Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 272 Cooking for the Leader

Secretary Chen hurriedly said: "I don't want to watch the movie, I'll send the projectionists away, let's eat first, eat first."

He Yuzhu put down the big enamel tea mug in his hand, and said, "Say it earlier, go and call the driver Yi Weidong who came with me, and give me a hand."

Secretary Chen felt that this chef was unreliable, why did he find a driver to help him, and said:

"Is that the very young driver?"

He Yuzhu saw the mistrust on Secretary Chen's face, and said, "That's my younger brother, and his knife skills are no worse than mine."

Secretary Chen dubiously went out to call Yi Weidong to come.

Yi Weidong followed Secretary Chen, met the leader's wife on the way, and was asked:

"Secretary Chen, what are you doing with this little driver?"

Secretary Chen explained: "Master He, the chef, said that the little master is very good at knives, so he came here to help."

The leader's wife asked Yi Weidong: "Have you also studied cooking?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Hi, Master He is my elder brother. I have been studying with him for several years."

"Really, I'll follow along."

The three entered the kitchen together, and He Yuzhu said, "Weidong, wash your hands and come help."

"Okay." After Yi Weidong agreed, he washed his hands first, and began to cut green peppers, eggplants, shredded meat, etc., and put all the ingredients on the plate by the way, so that He Yuzhu could use them directly.

The leader's wife saw that the two were cooperating seamlessly, and their movements were as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water. She nodded secretly. It turned out that she was mistaken. Judging from this posture, she looks like a big chef. It depends on whether the taste of the dishes suits the leader's taste.

Yi Weidong quickly prepared the side dishes, stopped the knife, and watched He Yuzhu stir-fry.

The leader's wife asked: "Little master, how many years have you been studying? Have you also learned cooking?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I've only learned knife skills now, and I haven't learned cooking yet!"

"Then do you have any unique skills?"

Yi Weidong has nothing else to do now, picked up a potato next to him and said, "I'll show you a hand-cut potato shreds."

The leader's wife was surprised: "How is that possible? Cutting potato shreds with your hands? Then you don't cut your hands?"

Yi Weidong stopped talking, weighed the potatoes in his hand, held his breath, raised the kitchen knife with his right hand, and quickly cut off the potatoes in his hand, only to see a continuous light of the knife falling, and slices of potatoes fell in an instant. It appeared in Yi Weidong's hands.

He took a breath, adjusted according to the situation, and raised the kitchen knife in his hand again. After three or two breaths, Yi Weidong piled the shredded potatoes on the cutting board and said, "Cut the shredded potatoes to equal thickness and uniform size. That’s how qualified the knife skills are.”

The leader's wife took two steps forward and took Yi Weidong's hand. After further inspection, there were only a few white marks in her hand. She also looked at the shredded potatoes on the cutting board. As Yi Weidong said, all of them were of the same size. , uniform in thickness.

He said in surprise: "Little comrade, I didn't expect you to be so good at knife skills. This is too good."

Yi Weidong pointed to the white Daozi on his hand and said: "I'm not home yet, if I don't have this imprint, I can be called home."

Yi Weidong has the control of mental power, and doing this is only a child's practice, and Yi Weidong only practices once in a while, mainly because he is afraid of accidentally giving up his hands.

With Yi Weidong's performance, the leader's wife has confidence in He Yuzhu's dishes. This younger brother is so good, so it's not like his brother is an idiot.

In the living room, the leader and the four guests were having a conversation and said: "The situation is not optimistic now. The newspaper said that the rain is about to come and the house is full of wind. I invite you here today not to drink, but to give you a drink." breathable"

At this moment, Secretary Chen opened the door and came in and said, "Boss, the dishes are all ready."

"So soon, come, let's chat while eating."

Everyone got up and came to the restaurant. Eight dishes were already on the table. Six people sat down. The leader smiled and said:

"It looks pretty good!"

The chef was brought by Factory Manager Yang, so of course I have to praise myself: "Master Xiao He is still good at cooking."

Although the leader's wife had some improvements, she still said: "I haven't tasted it yet, how do I know if it's delicious?"

Director Wang smiled and said: "Don't try it, he cooks really well. It's not once or twice that I went to their unit to eat. Otherwise, I wouldn't introduce him to cook for the leader."

The big leader took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth. He felt that the taste was very authentic, and said, "Go and call the master who cooks."

Secretary Chen happened to pour the wine around and said, "Okay."

He put down the white wine bottle and turned to the kitchen.

