Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 142 Surprises are Everywhere
Du Shaojie went to wash up, then wrote a reply to Qi Yan and put it in an envelope, then put an 8-cent stamp on it, planning to mail it tomorrow.

Then he lay down on the bed.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: First-class chef】

[Exchange points: 1275 points\1304 points]

【Duration: 3600 hours\28456 hours】

I opened the light curtain and took a look. The current exchange points and duration were sufficient.

Recently, he has been working hard with Liao Yongxin to learn traditional Sichuan cuisine. Although it takes a lot of time, it also pays off. After deducting the time, he still has 3600 hours left.

Afterwards, he entered a simulated training scenario to continue gaining experience.

The next day.

Du Shaojie took a leave of absence.

However, he did not sleep in. After breakfast, he sent Xiaomei and Xiaoya to the school gate, and then rode his bike to the old house in Chunfeng Lane.

Soon after arriving at the old house, Su Dapeng arrived on a tricycle with 40 white-striped chickens on board. Needless to say, they were definitely used to make Dezhou Braised Chicken.

"You're here pretty early, let's get to work!"

Du Shaojie helped the other party move the white-striped chicken into the kitchen. While Su Dapeng went to fetch water, he began to wash the chicken.

It was troublesome not to have running water. Su Dapeng ran back and forth many times before there was enough water.

After washing the chicken and draining the water, Du Shaojie began to marinate it.

"Have you learned it?"

While working, Du Shaojie explained to Su Dapeng that the threshold for making braised dishes is relatively low, and the key is the recipe.

Of course, Su Dapeng would not ask his childhood friend for the recipe. If he didn't even have this much self-awareness, how could he survive in society? If he really wanted to make it himself, Du Shaojie would definitely help him prepare all the spices in advance.

"I've watched it so many times, and I remember the process. But I'm afraid that what I make won't be the same, and I'll end up ruining your reputation."

Su Dapeng just wanted to make some extra money, not open a store, so it didn't matter whether he could make it or not.

Du Shaojie was in a good mood today. He asked Su Dapeng to work with him, teaching him how to marinate and then fry and shape the food.

During the stewing process, you need to observe the changes in the ingredients. They must be soft and tasty but not overcooked.

"Okay, all that's left is to soak it. You have the key to the yard, just come and get it tomorrow."

The two of them stayed here for a whole day, but they were not busy all the time. There was actually nothing to do when the food was stewing. They would check on the heat every once in a while. Most of the time, they both rested in the house.

Su Dapeng brought lunch and dinner from home. All the stoves here were occupied, making it difficult to cook.

When the chicken was almost cooked, Du Shaojie sealed the furnace and rode back to his new home. He felt that he had performed very well today and had some new ideas for the preparation of [Dezhou Braised Chicken].

at night.

Du Shaojie checked today's harvest and couldn't help but grin.

He himself couldn't remember how many [Dezhou Braised Chicken] he had made, but the number was definitely not small, at least 800.

Now that I have finally taken another step forward, how can I not be happy?
【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: First-class chef】

【Current work: Dezhou Braised Chicken】

【Overall evaluation: Top】

[Bonus: Simulated Chef Skills Competition Duration (100 hours)]

[Rewards: Exchange points (10 points), simulation training time (100 hours)]

[Special Reward: Enable cash exchange function]

Note 1: Breaking through the current ceiling of comprehensive evaluation of dishes will trigger special rewards.

Note 2: The types of items redeemed in the mall have been increased, and the cash redemption function at redemption points (one-way) has been enabled. One redemption point can be redeemed for 2 yuan in cash, with no limit.

Note 3: The types of redemption items and cash exchange rates are subject to adjustment from time to time.

[Exchange points: 1285 points\1314 points]

【Duration: 3780 hours\28656 hours】

It was not easy, but the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] I made today received an overall rating of "good". This was also the highest level of overall rating so far, and he didn't know what changes would happen in the future.

Du Shaojie has rarely used up his exchange points, but now he has enabled the function of exchanging exchange points for cash.

After careful calculation, exchanging cash is not very meaningful. He still has 1285 points left, which is equivalent to 2570 yuan in cash. It is more cost-effective to exchange for some precious ingredients or kitchen utensils.

Of course, this thing cannot be said to be useless. It can be used for emergency or even life-saving purposes at critical moments.

A penny can make a hero fall, and you never know when you might need it.

In general, the biggest role of the golden finger for him is to gain "experience", which has brought him great help whether it is simulation training or simulation chef skills competition.

After closing the light curtain, Du Shaojie fell asleep directly.

After this day, I can’t say how tired I am, but I still feel a little exhausted.

The next day.

After breakfast, Wang Xuejun organized everyone to continue studying the communiqué.

The study time is only one hour, and after that everyone should get busy.

"You guys go about your business. I want to tell you something. This Saturday, the bureau will hold a staff dinner in the office cafeteria. We need to send some people from the Chinese restaurant to support us.

Master Du, you came from the canteen of the government office, so you are more familiar with that place, so you can lead the team. Also, you can select five helpers and go over to help early Saturday morning. "

Yao Liwen rushed in before the show ended and assigned a task to Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie had no reason to refuse, so he said, "Manager Yao, just leave this matter to me, no problem." Yao Liwen said no more, then called Wang Xuejun out and went away for an unknown place.

