Chapter 188

Liu Lan immediately served the dishes in the order arranged by Cao Weiguo.

Dish after dish, full of color, aroma, and taste, were carried away.

The two apprentices, Liu Limin and Li Fei, were drenched in sweat but full of excitement.

Liu Limin: "Master, you can actually cook Huaiyang cuisine!"

Li Fei: "Master, you are truly too amazing, simply a kitchen god descended to earth!"

Cao Weiguo said leisurely, "You two study hard, and in the future, Master will pass all these dishes to you."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Master, I will definitely study and practice hard!"

The two apprentices were full of joy, and apprentices like Ma Hua and Fatty were envious.

After finishing the tea, the workers' big pot of food also began to come out of the pot.

The kitchen became even busier, and Cao Weiguo also put down his thermos cup.

Carrying cornmeal buns, serving dishes, he was basically replacing Liu Lan's work.

At this time, Director Fang brought a refined man to the kitchen.

"Director Cao, let me introduce you, this is Secretary Han."

"Secretary Han, this is Cao Weiguo."

Cao Weiguo handed a basin of cornmeal buns to Li Fei and shook hands with Secretary Han with a smile.

"Hello, Secretary Han!"

Secretary Han said with a smile, "Director Cao, your cooking skills are too great! The leader couldn't stop praising the dishes you made and specially sent me to invite you over to thank you in person."

Cao Weiguo said, "The leader is too polite."

Following Director Fang and Secretary Han, he came to the reception restaurant.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was quite enthusiastic, and everyone was eating heartily.

"Delicious!"

"This squirrel mandarin fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour!"

"The braised dried silk has endless flavor!"

"This lion's head is fresh and tender, fatty but not greasy; the master chef's cooking skills are high!"

Secretary Han led Cao Weiguo into the room: "Leader, the person has been brought."

Cao Weiguo greeted the old man sitting in the main seat politely: "Hello, leader."

Deputy Factory Director Li introduced hurriedly: "Old Chen, this is the chef who made this table of dishes."

"Good! Truly young and promising!"

Old Chen's appreciative attitude made Deputy Factory Director Li very happy.

Old Chen picked up his wine glass: "Little comrade, your dishes have left me with endless aftertaste, allowing me to taste the long-lost hometown flavor again; I want to toast you."

Cao Weiguo said hurriedly, "I want to toast you with this glass of wine, toast you for being far from home, dedicating yourself to the prosperity of the motherland; it is my honor to cook for you."

Old Chen sighed with gratification: "Little comrade has a heart; your words have warmed my heart."

Deputy Factory Director Li was happy in his heart: "Old Chen, this comrade is not only the most excellent chef in our factory but also the youngest deputy director in our factory, with an excellent work style, diligent work, and advanced thinking; he is an outstanding cadre in our factory."

"Oh!"

Old Chen said happily: "Good! This is the fresh blood the motherland needs! What should I call you, little comrade?"

Deputy Factory Director Li said: "His name is Cao Weiguo."

Cao Weiguo said: "Leader, if you don't mind, just call me Little Cao."

Old Chen smiled kindly: "Cao Weiguo, what a good name! How about I call you Weiguo from now on?"

Cao Weiguo said: "That's too intimate."

Old Chen pointed at the dishes on the table and asked: "Weiguo, how long have you been learning these dishes?"

Cao Weiguo said: "Five years or so, I'm a clumsy person, I don't have any talent."

Old Chen said: "Too humble, being able to make such food in five years is already very remarkable."

After lunch, Old Chen was satisfied.

After returning to the kitchen, the canteen director couldn't stop smiling.

"Weiguo, you are truly too amazing!"

"This time you've made a great contribution to our canteen! No, to our Rolling Mill!"

Cao Weiguo said: "Brother Zhao, be calm; what contribution or not, all work is serving the people."

The canteen director smiled: "You guy, you're pretending again!"

Cao Weiguo took out a lunch box in the kitchen and filled it with braised dried silk.

"Brother Zhao has also worked hard today, take it back and taste the flavor."

The canteen director held the lunch box and said happily: "I've been greedy for half a day."

Because the leader's level was too high this time, only Deputy Factory Director Li and Director Fang were qualified to accompany the leader for dinner.

He watched Cao Weiguo cook in the kitchen and had long been greedy.

In the afternoon, Deputy Factory Director Li called Cao Weiguo to the conference room to praise him publicly.

"During this leader's inspection, Comrade Cao Weiguo made outstanding contributions..."

"After unanimous decision, Comrade Cao Weiguo is rewarded with a bicycle ticket as a commendation."

After the meeting, the news of Cao Weiguo's commendation spread quickly.

This made many people envious, and many people also had various thoughts.

Some wanted to curry favor!

Some wanted to take advantage!

Some regretted!

And some were thinking about the popular bicycle ticket!

Listening to the workers' discussion, the Eldest Uncle couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, regretting that he had misjudged.

Why did he choose Sha Zhu before and ignore Cao Weiguo?

Qin Huairu's eyes shone; this Cao Weiguo was truly becoming more and more successful.

If she could build a good relationship with him, she would be eating and drinking well in the future.

The Second Uncle held a hammer, his heart full of jealousy.

Cao Weiguo was just a cook, how could he be so successful?

And he, a seventh-level blacksmith with superb skills, had no leaders paying attention to or promoting him.

Xu Damao ran into the kitchen excitedly: "Brother Weiguo, congratulations, I heard you made a great contribution to the factory this time."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Brother Xu is exaggerating, I just made a meal."

Xu Damao said: "The meal you made made the important leader happy, that is making a contribution to the factory."

Cao Weiguo said: "Alright, Brother Xu, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to clean up the kitchen and get ready to get off work."

Xu Damao said: "Don't be in a hurry, the factory arranged for me to show a movie at the neighboring machinery factory, I specially came to ask if you want to take your wife to watch the movie; if so, I'll save you two a good seat."

Cao Weiguo's eyes lit up and said: "Thanks, Brother Xu, I'll take Yulan over in a while."

Xu Damao said: "Then I have it in mind, I will definitely save the best seats for you two." ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
