Secretary Wang personally carried the box of vegetables to the cafeteria, and the chef came over eagerly:
"Secretary Wang, what is this? Why did you deliver it personally?"
Secretary Wang smiled:
"The leader tried some farm dishes last time and they tasted good, so he bought some specially and asked everyone to try them today. You know, we don't know how to cook, so we have to rely on you!"
The chef immediately perked up his nerves!
The big boss took the initiative to send it over. Although it was made for everyone, he couldn't be so ignorant. He had already started thinking about the recipe in his head.
If it's bird's nest, abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest, there won't be enough time to finish them at noon.
If it is other local specialties from farms... how can we make it unique and delicious so that everyone can praise it
After sending Secretary Wang away, the young kitchen helper had already opened the boxes. He stared at the pile of vegetables and raised his head blankly:
"Master, what is this?"
The chef came over to take a look and was also stunned.
He took the dish out, looked at it carefully from front to back, and even broke off a piece and put it in his mouth. Finally, he was convinced -
“Isn’t this Astragalus membranaceus?”
Back home, wasn't it used as fodder for fertilizing the fields? Cows and sheep ate it.
"Hey you said..."
He couldn't help but wonder, "Nowadays, people eat too much meat and fish. Wild vegetables are expensive. Is this Astragalus membranaceus worth packaging and sending over like this?"
The dry ice bag inside is still emitting white smoke!
The apprentice was young and had never eaten this before. Finally, he touched his stomach and laughed:
"I'm different, I just like to eat meat!"
The chef looked at him with a smile, then scolded him: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take out the bacon and stewed meat, and this dish—"
He pointed to another person: "Clean it up for me."
Although it has been cleaned up very cleanly, since it was sent by Secretary Wang, they have to be more careful.
And in the compound.
Before the end of get off work, the people in the administration department were the first to sniff: "What's that smell? It smells so good!"
As we were talking, someone from the neighboring village came over and asked, "Are there any new dishes in the cafeteria today? Why do they smell so good?"
The people in the administrative department are responsible for security work, so they should know what new dishes are served in the kitchen today.
But think carefully about today’s food carts—don’t they still look like the regular ones
The cafeteria can even make flowers!
The leader does have a small kitchen, but the man in front of him is a practical man who doesn’t care much about food. Instead, he often eats in the big cafeteria.
This also has its advantages. The food in the cafeteria is no longer perfunctory but is very meticulous.
It makes everyone more enthusiastic about eating in the cafeteria.
Now that several people from different departments get together, they feel that there will be a great meal today!
So, as soon as the workday was over, everyone who didn't have work on hand rushed into the cafeteria!
Instead, the host who delivered the food is still receiving people from the city.
Secretary Wang naturally had to stick to his job, smelling the aroma wafting in from the window, and then checking his circle of friends to see everyone's praise for the canteen (mainly for the leaders)...
Finally, my stomach made an uncontrollable growling sound.
Coincidentally, the leader had just walked out of the office with a guest.
Now that the room was silent, the series of noises in his stomach were especially noticeable.
Secretary Wang swore: He had never been so embarrassed in his life!
But fortunately, the leader was really a considerate leader. He laughed and broke his embarrassment:
"Look, we've been chatting so much that we forgot about lunch time... Old Qian, would you mind giving us a try at our canteen at noon?"
The guest also smiled appropriately: "I wanted to say this a long time ago. I smelled the aroma before. Our cafeteria is really well hidden!"
Secretary Wang finally came to his senses and said something in a complaining tone:
"Then you don't know. Originally, this canteen was just average. Today at noon, the boss bought a box of farm vegetables and sent them over. I don't know what kind of skills the chef used to cook it so deliciously. As soon as work was over, everyone ran over!"
This smell is exactly the same as the one I smelled in the hospital cafeteria last time, so tempting!
In the cafeteria, the chef was also in distress.
Everyone was holding their plates and yelling at the empty table by the window:
"Hurry up, isn't that a big portion? Give me some more..."
"Give me some first, give me some first..."
"Brothers and sisters, you came early and ordered twice. I only took one bite and the food was gone!"
"What's the good news for our chef today? He's using all his skills accumulated over the past hundred years!"
The chef also smiled from ear to ear:
"I told you guys a long time ago, it's not my skill, it's our leader's. I don't know where these farm vegetables were bought from, how come they are so delicious..."
At the same time, we have to dispel everyone's thoughts:
"You've all eaten, so I won't give you any more. I have to keep the rest in case the leader wants to come and eat!"
Some people were drooling and unwilling: "It's already this late and he hasn't come yet. He might have to go out to entertain guests at noon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three people slowly walking towards the cafeteria entrance.
After a moment's silence, everyone quickly and abruptly changed the subject and then dispersed as if nothing had happened.
The chef was also happy to see the guests from a distance.
Today, he must save face!
So I quickly said, "Oh, boss! The farm vegetables you sent this morning were so fresh and juicy. As soon as they were cooked, everyone rushed to grab them all. Look, I had a hard time keeping these few..."
What he said was true. As soon as the thermal lid was opened, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
The aroma of crispy and slightly spicy meat, the tenderness of vegetables, all kinds of flavors mixed together, the guest who came from afar couldn't help but let out a rumbling stomach.
Secretary Wang now frowned, but felt relieved in his heart.
The leader also seemed a little impatient:
"I thought the astragalus this time wasn't as delicious as last time, but it smelled pretty good."
Although it was not appropriate to entertain guests with such simple wild vegetables, the people coming today were definitely not outsiders. The three of them sat down happily and soon each took a bite of the refreshing side dish in front of them and tasted it.
“Hmm!”
After this short scream, the whole table quickly became quiet.
Then, he kept picking up food, chewing and swallowing.
It was also thanks to the chef that he took a bite of the dish after it was ready and promptly left so much of it. Otherwise, none of the three people present would have been full.
The apprentice added more rice and whispered, "Our leader should pay more attention to health preservation. This is the first time I see him eat three bowls."
The chef glared at him and said, "You're the only one who talks too much."
In the separate small restaurant in the cafeteria, Secretary Wang resisted the urge to loosen his belt and looked at the messy empty plates in front of him. He thanked himself a thousand times in his heart for not quitting in anger after his boss casually dragged him into the group.
If you don’t include shipping, then don’t include it. He will buy it later!
As a family member, the guest spoke more casually:
"Boss, which store sells these vegetables? Please recommend them to me. After eating this meal, I'm afraid I'll be thinking about it all night long."
