Chapter 65 Daily life in the cafeteria
The next day, after He Yuzhu sent away the rainwater, he went to the city bureau cafeteria.
As soon as he entered the canteen, He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see many people eating. Does the city bureau cafeteria still take care of breakfast?
He Yuzhu came to the small kitchen at the back and saw that Master Huang hadn't come yet and there was no one else in the kitchen, so he found a stool to sit down and rest.
After waiting for more than an hour, Master Huang and others arrived one after another.
He Yuzhu stood up and greeted Master Huang: "Master Huang."
Master Huang: "Zhuzi, how long have you been here? Didn't I tell you yesterday that you didn't have to come so early?"
He Yuzhu touched his head: "No one told me?"
Master Huang patted his thigh: "Hey, I thought the director told you yesterday."
"It's like this. We are only responsible for the small kitchen. We don't open the fire in the morning and only cook lunch and dinner. We don't have to come so early in the morning.
Also, there is Master Song Cheng in our small kitchen who has not been here these days because he has something to do at home. He will come back in a few days. After I leave, you two will be responsible.
Because there are no rest days in the city bureau, so if you want to take a break, the two of you can coordinate. I also usually support the large kitchen. "
He Yuzhu: "Okay, Master Huang. I understand."
Master Huang: "It's almost time. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the work process."
Master Huang took He Yuzhu and the two helpers to the canteen warehouse: "I come to the warehouse every day to get the ingredients. In fact, the warehouse will prepare them every day. It doesn't matter if we don't come, the helpers can just take them back."
"Old Huang, why did you come to the warehouse in person today?" An older warehouse manager greeted Master Huang.
"Isn't this a new guy? I'll take him to familiarize himself with the process." Master Huang brought He Yuzhu to the door of the warehouse. "This is the new one, He Yuzhu, Master He, who takes over from me. This is Liu Wei, the warehouse management team leader."
He Yuzhu took out the big front door he bought before and spread cigarettes for Master Huang and Lao Liu: "Team Leader Liu, please take care of them in the future."
Lao Liu: "Master He, right? Don't call me team leader, it sounds awkward. Just call me Lao Liu. We will have to deal with each other in the future."
"Isn't this good? How about I call you Uncle Liu?"
Master Huang: "Zhuzi, just call him Lao Liu. Lao Liu, just call him Zhuzi. It sounds friendly."
Old Liu smiled and said: "That's good. We all listen to Old Huang. Zhuzhu."
He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll call you Lao Liu from now on."
While they were talking, the chef had already brought out the dishes. He Yuzhu and Master Huang said goodbye to Lao Liu and returned to the small kitchen.
Master Huang: "After you get the food back, you can see what kind of food you want to make according to the situation, and let them clean and process the ingredients according to your requirements. Look at today's ingredients, what should we do at noon?"
He Yuzhu looked at the ingredients he had brought back. There were three large catfish, a large piece of pork ribs, tofu, cabbage and potatoes: "How about these three dishes: catfish stewed with tofu, braised pork ribs and potatoes, and vinegar cabbage?"
Master Huang: "Okay, let's make these three dishes."
At noon, Master Huang watched He Yuzhu skillfully slaughter the fish and process the ingredients. Not long after, all three dishes were ready.
Not long after, the bureau leaders came to the private room to eat and expressed satisfaction with the food cooked today.
After all the bureau leaders finished eating, Master Huang said to He Yuzhu: "Okay, it's time for us to eat. After eating, we can take a rest. You can go home to rest if you are close to your home, but there must be someone on duty. "
After He Yuzhu finished eating, he stayed on duty. After making tea, I found a corner, sat down, took out Romance of the Three Kingdoms and continued reading.
Time also flew by quickly. Before long, it was time to prepare dinner.
Master Huang: "We only need to prepare dinner for the leaders on duty in the evening. If there are receptions or other situations, the director will notify us in advance."
He Yuzhu: "Okay, I understand."
Dinner was handled easily.
Master Huang: "Okay, you can get off work."
