With the canteen to eat everyone left one after another, the three canteens finished the morning's work, after the silly pillar and the others had eaten, everyone sat on the chair to rest and rest, chatted and chatted, silly zhu sat on the chair and looked at the recipes and listened to the gossip of many aunts, this kind of life made silly zhu feel very comfortable, whether it was the previous apprentice or the silly pillar in the memory of the later generations did not have this experience for decades

In my memory, my later life is very arrogant, and at the same time I am very inferior, I am a cook, to put it mildly, I am serving people, especially when my cooking skills are not good in the early stage, my father left his teenage self and his sister to go to Baocheng, the two of them had difficulty eating in the early stage, and the life of the two brothers and sisters only improved slightly after the stupid pillar came to work in the rolling mill, and the stupid pillar rarely chatted with these people, especially after becoming a chef, he came to work at more than 10 o'clock in the morning, and slept on the chair after work at noon

Silly Zhu suddenly found that he liked this kind of working environment, and suddenly at this time, Lou Bancheng's secretary and a strange young woman came over, Lou Bancheng's secretary walked up to Silly Zhu and said:

"Master He, there is a reception in the evening, you may need to work overtime in the evening, Lou Dong just told me to tell you, you can get off work first if you have anything to do, and come back later."

Silly Zhu nodded after hearing Lou Bancheng's secretary's words, "No problem, what do you call me, don't call me Master He in the future, it sounds like calling me Dad, just call me Silly Zhu if you like"

"That's not good, my surname is Chen, you can call me Secretary Chen, you see what ingredients you need, I'll have someone send them to you later" Secretary Chen felt very strange when he heard the stupid words, and some people let themselves call him stupid, but he also knew that this kind of title was a bit scolding and hurriedly retorted

Silly Zhu didn't say anything when he heard Secretary Chen's words, the name was just a title, "Where are the guests who come at night, and do you have any special tastes?"

"Special taste, Comrade Wenren, do you have any taboos?" Secretary Chen looked at the woman who was traveling with him

"A few of us are from the Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant, if you can, it's better to cook a few Sichuan dishes, and a few comrades from Shanghai" Wenren Mingxue frowned after listening to Secretary Chen's words and thought about it: "I don't know if this master can cook Shanghai local dishes"

Shanghai cuisine is the name of Shanghai's local cuisine, the cooking method is often braised in Shanghai, simmering, sugar-based, people in Shanghai are mostly light and refreshing, silly Zhu thought about whether there is an experience of doing Shanghai cuisine in his memory, but he didn't expect to really find it, in the 90s, Lou Xiao'e invited himself to Hong Kong to participate in a chef exchange conference, there were a few chefs from Shanghai at the meeting, at that time he and these masters were quite on the right taste, and they also learned a few Shanghai dishes from the hands of those masters, Later, after returning to BJ, I communicated with my father and improved the recipe to make those dishes more in line with the taste of BJ people

Silly Zhu thought about it, so he turned his head to look at Wen Ren Mingxue, "I really know a few Shanghai dishes, but it's not much, do you think it's appropriate to make a dish of Babao duck and local braised pork in Shanghai?" I'll make the rest into Sichuan food."

Wenren Mingxue didn't expect that the chef in front of him, who looked young, would also know Shanghai cuisine, the taste of Shanghai cuisine is light and not very in line with northerners, so most chefs in northerners don't like to be good at Shanghai cuisine

"Of course you can, there are only 2 Shanghainese among us, two dishes are just right" Wenren Mingxue happily agreed, and then Secretary Chen said: "Master He has a group of 9 people tonight, and you may need to cook more than a dozen dishes, you work hard, you will give me a menu and I will let people prepare the ingredients now"

Silly Zhu asked the assistant chef of the canteen to go to the director of the canteen and bring paper and pen to write down the dishes he had just thought, and handed them to Secretary Chen after writing

Watching Secretary Chen and the two leave, Silly Zhu thought for a while, or if he didn't go home, he would have to come back again, and after talking to Master Yang and others, he turned around and went back to the back kitchen to rest, after all, it is a big project to make more than a dozen dishes at night.

