Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"You are seeking revenge. I will report this to the leader!"

Sha Zhu refused to accept that an apprentice who had been driven out of the kitchen by him was now shitting on his neck!

He just didn't believe it. With his skills, he could definitely become a chef. Why should he start as an apprentice?

"Oh, go ahead." Chen Jun said nonchalantly.

In fact, Chen Jun didn't mean to make things difficult for Sha Zhu by letting him start as an apprentice.

It’s because although Sha Zhu has been a chef, he has never cooked big pot dishes. The daily job of the chef in the cafeteria is to cook big pot dishes. If he messes up a pot of food, who will be responsible?

"Okay, just wait for me!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he went to Director Yang angrily to complain.

When Director Yang heard the news, he couldn't help but frown.

It sounded as if Chen Jun was deliberately making things difficult for Sha Zhu.

For the sake of his previous relationship with He Daqing, Director Yang asked his secretary to follow Sha Zhu to the cafeteria to talk to Chen Jun.

Comrade He Yuzhu has inherited the craft from his ancestors and has studied at Fengdenglou, so he is fully qualified to be the head chef. Director Yang came to vouch for him on this point.

"Director Yang, are you sure you want to guarantee Sha Zhu?" Chen Jun asked with some surprise.

The secretary nodded.

He knew Director Yang. The fact that he could guarantee He Yuzhu this time meant that He Daqing had used up all his favors.

"Okay, then give Sha Zhu a pot and let him cook a big pot at noon. If he cooks well, he will be the chef of the No. 1 canteen in the future." After saying that, Chen Jun changed the subject: "But if he doesn't cook well..."

"If you don't do well, I'll go raise pigs!" Sha Zhu patted his chest and shouted proudly.

"Ok!"

Chen Jun nodded, very satisfied with Sha Zhu's awareness.

In this way, Sha Zhu was assigned a large wok. He felt very comfortable watching the apprentices and handymen washing and preparing vegetables for him.

It feels like I have become the team leader in the kitchen. I am only responsible for cooking, while everyone else serves me.

Time flies when you are busy.

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

The bell for the end of get off work rang at the steel mill, and the workers heard the signal for lunch and rushed out of their respective workshops.

The group of people rushing in the front had a clear purpose and headed straight for canteen No. 1.

Those who run slower chose canteen No. 2 or canteen No. 3.

Ever since Chen Jun came to the steel rolling mill, the workers have had one more thing to look forward to every day, and that is a full meal at noon.

Not only has the food in the cafeteria improved, but no one shakes the spoon anymore.

The reputation of the cafeteria has become much better than before, and fewer and fewer people are criticizing it.

At this time, a group of people, accompanied by the factory leaders, walked around the workshop.

The leader was a dark-skinned man. He glanced at the workers rushing towards the canteen and couldn't help but grin.

"Director Yang, the workers in your steel mill are very active. They are so enthusiastic about eating. Is it because the food is good, or are the workers not full?"

Upon hearing this, Director Yang frowned at first, then smiled and said, "Director Wu, you are joking. Recently, the factory changed the deputy director of the canteen and made some small reforms. The taste of the food has improved a lot, so the workers are so enthusiastic."

"Come on, it's time for dinner, let's go eat."

The factory manager surnamed Wu glanced at Director Yang and said deliberately, "Okay, then let's go to the cafeteria to taste the big pot dishes of the steel mill and see how delicious they are."

The people from their machinery factory wanted to come to the steel mill to cause trouble today, but the steel mill had been prepared and the workshops had issued orders early on. After a round of searching, they didn't find anything to mock.

But the workers at the steel rolling mill gave Director Wu some hope.

They all look like starving ghosts. The cafeteria is definitely not suitable for them.

How can you let people starve to this extent?

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards cafeteria No. 1.

Director Yang did not stop them upon seeing this, and the reception was also held in Canteen No. 1.

Before even entering the cafeteria, Director Wu couldn't help sniffing.

hiss......

Not right.

This smell is really too fragrant.

The whole thing is even more tempting than some restaurants’ stir-fried dishes.

When Director Yang saw that Director Wu and the others were surprised by the fragrance, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Director Wu, let's go to the private room to eat. I've already asked someone to prepare the treat. If you want to eat the big pot dishes in the cafeteria, we can just order two portions."

"Fine!"

When everyone arrived at the box, Liu Lan and the others received the signal and started serving the dishes.

Dishes like braised pork with preserved vegetables, mouth-watering chicken, and sweet and sour spare ribs were served one after another.

In order to suit the taste, Chen Jun made the reception this time a bit homely, but the taste was not very homely.

After just smelling the odor, Director Wu and his men no longer had the heart to cause trouble for Director Yang.

At least judging from the hospitality, the steel mill seemed to value them.

"Liu Lan, Director Wu wants to try the big pot dishes in our steel rolling mill. Please go and get a few servings and bring them over." Director Yang waved at Liu Lan and gave the order.

When Liu Lan heard this, she grinned.

These leaders are really rare. Instead of being treated well, they want to eat from a big pot.

Big pot dishes are good. If you eat more of them later, you can eat less of the dishes served as a treat.

In this way, their kitchen staff can pack more.

"Director, do you want Director Chen to cook it or Master He to cook it?" Liu Lan asked.

"Take both." Director Yang also wanted to try this Sha Zhu's cooking skills.

Got it!

This is your own choice.

Liu Lan is not very fond of Sha Zhu who comes to take over the post today. He starts ordering people around as soon as he arrives, and his official authority is even greater than that of Director Chen.

The people in the kitchen originally thought he was very powerful.

In the end the food cooked in the big pot was crap.

Not to mention Director Chen, he is not even half as good as Master Li and Master Liu.

It wasn’t that he was really good at cooking, but it was his first time cooking in such a big pan and he had no experience, so he had a good control of the heat.

As a result, some parts were burnt and some parts were still raw. It's hard to describe the situation.

Director Chen scolded him a few times, but Sha Zhu still refused to accept it and insisted that what he did was fine.

In that case, let Director Yang and his team judge for themselves.

After Liu Lan left the private room, Director Yang called on Director Wu and others to start eating.

Director Wu didn't bother to be polite with him. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried chicken with chili peppers and put it into his mouth.

This fried chicken was made by Chen Jun using a method from Shandong cuisine. The chicken is not blanched. After the ginger slices are fried in oil, the chicken is poured in and stir-fried. The sauce used for the fried chicken is prepared by Chen Jun himself, and the taste is absolutely amazing.

The chicken tasted so good that Director Wu didn't want to speak.

Hiss... Is this the master hired by the steel mill from the big restaurant? He is quite attentive.

It was also the first time for Director Wu to eat chicken cooked with this kind of sauce. After taking a few bites, he was reluctant to put down his chopsticks.
