He Yuzhu felt aggrieved as he watched Xu Damao peel the potatoes. He smiled and said,"Xu Damao, don't worry about me. I'll finish cooking in ten minutes.”
"You should worry about yourself.”
After saying that, He Yuzhu continued to sit on the chair with his legs crossed. There was still an hour left. To him, it was simply too rich.
Xu Damao, on the other hand, was anxious. He had finally peeled the potatoes he had cut into pieces, and he began to cut them into shreds.
This was extremely difficult for someone who did not cook often.
The success of the potato strips depended on whether the thickness of the strips was the same.
In Xu Damao's opinion, it would be good enough if he could cut the potatoes into shreds.
He imitated the way Lou Xiao'e used to stir-fry shredded potatoes at home and cut them piece by piece.
It took him a full ten minutes to finish cutting.
Xu Damao paid attention to the time. Each of them had to make three dishes. He planned to start cooking one dish at a time. This way, at least he could produce the finished product even if he couldn't finish three dishes in the end.
He immediately put the shredded potatoes into the pot and poured oil to stir-fry them.
Looking at the bottles and jars on the stove, he even had to taste the difference between salt and sugar with his mouth.
However, when it came to light and dark soy sauce, Xu Damao really did not dare to eat anymore.
He knew that the taste of light soy sauce was okay, but he really couldn't accept the taste of dark soy sauce.
He looked at the two bottles and saw that the colors were similar. He picked one up and poured it into the pot.
After pouring the first bottle of black liquid, Xu Damao saw that the color of the shredded potatoes immediately became heavier.
He said proudly,"This dark soya sauce is really fast!"”
"The first dish will be served soon.”
Then, Xu Damao poured out the stir-fried shredded potatoes.
For the second dish, Xu Damao began to rack his brains as he thought to himself.
"Xiao'e usually cooks a lot of dishes for me. Why can't I remember at this critical moment?”
After spending another five minutes, Xu Damao finally thought of a dish.
Xu Damao was still recalling Lou Xiao'e's technique.
After he finished stir-frying according to his own seasoning, he felt much more relaxed.
After all, he had already cooked two dishes.
There was only one dish left.
He turned to look at the clock on the wall. There were still ten minutes left.
He smiled and said,"Sigh, I'm almost done!”
"He Yuzhu, I think you're going to lose!”
However, in He Yuzhu's opinion, this was just the beginning.
He stood up from his chair and skillfully stir-fried the dishes he had prepared.
The dishes he wanted to cook were all Sichuan cuisine. He basically stir-fried them for dozens of seconds in the pot and waited for the food to be cooked before serving them.
For the first dish, He Yuzhu chose his best dish, Yuxiang Shredded Pork.
The heat control, seasoning, and spoon were all so simple in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu finished his first dish.
Xu Damao watched He Yuzhu's technique from the side. He was envious.
However, he did not lose in words.
"He Yuzhu, don't make it so fancy. Don't lose to me in terms of taste.”
He Yuzhu just smiled confidently and ignored him.
Then, He Yuzhu stir-fried a Twice Cooked Pork and a Boiled Beef.
He was done with three dishes.
When it was time for dinner, Secretary Xiao Zhang walked in and asked,""Masters, the chiefs are already seated. Prepare to serve the dishes!”
At this moment, Xu Damao was busy making his third dish. He Yuzhu had already finished.
"Alright, let's do it now!" he said.”
After saying that, He Yuzhu took the tray and carried her three dishes out of the restaurant.
Secretary Xiao Zhang glanced at Xu Damao and asked,""Master Xu, are you not done yet?”
"Don't let the chiefs wait anxiously!"
In order not to lose face, Xu Damao said,""I'm setting up a plate for the Bureau Chief. It'll be served soon!”
At this moment, He Yuzhu had already arrived at the dining room. Looking at the leaders and wives present, he walked over and brought his dishes to the table.
"Leaders, you must be anxious from waiting!”
"This is the dish I made. You can try it!”
The big leader sat at the head of the table and took a look. He fanned the smell with his hand and could not help but sigh.
"It smells so good!"
"Looks like this Master He really has some skills!”
He Yuzhu stood at the side and smiled faintly without saying anything.
However, the leader's wife said,"Master Xu hasn't even served the dishes yet. Isn't it a little too early for you to say that?!"”
When the leader heard this, he asked his secretary, Xiao Zhang, who was at the door,"Is that master not done yet?”
"Everyone is waiting for him!"
Xu Damao's voice came from outside.
"Leaders, the dishes are served!"
"I'm sorry, I wasted some time just now!”
Xu Damao walked over with a plate and quickly placed the dishes on the table.
For a moment, after everyone looked over, a sharp contrast appeared.
The leader coughed lightly and said tactfully,"Little Master Xu, did you make these three dishes?”
"Isn't it a little too plain?"
It turned out that the three dishes that Xu Damao made were stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage, and a cucumber.
As for He Yuzhu, his three dishes were Yuxiang Shredded Pork, Twice-cooked Pork, and Boiled Beef.
At this moment, the other leaders present also pursed their lips and smiled without saying a word.
Seeing the situation, Xu Damao quickly explained,""Hello, Chief. It's not that I don't know how to make meat dishes. I saw that Master He's cooking meat dishes, so we have to match them with meat and vegetables!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the director of the Red Star Rolling Mill felt that he had lost all his face by Xu Damao. He glared at him fiercely and signaled him to stop talking.
However, although Madam felt that she had lost some face, she still helped Xu Damao retain his face and said,""We haven't even tasted it yet. How can we judge whether a person's cooking is good or not?”
Madam said to everyone.
"Everyone, don't be so polite. Everyone, try it!”
After that, the leader first picked up a piece of shredded pork with garlic sauce and put it into his mouth. After tasting it, his eyes flashed as he said to He Yuzhu,"This Yuxiang Shredded Pork is interesting!"
"It's very good. Everyone, try it. This taste is very authentic!”
"It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic Yuxiang Shredded Pork.”
Everyone listened to the leader and each of them picked up a piece of shredded pork with garlic sauce.
For a moment, everyone reacted. They all felt that this taste was very good. It was a classic Sichuan dish.
