Chapter 111 Entertaining the Meat Factory
He Yuzhu returned home with his things. Song Jinfeng was very happy to see He Yuzhu came back early. At least he didn't have to worry.
"You're back, have you gained anything?" Song Jinfeng asked.
"It's okay. I've gained quite a lot from this trip." He Yuzhu took out the tiger and bear skins and showed them to Song Jinfeng: "Let's take a look, what do you think?"
Song Jinfeng stretched out his hand and touched it. The fur was smooth: "Not bad. Where did you get it?"
"Yushan Village. We also collected two hares. We will make braised hares tonight."
"Is this okay? Don't you stay and hand in the task?"
"It's okay. Let's eat one tonight and hand over the remaining one. Besides, there are still more than thirty eggs."
"Okay. It's up to you."
In the evening, waiting for the rain to return, He Yuzhu personally cooked braised rabbit and some stir-fried vegetables. The family had a wonderful meal.
The next day, He Yuzhu went to the purchasing department and handed in the rabbits and eggs. I didn't stay in the purchasing department for long after that. I just got the money from the accountant and left.
I met Director Zhao of the cafeteria in the yard.
Director Zhao: "Zhuzi, I'm looking for you."
"Director, what do you want from me?"
"Yes, something happened. Don't run out these days. Director Wang is going to invite the comrades from the Meat Factory to have dinner and ask you to prepare a table. Wait for Director Wang to inform you of the specific time." Director Zhao pulled He Yuzhu over. On one side, he said softly.
"That's okay. I have no problem. But you have to say hello to Director Zhou."
"It's okay, Lao Zhou, leave it to me. You are originally from our cafeteria, so just tell him to give him face.
Okay, I'll go find Lao Zhou. If you're fine, go to the cafeteria. "
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
He Yuzhu and Director Zhao parted ways. Director Zhao went to find Director Zhou, the purchasing director, while He Yuzhu went to the canteen.
When I came to the small kitchen, I saw Master Song and others busy preparing lunch. He Yuzhu walked in.
"Hey, what are you cooking for?"
Master Song and the others heard someone talking and looked up to see it was He Yuzhu.
Master Song: "Zhuzi, are you back? Have you seen Director Zhao? He is looking for you?"
"I've seen it before, I just bumped into it."
"Did the director tell you? Is it about inviting the meat factory to dinner?" Master Song pulled He Yuzhu outside the kitchen and each of them lit a cigarette.
"I told you. It seems that the director takes it very seriously."
"Can we not pay attention to it? The meat factory is responsible for the meat. You also know how difficult it is to eat meat now."
"Why haven't you invited me before?"
"I heard that the previous sales director of the meat factory was a comrade of our director Wang. But he has been transferred. I don't know the current sales director, but director Wang just got online. Why don't we treat him to get to know him."
"It really needs to be done carefully so that it won't affect our eating of meat."
While they were busy now, He Yuzhu and Master Song didn't chat any more. They returned to the kitchen, and He Yuzhu also helped. Made lunch.
In the next few days, He Yuzhu went to work in the cafeteria, waiting for Director Zhao to greet him.
Until Saturday, as soon as He Yuzhu went to work, Director Zhao came.
Director Zhao: "Zhuzi, Director Wang's meal is scheduled for tonight. You and Master Song make good preparations and go to the warehouse over in the Purchasing Department to select ingredients. It's up to you two tonight."
He Yuzhu: "Don't worry, director. Master Song and I will select the ingredients soon to ensure that the guests are satisfied."
Director Zhao: "Then I'll leave it to you. I have something else to do, so I'll go do it first."
After Director Zhao left, He Yuzhu and Master Song arranged the work in the kitchen and went to the warehouse of the purchasing department together.
There wasn't much stored in the warehouse, just some pheasants, hares, and some fish.
He Yuzhu: "Yes, no choice. Take it."
Looking at these things, Master Song asked: "Zhuzi, you have been in the Purchasing Department, and the people in the Purchasing Department have only brought back these few things for a while."
He Yuzhu: "That's good. If people don't have enough to eat, what else can you expect to get? There are so many units competing around. Most of the time, you can only get a few eggs. This hare and pheasant can only catch up. Only if you have to get it.”
"That's right. It seems that you still have to rely on the meat factory to eat meat."
"So, we have to make sure everyone eats well tonight."
He Yuzhu and Master Song returned to the kitchen with two hares, a pheasant and a large grass carp.
Master Song: "How to do it?"
He Yuzhu: "Don't pay attention to the dishes, just do whatever you want. Isn't there pork? I'll take half of it and make a lion's head. Of these two rabbits, one will make rabbit meatballs and the other will be braised. The pheasant will go with it. Order mushrooms to make chicken stewed with mushrooms, fish to make boiled fish. Tofu to make mapo tofu, and stir-fry a few vegetables. That’s pretty much it.”
On this day, He Yuzhu and Master Song took care of lunch and dinner first. It was after 7 o'clock in the evening that Director Wang came with his people. A total of two people came to the meat factory, plus Director Wang, Director Zhao and Director Zhou from the Purchasing Department, a total of five people.
After Director Wang and everyone were seated, Director Zhao came to the kitchen to order the dishes.
Director Zhao: "Is everything done? Everyone is here."
Master Song: "It's done, now it's time to serve."
Director Zhao and the helper brought the dishes to the table one by one.
Director Wang: "Director Qian, give it a try. Our chef's skills are extraordinary. They are no worse than those of the chefs at the Forty-Nine City Hotel."
"Really? Then I have to give it a try." Director Qian picked up the chopsticks with anticipation and tasted it.
"Well, it tastes really good." After tasting it, Director Qian gave Director Wang a thumbs up.
"Come on, come on, use your chopsticks and have a taste." Director Wang invited everyone to taste it together.
Director Qian: "Director Wang, what's your background as a cook? There's nothing to say about the boiled fish, mapo tofu, and the lion's head."
Director Wang: "His master, brothers and uncles are all in charge of the Forty-Nine City Hotel."
Director Qian became interested upon hearing this: "Who is it?"
Director Wang: "My master is Fan Dakang, a master of Sichuan cuisine, and my uncle is Peng Dahai of Tan Family Cuisine."
Director Qian: "Is this teacher famous? Why are you here?"
Director Wang: "They were invited by our Deputy Director Zhou, who is Master Fan's in-laws."
Director Qian: "No wonder."
A group of people exchanged glasses and drank to their heart's content. The food on the table is basically finished.
Director Wang and Director Zhou sent the people from the meat factory away.
Director Zhao also arrived in the kitchen. Master Song saw that Director Zhao had drunk a lot, so he quickly went over to give him a hand: "Director, please sit down for a while."
He Yuzhu: ""I'll make you some hangover soup. "
Director Zhao: "Do more. Director Wang and Lao Zhou will come over for a drink later."
"Okay." He Yuzhu turned around to make sobering soup.
After a while, Director Wang and Director Zhou also came back, and He Yuzhu and Master Song served them sobering soup.
After a busy meal, He Yuzhu and Master Song finally put them on the bureau's jeep and asked the driver to take them home. Watching the car drive away, Master Song said: "Okay, let's go home too."
The two got on their bicycles and went home.
