Chapter 64 Cooking in the Municipal Bureau Canteen
During lunch time, Zhou Jianye followed Uncle Zhou to the private room where the city bureau leaders ate.
Zhou Jianye: "Dad, sit down and I'll go see what the pillars are made of?"
Uncle Zhou waved his hand to signal Zhou Jianye to get out of here and stop being an eyesore.
Zhou Jianye came to the window specially used to prepare meals for city bureau leaders, and shouted inside: "Zhuzi."
He Yuzhu heard the shouting and came to the meal window and saw Zhou Jianye: "Why are you still here? Haven't you gone back?"
When Zhou Jianye heard what He Yuzhu said, he immediately responded: "You are trying to burn bridges across the river. Don't forget that I was the one who brought you here. You are ungrateful."
He Yuzhu: "Why am I so ungrateful? Don't I care about you? You, a director, don't stay in your own office and go slack off under the nose of the city bureau leader. Do you still want to be promoted?"
Zhou Jianye: "Okay, I don't agree with you. Make me some food first. Which dishes did you cook today?"
He Yuzhu pointed to Mapo tofu, Dongpo pork and vinegar cabbage and said, "I made these dishes."
"Then give me two of the same."
He Yuzhu followed his instructions and gave Zhou Jianye two meals and handed them over.
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'm going to eat first. After that, I'll go back to the office."
"Go to my master's house in the evening. I will prepare a big meal to celebrate."
"Okay, there's a big dinner, I definitely can't miss it."
Zhou Jianye said goodbye to He Yuzhu and left with lunch.
"Dad, try Zhu Zhu's craftsmanship." Zhou Jianye placed a lunch in front of Uncle Zhou.
Uncle Zhou picked up the chopsticks, took a few bites of the food, and tasted it: "Well, it tastes very good, delicious."
At this time, Director Liu and Political Commissar Wang also came in with lunch and sat next to Uncle Zhou.
Director Liu: "Old Zhou, what's delicious?"
When Zhou Jianye saw Director Liu and Political Commissar Wang, he stood up and said hello: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Wang."
Director Liu: "Xiao Zhou is here, sit down and eat."
Uncle Zhou: "The food for lunch today is very good, you can try it."
Director Liu and Political Commissar Wang heard this and picked up their chopsticks to pick up the food and taste it.
Director Liu: "Well, the dish was really good today. Lao Huang's skills have improved a lot."
Uncle Zhou smiled and said nothing.
Political Commissar Wang: "This should not be made by Lao Huang. Lao Zhou, is this your new cook?"
Uncle Zhou: "Yes, I just joined the job this morning. How is the chef's skills? It may suit the two of you."
Political Commissar Wang: "The craftsmanship is good, better than that of Lao Huang. It is not easy to find a good cook to work in the canteen nowadays. Where did you find him?"
Uncle Zhou: "To tell you the truth, this is a junior of mine, a close disciple of my in-laws. He has the true inheritance of my in-laws, and he is also proficient in Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine."
Political Commissar Wang: "So powerful? Then our city bureau has found a treasure. Call me over to see you."
"I'll call him." Zhou Jianye stood up and went to find He Yuzhu.
Zhou Jianye came to the kitchen door and shouted inside: "Zhuzi."
He Yuzhu heard the shouting and came to the kitchen door: "Aren't you going back to the house after eating? Why do you want to trouble me?"
Zhou Jianye: "Hurry and follow me. Several leaders want to see you."
He Yuzhu: "Wait for me, I'll put down my apron."
"Hurry up, you can still make the leader wait for you."
He Yuzhu put down his apron and followed Zhou Jianye to the private room where the leaders were dining.
When Uncle Zhou saw He Yuzhu and Zhou Jianye coming in together, he greeted He Yuzhu: "Zhuzhu, come, let me introduce you. This is Director Liu, and this is Political Commissar Wang."
When He Yuzhu heard that it was the bureau leader, he immediately said hello: "Hello, Director Liu, and Political Commissar Wang."
Director Liu and Political Commissar Wang were very surprised when they saw He Yuzhu: "So young?"
Uncle Zhou: "Although Zhu Zhu is young, he is already a national level three chef."
Political Commissar Wang: "Zhuzi, right? Work hard and the bureau will not treat you badly. If you need anything, just ask. If you can satisfy it, you will definitely be satisfied."
He Yuzhu: "Thank you, political commissar. Since I'm here, I will definitely do a good job."
Uncle Zhou: "Okay, Zhuzi, go and do your work. If you need anything, just come to me."
He Yuzhu left the private room after hearing this.
Director Liu: "Old Zhou, is it not easy to invite him here?"
Uncle Zhou: "That's right. I tried hard to convince my in-laws to agree, so I invited them here. I need you to take good care of me in the future."
Zhou Jianye listened to his father's nonsense and couldn't expose it. I could only quickly take a few bites of rice to cover up my embarrassment.
Director Liu: "It's easy to say, just for this craft, you need to take more care of it."
The lunch cooked by He Yuzhu at noon completely conquered the leaders of the municipal bureau.
In the afternoon, He Yuzhu received a notice from the canteen director Zhao Sheng: "You can go back and prepare in the afternoon and officially come to work tomorrow."
He Yuzhu said hello to Master Huang in the cafeteria and left.
In the afternoon, He Yuzhu came to his master's house and told his wife that he had joined the city bureau cafeteria today.
"Zhuzi, Master Niang knows that with your craftsmanship, there will be no problem."
The mistress was also happy for He Yuzhu. After all, He Yuzhu had a good and serious job.
"Master's wife, I will go out to buy groceries in a moment and make a big dinner to celebrate tonight."
"Okay, it's up to you today."
"Okay, I'll prepare the ingredients."
After saying that, He Yuzhu left on his bicycle.
He Yuzhu returned home and sat at his desk, thinking about what to eat for dinner.
The weather is so cold, hot pot is the best thing to eat. And it’s lively when there are many people eating together.
Since you have decided to eat hot pot, mutton and beef are indispensable, as well as fish balls, shrimp paste, and all kinds of meatballs.
Fish balls and other meatballs can only be made in the space. He Yuzhu ducked into the kitchen in the space.
Made beef balls, pissed beef balls, fish balls, shrimp paste, etc.
After finishing, I took out some beef, mutton and vegetables from the space.
With these things, He Yuzhu returned to his master's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he said to his wife: "Master's wife, it's cold now, let's have hot pot tonight."
"Okay, this weather is good for hot pot."
In the evening, people who went to school and went to work came back one after another. Seeing the hot pot prepared by He Yuzhu, both the adults and Yu Yu liked it very much.
Fan Dakang: "Come, let's raise a toast together and congratulate Zhu Zhu on his successful entry into the city bureau cafeteria today."
Everyone raised their glasses together: "Cheers!"
Hotpot requires crowds to make it lively and delicious.
The dinner ended with a lot of fun and fun.
Senior sister Fan Ting and junior wife are responsible for clearing the table and dishes.
Master Fan Dakang, He Yuzhu and Zhou Jianye sat together and chatted as usual.
Zhou Jianye: "Zhuzi, my dad asked me to tell you that in the city bureau from now on, we won't cause trouble, but we won't be afraid of it either."
He Yuzhu: "Go back and thank uncle for me."
Zhou Jianye: "It's okay, we don't speak the same language as one family. Besides, today you have made some face for my dad."
Everyone had to go to work tomorrow. After Master and the others had cleared away the dishes, Zhou Jianye and He Yuzhu stopped chatting, said goodbye to Master and Master, and left.
