Chapter 746: Master Lu, Master Lu
After deciding on the task he was going to take over, Zhou Tian, under the guidance of the dean, received his uniform and some logistical supplies and returned to his assigned dormitory.
The dormitory was not big, just a 30-square-meter room with only a bed, a table and two stools. It was a place for him to rest when he was not at home.
There wasn't much dust inside and it looked very clean. If he guessed correctly, someone must have cleaned it before he came.
Zhou Tian put his work clothes and labor protection supplies on the bed, and picked up a rag to wipe it. After being married to Shen Yulin for so long, he has become accustomed to cleaning the house more thoroughly.
After cleaning the room, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Xiaotian, how are you? Are you done packing? If you are, I will take you to eat first! I will also take you to the cafeteria to try some food. Master Lu's cooking skills are very good!"
As the door of the dormitory was pushed open, the dean walked in, glanced around the house, and then said with a smile: "Oh, you really like to be clean!"
"Dean, you are joking. Aren't we used to it? I just packed up. Let's go. Since the dean said that Chef Lu in the cafeteria is good, I have to try it. You know, I hired a Sichuan chef to make sure the workers at the Red Star Research Institute had good food. I want to see if this Chef Lu is better than the chef I hired back then!"
Zhou Tian also said with a smile. After the previous contact, he felt that the dean was not the kind of stubborn, old-fashioned and conservative person. Now he was naturally not restrained when joking.
"Okay, then I'll let you compare and judge!"
After that, the two of them walked towards the cafeteria with their lunch boxes.
In the Fifth Research Institute, everyone from the dean to the technicians live in artificially dug air-raid shelters. Because there are so many people, the area of each person's dormitory is very small.
The canteen is a large room behind the dormitory in the air-raid shelter.
When the two arrived at the cafeteria, since it was not yet time to get off work, there were not many people inside, mostly logistics staff.
"Dean!"
"Hello, Dean!"
As the two men walked in, some people who were eating greeted the dean respectfully.
"Well, hello to you guys too!"
The dean walked Zhou Tian to the window with a kind look on his face, nodding to everyone.
"Master Lu, I brought a gourmet with me. You have to show him your best cooking skills this time. Otherwise, I will lose face, but you will lose face!"
As soon as he reached the window, Dean Wang shouted inside.
"Dean, why are you here? But don't worry, our Lao Lu has never failed you!"
As he spoke, Master Lu couldn't help but glance at Zhou Tian who was standing beside the dean: "Dean, who is this?"
"He is the gourmet I mentioned. He is also the vice president of our institute. You can do whatever you want. From now on, our institute will be under his management. If you can't satisfy his appetite, you will be in trouble in the future!"
When Dean Wang heard Master Lu's question, he immediately said exaggeratedly.
"Hello, Master Lu. Don't be fooled by the dean. I am Zhou Tian, who was just transferred here!"
Zhou Tian saw Master Lu's expression change slightly, and he could not help but introduce himself reluctantly, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He didn't expect that Dean Wang actually had such a naughty side.
If he didn't know Dean Wang's character, he would probably think that Dean Wang was very dissatisfied with him and was looking for enemies for him as soon as he came.
"Oh, it's the vice president. Look here. I'll cook for you two right away. Please wait a moment!"
When Master Lu heard that the young man in front of him was the vice president of the research institute, he was immediately shocked. He knew that President Wang basically didn't take care of things.
Now a vice president has been sent from above. From what President Wang said just now, it is clear that this young man will take over the work of the institute in place of President Wang. How dare he neglect it?
As he said that, Master Lu turned to his apprentice and shouted, "Gouzi, go and get me the fish and tofu from the warehouse."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and started to get busy.
"This Lao Lu, when he treated me, he was not so attentive. Now that he sees you, he is making tofu and fish. It's simply treating you differently!"
Seeing that Master Lu was busy, the two did not disturb him and went to a small private room to wait.
After a while, several Shandong dishes were prepared and served.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Come and try it, Xiaotian, and see if what I said is a lie!"
Dean Wang looked at the fragrant Shandong dishes in front of him and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He liked Shandong cuisine the best, but due to his busy work and his two jobs, he had no chance to come to the cafeteria to eat.
On weekdays, it was good enough for him to eat on time. Now, seeing the Shandong cuisine in front of him, how could he not be greedy.
After greeting Zhou Tian, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw Dean Wang eating with gusto. He also picked up the chopsticks to taste the food. As soon as the dish entered his mouth, he couldn't help but nod his head. Although he had never cooked or learned Shandong cuisine,
But I still know a little about it. Lu cuisine, also known as Shandong cuisine, is the only spontaneous cuisine among the four traditional Chinese cuisines. It has a long history, rich techniques, and is the cuisine that demonstrates the most skill.
Shandong cuisine is mainly salty and fresh, and pays great attention to knife skills and heat. It is best at making soup and cooking seafood, and especially incorporates Confucian culture. It can be said that Shandong cuisine is the most suitable cuisine for banquets.
The sweet and sour fish and first-class tofu soup on the table are both very challenging for a Shandong cuisine chef's basic skills. Judging from the appearance alone, Zhou Tian would give Chef Lu an eight-point rating.
You know, even if it was the dish he cooked himself, he would only rate it nine points now. Eight points could be said to have surpassed Master Liu and Uncle He.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Uncle He and Master Liu do not need to arrange the dishes.
The taste is basically the same as the other two, but for a research institute to be able to invite such an authentic Shandong cuisine master, it must be said that Director Wang really spent a lot of money.
"How is it? Xiaotian, isn't Chef Lu's cooking skill good?"
Dean Wang took a few bites and then remembered Zhou Tian beside him, and asked proudly.
You have to know that in order to invite Master Lu, he spent a lot of effort and agreed to some of Master Lu's conditions. It was not easy to invite him.
"Yes, Dean, I have to say that Chef Lu's Shandong cuisine is indeed worthy of a master!"
Zhou Tian made a fair evaluation without any concealment.
"That's right. You know, Master Lu was a royal chef for a period of time. If I hadn't spent a lot of money, he wouldn't have come to the research institute!"
Zhou Tian believed this. After all, in factories and research institutes, chefs could only reach level six at most. But it was different in restaurants and hotels. If the cooking skills were outstanding, they could be promoted to special level one, which was the standard for state banquets.
