion on the big man's waist was clearly visible. Zhang Jianjun pulled out the silver needle and stabbed it towards the acupuncture point at the lesion.

"Hey! It doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore. It's working!"

After just one injection, the pain on the big shot's face eased a lot.

Zhang Jianjun did not say anything, but continued to give acupuncture. In just five minutes, thirty-six silver needles were inserted into the big man's back.

After the acupuncture, Zhang Jianjun rolled the moxa into a stick, lit it and started to apply moxibustion on the big man's waist.

What Chinese medicine calls acupuncture is nothing more than this. Acupuncture and moxibustion are separate. First, a silver needle is inserted into the acupuncture point, and then the Chinese herbal medicine is burned and roasted on the acupuncture point.

After about ten minutes of acupuncture, Zhang Jianjun extinguished the moxa and pulled out the silver needles.

"Alright big shot! How do you feel now?"

The big shot tried to move and felt his body was very light, and the pain in his waist was gone.

"Xiao Zhang! You are amazing. Many doctors couldn't cure my back pain, but you cured it with just a few injections."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianjun smiled and shook his head.

"It's too early to say it's cured! This is just a temporary solution. It will take at least ten acupuncture sessions to cure it completely."

The big shot smiled and patted Zhang Jianjun on the shoulder: "Then I'll trouble you in the future, Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Jianjun hurriedly smiled and said, "No trouble! No trouble! As long as I can cure the illness of the important person, I don't mind making a few more trips."

The big shot was very happy to hear this. He told his wife, "Go and see if there is anything missing in the kitchen. I'm afraid the new chef won't be able to find anything."

"Okay!" The big shot's wife nodded and left.

As soon as the wife of the big shot entered the kitchen, she saw Sha Zhu trying to light a cigarette, which made her secretly dissatisfied. I am the hostess of my house, and you didn't even stand up to say hello when you saw me, but you actually dared to light a cigarette in front of me.

"Put out the cigarette! Smoking is not allowed in our house."

When Sha Zhu heard this, although he was unhappy, he could do nothing but throw the cigarette in his mouth into the stove.

"I say! Your family is short of sesame paste, can you get some for me?"

The big shot's wife asked in confusion: "Aren't you cooking Sichuan cuisine? Why do you want sesame paste?"

"I'm responsible for cooking, and you're responsible for eating. Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Sha Zhu was worthy of his name Sha Zhu. He directly embarrassed the wife of the big shot, and she had no choice but to leave the kitchen angrily.

On the other side, Deputy Wang came over to report: "Report to the big man, the film is ready, shall we go to the screening room now?"

The big shot looked at Zhang Jianjun and said, "Xiao Zhang! Do you want to eat first or watch a movie first?"

Zhang Jianjun knew that when he went to the movies, he would definitely encounter Xu Damao saying bad things about Sha Zhu behind his back, and finally be driven away by the big shot, but this was exactly what he wanted.

"Let's watch a movie first! I'm not hungry now."

The big shot readily agreed: "Okay! Let's go watch a movie first."

Soon the group arrived outside the screening room and heard Xu Damao's voice coming from inside.

"Shazhu is so stupid all day long, how can he cook? I didn't know you asked him to come. If I knew, I would have already..."

Before Xu Damao could finish his words, he saw the big shot, several factory managers, and Zhang Jianjun coming to the screening room.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The big shot was so angry that he snorted coldly and walked out of the screening room without even watching the movie.

Back in the reception room, the big shot said to Deputy Wang: "Tell the guy showing the movie to pack up and leave immediately."

Deputy Wang did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Jianjun knew he had the opportunity, and since Sha Zhu was still there, he wanted to trick him away.

When Xu Damao learned that the big shot asked him to get out, he suddenly became excited. This time he finally got the chance and wanted to curry favor with the big shot.

Then he rose rapidly to a high position in the corporate world, but his plan was going well when he was caught by a big shot saying bad things about his co-workers.