"Huang Tingting, Xiao Jianjun, Deng Gang, Gao Guoqiang, Yang Li, the five of you will come with me to the bureau on Saturday. No one is allowed to take leave that day. Do you understand?"

Du Shaojie was asked to choose the people himself, and he picked five educated youth who had just started working.

After observing for a period of time, he found that these educated youth who returned to the city were quick learners, hardworking and capable, and they all left a good impression on him.

Since they were going to help anyway, Du Shaojie decided to take them to see the world.

"Understood, Master Du!"

Although they are about the same age, Du Shaojie is a first-class chef and they are just apprentices, so they all behaved very respectfully.

Du Shaojie nodded and said no more. Huang Tingting and others also went about their own business.

Near noon, someone came to look for him. When he went out, he saw Wang Liwen.

"Sister Liwen, when did you come back? You didn't even send a telegram to let me know when something important happened, but when you had nothing to do, you sent a telegram for fun."

"I sent you a telegram unexpectedly last time because I wanted to give you a surprise. And I didn't tell you my return date in advance this time because I also wanted to give you a surprise. How is it? Is it a surprise? Is it unexpected?"

Wang Liwen smiled sweetly, causing Du Shaojie to roll his eyes.

Bad taste, absolutely bad taste.

However, he was still very happy to see the other party.

"Surprise? More like a shock. You go back first, I'll come find you after I finish the things I'm doing. I'll make lunch, you just wait and eat the ready-made food."

"Yeah, I want to eat a big plate of chicken belt noodles. Remember to bring two servings back."

The Chinese restaurant was bustling with people, and the two men only exchanged a few words before turning away.

Du Shaojie went to the kitchen to continue working, while Wang Liwen returned to her own residence.

After Du Shaojie finished taking care of the orders, he said to Dong Yunxian, "Master Dong, I have something to do at noon, so I'll have to leave early. Can you please cover for me?"

Dong Yunxian smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to go do what he should do.

Du Shaojie ordered two large plates of chicken belt noodles and rode his bike to Wang Liwen's house.

The two of them were very happy while eating and chatting.

Wang Liwen went out for further studies for half a year. When she saw Du Shaojie again, the immaturity on his face had completely faded away and he had become a completely awesome young man.

Actually, it’s strange to say, Wang Liwen often ignores Du Shaojie’s age because he always behaves maturely and steadily.

After dinner, Wang Liwen washed the lunch box by the sink.

Du Shaojie walked over and gently hugged her from behind, whispering, "I missed you after walking for so long."

"I missed you, too. Otherwise I wouldn't have sent you a telegram."

The two stood there quietly without taking any further action.

At this time, the water on the stove boiled and the kettle made a sharp whistle. Du Shaojie then let go and quickly filled the kettle with water and made a pot of tea.

"I'm taking a break today. Can you come over for dinner tonight? I'll go shopping for groceries in the afternoon."

Du Shaojie had to go to work in the afternoon, so he stood up and said goodbye when he saw that it was almost time.

Wang Liwen sent him to the door and told him to come back after get off work.

"Uh-huh."

Du Shaojie nodded, then rode away on his bike.

The relationship between the two is very complicated, and even the two parties cannot explain it clearly.

night.

Wang Liwen got to eat the dishes made by Du Shaojie as she wished. These simple home-cooked dishes completely conquered her taste buds.

Satisfied!

This is the only word she could use to describe her mood at the moment.

"Bang bang bang!"

However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door. Wang Liwen opened the door and saw that it was a few young nurses.

These nurses have a good relationship with Wang Liwen. They heard that she had returned from further studies, so they made an appointment to come and see her.

After entering the room, several young nurses were stunned. It seemed that they came at the wrong time?
"Everyone, sit down. What are you thinking about? This is Du Shaojie, the chef of the Chinese restaurant at Guangyuan Hotel. We used to be colleagues, and now we are friends."

Wang Liwen knew what these young nurses were thinking at a glance, so she introduced the two parties openly to avoid others from thinking too much.

Du Shaojie smiled and greeted the young nurses, then said, "Doctor Wang, I should go back too, you guys chat."

Wang Liwen did not stop him. She sent him to the door and then returned to the house.

"He's quite handsome, and has a good figure."

"I'm not worthy of her, but I'm quite a good match for Sister Wang."

The young nurse joked with Wang Liwen a few times, but she didn't mind.

Afterwards, Wang Liwen calmly changed the topic, and several nurses started chatting about what had happened at work recently, and they couldn't stop talking.

Time flies and soon it is Saturday.

In the morning, Du Shaojie brought Huang Tingting, Xiao Jianjun and five other people to the canteen of the Electric Power Industry Bureau.

Banquets are a must-do for all units and can be considered a welfare benefit. The year-end bonuses that are popular in later generations do not exist at this time.

However, the newspapers have been discussing the distribution of more work, more pay, and bonuses were mentioned. It is said that some places in the south have quietly started to distribute bonuses, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
