Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"I'm just concerned about you, you have no conscience!" Jia Zhang replied.

what?

Seeing this, an old lady standing by stared at Jia Zhang with a wary look on her face.

There's too much ambiguity between the two of you!

"Chen Jun has promised not to shake the spoon for Lao Yi. The matter has been resolved!" The aunt didn't want to say anything more to Jia Zhang, so she simply told her the result.

After saying that, he pulled Yi Zhonghai away.

"Hey, wait!"

Jia Zhang directly blocked the two of them and said unhappily, "What do you mean? Chen Jun doesn't want to shake the spoon for Old Yi, so what about our Dongxu?"

"Dongxu is your disciple after all, you can't just ignore him!"

"Chen Jun didn't even give Dongxu a heads-up!" Yi Zhonghai felt that Jia Zhang had something wrong with her brain.

The reason why I went to the backyard to find Chen Jun was to give the Jia family an extra quota to enter the factory.

As a result, the task was not accomplished and he was targeted by the people in the cafeteria.

The Jia family knew about this, but had no intention of helping, not even a word of concern.

Just now, he wanted to take Jia Dongxu with him to apologize to Chen Jun. This would be the safest way, but the Jia family was not happy.

Now that I have solved the problem myself, the Jia family is not happy.

What on earth does the Jia family want to do?

"The matter has been resolved. Chen Jun won't make trouble anymore." Yi Zhonghai explained patiently.

"What about my son Dongxu?" Jia Zhang asked relentlessly.

"Chen Jun didn't shake the spoon for Dongxu!!" Yi Zhonghai felt that he had explained it clearly enough, but Jia Zhang in front of him seemed to be unable to get around the circumvention.

"I don't care. Go find Chen Jun and ask him to forgive Dongxu. Otherwise, what will Dongxu do if the canteen staff shakes the spoon after work?" Jia Zhang muttered, "Dongxu is weak to begin with. If he doesn't have enough food, how can he work? He..."

He muttered a lot of nonsense, and both Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were a little overwhelmed.

"Stop, stop, don't say any more. The matter has been turned over. Chen Jun will not shake the spoon for me or Dong Xu anymore. Okay, get out of the way. I have to go home to eat.

Yi Zhonghai simply waved his hand to interrupt Jia Zhang's speech, and hurriedly pulled the old lady home.

"Oh, you have no conscience!" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to help, Jia Zhang spat at both of them fiercely.

"What the hell? You are Dongxu's master. How selfish!"

......

Time passed quickly and several days passed.

The city is getting warmer and warmer, and many people in the courtyard have changed their cotton coats into thin outer jackets.

This morning, Chen Jun walked around the cafeteria as usual, and then called everyone in the kitchen together for an emergency meeting.

"I called everyone here today. I believe you all know what's going on." Chen Jun took a quick look and spoke only after making sure that everyone in the kitchen was present.

Master Li was dressed particularly smartly today. He waved his fist and shouted, "Cook assessment!"

"Yes, the cook assessment!" Chen Jun nodded and continued, "I have seen your recent progress, especially Master Li and Master Liu. Your cooking skills have improved. Recently, many workers have written letters of praise to the canteen, saying that the taste has become better than before."

"In addition to the quality of the dishes, the hygiene and service of the canteen have also been recognized by the workers. This is inseparable from the efforts of everyone."

"I hope that everyone who signed up can get a satisfactory result for this assessment. Of course, if you don't perform well, you can keep trying."

"Director Chen, is it time for us to set off?" Sha Zhu couldn't wait to take off his pig feeder's hat.

He is the heir of Tan family cuisine and came from a big restaurant. If he does not take the cook assessment, he will always be an apprentice.

Therefore, Sha Zhu is looking forward to today's cook assessment more than anyone else.

Chen Jun glanced at him and said, "Shazhu, you signed up for the ninth-level cook position this time. Is that okay?"

In the original drama, Sha Zhu was an eighth-level cook in the steel rolling mill, and his cooking skills were considered very good.

For this cook assessment, Sha Zhu skipped level ten and directly applied for level nine. Although there were some risks, Chen Jun didn't think it was a big problem.

But if there is a mistake in the assessment, Sha Zhu will have to come back to be an apprentice.

"No problem. Actually, I wanted to take the Level 8 exam at first, but I felt it was too eye-catching, so I signed up for the Level 9 exam." Sha Zhu shook his head and said proudly.

After saying that, he glanced at Liu Lan beside him without leaving a trace.

But unfortunately, Liu Lan didn't even look at him.

"Okay, once you pass the ninth-level cook assessment, I'll let you cook in the big pot."

"Okay, everyone, get busy. Those who are taking the test will gather in Canteen No. 1 at 10:30, and those who are not taking the test will stay in the canteen to get food. The number of people should be evenly distributed, so that there won't be a situation where one canteen is overstaffed and another is understaffed."

After saying that, Chen Jun clapped his hands and announced the disbandment.

"Okay!" Shazhu howled, then trotted off to feed the pigs.

The rest of the people also dispersed. Master Liu and Master Li looked at each other and walked up to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun looked at them with some surprise, then asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Master Liu and Master Li have made great progress in recent times. Chen Jun feels that they are almost certain to pass the assessment.

"Director Chen, we both know our previous level very well. If it weren't for you, we would probably have stayed like this for the rest of our lives."

"You have taught us so many things selflessly, and you have never hidden anything from us. We will never forget this kindness. How about you accept us as your disciples?"

Master Liu and Master Li looked at Chen Jun very seriously, and after saying these words they actually wanted to kneel down in front of Chen Jun.

Chen Jun's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly grabbed the arms of the two men and lifted them up.

"Hey, what are you two doing?!"

Seeing the expressions of Master Li and Master Liu, Chen Jun naturally understood that they were not joking with him.

Nowadays, it is said that if a chef teaches his apprentice, he will starve to death. This is especially true for chefs. Unless someone like Sha Zhu has a father who is a chef, the rest of the people who want to learn the real skills of cooking can only rely on learning from a master.

Even if you become an apprentice to a master, you may not necessarily learn all of the master's skills, as masters will more or less hide some of their skills.

This is still the case if you meet a relatively good master. If you meet a black-hearted one, he will treat you as free labor. You will have to clean tables for three years, sweep the floor for three years, and cut wood for the rest of your life, but he will not teach you the skills.

But Chen Jun was different. He not only taught them step by step, but also gave them some recipes unconditionally.

In their eyes, isn’t this a master-like existence?

Although they are both older than Chen Jun, it is not shameful to be Chen Jun's apprentice since they know who is more capable.
