Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

After these words were spoken, the people in the kitchen became restless.

If you want to learn how to cook, you can also come to him? ?

Is it true that this incredible wealth has become their turn in the kitchen?

Some people who have come into contact with Chen Jun have begun to get excited, especially those who helped in the kitchen and Master Li. They have come into contact with Chen Jun and know that Chen Jun never avoids comments when cooking, and will even talk while he is cooking.

Not to mention learning from Chen Jun, even if they just follow behind him to help, these people in the kitchen can learn something.

Nowadays, if you want to make more money working in a factory, there is only one way, that is to honestly participate in the assessment. After passing the assessment, your salary can be increased.

There were no ways to learn before, but Chen Jun now gives them hope.

Thinking of this, there was another round of intense applause from the audience, which lasted for several minutes before gradually fading away.

Director Song at the side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this. Instead of being envious, he felt somewhat fortunate.

It would be a good idea to ask Chen Jun to be the deputy director. The people below respect him very much, and this way I can have more leisure time.

As for whether Chen Jun would take his position, Director Song was not worried at all. He had been in the cafeteria for so many years and had not committed any major crimes, so it was impossible for the factory to fire him.

After Director Wang left, Director Song patted Chen Jun on the shoulder in a familiar manner, and then took him around the cafeteria.

First, I went to the cafeteria to learn about where things were stored and some specific procedures for taking things.

Then he took him to the cafeteria office. What Chen Jun didn't expect was that the deputy director also had an independent office, which was fully equipped with tables, chairs and benches, and even a brand new porcelain mug for drinking water.

Chen Jun looked at the office, then at Director Li, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Director Song is really too enthusiastic. He explained everything clearly.

If you don’t know, you would think he is going to retire tomorrow.

But Director Li obviously didn't notice Chen Jun's strange look, and happily gave half of his tea to the deputy director's office.

After strolling around, Chen Jun returned to the kitchen.

Although everyone in the cafeteria has met before, today is the first time I officially go to work, so I have to show off my skills so that I can calm the situation.

"Master Li, what food is available in the cafeteria for lunch today?"

Chen Jun came to canteen No. 2, took a look around inside and saw some common vegetables.

"Director Chen, it's still the same old things. Steamed buns and corn bread for lunch, and the big pot dishes are cabbage, potatoes and radishes." Master Li replied.

Chen Jun nodded and said, "Okay, call Master Liu from Canteen No. 3. I'll fry a pot of shredded potatoes first, and you can watch and learn from the side."

It’s only the first day and you can already learn?

Master Li's eyes lit up and he hurried out to find Master Liu.

When everyone arrived, Chen Jun brought a basin of clean potatoes.

You know what, the potatoes purchased by the steel mill are pretty good, better than those bought by ordinary families.

After scraping the chopping board with a kitchen knife, Chen Jun picked up the knife and prepared to cut potatoes.

Master Liu and Master Li were stunned when they saw this, and quickly said, "Director Chen, let us do the vegetable cutting."

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is not them who are responsible for cutting vegetables. It is mainly the apprentices in the canteen who are responsible for it.

For example, in the canteen now, there are only two chefs with the level of cooks, and the rest are all apprentices. Master Li and Master Liu are at level nine and ten respectively. When the future Sha Zhu enters the factory, he will only be at level eight.

It can be seen how difficult it is to improve the level of this cook.

Apart from these two cooks, the rest were kitchen helpers and four apprentices, with Master Liu and Master Li each leading two of them.

So usually, the vegetables cutting and preparation are done by my apprentices.

As an apprentice, you normally have to learn cutting wood for one or two years. If you are not talented, you will have to learn cutting wood for three or four years. Only after you have mastered the knife skills can you learn how to cook, and usually you will learn for two or three years. So if you want to become a chef, it will take at least four or five years, which is relatively fast. It will take longer if you are slower.

"No, it's a good opportunity for us to exchange some knife skills. All of us chefs know that knife skills are the entry-level homework for learning to be a chef. Only when you have mastered knife skills can you cook with ease."

Although it was called communication, Chen Jun picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting.

As soon as he finished speaking, a whole potato was cut into neat slices.

The whole process is as smooth as flowing water, as if it was cut out by a machine.

He used a kitchen knife to scrape the potato slices into a bowl nearby. Master Li, who was standing by, curiously picked up a few slices and looked at them. After comparing them, he couldn't help but praise, "Director Chen's knife skills are amazing, even better than my master's."

Upon hearing this, an apprentice couldn't help but move closer. He found that the thickness of each potato slice was almost the same, and it was impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye.

"That's amazing! Director Chen and I are about the same age, but our skills are worlds apart!"

Just when the people in the kitchen were wondering about the potato chips, Chen Jun had already finished cutting the potatoes.

At most, it only takes five or six minutes, but if it were any other time, it would take more than ten minutes to get down.

After simply chopping some green onions, ginger and garlic, Chen Jun began to ask his apprentices to light the fire.

This was the first time Chen Jun used such a big pot and spatula, but as a third-level cook, it was no problem at all.

Holding the spatula, which is like a small shovel, in your hand, it feels like your life-long weapon and is extremely easy to use.

Heat oil in a pan, sauté until fragrant, then add potatoes and stir-fry.

Except for lighting the fire, no one helped throughout the whole process, but Chen Jun did it very smoothly by himself, as if he had been a master craftsman for decades.

Every step was taken to perfection, even the time of taking the food out of the pan was very precise. After the shredded potatoes were fried, the entire kitchen was filled with the aroma.

It's already past ten in the morning, and some people who ate little breakfast have already started drooling when they smell this fragrance.

Scooping out a small bowl of potatoes with a spoon, Chen Jun said with a smile: "Try the dish. This is also my first time to cook with the big pot in the cafeteria. If there are any shortcomings, please speak freely, and we can communicate and make progress together."

Master Li couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard this.

Communicate together? Make progress together?

Are they worthy?

"Look at Director Chen, you are so good at speaking." Master Liu laughed a few times, "Just this fragrance, I have never smelled it even at Master's place. Ordinary fried potatoes can be made so fragrant. Director Chen, what level of cook are you?"

Chen Jun smiled without saying anything. Seeing this, Master Liu picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

Um! !

It’s sour, spicy and crispy, really delicious!

Without being able to comment, Master Liu quickly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then the third chopstick, the fourth chopstick, the fifth chopstick...
