Chapter 63

He Daqing didn't ask too many questions. Cooking is his job.

Nowadays, the world is difficult, there is a decent job to earn a living, and it is not easy for others to plot against themselves, or else he has so many delicious food in his house for no reason, and if there is no explanation, others will not be able to sue him Go, thinking of this, he started to work in a hurry.

Before time travel, He Daqing was good at Tan family cuisine.

Tanjiacai is a government dish, also known as the No. [-] dish, because the founder of Tanjiacai was admitted to the second place in the Qing Dynasty, so the name came from that.

Later, due to the decline of the family, the descendants no longer serve as officials.

The descendants of the Tan family were forced to make a living, and returned to Sijiu City. Relying on the reputation of their ancestors, they hosted banquets at home and entertained dignitaries, and they were quickly praised by everyone.

Later, many celebrities and people with lofty ideals came here admiringly, and even paid a lot of money to invite the heirs of Tan Jiacai to prepare a family banquet.

It was under such circumstances that Tanjia cuisine gradually spread from small family banquets to the upper class by virtue of its outstanding taste.

That's how Tan Jiacai's reputation was built.

In 1943, the three heirs of Tanjiacai moved out of Tanzhai and operated Tanjiacai in Guozi Lane.

It was at this time that He Daqing came into contact with Tan Jiacai.

His ancestral roots are Miaohong, three generations of farm laborers, but the current situation was turbulent at that time, and due to the pressure of life, he had no choice but to work as a handyman in Tan's restaurant.

He Daqing was nimble in his work and clever, and was soon appreciated by the heirs of Tan Jiacai's red case.

Only then did he begin to work as an apprentice in the back kitchen.

This is how He Daqing learned his craft.

Tanjia Cuisine is a fusion of North and South cuisines, with exquisite taste, combining the advantages of North and South cuisines, and forming a school of its own.

What's more, the ingredients of Tan's cuisine are carefully selected, the ingredients are carefully prepared, the cooking is fine, the heat is sufficient, and the taste is pure. What you eat is the original flavor of the ingredients.

In the social environment at that time, he became famous for a while.

Because the ingredients are exquisite and the ingredients are precious, ordinary people can't afford it at all, so it seems that the Tan family's dishes are of high quality.

Later, it became the main cuisine for banqueting guests in the upper class.

He Daqing was unanimously favored by the leaders of the rolling mill by relying on his own craftsmanship in the red case of Tan Jiacai.

Later, in order to keep He Daqing, the leaders of the rolling mill agreed to allow Shazhu to work as an apprentice in the canteen of the rolling mill.

"Master He, I brought you all the ingredients!"

"Look, can we start now!"

"The director of the cafeteria is still urging!"

Suddenly someone shouted from the side.

Only then did He Daqing see that the people under his hand had already brought over the ingredients for the small stove.

There are pork, chicken, fish, and some other ingredients.

This is used by Director Yang to entertain guests.

After glancing at the ingredients, He Daqing soon had various processing methods in his mind.

Now he is not only good at Tan family dishes.

Because of the system's rewards, he knows the eight major cuisines, and he is very proficient, basically at the level of a master.

After traveling for so long, He Daqing has never cooked food.

Even every time he handles the big ladle at noon, he lets Sha Zhu do it, and he just gives some pointers from the sidelines.

Today is a good opportunity to give a small talk to the leaders of the rolling mill!
If it's done well and the leaders are satisfied with the meal, won't you have a chance to introduce yourself to others when the time comes?
He Daqing's eyes lit up for a moment, and he was thinking quickly about how to cook this meal well.

"Okay, let's wash the vegetables and prepare!"

He Daqing greeted and began to put on his apron.

It looked very imposing.

Everyone was stunned.

"Dad, what are you going to cook today?"

Silly Zhu couldn't help asking at this time.

"Boy, look, let's see what your father is capable of!"

He Daqing picked up the kitchen knife and began to process the ingredients in a smooth manner, and the movements were smooth and smooth.

Whether it's chopping chicken nuggets or slicing fish fillets, he didn't hesitate at all, and processed the ingredients in threes and fives.

Silly Zhu was stunned.

He Daqing is just like the master juggler on the stage, unfathomable.

At this level, he felt that he was far from reaching it.

"Stupid Zhuzi, burn the fire quickly!"

He Daqing yelled, and immediately set up two pots.

Everyone was dumbfounded, they dared to stir up two pots of vegetables at the same time!
Everyone was surprised and couldn't believe it.

This is a small fire for the leaders of the rolling mill!
At this time, frying two pots at the same time, will it be too impulsive?

If the stir-fry was messed up, the leaders would be dissatisfied and lose face, and He Daqing might lose his job.

But the crowd was speechless.

Silly Zhu hurriedly asked: "Dad, are you going to cook two pots at the same time?"

He Daqing ignored him, and kept shouting: "Just manage your fire, don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

"But Dad, today is a treat from Director Yang. If there is any problem with the cooking, you will be responsible..."

He Daqing waved his hand, signaling Shazhu to stop talking.

