They exchanged a few pleasantries.
Manager Yang left.
Director Lou smiled." It's just a simple carrot salad. Master He made it so delicious. You'll have a lot to eat later."”
"How is that dish simple?”
Mrs. Lou glanced at him." That dish isn't simple at all. It's not as simple as chopping carrots and adding seasonings.
"This dish is a special cold dish from some regions. It is mainly made of carrots and served with vermicelli. The first step is to cut the carrots.
"This is the control of the fire. If it's too much, the vegetables will be cooked. If there's not enough time, the bitterness of the vegetables won't be removed completely.
"After that, it's even more difficult to control the seasoning. There's no standard for how many ingredients and how many seasonings to add.
"Just like the soy sauce and vinegar. If it's just right, it can make a dish delicious, but if it's not used well, it will produce a bitter taste.
"Many seasonings are like this. They complement and counteract each other.
"And Master He has done all of this to the extreme. The vegetables are cut just right and the seasoning is just right. It seems simple, but it tests the standard of a chef the most.”
Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up when she heard that." So it's that difficult. It looks simple to me, but I still want to learn."”
Director Lou's face turned red. His wife came from a family of chefs, so he did not argue. The main thing was that he could not win. He changed the subject and pretended to be surprised.
"I see. No wonder you asked Master He to add his fans to this dish.”
"I often ate this dish when I was young.”
"At that time, my grandfather was still alive, so I only did it during the New Year.
"There are many names for this dish. He likes to call it a mixed dish, which means that every time he eats this dish, it's a time for the family to gather together. At that time, there were a lot of dishes on the table.
"After Grandpa passed away, I rarely ate it. I can't even make that kind of taste anymore…"
……
In the kitchen.
Just as He Yuzhu was drinking his lunch, Manager Yang came over with a bag.
"This is for you. Take a look."
"What?"
Puzzled, He Yuzhu took the bag and took a look. There were all kinds of tickets in the bag, including soap tickets, ready-to-wear tickets, toothpaste tickets, cloth tickets, etc. There were also vermicelli, eggs, and seaweed.
"What does that mean?"
He Yuzhu looked at him in confusion.
"These tickets are a gift for you. There are vermicelli and carrot salad, and egg and seaweed soup.”
Factory Manager Yang explained," Do you still remember the director of the steel factory that you went to cook at? He kept inviting you to cook at his house. I helped you reject him. Now, his family has come to the canteen.
"We're talking about raw materials with the steel factory. It's not good to not give face. Other than these two dishes, you can help make ten or so of the existing vegetables.
"This can be considered table diplomacy. If the negotiations go well, our factory won't have to worry about raw materials.”
The main raw materials of the rolling mill were ingots or billets.
Previously, these raw materials were mainly transported from the Northern Industrial Zone by train.
Not only was the distance far, but the industrial zone also had a rolling mill and production tasks. The lack of raw materials was limiting the production of the rolling mill.
In 1958, the ironworks in the city successfully produced steel, which changed the situation.
However, there were only three steel rolling factories in the entire city, and the raw materials were still not enough.
Moreover, Red Star Rolling Mill was the last of the three. It had a thousand workers and did not have many quotas per month.
He Yuzhu understood this. He knew that having sufficient raw materials was of great significance to the rolling mill. He nodded.
It was just a few dishes. It was very simple.
"Oh right, do it seriously. Just do it at the level you did yesterday.”
Factory Manager Yang reminded him again. Director Lou had eaten it yesterday. The taste was not right. If the difference was too big, it would not be good.
"Alright."
He Yuzhu wanted to talk to Manager Yang about Liu Lan.
But now, it was a little like asking for credit.
After thinking for a while, he changed the topic." Deputy Factory Manager Li's reputation and style are not very good. Does the factory not care?”
"Some things are not that simple.”
Factory Manager Yang sighed." There are rumors about Deputy Factory Manager Li, but no one can prove it. The factory can't do anything even if it wants to."”
He Yuzhu was silent. In this era, a woman's reputation was greater than the sky. If she went to testify against Deputy Factory Manager Li, her reputation would be ruined. She would be criticized and despised by others. No one was willing to do so. This was probably the reason why Deputy Factory Manager Li was fearless.
"You want to talk about Liu Lan, right?"
Manager Yang glanced at him and said helplessly,""Deputy Factory Manager Li mentioned Liu Lan at the morning meeting.
"We can usually turn a blind eye to the problem of leftovers, but strictly speaking, it does belong to the factory. If we have to go overboard, it's also in line with the factory rules. There's no problem. After all, there's still a lot of waste in the factory.
"The factory doesn't have a monopoly. There are sufficient reasons in the rules, so we have to follow the rules. Liu Lan was only given a warning and transferred to the workshop.
"There's a good saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs. As long as you behave properly, no one can do anything about it.”
After a pause, Manager Yang reminded him again,"You should also be careful. Don't leave any evidence for Deputy Factory Manager Li to catch.”
"Got it."
He Yuzhu nodded. He agreed with Manager Yang's words.
Although it was hard to break an iron rice bowl, and the factory director had no right to fire people without reason, it was different if he was caught for misbehaving.
It seemed that Li was using this to threaten the others.
Liu Lan was transferred to the workshop. If she couldn't bear the pain, she might agree to Li's condition in the end.
Didn't he like to threaten people?
Then he would return the favor.
He Yuzhu's gaze was cold.
