Siheyuan: Starting from the promotion of an engineer

Chapter 187 Not bad, my craft is the patriarch's meal

The big leader looked at Lin Zhen in surprise.

He smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, you can really surprise me. Well, you can cook today's meal, Xiao Wang, and take Xiao Lin to the kitchen."

The guard Xiao Wang led Lin Zhen to the back kitchen.

There used to be a Sichuan chef here, who was the special chef of the big leader.

But I'm not in the kitchen at this time, I should go to the vegetable market to buy something and I haven't come back yet.

Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Comrade Lin Zhen, please wait for a while. Master Du should be back in a while. If you don't want to look at the ingredients in the back kitchen, you can start immediately."

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "For someone like me who likes to cook, this back kitchen is like a treasure digger meeting gold and silver mountains. It is so complete, even more complete than the back kitchen of a rolling mill. I can now start."

"Okay, I'll come back later."

After Xiao Wang left, Lin Zhen smiled slightly as he looked at the kitchen arrangement.

I thought to myself silly, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to join the big leader's kitchen.

The big leader's year-end friendship is probably me.

It's not that I have to cut you off, the back kitchen is so well equipped, there is no chef who doesn't like frying, frying, steaming, stewing and stewing here.

After learning about the leader's hometown and residence, Lin Zhen immediately formulated a set of Sichuan cuisine.

Except that boiled cabbage can't be made in a short time.

Several representative dishes can be made almost.

But it must be formulated in combination with the actual number of diners.

Can't be less, let alone too much to eat and waste.

In the end, Lin Zhen chose six dishes.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, hot and sour cabbage.

Just as Lin Zhen finished choosing the dishes, the door curtain was lifted, and a person came in.

Looking in his 40s, he can be seen as a cook, Master Du, just by looking at his clothes.

Those who can cook for the leaders not only must have good skills, but more importantly, they must have strong relationships.

Shazhu's craftsmanship is good, but he can only work in the back kitchen of the rolling mill, and he can't even be a canteen director.

And this Sichuan cuisine cook, Master Du, is not as skilled as Sha Zhu, but his relationship is much stronger than Sha Zhu.

Seeing Lin Zhen choosing dishes in the back kitchen alone, he thought it was a new apprentice to help the kitchen.

After all, he was only in his 20s and had a well-behaved expression.

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, and was about to say hello and speak.

Master Du slightly raised his hand to stop him, and put the newly bought chicken, pork and some vegetables on the vegetable rack.

He asked lightly, "New here?"

Lin Zhen nodded and smiled: "Yes."

"You came to be an apprentice? Who introduced it? Who is the person behind? Know me?"

When Master Du came up, he would talk about it first, and inquire who had a strong relationship, so that it would be easy to get along with in the future.

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, "Master Du, I came here with Director Yang of the rolling mill. He told the big boss that I can cook. The big boss was surprised and asked me to prepare lunch."

Master Du frowned, "Oh~ you are the security guard of Director Yang? Then you should do your job well and cook for the big leader. How can you promise randomly? You are young Can you cook?"

"I'm not a guard, I'm an engineer in the rolling mill, and I'm here to report to work with Director Yang..."

"okay!"

Master Du interrupted Lin Zhen, and said impatiently: "The engineer is going to do your scientific research, what are you doing around the stove? Cooks have their own rules, unless you beat me, here is where you are qualified to fire and cook! What can you do as an engineer? Don’t the big leaders have a cook? How can you stand out?”

Lin Zhen shook his head helplessly and smiled: "If you say that, I can compare with you, but let me explain first, I am not here to steal your job, nor am I offering to cook for the big leader."

"Huh! I started chopping vegetables when I was ten years old, and I was able to cook at the age of 13. I have been cooking for more than 30 years. If I lose to you, I will never set foot in the kitchen!"

Lin Zhen spread his hands, "Forget it, let's not compare. I have no grievances or grudges with you. I can't bear to smash your job. You are too radical. Forget it. I'll go back to the front hall."

"Stop! The back kitchen is not where you want to come!"

"Uh...then what do you say?"

"Wash the vegetables and meat for me, and I will pretend that what happened today didn't happen."

As soon as the words fell, the guard Xiao Wang came over.

"Master Du, are you back?"

"Oh, Comrade Xiao Wang, why did you come to the back kitchen? Does the leader have any orders?"

"Well, let's do it today. The chef asked Comrade Lin Zhen to come. He is the one who beat the head chef of the rolling mill. The leader said he wanted to try his dishes."

"Huh? Him?...Oh...yes! I, I know!"

After Xiao Wang left, Master Du was a little messy, looked at Lin Zhen and smiled awkwardly.

People like him have to change quickly, otherwise they wouldn't get such a good job.

"Those who don't know are not to blame, Lin Gong, please, please!"

Naturally, Lin Zhen would not have the same knowledge as a person like him.

"It's okay, I don't come here every day, you can wash the ingredients for me, and I will do all the cutting and cooking by myself!"

"Uh...Gong Lin, it's not long before dinner, can you handle it by yourself? Would you like me to help you, so as not to delay the leader's dinner."

"Don't worry, there are only six dishes, and I can't delay eighteen dishes!"

Lin Zhen deliberately missed a hand while speaking.

Generally at home, Lin Zhen seldom deliberately leaks his true skills, as long as the food he cooks is delicious.

There is no need to cook every day like a little master possessed.

But this time it was to make Master Du completely convinced.

You must let him take a look, and you will have to be respected the most by yourself next time.

Lin Zhen threw the tender tofu into the air, picked it up with his thumb, and turned the kitchen knife quickly in his hand.

Following a few flashes of knife light, all the tender tofu in the air were cut into small pieces.

Pieces fell onto the plate and remained intact, forming a small pyramid.

And Lin Zhen didn't even move the corner of his clothes, he just waved his arms a few times, almost to the point where afterimages appeared.

"The mapo tofu has been cut, and the next one is twice-cooked pork. Have you washed the garlic sprouts?"

"what……"

Master Du had already opened his mouth and was speechless.

Thinking that the swordsman mentioned in the storytelling really exists?
This skill is not much worse than the Wu Shengren who flies over the eaves and walks on the wall, and releases the flying sword when he raises his hand!

Wasn't he dazzled just now?

"Master Du! Have the garlic sprouts been washed?"

"Ah?!!! Wash, wash, this, this, this..."

"Hmph, hurry up, don't delay me chopping vegetables!"

dang dang dang dang...

While Lin Zhen was talking, his hands were not idle.

The ingredients lined up under his knife and flew into the basin.

Master Du just wanted to slap himself hard now.

On the one hand, I want to test whether it hurts or not, whether I am dreaming.

On the one hand, it is to beat yourself and underestimate the expert.

It's true that there are heaven and earth, and there are people outside the sky. With Lin Zhen's knife skills alone, he will not be able to do it after 30 years of practice.

While laying his hand cautiously, Master Du asked tentatively, "Gong Lin, who did you learn from?"

"Yi Yin."

"Ah? That's our patriarch!"

"Haha, I am the Patriarch's appreciating food, and I can order all eight major cuisines."

"It's amazing! I envy you so much. It's not convenient for you to say that I won't ask any more. I just want to ask where your home is? I'll visit you when I'm free."

"Master Du, it's enough to serve me well. I don't want to spread my skills. If I come to cook for the big leaders in the future, you can follow me, but don't mention the matter of asking for a teacher."

Master Du felt disappointed at once, but smiled in the blink of an eye and said, "It's also my blessing to see you cook without your true skills, and it's worth it!"
