Chapter 15
Introducing the Letter of Introduction

The rolling mill, the workshop.

A few workers gathered together chatting.

"Yi Zhong Hai's ex-wife went to get an introduction letter."

"Really?"

"How could I lie about this?"

Jia Dong Xu happened to hear this, and he was also surprised.

‘Yi Da Ma’ went to get an introduction letter?

Nowadays, getting an introduction letter usually means getting married, going out of town, or finding a job.

If Zheng Da Ma went to get an introduction letter, then…

After analyzing it, she must be going to register her marriage!

I heard that Zheng Da Ma and a guy named Ma Cheng Gong are getting along, so, is she going to get married to Ma Cheng Gong?

Thinking about it, Jia Dong Xu laughed at Ma Cheng Gong in his heart, marrying a ‘hen that can't lay eggs,’ raising a wild child, his mind must be broken.

As for whether he should tell Yi Zhong Hai, Jia Dong Xu thought about it and decided not to tell him.

However, Jia Dong Xu also knew that his master would eventually find out.

People in this workshop are already talking about it, what about other workshops? And many departments in the factory?

As more and more people know, it will definitely reach Yi Zhong Hai’s ears.

Even if the factory doesn’t tell Yi Zhong Hai, Zheng Da Ma goes to register her marriage with Ma Cheng Gong, then takes her child to live at Ma Cheng Gong's place, how could Yi Zhong Hai not know? It's impossible.

It is certain that once Yi Zhong Hai finds out, he will definitely be unhappy, so, how could Jia Dong Xu possibly say anything?

Just pretend he doesn't know.

The No. 1 Canteen.

Zheng Da Ma came back after getting the introduction letter.

Zheng Ai Min knew that Zheng Da Ma got an introduction letter, she must be going to register her marriage with Ma Cheng Gong.

In this era, the atmosphere is conservative, but once the relationship is confirmed, it will quickly be registered.

Moreover, many people get married first and fall in love later.

There are even some who get to know each other today and register their marriage on the same day.

And in the countryside, there are even people who trade a few kilograms of grain for a wife.

To say that Zheng Da Ma and Ma Cheng Gong have deep feelings for each other now is a stretch, but being able to get married is also due to a combination of factors.

After lunch, Zheng Da Ma went to find Ma Cheng Gong.

Ma Cheng Gong also needs to get an introduction letter.

Since both Zheng Da Ma and Ma Cheng Gong have to go to work, they can’t get the introduction letter ready and get married today, it has to be tomorrow.

"Sha Zhu, Li Fu Chang is hosting important guests, you make a few of your signature dishes." The canteen director came to the No. 1 Canteen and said to Sha Zhu.

This means there is a reception in the factory.

Because Sha Zhu is currently the best cook in the factory, so, when there is a reception in the factory, they let Sha Zhu cook.

"My signature dishes can't be made, the factory doesn't have the ingredients." Sha Zhu said.

He, Sha Zhu, is the successor of Tan’s Cuisine, do you know what Tan’s Cuisine is? It used to be called Official Cuisine, it was what the officials ate.

Even the imperial chefs in the palace made Tan’s Cuisine.

So, Tan’s Cuisine is very particular about the ingredients, and the preparation methods are also complex.

Actually, Sha Zhu hasn't learned much about Tan’s Cuisine.

The number of Tan’s Cuisine dishes that Sha Zhu has actually made can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

He knows the methods of many Tan’s Cuisine dishes, but hasn't made them before, Sha Zhu himself is not confident.

Even some of the Sichuan dishes that Sha Zhu learned, he has not made them before with some expensive ingredients.

However, if Sha Zhu really made Tan’s Cuisine now, the factory leaders wouldn't dare to eat it!

After all, it's already amazing to eat braised pork, eat Tan’s Cuisine?

Sha Zhu knows what ingredients the factory has.

Li Huai De's secretary also got some scarce ingredients.

"We're missing sesame paste." Sha Zhu said.

Then, Li Huai De's secretary went to buy sesame paste.

