He didn't know why Factory Manager Yang was looking for him, but when Director Xu heard that the factory manager was looking for him, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and rushed to the factory manager's office.
When he knocked on the door and entered, Director Xu saw the gloomy Manager Yang. He asked uneasily,"Manager, you were looking for me?"
Even though Director Xu was Deputy Factory Manager Li's man, if Factory Manager Yang wanted to teach him a lesson, it would be difficult for him to avoid it.
"I heard that there was meat in the canteen today, and all the workers had a large portion?" Manager Yang said solemnly.”
When Director Xu heard this, he was a little confused. He shook his head and said in confusion,"No! It was still the same dishes today. There was no big meat dish.”
When Manager Yang heard this, he immediately asked angrily,"Then may I ask, what's with Lion Head?”
When Director Xu heard Lion Head, he immediately understood and relaxed. He said,"Manager, you've misunderstood. That's not a real meatball, but a meatball made with vegetables. It's the result of Master Ye's hard work for the whole morning. He only used a little bit of pork fat, but compared to the effect of the meatball, using a little more pork fat is insignificant!”
"Vegetables, are you lying to me?”Manager Yang said angrily. He had just eaten the meatball that his secretary had bought. He was sure that it was meat. Could it be that he couldn't tell if it was meat or not?
"I really didn't lie to you. At first, I thought that Master Ye was messing around, but everyone in the kitchen was my witness. Moreover, I went to the warehouse to take stock. The meat is still there.”Department Director Xu explained in detail.
Factory Manager Yang said in disbelief,"You can guarantee that!"
"I can definitely guarantee that Master Ye's craftsmanship is really amazing. Thousands of workers in the factory ate lion's head, but no one could tell that it wasn't meat.”Director Xu said with certainty.
Factory Manager Yang tapped his fingers on the table gently. After thinking about it, he said,"You can leave now. Let Ye Qing come and see me!”
When Department Director Xu heard this, he immediately took his leave.
Not long after, Ye Qing knocked on the door of Manager Yang's office and walked in.
"Manager, you were looking for me?" Ye Qing said.
Factory Manager Yang then called Ye Qing to sit down on the sofa. He poured Ye Qing a cup of tea with a smile and asked,"What's with Lion Head?”
Ye Qing didn't think too much about it. He simply explained the cooking method of the lion's head and finally added,"I also saw that the workers were really lacking in profit, so I thought of this method. At least it didn't mess up. The workers liked it very much!”
Looking at Ye Qing's young and confident appearance, Manager Yang liked this young man in front of him more and more. He also liked Ye Qing's modest appearance.
When he first met Ye Qing, Factory Manager Yang also felt that this young man was a little sharp.
However, after trying out Ye Qing's craftsmanship, Factory Manager Yang was sure that he was not showing off his skills, but was already very humble.
If it were any other young man with such superb cooking skills, he would probably be arrogant.
"Lion Head's creativity, combined with your craftsmanship, is really amazing!”At this moment, Manager Yang was still reminiscing about the taste of the lion's head.
If Ye Qing hadn't explained in detail, he really wouldn't have known that it wasn't meat.
"It's just within my ability. In addition, I usually only like to study it!”Ye Qing replied humbly. He took a sip of the tea and found that it tasted pretty good. Although it could not compare to the good tea he bought in the game restaurant, it was still quite tasty.
Seeing that Ye Qing liked the tea leaves, Manager Yang smiled and went to the cabinet at the side. He took out a small bag of tea leaves and handed it to Ye Qing."If you like it, take it back and brew it. This thing was given to me by the higher-ups, but I don't usually drink it!”
Ye Qing did not stand on ceremony. He took the tea leaves and thanked him,""Thank you, director!"
"Regarding the matter of the deputy director of the canteen, Deputy Factory Manager Li and I have jointly reported it. At noon, a big leader of the rolling mill called and said that he wants to taste your cooking. He will come in the afternoon.”Manager Yang said.
Hearing Manager Yang's words, the first thing that came to Ye Qing's mind was the plot where Manager Yang brought He Yuzhu to the house of the big leader.
Ye Qing didn't know if it was him, but this thought flashed across his mind.
Then, he said,"When will the big leader arrive? Is there anything he doesn't eat? Also, can you tell me where the big leader is from? I can make arrangements!"”
Hearing Ye Qing's series of questions, Manager Yang thought for a moment and said,""The leader is from the Land of Abundance. As for the food that he doesn't eat, he shouldn't have any. You can arrange it yourself. However, you have to prepare the lion's head. This can give you extra points.”
Hearing Manager Yang's suggestion, Ye Qing immediately nodded and said,"Then I will go down and make the arrangements. This Lion Head is very time-consuming.”
Factory Manager Yang nodded and said," Go down and prepare. I'll get the buyer to find you for the specific ingredients. You can arrange it then. There's still time!"”
