Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Master Li? Master Li is busy. Oh, there is stewed winter melon and potatoes for lunch."

Sha Zhu came to the kitchen without saying anything, took a glance at the environment in the kitchen, and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

How come the canteen of such a big steel mill has not been improved for so many years? It is still the same as the one he saw before.

Another thing is that the ingredients prepared are too plain. They are either cabbage, potato, or winter melon and radish. They are far from the ones in Fengdeng Tower.

When the people in the kitchen heard the noise, they all looked towards Sha Zhu.

The leader, Master Li, frowned and glanced at him, then scolded him unhappily, "Get out, this is the kitchen, no one is allowed in."

No entry for outsiders?

Sha Zhu was delighted when he heard it.

"Master Li, I'm He Yuzhu, my father is He Daqing, and I'm here to take over the shift at the steel mill."

"He Daqing's son?" Master Li looked at Sha Zhu suspiciously.

He had seen Sha Zhu before, but it was many years ago and he could not remember his appearance clearly.

But why does He Daqing's son look like his age doesn't match?

Logically, he should be around 20 years old, but he looks older than 25.

"Are you really He Daqing's son?" Master Li asked again.

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Sha Zhu grinned, then walked to Master Li in a very familiar manner and looked down at the ingredients they had prepared.

"Master Li, there are some particular ways to cook winter melon. You can't..."

Sha Zhu wanted to win over Master Li, so he wanted to teach him some cooking techniques.

But in his opinion, it was just teaching techniques, but in Master Li's eyes, it was a different situation.

You, a young man whom I haven’t seen for many years, come up and teach me how to cook?

Master Li was very angry at that time.

Even He Daqing back then wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, right?

We are all cooks in the steel rolling mill. Even though there are some differences in the ranks of the cooks, they are all at the same level in the final analysis.

The way you give orders about the world, people who don’t know you would think you are the master!

"Go, go, go!"

Sha Zhu talked for several minutes, his saliva almost spraying onto the winter melon, and Master Li finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Why are you here instead of going to Canteen No. 1?"

Sha Zhu was also stunned when his teaching was interrupted.

I'm teaching you how to cook with good intentions, why do you have this attitude?

When he first followed Master Liang to learn how to cook, he wanted to wash Master Liang's underpants for him. Even Master Liang was very stingy when he was teaching him the skills.

"I just want to teach you something..." Sha Zhu wanted to refute.

"Do I need you to teach me?" Master Li said unhappily, "When I started cooking, you didn't even know where to put on your crotchless pants!"

Got it!

There is no point in talking if you don't agree with me. Seeing that Master Li looked disobedient, Sha Zhu immediately said something harsh and walked out of the kitchen.

"Okay, don't come begging me then!"

When He Daqing was a chef at a steel rolling mill, he mentioned that Master Li and Master Liu wanted to learn some skills from him.

But He Daqing rejected it.

Now I take the initiative to teach, but Master Li looks down on me.

Sha Zhu is also a stubborn person. He plans to cook a few big pots of dishes at noon to slap Master Li in the face.

He did what he said. Sha Zhu walked out of the door of canteen No. 3 and went straight to canteen No. 1.

At this time, Chen Jun found Liu Lan and others with the note given by Director Song.

"There will be a lunch treat in the cafeteria. Take the note and go to the warehouse to get the food."

When everyone heard that there would be a treat at noon, they were immediately delighted.

Hospitality means leftovers, and the factory leaders naturally disdain to pack up the leftovers, so they give them to the people in the kitchen.

Although these dishes were leftovers, there were still many good dishes. At least half of the dishes on the table were meat dishes.

If I can pack some to take home, it will at least help improve the family's food.

"Okay, Director Chen, let's go now."

Liu Lan took the note, glanced at the ingredients listed on it, and couldn't help swallowing.

Wow, there are chickens, ducks, fish, and even pork elbows and pig’s trotters.

What a rich feast!

If nothing unexpected happens, the scale of today's lunch reception will be quite large, and there will definitely be some leftovers.

Especially since Chen Jun is the chef, with his cooking skills, Liu Lan couldn't even imagine how delicious these dishes would be.

Just as Liu Lan and the others were pushing a cart to the warehouse to get food, Sha Zhu came out from outside, shaking his head.

Seeing Liu Lan and the others, Sha Zhu nodded with satisfaction.

Yes, these people in the kitchen are in good spirits and look very motivated.

But when Liu Lan and the others looked at Sha Zhu, they couldn't help but frown.

Where did this idiot come from? Why doesn't he go to work and hang out in their cafeteria?

"Hey, who is that? What do you do?"

Liu Lan stopped Sha Zhu and asked with her hands on her hips.

Sha Zhu looked Liu Lan up and down and couldn't help curling his lips: "I'm the new chef He Yuzhu."

After a pause, worried that they didn't understand, he added: "He Daqing is my father."

He Daqing's son?

Liu Lan suddenly realized what was going on and pointed at Chen Jun who was not far away: "Shazhu, right? He Yuzhu, go report to the director."

After saying that, he didn't waste any more time and pulled the cart to the warehouse.

Sha Zhu looked in the direction Liu Lan pointed and couldn't help but frowned.

Isn’t this Chen Jun?

Isn’t he the deputy director? Where is the previous Director Song?

Director Song and He Daqing know each other, and Sha Zhu is thinking about getting close to Director Song.

But now I can't find Director Song, so I have to bite the bullet and report to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun also noticed Sha Zhu early on, but there was nothing he could do as the way he kept shaking his head was too eye-catching.

"I have resigned from Fengdeng Building and come to take over He Daqing's job. From now on, I will be in charge of cooking the big pot dishes in Canteen No. 1." Sha Zhu came to Chen Jun to report reluctantly.

Chen Jun nodded and said calmly, "Okay, then you can start as an apprentice. Once you are familiar with the work flow of the canteen, you can start cooking."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was stunned.

Start as an apprentice?

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

After all, I am a descendant of Tan family cuisine and I also studied in Fengdeng Tower for a period of time.

It was already a waste of his talent to be the head chef in the canteen, but Chen Jun actually asked him to start as an apprentice.

This is definitely retaliation!

"Chen Jun, are you doing this on purpose? I come to the cafeteria to be the head chef, not some crappy apprentice." Sha Zhu shouted angrily.

"Oh? Do you have the appointment documents?" Chen Jun asked indifferently.

"Uh..." Sha Zhu was suddenly choked and unable to speak.

Although he was taking over the job, it was a job in the kitchen, which did not have a specific position.

An apprentice is also a job, a handyman is also a job, and a chef is also a job.

So Chen Jun arranged for him to be an apprentice, and there was nothing wrong with the procedure.
