Chapter 18

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye asked the factory director's secretary: "Where is the honored guest we are hosting today from?"

"Is there anything they particularly want to eat, or any dietary restrictions?"

The factory director's secretary thought for a moment and said, "They seem to be from the south, but I don't know exactly where."

"But they look rather delicate and refined."

"I don't know about any dietary restrictions either."

"Squad Leader Lu, just do your best; no matter what, the meals you cook will surely be better than what Sha Zhu makes."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye smiled: "Comrade Xiao Yang jokes too much; I am just an ordinary person."

"Then I will do my best."

Secretary Xiao Yang left.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye thought for a moment, deciding on salt-baked chicken, roasted stuffed duck, and pen cai, with the rest being ordinary home-style dishes from Sihe Academy.

The canteen's ingredients were not abundant, so being able to make these dishes should be considered extraordinary.

As Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye cooked with serious focus, the several little chefs around him were stunned into silence.

They had never seen such dishes before; they had never even eaten them, let alone cooked them.

In less than an hour, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had already prepared eight dishes and two soups.

Secretary Xiao Yang personally led people over to carry the dishes up.

Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and the three leaders of the Rolling Steel Factory stared at the food on the table, completely dumbfounded.

What is this?

How had they never seen this before?

Especially Deputy Director Li, who nearly slammed the table right then and there.

Today he had originally intended to have Sha Zhu come cook, but Director Yang insisted on letting Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye give it a try.

And this was the result?

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was clearly making a fool of them.

However...

Before Deputy Director Li could speak, the arriving honored guest said: "Old Yang, I never expected that your Rolling Steel Factory's kitchen would hide such tigers and dragons."

"Just these three dishes are exactly what Old Chen loves to eat most."

"Salt-baked chicken, roasted stuffed duck, and pen cai; these are authentic Cantonese dishes!"

"An ordinary person could never make them!"

The words were on Deputy Director Li's lips, but he quickly swallowed them back down!

Had this Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye actually received praise?

That brat, how did he manage it?

He was actually this formidable!

Director Yang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, though on the surface he remained calm and composed: "Hahaha... Minister Chen, to be honest, this chef today is someone I just promoted, a seventh-grade master chef!"

"He is not old, but his attainment in culinary arts is truly this!"

"Come, come, let us eat while we talk, and see how these dishes taste."

The three honored guests began to use their chopsticks, and after just one bite, they were already singing praises without end.

"The taste of this roasted stuffed duck is excellent; the skin is crispy and the meat fragrant; this is exactly the flavor!"

"Salt-baked chicken! This is the taste I ate when I was a child!"

"This pen cai is also delicious; I have wanted to eat it for a long Third Third Third Third Time, but no chef knew how to make it!"

"Old Yang, we have an agreement; in the future, if I have the chance, I must borrow this chef of yours for a while!"

As these honored guests lavished praise on Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, Director Yang felt extremely honored.

He immediately agreed to everything.

Because these three dishes were simply too delicious, Deputy Director Li did not get to eat a single bite.

The key was that Director Yang would not let him eat, constantly giving him dirty looks.

He was craving it terribly in his heart, secretly thinking that in the future he must find an opportunity to have Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye cook a meal just for him to taste!

After the meal, the honored guests departed fully satisfied.

As they were leaving, Minister Chen specifically took out two bicycle tickets.

He handed them to Director Yang, saying: "These are for Master Xiao Lu; you must not greedily keep them for yourself."

"Help me inquire whether this young fellow has a partner."

"If he does not, I will introduce my daughter to him!"

Director Yang smiled and agreed.

Deputy Director Li stared at those two bicycle tickets, his eyes shining with greed.

In this era, bicycle tickets were so scarce that even the Rolling Steel Factory only received a few each year; they were extremely difficult to obtain.

Now Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had suddenly acquired two?

Not only that.

This Minister Chen actually wanted to introduce his daughter to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye?

Was Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye even worthy?

He was just a divorced man.

Soon, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye received high praise from Director Yang, who also gave both bicycle tickets to him.

"Little Lu, your luck has finally turned."

"Minister Chen especially likes the dishes you cook and even said he wants you as his son-in-law!"

"You kid, well done!"

"Take all the leftovers from the small canteen back with you; here is a red envelope as your reward, don't be shy."

Director Yang even dipped into his own pocket to give Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye some money.

Finding it hard to refuse such earnest hospitality, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye accepted it.

When he returned to the Sihe Academy carrying large and small bags, it made all the beasts green with envy.

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui immediately blocked Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, staring at the items in his hands, and said, "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, I heard you kid got a reward?"

"Those are two bicycle tickets!"

"How do you plan to use them?"

"You're alone; you can't possibly buy two bicycles, can you?"

"Look at me, the Third Master..."

Big shots, please give flowers, tickets, and everything~.

014. Raking up old scores! The ex-wife visits again! (First update)

Before Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui could finish, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye bluntly said, "Third Master, where is your face??"

"Go home and look in the mirror; did you leave your face behind at the school?"

What?

At first, Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui didn't quite understand.

What face?

Was there something on his face?

But upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui understood.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was indirectly cursing him for being shameless!

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui flew into a rage: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, how can you talk like that, you kid?

"I'm just trying to help you out of kindness!"

"What, now that you've become a squad leader, you don't regard the people in this courtyard with any respect?"

"Mutual help and assistance have been the rules of our courtyard for many years!"

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui threw caution to the wind.

He was an elementary school teacher who had always wanted to get hold of a bicycle ticket.

But how could that be so easy?