After Ye Qing heard this, he took his leave and took the bag of tea leaves.
Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li were very different. Factory Manager Yang did not have the obvious attitude of recruiting Deputy Factory Manager Li.
The feeling he gave Ye Qing was even purer. It was more of love and guidance.
And Deputy Factory Manager Li was the kind of person who wanted to pull Ye Qing into his camp. The meaning of the mountain was very obvious.
However, Ye Qing would not participate in the factional relationships in the factory. To put it bluntly, he was just a chef. He just needed to do his job well.
Ye Qing, who had returned to the kitchen, also heard the people in the kitchen say that there would be a movie in the factory at night.
At this moment, Ye Qing recalled that on the second day of the plot, Qin Huairu had brought her cousin, Qin Jingru, to introduce her to He Yuzhu. However, Xu Damao had interrupted them.
However, Qin Huairu had done it on purpose. She had brought her Qin Jingru along to show off in front of Xu Damao. How could Qin Huairu not know what kind of person Xu Damao was? How could Xu Damao remain indifferent to Qin Jingru's beautiful appearance?
Then, Xu Damao drank too much at night and He Yuzhu took off his underwear.
Qin Jingru and Ye Qing were also curious.
There were many women in the plot that far surpassed the actors themselves. Qin Jingru was also very good-looking in the movie.
Not to mention the possibility of being more beautiful in reality, even if it didn't change, it couldn't benefit Xu Damao.
As for Qin Jingru, in Ye Qing's opinion, she was a girl who wanted to marry into the city. Moreover, after she married Xu Damao, she would listen to him.
However, Ye Qing did not consider marriage, but he still wanted to fight for a good tea friend like Qin Jingru.
Now, Ye Qing was not in a hurry. He had already mastered the methods that Xu Damao knew when he was still in his teens. He had mastered all five elements of Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian.
Therefore, he was not worried at all.
Ye Qing didn't have time to rest because he still had to entertain the higher-ups in the afternoon.
However, with Ye Qing's current physical fitness, he didn't need extra rest at all. Normal rest was just entering the game, so he didn't need those few hours.
Ye Qing began to get busy again, and Ma Hua also actively came to help him.
Looking at Ye Qing's skillful preparation, Ma Hua asked curiously,""Master Ye, to what extent is your knife skill?”
Ye Qing thought for a moment and took a fresh tofu. He placed the chili on top of the tofu and used the tofu as a chopping board. Then, Ye Qing began to cut the chili quickly.
After all the chili was cut, he asked Ma Hua to take a look at the tofu and said,"See if there are any knife marks on the tofu?”
Ma Hua specially picked up the tofu and placed it in the water to look at it. In the end, not to mention the knife's edge, he couldn't even see the mark of the knife.
This was tender tofu, but Ye Qing could actually cut vegetables on it. It was simply unbelievable.
"My knife skills include carving. The knife skills above me are the knife skills of Wensi Tofu. I can quickly and accurately cut a complete piece of tofu into thin strands that are thinner than a strand of hair, and every strand of tofu is intact.
"A qualified knife skill also needs to be able to handle any ingredients. What you need to consider now is how to raise your knife skill to a qualified level. You also need to be familiar with the usage of all kinds of knives!”
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Ma Hua's face immediately turned constipated. In his opinion, he would probably have to learn this knife technique for the rest of his life.
"I can see that you have some talent. As long as you are willing to work hard, you still have a chance!”Ye Qing consoled.
In fact, in Ye Qing's opinion, Ma Hua did not have much talent.
Although cooking required hard work, it also depended on talent.
Otherwise, if Ma Hua was really talented, Ye Qing wouldn't mind taking him as an official disciple.
If Ma Hua wasn't a loyal person, he wouldn't have bothered to teach him knife skills.
As for the relationship between Ma Hua and He Yuzhu, Ye Qing had also learned about it. In fact, He Yuzhu had not officially accepted Ma Hua as a disciple. It was just a form of address, not a real name.
This was not surprising. During this period, the craftsmanship was usually passed down to their sons first.
He Yuzhu was still young. Even though he was still single, he didn't have a successor.
Everyone in the kitchen, including He Yuzhu, hoped that Ye Qing could teach Ma Hua more so that they could learn from him.
First of all, they were not young people like Ma Hua. They really did not have the face to ask an 18-year-old youth for advice.
Moreover, inheritance was a big deal these days. How could he casually ask for advice?
If he was rejected, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Ma Hua, on the other hand, was not related. He did not have a teacher to begin with, and he was about the same age as Ye Qing. He was the most suitable candidate.
In the afternoon, the people who purchased the food also brought back the ingredients.
At this time, Ye Qing had also prepared the lion's head.
The buyer brought back a grass carp, a chicken, a pig's head, and some ingredients for duck blood curd.
