Chapter 15 Reception of Great Leaders
This whole hospital meeting also ended with the farce of Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai, Silly Zhu happily carried a small bench back home, looked at the table below It was already half past eight, the master and sister had already rested, and Silly Zhu also began his daily practice
In the following days, Silly Zhu was still the same as before, going to work in the rolling mill every day, reciting medical books in his free time at work, and teaching apprentices at night after work
Soon the time came to November, at noon this day, Silly Zhu was resting in the back kitchen after making a reception meal, and was about to take a nap, when Sister Wang walked in, "Master He, someone is looking outside"
Silly Zhu walked out of the back kitchen and saw Yi Zhonghai at the door now, and frowned, "Why did Yi Zhonghai come to find himself, wouldn't he let himself be selfless again?"
"Uncle Yi, what are you looking for me" The honorific is not needed, and he asks directly
"Silly Zhu, tomorrow your brother Jia Dongxu will get married, and tomorrow I will help make the next banquet" Silly Zhu originally wanted to refuse directly when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he refused directly, and I was afraid that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang's family would go directly to their door in the evening
"Uncle Yi doesn't know how many tables the Jia family has prepared and how many people have been invited" Silly Zhu wanted to directly withdraw money to make Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family retreat
"In our compound, one family, plus the bride's family, and a few uncles from the Jia family, add up to less than 40 people"
After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Silly Zhu pondered "4 tables", and after thinking about it, he decided to take over the banquet of the Jia family, "Uncle Yi, if there are 40 people, it is almost 4 tables, and it depends on whether the Jia family needs to prepare an extra table, so they are all neighbors, you give me 30,000 yuan and I will help you do it, if you want to make 5 tables, I will also be at this price, and I will not overcharge the Jia family."
Yi Zhonghai saw that Silly Zhu agreed to do it, but he wanted to collect the money, and he was no longer entangled in his heart, nodded, and finalized it at noon tomorrow, and rushed back to the courtyard to let Jia Zhang's pay for it
At noon the next day, there was no reception, and Silly Zhu didn't have to hurry, at 10 o'clock he said to Director Tang, and walked towards the courtyard with his lunch box
Silly Zhu looked at the dishes prepared by the Jia family and was directly stunned, good guy cabbage, radish, potatoes, and even some radishes are still rotten, just a few catties of pork, isn't this embarrassing for himself
Soon the banquet began, and everyone didn't react when they saw the dishes on the table, did they pay to attend the wedding banquet or cook at home, and they didn't know who took the lead, and they all shouted to return the money. Yi Zhonghai was also a little stunned when he saw the dishes on the table, didn't this Jia Zhang tell him to buy vegetables, how are they all cabbage and radish, and the only meat dish is still cabbage stew
Qin Huairu finally got his wish and married to the courtyard, although the wedding banquet was a little shabby, Qin Huairu was still very satisfied as a whole, and Xu Damao and the others were clamoring to make trouble in the cave room that night, but they still did not get their wish in Jia Zhang's scolding
Early the next morning, after Silly Zhu got up and finished making breakfast, he went out and saw Qin Huairu washing by the pool, but Silly Zhu didn't plan to say hello to her, just washed himself, but at this time Qin Huairu greeted first: "Master He, good morning, thank you for the dishes you made for our family yesterday" As if yesterday's incident did not happen, but Silly Zhu would not stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, so he had to politely reply
It has been nearly 3 months since the Jia family got married, and the rolling mill has also entered the countdown to the Spring Festival, Uncle Wang told himself some time ago that Lou Bancheng will retire next year, and he can be hired at exactly 18 next year, but he doesn't know whether he wants to be an apprentice, and the salary of more than a year plus extra money has also saved hundreds of yuan, if he really becomes an apprentice, the salary of 180,000 5 is barely enough to eat at home, but he can also take on private work
Silly Zhu suddenly felt that he was a little worried, and there was no way to get to that point, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that he had gained some fame by working in the rolling mill this year, and it was a big deal to change jobs when the time came
As soon as I arrived at the door of the canteen this morning, I saw Director Tang standing at the door of the canteen, and Director Tang looked a little hurried after seeing the stupid pillar coming
"Pillar, get ready, there will be a reception at noon, I heard the leader above say that this time the identity is not simple, it seems to be the leader of the superior department in charge of our rolling mill"
The leader of the higher-level department, the first thing that Silly Zhu thought of was the leader of the Industrial Bureau. But after thinking about it, it shouldn't be, after all, the leaders of the Industrial Bureau often come to the rolling mill. Is it the Great Leader? Silly Zhu remembers that he has known the big leader for 65 years, and he was recommended by the leaders of the Industrial Bureau to cook at the big leader's house
