Chapter 13 Director Li's Layout
The kitchen office of the steel rolling mill.
Uncle Zhang seemed to be very familiar with Director Zhou in the kitchen, and after meeting, it was more like two friends greeting each other.
It took almost two minutes of chatting before the topic turned to Wang Dong.
"Old Zhou..."
"Don't you often complain that there's no one in the kitchen?"
"I've brought you a talent!"
“Wang Dong…”
"One of my nephews."
"Take over the job from Lao Chen in the Security Department!"
"You should have heard about Lao Chen's story. He was shot in the thigh while chasing a spy, and his thigh was shattered!"
"Plus, my thigh was injured when I was in the army, and now I am limping!"
"Wang Dongjin took over his job at the steel rolling mill!"
"Don't bully others!"
"Although Wang Dong is young, he is also the orphan of a martyr!"
Director Zhou’s first impression of Wang Dong was that he was honest and suitable for working in the kitchen.
But he still reminded me seriously: "Since you are here to take over..."
"I would accept it even if the kitchen doesn't need anyone."
"But the kitchen has its own rules."
"Even if Wang Dong is the orphan of a martyr, I have a good relationship with you, Lao Zhang, and we still have to abide by the rules."
"He'll be an apprentice for three years first... During this time, I'll try to find him a master for Lao Zhang's sake!"
"When the time comes, I will be hired as a full-time employee and try to get a chef's license. Then I can get a higher salary and have a foothold in the kitchen of a steel mill."
Director Zhou spoke in a very conventional manner in order to prevent Captain Zhang from asking him to violate discipline for Wang Dong.
Uncle Zhang could see Director Zhou's thoughts and said directly, "Old Zhou..."
"I just reminded you not to underestimate Wang Dong."
"How could you forget so quickly!"
"Although Xiao Wang is young, he is already a real chef."
"I just passed the ninth-level chef certification exam!"
"According to the rules of our steel mill... you can become a regular employee upon joining and get the salary of a level nine chef right away!"
“Wang Dong…”
"Hurry up and take out your ninth-level chef certificate!"
Director Zhou immediately showed a shocked expression, and only reacted when Wang Dong took out the chef's certificate which was still wet.
Old Xiang Wangdong's gaze no longer had the contemptuous look it had before.
Although Wang Dong is only a level nine chef, he is very young.
Maybe in a few years I can grow into a level 7 chef, or even a level 6 or 5 chef...
Immediately answered: "Lao Zhang..."
"If you want an apprentice in the kitchen... I'll just give you the nod!"
"But Xiao Wang is a level nine chef now, so he needs Director Li's approval... and he might even have to taste test the food!"
"The third cafeteria is closest to the office building!"
"Take Xiao Wang over there and prepare to taste the food..."
"I'm going to find Director Li!"
"If Director Li is satisfied with the dishes you cook, you can get the salary of an eighth-level chef!"
"So you must use all your skills when you taste the food later..."
"Thank you Director Zhou for the reminder. I will do my best..." This was the first sentence Wang Dong said after meeting Director Zhou.
Although he doesn't talk much, Director Zhou thinks this is a sign that Wang Dong is sensible.
He knows how to read people's eyes and when to speak and when not to speak. Compared with He Yuzhu, who is also a cook, he is much better! Director Zhou even thought of replacing He Yuzhu with Wang Dong.
But all of this is based on Wang Dong's good cooking skills.
Not long after Wang Dong entered the third canteen, he saw Director Zhou appear at the door of the kitchen with a middle-aged man.
Wang Dong knew at a glance that he was Deputy Director Li, who would dominate the steel mill for nearly twenty years in the future.
Although his character is not that good, he is really good to his own people.
As long as you help him with things, he will definitely reward you generously.
If he could hold onto Deputy Director Li's thigh when he was unable to resist the general trend, the safety of himself and his family would be guaranteed when the wind started to blow.
Thinking of this, Wang Dong immediately made up his mind that he would try his best in today's food tasting so that Director Li would be impressed by him.
"Director... this is the Wang Dong I told you about..." Director Zhou pointed at Wang Dong and introduced him.
Director Li took a look at Wang Dong and his first reaction was that he was too young and unreliable.
But he didn't say much.
A chef is a person who can tell the real deal by what he does. Whether Wang Dong is capable or not will be known after he tries.
Pointing at the potatoes and carp on the table, he said, "Conditions are limited..."
"First, stir-fry some shredded potatoes. If the taste is good, then make a braised carp..."
Wang Dong didn't waste any time. He picked up a peeled potato and started shredding it.
The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board soon began, very rhythmic...
Take another look at the potato shreds Wang Dong has already cut: they are of uniform thickness and have almost no flaws!
This alone makes him better than He Yuzhu.
The contempt on Director Li's face suddenly disappeared.
The factory is selecting a new chef for the small kitchen, and He Yuzhu is the most popular candidate.
But Director Li didn't want to choose him.
On the one hand, this person has a bad temper and often goes against me.
On the other hand, He Yuzhu was too close to Director Yang and was Director Yang's man.
The small kitchen in the back kitchen plays a huge role in winning over subordinates and maintaining relationships with leaders of surrounding factories. Director Li does not want such an important position to be in the hands of an outsider.
If Wang Dong's cooking skills are better than He Yuzhu's, then he would have a reason to let Wang Dong be in charge of the small kitchen and take the opportunity to develop Wang Dong into his own person.
As I was thinking about it, a fragrant aroma spread directly in the kitchen.
From putting the oil into the pan to removing it from the pan, the whole process takes less than twenty seconds, and a plate of fresh and fragrant spicy and sour potato shreds is ready.
When Wang Dong brought the plate over, Director Li couldn't help but take a bite. Then a look of shock appeared on his face, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Director Zhou thought the dish was not tasty, so he quickly took a bite and was also shocked.
Before he could recover from the shock, he heard Director Li sigh to Wang Dong: "Well done..."
“This is definitely the best shredded potato I’ve ever eaten…”
"Hurry up and make the braised fish, and call the head of the personnel department!"
Wang Dong’s cooking was better than he had imagined, so Director Li felt relieved and immediately decided to put the idea that had just popped into his mind into practice.
Don't let Director Yang get there first, that would be a huge loss.
Although he was the director of logistics, he couldn't say much if Director Yang assigned He Yuzhu to do special treatment.
Now that Wang Dong was here, his cooking was even better than He Yuzhu's, so Director Yang asked him to be in charge of the kitchen. Even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn't think of a reason.
After all, the small kitchen is related to the steel rolling mill's orders. If a good cook is left unused and a bad cook is used instead, no one can take the responsibility if an accident happens in the future.
Director Li decided to use a braised fish dish to convince Wang Dong to be in charge of the special kitchen.
As for He Yuzhu...
Keep doing what you should do!
Now that Wang Dong is in the kitchen, if he doesn’t get along with me in the future, he will be sent directly to the workshop to work as a porter!
Braised fish is much more troublesome than shredded potatoes, but Director Li is not in a hurry at all.
While waiting for the head of the personnel department, he was thinking about how to make Wang Dong his own person!