Ye Qing began to prepare all the ingredients again. He marinated what needed to be marinated and waited for the arrival of the leader.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Manager Yang's secretary came to the kitchen."Master Ye, the leader just inspected the workshop and is about to come over!”
Ye Qing nodded and said,""I know!"
At this moment, the higher-up was also accompanied by Factory Manager Yang to the private room. As he walked, he was still giving instructions.
"You still have to increase your production efficiency. It's the end of the year, and your production task hasn't been completed yet!”
Factory Manager Yang also had a look of crisis on his face as he said," The reason why the production can't go up is not because of the raw materials, nor is it because there are too many defective products. The workers don't have a lot of working hours every day, but the nutrition hasn't kept up. This is high-intensity work every day, and the workers can't speed up even if they want to.”
When the leader heard this, he asked curiously,"I don't think so! I saw that the workers in the workshop worked quite quickly today!”
Factory Manager Yang explained," That's because there's a dish being served today. After the workers ate it, they more or less became a little energetic. I've already instructed them. When the time comes, you can try it. It's a very magical dish!”
"If you say so, then I have to give it a try!”"And the one who cooked today is that young man called Ye Qing?" The leader asked with some interest.”
"Yes, and the dish at noon was invented by him. It's delicious and practical!”Manager Yang said.
"Bring him over for me to see later!”
In the private room, after everyone took their seats, the head said to Factory Manager Yang.
"Alright!" As soon as Manager Yang finished speaking, Liu Lan came up with a dish and said,"This is Boiled Fish, Master Ye's new dish. Please enjoy!”
Boiled live fish was not a famous dish in history. It only appeared in the 1970s.
Everyone looked curiously at the dish that was served in the basin. The fiery red chili and the snow-white fish looked appetizing.
Manager Yang also knew that Ye Qing liked to make something new, so he said,"Leader, please have a taste!"
The leader nodded and picked up a piece of fish. He said,"I also heard that the meat factory wants to hire a second-class cook and pull Ye Qing over, so I have to have a good taste!”
After the fish entered his mouth, the leader was instantly stunned. He chewed it carefully and did not say anything. Instead, he let everyone eat.
This made Manager Yang feel a little uneasy. Could it be that Ye Qing was not to his liking and had failed?
However, when Manager Yang took a bite, he was instantly relieved because the fish meat was too delicious.
It's smooth and tender. It was tender, spicy, and fragrant, leaving an endless aftertaste.
The others also tasted it and immediately fell silent. The fish meat was unexpectedly delicious, and it was especially delicious.
"This taste is excellent, and it's specially made from the taste of the Chuan Mansion. It's unique and innovative. It's definitely the best thing I've eaten in decades!”The Head then commented,"Ignoring everything else, just this dish alone shows that Master Ye Qing is definitely a young man full of creativity.”
When Manager Yang heard this, his face also revealed a happy expression.
At this moment, Liu Lan came in with a lion's head. Manager Yang said,"This is the dish that the factory workers ate at noon today. Everyone can try it. I guarantee that there will be a surprise!”
The leader looked at it and saw that it seemed to be made of meat. He couldn't tell what the surprise was at all. He picked one up and took a bite."This lion's head is very delicious, but this isn't a surprise, right?”
The big leader admitted that the lion's head was quite delicious, but it was just a meat dish. How could he be surprised?
Everyone knew that workers needed to eat meat to replenish their strength.
The others were the same. The taste of the lion's head was superb, but it had nothing to do with surprise.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Manager Yang immediately smiled and said,"This isn't an ordinary lion's head. It tastes like meat, but in fact, there's no meat at all. It's a delicacy specially created by Ye Qing for the workers.
" I don't really know the specifics. I heard that it's some kind of high-calories food. Although it's not made of meat, it can quickly replenish the high-calories needs of the workers.”
Hearing Factory Manager Yang's words, the higher-up took another bite in disbelief. When it entered his mouth, it felt and tasted like meat.
Everyone else at the dining table also took another bite. They could not taste anything else.
"I've also verified this. I can guarantee that there's really no meat in this lion's head.”Manager Yang said with certainty.
The big leader believed him. He believed in Factory Manager Yang's character. Looking at the remaining half of Lion Head in front of him, he said with emotion,"What a surprise."
The others nodded in agreement. They had also come down from above. They had indeed seen a surprise today.
However, Manager Yang shook his head and said,"However, this fake is fake after all. It can only satisfy the workers occasionally. It won't work for a long time.”
"Such a creative method is already very rare. I'm even more curious about this young man. I heard that he's a high school graduate?"”
"Yes!" Manager Yang nodded.
At this time, the other dishes were served one after another. Kung Pao Chicken, Ye Qing's special big plate chicken, Twice-cooked Pork, Red Braised Pork...
The leader ate a lot and tasted every dish carefully. He couldn't help but sigh and say,"Little Yang, you're really lucky. Such culinary skills are not inferior to any state banquet chef at all!”
