Siheyuan: I can simplify skills

Xu Yang thought so, so he tied the fish to the gills with a rope and hung it on the tree.

"Young man, are you selling fish?" Someone came over and asked.

"Sell it. If you buy such a big fish, your family won't be able to eat it." Xu Yang reminded.

"It's okay, I'm going to serve it to the guests. This fish is missing." The man looked like a middle-aged cadre, and there was a young man beside him.It seems that the identity is not simple.

"Sell it. But I didn't weigh it here. This fish weighs about 21 jins, which is 18 jins for you. It's [-] cents per catty, which is [-] yuan. I also have two other fish, which add up to about [-] or [-] jins. If you want it too, it’s eight yuan. A total of [-] yuan." Xu Yang said.

"Then I'll take them all." The middle-aged cadre motioned to the young people around him to pick up the three fishes.

It's just that these three fish are not small, so they are really not easy to get.

"Where do you live? I'll send it to you." Xu Yang said.

"Okay, our car is over there, just help us get it to the car." The middle-aged cadre said.

Chapter 41 really cut off He Yuzhu’s luck

"This fish is too big. If you take it back, it's best to process it as soon as possible. If it's a treat today, it will taste much better while it's fresh. If you eat fish here, it means it's fresh. If you leave it overnight, the taste will be a bit different." Xu Yang is now also a chef with some skill in cooking, and his insights are much better than those of ordinary chefs. Even the retired chef of a state-owned hotel just now may not be much better than Xu Yang.

"Huh? Young man, are you a chef?" the middle-aged cadre asked.

"I am a worker in a steel rolling mill. I know a little bit about cooking." Xu Yang said.

"From the steel rolling mill?" The middle-aged cadre glanced at Xu Yang, "How are your cooking skills? I'm inviting friends to dinner tonight. The chef in the agency is not very good at it. It would be great if you could help."

Xu Yang also glanced at the middle-aged cadre. He thought he looked familiar before, but now he took a closer look. Isn't he the noble leader He Yuzhu in the original drama?No wonder he just took a special look when he heard that he was a worker in the steel rolling mill.

"If I just lead your family banquet, I should be able to handle it." Xu Yang said.

"That's it, pack up your things and go over and do me a favor. I'll pay you a salary." The big leader suddenly laughed again, "But with your ability, I'm afraid I can't afford your salary. If you fish for a while, you can earn 20 yuan. This is almost a month’s salary for many people.”

"No need to pay wages. I heard that your cadres can't use up all their meat coupons. Just give me some meat coupons. I haven't eaten meat for a long time and I'm so hungry." Xu Yang said.

"Okay, I'll give you all my extra meat tickets. If there's any leftover meat today, I'll take it back later so you can have a good meal." The leader smiled.

Xu Yang had been thinking about how to intercept Hu Shazhu before, but he didn't expect that the opportunity had already been obtained before he took action.After I have given such a meal to the big boss, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to fool Zhu again.

The big leader's treat was actually casual. He originally came here to fish, but when he saw Xu Yang catching a big fish, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get together with his old comrades.In the past, they were all comrades and brothers who shared life and death. After liberation, many people chose to change careers and went to various positions.

Comrades who are also in the 49th city will often get together. They have experienced life and death, so they value this kind of comrades-in-arms relationship very seriously.

"Xiao Xu, you've arrived at my house. You must not say that you caught this fish. You are the chef I invited, and I caught these fish in the park. Just to brag in front of old friends." The big leader laughed. road.

"Leader, the cost of your boasting is really high." Xu Yang said with a smile.

The big leader laughed loudly: "Actually, I am taking this opportunity to get together with my comrades. They and I were once close friends of life and death on the battlefield."

This is why big leaders are willing to spend a lot of money to invite friends to parties.

"Boss, these things of mine are easy to reveal. Why don't you let me send them home first, and then I'll go to your home." Xu Yang said.

"Yes, okay. Where do you live? I'll ask Xiao Chen to pick you up later," the big leader said.

Xiao Chen is the young man next to the big leader and his secretary.

"Sure." Xu Yang told Secretary Chen his address.

Xu Yang was not prepared to go to the leader's house by himself. They lived in the compound and he couldn't even get in.

