Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

He Yuzhu's heart was filled with disbelief and anger, and he could not accept the reality before him.

Lu Qing, the person he had always looked down upon, was originally the character in his plan to be kicked out of the steel mill after squeezing out the surplus value.

Especially regarding the house left by Lu Qing's mother, He Yuzhu had already made up his mind. He was just waiting for Lu Qing to lose his income and be forced to sell the house. Then he could easily take over.

However, Lu Qing's performance in the past two days made He Yuzhu feel weird.

Yesterday, Lu Qing actually dared to beat me up without any chance of fighting back. I had planned to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson today, but I found out that Lu Qing not only knows how to cook, but he cooks better than me!

"This is impossible!"

He Yuzhu kept repeating this sentence in his mind. How could a person who was once stepped on by him suddenly become more powerful than him?

He pointed at Lu Qing and said in a deep voice, "What on earth are you playing at? How can you cook?"

Lu Qing looked calm, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and asked back: "If you can cook, why can't I? Are you the only one in the whole capital who can cook Sichuan cuisine?"

Liu Lan immediately agreed, "Shazhu, you never wanted to teach Lu Qing, but there must be someone willing to teach him, right? It's not surprising that Lu Qing learned it by himself."

However, He Yuzhu sneered, thinking he had found a breakthrough in his explanation: "Heh, I think you knew that the big boss was coming today, so you learned these dishes on purpose, and you wanted to show off your skills, right?"

His words made the people around him nod their heads, and even Liu Lan looked at Lu Qing in confusion, feeling a little shaken.

After all, Lu Qing had never shown that he could cook before, so it was a bit too strange that he suddenly showed off his skills today.

What He Yuzhu said does not sound unreasonable. It is not impossible for a person to learn a few of the favorite dishes of senior leaders in a short period of time and then take the opportunity to show them off.

Seeing that everyone agreed with what he said, He Yuzhu's face became even more proud. He raised his head, as if he had seen through Lu Qing's little trick: "You think you can hide this little trick from me?"

However, Lu Qing suddenly laughed, his eyes full of contempt.

He looked at He Yuzhu and said coldly, "He Yuzhu, you still haven't faced the reality. Do you think I can only cook these few dishes?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned and didn't understand what Lu Qing meant.

"I know you're not happy to see me become so powerful, after all, you've always suppressed me." Lu Qing looked directly at He Yuzhu and continued, "But I can tell you clearly now that I'm no longer the Lu Qing I used to be. I can cook more than just these three dishes - I can cook all Sichuan dishes!"

He Yuzhu's eyes turned cold and he sneered, "Okay, since you are so confident, I will test you now. If you can't do it, get out of the cafeteria immediately!"

Lu Qing agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I agree!"

Hearing Lu Qing's decisiveness, Zheng Min and Liu Lan couldn't help but show worried expressions. They hurried forward and advised: "Lu Qing, don't be impulsive. He Yuzhu will definitely make things difficult for you."

The "test" proposed by He Yuzhu was obviously a deliberate trap, intended to force Lu Qing into a desperate situation.

He thought Lu Qing would definitely fail, and then took the opportunity to kick him out of the cafeteria.

Although Lu Qing's salary was not high after becoming He Yuzhu's apprentice, he could still make ends meet.

Moreover, Lu Qing has a wife and two children to support at home, so leaving the factory would undoubtedly be very risky.

Zheng Min, Liu Lan and others looked at Lu Qing with worry on their faces.

However, Lu Qing seemed very confident. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Seeing this, Zheng Min was still worried, but when he saw Lu Qing's determined eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little trust in him.

The Lu Qing in front of him is indeed no longer the timid person he used to be.

He Yuzhu sneered and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Since you are so confident, I will test you now. Be mentally prepared."

Lu Qing reminded calmly, "Okay, but you have to think clearly about what we have in the cafeteria. I can't make something that we don't have."

He Yuzhu glanced around and finally picked a tricky dish: "Boiled pork slices, all the ingredients are available, can you make it?"

When everyone heard this, they were all worried for Lu Qing.

Boiled pork slices is not a simple dish. The preparation process is complicated and it tests the chef's skills, especially the control of heat and seasoning.

