Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 104 Let's Go Skiing
Time flies.

When there were less than 100 hours of simulation training left, Du Shaojie was able to achieve a % simulated evaluation of "medium" for every pork dish he made in the simulation training.

【Duration: 30 hours\1580 hours】

The consequence is that the remaining time has been greatly reduced and is about to reach the bottom.

"elder brother!"

"Brother, we are here."

Winter vacation came in a blink of an eye. Wang Xiuyu cleaned up the house and brought Xiaomei and Xiaoya to the farm.

The two sisters were so happy to see Du Shaojie, which of course was also related to the change of environment.

Du Shaojie took over some luggage, and the family returned to his residence with their bags. The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the room was warm, which quickly dispelled the coldness of the mother and daughter.

"Mom, why did you bring the radio?"

After entering the house, Du Shaojie helped pack up and suddenly found that they had brought the radio with them.

Although the desktop radio is not heavy, it is not light either. It really is troublesome to carry it from such a long distance.

"If you ask them, they are the ones who insist on bringing it. They say they have to listen to the program every day."

Wang Yuxiu pointed at Xiaomei and Xiaoya and responded helplessly.

The two little girls stuck out their tongues and ran into the yard, obviously afraid that their brother would scold them.

Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head, put the radio on the wooden box, and plugged it in. After turning it on and trying it out, he was able to receive quite a few radio stations.

"Mom, you guys take a break first. I still have to work in the cafeteria for a while. Don't worry about lunch. I'll make it when I get back."

As it was almost noon, Du Shaojie went back to the cafeteria to cook.

The lunch dishes included cabbage vermicelli, stewed potatoes with beans, and the staple food was steamed cake and steamed bun. They were all simple dishes, and he finished them quickly, then hurried home to cook.

At this time, Wang Yuxiu had already made the beds with Xiaomei and Xiaoya and was about to start kneading the dough.

"Mom, we're going to have rice for lunch. Go cook the rice and I'll cook the dishes."

Du Shaojie knew they were coming today, so he made preparations in advance.

One dish is [Sour Cabbage and Pork Intestines], one dish is [Stir-fried Kidney], and one dish is [Stir-fried Chinese Cabbage]. I prepared a little more than I should, so it doesn’t matter if there are leftovers if I can’t finish them. I can eat them in the evening.

It wasn't long before the family sat together and started eating.

"Brother, how come you cook so fast?"

The mother and her two daughters ate happily, especially Xiaomei and Xiaoya, who liked the dishes cooked by their brother the most.

Xiaomei felt that her brother's cooking speed was beyond imagination. It took only half an hour for three dishes to be served on the table. So she asked curiously.

"I've done all the preparations ahead of time, so isn't it quick to cook?"

Du Shaojie laughed and cleared up his sister's confusion.

In fact, it is very troublesome to handle pig offal. For example, pig intestines have to go through multiple cleaning processes, and may need to be cooked in advance depending on the dish.

Cutting kidney flowers mainly tests the knife skills. The bad parts (the loose parts) need to be removed and the surface needs to be patterned.

But professionally processed pork offal has no peculiar smell and tastes excellent.

The mother, daughter and three of them ate more than usual and felt very satisfied. They planned to stay on the farm until the New Year and then go home to celebrate the New Year.

After cleaning up the mess, Du Shaojie asked about the academic performance of his two sisters. One ranked first in the final score of the class, and the other ranked second in the final score of the class.

Xiaoya is first in the class and Xiaomei is second in the class.

"Not bad, you'll have to keep working hard. Since both of you performed well, I'll take you to the mountains to ski in a couple of days."

Du Shaojie always encourages his two younger sisters and rarely gets angry with them.

There should be rewards for good performance, but monetary incentives should not be used. It is better to arrange it according to their preferences.

"Ohhh, long live my brother!"

"Great! Great! Long live my brother!"

The two little girls were at the age when they loved to play, and when they heard their brother's promise, they immediately jumped up for joy.

Du Shaojie was also very happy. Although he couldn't find professional skis now, there were plenty of sleds and he could still have fun with them.

At this time, Wang Liwen walked in from outside.

Knowing that Du Shaojie's family was arriving today, she came to visit them.

Not long after Wang Liwen sat down, Zhao Dajun, Chu Xiaowei, and Qin Xiaomei and her husband all came. However, they didn't stay for long, and left after a brief greeting.

"Xiao Jie, it seems that you are quite popular on the farm!"

Wang Yuxiu felt very relieved. Her son used to be a taciturn person and she was worried about it.

Unexpectedly, since last year, my son suddenly came to his senses. Not only did his cooking skills improve by leaps and bounds, but he also made great progress in his interpersonal relationships.

"It's OK. Most of the people in the field are easy to get along with. Mom, you guys go get some sleep. I have to go to work."

Du Shaojie smiled and said perfunctorily. He didn't want to continue this topic. Some things were the biggest secrets in his heart.

in the afternoon.

Lin Zuo staggered into the cafeteria and wanted to talk to Li Guixiang.

Li Guixiang looked at Du Shaojie and looked very embarrassed.

"Go ahead. Deputy Director Lin is in charge of this area. Please cooperate with him."

Du Shaojie waved his hand. There was no reason for him to stop Li Guixiang, and there was no need to stop her. Li Guixiang then walked out quickly, and then followed Lin Zuo to the other party's office. It was not until more than an hour later that she hurried back.

