"Master, just now you said that you wanted to make two Shandong dishes. What are you going to make?”Ma Hua asked.
"Let me think about it," He Yuzhu said.
"There are still fish in the inventory, right?" he asked.
Ma Hua nodded." Yes, there are a few fish."”
"Do you have carp?" He Yuzhu asked.
Ma Hua shook his head." I don't have that. I only have carp and grass carp. I haven't purchased carp recently."”
"Then let's make a sweet and sour Crucian Carp with Crucian Carp," said He Yuzhu.”
There was a classic dish in Shandong cuisine called " Sweet and Sour Yellow River Carp ". Without carp, they could only use a similar carp instead. After making it, the taste should not be much different.
Chinese cuisine was divided into eight major cuisines: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Huizhou.
Each of the eight major cuisines had its own unique style.
Shandong Cuisine was one of the factions.
Although Shazhu had learned Tan Family Cuisine from his master, he was also best at Tan Family Cuisine and Beijing Cuisine.
However, it was not that he did not know how to cook other cuisines. Among them, he was more proficient in Huaiyang Cuisine and Sichuan Cuisine.
Shandong cuisine was second.
However, other than the local dishes that he studied under his teacher, they were not very refined.
It was different now. His cooking skills had risen from level three to level five, and he was very good at other cuisines.
What sweet and sour Yellow River carp? It was just a piece of cake.
After confirming that the Shandong dish he was going to make was "sweet and sour carp", He Yuzhu checked the ingredients in stock.
There weren't many ingredients available, so it looked like he could only have another "Four Happiness Meatball".
Four Happiness Meatballs were also one of the representative dishes of Shandong cuisine. If the higher-ups of the East Factory were used to the taste of Shandong cuisine, they would probably like to eat it.
Even if they were not used to it, they could still eat it. This was more common.
After confirming the menu, He Yuzhu began to prepare the ingredients.
Ma Hua, Liu Lan, and the others were washing and chopping.
The kitchen immediately became busy again.
Two hours later.
In the banquet hall of the factory, there was a banquet.
The people sitting at the banquet were all middle-aged men in well-ironed Chinese tunic suits.
The director and deputy director of the rolling mill were all present.
The guests were also the leaders of the East Hall.
Ma Hua and Liu Lan brought the dishes to the table.
"What a sumptuous meal. There are so many dishes." A leader from the East Chamber said.
"I saw you coming, so I specially instructed Master He in our kitchen to make a few dishes to entertain you." Deputy Factory Manager Li said with a smile.”
"Why does this dish look so familiar?" A grey-haired and older leader of the East Military Hall locked his eyes on the "sweet and sour carp" in the middle.
"You know the name of this dish, Manager Liu?”Manager Yang asked.
The leader replied,"Isn't this sweet and sour fish?" And this, Four Happiness Meatballs! Hey, that's interesting. The chef in the kitchen of your West Factory has learned Shandong cuisine? These two dishes were clearly classic Shandong dishes!”
Factory Manager Yang glanced at Deputy Factory Manager Li.
Deputy Factory Manager Li hurriedly said," I think so. Master He's really good at cooking. He's well-known in our factory. Everyone likes to eat his dishes!" Just now when I asked him to prepare the dishes to entertain the distinguished guests, he asked me where the leader from the east factory was from. I told him that you came from Shandong, and he said he would cook two Shandong dishes to entertain you.”
"Oh, really?" Manager Liu was surprised." I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful."”
Deputy Factory Manager Li nodded and said," Yes, he did think very thoroughly about this matter. I just don't know how the taste of the Shandong cuisine he specially prepared for you is. Does it suit your taste?"”
"Whether it suits Factory Manager Liu's taste or not, you'll know after tasting it.”Factory Manager Yang smiled and said," Factory Manager Liu, please enjoy your meal. We're all family, so just treat it as if it's your own factory. There's no need to stand on ceremony.”
"Okay, I'll try it. It looks pretty, has color and fragrance, and will definitely taste good.”Manager Liu nodded.
Then, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish and tasted it.
It didn't matter if he didn't try it. After tasting it, his expression suddenly changed.
"How is it?" Manager Yang asked.
Factory Manager Liu praised," Not bad. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's fresh, tender, and refreshing. Well done!"”
"As long as it suits your taste!" Factory Manager Yang said with relief.”
"I've been in Beijing for almost two years," said Factory Manager Liu."It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic Shandong cuisine. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to eat it in your factory today." Eating this dish brought back many beautiful memories of my hometown. He did a good job and deserved praise!”
Then, he ate another Four Happiness Meatball and could not help but praise,"This is also very delicious!"
"Factory Manager Yang, your chef's skills are really not bad. It's comparable to the chefs of big restaurants outside!”
"Master He's really good at cooking. We all know that. After all, we eat his cooking almost every day."”
"Try this. Stewed chicken with mushrooms. It's Master He's signature dish. It's a must-have dish every time we gather and entertain guests!”
He recommended the chicken mushroom stew to her.
Factory Manager Liu tasted it and praised,"This is not bad either. It's delicious!"
The other leaders of the East Military Hall were also full of praise.
They started to eat with relish.
"Ding! Quest completed. Reward: 300 experience points, cloth ticket (nationwide) 3 city feet *4, a Feiyan sewing machine, life skill talent points 20, wisdom 1.”
At the same time.
He Yuzhu, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, received a system notification.
The mission was completed.
After confirming that the mission was completed, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He was worried that the dishes he had carefully prepared wouldn't satisfy the leaders of the East Chamber. It seemed that he had worried too much.
He quickly put this matter aside and continued to work to prepare dinner.
After a while, a group of people walked in.
