Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 16: Criticizing Sang and Huai
Qi Guanghui opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for everyone.

The wine was a strong liquor. When my little cousin smelled it, she felt like she was getting drunk and quickly pushed the glass to her father.

Du Shaojie and Qi Yan can both drink a bit, but as for Fan Shuping, she is a "drinking hero" and neither Qi Guanghui can drink more than her.

"Come on, come on, eat some food first and try Xiaojie's cooking."

As the head of the family, Qi Guanghui invited everyone to start eating.

Although Fan Shuping is very powerful, she still gives her man face in front of outsiders.

"Huh? This plate of chicken is delicious, Lao Lu, try it, it tastes absolutely amazing."

My aunt Fan Yiping likes to eat chicken, so she took the lead in picking up a piece of chicken and putting it into her mouth.

I couldn’t stop eating this. I ate a few pieces of chicken and potatoes in succession and immediately felt refreshed.

At the same time, she did not forget to recommend it to her husband Lu Wei.

"Isn't it delicious? This big plate chicken is Shaojie's specialty! Dad, Mom, you should try it too, it tastes really good."

Qi Yan immediately felt very proud and smiled as she picked up a piece of chicken for each of her parents.

As a result, Qi Yan's parents, aunt, uncle-in-law and cousin all praised Du Shaojie's cooking skills.

The other dishes were also delicious, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became heated. Qi Guanghui and his wife and Lu Wei and his wife toasted each other, and a bottle of wine was almost empty.

"Xiao Du, it's a bit of a waste for you to stay in the canteen with your skills. If you have the opportunity, it would be best if you could be transferred to a state-owned restaurant. Only there can you show your skills."

After Lu Wei drank a few glasses of wine, he talked a lot more.

Although it was the first time he met Du Shaojie, he was deeply impressed by his cooking skills.

It was hard to respond to this, so Du Shaojie stood up and toasted his elders with a glass of wine, then ate his meal. There was no point in pretending to be nice at this time, if he wanted to eat, he would not eat, if he wanted to eat, he would eat until he was full, being shy was not his character.

After quickly filling his stomach, he said goodbye.

Families always have some family matters to talk about, and it's not appropriate for an outsider to be there.

This time, Fan Shuping did not try to persuade him to stay. She politely asked Qi Yan to send Du Shaojie out. When he was leaving, she even forced a large hairtail fish on him, weighing at least two or three kilograms.

Du Shaojie did not refuse. After greeting everyone, he walked out with Qi Yan.

"Shaojie, thank you for what you did today."

Although Qi Yan only drank one glass of wine, her face was flushed.

Today, my aunt and her family had a very happy meal. Not only did she have a happy face, but her parents were happy too, right?

In fact, Qi Yan is not really a "little gangster", she is still very family-oriented.

"What are you talking about? We have been friends since childhood. Yan Zi, don't send her back, or I will have to send you back later. Go back and thank Aunt Fan for me."

Du Shaojie smiled and pointed to the bag of hairtail hanging on the handlebars, then jumped into the car and sped away.

Qi Yan stood there for a while, and only turned around and went home when the other person's figure disappeared.

at night.

Du Shaojie began to take stock of today's gains.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: Apprentice (third year)】

【Current work: Big plate chicken】

【Overall evaluation: medium to low】

[Bonus: How to make Kung Pao Chicken]

[Reward: One Luhua Chicken (3 kg)]

[Special rewards: rapeseed oil (5 kg), 5% flour (5 kg), rice (5 kg), peanuts ( kg)]

Note: The current work has broken through the level and triggered special rewards. It is a great harvest, absolutely a great harvest.

Since the evaluation of Dapanji has risen from low to medium, it has triggered a special reward. Rice, flour and oil are the most basic needs, and with the Chinese New Year approaching, this is a timely help.

Du Shaojie couldn't help but think of Qi Yan. This Yan Zi was really his little lucky star.

However, there were some regrets today. Apart from the big plate chicken, the other dishes were not up to standard.

In his previous life, he didn't like eating hairtail, so he didn't know how to cook it. Although he had seen Liao Yongxin cook it before, he was busy at the time, so he didn't learn much from taking a few glances.

Not to mention other cold dishes and vegetarian dishes, the simpler the dishes, the harder it is to make them stand out. Ultimately, it’s all due to lack of practice.

At this moment, Du Shaojie once again put himself in the right position, and his slightly dizzy mind calmed down. He felt that he had just embarked on the road of being a chef, and he still had to work harder in the future.

After receiving the reward, he simply put some of the rice, flour and oil into the kitchen.

The egret chicken is processed and can be frozen first.

The company is going to distribute benefits these days. It is said that Director Wu has already set the tone to keep everything simple. These rewards can make up for the reduction this year, and I won’t have to ask questions all the time.

Du Shaojie then watched the teaching materials of "Kung Pao Chicken" twice and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Dai Tong notified the canteen staff to collect their benefits.

Dai Jianguo always feels annoyed and irritated at this time. After all, temporary workers have no benefits, but apprentices do.

The welfare distribution location was in the backyard, and Du Shaojie met Wang Liwen while walking on the road.

"Xiao Du, have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? Have you felt chest tightness and shortness of breath recently?"

The two hadn't met for a while. When Wang Liwen saw Du Shaojie, she remembered what happened last time.

So she asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Dr. Wang. I've been fine lately and I'm in good health."

Du Shaojie didn't think there was anything wrong with his body, but the other person meant well, so he smiled and thanked him.

Wang Liwen looked him up and down and thought he looked good, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The two walked to the backyard together, and Section Chief Zhang came towards them carrying a bag of sweet potatoes. The other person's face was not very good, and they nodded to each other and passed by.

This year, the welfare provided by the bureau is five kilograms of sweet potatoes per person, nothing else.

I don’t know how many people are cursing Director Wu behind his back. In the past, at least we could have some meat and fish, even if not much, but it could be an addition to the New Year’s Eve dinner, right?

Now, everyone roasts and eats sweet potatoes on New Year’s Eve, which is very festive.

Du Shaojie had expected this, and it was not his place as a small apprentice to complain about this kind of thing.

After collecting his share of benefits, he quickly returned to the cafeteria.

As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I heard Liao Yongxin swearing.

"Langge, you bastard, you're handing out sweet potatoes during Chinese New Year. Are you asking everyone to fart about sweet potatoes from the end of the year to the beginning of the year?"

Dai Tong stood aside awkwardly, not knowing whether to respond or not.

Liao Yongxin was obviously making a veiled attack, so he was naturally not afraid of the other party passing on the message.

Du Shaojie lowered his head and smiled, put away the bag of sweet potatoes in his hand, and started to busy himself with his work.

This time, the unit brought back two truckloads of sweet potatoes. Apart from distributing them as welfare benefits, the rest were given to the canteen.

Liao Yongxin was in a bad mood and temporarily changed the lunch items to corn and sweet potato porridge with roasted sweet potatoes, without even cornmeal steamed buns.

Dai Tong couldn't do anything to Liao Yongxin, so he could only go to his brother-in-law to complain.