"Leader! This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Xu Damao still did not give up and wanted to strive to stay, and then through a series of flattery, make the big shots look at him with admiration.

At this time, Director Yang became anxious. He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for Zhang Jianjun to treat the big shot and improve the relationship between him and the big shot, but all his previous efforts were in vain after Xu Damao did this.

After all, Xu Damao is the projectionist of his own factory. The big shot might be blaming himself for not managing his subordinates well enough and thus doubting his own work ability.

"Get lost! You still think you're right to say bad things about your coworkers behind their backs? If you don't get lost, I'll deduct half a month's salary from you."

Director Yang sternly wanted to kick Xu Damao out. If he was allowed to stay, he might cause some trouble, and he would be the one implicated.

"Director, please listen to my explanation. Shazhu is stupid to begin with. I am not wrong!"

Xu Damao still refused to give up and kept on refusing to leave.

"Okay! I can't control you anymore, right? Then I'll deduct half a month's salary from you and ask you to write a 5,000-word self-criticism. Tomorrow, you will read it out loud in front of all the employees in the factory."

Seeing that Director Yang was serious, Xu Damao did not dare to continue to defend himself and was driven out like a stray dog.

"Hey! This place is so far from the courtyard, more than 20 kilometers away. Are you asking me to walk back? I'm so damn unlucky today. How could I be caught by a big shot when I said something bad?"

Xu Damao's face was full of grievance, tears welled up in his eyes. Walking more than 20 kilometers back must have exhausted him to death.

In the reception room, the big shot felt hungry, so he ordered his men to serve the food.

The subordinate reported: "Big man, the chef hasn't cooked yet! He said that the movie will be on for two hours and he's afraid the food will get cold by the time it's ready."

"It's my fault! I forgot about this. I'm old and my memory is not very good. I just kicked out the person who didn't show the movie." The big shot blamed himself and patted his forehead.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhang Jianjun immediately stood up and recommended himself: "Since the chef hasn't done it yet, let me do it!"

The big shot was already very optimistic about Zhang Jianjun, and what's more, Zhang Jianjun cured the big shot's back pain, which made the big shot like him even more.

As for Sha Zhu, he was originally brought in to make up the numbers. It happened that the big shot's chef took leave, otherwise it would not have been Sha Zhu's turn to be the chef.

But the big shot was still a little curious and asked: "You can cook? I'm really impressed by you. You can cook so much at such a young age."

Zhang Jianjun's face suddenly showed some sadness and his voice became a little low.

"My parents work in the army and are away from home all year round. My grandparents are old, so I have always been the one cooking at home."

"I've been cooking since I was ten years old, and I often read recipes, so I should be able to do it well."

The big shot nodded and asked curiously: "Are your parents still in the army? Why don't you go to the army to find them?"

When Zhang Jianjun heard this, his eyes immediately turned red and tears fell involuntarily.

“My parents sacrificed their lives for the country, and the community sent their belongings to us a few days ago.”

The big shot patted Zhang Jianjun on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "It's okay! Everything is over! Let's go to the kitchen. I will also taste your cooking skills today."

The big shot walked into the kitchen and said to Sha Zhu in person: "Sorry, Master, you don't have to cook this time. You can go home first."

Sha Zhu had never seen a big shot before. When he heard him speak so politely, he thought he was a small character and immediately got angry.

"What? Aren't you kidding me? If you don't let me do it, who will do it? The big shots?"

Zhang Jianjun's mood had calmed down a lot by now, and he forced a smile and walked out.

"The big shot wants to taste my cooking, so let me cook this meal!"

When Sha Zhu saw Zhang Jianjun, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore. He remembered that he had been cheated out of more than a thousand yuan.

"Grandson! What the hell did you say to the big shot? Why did you take away my job?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but what else can you do besides cheating and deceiving? Even dogs won't eat the food you cook."

The big shot was embarrassed at this moment. He didn't expect that such a small steel rolling mill would produce two weirdos, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. He said with a cold face and a cold voice.

