Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Early the next morning, the two woke up almost at the same time.

Seeing that the other party was fine, Liang Meiqin went back to the house to wash up.

"Drinking makes things worse!"

Du Shaojie was inspired and lay down for 20 more minutes before getting up.

weekend.

A notice was posted on the store door announcing the suspension of business for one day.

Today, Director Luo invited Du Shaojie to his home for dinner and asked him to bring Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin along.

"Director Luo, is there anything I can do for you?"

Du Shaojie was very conscious and prepared to go to the kitchen as soon as he entered the house.

Director Luo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You are the guest today, so you don't need to cook. I specially invited a Cantonese chef today, and you just wait to eat the ready-made food. In addition, Xiao Cai will be here soon."

Since someone else is already in charge of the cooking, Du Shaojie certainly won't force himself to step in.

He chatted with Liang Meiqin and Xiaomei for a while, and they both relaxed a little.

The people living in this compound are not ordinary people. When they came in, they felt something was wrong. The inspection was very strict. When they met Director Luo, his aura intimidated them again.

Liang Meiqin and Xiaomei are somewhat knowledgeable, so they appear quite restrained.

It was not until Cai Jing came that they started talking more.

The dishes for the evening were mainly seafood. Although Du Shaojie did not meet the chef himself, he could tell from the dishes themselves that he must be a Cantonese chef with quite good skills.

During the dinner, Du Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin each toasted Director Luo and expressed their gratitude.

Director Luo asked someone to secretly take care of Du Xiaomei at school, and at the same time helped Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin contact a doctor. It would be very rude if they remained indifferent.

"Master Du, I went to the construction site yesterday and saw that the project has entered the main construction phase. The entire project will be completed before June 1st at the latest."

Cai Jing received the inspection team from Dongsheng Electronics in Shenzhen. The two parties have signed a letter of intent and are just waiting for the project to be implemented.

Thanks to Du Shaojie's help, she got to know Yu Mo.

Therefore, she was very concerned about Du Shaojie's affairs and would visit the construction site every now and then, which made the construction unit quite nervous.

"Director Cai, I'm sorry to bother you. But I'm not in a hurry for the deadline. Slow work produces fine results."

Du Shaojie felt a little embarrassed. He had been here for such a long time but only went to see her once. Instead, Cai Jing paid more attention to her than he did.

Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin were confused as to what was being said, but Director Luo knew the inside story and there was no need for him to interrupt.

"Xiao Cai, how is your work lately?"

Director Luo took the initiative to change the subject and asked about Cai Jing's work situation.

Everyone knows that attracting investment is not easy, and Cai Jing has complained to him many times before.

"Not bad. Master Du introduced me to Ms. Yu Mo from Dongsheng Electronics. I have already reached an agreement with their company. The investment of 2000 million Hong Kong dollars should be a sure thing."

Speaking of this, Cai Jing smiled at Du Shaojie.

Director Luo feels very gratified that the little ones who used to rely on their wings for protection from the wind and rain have now grown up.

"It's none of my business. I just helped to make some connections. Whether it can be successful depends mainly on your own negotiations."

Du Shaojie doesn't think he played a big role in it, and most of the time he is still very objective.

Director Luo and Cai Jing smiled at each other and stopped talking about this topic.

After eating and drinking, everyone got up and said goodbye.

Cai Jing had a car, so she sent them back along the way, and then she had to go see Yu Mo. Nowadays, anyone who can invest in the mainland is a big shot, and even Cai Jing has to lower her profile.

It was still early, so Du Shaojie and others got off the bus halfway and walked around the street.

The afternoon passed quickly. After all, they were young and had already digested the food they had eaten at noon. Passing by a grilled squid stall, Xiaomei asked for some, so Du Shaojie bought a few skewers.

The taste was average, but Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin both enjoyed it very much.

We didn't have a proper dinner afterwards. We just bought whatever snacks we were interested in and ate them as we walked. By the time we sent Xiaomei to the school gate, we were all full.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin returned to the hotel.

After playing outside all day, everyone was a little tired. Liang Meiqin went to bed early, and Du Shaojie sat in the house thinking about how to make a breakthrough.

He has been very diligent recently, and has strengthened his training on some of his specialties in the simulated scenes, but the results are minimal. Instead, he gained some insights during the process of making the [roast duck] these days.

Du Shaojie thinks that the next step is to try more other dishes.

He feels that now we should raise the overall evaluation of as many dishes as possible to the level of "leaving a lingering taste in the mouth", and then there will be a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and a breakthrough is a matter of sooner or later.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie took stock of his gains over the past few days and found that he had made a considerable amount of income.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: Special Level 3 Chef]

[Current works: White-cut chicken (×7), roast duck (×5), fish-flavored shredded pork (×1)]

[Overall evaluation: lingering fragrance]

[Bonus: Simulated Chef Skills Competition Duration (26000 hours)]

[Rewards: Exchange points (2600 points), simulation training time (26000 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

[Exchange points: 9018 points\9466 points] [Duration: 77800 hours\154996 hours]

The accumulated income is considerable, but compared with the consumption, it is not too rich.

