A factory with a scale of more than 1,000 people, if it is placed in the future generations, is just an ordinary town scale.

But at present, in addition to the heavy labor-intensive enterprises such as steel and cement mines, for a small county like Guangling, it is definitely a super-large enterprise second to none, with a population of almost one-tenth of the county, and these weavers can earn more than 200 yuan every month, which is definitely a high-income class in the county.

This feeling is the same as the iron rice bowl workers of the state-owned factories in later generations, and it is an identity that everyone envies and envies.

And a large factory of more than 1,000 people has to ensure that they are full of food and drink every day, which is also a huge pressure on logistics, first of all, to meet the specifications of three dishes and one soup formulated by the imperial court, and secondly, to be clean and hygienic, the most important thing is to save money as much as possible, after all, these expenses are allocated by the imperial court, it is impossible to eat chicken, duck and fish every day, and the current wealthy family of Daqin can only ensure food and clothing, even if you eat a meal of fatty meat, it is definitely a luxury to be able to eat three or five times a month.

Therefore, under various factors, the logistics of the factory are actually doing quite well, otherwise Chen Xu would not have praised the leaders of the factory in such an unpalatable state yesterday.

For poverty and hunger, Chen Xu has experienced it first-hand, and the feeling that his hungry stomach is close to his back and his chest is full of sour water when he thinks of food, so he never wants to remember and experience it again.

The food in the cafeteria yesterday was indeed difficult to swallow, but it was clean and full, which was what Chen Xu was most satisfied with.

But being well fed and clothed is just the lowest living need of all people.

As an imperial eater, Chen Xu felt that he could make a demonstration on the basis of limited catering expenses, and let the factory canteen try to make some delicious food every once in a while to improve the needs of employees.

Moreover, there are silkworm chrysalis in the southeastern counties, which is a kind of high-nutrition ingredient that can be obtained without spending money, in Chen Xu's opinion, it is simply a high-quality tonic given by God for free, as long as it is promoted, eating some often can also enhance the body's resistance.

The kitchen is busy, the whole factory is still quiet as usual, all the weavers in the workshop are busy working, and the sound of the loom is intertwined, playing a song of textile women workers in the new era of Daqin.

But at the moment, all the female workers who are going to work are a little absent-minded, and even the foremen and stewards who are going back and forth are anxious, constantly calculating the time in their hearts and waiting for the bell to ring.

I don't know what kind of delicious food Qinghehou will cook for lunch.

Beef and mutton, it seems too extravagant......

Chicken, duck and fish balls seem to be too extravagant......

In addition to these, the weavers who stayed in the subsistence class could no longer think of anything more that could be called food.

But I can't think about it, because when I think about it, my mouth will start to water, and it will even drip onto the silk woven in front of me.

"Master Hou, all the river shrimp have been screened, how to make them then?" A chef walked up to Chen Xu and asked, pointing to two large baskets of dried shrimp that had been fried into red.

"It's very simple, green onions, ginger and garlic are fried in meat oil, add river shrimp and stir-fry, just put salt in the pot before starting the pot, the river shrimp is easy to taste, see me show you first!"

Under Chen Xu's instructions, a large pot was quickly lit on fire, and after the pot was hot, a full pound of melted lard was put in first, and after the oil was hot enough, a small half catty of shredded ginger and minced garlic and peppercorns were put in, and then a spoonful of soybean sauce was added to continue stir-frying.

Just when the condiments were stir-fried in the pot, a strong fragrance permeated the kitchen, which suddenly provoked all the chefs and kitchen workers to stop their work and come around to watch.

"There are six realms of cooking, which are called color, flavor, and shape, the first is color, whether it is stewed and fried, try to make the dishes look good, so as to make people have an appetite, the kind of black dish you made yesterday can not be looked at directly......"

"The second is incense, the content of incense is very simple, but it is not easy to grasp, but the soul of stir-fry is oil and seasoning, as long as enough oil and seasoning are added, ordinary vegetables can also make a strong fragrance, but not all dishes must use a large number of condiments, must be in moderation, must ensure that the original fragrance of the ingredients, otherwise it is a failure......"

Chen Xu stir-fried the condiments while constantly explaining, and after the fragrance of the condiments was fully stimulated, he instructed the kitchen workers to fill a full twenty catties of river shrimp with a large scoop and pour it into the pot to continue stir-frying, and soon a strong fragrance with the fragrance of river shrimp, and with lard and green onions, ginger and garlic mustard sauce came out, and the smell spread from the window to the entire restaurant, provoking a group of officials blocking the door and the employees who came to the restaurant to gather in the restaurant couldn't help but shrug their throat and swallow their saliva.

"The third realm is called taste, which refers to the taste of food, a dish can not be good-looking, or even not fragrant, but it must have a delicious taste, I ate the dishes you made yesterday, the color and fragrance are not not to be said, the taste is unbearable, you dare to say that you are a chef ......"

A group of onlookers and cooks all blushed, looking at the red river shrimp stir-fried in the pot, and kept swallowing saliva and didn't dare to answer.

