Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 709 Meeting the Great Leader

After the meal, Lin Tieniu, Su Huijuan, and Lan Qiaoer sat together, chatting and digesting food, enjoying the very leisurely and comfortable time in front of them.

It wasn't until after three o'clock in the afternoon that he got up leisurely and left the hospitality food warehouse, and returned to the staff cafeteria to continue working.

Just when he thought the day would pass like this again, suddenly, Yang Xiangnan called and asked him to prepare quickly and follow him out to cook a meal for a leader later.

Although Yang Xiangnan didn't say who this leader is, but based on his understanding of the plot, it's easy to guess that this should be the big leader behind Yang Xiangnan, that is, the big nobleman of Shazhu in the original play.

He didn't feel very excited about this, and even felt a little troublesome.

If it weren't for the fact that being a cook is easier to cover up his eating and drinking problems, he would have thought of changing to a more leisurely job.

However, how can everything go well in this world?

Compared with the troubles that other people have to face, he is happy enough now.

This also confirms the old saying that happiness is generally based on comparison.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tieniu first went to the back kitchen to explain, arranged the entertainment tasks for the evening, and then ran to the back door of the rolling mill to wait.

After a while, a jeep drove out of the factory and stopped beside Lin Tieniu.

Lin Tieniu glanced at the license plate and was sure it was Yang Xiangnan's car, and without hesitation, he opened the passenger's door and got into the car.

When he got in the car, he glanced into the car and found that there was no one else except the driver and Yang Xiangnan.

Since he didn't even bring Hu Huimin, the chief steward of the factory committee, besides serving the chief leader, he couldn't think of anyone else with such a high rank.

Sure enough, after driving for a while, the car came to a residential area with a relatively beautiful environment, and there were special security personnel at the door.

After Lin Tieniu got off the car, he didn't say a word, but just looked calmly at the three-story building in front of him.

Although this house is quite ordinary, it is similar to the houses in the countryside of later generations.

But these days, without a certain level, it is really impossible to live in such a house.

Yang Xiangnan saw Lin Tieniu like this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he walked over and said in a low voice: "Director Lin, someone will take you to the kitchen later, you just need to concentrate on cooking, don't worry about other things. Ask more."

"Ok!"

Lin Tieniu looked straight, nodded and agreed very simply.

Afterwards, he stood behind Yang Xiangnan, continuing to act as a quiet, honest and low-key cook.

Not long after, a young man in his 30s came out of the building and brought them into the house.

From the looks of it, this young man should be the secretary of the big leader.

Lin Tieniu deliberately walked a few steps slowly, waiting for the secretary to guide Yang Xiangnan into the house, just in time to follow the secretary to detour to the kitchen.

The secretary turned around and saw Lin Tieniu, a handsome cook who knew the rules so well, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face.

In his impression, those cooks are generally tall and thick, and they are a bit vulgar.

Originally, Yang Xiangnan said that he would bring a cook over to make delicious food for the big leader. He was still a little worried that the cook would accidentally bump into the leader, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry too much.

"Are you a master cook? Come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tieniu nodded and said nothing, then followed the secretary to the kitchen.

"Little master, the ingredients are all ready, what are you missing?"

The secretary walked into the kitchen, pointed at some chicken, duck and fish on the chopping board, and said softly.

"Well, these ingredients can make about a dozen dishes. May I ask how many people will be eating? I can arrange according to the number of diners!"

Lin Tieniu glanced at the ingredients, then nodded and said.

"Here, there should be about seven or eight people!"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

Although he knew who the big leader had invited over, it was difficult to guarantee whether someone would bring other people over, so he could only give an approximate number of people.

"Okay, I got it!"

Lin Tieniu was not surprised by this, and nodded in response.

Afterwards, he stepped forward, put on the apron and chef's hat he had brought, and prepared to start working.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lin Tieniu, the secretary didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly turned around and went to the door to wait for other guests.

Lin Tieniu glanced at the back of the secretary leaving, then couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

On the surface, it seems that the status of the secretary of the big leader must be much higher than that of the small canteen director, but in the final analysis, it is not all about serving people.