Xu Yang rode back to the courtyard.

Yan Bugui had also returned home. Seeing that Xu Yang's fish cage was empty, he thought Xu Yang was in the air force today, so he said with a smile: "Xu Yang, it's empty today. This fishing still depends on experience and luck. It won’t work. If you’re lucky, you can only catch it once.”

"No. I caught something today, but someone else bought it for 18 yuan. Three big fish." After Xu Yang finished speaking, he pushed the cart into the house.

"Who are you lying to?" Yan Bugui didn't believe it.

But Xu Yang didn't argue with him.

Xu Yang started to stir up troubles as soon as he entered the room, trying to improve his skills before Secretary Chen came over.

This time, Xu Yang didn't take any chances when it came to flipping the pot. Instead, he grabbed a handful of beans and put them in the pot, and kept practicing flipping the pot.

Sure enough, the proficiency level increased a bit faster than usual, and it went up quickly.

A smile appeared on Xu Yang's face.

It felt really good.

Although he has not entered the state of enlightenment, his skill proficiency is improving rapidly.

"Excuse me, does Xu Yang live here?" Outside, Secretary Chen had already come over.

"Here. I'll take you there." Yan Bugui often stands guard at the gate. He is often the first to see people coming from outside.

When he arrived at the door of Xu Yang's house, Yan Bugui shouted loudly: "Xu Yang, someone is looking for you."

Xu Yang put the pot aside. When Xu Yang bumped the pot, all the beans flew into a bamboo tube.Not a single grain fell out.

Xu Yang walked out: "Secretary Chen, would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"

Secretary Chen waved his hand: "Don't bother, hurry over. It's getting late. If it's too late, you won't have time to prepare dinner."

"Okay." Xu Yang followed Secretary Chen out of the courtyard.

Yan Bugui has been listening by the side. He can tell that the young man who comes to Xu Yang is not an ordinary person. He is a secretary who takes Xu Yang to meet the leader.A leadership position with a dedicated secretary is not a lowly one.It seems that Xu Yang has met a big shot.

The big leader's specialty is a black car, which is considered very high-end in this era.The steel rolling mill has a special car for Secretary Yang, but it is a jeep with a green hood.

"Xiao Xu, it may be your first time to go to the leader's home. There are some things you should pay attention to here. I want to tell you first. When you get there, ask what you should ask and don't ask what you shouldn't. Just prepare your meals. . Don’t interfere with the rest. Don’t tell others about the leader’s family affairs when you go out. So as not to cause unnecessary impact on the leader.” Secretary Chen said some precautions.

Xu Yang has already seen these things in the play.Silly Zhu was warned like this when he went to the big leader's house.

Xu Damao was so smart that he got close to the leader's wife at the leader's house and even spoke ill of Silly Zhu behind his back.The big boss was a soldier and hated those duplicitous people the most. As a result, Xu Damao was kicked back by the big boss even before the movie was released.He even warned that people like Xu Damao would not be allowed to enter his house in the future.

These senior leaders have some privileges, and Xu Yang, who has experienced later generations, thinks it is normal.People fought hard to conquer the country. Now they are in a high position and have a little privilege. Isn't this normal?This great leader's family was much simpler than some people in later generations.

When they arrived at the big leader's house, Secretary Chen took Xu Yang to the kitchen.

Chapter 42 Your cooking skills were delayed by the benchwork

After a while, a middle-aged woman came over. This was naturally the leader's wife.

"Young man, the people here today are all old friends of my family. Is your cooking good?" The leader's wife was a little worried when she saw that Xu Yang was very young.

"If you don't have diamonds, you won't do porcelain work." Xu Yang was neither humble nor overbearing in front of the leader's wife.

"That's it, I'll leave the kitchen to you today. See what's missing." The leader's wife asked.

Xu Yang glanced around: "Hey, you are from Sichuan. I see that the ingredients in this room are all related to Sichuan cuisine."

"You're right. We are from Sichuan, so we prefer Sichuan food. But as for me, my cooking skills are average." The leader's wife said.

Neither the big leader nor the big leader's wife came from poor families and later joined the revolution. After the peace, they also had their own jobs and usually had servants at home.Basically I rarely go to the kitchen.

