Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Boss, why is the [beef noodles] you make so delicious?"

Wang Yongxin has breakfast in the store every day. Even though he eats the same thing every day, he doesn’t feel sick of it at all. Instead, he wants to eat it again.

Du Shaojie pointed to the soup bucket, meaning that whether this bowl of noodles is delicious or not depends entirely on this pot of soup.

Another thing is that the beef selected by Wang Yongli is very fresh. After proper processing and paired with good soup, it naturally tastes delicious.

“Don’t underestimate snacks, but it’s not easy to make them well.”

Du Shaojie didn't do this for fun, as this kind of snack really tests the chef's seasoning skills.

The key is to hone his cooking skills in details. He now needs to hone his cooking skills from the details, and then he can take his cooking skills to the next level.

He can see the big picture from the small details and the profoundness from the subtle ones, which shows that his cooking skills have reached a considerable level.

Without spending any money, 10 days after he arrived in Duanzhou, the Chaozhou Beef Noodles he made received an overall evaluation of "a delicious delicacy".

Unfortunately, you can only get rewards once a day for the same dish.

After working until noon, Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli closed the store, found a restaurant to have lunch, and then went back to take a nap.

Before he knew it, Du Shaojie had been in Duanzhou for almost a month.

He liked this underdeveloped city very much. Since he had half a day free every day, he would often ask Wang Yongli to drive him to Dinghushan for a tour.

The air in the mountains is fresh and the scenery is pleasant. Climbing mountains regularly is both a form of exercise and a form of relaxation.

This month, the obvious gains are not much, only an increase of 10000 redemption points and 20 hours of general time, but some invisible gains are particularly gratifying.

For example, when it comes to seasoning, he can now grasp some subtle changes very well, and the layers are more three-dimensional and rich.

The time consumed was not much. A total of 3 hours were consumed during this period, all of which were spent on simulation training.

evening.

Wang Yongli went to buy a few rice dumplings. This kind of steamed rice dumpling is a specialty of Duanzhou and is very delicious.

Sometimes Du Shaojie doesn’t want to eat out, and a zongzi can replace a meal.

"Wynn, let's sell out the store in the next two days. It's time for us to leave."

Du Shaojie planned to leave the area. After this period of precipitation, he was more confident in the examination for culinary technicians. After all, he would not be satisfied until he reached the pinnacle of his profession.

He is currently a special first-class chef, and there are two more levels behind him: cooking technician and senior cooking technician.

Other titles such as "Master Chef", "Chef God", etc. do not belong to the formal chef level, but are more like an honor.

"Okay, I'll put the notice up tomorrow."

Since we are going to sell the store, we will cease operations from now on.

Wang Yongli is a little reluctant to leave this small shop. The beef noodles made by the boss are so delicious, but he is afraid that he will not be able to eat them in the future.

In fact, he was not the only one who was reluctant to leave the shop. After the notice was posted the next day, groups of people gathered to watch.

Many people can’t understand why this store, which is doing such good business, is closed?

In the next few days, Du Shaojie spent the whole day traveling and sightseeing.

Duanzhou’s river seafood is very famous. He has been to almost all the good local restaurants and found them to be delicious and there is a lot he can learn from them.

Wang Yongli has a more miserable life. He needs to deal with the transfer of storefronts and keep an eye on it every day.

Many people came to inquire, but most of them disappeared after asking. Among them, a young couple came several times and seemed to be very interested in this store.

"We've made breakfast together before, and we've also had your beef noodles, which taste really good. Brother Wang, can you let us meet the boss? We want to ask him a favor."

The two had been to the restaurant to eat beef noodles before and knew that Wang Yongli was not the boss.

They had a bold idea and wanted to get some advice from the boss, then take over the store and do the same project.

Wang Yongli had not agreed. He felt that he would be scolded for bothering Mr. Du for such a small matter. Besides, the storefront was sold at cost price, and there was no "transfer fee" or anything like that.

It should be transferred out soon.

As a result, Wang Yongli underestimated the couple's tenacity and they pestered him almost every day, which made him very annoyed.

At noon that day, Du Shaojie came back from outside and wanted to call Wang Yongli to have lunch together, but he was blocked by the couple.

"Boss, please, just give us some pointers. We don't ask for the beef noodles we make to be the same as yours, but we will keep doing it even if it's only one or two points better than yours."

The couple were in their twenties and judging by their attire, their financial situation should be average.

But there is a kind of energy in these two people. To put it bluntly, they are willing to beg others for mercy in order to achieve their goals. They can say anything nice to others, and they are just short of kneeling down and kowtowing.

"You two, you are being too shameless, aren't you? I'm just a shop owner, do you expect me to teach you everything? Of course, I can give you some pointers, but let me ask you, are you familiar with the local area?"