Moreover, in terms of benefits, it is not necessary to be a secretary of a big leader, and he usually doesn't eat as much meat as a cook like him!
Therefore, he has no feeling of envy.

In the busy process, soon, more than an hour passed, and the sky outside gradually became darker.

Since he didn't know when the meal could be served, Lin Tieniu could only process the ingredients first, and put some dishes that took a long time to cook, and then sat quietly on the chair with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Lin Tieniu gently opened his eyes and looked towards the door, only to see a 50-[-]-year-old woman walking in from the door.

From the woman's attire and the look on her face, he immediately guessed that the other party should be the wife of the chief executive.

So, he hurriedly stood up and greeted softly: "Hello!"

"Hey, hello!"

Upon hearing this, Madam looked at Lin Tieniu carefully, and replied with a smile, with a trace of suspicion in her expression, as if she didn't believe how good Lin Tieniu's cooking skills were at such a young age.

"Is the food ready now?"

Lin Tieniu didn't care what the other party thought, and then asked.

"That's right, they'll finish talking in a while, let me come over to see how the food is doing?"

Madam nodded, then turned her head to look at the stove, wanting to see Lin Tieniu's work.

Seeing this, she was a little surprised immediately. She saw that there were plates of processed ingredients neatly placed beside the stove, which looked beautiful and fresh, and people could immediately imagine how these ingredients were made. How delicious it will be after the dish.

"Look, I've stewed the soup and the elbow first, and I just need to stir-fry the other dishes later, so it won't delay the leader's dinner."

Lin Tieniu heard this and said with a soft smile.

As he said that, he reached out and opened the lid of the soup pot, and a burst of delicious and attractive steam gushed out from the pot in an instant.

Although he knew that the wife of the big leader in front of him must not trust his culinary skills, but he was not interested in doing any pretending to slap his face, so he directly showed his cooking skills.

"This soup is too fragrant!"

Madam smelled the fragrance in the air, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"As long as you like it!"

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said softly.

"I really didn't expect it! Little master, you have such good cooking skills at such a young age. I have eaten so many things, and I have never smelled such a fragrant soup!"

The lady came back to her senses and said with a look of surprise.

After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Tieniu with piercing eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

If it wasn't because her daughter was already married, she probably wanted to recruit Lin Tieniu as her son-in-law.

"Hehe, you won the prize!"

Lin Tieniu chuckled and said modestly.

"That's right, you're such a good little comrade. It's really a good thing to ask you to help cook today! My husband has not had a good appetite recently. I might be so happy to eat the food you cooked! I Don't know how to thank you?"

Madam nodded, then smiled appreciatively.

After finishing speaking, she paid close attention to the expression on Lin Tieniu's face, wanting to see how Lin Tieniu would react when he knew that she was the wife of the chief executive.

As a result, Lin Tieniu didn't seem to understand what she meant, he just waved his hands and said humbly: "You are serious, I am a cook, and cooking is my duty, so I don't need to say thank you. "

"Okay, it seems that you, little master, are very enlightened! Then I won't be polite to you. If my mouth is satisfied this time, I will trouble you to come over and help cook frequently in the future!"

When Madam heard this, a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes, then she nodded and smiled.

"No problem, as long as the leader needs it, I can come over and cook for the leader at any time!"

Lin Tieniu nodded and said with a calm smile.

"Okay, then I won't bother you, you prepare, and the food will be served in about ten minutes!"

Madam smiled slightly, then left a word with satisfaction and turned away.

Lin Tieniu glanced at the back of his wife leaving, and then without thinking too much, he directly picked up the pot and spoon to light the stove, and got busy like clouds and flowing water.

Not long after, a spicy and tempting spicy chicken dish came out.

Then, he cooked the next dish non-stop, and finally finished all the remaining dishes in just ten minutes.

As soon as he finished his work, the secretary hurried in and announced that the food would be served.

Lin Tieniu agreed casually, and then served the dishes on a tray.

