Chapter 499: Just a Game
In the years before He Yuzhu,
No matter who you are, as long as you have the ability and behave properly, you basically don't have to worry about not having channels for advancement.

Today's steel mills have already passed that stage.

What we talk about now is more about human relationships and social etiquette.

He Yuzhu still followed his old habit. The first thing he did when he entered the room was to glance at the table. He found that the main dishes on the table were basically all gone, with only some leftovers. He knew what was going on.

He deliberately glanced at the bowls and plates containing the braised pork and found that there was nothing left except some soup. Only then did He Yuzhu breathe a sigh of relief.

Now it is basically still the standard for working dinner hospitality, but because Comrade Lao Nie is paying for it out of his own pocket today, today's four dishes and one soup will be a platter.

That is to say, there are still four bowls and a soup bowl, but in fact, there are two dishes in each bowl and dish.

It was told to others that there were four dishes and one soup, but in reality there were eight dishes.

Even now, no one dares to go too far.

Later, there was a special kind of platter for serving food, a large plate with four or five small plates, which could hold four or five kinds of dishes.

At that time, four dishes and one soup meant more than ten dishes or more.

After reading all this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Deputy Director Nie, leaders, is today's food okay?"

Naturally, it was a compliment, and He Yuzhu also said a few words to join in the fun.

After Secretary Zhou handed all the wine bottles and cups to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu first filled the glass with wine, then raised his glass and said with a smile: "When Secretary Zhou called me just now, I said I wanted to join in the fun with the leaders.

So, I'm going to make a bet with you leaders.

There is one dish on the table today that I didn’t make myself.

It was done by my disciple Ma Hua.
If you leaders can guess it, I will toast you with three glasses of wine and then punish myself with three glasses of wine.

Leaders, do you want to give it a try? "

When He Yuzhu said this, he winked at Secretary Zhou who handed him the bottle of wine, and stretched out his little finger, pointing at the pot of braised pork.

Secretary Zhou understood and returned to Deputy Director Nie. He took the opportunity to lean back in his chair and whispered something in Deputy Director Nie's ear.

At this time, everyone was looking at the empty plates on the table, and no one paid attention to him.

The hard times had just passed, and no one was full at this time, so the table was cleaned of food.

Now it’s a bit difficult to ask everyone to recall which dish is cooked differently.

But since it was a banquet, and He Yuzhu said he was just joining in the fun, no one would admit defeat.

If we guessed it from the beginning, it would be no fun.

If you can't guess it, you will offend people.

That's why He Yuzhu hinted to Secretary Zhou. As for who he told, it was none of He Yuzhu's business.
This is also the reason why He Yuzhu doesn't like to work in the workplace. It really takes a lot of brainpower to do anything.

Just like when He Yuzhu came in just now, the word "Director Nie" almost came out of his mouth.

This is the same as what happened just now when Secretary Zhou called him Director He in the kitchen. This is also a common practice in the workplace. When addressing someone individually, the term "deputy" will definitely be ignored.

But there were people from Director Yang's side at the table, so we couldn't just call them by that name.

Maybe you won't get any praise here, and you might even offend the other side.

Anyway, He Yuzhu felt that if he really wanted to climb up, he would die sooner or later without knowing how.

A few people tried to guess, but no one guessed chicken soup or braised pork.

This is also a very simple reason, because these two dishes are considered big dishes. Generally speaking, the apprentices will be allowed to try their hand at the small and small dishes, but not the big dishes easily.

There were four or five people at the scene, and after a round of guessing, no one guessed it right.

This made everyone more excited.

At this time, Deputy Director Nie patted the thigh of a comrade on his right hand, and then stretched out his finger to tap the table lightly. He Yuzhu didn't see the pat on the thigh, but he was staring at Deputy Director Nie, so he could still see that the person next to him tensed up.

The comrade cleared his throat, and the whole audience fell silent, with all eyes fixed on him. Only then did the host say in a slightly dull voice: "It should be the braised pork, right? The taste is about 70% similar to Master He's, but the cooking time is slightly different."

This forced him to pretend, and he was quite successful.

He Yuzhu gave a thumbs up and said: "This leader is amazing!

With eyes as sharp as a torch,

I couldn't even tell the difference between the braised pork made by my apprentice, but I didn't expect my leader to be able to tell it at a glance.

I admire you. I will admit defeat. I will drink three cups first and then drink three cups as punishment. "

When He Yuzhu finished six cups, he received applause from the audience.

He Yuzhu pretended to be drunk and said to Ma Hua: "Now you know your gap, right?
As the older generation said, a slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake.

Sometimes, cooking skills depend on just this little bit.

If you don't work hard, I won't be able to leave the canteen to you, not to mention losing face for our factory.

Even your eighth-level chef assessment this time is dangerous."

"Oh, young master, your grade has not been determined yet?" asked the same leader as before.

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Excuse me, boss. I signed him up for the eighth-level chef assessment this year, and the results will be known soon.

Leaders, please take your time chatting. If you need more food, please let the canteen know. ..."

He Yuzhu said goodbye and left without asking which leader was in charge of the work-level assessment.

This is just a way of taking insurance. With Ma Hua's skills, he believes that his apprentice can pass the exam as long as no one deliberately finds fault with it.

Although it is estimated that none of the leaders present are specifically evaluating the chefs, but the human relations and social etiquette,
He Yuzhu always felt that a storm was coming.

He Yuzhu was worried for a few days, but when the results of the factory's registration and assessment this year came out, He Yuzhu finally felt relieved.

As He Yuzhu expected, employees from all workshops who signed up for the assessment this year said that the topics they chose were quite difficult.

In previous years, at least 50% to 60% of the assessments could be passed, but this year the steel rolling mill barely passed 20%.

You know, those who apply for the upgrading exam have basically been screened in the factory.

It is true that the leaders of the steel mill have determined that all the workers can be successfully upgraded, but this year the success rate is so low.

Comrade Lao Yang was called over by his superiors and scolded, and was told to pay attention to uniting comrades and building good relations with local authorities.

This statement is already very clear, that is, Lao Yang's recent actions caused a backlash from the other party.

He wanted to put the blame on Old Nie, but when Old Nie hosted a dinner party that day, he deliberately asked Old Yang's people to accompany him.

He said only good things at the banquet.

As for the assessment, the questions for level 4 workers were not the same as those for level 3 workers.

It’s just that all the employees in the steel rolling mill were unlucky. They were chosen to take the more difficult workpieces among the ones in their grade of work.

Failing the test only means that the skills of the steel mill workers need to be improved, but there are still 20% who passed the test!

How did they pass it? It shows that they have reached the level of technology.

Of course, Comrade Ma Hua is dizzy and has become an eighth-level cook.

Become one of the lucky 20%.