He Yuzhu picked up his backpack and said goodbye to Master Huang, then went to Master Huang's house to pick up Yu Yu and go home.
In a few days, He Yuzhu also figured out the work in the canteen and became able to handle it with ease.
As soon as He Yuzhu arrived in the morning, the director of the cafeteria came over and said, "Zhuzi, the director will entertain his comrades in the cafeteria tonight. You can cook it tonight and the ingredients will be delivered shortly."
He Yuzhu: "Okay director."
Not long after, Zhao Sheng, the director of the cafeteria, delivered a lot of ingredients.
He Yuzhu took a look and saw that it was quite rich. There are chickens, fish, meat, and a big pig's head.
Zhao Sheng: "How's it going, Zhuzhu? If you need anything else, just ask."
He Yuzhu: "How many people are there tonight? Do you have any taboos or favorite flavors?"
Zhao Sheng: "Including the director, there are five people tonight. They have all been soldiers. There should be no taboos."
He Yuzhu: "That's okay, I'll just take care of it."
After seeing off Director Zhao, He Yuzhu began to pack the ingredients.
Director Liu and his comrades arrived in the evening. Zhao Sheng came to the kitchen to inform He Yuzhu that the food was ready to be served: "Zhuzhu, are you ready? Everyone is here."
He Yuzhu: "It's ready already. Let's serve."
Director Zhao began to bring the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu into the private room one by one.
Director Liu's comrade-in-arms, a Yangzhou native, looked at the roasted whole pig head, lion head and squirrel mandarin fish on the table and tasted them one by one: "Old Liu, where did you hire the master chef in your canteen? This Huaiyang cuisine is really good." Authentic.”
Director Liu: "Our master chef is not only good at Huaiyang cuisine, but also better Sichuan cuisine. Come and try this Mapo Tofu. It is no worse than the chefs in the restaurant."
"Really? Then I have to taste it." A comrade with a slight Sichuan accent picked up a spoon, took a spoonful, and ate it in his mouth.
Director Liu: "How is it? Authentic, right?"
The comrade with a Sichuan accent gave Director Liu a thumbs up. : "Old Liu, didn't you invite the Sichuan chef from Fengzeyuan?"
Director Liu showed off happily: "No, how is it possible, but it's almost the same."
"How?" Others looked curious.
Director Liu: "This master chef learned from Master Fan, the Sichuan cuisine chef of Fengzeyuan."
Comrade in Yangzhou: "That's not right. Who made this Huaiyang cuisine?"
Director Liu: "It was also made by this master chef. Not only is he good at Sichuan and Huaiyang cuisine, he is also proficient in Shandong cuisine and Tan cuisine."
Comrade from Yangzhou: "Old Liu, how did you invite me here? With this skill, which restaurant wouldn't rush for it? Why would I come to your canteen?"
Director Liu: "You don't know this, right? Deputy Director Zhou of our bureau is related to his master, and it took a lot of effort to invite him here."
Others began to clamor to see the master.
Director Liu couldn't shirk it and had to ask Zhao Sheng to invite He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu came to the private room: "Director, you are looking for me. Is there anything wrong with the food?"
Director Liu: "No, the food is quite good. It's my comrades who want to meet you, the chef."
Director Liu's comrades were very surprised to see He Yuzhu so young.
Comrade in Yangzhou: "Little comrade, who did you learn this Huaiyang cuisine from?"
He Yuzhu: "I taught myself."
Comrade-in-arms in Yangzhou: "Do you want to go to Yangzhou and see it?"
Director Liu: "What do you mean, are you going to poach me?"
Comrade in Yangzhou: "No, I just want this master to go to Yangzhou for exchanges."
Director Liu: "Go away, don't try to poach people, it's impossible."
Comrade from Yangzhou: "We also have to respect the opinions of the parties involved, right? You think so, this master."
He Yuzhu: "Sorry, I'm not going to change places."
Director Liu: "You heard me, don't make any mistakes. Zhuzi, it's getting late, you should go back first, there is no need to add food."
He Yuzhu: "Okay, Director."
