Ma Hua was stunned by Xu Damao's slap.
Liu Lan and the others were also stunned.
They didn't expect Xu Damao to be so swift and violent!
"Xu Damao, why did you hit me?”Liu Lan said.
Although they had no grudges with Xu Damao, they were still biased towards He Yuzhu. Like Ma Hua, they thought that he was wronged and was framed by Xu Damao.
Therefore, when they saw Xu Damao, they were also very angry. If it weren't for that incident, their kitchen wouldn't have been in a mess and they wouldn't have been criticized by the leader.
"He scolded me first. How rude. Do you think I should teach him a lesson?”Xu Damao said righteously.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing in our kitchen? This is not a place you can come to.”Ma Hua covered his face and said angrily.
"Sorry, I'm here to cook for the leader."”
"Nonsense. You're just a projectionist. Why are you cooking in our kitchen? Do you know how to cook?" Liu Lan said disapprovingly.
"Xu Damao is right. He's here to cook. This afternoon, he'll be hosting the higher-ups. Xu Damao will be in charge of this banquet. Listen to her arrangements and cooperate with him.”
A stern voice came from the door.
It was Deputy Factory Manager Li.
" What?!"
Ma Hua and Liu Lan were shocked.
They looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.
A projectionist actually came to the kitchen. Was this projectionist crazy, or was Deputy Factory Manager Li crazy?
"Deputy Director Li, are you mistaken? Xu Damao was just a projectionist. What did he know about cooking?”Ma Hua couldn't help but ask. He was very dissatisfied.
He was a professional chef, yet he still had to listen to a layman like him.
Deputy Factory Manager Li said," If you have that ability, then you don't have to hire others. Don't talk so much nonsense. I said that Xu Damao will cook, so he will cook. Just listen to him. Don't ask about anything else!”
"Just follow what Deputy Factory Manager Li said and let Comrade Xu Damao take charge of this.”Director Tang, the kitchen director, said.
Facing this matter, he was in a difficult position.
With his skill, the food he cooked would definitely not be to the superiors 'taste. If the banquet in the afternoon was ruined, then the responsibility would fall entirely on him. At that time, he would not be able to explain himself. If he was held accountable, he might be demoted.
Now that Xu Damao had replaced him in charge of the kitchen, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Everyone was happy when things were done. If things were messed up, there would be a scapegoat.
Therefore, he was very supportive of Deputy Factory Manager Li's approach.
"Xu Damao, you go ahead. You don't have to take care of their emotions. What you have to do now is to cook this meal well.”Deputy Factory Manager Li said.
"Okay, Deputy Director Li, I'll start now.”Xu Damao nodded in agreement.
"Bring me your master's hat and apron.”Then, he instructed Ma Hua.
Ma Hua did not dare to disobey the authority of Deputy Factory Manager Li and Director Tang. He went to take the chef's hat and apron from He Yuzhu.
Xu Damao put on the " equipment " without hesitation.
As soon as he equipped his equipment, he started to move.
He first picked up the menu for the banquet and glanced at it.
"Have you killed the chicken? Are the mushrooms ready? And the potatoes, cut them into small pieces."
Then, he shouted at Ma Hua and the others.
Liu Lan replied unwillingly,""The chicken has been slaughtered and washed. Now I'm washing the vegetables.”
"Then let's continue. We don't have much time. The leaders have to eat after the inspection.”Xu Damao waved his hand.
Liu Lan squatted down and continued washing the vegetables.
Ma Hua stood there in a daze.
"Ma Hua, are you stupid? Asking you to do something? Why are you looking at me? I just slapped you. If you're not convinced, let's go out and have a one-on-one fight on the roadside after this banquet is over!”Xu Damao said.
Ma Hua came back to his senses, turned around, and picked up the knife to continue cutting the vegetables.
"What are you cutting? It was uneven. How was it cut by a knife? It was completely gnawed by a dog!”Xu Damao glanced at the chopping board that he was using to cut the vegetables and said seriously," You've learned cooking from Silly Zhu for so long. Didn't he even teach you how to cut vegetables? Cooking isn't just about eating. It's also an art. Since it's an art, there must be rules. You've been learning for so long, but you haven't even started!”
"Let me do it. Watch out."
He took the kitchen knife from Ma Hua's hand.
"Dong dong dong, dong", he started to cut the vegetables.
In the beginning, Ma Hua was very dissatisfied and disdainful. He only thought that he was just putting on a show and bragging.
However, when the other party picked up the knife and started cutting the vegetables, he was stunned.
That speed, that technique, everyone present was ashamed of their inferiority.
Although Silly Pillar was a chef, his skills in cutting vegetables were only so-so.
"This Xu Damao really has some skills.”
Seeing this scene, Deputy Factory Manager Li, who was monitoring the door, felt at ease.
He felt that it was safe.
Therefore, he didn't stand there to supervise and left with a peace of mind.
After cutting the potato slices, he chopped the chicken.
Xu Damao personally handled them.
After all the ingredients were prepared, he started to boil the oil.
Official cooking.
While Xu Damao was cooking, Ma Hua and Liu Lan were completely stunned.