In a daze, Silly Zhu heard someone shouting Master He, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Sister Wang, "What's wrong with Sister Wang, what time is it?"

"Master He, it's almost 4 o'clock, Secretary Chen asked someone to send the dishes over" Sister Wang saw that Silly Zhu woke up and turned around to clean up the tools needed to cook the dishes

Silly Zhu heard that it was 4 o'clock, and hurriedly got up and found that only Sister Wang was alone in the back kitchen, "What about Master Yang?" asked Silly Zhu curiously

"They all helped in the warehouse, and some pork was sent from outside, saying that it was for the workers' New Year's welfare, and the people in the warehouse were not enough, and the director asked the people in our canteen to go to the warehouse to help," Sister Wang did not work while talking

By the time Lao Ji returned to the back kitchen, the two of them had already made the preparations, and at this time, Director Tang walked in, "The pillar can start stir-frying, Lou Dong, they are coming over."

"Okay, let's start now" Silly Zhu heard the director's words and began to prepare stir-fried dishes, the dishes that Silly Zhu is going to cook today are Kung Pao chicken, back to the pot meat, Dongpo elbow, as well as 2 dishes of Shanghai cuisine braised pork and Babao duck, as well as mapo tofu and fish-flavored shredded pork

Originally, Silly Zhu planned to make Sichuan cuisine except for 2 Shanghai dishes, but later he was afraid that there would be people in the region, so he changed to a few Lu dishes to make a sugar cool tenderloin and a product of tofu, and made the fish head into a chopped pepper fish head, and the fish body was left here to make soup

After 10 dishes and a soup, he sat on a chair to rest, and made more than a dozen dishes in a row, and he couldn't even lift his arms when he was so tired that he saw his sister He Yushui stretching out his little head next to the door to look inside, and the stupid pillar was too tired to speak, so he could only wait for his sister to find him and come over by himself

He Yushui's glasses turned around in the back kitchen and saw his brother sitting on the chair jumping in, "Brother, why don't you get off work today, I'm waiting for you outside, I'm hungry" Silly Zhu heard his sister's words, and only then did he think that he was patronizing and cooking, and forgot to tell his sister that he needed to work overtime today

Silly Zhu and his sister, who had recovered a little strength, hurriedly apologized to her sister and said that she forgot to tell you that you were working overtime tonight, and then got up to get the reserved meal for her sister

After the two brothers and sisters finished eating, they happened to see Secretary Chen come into the back kitchen, "Master He, it's hard work, the leader said it's too late, you can get off work first, and the rest will be cleaned up tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Sister Wang and Lao Ji, the two brothers and sisters left the back kitchen, and at this time it was already more than 7 o'clock, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Listening to my sister talking to myself about the happy things I encountered today, the two brothers and sisters also walked on the road paved with moonlight

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day before the 29th Chinese New Year's Eve of the lunar month, a few days ago, the rolling mill gave everyone New Year's benefits, not more than two pounds of pork and some cloth, and the silly pillar could not make clothes, so he sold these cloths cheaply to Sister Wang, and asked her to make clothes for the children for the New Year

Yan Bugui heard that the rolling mill also sent cloth, and that night he deliberately found the stupid pillar and wanted to ask him for some cloth, of course the stupid pillar refused, Yan Bugui didn't even mention the money, this is to see that his sister is still young, a man thinks that his family can't use it, so he plans to prostitute in vain, and the angry Yan Bugui called out outside the door that he is not a son

The rolling mill will have a holiday after the last day of today, and Lou Bancheng also specially found He Yuzhu at noon today and asked him if he could come to his house tomorrow afternoon to cook himself a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the silly pillar thought that he would have nothing to do tomorrow so he agreed to Lou Bancheng's request

Today is also the day of receiving wages a year ago, the factory decided to pay everyone in advance the salary of the previous month, so that everyone can have a good year, the stupid pillar has also worked for nearly 20 days, you can also go to receive a salary, looking at the long queue of the financial department, the silly pillar also came to his own department to receive the salary team, the rolling mill has a total of four teams of wages, the workshop is divided into 3 teams, and the rest of the people are divided into one, the rolling mill is now 5000 people, of which more than 3000 people are working in the workshop, and the logistics and other departments add up to only 1000 people

After lining up to himself, he reported his name, and then took his own salary and found that there was 350,000, and asked the person in the finance office with a puzzled face: "Is my salary wrong, how did I pay 350,000 yuan after I have only worked for 18 days?"