"What a coincidence! I am the dog you are talking about."

"As for your claim that Xiao Zhang cheated, do you have any evidence? If not, I can sue you for false accusation."

Sha Zhu hadn't realized yet that the person in front of him was a big shot, and he was still cursing at him recklessly.

"What are you doing? Someone's zipper was not zipped up properly, and you are exposed."

"I'm talking to that little bastard Zhang Jianjun, and now it's your turn to interrupt? Who do you think you are? Are you a big shot?"

Director Yang had just driven Xu Damao away and was stunned when he saw this scene.

"He Yuzhu! How can you talk to such an important person like that? Get out of here right now."

Only then did Sha Zhu react and he didn't even notice that the green pepper in his hand had fallen to the ground.

"I told you to get out! What are you still doing here?" Director Yang was furious and pushed Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu immediately apologized to the boss: "I'm sorry, boss, that's not what I meant. I just have a bad mouth. Don't take it seriously."

The big shot pointed outside the door and shouted, "Go! Leave my house. Deputy Wang, go get the guards."

"I'm leaving! Is it not okay for me to leave?" Sha Zhu was terrified and immediately walked towards the door.

After watching Sha Zhu leave, Zhang Jianjun didn't waste any time and started cooking.

Before he traveled through time, Zhang Jianjun was already a top-notch chef who specialized in Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. Cooking a few dishes was easy for him.

He planned to cook several of his best dishes today, the first of which was the braised pork that the great leader liked.

Cut the pork belly into pieces with even fat and lean meat, stir-fry sugar color, and add seasonings. Everything is done in an orderly manner and there is nothing wrong with it.

Finally, transfer the braised pork into a casserole and simmer slowly. Wash the pot, heat oil, put in the cut fish, and fry until both sides are golden brown.

Add onion, ginger, garlic and dried chilies to the pan and stir-fry, then pour in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper to season, and finally put the fried fish into the pot and stew.

After stewing the two most time-consuming dishes in advance, Zhang Jianjun started cooking some stir-fried dishes.

In less than half an hour, six stir-fried dishes were ready, namely stir-fried pork, twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, mapo tofu, nine-turn large intestine, and Dongpo pork elbow.

At this time, the fish and braised pork are also stewed. First take out the fish, then dry the soup and pour it on the fish.

Remove the residue from the braised pork, place the cooked Shanghai greens on the lace, and then serve the braised pork on a plate. The Shanghai greens absorb the broth from the braised pork and become extremely delicious.

Finally, Zhang Jianjun made a West Lake beef soup. There were eight dishes and one soup, including fish, meat, and vegetables. These eight dishes were like works of art, with great color, aroma and taste.

"Great! Great! I'm curious now, is there anything in this world that you can't do?" The big shot couldn't help but praise him again and again.

The wife of the big shot couldn't help but ask: "These dishes look good, but I don't know if they taste good?"

The big shot smiled and explained: "From what I can tell from Xiao Zhang's cooking skills, his dishes are absolutely delicious! They are as good as those in the big restaurants in Beijing."

As the saying goes, experts see the details while laymen see the excitement. The big shot is also a senior gourmet.

“Thank you for the compliment, leader! I still need to learn a lot,” Zhang Jianjun said modestly.

The big shot’s wife tasted the dish and couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up.

"Yes, it is delicious, better than what our chef makes. How about you come to our house to cook in the future?"

[The system detects that the host is facing a choice. Option 1 is to agree to cook at the leader's house, and the skill of mind reading is rewarded.]

[Choice 50: Stay at the Red Star Steel Mill, and you will be rewarded with a 30-point increase in personal charm. The host's current personal charm is 20, which is points for an average person.]

This made Zhang Jianjun very embarrassed! He actually wanted to read minds, but he didn't want to cook for others. It would be so comfortable to be an idler in the steel mill!

So he could only grit his teeth and stop reading minds.