"Okay, that's enough. Even if there's one or two items missing, it won't have much impact. But how many guests are there tonight, so I can control the portions," Xu Yang said.

"There are about twenty people. There are eight in each table, and there are three tables. The leader came back from fishing today, and of course the main thing is fish." The leader's wife said.

"In other words, these three fish have to be cooked. Then make a braised fish and a boiled live fish. These fish heads are not small, so we will make them into minced pepper fish heads." Xu Yang said.

The leader’s wife smiled and said, “Let’s just make it a fish feast.”

"It's not impossible. Make a few more side dishes and you'll have everything you need to go with wine and dinner," Xu Yang said.

"It seems that my worries are unnecessary. No matter how bad your cooking skills are, they are not much worse." The leader's wife left with peace of mind.

As soon as the leader's wife left, Xu Yang started to deal with the three fish.

Of course it is not easy to handle such a big fish.But in the face of Xiao Cheng's cooking skills, it was like a cook trying to untie a cow. It didn't take long for the three fish to be cleaned up.

After cleaning the fish, Xu Yang began to prepare various side dishes and seasonings.

After a while, Secretary Chen came over and told Xu Yang: "The guests have arrived. We need to start dinner in advance. You should be prepared."

The rice has been steamed in advance, and at this time, the attractive fragrance is already wafting out.This rice must taste good, even Xu Yang, who came from later generations, felt a little greedy.This rice is not simple, it should be the legendary special fragrant rice.

The ingredients here are different from what ordinary people buy in the market, they are all very fresh.The vegetables are all tender and tender, and even the pepper stalks are not dry at all.

If the ingredients are good, it will be easy for the chef.With a little bit of craftsmanship, you can make delicious meals.

After Secretary Chen came over just now, Xu Yang started cooking.

The coal stove is used for burning here, so there is no need to watch the fire.

Prepare them one by one and put them in a steamer to keep warm.

When Secretary Chen came to the kitchen again, Xu Yang was already sitting there and resting.

"Master Xu, can we serve dinner?" Secretary Chen asked.

"Okay. Everything is ready." Xu Yang said.

The big leader is bragging to a few old comrades.

"I stayed in the Jinshui River for less than an hour today and caught three big fish. I didn't like the small fish at all, so I released them directly. The largest one weighed more than 20 kilograms, and the smallest weighed more than ten kilograms. Today is all fish It’s time for a banquet.” The big leader was so excited that even Xu Yang felt that he had caught the three big fish.

"Hey, you are such a young chef, how are your skills? Don't ruin your big fish." The old comrade was not polite to the big leader at all.

"Then don't worry, if you don't have diamonds, you won't get the porcelain job." The big leader said.

In fact, after the big boss returned home, he felt that he was a little too casual, so he asked Xu Yang to be the chef at home after just asking.So he asked his wife to test it out in the kitchen.

"Comrade, which hotel are you from?" someone asked Xu Yang.

Xu Yang didn't hide it either: "I am a fitter in the first workshop of the steel rolling mill."

"Really? You, a worker, can also cook?" Everyone was surprised that the leader actually asked a fitter to cook.Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult for a big leader to hire a restaurant chef.At least we can invite the chef from the compound cafeteria to come over.

"This leader, if our army mounts the horse to kill the enemy and dismounts the horse to govern the country, can't we also manage the country to prosper?" Xu Yang said.

"Hey. What you said makes sense. I want to try and see how skilled you are as a fitter." The man smiled.

The senior leader was also very satisfied with Xu Yang's words: "However, it is not easy to be good in a profession. It takes a lot of time to study."

Xu Yang nodded: "The leader is right. But people are like iron rice or steel. I just think about my cooking skills every day when I cook."

"Little comrade, don't lie to me. Your cooking skills can't be learned by cooking at home. This boiled fish doesn't seem to have any seasoning, but it tastes really good."

"Yes. This fish head with chopped pepper tastes very authentic. It is difficult to eat such authentic fish head with chopped pepper in City 49."

"And this Mapo Tofu dish looks simple, but it tastes really delicious. It turns decay into magic."