At this time, Qin Xiaomei had already prepared dinner. Eating steel wire noodles in the evening was quite simple.

"Master Du, I..."

When Li Guixiang met Du Shaojie, she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

"Sister Li, you don't need to tell me the content of the conversation. This is not my business. Go get the food later and clean up the kitchen yourself. I'll be off work soon."

Du Shaojie waved his hand and told Li Guixiang to get back to work.

But he had a bad feeling in his heart. Li Guixiang's previous hesitation could explain a lot of problems. He had to be more careful in the future. It was best to avoid Li Guixiang in some things.

Qin Xiaomei also noticed something, curled her lips, but didn't say anything.

After cooking, Du Shaojie ordered four servings of steel wire noodles and went home. Li Guixiang was in charge of the rest, and he was too lazy to worry about it.

I had steel wire noodles for dinner, and some leftovers from lunch, which was also delicious.

Nowadays, not many people have lavish meals at home all day long. Although Du Shaojie has no shortage of various meats in his storage space, it is better to go slow and steady to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

He really had no shortage of food and oil. He had helped others organize wedding banquets before and brought back a lot of rice, flour and cooking oil. He didn't cook by himself at ordinary times, and since he had working meals anyway, who would bother with that?

Unless you are greedy and want to improve your life.

After dinner, Xiaomei and Xiaoya sat there listening to the radio with very focused expressions.

Wang Yuxiu was hand-sewing insoles under the lamp. In fact, she was very good at needlework. She made all the cotton-padded clothes and trousers for her two daughters and the bedding for the whole family, stitch by stitch.

Du Shaojie suddenly had an idea that he must buy a sewing machine for Wang Yuxiu so that she wouldn't have to borrow someone else's sewing machine with a smile on her face whenever she needed it.

Before he knew it, he had already started thinking about the second "big item" for his home.

Sewing machines nowadays are not cheap. Take the popular "Flying Man" sewing machine for example, one costs more than 200 yuan. If Du Shaojie wants to buy one, it will cost him nearly half a year's salary.

Of course there are cheaper ones, but they will cost at least 180 yuan.

"Just save up slowly, and you'll eventually get enough."

Du Shaojie encouraged himself, thinking that if he was lucky, he would be able to get it by hosting more banquets.

at night.

He took stock of his harvest and found that two more dishes received an overall rating of "medium".

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: Level 3 Chef]

[Current works: Pickled pork intestines, stir-fried kidneys]

【Overall evaluation: Medium, Medium】

[Bonus: Complete Guide to Medicinal Food (III) (IV)]

[Rewards: Pork belly (4 kg), tripe (4 kg) Simulation training time (80 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

【Duration: 80 hours\1660】

The remaining 30 hours have been used up, and now there are only 80 hours left, which is very tight.

However, the large amount of consumption before was meaningful. When it comes to pork offal dishes, his cooking skills have reached a very high level.

Look, [Sour Cabbage and Pork Intestines] and [Stir-fried Kidney] both received an overall rating of "medium".

Almost there, he only needs one dish with an overall rating of "medium" to complete a new achievement. By then, the simulation training will be upgraded to advanced level, which will definitely bring him a big surprise.

In fact, there are already ten dishes that meet the requirements, but the types of [Stir-fried Pork Liver] and [Stir-fried Kidney] are highly overlapping, so one more dish of a different type with an overall evaluation of "medium" is needed to complete the achievement.

Then, he began to study various materials, gained a preliminary understanding of "medicinal diet", and then fell asleep.

It’s noon this day.

Du Shaojie, Chu Xiaowei and Wang Liwen took Xiaomei and Xiaoya to the hillside on the other side of the river.

Chu Xiaowei specifically found a gentle slope and then personally paved a safe snow path for several people to play sledding. There were two sleds brought to the mountain, and a wooden single board, which was roughly the same as a snowboard.

Wang Liwen took the two little girls on a sled, and Du Shaojie tried snowboarding. After falling a few times, he quickly mastered the essentials and could move freely on the snow.

Even Chu Xiaowei gave him a thumbs up. He didn't expect that this guy had such strong athletic talent.

After having fun until the afternoon, Xiaomei and Xiaoya reluctantly returned home. Du Shaojie and the others went to work, so it didn't matter if they were late, but they couldn't not go.

"Aunt Qin, why are you alone? Where's Sister Li?"

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I saw Qin Xiaomei busying herself alone.

They had steamed noodles in the evening. Although it was simple, she couldn't handle it alone, so Du Shaojie hurried forward to help.

"She was called away by the deputy director again. He said he wanted to talk to her. I don't know what they want to talk about over and over again. I think Lin Zuo has bad intentions. He probably wants to open a loophole in our cafeteria."

Qin Xiaomei is not stupid. Lin Zuo didn't look for anyone else but Li Guixiang. It would be strange if there was no problem.

Du Shaojie deeply agreed. No matter what Li Guixiang's attitude was, Lin Zuo's purpose was obvious. Whether it was to divide and disintegrate, or to really persuade Li Guixiang, it was not a good thing.

Li Guixiang has a heavy family burden and she is not on good terms with Du Shaojie and Qin Xiaomei over work targets, so it is not surprising that she is pulled over by Lin Zuo.

But these are all speculations, we need to wait and see.
