Sure enough, these were all veteran workers who had been working in the food factory for over ten years!
Xia Wan only explained the relevant operating procedures and key points once, and they all understood them perfectly. What was even more amazing was that they succeeded on their first attempt!
However, if production increases significantly in the future, the process of mixing egg whites will become quite challenging.
After all, relying solely on manpower to stir so much egg white is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also extremely inefficient.
Therefore, Xia Wan couldn't help but think to herself that she must make a simple and easy-to-use egg beater herself when she got home!
While she couldn't possibly make an electric version, she could certainly manage to make a manual one.
Just then, Xia Wan was pleasantly surprised to find that the master chefs had already mastered the key tricks of making cakes.
Looking up at the sky again, she realized that it had gradually darkened. So, Xia Wan quickly said goodbye and left. It was getting late, and she should hurry back, otherwise Old Xia would worry.
...
On the only way back to Huaihua Brigade, a group of people were squatting in the woods by the roadside.
The leader was Wu Erzhu, along with several other men who looked like hooligans and scoundrels.
Each of them had a cigarette dangling from their mouth, and they were gathered together, whispering and chattering about something.
"Hey, are you reliable or not? We've been waiting here with you all afternoon! And what did we get? There's only one woman walking down this road, and she's an old widow with a face full of wrinkles. She's nothing like the beautiful young woman you were bragging about."
As they were talking, one of the men suddenly threw the cigarette butt he had just finished smoking onto the ground, and then shoved Wu Erzhu's head hard. His already fierce-looking face was now filled with deep impatience.
"Third Brother, wait a little longer! I wouldn't dare lie to you! Let me tell you, that girl named Xia Wan is incredibly beautiful and delicate, I guarantee you'll be extremely satisfied! As long as we can successfully drag her into that grove, hehehe... then you and your brothers can do whatever you want with her!"
Wu Erzhu smiled obsequiously as he spoke, and then hurriedly pulled a cigarette from his pocket and respectfully offered it to the man in front of him, who was called Third Brother.
When it comes to Xia Wan, Wu Erzhu wasn't lying. He had been seeing Xia Wan frequently in the village lately.
It has to be said that after a period of hardship in rural life, Xia Wan, who was originally dark-skinned and thin, has now become even more fair-skinned and beautiful. It is no exaggeration to say that she is definitely the most beautiful and outstanding female educated youth in their brigade!
However, at this moment, the man who was respectfully called Third Brother by everyone seemed a little impatient.
Without saying a word, he reached out and forcefully slapped the cigarette Wu Erzhu offered to him onto the ground.
Then, he raised his wrist, pointed to the old watch on it, and said in a stiff tone, "Hey Wu Erzhu, we've been smoking here all afternoon! I don't want to smoke anymore. Let me tell you, wait another half hour at most. If that girl still hasn't shown up, we're leaving right now!"
Hearing this, another man next to him chimed in, "That's right! I don't believe it. Could that girl be some kind of stunning beauty? Is she worth us waiting here all afternoon? I think she's probably already taken another route!"
As he spoke, the man casually bent down to pick up the cigarette that had just been thrown on the ground, not caring at all that it was covered in dirt and dust, and put it directly into his mouth to light it and smoke.
His words immediately caused the others present to burst into laughter.
After all, for these men who have lived in the countryside for a long time, when they occasionally see those educated youths who came from the city to the countryside, they do find that they have fair skin and beautiful appearances, and they are indeed very attractive compared to the native village girls.
But once you come here and work in the fields every day, you'll soon be no different from the village girls here.
Therefore, when Wu Erzhu praised the educated youth to the skies, the crowd was not particularly moved, let alone had any expectations.
After all, such exaggerated descriptions are commonplace to them and are unlikely to arouse genuine interest or attention.
"Absolutely impossible! If that little... girl wants to go home, she will definitely pass through this place! Let's wait a bit longer, maybe we'll get there soon."
Wu Erzhu spoke with conviction, his words revealing a hint of urgency and stubbornness. Then, without hesitation, he reached into his pocket, pulled out two ten-yuan bills, and quickly handed them to the man called Third Brother, saying generously, "Brothers, you've all waited with me all day, it's really been hard work! Consider this a small amount of money as my treat for you all to drinks."
If Wu Erzhu hadn't already promised Qiao Qiao that he would help her ruin Xia Wan, he wouldn't have wanted to spend an entire afternoon waiting in such a desolate place.
Moreover, he spent a lot of money on this.
This expense was quite substantial, almost equal to the amount of the bride price required for getting a wife.
However, whenever he recalled the romantic scene with Qiao Qiao in that grove last night, even though they hadn't gone all the way, the pleasure he felt from tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time had already deeply intoxicated him, making it hard for him to extricate himself.
At this moment, Wu Erzhu was happily thinking: Qiao Qiao was the woman he had always liked. Although she was not as beautiful as Xia Wan, she was gentle and lovely and had a unique charm.
She even personally promised that if she could successfully ruin Xia Wan, she would agree to marry him.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Wu Erzhu's face, as if a bright future was beckoning to him.
The third brother reluctantly snatched the banknotes from the other person's hand, clutching them tightly in his palm. His previous impatience vanished instantly, replaced by a barely perceptible smile.
"Hey! Not bad, you're pretty well-behaved and know how to handle things! Alright, since you're so sensible, we'll wait with you a little longer today."
