Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Speaking of cooking skills.

To put it bluntly, that's the situation.

You can't escape from the basic skills of knife skills, adding ingredients, starching, heat control, thickening, seasoning, flipping the spoon, and plating.

Most chefs have their own preferences. For example, Li Li himself is the best chef in controlling the temperature. But today, he saw Cao Wei, this outrageous guy.

It is difficult to understand why a person, no matter what action he takes, is full of artistry.

Yes, these three words suddenly appeared in Li Li’s mind: artistry.

If you are not a chef, you will never understand this kind of beauty.

Watching Cao Wei cooking is like taking a sip of iced soda in the hot summer. That first sip of iced soda makes people shiver with comfort. As we all know, the first sip of soda is the most valuable, but Cao Wei's actions make him feel that the moment only lasts for the first sip.

The people in the kitchen are feeling comfortable.

There was some silence in the hall.

"No more." The big boss dropped the chess piece.

"Why not download it?" the leader asked with a smile.

"What on earth are you coming here for today? Don't tell me that the X-steel project is going to be cancelled? That project really cannot be cancelled. The foundation is steel, and you can't do without it. Moreover, if you cancel it, it will have a bad impact internationally. We have finally gone abroad, but you are going to break the contract on the first cooperation. How do you want others to see us?" The big boss was angry, but also reasonable, for fear that the leader would mention the matter of X-steel.

The leader sighed, "Ah, this matter is actually our fault. We were too impatient. We thought about it when it looked good. Who knew they would dig such a big hole for us. But..." The leader changed the subject, "I didn't come here to talk about this today."

"Hey, that's fine. Come on, let's play chess." The leader put the chess piece back.

lead:……

"You really have a dog face."

"In our generation, everyone is like that. Didn't that guy slam the table at you the other day and say whoever wants to do it can do it?"

"It's not his fault. The place he lives in is like that. Anyone who goes there has to think of a way. If he can find a way, he is a good comrade..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking about those things. What do you want to do today?"

"What? Can't I just ask you out for a meal if I have nothing to do?"

"Oh, it would be strange if you came to me for no reason."

"Your cook."

"Hey, that's not my house, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a big shot, right?"

"Oh? Tell me."

"Wait." The big boss came to his senses and said, "You came here for him? What? Did he get into trouble?"

"You do not know?"

"How would I know? I haven't asked him to cook for a long time. You know, I've been busy with the X-Steel incident recently. There are too many things to deal with and no time to rest. If you hadn't told me, I guess I would have to wait until next year to have his meal. Hey, I'm not exaggerating, the food he cooks is really delicious..."

"Okay, okay, that's not what I want to talk about. He..." The leader recounted what had happened recently.

After listening to this, the big boss nodded and said, "It's a pity that this guy has such a style. I asked him to be my secretary, but he refused."

No matter the senior leaders or the leaders, they didn't take Cao Wei's schemes seriously. You know, they have seen all kinds of monsters and demons over the years. This is at most a well-intentioned plan.

Planning is not the point, nor is Cao Wei a person. The point is what he wants to do and how much impact his actions will have on the economy.

What the leader really cares about is not things like restaurants.

What he cares about is whether there is something here that he doesn't know.

If it was just Cao Wei, it would be nothing, but how could Cao Wei convince Lou Xiao'e to help him invest in a restaurant or a hotel? He had contact with those businessmen and knew that they were patriotic, but that was just average. They all spoke their own language and knew that China had stabilized and was ready to attract investment.

Anyone with vision knows that rise is only a matter of time.

After all, they are all compatriots, speaking their own language, and they understand much more than those blond and blue-eyed guys.

There are quite a few interests involved here.

In other words, their investment is based on patriotism, but more importantly, it is an investment that returns a small investment with a big return.

Standard businessman behavior.

Regarding Cao Wei's matter, the leader made a special study and found an interesting phenomenon: almost no one invested in catering, and even if there was, it was a gift in nature. In other words, people didn't want to make money in this area at all.

But Cao Wei chose to let Lou Xiao'e invest and open a restaurant.

Moreover, this investment is in the millions.

Two problems arise from this.

First, where did Cao Wei get his confidence from? Not to mention him, anyone would tremble at the number of one million Hong Kong dollars. What right did he have to say such a thing?

Second, why did Lou Xiaoe agree?

Is it just because of their relationship as a couple?

The leader thinks that maybe it is, but there are definitely many questions here.

There are two things that he is curious about.

One of the things I'm curious about is Cao Wei, which is the first question. How could he dare to do that? In this era when most people get double-digit monthly salaries, he asked for a million. Even if it was a lover, that's too outrageous, right?

And secondly, what exactly does Cao Wei want to do? What are his plans and the opinions that he has not yet put forward to Director Jing?

To put it in a broader sense, this involves the development of people's livelihood.

To put it simply, it’s nothing. Dealing with this matter is just to satisfy your curiosity and give yourself a break.

"Please try it." Cao Wei filled a small bowl and handed it to Master Li.

The key to making noodles with gravy is separation of gravy and noodles, one layer of gravy and one layer of noodles. The amount Cao Wei gave to Master Li was just one layer, neither more nor less.

Master Li took over, picked up the chopsticks, observed it for a while, picked up a chopstick, put it into his mouth, and took a sip. His mouth unconsciously lifted up. The noodles were chewy, and the mutton soup had no smell of mutton, but it had the freshness of mutton. This taste, combined with the other ingredients, was fragrant, crispy, chewy, and delicious, stimulating his taste buds layer by layer.

As he chewed, it was released little by little and enlarged.

When I came to my senses, my mouth was empty, leaving only a strong fragrance that lingered for a long time.

Li Li stood there, speechless for a long time.
