Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

He Yuzhu prepared eight authentic Sichuan dishes for the leader, including Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, Twice-cooked Pork, Boiled Fish, Husband and Wife Fei Slices, Spicy Chicken, and Dongpo Pork Knuckle...

Afterwards, Ma Hua and Zhang Tieshan were asked to cook a vegetable from each place.

Ma Hua stir-fried some shredded cabbage, and Zhang Tieshan cooked a white radish soup.

Soon, it was time for lunch. The leader looked at the table full of mouth-watering Sichuan cuisine and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He tasted a bite of the dish, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Not bad, it tastes very authentic..."

The leader continued to taste every dish with great interest and praised He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

"The Kung Pao Chicken has tender chicken and crispy peanuts, and the taste is just right. The Mapo Tofu is spicy and fresh, very satisfying.

The fish-flavored pork shreds are sweet and sour, very appetizing. The twice-cooked pork is fatty but not greasy, which is a must-try. The boiled fish is tender and spicy, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.

The Fuqi Feipian is beautiful in color, tender and delicious. The spicy chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very spicy.

The Dongpo pork elbow is soft, glutinous and mellow, with an excellent taste. The hand-shredded cabbage is refreshing and delicious, and the white radish soup is light and delicious, which is a very good match.

Not bad, really good..."

After the big leader praised repeatedly, he asked Director Yang beside him, "Director Yang, may I ask who cooked the dish? Can you please come and see it..."

"Boss, the person who cooked this dish is He Yuzhu, the former chef of Fengze Garden and the later owner of Shandong Cuisine Restaurant..."

Yang answered, and then said to the secretary accompanying him, "Secretary Li, please go and invite our culinary master He Yuzhu over."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li stood up and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

"Master He, the dishes you cooked are very much to the boss's liking. The boss wants to see you now..."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised, but still followed Secretary Li to the restaurant.

He lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Hello, leader. I am He Yuzhu. I am so happy to hear that the leader is satisfied with the food I cook."

The big boss looked at He Yuzhu with a smile and said kindly, "He Yuzhu, are you the He Yuzhu who used to be a cook at Fengze Garden?"

"Yes, leader, how did you know..."

"He Yuzhu, it seems that you are a very forgetful kid. Do you still remember Officer Zhang from the Military Control Commission?"

"Oh! Secretary Zhang, I remember now. There were eight of you at the beginning, and you were one of them. But you are already 8 years old..."

"Yes, in 51, I had just arrived at the Jingzhou Military Control Commission to take up my post. Officer Zhang and others knew that I was from Sichuan, so they took me to Fengze Garden. It was you who cooked that day. No wonder you don't remember. I only met you once, and then I was transferred to work in another place. I was only transferred back recently..."

The leader said so much in one breath, and He Yuzhu finally understood. No wonder he didn't come to Fengze Garden later, it turned out that he was transferred.

"Leader, my memory is not very good. It is my fault for forgetting you. Today, I would like to offer you a toast!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he picked up the empty glass on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, raised it up, and toasted to the big leader. The big leader also stood up, clinked his glass with his, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, He Yuzhu, I heard that you later became the owner of a Shandong cuisine restaurant. What's the story?" The leader put down his wine glass and said.

When Director Yang saw that the senior leader not only praised He Yuzhu's cooking but also knew He Yuzhu, he became excited.

I thought to myself, it turns out that He Yuzhu is a hidden talent! Fortunately, I invited him to the steel mill, otherwise there would be no praise from the big leader today.

Since the big boss likes it, why don't I follow his lead and praise He Yuzhu?

"Leader, after He Yuzhu left Fengze Garden, he bought a Shandong cuisine restaurant and made the business very successful. Later, he became the first boss in our city to take the lead in public-private partnership, and he is also a model for our Jingzhou City?"

After listening to Director Yang's words, the leader nodded slightly, with appreciation in his eyes.

"He Yuzhu, you have done a great job. Public-private partnership is the general trend. You have responded positively and taken the lead, which deserves praise."

He Yuzhu said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, I just think this is a good thing for everyone, so we should actively do it."

The big boss looked at He Yuzhu thoughtfully and said, "Your awareness is rare.

In this era, we need more people like you who are innovative, proactive and willing to contribute to the country's construction and development."

At this time, Director Yang also struck while the iron was hot and said: "The leader is right. He Yuzhu is also diligent in our steel rolling mill, and the meals he cooks are very popular among the employees. With him, the logistics support work of our factory is particularly solid."

The big boss smiled and nodded, and said to He Yuzhu: "I hope you will continue to maintain this enthusiasm and professionalism, and bring more delicious food and surprises to everyone."

He Yuzhu solemnly promised: "Don't worry, leader, I will live up to your expectations and work hard to do my job well."

After lunch, the leader was even more impressed with He Yuzhu.

He said to Director Yang: "Talents like this should be valued and cultivated. The inheritance of traditional skills requires people like He Yuzhu to play a leading role."

Director Yang nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, leader. We will definitely provide a better platform for He Yuzhu so that his cooking skills can be more widely spread."

He Yuzhu was deeply moved. He didn't expect that his cooking skills would be highly recognized by his leader.

After returning to the kitchen, he said to Ma Hua, Zhang Tieshan and He Hua: "Today's experience has made me understand more clearly that as long as we make every dish carefully, we will definitely get everyone's recognition. We must work harder in the future and live up to the expectations of our leaders and everyone."

Ma Hua, Zhang Tieshan and He Hua were also greatly encouraged and expressed their willingness to learn the craft from their master.

In the following days, He Yuzhu's position in the steel rolling mill became more stable.

Not only did he continue to provide delicious meals for the factory workers, he was also often invited to demonstrate his cooking skills on various important occasions.

He not only became a culinary master in the eyes of the employees, but also a role model for everyone to learn from.

Besides, He Yuzhu's recognition by the top leader aroused jealousy and speculation among many people, including the three uncles in the courtyard and Xu Damao.

Some people say that the big leader is his relative;

Some people also said that He Yuzhu was just using his cooking skills to curry favor with the boss in order to gain fame;

Some even said that He Yuzhu bribed Director Yang and others with money...;

He Yuzhu ignored him and said, "I have behaved properly and sat upright, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Qin Huairu gave birth to Xiaodang in the courtyard, Liu Guangqi was admitted to a key technical secondary school, and Xu Damao also started dating...
