Chapter 3: Cooking skills
In the ward, Du Feiyan and Xie Changan were silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but take the initiative to break the silence.
"I've made some food, are you hungry?"
As she spoke, she opened the thermos box and took the initiative to scoop a spoonful of soup and feed it to Xie Changan's mouth, Xie Changan subconsciously opened his mouth, and then his eyes widened.
"Is this really what you did?"
He didn't expect that he would make a good meal if he was lazy.
"Yes, it's a pity that there is no meat at home, otherwise I can make you something more nutritious, what's wrong, isn't it appetizing?"
The woman's sudden change made Xie Changan a little overwhelmed, his eyes were complicated, Du Feiyan was about to feed him a second spoonful, but he was sideways and dodged.
"I'll do it myself."
Also, after all, the original owner has done so many bad things, if this Xie Changan changes his attitude so quickly, then it is really a brainstorm!
Du Feiyan sighed in her heart and obediently handed him the spoon and lunch box, but before he had eaten a few bites of the meal, Fu Bo from the factory canteen hurriedly ran in.
"Minister, something is wrong, more than half of the flour and nuts purchased are missing, and I am afraid that the mooncakes issued this year will not be available!"
In the 80s, large units with good conditions such as steel factories would send some homemade condolences to the workers during the New Year's holidays.
Now that there are only two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, not to mention whether the materials can be bought for re-procurement, even if they do, I am afraid it will be too late to make them.
Mooncakes are a small matter, but if they make the workers dissatisfied and ruin the reputation of the steel mill, then ......
"I'll go to the cement factory and see if I can buy some of the ones they made!"
Xie Changan dragged his injured leg and was about to turn over and get out of bed, but Du Feiyan hurriedly supported him.
"Don't worry, I have a way, you steam the pumpkin and sweet potatoes and mix them with flour, isn't that enough?"
"yes, I didn't expect that!"
Fauber's face was overjoyed, and he soon became worried again.
"The crust is enough, but you can't let everyone eat empty shell mooncakes without filling, right?"
"That's it, Fauber, I have a few fresh filling recipes, I'll go to the cafeteria with you!"
Du Feiyan spoke decisively, Fu Bo was indeed in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled her away, Xie Changan was stunned, and soon limped to follow.
In the huge cafeteria, several cooks sighed, Ye Qianqian was shrinking aside to wipe her tears, and when she saw Xie Changan coming, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Brother Chang'an......"
"Where has Master Chen gone?"
Xie Changan didn't care about Ye Qianqian, seeing that the chef who was best at white cases was not there, his face was slightly gloomy, and the eldest chef still opened his mouth when he saw him so serious.
Xiao Ye made a mistake in purchasing, and Master Chen scolded her on the spur of the moment, and ...... in a hurry Just pick a picker and say no. ”
"I'm sorry Brother Chang'an, I didn't mean to miscalculate, the big guy should scold me, I ......"
Ye Qianqian was immediately anxious when she heard this, tears flowed down as if she didn't want money, and several chefs looked at each other when they saw this, but no one dared to speak.
Nonsense, everyone knows that Ye Qianqian is the minister's hair, although the minister has married a daughter-in-law, but with Du Feiyan's appearance, it can't compare to Ye Qianqian's position in the minister's heart.
Her ability to procure this job was also arranged by the minister, even if this Ye Qianqian made a big disaster, they didn't have the courage to offend!
This little green tea's crying scene is quite good.
Seeing Ye Qianqian crying with pear blossoms and rain, a touch of mockery flashed in Du Feiyan's eyes, and she quickly spoke.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, you take out all the ingredients that can be eaten and put them away, and I will teach you to make new patterns of moon cakes!"
"Why are you here?"
The moment she saw Du Feiyan, Ye Qianqian's face changed slightly, and Du Feiyan glanced at her with a smile, her words playful.
"My sister-in-law is in trouble, how can I be a sister-in-law if I don't take the handle, don't be stunned, work!"
This dead fat woman!
Ye Qianqian hated her teeth itching, and quickly regained Su Ri's gentleness, and her words were surprised.
"Sister-in-law, I remember that you never go to the kitchen, this moon cake is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for everyone, and you can't make a mistake."
"Yes, Minister, look at this ......"
The chef looked at Xie Changan hesitantly, he didn't have the slightest trust in Du Feiyan, but in the next second, Xie Changan took the initiative to pull Du Feiyan in front of him, and his tone was solemn.
"It's come to this, it's better to try it than to be in a hurry, rest assured, she is my family, if something happens, I will be responsible for her!"
I don't know why, the moment of the "family" is a bit unexpectedly pleasing to Du Feiyan, and several chefs saw that Xie Changan said so, so they had to cooperate to move all the ingredients out.
She steamed the red beans and sifted them, slowly stir-fried them with sugar and oil to make a fragrant bean paste, and made some candied fruit with winter melon, mixed with the remaining nuts to make the filling.
At this time, Fu Bo and the chefs had already prepared a large pot full of sweet potato and pumpkin dough according to her arrangement, and Du Feiyan quickly cut the moon cakes, and her skillful movements were very beautiful, which made everyone present confused.
"It turns out that bean paste can still be used to wrap mooncakes?"
"Minister Xie, your family is really capable, it's the first time I've eaten candied fruit made with winter melon!"
"This crust has the fragrance of pumpkin and sweet potato, which is better than adding sugar and lard."
"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, our factory is going to be in the limelight, brothers must be very happy!"
The aroma of baked mooncakes filled the cafeteria, and several chefs tasted the freshly baked mooncakes, gave Du Feiyan a thumbs up, and even proposed.
"Minister, Master Chen said that he won't do it, so it's better to ask my sister-in-law to fill this vacancy, otherwise the chef is not here, and I'm afraid that the big guys will not be satisfied with the food we cooked!"
Du Feiyan thought that Xie Changan would definitely refuse with righteousness, but he didn't expect him to turn his head to look at him with a tone of asking for advice.
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I reported to work, I went to work at six o'clock in the morning every day, and my salary was fifty-eight yuan a month, can I do it?"
The salary of the factory-run canteen is high, and it is her handy job, so Du Feiyan is naturally willing in her heart.
It's just that Master Chen is really innocent, and it is immoral for her to take other people's jobs like this.
Thinking of this, Du Feiyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to refuse.
"Forget it, Master Chen didn't leave because he made a mistake, it's better to leave this job to him."
"It's not for you to take Master Chen's place, but to add another person to the canteen."
Xie Changan raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and explained to her patiently.
"The factory has recruited a group of workers, and Master Chen can't be busy alone, so it's just right to add you. Tomorrow I will go to Master Chen's house with Fu Bo to do work for him, and then invite him back. ”
"In addition, since Ye Qianqian made a mistake in her work, she will deduct two months' salary according to the regulations of the factory."
Xie Changan turned his head to look at Ye Qianqian, and his tone was light.
"Also, you go back and write a review and apologize to everyone at the opening of the factory meeting."
