Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 212 Zou Bin and Driver Sun's Surprise; Li Feng Knows a High-Ranking Leader
Next, the two tables of people were combined into one table.

Since Sha Zhu is now considered a head chef, he knows many chefs from the surrounding restaurants, so it was easy for him to arrange seating, and he got a large private room.

After Zou Bin learned that Sha Zhu knew many chefs in restaurants, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu.

"Brother He Yuzhu, if I bring people to eat here in the future and there are no seats available, I'll definitely mention your name."

Upon hearing Zou Bin's words, Sha Zhu responded with a smile.

"No problem. In this area, if there are no seats, just mention my name. Even if there are no seats, I'll add a table for you."

"Don't be so distant with me. My brother Li Feng calls me Sha Zhu, so you can call me Sha Zhu too."

Zou Bin nodded and said.

"to make!"

As soon as Zou Bin finished speaking, Li Feng looked at Sha Zhu and couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"Silly Zhu, I didn't expect your restaurant in this area to be so famous. You must have learned your skills at a big restaurant before, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded to Li Feng in response.

"yes.".

“Back when you were in school, I was learning to cook at Hongbinlou. My master was famous in this area. As his apprentice, you should know about his skills.”

Li Feng nodded and said.

"I know that. You're the one who cooks all the stir-fries at your steel rolling mill. The leaders don't like the way other people cook them."

Sha Zhu couldn't help but laugh.

"yes.".

At this moment, Zou Bin also asked Sha Zhu out of curiosity.

"Brother Shazhu, how many head chefs do you have at your steel mill?"

Sha Zhu immediately replied.

"It's just me."

"I don't cook large batches of food anymore; my apprentices do most of the cooking now."

"I'll cook the rest of the stir-fries."

At this moment, Wenhui's parents, who were sitting next to her, heard how amazing Shazhu was, and they felt that Shazhu was even more impressive.

However, Li Erniu, who was sitting next to Brother Sun, felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Erniu felt that the more capable Sha Zhu was, the less likely Wen Hui would change her mind, which made him feel even more uncomfortable here.

at this time
Li Feng sat at the head of the large round table. Originally, Li Feng did not want to sit here, but both Zou Bin and Sha Zhu insisted that Li Feng sit here, and even he could not refuse, so Li Feng had no choice but to sit here.

As for the position to Li Feng's left, that's Ajik.

Zou Bin said that Ajik was a guest today, so it would be better for him to sit on the left.

Zou Bin sat to Ajik's left, and to his left was the driver, Brother Sun, with Li Erniu sitting next to him.

Next to Li Erniu are Wen Hui's parents, next to Wen Hui's parents is Wen Hui, next to Wen Hui is Sha Zhu, and next to Sha Zhu is Li Feng.

They arranged the positions in a circle like this.

Although Li Erniu wanted to sit next to Wen Hui, so many people in front of him were Sha Zhu's friends.

Therefore, Li Erniu dares not say anything now.

Li Erniu felt very aggrieved, because the woman he liked was now sitting next to someone else.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder when he could get Wen Hui to go to the countryside. Once she was there, even if He Yuzhu was powerful here, it wouldn't matter.

At this moment

Li Feng suggested that Sha Zhu order the food, because Sha Zhu knew a lot about food.

When the others heard Li Feng say this, they naturally listened to him as well.

Zou Bin accompanied Li Feng on this business trip, and Zou Bin also knows that Sha Zhu is now a head chef, so listening to the head chef is definitely the right thing to do.

As for the driver, Brother Sun, he didn't know much about food, so he didn't care.

As for Ajik, she was even more confused. In fact, it was her first time in a restaurant. Back in Xinjiang, Ajik usually ate at home. Even after coming to Beijing, she continued to eat in the canteen. So Ajik found restaurants outside very novel.

As for Sha Zhu, Wen Hui and her parents basically listen to Sha Zhu now, as for Li Erniu.

Sha Zhu completely ignored him.

Originally, Sha Zhu didn't want to bring Li Erniu along.

However, since Wenhui's parents asked Shazhu to bring Li Erniu along, arguing that they were from the same village and didn't want to strain their relationship, Shazhu had no choice but to comply.

So today, Sha Zhu brought Li Erniu out with him.

Next

Sha Zhu started ordering. The dishes he ordered here were mostly authentic local specialties.

of course!

Sha Zhu is skilled in Sichuan cuisine, so he can cook dishes such as Dongpo pork knuckle, twice-cooked pork, and shredded pork with garlic sauce.

However, some of these dishes have been modified, incorporating both Sichuan and Chongqing flavors as well as other regional characteristics.

