Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

The next morning.

Chen Jun went around the cafeteria and warehouse as usual, and after making sure there were no problems, he prepared to go to the kitchen to arrange work.

When I walked to Canteen No. 1, I ran into Director Song head-on.

Whoops!

It’s not easy to see Director Song in the cafeteria at this time.

Generally, Director Song would show up before lunch, pack two meals and go to the weaving factory to have lunch with his wife.

In the afternoon, I occasionally come to Chen Jun’s office to drink tea and chat. The whole day can be said to be very relaxing.

"Hey, Chen Jun is here!"

When Director Song saw that Chen Jun had finished his stroll, he greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Director Song!" Chen Jun also smiled and nodded.

"Well, I won't beat around the bush. Can you go out and cook when you are free? My father-in-law's birthday is in a few days. Your sister-in-law tasted the food you cooked and thought it was delicious, so she sent me to ask." Director Song asked straight to the point.

Going out to cook? ?

Isn't this just a family dinner?

Chen Jun nodded: "I usually don't take calls, but since you asked me to, Director Song, I have to go and help. I'll prepare in advance for the specific day."

Director Song was delighted when he heard this and grinned.

He was very satisfied with Chen Jun's attitude. In other places, the director and deputy director always had some conflicts, but this was not the case in their cafeteria.

Sometimes, when Chen Jun entertained guests, he would even leave some of the dishes for later use.

These dishes are all good stuff, not only the ingredients are good, but the taste is even better. Chen Jun will take them to his office and the two of them will eat together.

If it weren't for the fact that they were not allowed to drink at work, Director Song would have wanted to drag Chen Jun over for a few drinks.

Therefore, Director Song thinks that Chen Jun is a good person. Although he is young, he is serious and responsible in his work and has good interpersonal skills.

Especially since Chen Jun came to the cafeteria, he, as the director, felt much more relaxed and more comfortable than some retired cadres.

"I'll take you there the day after tomorrow at noon. Don't worry, I won't let your work be in vain." Director Song patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and looked very happy.

The day after tomorrow at noon?

Chen Jun thought about it and felt that there was still time.

As for skipping work, Chen Jun was not worried at all. After all, it was Director Song, the chief director, who took him out, and if there were any problems, he would go to him.

"Oh, that's too polite to say that!"

The two chatted for a while at the entrance of the cafeteria, and then Chen Jun went back to the kitchen to busy himself.

Now that the pigpen is not busy, Sha Zhu is also working in the kitchen washing, cutting and cleaning.

It’s not that he was willing to do this, but Chen Jun said that if he performed well, he would be given another chance to cook.

When he heard that he could cook, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up.

He is a young master from Fengdeng Building, but he came to the steel rolling mill and actually went to feed pigs. How embarrassing it would be if this got out!

So he had to try every possible way to cook and became the chef in the steel mill.

In this way, not only will your salary increase, but your job will also become decent, and more importantly, you can pack lunch boxes every day.

Whether Chen Jun was cooking a big pot of food or entertaining guests in the kitchen, he never avoided the people in the kitchen. Whenever Master Liu and Master Li were free, they would come to Canteen No. 1 to watch Chen Jun cook, and Chen Jun would patiently answer any questions they did not understand.

Sha Zhu was originally unconvinced and felt that Master Li and Master Liu were trying to curry favor with Deputy Director Chen Jun.

But after watching it a few times, he was completely convinced.

Because Chen Jun really teaches!

He was more serious than most masters teaching their apprentices. After listening a few times, Sha Zhu learned a lot.

We had a small banquet at noon today, with only six dishes.

When the cooking was going on, almost all the people in the kitchen came to watch, especially the two apprentices, who didn't even blink.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to squeeze to the front, but was kicked out by Liu Lan.

How dare you, a newcomer, compete with us old guys?

Sha Zhu was a very polite person. After being kicked, he stopped trying to squeeze in and stood at the back, stretching his head to look forward.

Six dishes were not too many, and Chen Jun finished cooking them in no time.

This dish is not only delicious, but also has a large portion. Chen Jun directly divided a portion into two lunch boxes and took them to find Director Song.

Everyone was extremely envious when they saw this, but they didn't have any objections.

Normally, the chef who serves as a host will also leave some dishes behind, under the pretext of tasting the saltiness, so the canteen leaders also turn a blind eye.

Now Chen Jun is the leader of the cafeteria, and he eats this dish with Director Song. Who dares to object?

Sha Zhu watched the dishes being sent to the private room and swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner.

He thought he had good talent, was a good cook, and cooked delicious food, but after watching Chen Jun cook from a close distance, he was completely convinced.

I don't even feel jealous.

If someone is stronger than him, Shazhu will definitely not accept it.

There are more powerful ones, and Sha Zhu will be jealous that Chen Jun is more powerful than him.

But if the gap between the two is too big, Sha Zhu would think it’s nothing.

Chef Liang from Fengdeng Building is not as good as Chen Jun, but he doesn’t feel ashamed. So what should I be ashamed of?

While Chen Jun and Liu Lan were not in the kitchen, Sha Zhu quietly came to Wang Xia and squatted down.

"Auntie Wang, weren't you in the fitter's workshop before? Why did you transfer to our cafeteria?"

Sha Zhu felt something strange a few days ago, but never found a chance to ask.

The jobs in a steel rolling mill are fixed and will not be transferred unless there are special circumstances.

It’s like if you enter a factory and work as a blacksmith, you will basically be a blacksmith forever.

If you are a fitter, then you are basically a fitter.

Unless some popular positions, such as buyer, projectionist, warehouse manager, etc. are transferred to the workshop, this is not only not troublesome, but you can even make some money.

But if you want to transfer from the locksmith workshop to the canteen, it’s not that easy.

Of course, it's not completely impossible. You can just spend money and use connections, and things can be done if the money is in place, but doing so will cost a lot.

Wang Xia looked at Sha Zhu with some caution and said calmly, "It was arranged by the factory. I don't know the details."

The fact that the steel rolling mill gave Chen Jun two places was kept secret by his family. If some people knew about it, they would definitely try to take the places.

Just like the workstation at home before, Yi Zhonghai has always been thinking about it.

If they knew that Chen Jun still had a vacancy for a job in the cafeteria, wouldn't they be so greedy?

Although the salary in the canteen is not as high as that in the fitter and forging workshop, the work in the canteen is easy, the rest time is longer, and it is also easier to take leave.

What's more important is that you don't need to queue up to eat, and for the same price you can eat better and more full than others. If you're lucky, you can even pack some leftovers to take home. Overall, it's a relatively good job.
