Chapter 566 Don’t Be Extravagant

Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the private room was pushed open and Liu Lan walked in holding a small porcelain basin.

This dish looks ordinary on the surface, but it catches the eyes of many leaders.

There was only one small cabbage lying in the small porcelain bowl!

If I remember correctly, this should be the boiled cabbage that appeared at the state banquet, right?

Can you eat this kind of thing in a steel mill?

"Young comrade, is this boiled cabbage?" one of the leaders asked uncertainly.

Liu Lan shook her head: "Leader, I don't know what this dish is called either."

She was just a handyman in the kitchen, responsible for serving the dishes to the private rooms. As for what the dishes were called or how to eat them, that was not her business.

In fact, they were not mistaken. This dish is indeed boiled cabbage in Sichuan cuisine. Although it looks ordinary, it is very difficult to make.

The reason why the leader just asked this question was that he thought this dish should not appear here.

"Is it true? Just give it a taste." Old Liu said calmly, then he picked up the spoon and added two spoonfuls of 'boiling water' to himself, then tasted it with his eyes closed.

"Yes, that's right, it's really boiled cabbage."

There were also a few people in the private room who had never had boiled cabbage, so someone asked curiously: "What's wrong with boiled cabbage? Is there anything special about this dish?"

"It's nothing special, it's just a state banquet dish." Old Liu explained with a smile: "You think this dish doesn't look special, but in fact, the soup inside is extremely particular. It is a dish that takes a lot of time and ingredients."

"Xiao Yang, don't be so extravagant in the future."

Director Yang was criticized out of the blue and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Why is there such a waste for no reason? Is there something fishy about this state banquet dish?

Although Director Yang didn't understand what was going on, he nodded and said that he would pay attention next time. He was thinking about going to Chen Jun to ask about the situation after the reception.

I don’t know if it’s Director Yang’s psychological effect, but he feels that the atmosphere in the private room has become a little strange since the boiled cabbage was served.

Although the leaders were eating attentively, no one spoke.

This made Director Yang worried.

When the last dish of soup was brought into the box, today's reception came to an end.

Old Liu glanced at Director Yang and said, "Xiao Chen's cooking skills always amaze me. When I have free time in the future, I will come to your factory for meals."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became much lighter.

Director Yang's heart finally settled down.

Apart from anything else, at least Mr. Liu is normal and he even wants to come to the factory for free meals.

It’s good to have a free meal!

Director Yang welcomes leaders to come and have meals at any time.

There are still many procedures to go through at the steel rolling mill. If you have more contact with these leaders, you will definitely get some convenience.

"Director, the vegetable steamed bread is out of the pot."

Originally, there was going to be dumplings as the main course for today's reception, but Chen Jun felt that it was a bit unnecessary to make a separate plate of dumplings, so he simply replaced the dumplings with vegetable steamed bread as the main course.

Vegetable steamed bread is the most popular staple food in the cafeteria. After all, it is a specialty of the factory, so there is nothing wrong with letting the leaders have a taste of it.

When Director Yang saw the vegetable steamed buns brought by Liu Lan, he immediately grinned.

I was just criticized for being wasteful, but now this vegetable steamed bread should be able to restore some leaders' impression of the steel mill, right?

So Director Yang moved the vegetable steamed bread to the middle of the table and introduced it with a smile: "This is also a specialty of our steel rolling mill. It is called vegetable steamed bread. It is made from wild vegetables and tastes quite good."

"You can eat it directly or dip it in mashed garlic."

In fact, there was no need for Director Yang to introduce it. The leaders in the box were also attracted by this basket of vegetable steamed buns.

Is this made of wild vegetables? ?

Why do I smell a meaty aroma?

Old Liu raised his eyebrows. The fragrance he smelled before was exactly the smell of this vegetable steamed bread.

But, this vegetable steamed bread is out of the pot a little late!

They are already full, and if they have some more staple food, their stomachs will probably protest.

But at today's dinner, Director Yang talked the most about the vegetable steamed bread, which also made them very curious.

Why are there so many delicious foods in the steel mill canteen? Even wild vegetables can be made into delicious dishes!

"Since you said so, let's try it."

It was Old Liu who was more considerate. He picked up a vegetable steamed bun, broke it in half, and took a small bite first.

hiss......

The taste is surprisingly fragrant!

It’s called vegetable steamed bread, but it doesn’t taste bitter at all. Instead, it has a fresh fragrance mixed with a strong meaty aroma.

They had just finished their meal, and the vegetable steamed bread alone was a little greasy, but the plate of mashed garlic that was served at the same time solved this problem perfectly.

In a short while, the whole basket of vegetable steamed bread was eaten up.

Director Yang couldn't help but grin when he saw this.

His guess turned out to be correct. No matter who encounters vegetable steamed bread, they will like it, without any surprises.

Because in the steel mill, no matter it is the workers in the workshop, the security department patrolling the factory, or the small leaders in the office building, no one can refuse vegetable steamed bread.

Even if the canteen didn't make steamed bread for a while, the workers would complain.

After resting for a while, one of the leaders asked Director Yang if he could meet Director Chen who was in charge of reception.

Director Yang naturally would not refuse, and went to the kitchen happily.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Director Yang couldn't wait to ask, "Chen Jun, there seems to be something wrong with today's meal."

"What's wrong?" Chen Jun put down the large porcelain jar in his hand and asked curiously.

The reception was carried out according to the normal procedures. There was no problem with any dish.

"I don't know what's wrong!" Director Yang shook his head.

Chen Jun......

"Ever since the boiled cabbage dish was served, I felt that the atmosphere in the private room was not right. Some leaders even criticized me for being extravagant and wasteful." Director Yang asked in confusion, "Is there something about that dish?"

Extravagance and waste?

Chen Jun understood what was going on when he heard this.

To make normal boiled cabbage, you need to cook pork ribs and chicken, then use clear minced pork and chicken to make the broth for seasoning, and then drizzle some chicken oil when serving the soup.

This process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also consumes the most ingredients, and the least valuable thing among them is the cabbage heart.

The leader was criticized for being extravagant and wasteful, probably because he was well aware of the production process of boiled cabbage.

"I know what's going on. Director, you can explain it this way later..."

Before Chen Jun could finish his words, Director Yang raised his hand to interrupt him: "No time to explain, come with me to the private room."

"Ah? I stink all over. It's not good to go to see the leaders, right?"
