Chapter 57 Must Become a Famous One Shot
Chapter 57 Must Become a Hit (First Update)
The east wing of the front yard.
Chen Junzheng vividly told Chen Dehui about Wang Dong's outstanding performance at the whole institute meeting.
When talking about the excitement, his whole face is covered with pride.
Chen Dehui's face was full of surprise.
No one expected that Wang Dong could resolve Yi Zhonghai's plan so easily, and make him suffer several losses in front of everyone in the courtyard, completely losing face!
I was in a very happy mood, with a relieved expression on my face, feeling that I had finally done justice to my old comrades who had sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
At the same time, he was completely relieved about the future of his eldest daughter.
With Wang Dong protecting Chen Jun in the yard, she would not suffer any loss even if she died in the future.
Seeing that Chen Jun was getting more and more exaggerated and almost boasting about herself, Wang Dong quickly called her aside: "Sister Jun..."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say..."
"It's already very late..."
"Let's quickly pickle the pork that Auntie bought..."
"I'll make smoked bacon in a few days..."
“Try to finish it before the end of the year!”
"Otherwise we'd still have to sit in an iron barrel smoking bacon during the New Year!"
Two pounds of pork belly in a long strip, looks very even...
It can be seen that these porks are all good meat that my aunt carefully selected from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Edible salt, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns...
Put all the raw materials into an iron pan and stir-fry over low heat. After they become fragrant, put them aside to cool. Then start to spread salt on each piece of pork and arrange them evenly in the ceramic pot.
Although Wang Dong was very familiar with the entire pickling process, it still took him nearly an hour to complete it.
Uncle Chen and Aunt Li were standing behind Wang Dong and were dazzled.
When Wang Dong put the last piece of pork into the jar, he asked in surprise: "Dongzi..."
“It’s so easy to marinate the meat!”
Wang Dong nodded: "It's cold now. Even if we have a stove at home, the temperature is higher than outside. It will take at least five days to pickle it!"
"During this period, the meat must be turned over every day..."
“Put the upper layer on the lower layer, and the lower layer on the upper layer… This way the meat can be marinated more evenly!”
"Auntie, if you have time these days, you can go outside the city and cut some cypress branches and bring them back..."
"That's the best material for smoking bacon."
"After marinating, take it out and let it air dry for two days before smoking it!"
"If the fire doesn't stop, it will be ready in five or six days!"
Chen Dehui has done very little since he was injured. As time went on, he always felt that he was a burden to his family. His mood became increasingly depressed, and he felt that his life had no meaning.
After listening to Wang Dong's introduction, Chen Dehui suddenly felt that he was useful again.
Quickly answer: "Dongzi..."
"The rest of the work will be left to uncle and aunt..."
"I'll stay at home these few days to turn the meat, and your aunt will go out of town to cut cypress branches..."
"The meat is drying at home..."
"Just hang it in my and your aunt's room. It will be well ventilated and won't be discovered by anyone."
"When the repairmen arrive tomorrow..."
"First, open up the side door of the wing room and install a wooden door..."
"After it's dried, I'll be in charge of the iron barrel smoking the meat..."
"It just so happens that my family is renovating the house at this time, so I can definitely hide it from the people in the yard!"
…………
Next three days.
Wang Dong goes to work on time every day. He first leads the kitchen to prepare big pot dishes, and then leads two chefs to prepare small dishes.
Maybe because it was almost Chinese New Year, we had special meals for three consecutive nights.
Although he got off work late, Director Li gave all the leftovers from the small kitchen to Wang Dong to deal with.
Because these leftovers are compensation from the factory leaders to the overtime workers in the kitchen, they can take them home.
Although the quantity was small, it was enough for Wang Dong to win over another wave of people. When there was not much leftovers, Master Li and Master Tang took turns to serve the dishes.
When there are a lot of leftovers, two people can take them together...
As for Wang Dong himself.
Although the salary is not high, I still look down on these leftovers of others.
In addition, he knew the personalities of the neighbors in the courtyard. If they knew that he often brought food back from the kitchen, they would definitely come over to take advantage of him.
If I were targeted by a neighbor like Jia Zhang, he might even run to the steel mill to report me, accusing me of stealing their property.
Although the factory leaders allowed Wang Dong to take the leftovers home, he still didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of these little things.
So he never took any leftovers with him, and all of them went to Master Li and Master Tang.
…………
8am on Sunday.
Chef Li and Chef Tang from the kitchen appeared at the gate of the courtyard at the same time.
After meeting up with Wang Dong, they rushed to the courtyard where Director Wang of the Meat Processing Factory was located.
As the factory director, his family occupied an entire yard.
An earthen stove had been set up in a corner of the yard.
Pork, fish, chicken...
All the processed ingredients are piled in the boxes.
There were six large round tables in the middle of the yard, and many people were busy around them.
Place plates of melon seeds, candies... in the middle of the table.
"Master Wang...I'm relying on you for lunch today!"
Director Wang saw Wang Dong and his two kitchen helpers entering the yard from a distance and hurried over to greet them.
"Thank you, leader!" Wang Dong immediately replied with a humble expression.
"I'm just a cook..."
"Cooking is our duty..."
"I will definitely do my best to prepare this lunch and not embarrass you!"
Director Wang has tried the Hunan cuisine made by Wang Dong and found it better than he had imagined.
If he really tried his best to prepare lunch, he would definitely be able to save face in front of his father, his superiors and his colleagues.
He immediately replied: "Master Wang, I feel relieved with your words!"
"I have prepared all the materials you want!"
"If you have any other needs, just let me know."
In fact, even without Director Wang’s reminder, Wang Dong would do his best to prepare lunch.
Today's banquet was the first time he hosted a banquet outside.
And those who came to the banquet were not ordinary people.
After all, Director Wang’s identity is there.
Prepare a good banquet, let everyone eat and drink well, and remember you. In the future, when they have a banquet at home and need someone to cook, they will definitely think of you first.
Then your reputation as a cook will become famous overnight, and you will have endless banquets to prepare in the future.
Braised pork…fish head with chopped pepper…chicken with spicy sauce…mapo tofu…stir-fried pork intestines…boiled fish that made a stunning debut…
After the delicious dishes with rich aromas were served, even though the people who came to the banquet were at least directors in status.
But in front of the delicious food, everyone was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and all joined the ranks of grabbing food.
Because many of the dishes made by Wang Dong have been improved upon by later generations and are more in line with the tastes of Chinese people.
There were even many people who started asking about the chef for today's banquet before the banquet was over.
After learning that he came from the kitchen of a steel rolling mill, Director Li, who came to celebrate the birthday, unexpectedly became the star of the party without realizing it. Many cadres who had never met him before found him, hoping to use his connections to ask Wang Dong to help them prepare the banquet.
Director Li never thought that an ordinary banquet prepared by Wang Dong would bring him so many unexpected surprises.
