Chapter 32 Testing dishes
If He Yuzhu wasn't so famous now, changing his age wouldn't be a problem for Lou Bancheng.

There is no internet connection now, so if He Yuzhu reports an older age when registering for work, there will be no problem as long as no one mentions it.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be done in private factories like steel mills. In places like the streets and colleges, they have to check carefully. If they really cheat, it will be a big problem for future promotion and salary increase.

He Yuzhu didn't let Comrade Xia take him to taste the food. It was enough to have the title. If he really let her act as a nanny the whole time, how would others view him?
His customers were not gourmets like Lou Bancheng, but leaders of the working group and the factory, and of course representatives from the security department.

Although they are all made from the same cabbage, tofu, radish and potato, the taste is naturally different due to He Yuzhu's craftsmanship.

Apart from anything else, He Yuzhu's attitude alone was enough to surprise those people. Where had they ever seen a chef come to cook at home and bring his own kitchen utensils?

He Yuzhu tied his scarf slowly and asked the helper to wash the potatoes.

He was not busy fiddling with the stove, but instead reached for the whetstone in the kitchen and started sharpening the knife.

The working group also came to visit. One of the square-faced young men smiled and said, "Young master, this posture is quite impressive. Isn't it true that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood?"

He Yuzhu knew this guy. His surname was Li, and he was the famous Director Li in his previous life.

Of course, Director Li is just a newbie at work and is still just a clerk, but in the factory, he is responsible for coordination in the kitchen.

I don't know if this guy is married at this time?

He Yuzhu smiled as he sharpened the knife: "Comrade, you are joking. This set of kitchen utensils was specially given to me by my master when I graduated.

Today is the first day I use it, so I am sharpening my knife before the battle, even if it is not fast, it will be effective.

I will have to ask you comrades to judge how good my craftsmanship is later."

He Yuzhu's truthfulness and humility made people like him more, and this was also a helpless choice.

No matter how good He Yuzhu's skills are, he is still old. Even if he says he is unrivaled in the world, no one will believe him.

To be honest, when Clerk Li comes, he doesn't expect He Yuzhu to cook well. As long as the food is cooked well and he knows how to add oil and salt, then Clerk Li will consider it acceptable.

Clerk Li likes to eat, but now he is not qualified to bring his hobbies to work.

He Yuzhu took the potatoes washed by the kitchen helper and immediately showed off his knife skills to everyone.

There was no carving or anything, just peeling and shredding, and apart from the "swish" sound of the blade sliding across the potatoes, not a single cut touched the chopping board.

Even if He Yuzhu wants to hide his shortcomings, there is nothing he can do about it. It has been a habit for decades.

From the moment I got the potato, I weighed it unconsciously to feel which angle was better for peeling it and which side should face down on the chopping board.

After cutting, put it in the clean water nearby, and it will look like a blooming flower, with each strand of the same thickness.

Now, not to mention Clerk Li, even the kitchen helpers nearby could see that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were excellent.

A kitchen helper asked, "Young master, you have been practicing knife skills for quite a long time, haven't you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "To learn cooking, isn't it just about learning knife skills? Besides, my father is also a chef, and I have been practicing this since I was a child.

Oh, you should know my father, his name is He Daqing, and he used to work in the steel mill."

"So it's from Master He's family? No wonder he has such great skills." The kitchen helper's reaction was just as He Yuzhu expected.

He Yuzhu's words just now were also said intentionally. Since he had already decided to join the steel mill, the problem became how to make those people in the steel mill's kitchen ignore his age and respect his craftsmanship.

He Yuzhu was famous in his previous life, not only for his craftsmanship, but also for his recklessness. He didn't want to be like that in this life, making himself like a hedgehog, which would make others unhappy and himself uncomfortable.

Whether a craftsman has a high status these days depends on who he is dealing with.

For these kitchen helpers, craftsmen with inherited skills are a level higher than them.

For example, when He Daqing was there, the boss Lou Bancheng would go into the kitchen and call He Daqing "Master He" and was extremely polite.

For people like them, being called "Lao*" by Lou Bancheng is a matter of great honor.

It means the boss knows him and knows who he is.

While chatting with the kitchen helpers, He Yuzhu directed them to light the stove, blanch the food, and stir-fry. It was just a matter of turning the pan over and adjusting the heat.

The final touch of basting oil is the key. After two or three flips, it’s time to serve.

In fact, He Yuzhu took a shortcut in this regard.

Logically speaking, He Yuzhu should have tried the big pot dish, but Clerk Li didn't mention it, so He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't ask for trouble.

He knows how to do it anyway, but the effort required to stir-fry a small dish and to cook a big pot of food is quite different.

He Yuzhu scalded the chopsticks with boiling water and handed them to Clerk Li and others. The logistics manager also came. He was from Lou Bancheng's side and came to show his attention.

With a smiling face and a rosy complexion, he looks more like a cook than He Yuzhu.

It’s not a question of whether he is fat or not, but you can tell at first glance that this person should have a good appetite.

Just like the clerk Li now, he is young and looks dressed in a Zhongshan suit, which is clean and starched. You can tell at a glance that he comes from a well-off family.

But his face still looked pale. It wasn't just one person who was like this, but everyone was similar.

Why is it that these days you can tell a person’s family background just by looking at their skin color?
As long as you work, who doesn't live under the sun? Who doesn't experience the smoke and fire, the wind and sand? Who doesn't lack oil and water?
So if you want a fair complexion, at least your fingers should be dry and oily.

Not to mention men, even my own daughter Yu Shui has calluses on her hands after growing up.

Of course, there is also Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e who married into the courtyard...

He Yuzhu couldn't care less. He remembered the eight words his master taught him in his life: just cook and don't ask about the guests.

So even though he didn't have a good relationship with the Li family in his previous life, He Yuzhu, who had a new life, didn't intend to give him a hard time.

After all, regarding those things in the previous life, it seemed that people with the surname Li were more generous.

If it weren't for Li's magnanimity, who would really think that he, the head of a factory with tens of thousands of employees, couldn't deal with a stupid cook?
So whether a person is good or bad, He Yuzhu feels that it has nothing to do with him.

In this life, he is neither prepared to kowtow to Director Yang nor to invest in someone named Li in advance.

He just wanted to find a comfortable job and live his life comfortably.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and tried it. Their eyes lit up, and they looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Although He Yuzhu lowered his head, he was secretly watching the movements of several people out of the corner of his eyes. Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew that he should be safe this time.