The big leader changed the dish and took another bite of the dish. The level is still very good, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Secretary Chen came in and said, "Leader, he's here."

He Yuzhu came in with a dish, and the leader said without raising his head, "This dish must be twice-cooked pork."

He Yuzhu was very surprised, put the twice-cooked pork in the middle of the dining table, looked up at the big leader in the main seat, and smiled without saying a word.

The big leader continued: "Your next dish must be Dongpo pork."

He Yuzhu smiled and backed out without speaking.

The big leader said in surprise: "Why doesn't he speak?"

Madam said: "Speak, if you speak, you will choke to death."

The big leader smiled and said, "Then you must have taught him a lesson."

Everyone also laughed, Madam said: "Come and eat vegetables, eat while it's hot."

He Yuzhu knocked on the door, made a reminder before coming in, and put Dongpo's elbow in the middle, and everyone smiled heartily. Director Wang praised: "Leader, you are a god, this really sent Dongpo's elbow."

After tasting it, the leader's wife praised: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it tastes really good."

"Do you regret it?" The leader continued, "It's too early to criticize others."

The leader's wife turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Little master, I really underestimated you."

“This is authentic Sichuan food.”

"Your dishes are good."

"It's better than the ones in Sichuan restaurants."

"."

After the tasting, everyone praised He Yuzhu's superb cooking skills, and He Yuzhu nodded with a smile.

The big leader smiled and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

He Yuzhu still shook his head.

"Did the leader ask you something?"

He Yuzhu remained silent.

The big leader asked, "Are you dumb?"

"Not dumb." He Yuzhu finally spoke.

"Then why don't you talk?"

He Yuzhu said: "Before going out, the factory manager has explained that he is only allowed to cook and not to talk."

He turned his head and asked Director Yang: "Is that what you mean? Director."

Everyone laughed hehe, never expecting there to be such a real person.

Only then did Director Yang remember his previous instructions, and said with a smile: "If the leader asks you, you must answer."

"You said this, so I'll say it? If I say something wrong, don't blame me." He Yuzhu said.

Director Yang said helplessly: "Speak, let's talk."

The big leader smiled and asked: "Well, let me ask you, why do you make these dishes?"

He Yuzhu replied: "Boss, can you be from Sichuan? I saw this dish is clear, everyone in Sichuan knows that Sichuan cuisine is just these few dishes."

Then he said: "It's all here, but today's elbow is a bit off. It's not that I can't do it, it's that the meat prepared by your family can't do it."

The big leader smiled and said, "What did you call me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Great leader!"

Director Yang explained with a smile: "I didn't tell him who you are."

The big leader understood now, and said with a smile, "Then aren't you curious?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I'm not curious. When I left as an apprentice, my master told me: Just cook and don't ask who the guests are."

"Okay, I like his personality." The big leader then ordered Secretary Chen who was standing beside him: "Come, pour him a glass of wine."

He Yuzhu asked Director Yang: "Director, can I drink this wine?"

Director Yang thought to himself that you still have to ask me what the leader ordered. If I can say that you don’t drink, isn’t that going against the leader?Laughing: "Drink, drink!"

"Okay, thank you, boss." He Yuzhu said after taking the wine glass from Secretary Chen.

The big leader picked up the wine glass and said: "This is the first glass, I will respect you first."

He Yuzhu hurriedly interrupted the big leader and said, "Don't, I respect you, I respect you."

He Yuzhu bent down and drank the glass of wine with the leader.

The big leader went on to say, "What should I call you?"

"His name is He Yuzhu, you can just call him Xiao He."

"Don't be big or small, big leader, you call me anything, isn't it just a title? No one in our factory calls me big name, everyone calls me silly, you are such a serious comrade like our factory director I yelled stupidly when I was anxious."

He Yuzhu's continuous talking and gestures made everyone laugh, and the big leader smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I am willing to be a revolution|revolutionary fool, and then I will call you Stupid Zhu."

"It's very kind, great leader. Hurry up and eat while it's hot." He Yuzhu also knew that it was an exception for him to come in and say a few words, so he backed out with a smile.

He went to the kitchen and cooked four more dishes for Yi Weidong to deliver to the driver, and they had dinner in the kitchen when they came back.

When the banquet in the restaurant was over, the leader's wife kindly asked He Yuzhu to pack the leftovers.

Yi Weidong first sent Factory Director Yang home, just in time to drive the car back to the courtyard, and parked the car directly outside the gate, which attracted envious looks from the neighbors around.