"As a chef, at least let yourself make the dishes with full color, flavor and flavor, this is basically qualified, Ben Hou does not have high requirements for your staff canteen, but these three realms must at least be reached, next year Ben Hou will come to Guangling Silk Factory again, if the food is still not able to eat, eat Ben Hou's daughter crying and crying, you will die......"

Chen Xu chattered while his hands were not slow, and a shovel-sized spatula was wielded, accompanied by the more and more bright colors of the river shrimp, and the smell became more and more fragrant.

"Alright, bring the vegetable pot and get out of the pot!"

Chen Xu saw that it was almost cooked, so he put in the salt and continued to stir-fry a few times, then stopped, picked up a grain of river shrimp with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, tasted it, chirped his mouth, put some salt, and then ordered to bring the vegetable pot.

Soon, a pot of meat oil and small river shrimp came out of the pot, and the red light was fragrant and placed on the table in the center of the kitchen.

"Let's try them all!" Chen Xu wiped his hands clean on the overcoat, directly grabbed a few more with his hands and threw them into his mouth, and greeted while chewing.

A group of chefs, cooks, and ladies all rushed over, and everyone couldn't wait to grab a few and start tasting them.

"Wow, I've never eaten such delicious river prawns!"

"It's fragrant and crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it's so delicious."

Instantly, there was a burst of exclamation and admiration in the kitchen.

"It doesn't seem that the river shrimp are not delicious, but that I can't do it!"

"That is, it is not difficult for Qinghehou to do it, but we must pay attention to the heat and use more oil and seasoning......"

"Yes, it must be that!"

While the chefs and chefs were full of praise, several chefs were also learning and reviewing their daily cooking methods.

"That's right, the initial triple realm of cooking, if you want to have both color and flavor, you must match different ingredients according to different ingredients, oil and heat are very important, and the amount of ingredients is also very particular, you have to sum up more experience in the future, don't think that the meal is cooked even if the task is completed, since you are a chef and a cook, how can you not have the spirit of craftsmanship, making the best and most delicious food is your only goal, go, according to the method of Benhou Fangcai, the remaining river shrimp are all fried, this dry fried river shrimp is completed!" After Chen Xu finished eating, he wiped his mouth and ordered to continue to work, otherwise it would be too late.

The kitchen soon became lively again, and the two chefs began to continue to fry the remaining river prawns according to Chen Xu's method, while Chen Xu began to prepare for fried silkworm pupa.

First pour ten catties of sesame oil into a large pot, wait for the oil to burn to six or seven hot, and then instruct the kitchen to stabilize the fire, and then use a large bamboo fish to wash and drain the silkworm pupa into the thin noodle sauce that has been reconciled and stir a few times, and wait for the silkworm pupae to be evenly coated with a layer of sauce and then use the bamboo fish to scoop it up and pour it into the oil pot again.

With a popping sound, a layer of balls instantly floated among the tumbling oil flowers, and a pair of long bamboo chopsticks kept pulling and stirring back and forth in the oil pot, so that all the silkworm chrysalis were separated as much as possible, and at the same time tumbling and heating evenly.

With the silkworm chrysalis entering the pot, a smell with green onion pepper and a peculiar aroma spread in the kitchen again.

"Wow, this one seems to be more fragrant than river prawns!"

"Hiss~I can't help it~"

"It's a silkworm chrysalis inside, do you dare to eat it?"

"Yes...... Why don't you dare to eat, Hou Ye said that it was nutritious and delicious, and he would naturally eat it later! ”

"It's a pity that Master Hou won't let us in, alas!"

At the door of the kitchen, a group of high-ranking officials and many employees were all huddled together in the dark and watched with the door frame.

It's a pity that the Hou Ye ordered that when the kitchen makes meals, no one is allowed to enter except for the chef, the cook, the cook, and the cook, and this is also the management system of the kitchen, and the reason for formulating this regulation is that it is afraid that unrelated people will enter the kitchen to steal food or even poison it.

With the sound of popping and the rich fragrance, the dough balls wrapped in silkworm chrysalis in the tumbling oil pot gradually turned golden, Chen Xu saw that the heat was almost over, and ordered to bring a vegetable pot to start the pot, and then fried it again in the same way, and then threw the bamboo fish to a chef next to him to continue, and he used a plate of fried silkworm pupa and a plate of dry fried river shrimp to walk out of the kitchen.

"Get out of the way, Master Hou is out!" Under the reprimand of the factory director, a group of people blocking the kitchen door quickly dispersed, Chen Xu Shi Ran walked into the canteen with two plates, sat down at a table, took off his smock and took off his hat, and said to a group of factory leaders who followed him while fanning the wind: "Come and taste Benhou's cooking skills?" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" A group of bearded men in their thirties, fours, fifties and sixties all smiled instantly, sat around and grabbed them with their hands and stuffed them into their mouths.

"It's delicious!"

"Delicious and delicious, the pepper is crispy and tender......"

A plate of river shrimp is only half a catty, and the plate is empty in an instant when seven or eight hands rise and fall, and then ...... Seven or eight pairs of eyes all looked directly at the remaining plate of fried silkworm chrysalis.
