Chapter 1142

Red Star Steel Rolling Plant

Cao Weiguo remembered the matter of Cui Dake's job transfer, took a stack of 'Great Unity' bills from his storage space, put them in an envelope, tucked it into his chest, and stood up.

He walked out of the office.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Please come in!"

Cao Weiguo pushed the door and walked into the office: "Leader!"

Deputy Factory Director Li was reading documents, and when he looked up and saw it was Cao Weiguo, he smiled and said: "Weiguo, sit down!"

Cao Weiguo: "Leader, sorry to disturb your work."

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled: "Not a disturbance, does Weiguo have something for me?"

Cao Weiguo took the envelope from his chest, placed it on the desk, and pushed it to Deputy Factory Director Li's hand: "Leader, I have a matter I'd like your help with."

It wasn't his first day dealing with Deputy Factory Director Li, so Cao Weiguo didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point about Cui Dake's job.

Deputy Factory Director Li put the envelope into the drawer and said with a smile: "The person you recommend must be good. I trust your judgment. The factory's reception tasks will become heavier, so we should indeed add some manpower. Have this, this, oh, Cui Dake, report as soon as possible. Temporarily arrange him as a kitchen helper in the staff canteen."

Cao Weiguo: "Thank you for your trust, Leader!"

Coming out of Deputy Factory Director Li's office, he ran into Section Chief Guo of the Security Section.

Section Chief Guo: "Weiguo! What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you!"

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Brother Guo, something up?"

Section Chief Guo rubbed his hands and said: "Brother Weiguo, I'm really at my wit's end, I can only come to ask for your help."

The son of Section Chief Guo's old leader was getting married and holding a wedding banquet. They had invited a famous chef from Jingcheng, but unexpectedly, the chef had gotten into trouble and was locked up for gambling.

The leader's son was getting married tomorrow, the invitations were sent, the ingredients were prepared, but they were missing a head chef.

Cao Weiguo didn't put on airs: "Brother Guo, I'll help with this."

Section Chief Guo grabbed Cao Weiguo's hands happily: "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

After lunch, Cao Weiguo rode his bike away with Section Chief Guo.

The two pedaled for more than half an hour before reaching their destination.

A middle-sized Sihe Academy located in Fengtai District, said to have once been the residence of a Qing Dynasty minister.

Five rooms in the north, three main and two side, three rooms each in the east and west wings, the architecture was exquisite, with square bricks on the floor and bluestone steps.

At this time, a shed for cooking had already been set up in the courtyard, and tables and chairs were already arranged.

Some children were running around in the courtyard, and many adults were helping out.

Looking at the eight tables set up, it was clear the host wanted a "big event."

In this day and age, advocating simplicity, eight tables of banquet could already be called "grand."

Section Chief Guo smiled and introduced to an old man with gray hair, a tall figure, and a green military uniform: "Regimental Commander! This is our Steel Rolling Plant's Section Chief Cao! A true disciple of the Lu cuisine master Chen Baoshu!"

The "Regimental Commander" smiled kindly: "You are Comrade Cao Weiguo? So young!"

Section Chief Guo had already introduced his leader to Cao Weiguo, an old Red Army soldier who had climbed the snowy mountains, once Section Chief Guo's regimental commander, and now a high-level leader in a certain ministry.

Cao Weiguo greeted him respectfully and then talked about tomorrow's wedding banquet.

However, the old man was a bit cautious and wanted Cao Weiguo to cook a table of dishes first to test his skills.

Cao Weiguo followed the host's wishes and walked to the cutting board. The stove was already set up, and potatoes, radishes, pork, chicken, etc., had already been partially cut. They had to cook a table tonight to entertain the relatives who came to help.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of spectators, Cao Weiguo placed the pork flat on the cutting board and began his flowing performance.

A master shows his skill as soon as he makes a move!

Although Cao Weiguo looked young, as soon as they saw his knife skills, these people nodded one after another, saying Cao Weiguo had real talent.

The shredded meat looked like it had been measured with a ruler, so precise, so clever.

After cutting the meat, Cao Weiguo picked up a potato.

Then... everyone saw even more spectacular knife skills.

"So fast!"

"This hand speed is amazing!"

"I like it!"

"Look at those shredded potatoes! Every strand is the same thickness!"

"I wonder if this master is married!"

Several young girls stared at Cao Weiguo with shining eyes, feeling that this young chef was very handsome.

Shredded potato with meat is a very common home-cooked dish.

But as soon as Cao Weiguo's shredded potato with meat came out of the pot, it made people drool.

"So fragrant!"

"Let me taste it!"

A young man with a crew cut grabbed chopsticks and rushed forward.

"How does it taste?"

"How does it taste!"

"Don't just eat! Tell us!"

"Jiandong! How does it taste!"

Ding Jianlin's mouth was stuffed with food, ignoring everything else, one chopstick after another.

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong and grabbed chopsticks to rush over.

Good guy!

Several young people started grabbing it directly.

Turning his head, Old Man Ding took the pot away and ate happily with chopsticks.

"Not bad! Really not bad!"

"A shredded potato with meat dish can actually be this delicious!"

"The young man is amazing!"