Even though Sha Zhu had a thousand words to say, he could only hold back.

He Daqing picked up a large spoon, waited for the pan to heat up, put it into the oily pan, poured out the oil, and added cold oil.

Roast chicken on the left and braised pork on the right.

After a while, the aroma filled the whole kitchen.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing.

This is much more fragrant than a cauldron of vegetables!

You can tell how fragrant the dish is by smelling it.

Soon the two dishes were ready, and He Daqing made another Sichuan-style boiled fish fillet.

There are also two vegetarian dishes, plus a cold dish.

There are six dishes in total, and they are cooked soon.

Everyone looked at the dishes on the stove, and couldn't bear to take their eyes off.

Not only the color is attractive, but also the fragrance is so strong that people can't help but want to wipe it all away just by looking at and smelling the smell.

"Okay, why are you still standing there, hurry up and serve the food!"

He Daqing wiped his hands with a rag, and shouted.

Only then did Liu Lan come to her senses, and the dishes started to be served in a hurry.

at this time.

Inside the small private room of the cafeteria.

Factory Manager Yang is personally accompanying a middle-aged man, who wears glasses and looks refined, but is very well-dressed, restrained but unassuming, and looks very comfortable.

At first glance, it is a person with status and status.

This person is none other than Lou Zhenhua who was known as Lou Bancheng before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rolling mill was under his name.

Now, in order to protect himself, he donated the shares of the rolling mill to the country, which is now the Red Star Rolling Mill.

Usually he seldom comes to the rolling mill.

Firstly, the rolling mill no longer belonged to him, and secondly, after coming to the state-owned company, the employees and leaders have changed a lot. Everyone has heard of his name, but not many people know him well.

But the reason why he came to the rolling mill today was only for his family affairs.

Recently, his wife found a marriage for his daughter, Lou Xiaoe, who was Xu Damao from the old Xu family.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu's mother worked as a servant in Lou's family, and she had a good relationship with Lou Zhenhua's wife. Now that their family is in decline, coupled with the problem of family composition, they finally had no choice, so they agreed to marry Xu's family.

On the one hand, it is important to focus on the good family background of Xu's family and the fact that they know their roots well.

The second reason is that Xu Damao's job prospects are relatively good. He is a projectionist in the publicity department of the rolling mill and can often get in touch with the leaders of various units, so the chances of advancement are relatively high.

Lou Zhenhua came here for no other reason than to inquire about the reputation of his future son-in-law in private.

The reason why he came to Director Yang was also decided after careful consideration.

Even if Xu Damao really has a bad reputation, it doesn't matter, at worst, the marriage will be over.

If he is a good person, he can just say a few nice words in front of Director Yang.

Regardless of whether it works or not, it will be helpful to Xu Damao's future development.

Soon, the dishes will be ready.

There are six dishes in total.

Three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and one cold dish.

The main reason is that the three meat dishes are particularly eye-catching.

A bowl of braised pork, a bowl of boiled fish slices, and a bowl of roasted chicken with potatoes.

Not only is the color attractive, but the taste is also very fragrant, which makes people appetite at first glance.

Factory Manager Yang couldn't help but stare blankly, it must be Old He Tou who is in charge!
"Come on, Zhenhua, let's chat while eating!"

This door is always a guest, and Lou Zhenhua seldom comes to the rolling mill. Although he is just a commoner now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Who knows what the future holds?
After all, Director Yang has seen people in the world, so he is very polite to him.

"Okay, Director Yang, please go first!"

Lou Zhenhua looked very humble.

Factory Manager Yang was very happy and hurriedly asked him to pick up vegetables.

Unexpectedly, the two couldn't stop after taking the first bite.

Totally blown away by this delicious meal.

Where have they eaten such a delicious meal.

The potatoes are soft, glutinous and smooth, full of the fresh aroma of chicken, and they are in good shape, not deformed or loose at all.

The braised pork melts in the mouth, soft and rotten and salty, and the fat and juice are mixed together in one bite, with a distinct layering.

There are also Sichuan-style boiled fish fillets, the fish fillets are tender and elastic, and will not rot in one bite, spicy and delicious, the combination of red oil and fish fillets directly impacts people's taste buds, like a sudden violent The impact is average, exciting and enjoyable.

Even though Lou Zhenhua had eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, he was also shocked by the food in front of him, which can be described as stunning.

"Who made this dish today?"

Factory Manager Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and directly greeted the people outside.

Today it is better than the Xiaozao he has eaten before, I don't know how many times better.

He was also a little curious for a while.

"This dish is made by Master He Daqing, Factory Director Yang, what's the matter? Does it taste bad?"

Liu Lan heard the shouts and hurried in to explain. When she heard Director Yang's question, she panicked for a while.

Because Director Yang never asked such a question every time he treated guests before.

Did this dish go wrong today?
As soon as she thought of He Daqing cooking in two pots at the same time, she immediately understood what was going on.

Liu Lan was extremely nervous.

