Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 72 A small request

"Master Du, is there any more food?"

Zhao Dajun held on to a glimmer of hope and shouted at Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie looked at the other person helplessly and thought, you know the cafeteria's working hours, and several people in the cafeteria are already preparing to get off work.

"No more. We had [臊子面] for lunch, and there's nothing left. Professor Sun, why are you so late today? Why don't you wait a moment, I'll try to get you something to eat."

After Sun Qiang resumed work, the hospital did not assign him much work.

He is also a person who can't sit still. The farm is trying to plant winter wheat, and he is almost involved in the whole process, running here every now and then. When he comes, he eats in the cafeteria. He eats whatever the employees eat, and he has become familiar with Du Shaojie.

"Just grab something to fill your stomach! I had a rough trip today. My car broke down on the way, so I'm here so late."

Before Zhao Dajun could say anything, Sun Qiang took over the conversation.

He didn't consider himself an outsider at all.

Du Shaojie asked Li Guixiang to heat up the cornmeal pancakes that were left over from a few mornings, and then he quickly returned to his residence and brought over the remaining [Dezhou Braised Chicken].

Then he prepared a large plate of cold dishes and called the three of them to eat.

"Master Du, where did you get this braised chicken? It tastes absolutely amazing."

Zhao Dajun ate a few pieces of chicken, and the more he ate, the more delicious it became. He chewed the chicken bones into pieces. If there hadn't been a guest, he could have eaten a whole chicken by himself.

Sun Qiang and the young man also praised it highly. The young man especially asked where he bought the braised chicken and wanted to take one home when he returned.

"This is the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] I made. I didn't have time to cook it at the last minute, so I went home and brought it here. Don't worry, it was made this morning, so it's still fresh."

Du Shaojie rolled his eyes. He had contributed his entire dinner, but Zhao Dajun was still asking where he got it from.

In this corner of the farm, you can’t buy good things even if you have money.

"Master Du, you are incredible! Next time, let our dean taste the food you cook. After he eats it, he will definitely find a way to transfer you to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Sun Qiang's words were also compliments, but they sounded a bit harsh to Zhao Dajun's ears.

Isn't this poaching right in front of your own eyes?

Tolerable or unbearable!
"Old Sun, this is not fair of you, is it? I treat you sincerely, but you want to poach Master Du. Not only do I disagree, but all the employees in the field will not agree either."

"Old Zhao, I just said that, are you serious about it?"

"Hmph! Eat."

The three of them quickly filled their stomachs and then went to the fields.

Sun Qiang observed each piece carefully, while the young man recorded the relevant data on the side.

"Old Zhao, the situation is good. It will be time to irrigate the plants in winter, and I will come over then. If the plants are fully irrigated in winter, there will be no worries next spring. Of course, we cannot take it lightly and must prevent frost damage."

Sun Qiang has a strong sense of responsibility and does not miss any details.

"Haha, thanks to your guidance, Old Sun. Thank you!"

Zhao Dajun and Sun Qiang have become friends, and this word of thanks is sincere.

"Don't talk nonsense all the time. If you want to thank me, ask Master Du to make two Texas Braised Chickens for you. I'll take them away when I go back tomorrow."

It’s quite a long trip, so Sun Qiang usually stays on the farm for one or two nights.

In addition to checking the growth of winter wheat, he also has to give lectures to relevant personnel in the farm, and never asks for any compensation.

But today's [Dezhou Braised Chicken] completely stimulated his taste buds, and he wasn't satisfied at all, so he made such a request for the first time.

"Hahaha, Old Sun, you are such a glutton. Leave this matter to me, it's no big deal."

Zhao Dajun has never been a stingy person. If Sun Qiang and others had not firmly refused, he would have treated them to a feast every time they came. Knowledge is never cheap, because it can bring huge benefits.

Afterwards, Zhao Dajun asked Chu Xiaowei to get a few more chickens and give them to Du Shaojie before leaving get off work in the afternoon. He even went to the cafeteria for this matter.

"Master Du, that's all. Thank you for working overtime. I ate one of your chickens at noon, so I'll give you two more."

"Okay, I will definitely satisfy Professor Sun."

Du Shaojie did not refuse. Being able to establish a good relationship with Sun Qiang was a very important thing for the farm.

Not only winter wheat, but also vegetable greenhouses depend on others, so he attaches great importance to it.

Before leaving get off work, Chu Xiaowei brought ten white-striped chickens.

White striped chicken can save a lot of effort, but the quality is uneven. However, according to Chu Xiaowei, he bought live chickens and watched his fellow villagers slaughter and clean them with their own eyes.

Du Shaojie used the knowledge of [Food Identification] he had just learned to conduct an identification and confirmed that Chu Xiaowei was not lying.

It's not that he doesn't trust the other party, but he wants to develop this habit. After all, the knowledge learned is on paper. If you want to master it, you must apply it repeatedly in practice.

What you learn from books is always superficial. You must practice it yourself to know it.

That's probably what it means.

Li Guixiang was in a hurry to go home to do housework after get off work, so Du Shaojie didn't keep her.

Qin Xiaomei helped him get the pot of old soup from home, and just added some water, spices and seasonings when stewing it.

"Aunt Qin, please go back. I can handle the rest of the things by myself."

The production process was no different. When it came to the last step, which was stewing over low heat, Du Shaojie asked Qin Xiaomei to go home and rest.

No one else can replace him in checking the temperature, and having more people will be of no use.

"Then I'll go back. Come home early when you're done."

Qin Xiaomei immediately left the cafeteria, and Du Shaojie was the only one left in the huge kitchen.

But he was not bored, so he watched the [chef training video material] as if he was watching a movie. This is fundamentally different from reading a book. Reading a book is more abstract, while watching video materials is very intuitive and easy to understand and learn.

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

The chicken in the soup pot has been cooked to perfection.

So Du Shaojie extinguished the fire in the furnace and let the whole chicken soak in the soup pot. When he took it out the next morning, it would be the fragrant [Dezhou Braised Chicken].

the next day.

Du Shaojie kept two [Dezhou Braised Chickens] and packed the remaining eight chickens in bags and gave them to Chu Xiaowei.

He handed it to them only when Sun Qiang and the other man left.

"Old Zhao, you are such a nice guy. I won't say anything more. From now on, your farm's affairs are my business. As long as I can be of use, I will do my best."

Sun Qiang felt even more that he had not made a mistake, so he waved goodbye and set off on his way home.

After returning home, the young man happily took a chicken home. As for the rest, Sun Qiang kept two for himself and gave the rest away, even to the dean.

It wasn’t that Sun Qiang suddenly got it, but it was the result of the young man’s guidance along the way.

As a result, Du Shaojie's reputation gradually spread within the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, especially among those who had eaten [Dezhou Braised Chicken], they wanted to poach him immediately.

If the company canteen could have such a skilled chef, why would it be so deserted?

Although married employees usually eat at home, if there is real food in the canteen, everyone will flock to it. Unfortunately, there are no such people in the canteen of the Agricultural Science Academy. Who would like to eat the food except bachelors?
