Siheyuan: Starting from the blind date

Chapter 34 The Favor of the Leading Lady

Li Ye smoked a cigarette, took an inventory to see what ingredients were there, and then decided what to cook based on the ingredients.

Yo, there are still a few crabs.

Seeing those few crabs, Li Ye's first dish was determined.

Crab powder lion head, this is the most authentic Huaiyang lion head.

Last time, the ingredients in the cafeteria were limited, so Li Ye could only make a braised lion head.

A series of delicious dishes such as crab powder lion head, Kai Yang Pu Cai, Wensi tofu, braised silver carp head, etc. were born from the hands of Li Ye.

Considering that the leader's wife is from Shu Province and likes spicy food, she also prepared condiments such as prickly ash, dried chili, millet and spicy.

Li Ye made several well-known classic Sichuan dishes such as twice-cooked pork and boiled fish fillets, and finally fried a light and greasy green vegetable, which made everything work.

Li Ye cooked these dishes in advance, put them in the pot to heat up, and waited for Leader Liu to serve the meal, he could serve all the dishes as soon as possible.

Leader Liu led Li Changming and several middle-aged leaders out of the study, and said with a smile: "Okay, we've almost finished talking about the business, everyone stay for dinner."

Leader Liu invited everyone to sit down, and seven or eight Huaiyang dishes and two or three Sichuan dishes were quickly served.

Leader Liu was a little surprised. Looking at the dozen or so steaming dishes, he said in surprise, "The dishes are served so quickly today."

"Leader, today's little master is meticulous in his work. He prepared the dishes in advance and put them in the pot to heat them up, so that they can be served at any time."

The leading secretary explained.

He prostituted several of Li Ye's flowers for nothing, and Li Ye's words were nice, and he did things well, and he was really meticulous. It's not impossible for the leader's secretary to praise Li Ye in front of Leader Liu.

Besides, he didn't call it a boast, he just reported the actual situation to the leader.

Leader Liu was obviously very happy, glanced at Li Changming, and said with a smile: "The little master who cooks today is the same person as the little master that day?"

"Exactly, the leader, didn't you say that Xiao Li's cooking skills are good? I was thinking about bringing him over and asking him to cook some dishes for the leader."

Li Changming has an expression that these are what I should do.

Leader Liu smiled knowingly, pointed at Li Changming with his index finger, laughed heartily a few times, and then said to the leader's secretary: "Why haven't you seen the little master? Tell him to come here."

The leading secretary went to lie down, and after 2 minutes, brought Li Ye to the dining room.

"Hello, Leader Liu, and hello, leaders."

With a smile on his face, Li Ye warmly greeted the leaders.

"Little master, it must be very hard for one person to cook so many dishes. Let's eat together with a bowl and a pair of chopsticks."

Leader Liu said generously.

If it was Xu Damao, and the leader invited that guy to eat together, he would immediately turn into a dog licker and lick the leaders.

As an old social animal, Li Ye understands that it may not be a good thing to eat with the leaders at the table.

Which one of you here is not a leader with a head and a face?He is a cook, and he eats at the same table as the leader. Does he talk or not while eating?

Don't talk, it's embarrassing, it looks like a fool.

Let's talk, everyone here is a leader, you, a cook, dare to talk to the leader and give advice?What you say is not nutritious, and the leader thinks you are useless.

What you said is full of dry goods, you, a cook, are smarter than the leader everywhere, do you want to mess around?

If you want to have a meal with a leader who is too high-ranking, if you want a harmonious atmosphere, you can only play the role of a clown like Xu Damao, responsible for making the leader happy.

Li Ye couldn't make a fool of himself like that.

Secondly, from the moment you acted as a clown to make the leader happy, in the eyes of the leader, your personality as a clown has been fixed, and there is a high probability that you can only continue to be a clown in the future.

"No, no, no, all the leaders are great leaders with a lot of experience. I am only a cook with little talent. I have to think about what the leaders say several times before I can understand it. How can I have the nerve to eat at the same table with the leaders?"

Li Ye declined Leader Liu's invitation, and by the way, he blew a wave of all the leaders present.

"Hahaha, you little master is really interesting. All right, I won't force you if you don't want to. But you have to drink this glass of wine."

Leader Liu didn't even think about inviting Li Ye to have dinner together, it was just a formality.

Li Ye's knowledge is generally appreciated by him personally, so pouring the wine himself is a way of showing Li Ye's face.

This time Li Ye couldn't refuse anymore, if he refused again, he would slap the leader in the face, thank the leader, immediately took the glass of wine and drank it down, and sighed that it was the first time he drank such a good wine.

Next, Li Ye went back to the kitchen and sat down, drinking tea to relieve boredom.

After a while, a woman came.

This is the leader's wife. Li Ye saw her sitting next to Leader Liu in the dining room just now.

As soon as the leader's wife entered the kitchen, Li Ye immediately stood up.

The leader's wife took a few glances at Li Ye. Her tall face was tender and handsome. Coupled with that harmless and friendly smile, it was hard to be disgusted.

The leader's wife moved her eyes away from Li Ye, glanced around, and found that the kitchen was tidy, the kitchen waste was cleaned up, and the unused condiments and ingredients were put aside in an orderly manner. It is pleasing to the eye.

The leader's wife added a little more favor to Li Ye, and said, "Little master, I can't tell that you are young, not only Huaiyang cuisine is very good, but Sichuan cuisine is also very good."

"Madam, I am so insignificant. I learned how to cook with my father when I was young. It took me more than ten years to learn a little superficial. The leader and the leader's wife don't dislike my cooking. Just fine."

Li Ye said very modestly.

At a young age, capable and humble, this young man is not bad.

The leader's wife gave Li Ye a few appreciative glances, and said that it's a pity that this is a cook. If he has a higher education and a better background, he might be able to do something in the future.

Then again, when they came to their house, they worked so hard to cook a large table of dishes for their family, and they did a pretty good job, so they definitely need to be rewarded.

"Master Xiao Li, those leftovers will be withdrawn into the kitchen later, you just watch and deal with them.

I still have some unused tickets here, you can take them back and use them. "

The leader's wife took out more than a dozen food tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets and other tickets and handed them to Li Ye. They regarded it as Li Ye's reward for coming to their house to cook today.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to get such things, but for people at their level, they are endless.

Li Ye was not polite to the leader's wife, and directly accepted the tickets: "Madam, if you want to eat authentic Sichuan cuisine in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely be there as soon as possible."

What the leader's wife wanted was Li Ye's words.

It is quite difficult to find a cook in the capital who can cook authentic Sichuan cuisine to her liking.