"It turned out that He Daqing did it, you call him over quickly, I have something to ask him!" Director Yang said lightly.

How dare Liu Lan delay for a moment.

She almost ran to the kitchen in the cafeteria.

"It's over, it's over, it's over..."

"What's wrong?" Everyone couldn't help asking.

Liu Lan couldn't care less about resting, panting and said to He Daqing: "He...Master He, this dish today, I guess...I guess it was a mess. Director Yang's face is not very good, and he is calling for you to come over Woolen cloth!

You'd better be more sincere and admit your mistakes to others! "

"What? How could this be!"

Silly Zhu was a little confused. If he knew this, he should have been tougher at the time, and he shouldn't have let He Daqing cook in two pots at the same time.

Hearing what Liu Lan said, everyone was in a bad mood, and couldn't help but worry about He Daqing.

The cooking was messed up. Although He Daqing took the main responsibility, it was done for Director Yang, and they probably wouldn't have a better life in the future.

Facing everyone's tension and worry, He Daqing seemed very calm.

He unhurriedly took off the apron, and then greeted Liu Lan: "Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and headed towards the small room without turning his head.

at this time.

Factory Manager Yang and Lou Zhenhua were having a great time eating.

Soon a table of dishes was eaten up by them.

The two touched their bellies with satisfied faces.

"Director Yang, your rolling mill is really crouching tiger, hidden dragon!"

"Although I, Mr. Lou, is not a great person, I have seen some of the world, delicacies from mountains and seas, and local specialties. I dare say that I have basically tasted them all!"

"But this dish today is really amazing. He can cook the same dish in a variety of ways, which is far beyond the level of others. It's rare!"

Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but praise him.

For a moment, I forgot what I was here for.

"Haha, as long as you like it, wait for someone to come over later, and I will recommend it to you!"

Director Yang was very satisfied with Lou Zhenhua's words.

However, he also had some surprises today. If He Daqing really cooks this dish, he can even recommend it to his superiors in the future.

That's what's most important to him.

"That's great, I can invite someone home another day, so that my wife and daughter can try it too!"

Lou Zhenhua replied with a smile, and suddenly he slapped his forehead and continued: "Look at my brain, I was so busy eating and drinking by myself that I forgot that I came here today to inquire about something!"

"Oh?" Director Yang frowned slightly.

"Director Yang, you don't know. My little girl has recently found a partner. She is the projectionist of the publicity department of our rolling mill. His name is Xu Damao!"

"I know this guy. He often shows movies for the factory and other units. He's a nice guy, he's smart, and he can say, well, I didn't expect him to be your future son-in-law!"

After all, Factory Director Yang has been in the system for many years, so naturally he would not judge a person at will, but just made some polite remarks to Lou Zhenhua.

Before Lou Zhenhua could continue speaking!

He Daqing knocked on the door at this time.

"Director Yang, are you looking for me?" He Daqing asked.

"Master He is here, please sit down quickly, don't be restrained!"

"It took a lot of effort for your cooking today. Compared with before, your cooking skills have improved a lot. No, everyone appreciates your cooking very much!"

Director Yang hurriedly motioned He Daqing to sit down.

"It's nothing, as long as you like it!" He Daqing replied.

"Zhenhua, this is the chef I told you about cooking this table, He Daqing, Master He!"

Then Director Yang hurriedly introduced He Daqing to Lou Zhenhua.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, Master He seems to live in the same compound as your future son-in-law Xu Damao. It's better to hurry up. If you have anything you want to know, you can just ask him."

Director Yang suddenly thought of something, and pushed He Daqing up.

Only then did He Daqing realize that the person in front of him was none other than Lou Zhenhua!
"That's great, Master He, let me ask you, how is Xu Damao doing in the compound?" Lou Zhenhua asked suddenly.

"Very good, nothing wrong!"

Naturally, He Daqing couldn't tell Xu Damao wrong in front of Director Yang.

Speaking ill of others in front of the leader?
If it gets out, what will he do in the rolling mill in the future?
"Then what, Director Yang has nothing to do, I'll leave first, there are still many things to explain later!"

He Daqing said that he was about to leave.

Director Yang naturally didn't want to say much, he could only nod his head in agreement, thinking about how shrewd He Daqing is.

"Wait, Master He, when do you have time, I would like to invite you to cook me a family dinner, so that my wife and daughter can also taste your handicraft!"

Seeing that He Daqing was about to leave, Lou Zhenhua got up quickly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain!"

Lou Zhenhua added.

He Daqing thought about it, and it's not impossible to cook a meal.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what Miss Lou's family looked like.

"Sure, let's do it tomorrow night. Give me the address, and then buy the food. I'll come over before dinner!"

"That's it!"

Lou Zhenhua was so happy that he immediately told He Daqing his address.

He also has his own plan in mind.

Once I invite He Daqing to cook at home, I can give my family a taste of his cooking skills.

Secondly, he also noticed that He Daqing had something difficult to say just now, so he invited him home and closed the door, just in time to inquire about Xu Damao's affairs by the way.

It's not killing two birds with one stone.