He then gave a comprehensive evaluation of the four dishes he had practiced making these days, including [Barbecued Pork], [Braised Suckling Pigeon], [Stir-fried Beef Noodles], and [Steamed Grouper], and all of them were elevated to the level of "leaving a lingering taste in the mouth".

In addition, the overall evaluation of some of the previous specialties, including [Big Plate Chicken], [Beef Stew], [Pepper and Spicy Chicken], [Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin], [Boiled Beef], and [Braised Pork Elbow with Red Dates], has also been elevated to the level of "leaving a lingering taste in the mouth".

There are ten dishes in total, which consume 1000 exchange points and 50000 hours.

Most of the newly earned money was spent before it could even warm up. But he couldn't say he felt bad about it. He thought that the exchange points and time were used to improve his cooking skills, which was definitely a good use of it.

[Exchange points: 8018 points\9466 points]

【Duration: 27800 hours\154996 hours】

The next step is to practice and gain as much understanding as possible.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie slept until dawn.

I got up in the morning, ate something, and then accompanied Liang Meiqin to the treatment.

Then he went to the store. He didn't buy any chickens or ducks today, so he planned to change to a new variety at noon.

After finishing the preparations, he wrote a line on the small blackboard at the door of the store: Today's service: Delicious barbecued pork rice.

"Eh? Chef Du has something new here? I know about barbecued pork rice, but what the hell is the Desolate and Ecstasy Barbecue Pork Rice?"

"You are so stupid. The Desolate Char Siu Rice is still the Char Siu Rice?"

"Let's go buy one and try it."

Near noon, a bunch of customers came into the store.

It is not difficult to make barbecued pork. It is first marinated and then grilled.

Cut the roasted barbecued pork into pieces, put some into a lunch box, and top it with some vegetables and a fried egg, and a serving of [Sadly Barbecue Pork Rice] is ready.

There were still 100 sets of meals prepared for lunch. Uncle Chai learned his lesson today and came early.

"Ajie, have you changed the variety again? I want two servings of barbecued pork rice."

Uncle Chai didn't complain today. The [Boiled Chicken] and [Roast Duck] have been sold for a few days. He estimated that the varieties would be updated in the new week, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.

He bought two servings of barbecued pork rice and ate them at home. He finally understood what "Sadly Barbecue Pork Rice" meant.

Simply put, it tastes great and you can't forget it once you try it.

Du Shaojie cut the barbecued pork, and Xiaomei came over just in time, so he and Liang Meiqin were responsible for packing and collecting money respectively. The 100 servings of [Sadly Barbecue Pork Rice] were quickly sold out.

Lunch was reserved for the three of them in advance. It was the first time for Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin to eat the barbecued pork rice made by Du Shaojie, and they enjoyed it very much.

"Shaojie, Mikoto"

After dinner, Xiaomei returned to school.

Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin were chatting and laughing, and were cleaning up the mess when Yu Mo suddenly walked in.

He had previously talked to Yu Mo about opening a store in this area, but he didn't expect that the other party could actually find a place.

"Come in and sit down. I'll be right there."

Du Shaojie smiled and invited Yu Mo into the house, then quickly cleaned up and boiled water to make tea.

"Chef Du, are you closing now?"

Yu Mo looked around and saw that it was just an ordinary small restaurant.

What made her feel a little strange was that Du Shaojie started cleaning just after noon, obviously he was going to close the shop.

"Yes, I'm only open for half a day. I'll close when the lunch is sold out."

Du Shaojie responded with a smile, almost making Yu Mo laugh.

"You're not doing business, you're just playing. I'm going to Shenzhen in a few days, and I happened to have nothing to do this afternoon, so I came to see you. I'll spend most of my time there, and less time in Guangzhou."

Yu Mo had no idea what Du Shaojie was planning, so he made a joke and changed the subject.

The company has reached an agreement with Shenzhen to invest in building a factory there, and all production departments will be moved out of Hong Kong. Therefore, she will spend more time in Shenzhen in the future.

Du Shaojie congratulated Yu Mo. According to his understanding, this was definitely a correct decision.

The few people chatted for more than an hour, and Yu Mo said that he wanted to invite Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin to dinner in the evening.

"Let me treat you. If you don't mind, I'll cook a few dishes tonight. Would you like to try them?"

Du Shaojie is still very grateful to Yu Mo. The other party basically responds to every request and is very reliable.

It just so happened that he also needed to practice, so he planned to cook a few dishes himself to entertain Yu Mo.

Yu Mo nodded repeatedly when she heard this. She had eaten Du Shaojie's dishes before, but that was many years ago, so she was still a little looking forward to it.

Du Shaojie asked Liang Meiqin to accompany Yu Mo while he went to the market to buy some vegetables.

Then we started working and quickly prepared the ingredients and condiments needed for four dishes and one soup.

Dinner started at six o'clock sharp, and [beef stew], [sweet and sour pork tenderloin], [braised pigeon], [lettuce with oyster sauce], and [yam and pork rib soup] were served on the table one after another.

Before, Yu Mo and Liang Meiqin were sitting there bored, so they went to the school to pick up Du Xiaomei.

After the four of them sat down, Yu Mo couldn't wait to taste Du Shaojie's cooking and was really shocked. (End of this chapter)
