Chapter 34: The Favor of the Leader's Wife
Li Ye smoked a cigarette, counted it to see what ingredients were there, and then decided what to cook according to the ingredients.
Yo, there are a few crabs.
Seeing those crabs, the first dish Li Ye was going to make was decided.
Crab pink lion head, this is the most authentic Huaiyang lion head.
Last time, the ingredients in the cafeteria were limited, and Li Ye could only make a braised lion head.
Dishes with full color and aroma, such as crab roe lion's head, open cattail cabbage, Wensi tofu, and braised silver carp head, were born from Li Ye's hands.
Considering that the leader's wife is from Shu Province and likes to eat spicy, she also prepared the condiments of Sichuan pepper, dried chili pepper and millet spicy.
Li Ye made several famous classic Sichuan dishes such as back pot meat and boiled fish fillets, and finally fried a light and greasy green vegetable, and it came to life.
Li Ye cooked these dishes in advance, and after they were cooked, they were put in the pot and heated, and when Leader Liu started eating, he could serve all the dishes as soon as possible.
Leader Liu led Li Changming and several middle-aged leaders out of the study, and said with a smile: "Okay, the business has been talked about almost now, let's stay for a meal." ”
Leader Liu invited everyone to take a seat, and seven or eight Huaiyang dishes and two or three Sichuan dishes were quickly served.
Leader Liu was a little surprised, looking at the more than ten steaming dishes, he was surprised and said, "It's so fast to serve today." ”
"Leader, today's little master is meticulous in his work. He prepared the dishes in advance and put them in the pot to heat them so that they could be served at any time. ”
The leading secretary explained.
Bai prostituted Li Ye several times, Li Ye spoke well, he didn't have to say anything about things, he was really meticulous, and it was not impossible for the leading secretary to praise Li Ye in front of Leader Liu.
Besides, he is not a boast, he just reported the actual situation to the leader.
Leader Liu was obviously very happy, glanced at Li Changming, and said with a smile: "The little master who cooked today and the little master who cooked that day are the same person, right?" ”
"Exactly, didn't you say that Xiao Li's cooking skills are okay, I thought about bringing him over and asking him to cook a few dishes for the leader."
Li Changming's expression was all that I should do.
Leader Liu smiled knowingly, pointed at Li Changming with his index finger, laughed heartily a few times, and then said to the leading secretary: "Why haven't you seen the little master?" Tell him to come here. ”
The leading secretary went to lie down, and after two minutes, he took Li Yu to the dining room.
"Good leaders Liu, good leaders."
Li Ye smiled and greeted the leaders warmly.
"Little master, it must be very hard to cook so many dishes by yourself, add a bowl and a pair of chopsticks to eat together."
Leader Liu said generously.
If it was replaced by Xu Damao, the leader invited that guy to eat together, and he would definitely immediately turn into a licking dog and lick wildly at the leaders.
As an old social animal, Li Ye understands that it is not necessarily a good thing to eat with the leaders at the table.
Who here is not a leader with a head, a face, and an identity? He is a cook and eats at the same table as the leader, does he talk or not talk when he eats?
If you don't speak, you're embarrassed and look like a fool.
Let's speak, everyone here is a leader, and you dare to talk to the leader about the country as a cook? What you say is not nutritious, and the leader thinks you are useless.
The goods are full of dry goods, you are a cook who is smarter than the leader everywhere, do you want to be mixed?
Eating with leaders who have too many seniors and want a harmonious atmosphere, they can only play the role of a clown like Xu Damao, responsible for making the leader happy.
Li Ye couldn't afford to belittle himself like that.
Secondly, from the moment you make the leader happy as a clown, in the eyes of the leader, your clown's character has been fixed, and there is a high probability that you can only continue to be a clown in the future.
"No, no, all the leaders are big leaders who are full of wealth, I am a cook, I am a shallow learner, I have to ponder several times to understand what the leaders say, how can I be embarrassed to eat at the same table with the leaders?"
Li Ye declined the invitation of Leader Liu, and by the way, blew a wave of leaders present.
"Hahaha, you little master is really interesting. Okay, if you don't want to, I won't force you. But you have to drink this wine. ”
Leader Liu didn't really want to invite Li Ye to eat together, just politely.
Li Ye's knowledge is generally quite appreciated by him, so pouring wine himself can be regarded as giving Li Ye face.
This time, Li Ye couldn't refuse anymore, if he refused again, he would slap the leader in the face, say thank you to the leader, immediately take the glass of wine and drink it all, and sighed that it was the first time he drank such a good wine.
Next, Li Ye returned to the kitchen to sit and drink tea to relieve his boredom.
After a while, a woman came.
This is the leader's wife, Li Ye saw her sitting next to Leader Liu in the dining room just now.
As soon as the leader's wife entered the kitchen, Li Ye immediately stood up.
The leader's wife glanced at Li Ye a few times, the tall man had a big face, tender and handsome, and with the person's harmless and affinity smile, it was difficult to make people disgusted.
The leader's wife took her eyes away from Li Ye's body, glanced around, and found that the kitchen was very tidy, the kitchen waste was cleaned up, and the unused condiments and ingredients were put aside in an orderly manner, which was pleasing to the eye.
The leader's wife added a little more to Li Ye's favorability, and said: "Little master, I can't see that you are young, not only Huaiyang cuisine is very good, but Sichuan cuisine is also very good. ”
"Madame has won the award, and I am such a trivial person. When I was a child, I learned to cook by my father's side, and it took me more than ten years to learn a little bit of fur. The leader and the leader's wife don't dislike my dishes, as long as they are unpalatable. ”
Li Ye said very humbly.
Young, capable and humble, this young man is good.
The leader's wife glanced at Li Ye with appreciation, and said in her heart that it was a pity that this was a cook, if he had a higher education and a better background, he might be able to make a career in the future.
Then again, people came to the house and worked hard to make a large table of dishes for their family, which was quite good, and they definitely needed to be rewarded.
"Master Li, when those leftovers are withdrawn to the kitchen later, you can watch and deal with them.
I still have some tickets here that I don't need, so you can take them back and use them. ”
The leader's wife took out more than a dozen food stamps, meat stamps, cloth stamps and other tickets and handed them to Li Ye, which was the reward for Li Ye to cook at their house today.
Something like this may be difficult for ordinary people to get, but it can't be used up for people of their level.
Li Ye didn't say politely to the leader's wife, and directly accepted the tickets: "Madam, if you want to eat authentic Sichuan food in the future, just let me know, I will definitely arrive as soon as possible." ”
What the leader's wife wants is Li Ye's words.
It's still quite difficult to find a chef in the capital who can cook authentic Sichuan cuisine to her liking.
