Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 36 Medicinal Diet
Seeing Yan Jiecheng so straightforward, Li Huaide was very satisfied. He immediately raised his glass and took a sip and said.

"Jiecheng, today's dishes are very authentic, especially the turtle soup, which is really to my liking. Hahahaha..."

Yan Jiecheng immediately gave a thumbs up and said.

"Director, you're truly an expert. This turtle soup is truly extraordinary. It has a beautiful name, called Guyuan Yangsheng Soup. It contains eight kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs that are extremely nourishing to the body. It was once a secret medicinal dish passed down by the imperial court."

"Oh……"

Hearing Yan Jiecheng say this, Li Huaide's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but drink another bowl.

"Jie Cheng, I didn't expect you to know about medicinal food?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled naively and said.

"Director, these medicinal dishes all have recipes. I only know one or two, and I don't know how to make more."

The three of them were drinking and chatting, and somehow the topic turned to Shazhutou.

When talking about Sha Zhu, Director Wang still looks angry.

"Humph, Sha Zhu is too ungrateful. I must make him suffer."

It can be seen that Director Wang will definitely not let Sha Zhu get out of the security department easily this time.

However, Li Huaide's next words surprised Yan Jiecheng and Director Wang.

"Forget it this time. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

"Director, is there anyone who can speak up for Sha Zhu?"

In response to Director Wang's question, Li Huaide nodded and said.

"This afternoon, Yi Zhonghai from the workshop brought an old lady to see Edward Yang, and then Edward Yang gave the order to release Sha Zhu."

Old lady? Could it be the deaf old lady in the backyard? This is really unexpected. It seems that this old lady is really not simple.

Although Yan Jiecheng was surprised, he did not show any abnormality on his face.

When Director Wang heard that it was Edward Yang who spoke, he could only change the subject.

When they were almost done eating, Li Huaide, supported by Liu Lan, was the first to leave the private room.

After the two men sent Li Huaide to the door of the private room, they returned to the table and continued drinking.

During the meal, Director Wang couldn't help but give Yan Jiecheng some advice.

Tell him about some of the problems that are easy to encounter when working in the third canteen and what you need to pay attention to.

The two of them drank until very late and finally had to stay in the factory.

In the following period of time, Yan Jiecheng did not put on airs as a chef in the kitchen, but took the lead in doing the work.

If anyone has any questions about the craft, Yan Jiecheng will not hide them and will basically give an answer.

Soon, Yan Jiecheng established his foothold in the third canteen.

But at this time, Sha Zhu was still living in dire straits.

Although a deaf old lady interceded for him, he was still sent to the locksmith workshop.

Because of the rumors about Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, and because he often acted like a spoiled brat, Sha Zhu was met with hostility from all the workers in the locksmith workshop as soon as he arrived.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter and had a good relationship with people in the workshop. For Yi Zhonghai's sake, Sha Zhu was not bullied.

But even so, a fitter apprentice cannot be as comfortable as a canteen chef.

The heavy workload alone was enough to make Sha Zhu feel unbearable.

Even after working in the locksmith workshop for more than half a month, Sha Zhu still couldn't adapt.

On this day, Sha Zhu was still moving parts in the workshop as usual.

At this time, the clerk from the factory office came to the fitter workshop and walked in front of Sha Zhu.

"He Yuzhu, the factory director wants to see you about something. Come with me." After half a month of experience in the workshop, Sha Zhu's temper had subsided a lot. He did not get angry because of the clerk's superior attitude.

Instead, he said "hmm" and followed the clerk towards the office building.

Soon, the news that Sha Zhu was called away by Edward Yang reached Yan Jiecheng's ears.

Seeing Liu Lan telling him the news she had just heard with a mysterious look on her face, Yan Jiecheng didn't take it seriously at first, but then he couldn't help but frowned and said.

"Sister Liu, are you saying that Director Yang took Sha Zhu out?"

Liu Lan nodded and continued speaking in a low voice.

"Master Yan, you have to be careful. I heard from Director Li that they're probably cooking for the boss. If that idiot Zhu returns to the cafeteria, it won't be a good thing for you or Director Wang."

Seeing that Liu Lan treated him and Yan Jiecheng as one of Li Huaide's men, it was obvious that he and Yan Jiecheng regarded each of them as Li Huaide's men.

I just don’t know if Li Huaide considers Liu Lan as his own.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yan Jiecheng pretended to be indifferent and said so.

"Sister Liu, you're overthinking it. With Shazhu's temper, do you think the factory leaders would still dare to let him take charge? Aren't they afraid he'll quit again?"

Liu Lan nodded in agreement and said.

"You're right. Indeed, if I were the factory leader, I wouldn't dare let him be in charge of the reception."

Although he said this, Yan Jiecheng was not as indifferent as he appeared to be.

Although Sha Zhu has a bad temper and is a bit rough, it is undeniable that he is a good cook.

After all, Yan Jiecheng had only learned for two years. Although he had the golden finger of portable supermarket, he was still a little unsure when it came to competing with Sha Zhu in cooking skills.

It seems that I need to find a way to seriously learn the skills, otherwise after a long time, I am afraid that I will not be able to surpass Sha Zhu.

After finishing his work in the kitchen, Yan Jiecheng came to Director Wang's office, intending to have a chat with him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Jiecheng entered the office, Director Wang hurriedly said.

"Jie Cheng, you're here just in time. Are you free tonight?"

"Yes, Director, what do you want?"

"Look, ever since Director Feng from the Meat Processing Plant enjoyed the treat you prepared last time, he's been thinking about it. He just called and said they're having a banquet at the factory tonight and they hope you can come."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately patted his chest and said.

"Director, it's up to you whether I go or not. I'll be at your service."

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Director Wang was very satisfied and said with a smile.

"Okay, go back and arrange your work in the cafeteria. I'll arrange a sidecar to take you there."

"to make."

When Yan Jiecheng came out of the office, he remembered that he had not yet discussed the business with Director Wang, so he turned around and went back to the office.

Director Wang said with some surprise when he saw Yan Jiecheng coming back.

"Jie Cheng, do you have anything else to do?"

"Director, I have something to trouble you with."

Then Yan Jiecheng told others that he wanted to find a master chef to learn the skills from.

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, Director Wang frowned and spoke after a long while.

"Jie Cheng, you're really putting me in a difficult position. Your craftsmanship is considered top-notch in the city, and you're still trying to find a master to learn from. That's difficult... difficult... difficult. So, I've taken this matter to heart, but don't get your hopes up too much. This depends on the timing."

Yan Jiecheng also knew that Director Wang was telling the truth, so he was not too disappointed. After expressing his gratitude, he said goodbye and left.