Every movement was done with ease and without any sloppiness.
When to put in the condiments, when to serve the dishes, the heat control was very precise.
In their opinion, even the chef, Shazhu, who had cooked here before was not as skilled as him.
At the very least, her reaction speed was not as fast as his.
Not long after, the dishes on the menu were ready.
Including the chicken mushroom stew.
"It smells so good!"
Smelling the aroma of the chicken, Liu Lan and the others couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.
At this point, they had no choice but to accept a fact.
Xu Damao knew how to cook.
Not only did he know how to cook, but he was also very good at it.
He was not inferior to the chef at all.
It was convincing.
"Xu Damao, are the dishes ready?”
Suddenly, Deputy Factory Manager Li walked into the kitchen and asked loudly.
Xu Damao replied,"Deputy Factory Manager Li, it's all done. It's already out of the pot." Should we serve the dishes now?"
"Yes, let's serve the dishes now. The leaders are already in place."”
"Alright." Xu Damao agreed.
Then, he asked Liu Lan and the others to bring the dishes to the banquet hall.
A few minutes later.
In the banquet hall.
A group of leaders gathered together and prepared to start the banquet.
Manager Yang of the rolling mill was among them.
He accompanied a group of higher-ups who came to inspect the place for a meal.
"I don't have to guess to know that this dish is chicken stewed with mushrooms.”
A middle-aged man sitting at the head of the guests said with a smile.
Deputy Factory Manager Li smiled and said,"Director Liu, you have good eyesight. You can tell what kind of dish it is at a glance."”
The man said," I've been to your factory so many times, and every time I come back, there will be this dish. It's also my favorite dish. Master He's craftsmanship in your kitchen is really not bad. This dish has left a deep impression on me. You might laugh at me, but I came here for this dish. In fact, it's not wrong. Other than work, I came here for it. There's no other way. It's too delicious." You guys smell this fragrance. It makes one's appetite soar and make one salivate.”
"Yes, it smells really good." The surrounding people nodded and praised him sincerely.
When Director Liu and the others praised the aroma of the dishes, Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li couldn't help but look at each other.
He knew that He Yuzhu was in trouble, so he knew that this dish was not cooked by He Yuzhu but someone else.
Deputy Factory Manager Li gave him a meaningful look, indicating that he was at ease.
Before this, he was still not confident about Xu Damao, but when he smelled the tempting fragrance of the dishes, his heart was completely at ease.
Just by smelling this fragrance, he knew that the food was not bad. No matter what, it would be delicious.
"Director Liu, since this chicken mushroom stew has aroused your appetite, don't stand on ceremony. Let's eat. We're all familiar with each other, so there's no need to be so polite. Just treat it as if you're at home and eat whatever you want.”Manager Yang said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet began.
Everyone first tasted the representative dish on the table-chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"As expected, it's so fragrant and delicious!”
After tasting it, Dr. Larson clicked his tongue in praise.
"Moreover, I realized that today's chicken stewed mushroom seems to be even more delicious than before. It tastes endless! It seems that Master He's cooking skills in your canteen have improved.”
"Yes, it's getting more and more delicious." The person beside him nodded in agreement.
Then, they began to eat with relish.
He ate heartily.
Look at them eating so happily.
Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from their hearts.
It was completely safe!
More than an hour later, the banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
"Old Li, what's going on? Which chef's masterpiece? Don't tell me that Silly Zhu has returned to the factory?”
After sending off the guests, Factory Manager Yang turned around and walked into the banquet hall to ask Deputy Factory Manager Li about the situation.
Naturally, he did not know who had prepared this banquet or whose " masterpiece " it was.
Deputy Factory Manager Li shook his head." No, he didn't return to the factory. I don't think he'll be coming back. You definitely won't be able to guess who's in charge of this banquet."”
"Who is it?" Manager Yang asked curiously.
"It's Xu Damao!" Deputy Factory Manager Li replied.
"Xu Damao? Are you talking about Xu Damao, our factory's projectionist?”Manager Yang was surprised.
"Yes, it's him!" Deputy Factory Manager Li nodded solemnly and said," I really didn't expect him to have such good culinary skills. His culinary skills are not inferior to our factory's chef, He Yuzhu. He's simply better than him! At noon, I was worried about how to deal with the banquet in the afternoon. I didn't expect to meet Xu Damao on the way. Xu Damao said that he knew how to cook and could help cook. I had the mentality of giving it a try, and in the end, I succeeded!”
"Xu Damao's culinary skills are really good. Not only does he play the movie well, but his culinary skills are also so good. I have to say that he's a great talent in our factory!”Manager Yang sighed.
"Where is he now? Bring him here. I have to praise him in person.”he said.
"He's still in the kitchen. I'll call him over immediately."”
After saying that, he went to the kitchen and brought Xu Damao over.
"Factory Manager Yang."
Seeing Manager Yang inside, Xu Damao quickly greeted him warmly.
"Comrade Xu Damao, I've really troubled you with the kitchen work today. The dishes you cooked are very good. The leaders all like them very much! You're really amazing!"
When Manager Yang saw him, he gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