"That's right, your salary is Lou Dongding's departure, and it is also his private account, Lou Dong said Master He, you have worked hard to study, so you will be calculated according to the full month, and the other 50,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan is your overtime pay during this time, and 20,000 yuan is a bonus," the female comrade who paid the salary in the financial department looked at the puzzled He Yuzhu and explained casually

Zhou Huai'an, who is also in the canteen behind the stupid pillar, looked envious after hearing He Yuzhu's salary, he is 5 years older than Master He, only 225,000 per month, but he didn't expect that the stupid pillar who came for a month was 350,000, and the stupid pillar didn't say anything after hearing the explanation, and turned around and left after loading the salary

The first month's salary is in hand, and Silly Zhu thinks about taking his sister to the market to buy New Year's vegetables after work, and then what else needs to be bought

Soon, all the people in the canteen knew that Silly Zhu had 300,000 every month, and there was 350,000 this month, and Master Yang, who currently had the highest salary in the canteen, was only 42.5 per month, but I didn't expect that Silly Zhu, a 16-year-old little doll, had a salary similar to Master Yang, and Master Yang's 42.5 and 20,000 yuan were subsidized by the squad leader, and Master Yang and Silly Zhu's father He Daqing were 2 years old, and they were already 40 years old, but everyone immediately thought of Master He's craftsmanship, and no one here compared, so they felt that Silly Zhu's salary was taken for granted

After work, Silly Zhu took his sister to the direction of the market, brother and sister 2 This year is the first time that only 2 people celebrate the New Year, they are not very clear what to buy, can only go to the place to see, Silly Zhu bought some millet and white noodles, a few days ago Lou Bancheng specially sent himself a bag of rice that does not need to be bought, and also bought some beef and fish, last night Lou Bancheng let himself make Tan family dishes and left some abalone and shark fin, and some bits and pieces such as winter shoots, dried scallops, mushrooms, tomorrow night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner does not need to buy any special dishes, you can prepare a few dishes at home, and it is a waste to make too many with only 2 people

Silly Zhu specially bought some small firecrackers and fireworks for He Yushui, and He Yushui's mouth was not closed until he went home, and after putting down the things in his hand, He Yushui immediately went out to show off with his friends

Silly Zhu was ready to burn the pot and fry some meatballs, but when he was halfway through, he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to come to the door, Silly Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai in front of him and was powerless to complain in his heart, this Yi Zhonghai had nothing to do during this time, and he kept running to his house and every time he was happy, every time he said that if he was in difficulty, he just told him that he could help, and he had never seen an old thing, so he was afraid to send a nest to his family, otherwise he would not be so unkind to him

"Silly Zhu, how about we spend the Chinese New Year together, it just so happens that your father is not here this year, just your two brothers and sisters" Yi Zhonghai looked at Silly Zhu with a sincere face

"Uncle Yi, I don't know which families are together," Silly Zhu did not refuse immediately, but first asked Yi Zhonghai who was with him for the New Year

"Jia's family, our family still has a deaf old lady in the backyard" Yi Zhonghai said after listening to the stupid pillar's question, and then added: "The life of the mother and son of the Jia family is not easy, Dongxu alone earns only 180,000 5 a month, the deaf old lady is alone, how good is it for our four families to celebrate the New Year."

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Silly Zhu wanted to drive people directly, but the old shrew of the Jia family was annoyed by anyone who saw it, one mouth could choke people to death, and it was strange that they could take things together for the New Year and that they were more expensive than Yan Bu. But he didn't directly refuse, he thought about it and raised his head, "Uncle Yi doesn't know how many of our families need to come up with something for the New Year."