Du Shaojie didn't dislike these two people. People who can humble themselves and fight for opportunities can generally succeed unless they are too unlucky.

It was no big deal to give some pointers casually. He just wanted to take a good look around Duanzhou, and it would be best if he had a guide who was familiar with the local conditions. "Thank you, boss! We are both locals, so we are naturally familiar with the local area."

The couple looked at each other, and surprise unconsciously revealed in their eyes.

As long as the boss doesn't refuse outright, there is hope.

"Okay! You two will accompany me to take a good walk around the city. I like the natural scenery, cultural relics, and delicious food. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The two were a little confused about what Du Shaojie did, but it didn't matter as long as they could achieve their goal.

So, the couple acted as guides, Wang Yongli drove, and Du Shaojie spent a week visiting some places he had never been to, such as the Baiyun Temple hidden deep in the mountains, and small specialty restaurants that are difficult for outsiders to find.

The couple was happy to sign the store transfer agreement right away and paid all the money.

Du Shaojie did not hide his secrets and gave the couple a detailed explanation of everything from the selection of beef to the preparation of the soup base and the final seasoning.

How much they can learn depends on their ability. Even if the beef noodles they make are only two or three times as good as Du Shaojie's, their business will definitely be good.

The couple thanked him profusely, but Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously.

"Boss Du, please leave us your address. We will send you some local specialties during the holidays. It is also our token of appreciation. Please do not refuse. We will never forget your kindness in passing on your art."

The couple was very grateful to Du Shaojie and finally got the other party's address after much pestering.

The address was that of the courtyard where Du Shaojie lived in Yangcheng Old Street. He thought the couple were nice people and if they were destined to be together, they would have dealings with each other in the future.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli left Duanzhou and drove back to Yangcheng.

He did not lose contact with the company while he was outside, and he would call Meng Gang, Su Dapeng, Liao Yongxin and others from time to time.

Therefore, everyone has become accustomed to his erratic whereabouts. When encountering emergencies, he will first give verbal authorization and then sign the documents.

weekend.

It happened that Cai Jing and Liang Meiqin came to Yangcheng for business, so Du Shaojie cooked a table of dishes at home and invited the retired Director Luo to come over. It was a rare occasion for several old friends to get together.

"Shaojie, your cooking skills are so advanced now that we are not qualified to judge you."

"Isn't it? He is a true master. It is a blessing to be able to eat the food he cooks."

Director Luo and Cai Jing sang the same tune, which was actually an affirmation of Du Shaojie.

The two of them watched each other grow step by step, so their feelings are deeper than others.

"Director Luo, Sister Cai, please stop teasing me. Come, let's drink."

What Du Shaojie cooked today was [Chaozhou cuisine], and each dish was exquisite.

As the saying goes, "Eat better, eat better". Today's dishes have subtle changes in seasoning, making them more layered and memorable. When his cooking skills have reached this level, it is no longer possible to improve them by repetitive training.

If you want to improve your skills, you can only rely on "understanding".

Just as Zhou Huai'en said, cooking is no longer a mechanical repetition, but a spiritual one. Seize the moment of inspiration and create new dishes or make breakthroughs in techniques and seasoning.

During this trip to Duanzhou, Du Shaojie achieved a breakthrough in seasoning in that ordinary little shop.

After eating and drinking, Director Luo was the first to say goodbye and leave.

"Shaojie, I have to go too. Meiqin, you stay and help him clean up. I don't have any work arrangements tonight. You wait for me in the hotel lobby at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Cai Jing had some personal matters to attend to in the evening, so she did not bring Liang Meiqin with her.

Liang Meiqin happened to be able to stay with Du Shaojie for one night. The two hadn't been together for quite a while, so a fierce clash was inevitable.

"Misaki, isn't it too tiring to follow Sister Cai?"

After the two of them gradually calmed down, Du Shaojie asked Liang Meiqin.

Cai Jing is a workaholic, and he doesn't want Mikoto to become like that.

"It's okay. I'm mainly promoting the [Lijing Garden] project during this period. I won't be so busy after a while."

Liang Meiqin told Du Shaojie that she and Cai Jing went to Hong Kong several times last month for promotion.

The effect is obvious. Many Hong Kong people who run businesses and factories in Shenzhen are very interested in [Lijing Garden]. According to statistics, the purchase intention has reached more than 8% of the actual number of houses in the community.

With the successful experience of the previous project, Cai Jing is like a duck in water in the real estate industry and has great potential for development.

"That's fine. I don't want you to become a workaholic. It's getting late and you have things to do tomorrow. Go to bed early."

Du Shaojie put his worries aside, and the two of them fell into a deep sleep.

the next day.

Du Shaojie personally drove Liang Meiqin to the hotel and picked up Wang Yongli on the way back.

Wang Yongli sent his boss home, then washed the car, refueled it and did some maintenance. (End of this chapter)