Yi Weidong didn't know when the event started before, but it is quite clear in the TV series, that is, after He Yuzhu cooked dinner for the big leaders, the plot after the event came. things are ready.

Waking up early the next day, Yi Weidong drove to the outside of Director Yang's house very early, and he didn't need to go in. He tapped the horn and waited in the jeep.

After a while, Director Yang's daughter-in-law came out with her daughter Yang Hongyan, opened the passenger door and said with a smile:

"Little master, I have something urgent, please send Hongyan to her school and let her go to school by herself, thank you!"

Before Yi Weidong could speak, Yang Hongyan next to him pouted and said, "Mom, why are you being so polite!"

Yang Hongyan's mother scolded: "You child, this is the official car. If you didn't get up late, could we take advantage of the official car?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Auntie is fine, we will arrive at school in a few steps."

At this time, many people were very clear about the distinction between public and private, and generally they would not want to take advantage of the public. Yi Weidong looked at the time, and it was indeed Yang Hongyan who was going to be late for class.

Yang Hongyan pouted and sat on the passenger seat, closed the car door with a bang, and said to herself, "You called me late and blamed me for getting up late. Is there a mother like this?"

Turning back and glaring at Yi Weidong: "What are you doing, don't drive, I will ask Grandpa to deduct your bonus if you are late."

The corner of Yi Weidong's mouth twitched, and he hurried to the school in gear, comforting him, "I'm fine, I won't be late, why did you eat gunpowder this morning?"

Yi Weidong also met Yang Hongyan a few times, she was usually a quiet little girl, but she didn't expect that she would be late today, and Yang Hongyan would become a savage young lady.

"You only eat gunpowder? You eat gunpowder every day." Yang Hongyan said with a small mouth.

Well, it is better not to quarrel with this gunpowder barrel today, but to send it to the school for the people's teachers to teach it well. Yi Weidong stepped up the accelerator and sent Yang Hongyan to the roadside tens of meters away from the school gate, saying : "Powder keg, hurry to school!"

"You..." At this time, the preparatory bell rang and there was no time to say more. Yang Hongyan glared at Yi Weidong, picked up her schoolbag, got out of the car, closed the door forcefully, threw her braids and ran to the school.

Yi Weidong shook his head and drove the jeep outside Director Yang's house again, and drove Director Yang to the bottom of the office building before the bell rang for work, and then handed over the car to the car class.

Officer Miao took the key of the car, and said with a smile, "Weidong, please give me another car, and send a batch of goods to the train freight station."

"Ok."

Yi Weidong tied up the keys of the cart and went to deliver the goods. After a busy day, Yi Weidong came to Qin Xiayue's house after get off work in the afternoon. When he entered the yard, he first took the two chickens he was carrying into the kitchen. Qin Xiayue laughed:

"Weidong, why haven't you come over recently?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Recently there are a lot of things going on in the factory. I have time today to settle the accounts. I won't buy them in the future. I'm still looking for something to do with the master."

Qin Xiayue froze for a moment, then continued to knead the dough with wet hands, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's because they don't want to buy any more."

Yi Weidong can't tell the truth yet, just find a reason to deal with it, the two chatted for a while, Qin Xiayue washed the hands after kneading the noodles, and the two went into the Westinghouse to settle the score, Yi Weidong said:

"In the future, you don't have to go to the market if you have nothing to do, and you can't go there again if you have something to do. Tell Steak and Erlang."

"Why? But usually we don't go public."

Yi Weidong said: "You will know this soon. By the way, Miss Xiaoyue, do you have an uncle who is bending over?"

Qin Xiayue said: "Yes, my uncle followed to Wanwan, why did you think of asking this?"

"Nothing, just thought of asking."

"Weidong, what are you talking about today, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"You just took the wrong medicine!"

Qin Xiayue stretched out her hand and said, "Weidong, you have turned the world upside down."

Facing the violent senior sister, Yi Weidong was defeated, and Qin Xiayue spared Yi Weidong only after admitting defeat.

The two of them came to the West Wing and loaded all the old things they bought recently into Yi Weidong's tricycle, and waited for a while for Master Qin to come back from get off work.

Yi Weidong got up to say hello, Master Qin asked, "Is Weidong busy?"

Yi Weidong said: "Yes, master, let's go into the room and talk."

Master Qin just said it casually, he didn't expect that Yi Weidong really had something to look for him, and said: "Well, let's talk when you come in."

Yi Weidong followed into the east room, closed the door casually, sat in front of Master Qin and said, "Master, I heard a piece of news yesterday, and it happened like this"