Director Tang looked at the stupid pillar with an indifferent look, he was angry, and scolded a few words, and finally got angry, "You kid hurry up and write me a menu, I want people to prepare to buy vegetables, it said that a reception must come out of the highest specifications of our factory, and the leaders who came this time and accompanied a total of 6 people, plus Secretary Liang and Director Wang, 8 people, prepare 10 dishes and a soup, I heard that people like Sichuan cuisine"
Director Tang left in a hurry with the menu given by the stupid pillar, the people in the canteen were cleaning, this is the notice of the whole factory just released this morning, not only the canteen is cleaning, even the workshop has been suspended, all the staff are cleaning, the stupid pillar saw that everyone was busy and embarrassed to sit, picked up a rag and joined the cleaning team, the stupid pillar added a dish of sauerkraut fish that no one has developed in the menu just now, this dish was popularized in Chongqing at the end of the 80s, and it should be regarded as plagiarism
With the busyness of the crowd, soon the canteen will be new, the canteen of the rolling mill in the past can not be said, dirty and messy is the norm, the public leaders rarely care, naturally no one to clean, this time if there is not a leader to visit, the health of the canteen will definitely not be supervised and cleaned
At nine o'clock, Director Tang carried a vegetable basket and woven bags in both hands, and it seemed that he should have gone directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy vegetables, including cucumbers, tomatoes, an old hen and duck, a fish, and beef
At this time, the others also began to prepare the noon meal, called Lao Ji and Sister Wang, and the three of them began to clean up the dishes they had just delivered, and Silly Zhu also specially asked Director Tang to go to the warehouse to carry a bucket of new oil, and the sauerkraut was brought back to the courtyard by Silly Zhu, but it was still early to kill chickens and ducks, and other dishes would be processed
When it was almost 11 o'clock, Director Tang came over to let him start cooking, and the leaders would come to inspect the canteen, and after reading it, he went directly to the private room to eat, and the stupid pillar got up unhurriedly to prepare to cook, the dishes prepared by the stupid pillar today are all Sichuan cuisine, and the big leaders like to eat Sichuan food, and the memory is that Director Wang and Director Yang of the Industrial Bureau recommended themselves to go to the big leader's house to cook, and he was also a frequent visitor to the canteen of the rolling mill in the 60s.
Sister Wang will be fine, Director Tang asked Sister Wang to go to the door to watch the wind, and when the leaders came, everyone would save some people from being seen by the leaders when they were lazy, and Director Tang stayed in the canteen to supervise everyone's work
Sister Wang hurriedly ran over, "Director, director, hurry up and the leaders are here" Director Tang heard Sister Wang's words and hurriedly asked everyone to steam the wotou's steamed wotou, and the stir-fried vegetables. Soon a group of seven or eight people came over, talking about this while walking, led by the appearance of the big leader in his memory, but now he is younger, accompanied by Secretary Liang and the new factory director
The big leader and others took a turn in the cafeteria, and then Secretary Liang said, "Leader, we have a master in the canteen, and the Sichuan and Lu dishes are very good, do you want to taste them later?"
The big leader heard that there was a master of Sichuan cuisine, and he originally wanted to refuse, but there are really not many authentic Sichuan dishes that have been eaten by BJ for so many years, although Emei Hotel and Hongbin Building and other places can also be made, but his identity is not too much to go to that kind of place, after thinking about it, he nodded to Secretary Liang
"Then how about trying the big pot dishes in your canteen first, and then trying this master's Sichuan cuisine?" After speaking, I saw the people who accompanied me
Of course, the others would not have an opinion, and after seeing that several people nodded in agreement, they didn't say anything, and the group walked towards the private room under the guidance of Secretary Liang
Soon Secretary Liang's secretary asked Director Tang to send some big pot dishes to the private room first, and wait for the meeting to notify when the meal will start, Director Tang heard it and immediately asked Lao Ji and Sister Wang to prepare the big pot dishes, only to see the three of them walking towards the private room with a few bowls of big pot dishes, as for the leaders' evaluation of the big pot dishes, the stupid pillar is not clear
It didn't take long to see Secretary Liang's secretary, Secretary Jin, trotting over, "Director Tang, Master He, the leaders said that it was time to serve" After speaking, he turned around and waited in the private room without waiting for everyone's reaction
Silly Zhu asked Sister Wang to serve a cold dish prepared first, and then opened the fire to fry a fried green vegetable first, as the fragrance emanated, soon this dish was brought to the private room by Sister Wang, and then Kung Pao chicken, back to the pot meat, fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu, Dongpo elbow, wolf tooth potato, Silly Zhu made an extra dish of Taibai duck today, and it was already more than 12 o'clock when Silly Zhu caused the last sauerkraut fish
The people in the private room were brought up one by one during the conversation, looking at the familiar dishes on the table, the big leader was a little happy in his heart, he knew his own affairs, although he was not short of money every month, but he loved to eat Sichuan food, but now the materials are still very scarce.