When Sha Zhu started cooking on a small stove, Zheng Da Ma came over to help him.

Zheng Da Ma is not trying to steal Sha Zhu's skills, she is simply helping.

But there are some kitchen helpers who intend to steal Sha Zhu's cooking skills.

Sha Zhu is not stupid, he is very careful when cooking, it’s difficult to steal his skills.

Especially the most important steps of each dish, Sha Zhu is careful again and again.

Even Sha Zhu’s apprentices can't steal his skills, let alone outsiders.

Zheng Ai Min is lying in the cradle, his perspective is bad, he can't see Sha Zhu cooking, and he finds it difficult to turn over in the cradle.

It's so uncomfortable being a baby.

The way I crossed over must be wrong.

He struggled to turn over, after tossing and turning for a while, he finally could see Sha Zhu cooking.

In this era, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are indeed good.

But for Zheng Ai Min to evaluate, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are just okay.

After all, he has seen many master chefs cooking before crossing over.

There are so many chefs whose knife skills are better than Sha Zhu.

Some chefs can carve dragons and phoenixes on tofu, Sha Zhu doesn't have this skill.

Knife skills are the foundation of a chef.

And besides knife skills, Sha Zhu's stir-frying and control of heat are also lacking.

It's reasonable for a chef to taste the saltiness while cooking!

So, when making braised pork, Sha Zhu ate a few pieces first.

When making stewed chicken with mushrooms, Sha Zhu also ate a few pieces of chicken, he didn't even take a drumstick to gnaw on.

No wonder chefs aren't lacking in mouths!

Besides eating a few bites while cooking, when the dishes are done, the prepared plates are ‘small’, most of the dishes in the pot are placed on the plates, a small portion is placed in the lunchbox, previously it was Sha Zhu’s own lunchbox, now it’s placed in Zheng Da Ma’s lunchbox.

But since there are rarely good dishes, Sha Zhu didn't give all of it to Zheng Da Ma, he also kept some for himself, good for drinking as snacks at night!

A young female kitchen helper in her early twenties is responsible for serving the dishes.

Sha Zhu stopped after making eight dishes.

Four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes.

He didn't care about the main course, he let other cooks handle that.

Sha Zhu was actually a little hungry, he ate a few bites while cooking, but he wasn't hungry anymore.

In a famine, a chef won’t starve to death.

When making large pot dishes in the factory, a few bites are enough to fill you up.

And when he cooks on a small stove, he, Sha Zhu, tastes the good food first.

"Sha Zhuzi's dishes are delicious."

In the evening, eating the dishes Zheng Da Ma brought back from the factory, the old lady smiled with her mouth wide open.

In the past, when there was a reception in the factory, Sha Zhu would also bring some good food home, but not much of it would end up in the old lady’s stomach.

Now, the old lady has eaten a lot.

For the old lady, she hasn't eaten this much in a long time.

And for Sha Zhu's cooking skills, the old lady sincerely praised him.

Even though Sha Zhu is not yet 18 years old, his cooking skills are already very good.

With Sha Zhu's cooking skills, he could even stand firm in a big restaurant.

It’s a bit of a waste to put Sha Zhu in the rolling mill.

The highest level of cooks in the rolling mill is only level six.

In other words, someone with the skills of a level five cook is also wasted in the rolling mill.

While Sha Zhu’s level as a cook is not high, his skills are already at the level of a level five cook, even exceeding it.

Zheng Da Ma was also eating, but she ate less.

Most of the food she brought back went into the old lady's stomach.

After finishing, the old lady burped.

Zheng Da Ma didn't tell the old lady about getting married to Ma Cheng Gong tomorrow.

The old lady only knew that Zheng Da Ma had confirmed her relationship with Ma Cheng Gong, she didn't know that Zheng Da Ma went to get an introduction letter at the factory today.

After dinner, it was dark and cold outside, so Zheng Da Ma didn't take Zheng Ai Min out.

She saw that Zheng Da Ma took out the old lady's torn clothes and trousers and sewed them one by one.

She would help the old lady with some things before moving out.
