Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

In the private room, Director Yang made a pot of tea with a very serious attitude and poured tea carefully for each person.

This man wore black-framed glasses and had some graying hair on his temples. His aura was much superior to that of Director Yang.

"Mr. Liu, I'm not exaggerating, but the deputy director we recently hired is an amazing craftsman."

The two of them chatted while drinking tea, and soon the short-haired guy started serving the dishes.

The leader named Liu Lao sniffed and couldn't help saying, "This fragrance is quite strong. Come on, let's taste it together."

As he said that, he took chopsticks and tasted it.

After chewing it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction.

"This fried chicken is the best I've ever had in Beijing. It's even better than the one made by the chef at my old boss's house."

"Xiao Yang, after dinner, call this deputy director over to meet him. If he's free, ask him to come to my house and cook a meal."

Director Yang nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Liu."

After the last dish of fried pork with peppers was served, Director Yang arranged for someone to invite Chen Jun.

Chen Jun was a little surprised and followed him to the private room without even taking off his apron.

"Mr. Liu, this is the Chen Jun I just mentioned. It's no exaggeration to say that I have never tasted better cooking skills than him in the entire city of Beijing."

"Yeah!" Old Liu also nodded in approval.

He looked at Chen Jun kindly, smiled and waved at him: "Comrade Chen Jun, don't be nervous, let's sit down and talk."

"I just heard from your factory manager that you are a very young chef, so I am curious about what kind of young people have such good cooking skills."

nervous?

What are you nervous about?

Chen Jun smiled when he heard this, sat down on the chair naturally, and said modestly: "Leader, you are too kind. I still have a lot to improve."

When Mr. Liu saw this, he was stunned at first, then he smiled.

interesting.

This young man was not at all flustered when he saw me, and his words were very interesting.

So Liu Laobian couldn't help but chat with Chen Jun for a while longer.

I never thought that we would get along better and better, and even talked about some topics related to the current situation and future development.

The key is that Chen Jun was able to answer all the questions, and some of his views and ideas actually coincided with some of his ideas.

Wow, what a talent!

Director Yang was serving tea and water on the side and was surprised when he heard this.

Good man, Chen Jun, you really dare to say anything.

Fortunately, seeing Mr. Liu's reaction, Chen Jun did not say anything wrong, and Director Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I didn't expect Comrade Chen Jun to have such a long-term vision at such a young age. It's not easy." Old Liu smiled and asked, "I wonder if you have time tomorrow."

"If you have any, can you come to my house and cook a meal?"

Tomorrow is the steel mill's day off, and Mr. Liu chose this time on purpose.

"Leader, what time tomorrow?" Chen Jun asked.

There will be a banquet at the Siheyuan tomorrow, and if there is a time conflict, things will be difficult to handle.

After all, the purpose of holding this banquet was to deal with the Jia family, and I would not feel at ease if I was not present.

"Make dinner. If there is time, I can ask the driver to pick you up at home." said Mr. Liu.

"No problem, I'm free tomorrow afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Yang on the side said quickly: "Chen Jun, you are the deputy director of our factory after all. You have more free time. When you are free in the future, you can go to the leader's house to cook a meal. The leader likes your cooking very much."

After saying that, he winked at Chen Jun.

What it means is that this leader is a big shot, and taking good care of him will be of great benefit to our factory.

Seeing this, Chen Jun couldn't help but look at the leader. He had dark circles under his eyes and seemed to look familiar.

Could it be the leader who is familiar with Sha Zhu in the play?

You know what, it’s true when you think about it.

"Okay, with what you said, Director Yang, I will have free time in the future." Chen Jun joked.

"Hahahaha." Old Liu was also very satisfied when he heard this.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll send a driver over tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll bring Chen Jun over tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Liu, you like Sichuan cuisine, so let Chen Jun cook a table of authentic Sichuan cuisine tomorrow night." Director Yang said.

Old Liu smiled and shook his head: "Don't look at Comrade Chen Jun's youth, but his cooking skills are not low at all. He can even enter Diaoyutai. For such a chef, he should be treated as he should be. I will arrange a driver tomorrow afternoon, so don't argue about this."

"Come, get a pair of chopsticks for Comrade Chen Jun, so we can eat and chat."

Ah? ?

Director Yang was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Chen Jun with some envy.

I begged for a long time before I finally invited this person to come to the steel rolling mill for dinner, but I didn't expect that Chen Jun would sit at the same table with them so easily.

It was obvious that Chen Jun was very much to Mr. Liu's liking.

Chen Jun was not polite either, he just happened not to have eaten.

In this way, Mr. Liu and Chen Jun ate and chatted in the private room, and Director Yang played the role of serving tea and water from time to time.

He wanted to interrupt and chat a few words, but he found that Chen Jun and Mr. Liu were talking about too many different things.

If I speak rashly and say something wrong, it will affect the impression I make in Mr. Liu's mind.

Well, I'd better just serve tea and water honestly.

"You actually know physics?"

Teacher Liu was more and more surprised as he talked. He didn't expect Chen Jun to have such a wide range of knowledge. "It's a pity for you not to continue studying."

Chen Jun grinned and said, "Being a chef is pretty good. My family wasn't well off before. My mother was sick and my sister dropped out of school. I relied on my cooking skills to gradually improve our family's situation."

"Now my mother has recovered, my sister has gone back to school, and I have also been admitted to our steel mill. Everything is going well now."

"Well, you did a great job then."

Old Liu didn't expect that Chen Jun's family was in such a difficult situation: "What about your father?"

"Chen Jun's father was a soldier and died two years ago." Director Yang finally found an opportunity to interrupt and said quickly.

Or the family of a martyr!

Suddenly, Mr. Liu's eyes became more kind when he looked at Chen Jun.

Judging from Chen Jun's conversation, he must have been an excellent student and a good potential when he was in school.

But in order to support the family, he chose to drop out of school.

The key point is that he really managed to carry it, which is amazing at such a young age.

"Chen Jun, I admire you very much. Although being a chef is a very popular profession, you should not slack off and read more books."

"How about this, come to my house whenever you want to read a book. I have a lot of books at home."

Ok?

When Director Yang heard this, he was drooling with envy.

On the surface, Mr. Liu meant for Chen Jun to study more, but he heard it as a hint of cultivation.

I'm jealous!

Director Yang is really envious!

He has known Mr. Liu for such a long time, but he has never received such treatment.