After going back and forth three or four times, a large table was filled with delicious food in a short time, which made people drool.

The secretary looked at the large table of dishes in front of him, his face was full of astonishment, as if he had never thought that Lin Tieniu's cooking skills would be so good.

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu didn't intend to explain to the secretary, and after explaining that all the dishes were served, he went back to the kitchen and sat quietly waiting for the meal to end.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what to do tomorrow.

According to the previous plan, he had to go to Lan Qiaoer's house to propose marriage tomorrow. Besides the 100 yuan dowry, he also had to prepare some gifts.

In addition, since tomorrow is the weekend, he didn't want to delay the matter. He planned to get the marriage certificate with Lan Qiaoer next Monday, and also asked for the wedding leave.

In this way, he had to communicate well with Yang Xiangnan and Li Weihong in advance, so as to save time from arranging too many banquets and make the canteen overwhelmed.

And if he took a wedding leave, the people in the courtyard would know that he was married. In order not to let those people in the courtyard affect his mood, he planned to take Lan Qiaoer back to the countryside at that time.

On the one hand, this is to take Lan Qiaoer to pay respects to the old lame man, which can be regarded as an explanation to the original body, on the other hand, it is to take Lan Qiaoer back to the village to recognize someone, so that it will be convenient for future exchanges.

After all, if he got married, he had to tell old man Jiang Deqing immediately, so that the old man would not blame him for his lack of conscience afterwards.

At the same time, this is also a guarantee for Lan Qiaoer, she can't be allowed to recite the name of a big lady for nothing, and don't give her the corresponding dignity!

While he was thinking about his own affairs in the kitchen, the big leader came to the dining room, surrounded by Yang Xiangnan and others, to prepare for dinner.

They just walked into the restaurant, except for Yang Xiangnan, everyone looked at the delicious food on the table with a look of surprise.

The people present have basically seen the big world, and under normal circumstances, there are very few things that can surprise them so much.

It can be seen from this that Lin Tieniu's cooking is so good.

Looking at the reactions of other people, Yang Xiangnan couldn't help feeling proud and fortunate.

It was really not in vain that he had sold favors to Lin Tieniu so decisively at the beginning, but now he really gave him a lot of face.

Even, if the big leader eats well and falls in love with Lin Tieniu, won't he be able to go along with the flow and sell favors to the big leader?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Leader, you see that this dish is already ready, let's taste it first, shall we? If not, I will introduce you to a better chef next time." .”

"Yes, yes, everyone, let's sit down and eat first!"

The big leader came back to his senses after hearing the words, then nodded and said hello.

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and sat down on the first seat, keeping his eyes on the food on the table.

These days, due to the shortage of supplies, even if he is a relatively high-level leader, he can't usually eat good food, let alone the food prepared by a master chef like Lin Tieniu.

If it weren't for his concentration, he couldn't help but want to bury his head and eat it.

Seeing this, everyone sat down one after another, keeping their eyes on the dishes on the dining table.

The big leader glanced at everyone, knowing in his heart that if he didn't move his chopsticks, the others wouldn't.

So, he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of twice-cooked pork into his mouth to taste.

After tasting it, his brows could not help but tremble, and his face was full of intoxication. He didn't look like a high-ranking leader at all, but like a foodie.

Seeing that the big leader had already moved the chopsticks, the others didn't hold them anymore, and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks to pick up some of the dishes they liked and put them in their mouths to eat.

At this time, the leader's wife also hurried in from the outside, holding two bottles of Moutai in her hand.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly put down their chopsticks and said hello.

The big leader also greeted with a smile: "You are here! Hurry up and sit down to eat together, today we are considered lucky."

"You don't need to say that. I went to the kitchen before and smelled the smell of the little chef's stew, so I knew that the dishes he cooked must be good."

Upon hearing this, Madam said with a smug smile.

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly sat opposite the big leader, handed the wine to the secretary standing beside her, and impatiently took a bite of fish-flavored shredded pork with her chopsticks and tasted it.