The life of these people is not particularly good, and the wages and subsidies are basically sent to the hometown of the former sacrificed comrades-in-arms, although the quality of life is better than that of ordinary families, but you can't eat whatever you want, and the chef in the family is just an ordinary cook, you let him cook home-cooked food, Sichuan cuisine is indeed a little difficult for him
The big leader didn't care too much when he saw that everyone didn't move the chopsticks, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of back to the pot meat, chewed it in his mouth, and found that the taste was the same as what he remembered in Sichuan
"Well, the taste is very good, it seems that the chef of your factory is very good at cooking, come, eat together, don't look at me" After hearing the big leader's words, everyone also joined in the food, and when the sauerkraut fish was served, the big leader looked at the dish and found that he didn't know what the dish was called, and then asked Sister Wang who wanted to serve the dish
"This lesbian, what is this dish called"
Sister Wang was a little flustered when she heard such a big leader ask herself, and she didn't answer for the first time, after Secretary Liang saw Sister Wang's reaction
"If the leader asks you to say it, you can say it, you don't need to be divisive"
Sister Wang also realized her gaffe when she heard Secretary Liang's words, and immediately said embarrassedly: "This dish is made by our Master He himself, and Master He said that it is called sauerkraut fish."
Hearing that the chef of the rolling mill made it himself, the big leader was also a little surprised, the chef of the rolling mill actually made a new dish by himself, not simple, this master, I also had the idea of meeting this master in my heart, but I was not in a hurry, and I would talk about it after eating
First picked up a spoon and put a spoonful of sauerkraut fish soup, the soup tasted sour and spicy, and this is sauerkraut, the taste is not at all different from the fish I used to eat
When the people had almost eaten, Secretary Liang said first: "Leader, you may not think that the master of our factory canteen is only 17 years old this year and will be 18 years old next year." Hearing Secretary Liang's words, everyone present was shocked, the master of the cooking was so small, just now when he and others ate this delicious meal, they thought it was a master who had been immersed in cooking for decades, and the big leader heard Secretary Liang's words It was also very novel, I didn't expect that the master who made such authentic Sichuan cuisine was not yet 18 years old, and immediately said to Secretary Liang that he wanted to see this master, Secretary Liang nodded to Secretary Jin on the side
Secretary Jin hurriedly ran to the back kitchen at this time: "Master He, don't rest yet, the leaders want to see you, come with me" After speaking, he pulled He Yuzhu to the private room
In the private room, Secretary Liang explained to the big leader the past of He Yuzhu and the reason for coming to the rolling mill, and the big leader heard that the master's father ran away and came to the rolling mill alone to find the leader to work in advance in order to support his sister, and he did not dislike Lou Bancheng's approach, so he would find a way to leave people behind, and then thought of something and asked Secretary Liang
Secretary Liang also had a headache after hearing the leader's question, this Master He will be 18 years old next year, and he can go through the entry procedures, but according to the normal procedure requirements, he still needs to start as an apprentice, but Lou Bancheng has raised He Yuzhu's salary twice this year, and now he has 450,000 a month, so that no one will be happy to take 180,000 yuan for joining next year, but he is not willing to let himself violate the principle
The big leader was not curious after seeing Secretary Liang's hesitation, after all, Secretary Liang is also an upright person, let him take the lead in violating factory rules and discipline, and the soldiers under him will not be easy to bring, and immediately decided to do special things for Secretary Liang, and made an exception for He Yuzhu's matter, and Secretary Liang was also relieved to hear the words of the leader, and he was unwilling to let people go, and he was unwilling to take the lead in violating discipline
After He Yuzhu came to the box, the food on the table had been emptied, and seeing the familiar faces in his memory, Silly Zhu's performance was very calm, "Master He, I heard that you are only 17 years old this year, and we are all curious about how you practice your cooking skills."
"My father learned Lu cuisine in the early years, the family tradition is Tan family cuisine, I began to learn to cook with my father when I was young, and then when I was 13 years old, my father sent me to Emei restaurant to learn Sichuan cuisine, I have been learning to cook for more than ten years" Silly Zhu looked at the leader of a room and explained calmly, hearing that this master had been learning cooking for more than ten years at the age of 18, but then realized that people are also family cooking
"Master He, your dishes are very good, you are really a hero out of a young man!" The big leader looked at the young man with some emotion, maybe he was also lamenting that he was getting older, one of them whispered something to Secretary Liang, Secretary Liang also hesitated a little after hearing it, and then nodded
At this time, one of them said in the ear of the big leader, and the big leader looked at the stupid pillar after hearing it, and said that it is best to come, and don't blame others if you can't come. The man nodded when he heard the words of the big leader, and he didn't say anything
