From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 8 The Honest Senior Brother
  Walking out of the kitchen, he walked towards the cubicle where the deputy director and his companions had their meals.

Lin Jiacheng gave Li Huidong serious instructions.

"Huidong, when you go in later, if someone asks you about that plate of "Chicken with Sauce Sauce", you must say that you cooked it yourself, but you can't say that Feng Zhengming cooked it."

Li Huidong looked at his brother-in-law with some surprise.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't cook that dish, how could I take the credit from Zhengming?"

Lin Jiacheng said: "Are you stupid? Feng Zhengming only fried that dish tonight. You didn't fry the other dishes with your own hands. You told others that Feng Zhengming fried that dish, and What can be done?”

Li Huidong still insisted: "Brother-in-law, we can't lie to others. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not."

Lin Jiacheng was a little helpless and could only continue: "Let me tell you, the Mr. Liu that Fang Jian invited tonight must be a big boss. He said he wanted to see you, and he might take care of us in the future, so you must give I’ll top it.”

Seeing that Li Huidong remained silent, Lin Jiacheng thought about it and changed his method of persuasion.

"Huidong, I don't have to let you take away the credit of your junior brother tonight. In fact, the main credit tonight is still yours. Without your other dishes, the plate of "Sauce-fried Chicken" will do the trick. ?

Besides, Huidong, you also know that the brewery cafeteria is a piece of fat, who doesn’t want to take a bite?

If we don't grab more backers, sooner or later we will be replaced by others.

And even if you have a backer, there's no guarantee that you won't be replaced.

So we need to make more friends and leave more paths for ourselves, do you understand? "

Li Huidong is still relatively upright.

"Brother-in-law, we have skills. Even if the canteen doesn't let us contract, at worst, Zhengming and I will take our apprentices to do other things. We have skills, are we afraid that we won't have a chance?"

After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Lin Jiacheng couldn't help but want to beat his chest.

"Dongzi, why don't you understand? Then let me ask you, why did Yanxi Tower close down? Could it be that your master's craftsmanship is not good?"

When Li Huidong heard this, he immediately stared and said, "Brother-in-law, I can do anything you say, but you can't question the master's craftsmanship."

Lin Jiacheng was shocked when he saw Li Huidong glare, especially because although Li Huidong was not as tall as him, he was very strong.

Lin Jiacheng quickly said: "I'm not questioning Master Yan's craftsmanship. Everyone in Quan City doesn't know that Master Yan's craftsmanship is the absolute best. What I mean is that craftsmanship alone will definitely not work. Think about the collapse of Yanxi Tower , isn’t it because of the boss’s management issues? It has nothing to do with your craftsmanship.

So you not only need to have skills, but you also need to take the initiative in your own hands. You can't work for those bosses in the kitchen all your life, do you understand? "

Although Li Huidong is upright, he is not really stupid.

He could still understand what his brother-in-law said.

In fact, after the collapse of Yanxi Tower, Li Huidong also became aware of some problems.

As Lin Jiacheng said, you really can't work for the boss all your life.

Li Huidong slowed down and thought seriously for a moment.

In the end, he insisted: "Brother-in-law, I can listen to you on other matters, but I definitely can't admit that I made the "Chicken with Soy Sauce" tonight. I believe that all my other dishes tonight should be the same. It's above the standard, even if it doesn't have the "Chicken with Sauce Sauce", they can't say there's anything wrong with it."

Lin Jiacheng was really speechless, but watched Li Huidong walk firmly to the cubicle.

He could only follow quickly, thinking in his mind how to help smooth things over?

Li Huidong entered the small cubicle where the deputy director was entertaining guests.

Put the dishes in your hands on the table. Li Huidong then apologized very sincerely: "Director Fang, and a few guests, I'm really sorry for tonight. I was a little too busy to make the fried chicken with soy sauce, so I asked two apprentices to do it for me, and something went wrong.

There are two dishes here, I apologize to you, one is "Hibiscus Double Beef" and the other is "Spiced Liver with Scallions". "

Seeing the two dishes on the table, Mr. Liu, who was invited tonight, immediately stared at them with admiration in his eyes.

Fang Jian knew how to observe words and expressions, and caught the admiration in Mr. Liu's eyes.

He quickly smiled and said, "Oh, Chef Li, you are so polite. You even gave us two dishes. In fact, we are already very satisfied with the "Sauce-fried Chicken" you just fried."

Naturally, Li Huidong did not hesitate and apologized again: "I'm sorry, Director Fang, I was in the kitchen just now, preparing these two dishes, so the "Sauce-fried Chicken" was actually fried with the help of my junior brother. .”

Li Huidong's words had just left his mouth here.

Lin Jiacheng followed in.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu and Factory Director Fang. I only found out after I went to the kitchen to call my brother-in-law that it was his junior brother who helped fry the "Sauce-fried Chicken"."

After hearing what the two said, Fang Jian's expression obviously became a little bad.

But before Fang Jian could speak, Mr. Liu spoke first.

"Your junior brother? Are you also the apprentice of Master Yanxilou Yan?"

Li Huidong nodded and said, "Yes, he is the youngest apprentice my master accepted before he retired. I wonder if some of you are satisfied with the "Chicken with Soy Sauce" fried by my little junior brother?"

Mr. Liu said: "I am very satisfied. When I eat it, I feel like I am eating it made by Master Yan himself."

When Li Huidong heard this comment, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he was even a little proud of Feng Zhengming.

"Thank you. Your evaluation is the highest praise for my junior brother."

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Chef Li, you are very polite. Your other dishes tonight are also very good. And the last two dishes that you personally delivered made me feel that Chef Li is worthy of the honor." He is Master Yan’s disciple.”

Li Huidong said modestly: "You're welcome, I didn't embarrass Master tonight."

Mr. Liu said: "With a chef like Master Yan, the collapse of Yanxi House is really a pity."

Fang Jian immediately said: "I can only say that there is something wrong with the management of Yanxi Tower. Such a good sign was ruined in the end."

Mr. Liu asked Li Huidong: "I wonder where Master Yan has gone now?"

Li Huidong replied: "Master has retired and returned to his hometown."

Mr. Liu suddenly realized: "Oh, we didn't have a chance to meet each other. It's really a pity."

Lin Jiacheng said: "Mr. Liu, if you want to eat any dishes from Yanxilou in the future, you can come to our canteen and we will try our best to cook them for you."

Mr. Liu immediately smiled and asked Fang Jian: "Director Fang, can I come to your factory cafeteria for dinner at any time?"

Fang Jian immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Liu, you can come anytime if you want."

Mr. Liu smiled, then he looked at Li Huidong and said, "Chef Li, I called you here because I actually want to ask Chef Li for help with something."

Li Huidong said: "Mr. Liu, tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help."

Mr. Liu said: "It's like this. This weekend, I'm going back to my hometown to help my old father organize a birthday party. I've been looking for a suitable chef. I ate Chef Li's cooking tonight. I would like to ask Chef Li to cook for my old father’s birthday party.”
