Chapter 314 Cooking Skills and Education
"Just come back if you want. You can't ask me, as his father, to go out and pick him up!"
"Hehe, who told you this?
Didn’t Manager Luan just say that your Zhuzi is going to organize a chef assessment when he comes back? How about we start now? "
"You two are the chefs, and you have the final say on the cooking assessment. Even if Zhuzi becomes the manager in the future, he cannot break the rules of the kitchen."
Seeing Mou Changxun and Wang Shizhen talking about the cooking test, Mou Chaoming, who had just walked into the gate, said,
"I say, you two, please stop now.
Zhuzi and I have been out running all morning, and we haven't had dinner yet. If there is anything, we can talk after dinner."
Hearing Mou Chaoming say that the two of them had been out for a long time and hadn't had lunch yet, He Daqing asked directly,
"What's going on, Manager Mou? How can this be considered a business trip?
Neither the farm nor the health department provides food.”
"Why would you bother? Zhuzi and I just decided to go there on a whim. They didn't prepare any food for us, and we couldn't buy anything even with the food coupons.
When we got back to the city, we thought that we only had a short time anyway, so we decided to save some money and not eat out.
By the way, what did you have for lunch today? Did you leave any food for us? "
"What can I do? I just steamed some buns, made some fried pork slices, and fried some radish and cabbage as usual.
We didn't know that you two had no food to eat when you went out to do business.
I didn’t even think about staying.”
After Wang Shizhen finished speaking, Mou Changxun continued,
"How about this, Manager Mou? Since you guys haven't eaten yet and Zhuzi wants to test your cooking skills, why don't we just do it together? It will only make Zhuzi a little tired.
But young people don’t have any problem coming.”
After Mou Changxun finished speaking, everyone else looked at He Yuzhu.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.
"I don't have any problem. When I was fighting on the front line, I often didn't eat on time, but I still beat the foreign devils.
Today, I will listen to Master Mou and cook for myself."
Seeing that He Yuzhu had no problem, Mou Changxun and Wang Shizhen, the two cooks, stood up and walked towards the kitchen without saying anything.
As he walked, he smiled and asked He Daqing,
"Xiao He,
When you asked for leave the day before yesterday, I heard you said that your courtyard had prepared several tables of eight-bowl banquets.
"Zhu Zi is helping you, right? How good is his cooking skill? Maybe he has lost his cooking skill after fighting on the front line for three years!"
At this time, He Daqing also stood up. After hearing what Mou Changxun said, he said helplessly,
“I really don’t know.
When I returned, Zhu had already dealt with everything.
When I asked him to help me, he said that it was unreasonable to let the main character cook for the welcoming banquet, and that was not helpful at all. "
"Haha, that makes sense!"
Seeing Mou Chaoming, Mou Changxun, Wang Shizhen, He Daqing and others taking He Yuzhu into the kitchen,
Although the other people in Fengze Garden had no expectations for He Yuzhu's cooking skills,
But they still followed in one after another to watch the excitement.
Anyway, even if my cooking skills have really been abandoned as Mou Changxun said, it’s not a big deal. I can just take it as fun and go and take a look.
Manager Mou Chaoming doesn’t know how to cook, but that doesn’t affect their ability to be managers.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Mou Changxun turned around and looked at He Yuzhu and asked with a smile,
"Zhu Zi, we don't know much about your current cooking skills. Anyway, the ingredients are here, you can choose and cook them yourself!" After hearing Mou Changxun's words, He Yuzhu first looked at the ingredients in the kitchen.
Then he turned to look at Mou Chaoming and asked,
"Manager Mou, we've been out for a while, and we can't afford to eat too much.
How about we fry some pork tenderloin and some steamed buns for lunch today?
"
"Okay, I don't have many meals in Fengze Garden anymore, so let's be a little extravagant today and stir-fry some tenderloin!"
Seeing that Mou Chaoming agreed, He Yuzhu first put the cooled steamed buns back into the steamer, and then picked up the kitchen knife and pork tenderloin and started working.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell the quality of a dish by its first touch. It just so happens that there are many chef masters in the kitchen of Fengze Garden.
Seeing He Yuzhu's swift movements, Mou Changxun glanced at Wang Shizhen.
Then the two of them nodded in unison.
"Zhu Zi, did you really fight on the front line of the peninsula for two or three years? I see that your knife skills have not been neglected at all, and they are much better than Xiao Wang's."
"Yes, in April this year, Xiao Wang represented our Daxia at the Leipzig International Fair, and his knife skills were well received.
Zhuzi, your knife skills are better than Xiaowang's.
It doesn't look like he's busy fighting on the front lines and neglecting his craft."
Hearing the two head chefs praising He Yuzhu's knife skills as better than their own, Wang Yijun, who was now the chief chef of cutting and preparing dishes at Fengzeyuan, couldn't help but look at He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu kept his hands busy and said with a smile,
"Master Mou, Master Wang, it is true that I am busy fighting on the front line, but it is not like there is fighting every day at the front line.
If there were wars on the front line every day,
Not only we can't stand it, but the joint forces can't stand it either.
The lives of foreign devils are much more valuable than ours. If too many of them die, not only will the government go bankrupt, but their leaders will also be driven out by the people."
Mou Chaoming and his men had all experienced troubled times, so they naturally knew that it was impossible for the front lines to fight every day.
But no one said that the supplies on the front line were sufficient to allow soldiers to practice cooking every day.
He's not from the kitchen.
"Zhu Zi, then tell me what you do when you are not fighting on the front line? The army should not have that much meat for you to practice your cooking skills!"
"Hunting,
Master Mou, I have to tell you that I and my men have caused great damage to the mountains near our base.
We have almost driven tigers and black bears to extinction.
Not to mention pork, I have even personally cooked bear paws several times, and the taste is simply amazing.”
Mou Changxun and Wang Shizhen widened their eyes when they heard He Yuzhu say that he hunted on the front line and even hunted bear paws several times.
Although they are the best chefs in Beijing,
But precious food like bear paws is not something you can get just by wanting it, let alone getting it several times in a short period of time.
"You've made me want to go to the frontline to serve as a soldier.
But I'm old and weak, and I guess the army won't want me even if I go. You young people are better.
By the way, Zhuzi, you can't just be idle and hunting on the front line,
Anything else?"
Seeing that they were curious about his experiences outside of fighting, He Yuzhu smiled and said,
"Yes, our PLA has been promoting literacy campaigns since its inception. Most of the cadres in the State Council were born in the army's literacy classes.
I was literate before I joined the army.
When I was at the front, the regiment asked me and those comrades who could read to teach literacy classes.
I also took the junior high school diploma exam.”
