Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 6 Who teaches whom?

Seeing that Du Shaojie did not refute, Old Cai smiled and walked up to him and pulled him out of the back door of the cafeteria.

There was a tricycle parked outside. Old Cai jumped on it skillfully and shouted, "Xiao Du, get on."

Du Shaojie got on the tricycle, sat on the edge and went to the backyard of the unit.

The canteen had a large vegetable cellar in the backyard, built like a bunker. When they reached the end of the field, Lao Cai stopped the car, got out, took the key and opened the door of the vegetable cellar.

The smell in the vegetable cellar was bad, like the smell of rotting vegetable leaves.

Old Cai reached out and touched the electric switch beside the door, then turned on the light, and the two of them walked in one after the other.

The canteens of work units, like ordinary people's homes, need to store winter vegetables for the winter. Now it is better than before, when the canteens used to raise pigs, as evidenced by the abandoned pigsty next to the vegetable cellar.

The two men moved some cabbages and potatoes from the vegetable cellar and put them into the tricycle. Finally, some radishes were still missing, so Du Shaojie asked Lao Cai to wait outside and he went in alone.

"Master Cai, I'm sorry, I was away for a while."

As Du Shaojie walked into the vegetable cellar, Dai Jianguo suddenly appeared from nowhere.

This guy has a medium to fat build, and his legs were shaking while he was talking. He looked like he had something wrong.

"It's okay, Xiao Du is here to help."

Lao Cai is a recognized good guy who doesn't offend anyone.

Dai Jianguo glanced at the vegetable cellar and said, "I'll go down and take a look, and give him a hand."

After saying that, he walked in without even looking at Lao Cai.

Lao Cai opened his mouth and wanted to say something but finally held back.

Not long after, Du Shaojie came out carrying a bag of green radishes. He threw the bag onto the tricycle, clapped his hands and said, "It's done. Let's go back."

"Hmm? Where's Dai Jianguo? Didn't he go down there too?"

Old Cai felt like crying but had no tears. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Du Shaojie grinned, pointed to the vegetable cellar and said, "Isn't that it?"

Old Cai turned his head and saw Dai Jianguo covering his cheek and walking out timidly.

He had intentionally come to the vegetable cellar to find Du Shaojie, intending to teach the other party a lesson in a place where no one was around. However, he did not expect that he was no match for the other party and was beaten up by Du Shaojie.

In his previous life, Du Shaojie had a wide range of hobbies and had practiced Sanda for three years.

He is not a martial arts master, but when dealing with people like Dai Jianguo, he can easily beat two of them at once.

Dai Jianguo was the first to attack, and he was the one who suffered. Thugs like him always bully the weak and fear the strong, but after being beaten, he became obedient. Now he didn't dare to look Du Shaojie in the eye.

"Master Cai, this job originally belonged to him. Now that the real owner is here, I just happened to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while."

Du Shaojie spat, said hello to Lao Cai, and went straight to the dormitory.

He was not worried at all that Dai Jianguo would go and make a complaint. On the one hand, there were no witnesses, and on the other hand, would Dai Tong, the uncle and nephew, dare to reveal their dirty thoughts in front of everyone?

Sure enough, when Lao Cai asked Dai Jianguo what happened, the other party responded that he accidentally fell.

morning.

Dai Tong looked at Du Shaojie with an unfriendly look, but Du Shaojie was too lazy to pay attention to him and treated him as if he didn't exist.

"Du Shaojie, we need to serve shredded potatoes for lunch, but we don't have enough manpower. Hurry up and cut them."

Dai Tong unceremoniously increased Du Shaojie's workload. Normally, it would take at least two people to cut so many shredded potatoes, but now it was all thrown to him alone.

Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile. Dai was only good at this. He was just like a woman. Besides, he felt that his knife skills were still lacking. If he practiced more, he might be able to cook "hot and sour potato shreds" better. After all, knife skills were the foundation. He also hoped that he could become a real chef in the future.

He doesn't have to wash or peel the vegetables, he is only responsible for cutting them.

At the beginning, Du Shaojie still cut the meat into strips according to his previous habit, but after repeatedly studying the teaching materials, his knife skills gradually changed.

The rhythmic sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board has a natural beauty and sounds very comfortable.

The canteen's chef Liao Yongxin was a little surprised, and walked over to take a closer look, and found that Du Shaojie's knife skills had suddenly improved a lot. Du Shaojie's abilities in all aspects were not outstanding before, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly become smart.

Liao Yongxin stood aside and watched for a while, then turned and left, without saying anything from beginning to end.

Du Shaojie was cutting vegetables without distraction. The more he cut, the smoother it became, and the faster he cut. He felt happy at this moment, and the depression of the past few days seemed to be swept away. Dai Jianguo and Dai Tong were not worth mentioning.

He reached out his hand again and touched nothing. Then he realized that the potatoes had been cut.

The shredded potatoes need to be soaked for a while. Du Shaojie plans to go outside to get some fresh air and then come back to do further processing.

"Xiao Du, you can stir-fry the shredded potatoes at noon, and I'll cook the other dishes."

As soon as he turned around, Liao Yongxin suddenly said something.

Du Shaojie was about to reply when he was interrupted by Dai Tong who walked in.

"Master Liao, it's ok for Du Shaojie to help out, but if you let him take charge and mess up, everyone will scold him."

Dai Tong didn't want to give Du Shaojie this opportunity. An apprentice who hadn't yet been converted to a regular employee actually dared to challenge him. If the tiger didn't show its power, he would think it was a sick cat.

Early in the morning, his nephew Dai Jianguo expressed his intention to teach Du Shaojie a lesson. Dai Tong not only did not stop him, but instead created an opportunity for him.

Unexpectedly, Dai Jianguo, who usually dominates the alley, was defeated by the wilted Du Shaojie.

Dai Tong had no place to seek justice for this matter and could only swallow his anger.

Therefore, he would stop anything that was beneficial to Du Shaojie.

Liao Yongxin turned his head and looked at Dai Tong with disdain, and said, "I have the final say on matters concerning the kitchen, so stop nagging me, you son of a bitch."

This sentence made Dai Tong cough, but he didn't dare to argue with the other party.

Liao Yongxin was a senior member of the bureau, a good cook, and the canteen's "pillar". He was said to be very well-known in the province, and he was just a small canteen manager, and he had no power to command him.

Du Shaojie took one look and quickly added: "Okay, Master Liao, I will definitely cook it well."

Dai Tong felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, so he stomped his feet, turned around and left the kitchen.

Liao Yongxin looked at Dai Tong's back, curled his lips, then called Du Shaojie over and told him the trick of cooking "Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds".

Everyone else at the scene was very surprised. Master Liao had a very bad temper, and there was no one in the entire canteen of the Heavy Industry Bureau that he could take seriously.

When Liao Yongxin is in a good mood, he will teach everyone some basic skills, but he will not teach anyone how to cook.

Unexpectedly, Master Liao made an exception today and gave Du Shaojie some advice. Not only the apprentices, but even several regular workers were a little jealous.

"Remember?"

"I've got it. Thank you, Master Liao."

After saying a few words, Liao Yongxin stopped talking and waved his hand to signal Du Shaojie to go about his own business.

Du Shaojie stood outside the back door for a while, then came back to continue working.