Sha Zhu had cooked Sichuan and Chongqing local dishes for Wen Hui and her parents in the canteen, and he had also cooked them when he took Wen Hui's parents to visit the steel mill canteen last time.

So this time, Sha Zhu brought them to try Shandong cuisine, a northern Chinese cuisine.

Shandong cuisine is considered the top of the eight major cuisines of China.

So Sha Zhu wanted to try these northern dishes before Wen Hui's parents left the capital, which is why he brought them to Liu Yishou's place.

The Shandong cuisine here is quite good.

Otherwise, Sha Zhu wouldn't have brought them here.

However, to Sha Zhu's surprise, he would actually run into Li Feng here.

This was something he hadn't expected at all.

However, this is also good. Sha Zhu believes that since Wen Hui's parents saw that Li Feng came by car, and he and Li Feng are good brothers, Sha Zhu thinks that Wen Hui's parents will also think more highly of him.

Moreover, Sha Zhu also knew that Li Feng was different from before. Now Li Feng was a cadre, so Sha Zhu believed that since his brother was a cadre, his own status with Wen Hui's parents would also increase.

At this point, Li Feng asked her to order the food, which showed that she had a good relationship with Li Feng.

At that moment, Sha Zhu coughed and then began to speak to everyone present.

"Since my brother Li Feng wants me to order, then I won't be polite."

"This time we're having Shandong cuisine, so we need to order some Shandong specialties, and we absolutely have to order this braised pork intestines."

When Li Feng heard that the first dish Sha Zhu ordered was actually Nine-Turned Intestines, Li Feng stared at Sha Zhu with wide eyes.

Li Feng had once watched a food program where a chef, in an effort to preserve the original flavor of large intestines, actually boiled them in sewage.

So when Li Feng heard the name "Nine-Turned Intestines," this image immediately came to mind.

At this moment, Sha Zhu noticed that Li Feng's expression was a little off, so he couldn't help but ask Li Feng a question.

"Brother Li Feng, what's wrong?"

"Is there a problem?"

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Li Feng quickly shook his head at Sha Zhu in response.

"without".

"fine.".

Li Feng couldn't help but think that if the braised pork intestines here were prepared the same way as those on that food show, then Liu Yishou's reputation would be ruined.

Moreover, Sha Zhu just said that this Nine-Turned Intestines is a classic dish in Shandong cuisine, and many people should order it.

If this large intestine smelled entirely of feces, then Liu Yishou wouldn't be able to operate; it would have gone out of business long ago.

When Sha Zhu heard Li Feng say that everything was alright, he was a little surprised, but he still nodded to Li Feng and continued ordering food.

"Now that we have the Nine-Turned Intestines, the next dishes will be Sweet and Sour Carp, Stir-fried Pork Kidney, Four Happiness Meatballs, Premium Tofu, Braised Pork in Jar, and Clear Broth Willow Leaf Swallow's Nest."

When Sha Zhu got to this point, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"Then comes the most classic dish: braised prawns in oil."

"These are basically must-order dishes, but I don't know if they're still available."

As Sha Zhu finished speaking, the waiter immediately spoke up for him, saying, "Master He, we still have this dish, but there are only a few left. It's fortunate that you came early, otherwise it would have been gone."

Upon hearing the waiter's words, Sha Zhu couldn't help but laugh.

"Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, that's settled then."

He then smiled and said to the waiter.

"Two more bottles of wine, please."

"Lao Bai Gan" (a type of Chinese liquor).

The waiter nodded to Sha Zhu and said.

"Row".

"Master He, is this ticket a local one? Or...?"

Just as Sha Zhu was about to speak, Zou Bin immediately spoke to the waiter.

"Of course it's local."

Then Zou Bin said to Sha Zhu.

"I'll pay for this meal."

"I'll pay for both the tickets and the money."

The reason Zou Bin was so extravagant was because he had a lot of entertainment expenses, so this amount of money was no problem for him at all.

Upon hearing Zou Bin's words, Li Feng was somewhat surprised and offered Zou Bin some advice.

"How can this be allowed?"

"Let me do it."

However, Zou Bin immediately shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"Of course I'm here. I told you at noon that I'd treat you to lunch, but we didn't get to eat there, so I'll definitely be here tonight."

"And I don't spend much money."

At this point, Brother Sun certainly knew what Zou Bin meant, but he wouldn't say anything. It was Zou Bin's skill that he was able to get reimbursed.

Moreover, driver Brother Sun was very willing to have a decent meal.

Seeing how determined Zou Bin was, Li Feng agreed.

When Sha Zhu saw that Zou Bin was going to treat him, he immediately shook his head at Zou Bin and said...

"Brother Zou Bin, how could I let you treat me?"

"That won't do."

