Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 131 The big boss pretends to do splits

After Sha Zhu left, Director Yang said, "Boss, the projectionist is here too, how about we watch a movie?"

"No, I'm not that impressive. But you! Pay more attention to your work in the factory. When will you learn these skills to gain personal connections? Don't you understand me?" said the big boss.

"Haha, I thought too much, leader. I won't do it again next time. I just thought you were in a bad mood recently, so I did that. I won't do it again next time." Director Yang said with a smile.

He is in a good mood now. Today's three doses of flattery have become two doses. He is already very satisfied. As long as the leader is cured, he will definitely remember his favor.

“That’s good to know,” the big boss said.

After saying that, he looked at Li Kangri and asked, "Little Li, you are twenty years old this year, right? How come you are the security chief of the steel rolling mill? Have you ever been a soldier?"

"No," Li Kangri said with a smile, "It's all thanks to the good deeds of my ancestors! I am the orphan of a martyr, and the organization took care of me. I came here to work after I graduated from college."

"I see. Where is your hometown?"

"The one at the old base..."

……

So the two of them started chatting like this. After about an hour, the leader also had a preliminary understanding of Li Kangri, but it was only superficial.

At this time, the secretary came in and said that the dishes were ready, so several people went to the dining room.

As soon as he entered the dining room, the leader saw several Sichuan dishes on the table. "Hmm, they smell good. Xiao Yang, the chef in your factory is very skilled. Come, everyone, sit down and try it." As he said that, several people sat down.

"Leader, this Zhuzi makes delicious Sichuan cuisine. If it wasn't tasty, would I bring it to you? Haha, you try it." Director Yang said.

"Then let me try?"

As he spoke, the big boss picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and started to taste it.

"Not bad, not bad, very good, you guys can eat it too." said the big leader.

"I didn't expect it to be so good. He looks no more than 30 years old, but his cooking skills are quite good." The lady also agreed.

"You are underestimating me, aren't you?" The senior leader said with a smile, "Everyone has their own specializations. Have you ever seen a Chinese medicine practitioner as young as Xiao Li?"

"It has to be able to cure the disease. I haven't taken the medicine yet!" said the lady. She really didn't believe that a medicine could cure an illness that had lasted for so many years. If it wasn't brought by Director Yang, she would never have given the money.

"You, don't be dissatisfied. There are many talented people in the world! You see, I am very confident. Don't be offended by Xiao Li. Women are a little narrow-minded." The big boss changed the subject and said, "Eat, eat quickly. I want to try the next dish, and I have already guessed the next dish."

"Oh! Leader, what dish do you think it is?" Director Yang cooperated.

"Twice-cooked pork!" said the big boss.

As he was talking, the secretary came in with a large plate of chicken and placed it in the middle of the table.

Seeing this scene, Li Kangri couldn't help laughing, but he tried to hold back his laughter and started eating.

"Haha, Zhuzi, today we're not cooking all Sichuan cuisine! What kind of dish is this?" Director Yang said to resolve the awkwardness.

"Hey, this is called Dapanji, it's delicious! Leader, would you like to try it?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Have you eaten it?" the leader asked awkwardly.

"Hehe, of course, this is something my master created. My junior brother occasionally makes it for us, and it's delicious!" Xu Damao explained.

“Aren’t you a movie projectionist? Are you learning cooking too?” the big boss asked doubtfully.

"That's not the case. I'm learning martial arts from my master, and my junior brother is learning cooking from me!"

"Oh! Let me try it." As he said that, the big boss picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and started eating.

After a long time, the big boss looked at Xu Damao and asked, "What kind of dish is this? It tastes really good, you know?"

"This, I don't know, haha, if you want to know, ask my master." Xu Damao looked at Li Kangri.

This shocked the big boss, "Xiao Li, are you their master?"

"Leader, I forgot to tell you that these two are indeed Xiao Li's apprentices, but I really don't know what he taught them. It's really strange." Director Yang explained.

"You can cook too?" the big boss asked.

“I just teach Zhuzi recipes, I don’t know how to cook myself,” Li Kangri explained.

"Are you still teaching this little Xu martial arts? You won't be able to teach him martial arts, will you?" the big leader continued to ask. He was becoming more and more interested in Li Kangri.

"I do know a little bit about this. You must have heard that medicine and martial arts are inseparable." Li Kangri said.

"It seems that you are really a strange person, really not simple!" The big leader exclaimed, "Can you tell me about your skills?"

"That's about right! I can easily beat ten guards like the ones at your door." Li Kangri said calmly.

When everyone in the room heard what Li Kangri said, they looked at him suspiciously, as if he was bragging.

"Don't disbelieve me! My master is very powerful! He can throw stones into the tree trunk. I saw it with my own eyes." Xu Damao said unconvinced.

"Xiao Li, is that true? I didn't know you knew martial arts!" Director Yang said in surprise.

"Da Mao, stop bragging. I just know how to do it a little bit. That leader, eat the food, eat the food. If you don't eat it now, the food will get cold." Li Kangri changed the subject. He was just bragging and didn't want to talk about this topic.

While they were talking, Sha Zhu came in with the last dish.

With his back to Sha Zhu, the big boss said, "I smell it. It's definitely not wrong this time. It's Dongpo pork elbow."

Director Yang was happy when he saw the Dongpo pork elbow in Sha Zhu's hand. He was just feeling upset when he saw that his leader didn't say it right, fearing that his leader would be angry. Isn't this the opportunity?

So he immediately flattered him, "Boss, you are really an expert. You know everything about Sichuan cuisine. Look, this is indeed Dongpo pork elbow."

At this time, Sha Zhu put the dish down and said, "This is the last dish, leader. Are you satisfied with the dish today?" Sha Zhu asked.

"Master He, your dishes are very good. I am very satisfied. Please take a seat. We are all acquaintances, so don't be polite." The big boss said with a smile.

"Well," Sha Zhu looked at Li Kangri and Xu Damao who were both sitting, so he didn't hesitate, "Then I'll eat with the leader, too."

"Master Xiao He, come on, I have to drink with you first. Today you let me eat the most authentic Sichuan cuisine." The big boss said, "Xiao Wang, fill Master Xiao He's glass."

……

"Hey, you're welcome. You're welcome, leader. Please feel free to do as you please. I'll drink first as a sign of respect." Sha Zhu drank one in one gulp.

"Good, very good. When I see you young people, I am reminded of my past. You were very direct in what you said and did. You didn't hide anything. You were straightforward. Xiao Yang, you should also learn from you. Don't be so reserved in the future. Bring out the energy you had when you were young and do your job well." The big boss said happily.

"Remember, leader, come, let's drink together."
