Chapter 37 He actually came too?
Hearing Liu Dazhu's protest, the onlookers, who had never tasted roast chicken, were somewhat puzzled:
"Although this Comrade Shen is quite good at creating a spectacle, Master Liu has over ten years of experience; how could he possibly lose to a mere young girl?"
"I think so too. The Soviets chose Comrade Shen in both rounds of selection. Isn't there something fishy going on?"
"Could it be that those two Soviets are having an affair with Comrade Shen? Look at how handsome he is, what man wouldn't be smitten? The Russians are men too, maybe..."
"Very likely! Three grown men losing to a young girl in cooking? That seems suspicious no matter how you look at it. There's definitely something fishy going on!"
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Liu Dazhu and his apprentice seized the opportunity to shout, "This selection process is unfair! The notice clearly stated that the dishes had to be approved by Ivanov to win, but both rounds of selection only had comments from the translator and assistant, which doesn't count!"
"No, that doesn't count! We disagree!"
"This selection process is rigged!"
The person involved shouted, and the onlookers, eager for more drama, joined in the commotion: "A cover-up! A cover-up! A cover-up!"
The shouts from the crowd nearly lifted the roof off the cafeteria, and a tidal wave of questioning and mocking gazes surged toward Lin Shuyao.
"Quiet, everyone quiet!" Director Wang tried to restore order, but no one listened to him.
"You've misunderstood, we don't know Comrade Shen at all!..." The Soviet translator and assistant hurriedly tried to explain when they saw this, but their voices were immediately drowned out by the deafening roar of the crowd.
Everyone raised their fists and shouted that there was a cover-up, and the scene got out of control for a while.
Liu Dazhu and his apprentice glanced at Lin Shuyao, extremely smug!
See? That's how strong Liu Dazhu's popularity is. What can a young girl who just joined the factory compare to him?!
Lin Shuyao looked at Liu Dazhu's smug face, then at Zhang San and Li Si who were hiding in the crowd and stirring things up, and at the indignant onlookers. She knew she couldn't out-shout these people, but Lin Shuyao's lips curled slightly. She turned around and went back to the kitchen. Soon she came out with a steel spoon and a steel basin. Then she nimbly climbed onto the highest table in the cafeteria and started banging the steel basin with the spoon!
Upon hearing the sound, everyone fell silent instantly, just like dogs hearing a bell. Some even reflexively stepped forward to prepare to line up, because the banging sound was the signal for the cafeteria to serve meals every day. After three bangs, it was time to line up for food.
Taking advantage of the silence, Lin Shuyao quickly said loudly, "I accept everyone's doubts! Chef Liu is right, cooking skills are all about taste. No matter how nice the words are, it's useless. Since everyone thinks there is a shady deal, then line up now and come over one by one to taste the dishes that Chef Liu and I made."
"Facts speak louder than words! I believe everyone's eyes are discerning!"
Lin Shuyao appeared open and generous, neither becoming angry or embarrassed by the questioning, nor backing down or showing fear, and her proposed solutions were also very appropriate.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that it made some sense.
Moreover, Lin Shuyao and Liu Dazhu were both making meat dishes, which offered a chance to get some oily food, so everyone naturally wouldn't miss it and immediately started lining up.
Even Liu Dazhu surprisingly chimed in, "Okay, let's do it the way Comrade Shen suggested!"
He might not be confident facing the Russians, but he was in charge of cooking the meals for the factory workers, so didn't he know what their tastes were like?
His roasted pork chops are absolutely winning!
He confidently mimicked Lin Shuyao's actions, starting to cut the pork chop into strips. Then, with an expression that said, "You're all in luck today, getting to taste the meaty aroma," he addressed the comrades who came to sample it: "Each person can only have one taste. No more than that. If I find out..."
He made a threatening gesture by tapping his hand with a spoon.
Those who came over to taste it immediately felt a chill run down their spines. After walking over, they all obediently picked up a small amount and put it in their mouths to taste it, not daring to take more.
After tasting it, everyone had sauce on their hands. They didn't want to wipe it off, and there was nowhere to wipe it, so they simply put it in their mouths and sucked on it. While sucking, they exclaimed, "It's so delicious! It's so flavorful! So this is what roasted pork chops taste like! The Russians are really enjoying it!"
"Yeah, I used to think that the food Russians eat must taste weird, but I didn't expect it to taste so good."
Seeing everyone's lingering enjoyment, Liu Dazhu's face immediately lit up with a smile. He gestured with his chin toward Lin Shuyao, "See?! His cooking is just that delicious!"
That's how popular it is!
What makes you think you, a mere young girl, can compare to me?!
Zhang San and Li Si followed suit, chins down at Lin Shuyao, looking incredibly arrogant.
Lin Shuyao smiled at the three of them, then turned to the employees who were lining up to try the food, "Welcome everyone to try my Waterfall Cheese Roasted Chicken."
She mimicked the way a car company CEO bowed and smiled as he opened the car door for the first batch of customers. When the employee trying the food reached out to pick up the shredded roasted chicken, she first used a fork to pick up a shred of chicken, coated it with a little cheese sauce, and then, with a bright smile on her face, personally fed the shredded chicken to the other person's mouth.
She wore a crisp white chef's uniform, her jet-black hair tucked into her hat, which made her face appear even smaller than a palm. Her skin was dazzlingly white under the bright cafeteria lights, without a single pore. Her nose was delicate and straight, and her lips were a natural rosy red. Most captivating were her eyes, which held a faint smile at the moment, with naturally upturned corners, and her gaze seemed to ripple like pools of spring water.
The person doing the tasting looked up and was met with such a stunning face, with a soft, clear voice echoing in their ears like the babbling of a mountain stream, saying "Welcome to try it." Then, the beautiful woman personally fed them the food. What an ultimate experience!
Who could stand it!
The employees who were tasting the food seemed to have suddenly lost their minds, like three-year-olds. Their eyes were glued to their mouths as they mechanically opened them to catch the food being fed to them. The next second, their taste buds were ignited by the delicious flavors on their lips and teeth, and combined with the exquisite beauty before them, an unprecedented sense of happiness rushed straight to their heads!
Then their eyes lit up and their faces beamed with happiness.
The roast chicken was delicious!
She's so beautiful!
Life is wonderful!
Lin Shuyao's smile remained sweet as she smoothly turned to the next taster: "Welcome to try it~"
As she finished speaking, she looked up and saw that it was Cheng Zheng. He stood tall and straight, his military uniform imposing, and his deep black eyes beneath his thick eyebrows were staring intently at her.
I thought he had left after delivering the scissors, but I didn't expect him to still be here.
Lin Shuyao's eyes instantly became more lively with a smile.
