Chapter 567: After eating, I went back to the courtyard to watch the fun
The box was full of leaders, and Chen Jun didn't like to say too much flattery or polite words.
How nice it would be to be a cook quietly and quietly!
But Director Yang came to the kitchen with a purpose, and he had to take Chen Jun to the private room.
There was no choice but for Chen Jun to take off his apron and follow Director Yang to the reception room.
After taking a look after entering the room, Chen Jun saw a few familiar-looking people in the room. These people had been to the steel rolling mill before.
When those unfamiliar leaders saw Chen Jun, they looked at each other in surprise.
Director Chen, it turns out he is so young!
Like many people, after eating the dishes cooked by Chen Jun, they subconsciously thought that he was a mature and steady master chef.
But who would have thought that it was a young man.
"Come, Xiao Chen, sit next to me." Old Liu waved at Chen Jun with a smile.
Chen Jun smiled and shook his head. This occasion was not appropriate and he had no intention of having a long chat.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu did not force him and helped him introduce the leaders in the room.
After getting to know each other, Chen Jun finally understood why Director Yang attached so much importance to today's reception. All the people here are big shots!
One of the leaders wearing black-framed glasses said with a smile: "Master Chen, your cooking skills are beyond our expectations, especially this state banquet dish, which is really unforgettable."
"To be honest, I once had the honor of tasting boiled cabbage at Diaoyutai. To be honest, the quality of these two boiled cabbages is almost the same. Did it take a lot of effort?"
This leader is familiar with boiled cabbage and knows that behind the delicious taste are many complicated steps.
What impressed him most was the cost of this dish.
On the surface, it looks like just some soup and a cabbage heart, but the cost behind it is no less than a roasted suckling pig, and it would cost at least ten yuan.
In other words, the standard of today's dinner was a bit high and a bit wasteful.
With Director Yang's reminder just now, Chen Jun instantly understood what the leader meant.
I glanced down at Mr. Liu and found that he was still smiling, and it was obvious that he meant the same thing.
“It didn’t take much effort.”
"The traditional Chinese cabbage soup needs at least half a day to make the soup, but our steel mill doesn't have this condition, so I slightly modified the recipe of this dish."
"Leader, you must know that the key to boiled cabbage lies in the first two words, and the boiled water here is actually the soup. If you want to make a qualified boiled cabbage, you must first ensure that the soup is fresh enough!"
"Speaking of freshness, there are actually many ways to cook it. You can use mushrooms, radishes, ducks, etc. to make vegetarian soup. The advantage of doing this is that it saves time and cost."
Chen Jun did not explain the specific production process in detail, because even if he did, they might not understand it.
Vegetarian broth sounds simple, but the actual operation requires quite a lot of skills. However, this is nothing for Chen Jun.
This dish of boiled cabbage only requires some radishes and mushrooms.
Half of the duck was made into hand-shredded duck, and the cabbage leaves were thrown into Sha Zhu's big pot of food.
Director Song shamelessly took away most of the remaining soup, saying that he wanted to send it to his wife to taste.
Thinking of this, Chen Jun glanced at the dishes on the table, and after searching for a long time he couldn't find the plate of hand-shredded duck.
I guess they have been completely wiped out.
"Um...the dish of hand-shredded duck just served uses the duck in the vegetarian broth." Chen Jun said, pointing casually.
"So that's how it is!" The leader with black-framed glasses nodded with satisfaction: "The improved method can still make boiled cabbage so amazing, Master Chen is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Since the reception was not out of the ordinary and not extravagant, they had no objections.
Not only did he have no objection, but he even felt a little guilty towards Chen Jun and Director Yang.
People had put so much thought into preparing a treat for them, but he felt that the meal was not prepared properly.
"Xiao Yang, I think there is no problem with the approvals you submitted. You will receive the approval documents in the afternoon."
"As for expansion and establishing new departments, your factory should discuss and decide on your own."
Can I get the documents in the afternoon?
Upon hearing this, Director Yang was shocked and felt that this meal was an unexpected surprise.
He knew in the morning that the approval was a sure thing, but he didn't expect it to be approved so quickly.
As long as the documents are in place, we can immediately form a team and get to work.
The sooner he can gain the capacity for mass production of new machine tools, the sooner he can move up.
"Thank you, boss!" Director Yang's smile could hardly be suppressed.
"Master Chen, you have worked hard. I'm afraid I will have to trouble you again in the future." The leader wearing black-framed glasses said with a smile.
This project of the steel rolling mill has become a key focus of attention. After the matters in the workshop and department are settled, he will definitely come to the steel rolling mill every now and then to check the progress.
By then, we will have to eat in the factory.
Of course, the steel rolling mills in the future will definitely not have the same standards as today, but being able to eat vegetable steamed bread every meal is also a very happy thing!
There is also the bread from the steel mill. No one knows how the steel mill developed that little thing, but his granddaughter is so greedy for it that she will have to go to the cafeteria to buy some when she leaves.
Chen Jun smiled and said some polite words, then turned and left the private room.
Before he returned to the kitchen, he heard someone calling his name from afar.
I turned around and took a look, and found that it was Xu Damao.
This guy was walking towards him with two lunch boxes in his hands, shaking his head.
"Is the matter resolved?" Chen Jun asked casually.
"It's all settled!" Xu Damao cursed, "That damned Jia Zhang, not only behaved like a hooligan to me, but she even spread rumors about me in the courtyard, saying that I was going to eat peanuts."
"My parents found out and quickly went back to discuss it with Jia Zhang, but that crazy woman asked for 2,000 yuan!"
"Damn, I'll kill her sooner or later!"
Two thousand yuan?
Even Chen Jun felt a little numb when he heard this amount.
You are crazy to ask for so much.
But since the matter had been resolved, Chen Jun did not continue to ask, but looked at the lunch box in Xu Damao's hand and asked: "It's already this late, you are not coming to the cafeteria to eat, are you?"
It was already past meal time in the cafeteria, and Liu Lan and the others had already started cleaning.
When Xu Damao arrived at this time, he couldn't even make it in time to wash the pot.
"Oh, don't mention it. I forgot about making steamed bread for lunch!" Xu Damao sighed in annoyance: "When I remembered it, it was already this late."
"Well, is there anything left in the cafeteria? Give me something. I have to go back to the courtyard to watch the fun after I'm full!"
