Chapter 200: Conquering the leader’s wife (page 12)
He Yuzhu, who was smiling just now, suddenly became extremely serious when he picked up the kitchen knife.
I saw the knife coming down as fast as lightning, and the vegetables and meat were cut quickly. I couldn't help but check it.
Each slice of meat and vegetables is uniform in thickness and size. When placed on the plate, it is pleasing to the eye. It is like a work of art. It can be said that the knife is like a god.
Now I believe that He Yuzhu obtained the first-level cook certificate by relying on his own ability.
He Yuzhu's movements were dizzying, and it only took about half an hour to get ready.
He Yuzhu glanced at his watch, and then asked: "Secretary Wang, when will the banquet start? I can cook in advance according to the time, so that the dishes can be served on time."
Secretary Wang recovered from the shock, nodded, turned around and went out. After a while, he came in and said, "You can cook now. As long as you cook well here, we can have dinner over there."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
He Yuzhu picked up the wok and started cooking the first dish of the day.
After a while, the aroma of the ingredients filled the kitchen. Secretary Wang sniffed slightly and couldn't help but swallowed. Master He's craftsmanship was really good, and just by virtue of this aroma, it made people's fingers twitch.
He Yuzhu saw that the ingredients were abundant, so he fried more, enough to fill two plates.
"The first dish is Kung Pao Chicken."
When the first dish of Kung Pao Chicken was put on a snow-white plate, the leader’s wife had already walked into the kitchen smelling the aroma.
Secretary Wang handed over a pair of chopsticks. The leader's wife took the chopsticks, quickly picked up the fish-flavored pork shreds and put them in her mouth.
“Mmm, it’s delicious.”
After swallowing the still hot fish-flavored shredded pork in one gulp, the leader's wife couldn't help but praise it, and then picked up a few more chopsticks. She couldn't stop at all.
"Madam, there is delicious food later, please eat slowly."
He Yuzhu couldn't help but remind him that although he only needed to prepare one table of dishes, there were still several people including the driver, nanny, wife, and himself, and they all had to eat in a while, so there were a lot of dishes behind them.
Only then did the leader's wife realize that she had lost her composure. She put down her chopsticks, swallowed the diced chicken in her mouth, stretched out her thumb, and gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up.
"Master He, your cooking skills are so good. I have eaten this Kung Pao Chicken so many times, but you are the only one who makes it the best."
"Ma'am, that's a compliment."
"No, no, absolutely not. What you make is delicious. Director Xiao Yang really hired the right person this time and did a great thing. I sincerely invite you to visit our home often in the future."
After tasting it, the leader's wife was very satisfied and directly extended the invitation.
Although He Yuzhu was full of confidence before, the praise from the leader's wife made him completely relieved.
My craftsmanship is worthy of Director Yang’s red envelope.
Kung Pao Chicken is the most common home-cooked dish. This dish can be made in any ordinary small restaurant.
It's just that the more ordinary dishes are, the more difficult it is to make them well. He Yuzhu has the blessing of the system. The Kung Pao Chicken he makes is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary chefs.
"Madam, you're so polite. It's my honor to serve you and the senior leader. As long as madam doesn't dislike it, I will often come to cook for the senior leader in the future."
He Yuzhu's decades of experience in his two lives have made him behave extraordinarily calmly, without the arrogance that ordinary young people would have after being praised.
The leader's wife was very satisfied with He Yuzhu's performance. Master He was not only an excellent cook, but also a very stable person and a talented person.
If you are not a good person, no matter how good your cooking skills are, the leader’s wife will not let him come to your door.
"Master He, you're so polite. Look what you said. We can't even invite a cook with excellent cooking skills like you. I will definitely come here often to accompany the leader in the future."
The leader's wife's face was filled with joy, and her tone and demeanor became more enthusiastic. She lost the condescending look at the beginning and became amiable.
Secretary Wang had been waiting for a long time. After seeing that the leader's wife had confirmed, he went out with another plate of Kung Pao Chicken without using his chopsticks.
There was no one in the corridor. Secretary Wang couldn't help but pinch a piece of chicken from the side and put it in his mouth. It turned out that the dishes cooked by Master Xiao He were so delicious.
As the saying goes, people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.
Only now did I believe that the young He Yuzhu was an excellent cook.
Since the leader's wife knew that He Yuzhu was a superb cook, she didn't leave anymore and just waited nearby.
Only then did I realize that watching He Yuzhu cook was a joy to watch. His movements were neat and smooth and had a special charm.
Sure enough, a master is a master, even a few simple movements are different from ordinary people.
Next, He Yuzhu cooked three more dishes, namely fish-flavored shredded pork, Maoxuewang, and couple's lung slices.
Each item was cooked in large quantities. After Secretary Wang brought one over, he also left one in front of the leader's wife.
Seeing the delicious dishes one after another placed in front of her eyes, the leader's wife picked up the chopsticks and didn't stop. She was eating with excitement. Although it was very spicy, the more she ate, the more she wanted to eat.
"Master He, your cooking skills are really good."
He Yuzhu was almost immune to the leader's wife's praise.
He Yuzhu was very embarrassed when he complimented him a few minutes after he started eating.
Such continuous compliments almost affected his movements.
"Master He, why don't you stay at our house from now on and specialize in cooking? I feel like I can't even eat the food cooked by others."
After talking about it, the leader's wife felt that this request was too much and laughed happily.
Previously, Director Yang sent a resume of Master He. Of course she knew that He Yuzhu was not an employee of the steel rolling mill, nor was he a member of the mechanical system.
After learning the art, he opened a braised meat shop, and now he has entered into a public-private partnership as a private manager, and he is also working in a cannery.
At this time, the leader's wife was very upset, why was He Yuzhu not an employee of the steel rolling mill?
If you are an employee within the system, everything will be easy to handle. You can be seconded to work as a chef.
But he turned out to be a member of society. Although he has a high position, you can't force others to work as chefs in your house.
He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Madam, this matter is actually very simple. As long as you are willing to eat the food I cook, I promise to be there when you call."
It is impossible to directly become their chef. Sometimes I don’t even want to cook at home.
How could he become a full-time chef for a big leader? At most, he would just come over and cook a meal every few days.
"Well, if the leader wants to eat Sichuan food from now on, I will call you."
He Yuzhu continued to be busy. Several stews were already stewed in the pot when he first came here. Now he only needs to put them on the pot to heat them up before putting them on the plate and serving them.
Secretary Wang sent out three pre-cooked dishes: saliva chicken, boiled beef, and Dongpo pork elbow.
He Yuzhu thought to himself that his craftsmanship was not so high in history, and he could make the big leaders enjoy themselves.
