Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 37 Meat Factory

After arranging the matters in the kitchen, Yan Jiecheng put on his backpack and sat on a shoulder cart to the meat processing plant.

After contacting the security guard, Yan Jiecheng soon saw Director Feng of the meat processing plant at the factory gate.

Director Feng was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was very enthusiastic. After seeing Yan Jiecheng, he hurried forward and shook hands with Yan Jiecheng.

"Master Yan, I'm so sorry to have you come all this way."

"Director Feng, you're so polite. You're flattering me by calling me here. I can't thank you enough."

I have to say that chefs are still quite popular at this time, and you can tell by looking at Director Feng’s attitude.

After the greetings, Director Feng first asked someone to invite the driver of the sidecar to go to the security department to rest, and then he personally took Yan Jiecheng to the canteen of the meat processing plant.

"Master Yan, today's guest is quite important, you must show off your skills."

"Director Feng, don't worry, I will do my best. I wonder how many guests there are? What are your requirements for the dishes?"

"We have eight guests this time, including elderly people and children. The dishes will mainly be Sichuan cuisine, and we'll also have a few of our signature dishes."

"Okay, Director, I'll write out the menu right away."

Yan Jiecheng didn't dwell on why there were elderly people and children at the meat processing plant's reception. He took out a pen and paper from his backpack and began to think about the evening menu.

If there are eight people, including elderly and children, then prepare eight dishes and one soup.

Fuqi Feipian, Dongpo pork elbow, Kung Pao chicken, Fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour pork, boiled fish fillet, corn pancakes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and finally a Codonopsis and black chicken soup.

Soon, Yan Jiecheng handed the written menu to Director Feng.

Director Feng took a quick look and asked someone to prepare the ingredients.

……

After more than three hours of hard work, Yan Jiecheng finally finished cooking all the dishes.

After finishing the work, Director Feng personally sent Yan Jiecheng to the factory gate.

After arriving at the factory gate, the staff following behind Director Feng handed a package to Yan Jiecheng and his sidecar driver respectively.

At this time, Director Feng said with a smile.

"Master Yan, thank you for your hard work today. Here are some specialties from our meat processing plant. You can take them back for your family to try."

When the driver of the sidecar next to Yan Jiecheng heard that it was a specialty of the meat processing plant, his eyes lit up.

The driver of the sidecar was originally a member of the factory protection team of the Security Department. He was a little dissatisfied with being temporarily caught and assigned a task.

But he didn't expect that he would get a thank-you gift. What's more, this thank-you gift was a specialty of the meat processing plant. How could he not be happy?

Yan Jiecheng did the same and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Director Feng, you're... you're too polite. I'm a little embarrassed."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's honest look, Director Feng was very satisfied and immediately extended another invitation.

"Master Yan, I heard from Director Wang that you are also knowledgeable about other cuisines?"

Yan Jiecheng did not deny this.

"I know a little bit about it."

"Look, Master Yan, this week is our day off, and one of my leaders is having a birthday party at his house. I wonder if Master Yan would be willing to make the trip?"

Yan Jiecheng, after all, was dealing with Director Feng for the first time, and with Director Wang between them, he didn't dare to agree rashly, so he pushed the matter onto Director Wang. "Director Feng, I have no problem with this. As long as the host prepares the materials, I'll take two people with me. However, as you know, I'm in charge of the banquet at the steel mill, and I don't know if I have any special tasks that day. You need to check with Director Wang about this, otherwise I won't be able to agree to this."

When Director Feng heard this, he became even more satisfied with Yan Jiecheng.

After all, no leader doesn't like someone like Yan Jiecheng who understands the ways of the world and knows when to advance and retreat.

"Haha, Master Yan, this is really not very kind of you. You are just asking Lao Wang to rip me off again."

Seeing Director Feng's expression, Yan Jiecheng knew that Director Feng was joking, so he joked with Director Feng for a few words before getting on the sidecar and leaving.

On the way, the sidecar driver said with envy.

"Master Yan, you chefs are the best! You even have a say in the leaders of the meat processing plant. And the key is that you get paid so much."

After the sidecar driver finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Yan Jiecheng's package, which was obviously much bigger than his own.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"You only see the thief eating the meat, but not the thief being beaten. Do you think our business is easy? 365 days a year, at least half of the time, the clothes are not dry. Besides, you only encountered it today. Do you think it will be like this every time? I have been waiting for this once in a thousand years."

……

The sidecar driver was quite nice and took Yan Jiecheng directly to the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng took the things and returned to his room first. He opened the package and saw that in addition to several packages wrapped in oil paper, there was also an envelope.

When I opened it, I saw five dollars in the envelope, plus some candy coupons and cigarette coupons.

Wow, Director Feng is really generous. The things in the envelope alone are enough to compensate for the hard work of this trip.

After putting the contents of the envelope into the space, Yan Jiecheng then opened the oil paper package, and the result surprised him even more.

The oil paper package contained large intestines, pig liver, pig ears, pig feet and other braised products.

Although fat is the most popular thing these days, these things are also valuable, the key is that they are difficult to obtain.

He kept some pig ears for himself, and Yan Jiecheng repacked the rest and sent them to Yan's father.

When Yan's father and mother saw Yan Jiecheng bringing back so many meat and vegetables, they couldn't help swallowing.

"Jie Cheng, what have you been doing? Why did you bring back so many things? These things must be difficult to handle."

Yan's father was more self-aware, and it was Yan's mother who asked the question first.

Yan Jiecheng did not hide anything and directly told everyone about his trip to the meat processing plant in the afternoon.

After all, Yan's father and mother were not employees of the steel rolling mill, and they have always been vague about Yan Jiecheng's position in the steel rolling mill.

After hearing that Yan Jiecheng could go out and cook alone and get paid so much, I was surprised and felt very proud at the same time.

Seeing the performance of Yan's father and mother, Yan Jiecheng was still very happy.

Whether it is a TV drama or in reality, it is an indisputable fact that Yan’s fatherly love is calculating.

This is due to both Yan's father's character and the times.

As a time traveler and the son of Yan Fugui, Yan Jiecheng sometimes can't do much except feel angry and furious.

Yan Jiecheng's solution was to change the Yan family's living conditions and the personalities of Yan's parents. This was also the reason why he often contributed to the family's income after the family split up and started their own business.