He Yuzhu chose this dish obviously to make things difficult for Lu Qing and embarrass him.

Everyone looked at Lu Qing, their faces full of worry.

Liu Lan and Zheng Min looked questioning, but Lu Qing seemed unusually calm.

He nodded to Zheng Min, who understood what he meant and immediately started helping to light the fire.

Lu Qing skillfully arranged the side dishes. He knew that this boiled pork slices had three main steps: first, making the vegetables at the bottom, then preparing the meat slices, and finally adding the chili peppers and pouring hot oil on them.

He Yuzhu's improved version omitted many steps, but Lu Qing decided to make it the most authentic way.

As time went by, the smile on He Yuzhu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an increasingly solemn expression.

He stared at Lu Qing's every move, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.

Ma Hua and Zheng Min were also very familiar with the cooking process of this dish. They had learned how to boil the pork slices countless times from He Yuzhu.

Seeing that every step Lu Qing took was so accurate and even more exquisite, they couldn't help but feel surprised.

The meat slices made by Lu Qing are fragrant and colorful, and are obviously more authentic than those made by He Yuzhu.

Gradually, the way people looked at Lu Qing changed.

The initial suspicion had completely disappeared, replaced by deep admiration.

Not only is he able to perfectly cook this complex dish, he’s also able to improve on it, making it more authentic and more layered than He Yuzhu’s version.

He Yuzhu's face became extremely gloomy, and his heart was filled with shock and anger.

How can it be?

How could Lu Qing do so well?

He was originally just an apprentice with no cooking skills, but now he is better than me?

A dish of fresh, spicy boiled pork slices was quickly prepared and placed hot in front of everyone.

Lu Qing put down the spoon, looked at He Yuzhu with a bit of confidence and provocation, and asked calmly: "How is it? Did I pass?"

He Yuzhu's face turned pale, and he admitted defeat very reluctantly. He said with a stiff face: "Don't be too happy too soon. Just looking good is useless. We are making food, and only good taste counts!"

Lu Qing smiled and turned to look at the other two masters: "You are right, why not ask the two masters to taste my craftsmanship and see if it is just good-looking in appearance."

Lin Bingjian walked up generously, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Okay, I'll try it."

Later, Tan Rui followed and said, "Let me try it too."

Each of them picked up a piece of meat, which was covered in oil, crystal clear and exuding a rich aroma.

When you take a bite, the meat is tender, spicy and fragrant, and the various flavors blend perfectly in your mouth.

Lin Bingjian showed a satisfied expression and praised: "Delicious! Really delicious!"

Tan Rui nodded in agreement: "Not bad! This is the best boiled pork slices I have ever eaten!"

Seeing that both chefs looked satisfied, Ma Hua was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the chopsticks and took a bite.

Zheng Min and Liu Lan were equally impatient and picked up their chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat.

"It's so delicious! The meat slices are not too spicy, but very fragrant and have a delicate texture. It's absolutely amazing!" Liu Lan praised it highly, and others also praised it.

Lu Qing smiled slightly and his eyes fell on He Yuzhu again.

He Yuzhu had a complicated expression on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

He was stunned for a moment and stood still.

The meat was tender and smooth, with a strong aroma and not greasy at all. It was even better than what he made himself.

He Yuzhu suddenly felt unwilling.

How is this possible? How did Lu Qing become so powerful?

Seeing that everyone looked satisfied, Lu Qing asked again, "How is it? Did I pass?"

He Yuzhu felt extremely frustrated. Although he knew that Lu Qing did a great job, he was still unwilling to give up. He said in an unhappy tone: "It's only the first dish. Don't be too proud too soon. I still have to test you!"

Just as He Yuzhu was about to continue to embarrass Lu Qing, Director Li hurried in from outside and interrupted him: "Why take the test! You don't need to take it!"

He Yuzhu frowned, feeling very unhappy, but before he could react, Director Li had already walked up to Lu Qing and said with a smile on his face: "The leader is very satisfied with the dishes you cooked, and he specifically asked me to bring a message to you, asking you to come over. The leader wants to ask you a few words."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was completely shocked!

The big boss actually took the initiative to ask Lu Qing questions? What does this mean? Lu Qing actually wants to climb up the big tree of the big boss?
