"Where's He Yuzhu?"
As the voices outside got closer and closer, Factory Manager Yang strode in with Deputy Factory Manager Li.
"Factory Manager, you're here!" When He Yuzhu saw Manager Yang walking over, she held the vegetables in her hand and said to him,"The dishes are ready.”
"Good!" Factory Manager Yang walked to He Yuzhu with his bag under his arm. He said earnestly,"I have to thank you for today. If it weren't for you bringing your brother to our canteen, I wouldn't be able to get off the stage today!”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked around. When he saw He Yufeng washing the vegetables, he quickly said,"Xiao He, you have to show off tonight. I praised you in front of the leaders just now. Everyone wants to try your cooking!”
"Alright, don't worry, director!"
"Alright, you guys go ahead. I'll go entertain the distinguished guests first!”Factory Manager Yang laughed and turned around to bring Deputy Factory Manager Li to the back hall.
As soon as Manager Yang left, Liu Lan surrounded him.
She looked at He Yufeng with admiration and exclaimed,""Not bad, He Yufeng. It's only been a short while, and the factory manager is already ready to let you show off your skills. If the other leaders are satisfied, won't you be able to rise to the top?”
"Yes, I am!" Ma Hua chuckled and said,"I can finally see Senior Uncle show off his skills!"”
He and Liu Lan had never seen He Yufeng cook before, but Ma Hua knew that his uncle's cooking skills were definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, He Yuzhu would not be so relaxed.
"I've never seen Yufeng cook before, I'll be able to open my eyes!”Liu Lan said expectantly.
"Yufeng, we have to officially show off our skills today. Don't make any mistakes later!”He Yuzhu walked in front of He Yufeng and said earnestly.
Although he had eaten He Yufeng's cooking before, he was still his biological brother. This kind of worry from the bottom of his heart was inevitable.
"Don't worry, brother!" He Yufeng glanced at him and asked,""You're still in charge of the head chef tonight. I'll just make two simple dishes. They just want to try it anyway..."
"Alright!" He Yuzhu nodded." The dishes are ready. You can choose whatever you want to cook!"”
He Yufeng looked at the chopping board. It was already filled with vegetables that Ma Hua had prepared. Other than meat and vegetables, there were also two pieces of tender tofu.
"I'll make these two pieces of tofu!"
After looking around, He Yufeng's gaze landed on the tofu.
The other dishes were prepared by He Yuzhu in advance. He didn't want to snatch his brother's chance.
"Tofu?"
Hearing He Yufeng's words, He Yuzhu panicked.""How are you going to do it with just two pieces of tofu? This is a rare opportunity. If you can make the leader happy today, then wouldn't it be easy to get a raise?”
"Other than tofu, are there any other ingredients?”He Yufeng asked.
" Yes..." Ma Hua thought for a moment and said,""Yesterday, someone sent some river crabs and prawns to the factory director. The factory director hasn't eaten in the canteen for the past two days. Master and I aren't good at cooking either, so we're still sitting there!”
"River crabs and river prawns?" He Yufeng smiled." That's it then. I'll use these two ingredients tonight!"”
"Aiyo, you're really my biological brother. You're even more stubborn than me!”"There are so many dishes on the table. Why did you choose these two stupid river prawns?" He Yuzhu said helplessly. Can that thing show off your culinary skills?”
He knew that He Yufeng was afraid of stealing his limelight, so he was even more anxious than He Yufeng. Seeing that his younger brother was about to achieve great things, he couldn't possibly drop the ball at this juncture, right?
"Don't worry, brother. Everything is under control!”
Then, under the gaze of He Yuzhu and Ma Hua, He Yufeng picked up the Harmony and Lobster from the chopping board and started to process them.
He peeled the prawns, removed the fishy smell, and starched them. All the steps were done in one go.
"Yufeng, what are you cooking?”
Even He Yuzhu, who was familiar with Sichuan, Lu, Yue, and Xiang, was stunned by the scene in front of him.
He Yufeng had been preparing the prawns and didn't even prepare any side dishes. This was very puzzling.
After doing all this, He Yufeng picked up a towel and wiped his hands. He turned to He Yuzhu and said,""Brother, what kind of tea do you usually drink?”
"High Shattering!" "Other than the Jasmine Flower, there's also West Lake Longjing Tea!" He Yuzhu was stunned.”
"This is it!" He Yufeng took some West Lake Longjing tea from the teacup and soaked it in boiling water.
"Hey, look at my brain!" He Yuzhu patted his head and said excitedly,""Longjing Shrimp, right?"
"Yes!" He Yufeng nodded." This dish is neither difficult nor simple. Let's try it out tonight!"”
Ma Hua and Liu Lan were completely dumbfounded.
They were just kitchen helpers in the restaurant. Usually, they could only cook a big pot of rice. How could they know so many twists and turns?
"This West Lake Longjing tea can be used to cook dishes?”Ma Hua looked at He Yufeng in confusion.
" Of course…" He Yufeng said,""You don't understand, do you? The origin of Longjing Shrimp was not small. It was inspired by Su Dongpo's poem,'Let's try new tea with new fire, and take advantage of the time with poetry and wine'. The famous chef in Hangzhou chose the green, fragrant, and sweet Longjing tea from the Ming Dynasty to cook with the shrimp. That was how this dish came about!”
"Oh, I see!" Ma Hua nodded.
"This intellectual is really different. The words he says are so knowledgeable!”
Liu Lan was mesmerized as she listened. Her eyes were fixed on He Yufeng, and she could not take them off no matter what.
He Yuzhu glanced at them and reminded them,"Hey, hey, stop looking. Hurry up and prepare the side dishes. It's time to serve the dishes!”
"Yes, Master!" Hearing this, Ma Hua quickly picked up the kitchen knife and began to cut the vegetables.
Liu Lan was the same. While she was cutting the vegetables, she did not forget to steal a glance at He Yufeng. She was so shocked by his exquisite knife skills that she almost cut her finger.
