Siheyuan: Start at level 60, beat up all the animals

Chapter 120: He Yuzhu is not here, the cafeteria is in chaos, will Li Yang take over?

The group arrived at the cafeteria. Secretary Zhang and Director Yang cordially invited Li Yang, Deputy Minister Liu and other leaders into a private room next to the kitchen and arranged them in the middle.

It can be seen that the two leaders attach great importance to this young technical genius.

"Xiao Li, you've been a great contributor today. Come, let me toast you a glass!" Secretary Zhang raised his glass with a smile, his eyes full of approval and gratitude.

Li Yang quickly stood up and toasted all the leaders present one by one, with a humble and neither servile nor arrogant expression.

"Secretary Zhang, leaders, you are too polite. My meager strength is really insignificant compared to the seniors present. In the future, I will learn more from you and contribute my own strength to the development of our steel mill!"

Li Yang's words made everyone present nod their heads frequently. Even Deputy Minister Liu, who was always serious, smiled and praised the young man's humility and ambition.

……

However, while the group of people were chatting with each other, the kitchen was in chaos.

"That damn guy Shazhu asked for leave at this critical moment. What should I do?" Liu Lan paced back and forth in front of the stove anxiously, holding a green onion in her hand, looking very disappointed.

As the chef of the canteen, He Yuzhu's skills in preparing banquets are impeccable on weekdays. There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, all of which are delicious and tasty. But unfortunately, he injured his hand these two days and took leave. The kitchen couldn't find anyone to replace him.

Other chefs can cook big pot dishes, but if they are asked to cook small pot dishes for the leaders, their skills will be far inferior.

"Ma Hua, you usually follow Sha Zhujiu, why don't you go up?" Liu Lan cast her gaze at Ma Hua on the side, her eyes full of anticipation.

But Ma Hua kept shaking his head and said with embarrassment: "Sister Liu, I really can't do it. Although I have been following the master for a long time, I have never been hands-on most of the time. You want me to cook the dishes that the leaders like to eat, I really don't dare to agree!"

Liu Lan was so angry that she stamped her feet, glared at Ma Hua with disappointment, and then turned to look at the fat man on the other side.

"Fatty, what about you? Don't you usually help Sha Zhu? Why don't you give it a try?"

When the fat man heard this, he shook his head like a rattle: "Sister Liu, please don't make things difficult for me! If Ma Hua can't do it, I'm even worse. I'm usually responsible for cutting vegetables and side dishes. I can't even stir-fry chopped green onions properly. If you let me do it, wouldn't that be harmful to others?"

Liu Lan's face suddenly turned dark. She looked around and found that no one was available. The leaders in the private room were getting impatient, but there was no one in the kitchen. How could she, a canteen manager, feel?

Just when everyone was at a loss, the fat man's eyes suddenly turned: "Sister Liu, how about you talk to Deputy Director Li? He has a close relationship with you, maybe he can be flexible?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Lan glared at him fiercely: "Fatty, what are you thinking? The leaders are waiting for dinner. What's the point of me going up to them and saying these nonsense? Besides, can Deputy Director Li make the decision?"

As he was talking, Deputy Director Li came to the kitchen at some point and urged impatiently, "Liu Lan, is the food ready? The leaders are waiting impatiently!"

When Liu Lan saw him, she felt like she had seen a savior. She rushed forward and told him everything that had happened.

"What? That bastard Shazhu actually asked for leave and didn't come?" Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Li was immediately furious and cursed: "Is he deliberately making things difficult for me? The leaders have come to inspect, but he just disappeared! I will never let him go!"

But no matter how much he cursed, he still had to eat. Deputy Director Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and return to the private room. He leaned over to Secretary Zhang and whispered the embarrassing situation.

Secretary Zhang's face darkened when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He suppressed his anger and whispered to Deputy Director Li: "Go, find that kid Sha Zhu for me! Otherwise, what's the point of having this meal?!"

Deputy Minister Liu, who was standing next to them, saw the two of them whispering to each other and looked over curiously: "Secretary Zhang, what happened? Why haven't you served the food yet?"

Secretary Zhang's face turned even uglier. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Deputy Minister Liu, it's like this. Our chef has something urgent to do, so we may be delayed for a while. How about we go to Fengzeyuan to eat today? Or we can ask them to pack it and send it over, but it may take a little longer."

When he heard that they were going to go to the restaurant instead, the leader immediately frowned and waved his hand unhappily: "Forget it, why make it so grand? Let's just eat in the cafeteria today, a simple meal. Why can't we even have a hot meal?"

Deputy Minister Liu's words put Secretary Zhang and Director Yang in a dilemma.

You know, it's not easy for a big leader to come here. If the hospitality is not good enough, how will the two hosts save their reputation if the news gets out?

Besides, comrades from other units were also present. If I couldn't even have a decent meal, wouldn't I be laughed at later?

But at this moment, the kitchen was not very helpful, which was like adding insult to injury. Zhang Yang looked at each other, their eyes filled with sorrow.

Just when the two leaders were at a loss, Li Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "How about letting me cook a few dishes for everyone to taste?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!

The people present had never seen an engineer cooking by himself. Their eyes widened and they were speechless. Even Secretary Zhang was stunned.

Only the senior leader looked at the young man with interest: "Xiao Li, you have this skill? Show us yours?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Deputy Minister Liu, I have lived by myself since I was a child, so I am good at cooking. If you don't mind, I can give it a try."

Hearing what Li Yang said, Secretary Zhang was so anxious that his eyes turned red. Just as he was about to speak, the big boss laughed and said, "Interesting! I want to try the dishes you cook to see if they are as good as you say!"

Secretary Zhang choked up. Seeing that it was difficult to satisfy everyone, he could only order in a sullen tone: "Well, Xiao Li, you go down and show us your skills. You have to let the leaders have a taste of our steel mill's craftsmanship!"

Li Yang agreed repeatedly, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

As they watched him leave, the leaders present looked at each other, eager to try. This young man usually keeps to himself, but I didn't expect him to have such a unique skill!

The big boss was even more excited to watch the fun, and winked at his subordinates: "If Xiao Li does a bad job later, don't say anything to his face. Give the young man some face, it won't be too late to evaluate him later!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood and nodded in agreement.

Only Secretary Zhang and Director Yang had tense faces and kept looking towards the kitchen. They were very nervous, fearing that Li Yang would show his weakness.

Asking an engineer to cook, isn't this ridiculous? Even if Li Yang usually cooks for himself, can it be the same as cooking for his boss?

If there is any mistake, this meal will be ruined in their hands!
