In the kitchen of the Red Star Rolling Mill's canteen.
Zhang Hexuan held a sharp kitchen knife and skillfully and quickly processed a large pile of washed ingredients.
"Fan again, increase the strength. The temperature of the furnace is not high enough!”
Zhang Hexuan had already put the ingredients into the pot. He flipped the pot while instructing Qin Huiru.
Only when the temperature of the furnace was raised could the flame fully wrap the ingredients. This way, the original fragrance and taste of the food could be preserved to the greatest extent.
At this moment, Qin Huairu's face was already black from the smoke, but she had no choice but to squat behind the boiler and continue to fan herself. Director Zhao must be watching from the side.
Even though she was extremely angry, she did not dare to show it. She did not dare to neglect the things that Zhang Hexuan had given her.
"Comrade Zhang Hexuan, I believe you!" Zhao Weimin smiled and said,"Your skillful technique is amazing!" Chef! Definitely!"
"Then I'll leave this noodles to you. I still have to help greet the leader. Thank you for your hard work.”
Zhang Hexuan waved his hand." Director Zhao, there's no need to thank me. I'm lucky to be able to cook for the leader."”
"Hurry up and get busy. I'll take care of this. Don't worry!”
Director Zhao laughed happily and looked at He Yuzhu."Silly Zhu! No…Master He, your cousin is not bad! He's a character."
"Comrade Zhang Hexuan, I'll leave this table of dishes to you. I'm leaving!”
"Don't worry!" Zhang Hexuan nodded. Don't worry! It'll be done in half an hour!"
Director Zhao still had to go to the private room to prepare and set up the cutlery, so he left first.
In the kitchen, Zhang Hexuan had already used a few big pots. He shuttled back and forth between several tables with ease. It could be seen that his cooking skills were not bad.
He Yuzhu, who was watching from the side, was already stunned. He never dreamed that his cousin could really cook. Moreover, from his knife skills to his proficiency in cooking, Zhang Hexuan could definitely be considered an old chef.
He had been a chef for many years, so he was definitely not wrong about this.
However, Zhang Hexuan had just turned eighteen this year. It didn't make sense for him to have such superb cooking skills!
Zhang Hexuan could not help but ask,""Brother, where did you learn your culinary skills? Tell Big Brother the truth. I've been doing this for many years, but I can't even watch over several tables at the same time!”
Zhang Hexuan casually said,"I figured it out myself. Big brother, maybe he has some talent!"”
In fact, he had made all of this up. His cooking skills came from the system reward.
Zhang Hexuan suddenly had a super Master Chef in his ability program. He guessed that it was because he had sent Jia Zhangshi to the detention center last time.
However, the level of the ability was not high, only level 1.
However, he was equivalent to a third-grade chef in today's society. As a second-grade chef, He Yuzhu felt that his cooking skills were not as good as Zhang Hexuan's.
However, He Yuzhu might have overlooked one point. Zhang Hexuan was not from the factory, but he was willing to stay and help him cook. Was it just to help him solve the crisis?
Actually, Zhang Hexuan had his own motives.
In the 1960s, 1970s, and even the 1980s and 1990s, a leader could completely determine a person's life path for the rest of his life.
That's right, Zhang Hexuan was now an inspector of the street office. Although he still had some power, how could he stay in that position for his entire life? He was still so young. He definitely had to work hard to climb up.
Therefore, he would definitely grab the opportunity to get to know the leader. It would definitely be beneficial to his future development.
"Self-study? Not bad, kid! So you asked me to make dumplings last time to save me face!”
He Yuzhu did not doubt Zhang Hexuan's explanation at all. He was sure that he could not think of any other reason.
He Yuzhu looked at the plates of delicious food on the table and felt ashamed.
"Brother, your cooking is really good!”He Yuzhu said excitedly," You're much better than me. Teach me when you have time. Looking at your cooking, I feel like I've worked for nothing for so many years."”
"How can you say that it was for nothing?" Zhang Hexuan said modestly. I've just been out and seen a lot of things. I can't compare my basic skills to yours…"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu felt a little better, but he knew that Zhang Hexuan was taking care of his self-esteem.
At this moment, Qin Huairu came out from behind the stove. She looked at the table full of delicacies and gulped.
"Zhang Hexuan, when the leader has leftovers later, can you let me pack some and go home? I'll let the two children at home try it."
"I don't want the noodles. I'll just bring some leftovers, okay?”
Zhang Hexuan looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful expression and nodded with a smile.""Alright, if there's anything left, pack it up and bring it back.”
Qin Huairu was so happy that she could not close her mouth.
The dishes on the table were complete with chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and the portions were especially sufficient.
Qin Huairu was determined to get the leftovers from the leaders. She was sure that the leaders often ate big fish and meat. With so many dishes, they could only eat half at most.
In the 1960s, there was a shortage of supplies, and almost no one could afford to eat meat.
However, the leaders were different. Their standard of food was chicken, duck, fish, pigs, cows, and sheep. There were also eels and old turtles.
Therefore, the leftovers of the leaders at that time naturally became the delicious dishes that the common people dreamed of.
Soon, Zhao Weimin returned.
"Comrade Zhang Hexuan, are you done?"
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Zhao Weimin was stunned at first, then he rushed up excitedly and hugged Zhang Hexuan.
"Amazing!"
" Zhang Hexuan, you're my brother from now on. That's great. You said you could finish it in half an hour, and you did it in half an hour. That's amazing. Quick, serve the dishes…"
As soon as Zhao Weimin spoke, he immediately began to serve the dishes. Soon, the dishes in the kitchen were sent to the private room one by one.
In the kitchen, Zhang Hexuan poured himself a cup of tea and was drinking it while Qin Huairu continued cleaning.
Her current mission was to help Zhang Hexuan in the kitchen, so she had to clean the kitchen. Otherwise, her bonus would be deducted.
However, her heart had not given up yet. As she cleaned, she looked at her bag of white flour.
So, she walked to He Yuzhu's side and whispered.
"Silly Zhu, when you're done, do me a favor, okay?”
He Yuzhu did not even think about it and nodded."Alright, say it. I'll help if I can."
This time, Qin Huairu was overjoyed. She really wanted to talk about stealing noodles earlier.
Suddenly, a man with a straight back and sharp eyes entered the kitchen door. He should have been a soldier.
He looked at the three of them and finally stopped at Zhang Hexuan as he asked seriously.
"You must be Zhang Hexuan! Were you the one who cooked the dishes just now?”
Zhang Hexuan stood up and nodded."Yes, I am."
The young man in the tunic suit looked at him and said coldly,"Let's go. There's something wrong with your vegetables. Come with me to take a look!”
He Yuzhu's expression changed immediately. She was worried. The leaders must be dissatisfied with Zhang Hexuan's dishes.
As expected, he wouldn't be disappointed. Whatever he was afraid of came true…