After hearing Sha Zhu's words, Zou Bin looked at Sha Zhu and then smiled at him.

"Shazhu, we've officially met today, and you've been Li Feng's brother since childhood. As long as you still consider me your brother, I have to treat you to dinner today."

"If you're going to treat us, Sha Zhu, then next time?"

After hearing what Zou Bin had said, Sha Zhu could only nod in agreement.

Next, Zou Bin followed the waiter to the front desk.

In the past, Zou Bin often ate and drank outside because he was accompanying clients.

Therefore, he was very clear about the whole process. The reason he came to the front desk was to get an invoice to get reimbursed.

He wasn't worried at all about reimbursing invoices.

Basically, I just take the invoice to the finance department myself, and it usually works.

After Zou Bin prepared the reimbursement invoice, he returned to the private room.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was boasting to everyone about his status in the steel rolling mill's kitchen.

Li Feng also knew about Sha Zhu's situation in the kitchen.

Therefore, Li Feng believed that Sha Zhu's claim of 80% accuracy was true, and that the fact that the cafeteria director listened to him was probably just boasting and nonsense.

However, Li Feng did not expose Sha Zhu's behavior. Li Feng also knew that Sha Zhu was trying to elevate himself in front of Wen Hui and Wen Hui's parents.

As for Wen Hui's current situation in the factory's kitchen, all she knows is that Sha Zhu has a relatively high status there. As for whether the canteen manager listens to Sha Zhu, she herself doesn't know.

After all, Wen Hui had only been at the steel rolling mill for a short time, and most importantly, she wasn't familiar with the canteen manager; they had only met twice.

Even if we do meet, we'll just exchange a greeting at most.

As for the rest, she knew nothing at all.

At this moment, Li Feng saw that Zou Bin had returned, so Li Feng invited Zou Bin to sit down.

When Ajik saw Zou Bin return, she smiled and said to him.

"Uncle Zou Bin, you're finally back! Everyone has been waiting for you for so long."

Zou Bin didn't expect Ajik to say that.

So Zou Bin smiled and said to Ajik and everyone else.

"I just went to get the invoices. By the way, the reason I'm able to see everyone here today is because of Brother Li Feng."

"And in the future, Brother Li Feng, after you get promoted, don't forget us."

As Zou Bin said this, a smile appeared on his face.

Zou Bin knew that Li Feng was a very promising person. He had been valued by the factory leaders before, and later he heard that Li Feng often rode in the department's car. Therefore, Zou Bin believed that Li Feng had a very promising future.

After Zou Bin finished speaking, Sha Zhu echoed him.

"Brother Zou Bin is right. My brother Li Feng has met high-ranking leaders. Li Feng will definitely become a leader in the future."

When Sha Zhu got to this point, everyone looked at him with curiosity.

At this moment, Zou Bin asked Sha Zhu out of curiosity.

"Shazhu, Brother Li Feng, have you met the big leader?"

"Is he a high-ranking leader in our department?"

Because Zou Bin had never heard that Li Feng had met the top leaders of his department, and Zou Bin knew that apart from a few experienced workers in the factory, only the factory leaders had met the top leaders of the department.

Upon hearing Zou Bin's words, Sha Zhu immediately shook his head at Zou Bin.

"It doesn't seem to be a high-ranking leader from your factory, it seems to be someone from the publicity department."

"That high-ranking leader seems to be surnamed Feng."

"It seems to be some kind of leader."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, Zou Bin and the driver Sun Ge, who were present, couldn't help but gasp. They hadn't expected that Li Feng had actually met this high-ranking leader.

Although Zou Bin had never met this high-ranking leader, he knew about the Publicity and Publicity Department, and he also knew that the leader's surname was Feng.

In other words, Li Feng had actually met this high-ranking leader, which was something he couldn't believe. The highest-ranking leader Zou Bin had ever met was a section-level leader in his own department.

This greatly surprised Zou Bin.

And Brother Sun is the same.

Because Brother Sun wasn't the factory leader's personal driver, the highest-ranking leader he'd ever driven was a section chief.

If it's at the division level, then the factory leaders will accompany them.

That's why Brother Sun was so surprised when he heard that Li Feng had met the top leader of the publicity department.

Li Feng was somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

After all, he is not an official at present, let alone a leader in the future.

Unless I go to university and then go back to the factory, then it's probably not so bad.

However, Li Feng also knew that if he explained it now, they would not believe him at all.

When they arrived in the afternoon, Zou Bin and Brother Sun both thought they were very familiar with the department. Li Feng only knew Wu Na in the department, and they had only known each other for a short time.

We've only met twice.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little troubled. He had clearly done nothing wrong, so why did they all misunderstand him?

Why..
