After leaving the health center, the two went to a food factory.
Fang Yuan is really capable. He not only got the machines running, but also suggested to Guan Yuxi, based on his previous experiences abroad, that they produce fried foods such as potato chips and crispy sticks.
Guan Yuxi affirmed his suggestion and even thought further ahead.
Perhaps she could have made instant noodles, which were all the rage in the 1980s, ahead of time?
Although instant noodles may not sell very well these days, every little bit helps, and it's good to build a reputation and grab market share.
Besides, there are also spicy and delicious instant noodles.
In short, frying equipment is the most versatile food processing machine.
Even a clod of dirt, once fried in oil, has a flavor that one can savor for a long time.
However, in this era, oil was a luxury item.
Fortunately, Hongshi has a large rapeseed planting area and an oil pressing factory, so Guan Yuxi felt there was nothing to worry about.
"Brother Fang, you're amazing!"
Guan Yuxi was delighted to see that Fang Yuan had also laid out several reagent samples.
Fang Yuan, however, didn't seem very happy.
We used to call him Brother Fang, and now that we've become sworn brothers, do we still call him Brother Fang?
Call him "brother"? Leng Lie, that big jealous pot, would definitely not be happy about it.
Call him "Brother Yuan"? Hmm, one square and one round, it doesn't seem like there's much difference.
Leng Lie glanced at him coldly.
It's just a machine, he can do it too.
He popped a segment of orange into Guan Yuxi's mouth, successfully drawing her attention.
After this happened several times.
Guan Yuxi, who was discussing product plans with Secretary Du and Fang Yuan, was speechless.
She simply pulled Leng Lie over as well, "Brother Lie, why don't you try which one is tastier?"
"They should all taste pretty good, but the cooking methods are not quite right."
Leng Lie frowned in disgust; the color alone made him lose his appetite.
The potato slices, which should have been golden brown, were fried to a brown color, while the gluten was white on one side and yellow on the other.
The others didn't seem to feel anything, but Guan Yuxi also felt that her looks were indeed not quite up to par.
Fang Yuan got annoyed and said to Leng Lie, "If you're so capable, then you do it!"
He simply couldn't believe that Leng Lie, a country bumpkin, could possibly be accustomed to such foreign gadgets.
Leng Lie ignored him, picked up the potato slices next to him, cut them, soaked them in salt water for a while, drained them, and poured some more oil into the fuel tank.
The gluten was added.
Fang Yuan was slightly surprised to see him turn on the machine, and then he scoffed when he saw him put cold oil into the pot and add the ingredients.
Leng Lie ignored him, continuing to test the oil temperature and add ingredients.
Then, they checked the quality and fished them out in batches.
Once the gluten was cooked, different flavors were prepared, and each batch was divided into three flavors.
The same process applies to potato chips.
"Xiao Lie, it's just frying some gluten and potato slices, is it really that big of a deal?"
Not only did others not understand his actions.
Even Secretary Du found it quite troublesome.
Guan Yuxi, however, saw through his purpose at a glance.
Different cooking times and different flavors—he's searching for the optimal solution!
"That's right. Different cooking times and different seasonings result in vastly different tastes and textures."
Guan Yuxi explained to everyone.
Only Leng Lie, who is used to cooking, and she, who comes from the 21st century, can understand these things.
Which of the other men has ever cooked?
"Come and have a taste."
Leng Lie mixed the various flavors together and pushed one portion in front of each person.
"Won't this cause poisoning?"
Fang Yuan, unconvinced, picked up a piece and tasted it.
Although he was very resentful towards Leng Lie, he understood that Leng Lie's approach was the best, no matter what.
After everyone tasted them, they indeed picked out the ones with the best texture and flavor.
"These are fried in oil at 60 degrees Celsius. One flavor is sweet and salty, and the other is spicy."
Leng Lie also wrote down the recipes for the two flavors that he had memorized.
Unconvinced, Fang Yuan tried it again and found it to be true.
"You won this time."
Faced with the facts, Fang Yuan had no choice but to admit defeat.
Leng Lie smiled indifferently. He just couldn't stand outsiders doting on his wife. It wasn't about competing with him, so what was the point of winning or losing?
Guan Yuxi also gave Leng Lie a thumbs up, "Brother Lie, you're amazing!"
How can a man function if he's incapable?
Leng Lie's tail was practically wagging in the air, yet he still feigned modesty, saying, "So-so."
"Secretary Du, Brother Fang, it seems we need to hire a few cooks, or at least two temporary ones."
Guan Yuxi looked at Secretary Du and Fang Yuandao.
Secretary Du nodded. "I'll think of a way. How about Xiao Lie stays here to help out for now?"
Without a second thought, Guan Yuxi refused on his behalf, saying, "Brother Lie won't do."
Leng Lie: "......"
What's wrong with him?
He needs to let her see what he's really like tonight, or else!
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Guan Yuxi assumed he was unhappy that she wouldn't let him stay at the food factory. She tugged at his sleeve and explained, "The garment factory is expanding, and we need you for many things. Plus, you're in charge of transportation, and you have other things to do too."
If this gets dragged into everything, and he's not available, she'll be in a real mess.
Leng Lie nodded noncommittally.
In fact, all the tasks he handles are delegated, and the system functions smoothly even when he's not around.
However, he didn't want to tell her that only when he had plenty of time could he stay by her side every step of the way.
