Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 59: Inquire about information
"Today's wedding banquet was great, wasn't it?"

Qin Xiaomei went to wash the dishes, and Chu Xiaowei asked casually.

"It's OK. Everyone is quite satisfied with the food."

Du Shaojie would not pretend to be humble in front of Chu Xiaowei and his wife, so he told the truth.

Chu Xiaowei nodded. He had a personal experience of Du Shaojie's cooking skills and also had blind confidence in him.

"The director hasn't come back today. I heard it's a serious matter. You can go back tomorrow and ask about it. Alas, you are not as poor as us. You still have to actively strive to return to the city as soon as possible."

Chu Xiaowei said that people on the farm are talking about all kinds of things now, and rumors are flying everywhere.

He said that he didn't care, but he was still unsure in his heart. Who knew whether Zhao Dajun would continue to work on the farm in the future?

If Zhao Dajun left, the couple's life would not be so comfortable.

"Well, I'll go back and ask someone. Uncle Chu, I think after this meeting, many things will be settled. There's no point in being anxious, just wait for the news."

Du Shaojie knew his situation. As long as Wu Mingde was not transferred or lost his power, he would have no good days.

But he was very calm in his heart. After all, he knew some major trends that others didn't know. Probably in less than two years, everything would be very different.

"You are calm. Look at Lin Zuo. He has been going to the police station these days, but he is not here today."

Chu Xiaowei curled his lips, really not understanding what this young man was thinking.

He and Qin Xiaomei both regarded Du Shaojie as a friend, and sincerely hoped that the other party would not bury his talent in this remote corner.

After Qin Xiaomei came back from washing the dishes, the couple said goodbye and left.

Du Shaojie had asked for leave from Zhao Dajun a few days ago. If it hadn't been delayed by the wedding banquet, he would have gone home on Thursday.

Before falling asleep, he took stock of the day's gains.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: Apprentice (third year)】

【Current works: (Stewed meat, stuffed with sand), (Small crispy pork, sweet and sour carp)】

[Overall evaluation: poor, very poor]

[Bonus: Food Identification Encyclopedia (II) (III) (IV) (V)]

[Rewards: Beef ribs (4 kg), pork chops (2 kg), simulation training time (60 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

The harvest was quite good. A total of four dishes were decent, two were rated “poor” overall, and two were rated “very bad” overall.

However, all stews, whether [mutton stew] or [beef stew], are counted as one dish. In addition, dishes with sand fillings are also counted as one dish and will not be counted twice.

【Duration: 190 hours\270 hours】

The remaining time for simulation training has increased to 190 hours, which is enough for a while.

"Go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Du Shaojie fell asleep immediately and had sweet dreams the whole night. He couldn't see what the girl in his dream looked like, but the hazy feeling made his heart beat even more.

When he got up in the morning, he went to the river to take a cold shower. When he came back, he washed all the dirty clothes he had taken off.

The weather is hot and dry now, and the clothes hung out to dry will be dry by noon at the latest.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie went to the canteen and worked until noon before he returned to the dormitory to pack up. He had to bring two pots of cooking oil and a bag of rice home this time. Qin Xiaomei had asked him to bring some vegetables back, but he refused.

There is no way to carry it. There are too many things and they are heavy. It is really troublesome.

In the afternoon, he left the farm on the bus.

I talked to the driver, and he was a nice guy. After entering the city, he took a short detour and dropped Du Shaojie off at the entrance of the alley.

It's easy once you get here. You know most of the neighbors here. You can just call a boy to help you and get the things to your doorstep.

"Xiaomei."

Du Shaojie shouted and Xiaomei came out and opened the gate.

"Brother, you're back? Let me help you get your things." When Xiaomei saw her brother, a smile instantly broke out on her face.

She and Du Shaojie put the rice and cooking oil in the kitchen, and then walked into the main house.

"elder brother!"

Xiaoya jumped over and started to cling to him again.

"Xiaoya, let your brother wash his face first. Xiaojie, take a rest first, I'll get you something to eat."

Wang Yuxiu didn't have any good idea about what to do with her little daughter, so she said something casually and went to the kitchen.

Xiaomei prepared some water for her brother to wash his face, and Du Shaojie felt more energetic after washing his face. The bus broke down twice on the way, and he even got off to help push the bus once, which was very tiring.

Wang Yuxiu cooked roasted eggplant and poached eggs, heated up two steamed buns, and brought them into the house.

Du Shaojie began to eat ravenously. He was so hungry that everything tasted delicious to him.

"Xiaomei, will Sister Yanzi come tonight?"

"After we had summer vacation, Sister Yanzi sometimes came in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. Sister Mikoto would occasionally come over after dinner."

After dinner, Xiaomei went to wash the dishes. Du Shaojie stood at the kitchen door and chatted with his elder sister for a few words, then turned around and fetched two buckets of water.

He didn't go anywhere at night. He just chatted with his family and then took a shower and went to bed.

the next day.

Du Shaojie got up early as usual.

He ran to buy some vegetables, and took out 1 kg of rabbit meat and 2 kg of pork chops from the storage space and put them in the kitchen. He also did not touch the beef and beef ribs, and would deal with them later.

He plans to make [braised spare ribs] at noon and [braised rabbit meat] in the evening.

Then after saying something to Wang Yuxiu, Du Shaojie rode his bicycle straight to the canteen of the bureau.

If you want to get information, just look for Liao Yongxin. Even though he is just a master chef in the company, he is well-informed and nothing can be hidden from him.

"Is Xiao Du here? Master Liao is in the back enjoying the cool air. Go find him."

After entering the cafeteria, the second chef greeted Du Shaojie, then pointed to the back door with a smile.

"I just got back last night, and I came here to take a look around when I had nothing to do. You go ahead and do your thing, I'll go talk to Master Liao."

Du Shaojie felt that the second chef's attitude towards him was much better than before. He greeted him with a smile and he responded politely.

Then he walked out through the back door.

"Master Du, are you basking in the sun?"

Liao Yongxin moved a stool and sat in the shade to rest, then turned around and saw Du Shaojie.

"It's a hot day, you are really trying to piss me off, right?"

Liao Yongxin jumped up and gave Du Shaojie a slap on the neck, then said, "Come on, let's go home and sit down."

The cafeteria hadn't started to work yet, so Du Shaojie followed Liao Yongxin to his home.

"You're back here to get some information, right? They've been holding meetings for a few days, and they should be finished this afternoon. Let me briefly tell you that the Electric Power Industry Bureau and the Coal Industry Bureau have been formally established, and the positions of the leaders have also been decided."

Liao Yongxin boiled water and made a pot of tea, then talked about the important things.

The Heavy Industry Bureau was split into two, the newly established Electric Power Industry Bureau inherited the existing site, and the Coal Industry Bureau moved and was newly built.

At present, the office building and staff quarters of the Coal Industry Bureau are still under construction, and the other party is temporarily working in the Coal School.

Director Wu Mingde remains in office, and his former deputy, Deputy Director Xu, has been transferred to become director of the Coal Industry Bureau.

"Damn it! I was hoping Wu Mingde could be transferred, but now it's still the same old story."

Du Shaojie swore rarely. His previous hopes were dashed. It seemed that he would have to stay in Laolonghe Farm for another two years.

"It can't be said that the substance remains the same after a change of name. Wu Mingde was given a new deputy, who took away a considerable portion of his authority. What was that person's name? Look at my memory. Oh, I think his name is Huang Yicheng."

Liao Yongxin slapped his forehead and revealed the key information.
