Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Let's go inside and talk." Chen Jun enthusiastically lifted the curtain.

Yan Bugui glanced into the room. Although he wanted to follow in, he still had to have some shamelessness.

So he waved his hand at Chen Jun and said, "You guys chat, I have something to do at home."

"Okay, let's go fishing together one day when we have a day off."

When Yan Bugui heard about fishing, he was extremely happy.

Yesterday’s old hen hasn’t been stewed yet, and Chen Jun is going to take him fishing again.

When Yan Bugui thought of his last fishing success, he was so excited that he wanted to howl a few times.

So cool!

It’s so much fun to fish with the bait given by Chen Jun.

After fishing for so many years, Yan Bugui has also experienced the joy of catching fish.

Thinking back to that day when he returned home and the admiring looks of his three aunts and the children at home, Yan Bugui felt his back straightened.

When Section Chief Wang entered the room, his mother Wang Xia also stood up and greeted him: "Hello, Director Wang."

"Hey, Comrade Wang Xia, you guys continue eating. I want to talk to Comrade Chen Jun about something."

If it were in the past, Director Wang would not have remembered who Wang Xia was, but now, for Chen Jun's sake, he had to be polite to Wang Xia.

It’s not because Chen Jun’s cooking is delicious that Director Wang is so polite.

But it was because Lou Bancheng called him last night that Director Wang became like this.

Wang Xia was also very surprised.

Director Wang is the director of the personnel department at the steel rolling mill. It is no exaggeration to say that he holds great power.

But this person is so easy to talk to.

Obviously, it wasn't for her sake.

Director Wang exchanged a few simple pleasantries and then got straight to the point: "Director Lou called me last night and asked me to come see you this morning."

"Hey, Chen Jun, you must come to help this time. The reception tomorrow night is not ordinary. The guests invited by Director Lou are from Guangdong Province. Let alone our steel mill, even in this city, we can't find a few suitable ones."

“Director Lou said that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to cook Cantonese cuisine, you can just make the Huaiyang cuisine from yesterday!

Hearing this, Chen Jun understood what was going on.

It’s just that Lou Bancheng could have just said this yesterday. There’s no need to hide it.

"No problem. I'll go to the steel mill tomorrow afternoon after I finish my work. I'll buy some food..."

Director Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the things. You can just come to the factory tomorrow afternoon."

"Well, OK, then I will definitely be in the cafeteria at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you for your hard work. This time the customer is quite special and may have a rather picky taste. I feel relieved to have you take care of it."

After He Daqing ran away, the steel rolling mill currently has no master craftsman who can take on the responsibility, which gives Director Wang a headache.

After all, when cooking in the cafeteria, it is acceptable as long as the cooking skills are not too bad, but once there is an important reception, the importance of a good chef becomes apparent.

Whether it is Lou Bancheng's side or the factory director's side, many cooperations and orders are negotiated over the wine table. When the guests are happy eating and drinking, it is natural for them to get closer.

After thinking about it, Director Wang couldn't help but said, "Chen Jun, why don't you come to the steel mill and take up your post now? I'll go find Director Lou and ask him to arrange a canteen deputy director position for you. Do you think that's okay?"

"After all, a group of special experts will come to the factory in a while. Director Lou spent a lot of effort to invite these people, and they usually only stay in a factory for four or five days. If you are in the factory, you may be able to keep them for a longer time. Even one more day will be a profit for us."

Deputy Director of the Canteen?

Chen Jun was very surprised to hear that Director Wang was willing to promise him a position.

This deputy director is considered a cadre in the factory. If Liu Haizhong gets this opportunity, he will definitely be overjoyed.

Because it is an additional position, the salary will be higher, and it sounds better when spoken out.

cadre!

Just thinking about it makes you feel proud.

Moreover, with the normal development of the steel rolling mill, it will be upgraded to a department-level factory in the future.

By that time, even a small deputy director of the cafeteria would have some power in his hands.

It must be said that this is still very tempting for ordinary people.

However, the planned economy had not yet begun, so going to the steel mill was somewhat of a loss.

It would be appropriate to go next year.

There is also the group of special experts mentioned by Director Wang. Chen Jun also guessed who they are.

Most likely it is a group of experts sent by the Russian side.

These people are very popular and enjoy high treatment in any factory. If they are treated well and taught more skills, they will be of great help to today's steel rolling mills.

"There's no rush to get into the factory. I have to finish my own business. But don't worry, Director Wang. If you need any help, just come to me."

After meeting Director Wang several times, Chen Jun probably had a good idea of ​​this man's character.

He is a pretty good person and is very considerate of the factory.

"Okay, then I'll probably have to trouble you in the future." Director Wang was not disappointed when he was rejected. This was within his expectations.

Lou Bancheng doesn’t have the ability to get Chen Jun to work in the factory right now, so how can he, a director, do it?

Just as Director Wang was about to say goodbye, he glanced at the cabinet next to him.

There happened to be two bottles of wine on it.

This wine is the tiger bone wine and tiger worm wine that Chen Jun put on the cabinet when he got up.

I had originally planned to study it carefully after dinner, but I didn’t expect to be seen by Director Wang.

"Hiss, why is this wine this color?"

Director Wang is a man who has seen the world and guessed that this might be some medicinal liquor.

After all, cooks all like to soak some good things. He Daqing had made snake wine before and showed it off in the cafeteria.

"Um... this should be considered medicinal wine. This bottle is tiger bone wine, and the other bottle is... tiger wine." Chen Jun scratched his head and said, "How about Director Wang, take a bottle and try it?"

"Hahaha, no no, I'm so sorry, these two bottles of wine are probably not cheap."

Although Director Wang was a little envious, he also understood the value of the medicinal wine.

I came here today to ask Chen Jun for help. It’s okay that I didn’t bring any gifts, but how can I have the nerve to take other people’s things when I leave?

Chen Jun smiled and said, "Then I'll bring some wine tomorrow, and we'll have a couple of drinks after we're done."

"Oh, OK!"

Director Wang smiled happily, then said goodbye and left.

Chen Jun politely escorted Director Wang out of the yard. When he came back, Xu Damao couldn't help but come over.

"Chen Jun, are you...are you familiar with Director Wang?"

Xu Damao had not yet taken down Lou Xiaoe, who was a small fry in the steel rolling mill. In his opinion, Director Wang was already a big leader in the factory.

He didn't expect that Director Wang would come to see Chen Jun so early in the morning, and it seemed that he wanted to ask Chen Jun for help.

Chen Jun shook his head: "Not really, we've only met a few times. This time he came to me to ask me to cook a meal at the factory."

"Cook? Cook for whom?" Xu Damao asked anxiously.
