Siheyuan: Started from a blind date and being cut off

After taking stock of the ingredients and combining the characteristics of the dining leader's hometown, Li Ye quickly decided on what dish to cook.

The first dish was braised lion head. Li Ye asked Ma Hua to chop the fat and lean meat, mushrooms and other ingredients into pieces.

This kind of work without much technical content can be left to MCA to help handle it.

Ma Hua's whole body became excited. Although he was doing some very simple and marginal work, it was a small job for the leader, and the meaning was different.

He was an apprentice to He Yuzhu and had his own business cooking big pot dishes.

I opened a small window for the leader and guarded him at all times, for fear that he would learn the essence of Tan's cuisine.

Li Ye is completely different, completely undefended.

Not only did Li Ye not guard against him, but after he finished simple tasks such as washing vegetables and mincing meat, Li Ye asked him to stand aside and watch carefully.

Tell him all the details about the significance of a certain step in making a certain dish and why it must be done.

MCA has benefited a lot and has a feeling of enlightenment. Many doubts that were half-understood before can be answered by Li Ye.

Ma Hua studied hard on the side, and when the food was ready, he was responsible for serving food to the leaders who were eating in the reception room of the canteen.

"Here comes the braised lion's head."

MCA served the leaders two dishes first: braised lion's head and steamed fish.

"Leader Liu, Director Zhang, let's get started. The dishes will be served one after another. Let's chat while eating."

Factory Director Yang, as the host, called on everyone to get started.

Xu Damao, who had just finished watching the movie, had the opportunity to go to the table and have a drink with the leader.

In fact, he is just a tool man, very eloquent and good at flattering, so Director Yang and Li Changming asked him to come and drink with them.

When leaders and directors from other factories come as guests, they must have a great time drinking.

It would be inappropriate for Director Yang and Li Changming to toast desperately. It would be too embarrassing if something ridiculous happens when they are drunk?

They are people of status and want to save face.

Just leave the job of drinking with the boss to a tool like Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's performance did not disappoint Director Yang and Li Changming. He picked up a bottle of wine, unscrewed the lid skillfully, poured wine into the leader's glass, and flattered him extremely: "I can talk to all the leaders today."

Drinking at the same table, I, Xu Damao, have been lucky for three lifetimes, which is the blessing I cultivated in my previous life.

I, Xu Damao, make a toast and pay attention to the rules. One big, three small, two, five, ten.

What is leadership here? Leadership is God!

The leader drinks one drink, and the junior boss drinks three drinks."

Xu Damao usually shows movies to people, and he needs to explain the movie during the movie, conveying the main theme of the movie and the correct values ​​​​expressed to the audience.

Several years of working as a movie projectionist allowed Xu Damao to develop a good eloquence, and his flattery really touched the hearts of the leaders.

The leaders were very happy because Xu Damao's goal had been achieved and they helped Factory Director Yang and Li Changming share the firepower.

Next, he served most of the drinks, and he was responsible for accompanying the leader to have a good drink.

Leader Liu is from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the braised lion's head among the first two dishes was quite to his liking. It is a famous dish in his hometown.

Leader Liu took a small piece of lion head meat and stuffed it into his mouth. It was soft, fat but not greasy, and extremely tender, making people want to eat it without leaving.

"Lao Yang, have you changed the chef? The taste is different from before."

Leader Liu pointed at the delicious braised lion head with his chopsticks and asked curiously.

Factory Director Yang was stunned. He was not a roundworm in Leader Liu's stomach. He couldn't always figure out Leader Liu's thoughts. He thought Leader Liu was not satisfied with the food.

Director Yang couldn't help but feel a little angry. He repeatedly ordered He Yuzhu to cook and open a small stove to entertain the leaders. Why was the chef changed? Leader Liu could even taste the difference.

If the leader is dissatisfied, who gets the blame?

"Oh, boss, you said this, I changed it.

Our factory recently had a Level 6 cook, and I was thinking about letting him show off his skills and bring some different flavors to everyone.

What? Leader, are you not satisfied with today’s meal?

It doesn’t matter! I asked the new chef and the previous chef to be responsible for a few dishes each, and just switch back."

Li Changming is an old man, and he said this very skillfully.

First, he raised Li Ye's level as an eighth-level cook.

Because the identity of Leader Liu has to be taken into consideration, it would be a bit disrespectful to replace the chef with a new eighth-level cook.

Because level six cooks are the highest level in the factory.

What Li Changming meant was that he asked a new chef at the highest level in the factory to specially arrange some new dishes for Leader Liu, just to let Leader Liu try something new. Is that attentive enough?

Later, it was mentioned that the old chef He Yuzhu who used to run Xiaozao was also there. If Leader Liu didn't like the food cooked by this new chef, he would just change it back.

Li Changming's answer to Leader Liu can be described as watertight.

Leader Liu took another small piece of meat from the lion's head and said with satisfaction: "This new chef is great and has real skills.

This braised lion's head is a famous dish of Huaiyang cuisine. To be honest, I haven't eaten such authentic Huaiyang cuisine in many years since I came to Beijing.

This braised lion head is more authentic than the best lion head I had when I was in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Lao Li, the new chef you hired is very good."

Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Leader Liu was not dissatisfied with the food, but was too satisfied with the food.

Li Changming thought about it, and immediately called a young man in, and said to the young man: "Just let Li Ye be responsible for today's dishes, and let He Yuzhu rest."

"Hey! Lao Li, what are you..."

Leader Liu is such a smart person. He immediately understood what Li Changming meant and knew that Li Changming wanted to arrange a table of local dishes for him, but he had to pretend to be so.

After finally tasting such authentic hometown dishes, Leader Liu naturally wanted to let the new chef cook the rest of the dishes, all Huaiyang dishes.

But these words were inappropriate to come out of his mouth.

The people at this table come from all over the world, and it is true that he is the oldest one, but he cannot be so selfish, at least he cannot show his selfishness.

"Boss, aren't you satisfied with the dishes made by this new chef? So I thought, why not let this new chef be responsible for today's dishes.

The old chef has been going back and forth with the different styles, and they are almost done. Let’s try something different today.”

Li Changming is very knowledgeable.

"Hey! Since you said so, Lao Li, then I will listen to you. You and Director Yang are the hosts today, and we are all just guests. The guests follow the host's will."

Leader Liu laughed heartily and was quite satisfied with what Li Changming had done.

…

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu, who had been yelling about going to the toilet before, slowly came back.

He came back at the right time.

At this point, the appetizers arranged by Li Ye have been served, and he comes back for the finale.

He showed off his skills and did some unique skills to ensure the satisfaction of the leader and completely suppressed Li Ye's limelight. He would have to look for him to start a small business in the future.

"Master He, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

When the young man saw He Yuzhu coming back, he immediately went to greet him.

He Yuzhu slowly picked up the enamel cup and took a sip of tea, not in any hurry.

How about it? He said that Li Ye was too young and the water in Xiaozao was too deep for the young man to grasp.

Li Changming's people were waiting for him in the kitchen. The boss must have been dissatisfied with the food Li Ye served, and he had to step in at the critical moment.

"Okay, I'll start work right away. I just felt sick in my stomach and went to the toilet. You can go back. The food will be served soon."

With that said, He Yuzhu put on his apron and got ready to start work.

The young man hesitated for a moment, paused, and said: "Master He, you misunderstood. Deputy Factory Director Li asked me to inform you that you can rest today. Li Ye will take care of all the dishes later."

"What?"

He Yuzhu's eyes were as big as copper bells.

This plot is wrong, why is it different from what he imagined?
