Chapter 130: The group selling surimi products is established
The six people memorized the fake formula by heart and began today's training.
The preparation of the base material is of utmost importance to the two windows, so Yu Zhile asked Ge Tai to go to a state-owned restaurant, and he brought back butter and fresh milk.
The butter was divided into six portions and placed in the middle of a long table, which was filled with a variety of dishes.
"Today you have to make the base ingredients by yourself and then use it to stir-fry spicy hot pot," said Yu Zhile.
The six people nodded in unison, went forward to get the butter and necessary spices, and then went to the stove to start working.
"The team has had a good harvest recently. The state-owned restaurant was able to barely finish the food. Bai Wei went to deliver the goods this afternoon and found that the seafood from this morning was not sold out." Yu Chuyue came back from the threshing ground and walked straight to Yu Zhile, "The establishment of a supplementary food team should be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Yu Zhile looked away from the long table and said, "Starting tomorrow, more cargo will be shipped to the courtyard. I have already thought about what to do."
At noon, she listed the self-selected dishes on the new window and found that there were too few meat choices, so she immediately came up with the idea of making fish paste products.
This is a win-win situation, not only can it consume excess seafood, but it can also provide new dishes.
"Okay, I'll inform everyone later." Yu Chuyue replied.
At the same time, the six people began to stir-fry the ingredients in an orderly manner, and the smell of fried spices slowly spread around.
Yu Zhile walked around, gave some instructions, and finally stopped beside Zhang Wenxin.
"Find five more people and gather in the courtyard tomorrow at noon." She stated her request.
A bunch of people suddenly popped up in Zhang Wen's mind, and he finalized the list after a few minutes of selection.
As time passed, the base ingredients cooked by six people came out of the pot one after another, and the air in the yard was completely filled with the spicy and fragrant smell.
They marked the base ingredients they were cooking, then hung them in the well to cool, and then returned to the big stove.
"Now I will teach you how to make pearls and milk tea." Yu Zhile said another important thing.
No one had ever heard of this drink, so the others gathered around curiously.
Crush the brown sugar and sift it, making sure there are no small lumps.
Next, Yu Zhile poured brown sugar, water and tapioca flour into the dried pot one at a time and cooked over low heat until the brown liquid thickened.
"When it reaches this state, remove the firewood and pour in the remaining cassava flour and mix well." She reminded the key points.
The light brown dough gradually became smooth as she kneaded it, and then it was rolled to the thickness of the bowl wall, and finally became a square the size of a chopstick head.
The next step is to roll the small squares of dough into balls.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, a basin of round, light brown pearls appeared on the long table.
“Bring the water to a boil over high heat and add the pearls. Then simmer over medium-low heat for half an hour. During the cooking process, you need to push the bottom of the pot from time to time, otherwise the pot will get stuck.” Yu Zhile saw that the water was boiling and poured in the pearls.
After a while, the pearls gurgled in the water, bringing out a faint aroma of brown sugar.
"How to make milk tea? Add milk and tea?" Zhang Wenxin asked, "Will others learn how to do it quickly?"
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "I'll change to a new one after I learn it."
As she spoke, she scooped hot water to make black tea, then walked to another stove to demonstrate it.
To be more precise, she was going to make caramel milk tea, which would have a richer taste and flavor than single milk tea, and the process was more complicated and not so easy to learn.
First, fry the white sugar into caramel, then add the tea leaves to bring out the tea aroma, then pour in the milk and bring to a slight boil, finally, boil the brewed black tea for a few minutes.
The aroma of caramel mixed with the rich milky aroma exudes a sweet taste, while the black tea neutralizes the sweetness well, achieving a perfect balance.
The slightly hot milk tea is silky and mellow, with a long aftertaste, which surprised everyone.
"LeLe, how did you come up with this drink?" Zhang Wenxin exclaimed, "It's really delicious."
Everyone agreed.
"I dreamed of an old fairy who taught me a lot." Yu Zhile joked.
Zhang Wenxin muttered, "Why haven't I dreamed about it?"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing what she said.
The pearls are cooked well, enriching the layers of the milk tea, and their bouncy and sticky texture has received a lot of praise.
Soon, the base material in the well completely solidified, and Yu Zhile began to teach them how to make spicy hot pot.
Because the food needs to be served quickly at the window, she changed the boiling step to frying, and made minor adjustments to the seasoning.
The other steps are no different from everyday cooking. The six people quickly got the hang of it and fried all the prepared ingredients.
"Let's go to the clinic and pick up the children, and we'll have dinner together." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
There is not much food in the courtyard of the sideline group, and since there are other staple foods for the spicy hotpot, she plans to cook a pot of multi-grain porridge so that they can have dinner when the children arrive.
"Yeah." The six people responded in unison and went out together.
After a day's rest, the children regained their former liveliness, and their chirping sounds entered the yard earlier than people.
Yu Zhile was deeply impressed by the little girl who took the lead. When the old bald man and others went to his house to make trouble, she sat on the wall with her legs crossed and actively raised her hand to agree with the old branch secretary's proposal.
"Sister Yu, Sister Zhang, thank you." The little girl called out crisply, and the other children followed her.
The shouts were not uniform, but the children's young faces were filled with happy smiles.
Yu Zhile and the others waved in response and told them to find a seat by themselves. They obediently sat next to their mothers.
The slightly spicy and salty dishes go well with the porridge. Everyone ate the dishes and drank the porridge happily.
The sky turned dark blue, and the meeting on the threshing floor finally ended.
The villagers left in groups of three or four, recalling the discussion of the expert group and looking forward to the future.
There were only six people who didn't fit in, listening to others' conversations absent-mindedly, fantasizing about the great unity that was about to be achieved.
As night fell, Yu Zhile and his companions packed up their things and prepared to leave the courtyard when they ran into Chen Lao and his two companions.
Li Ran walked in front, lighting the way with a flashlight.
"Xiao Yu, we discussed it and decided to postpone the building of the breeding raft for one day," said Mr. Chen.
"Okay, I'll inform Ge Tai." Yu Zhile responded, and then reminded, "I left some food for you. Keep it warm in the pot. Eat it while it's hot."
"Comrade Yu's cooking skills are amazing." Luo Ping was savoring the lunch, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "Just eat whatever you like."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two groups separated and left in different directions.
Li Ran passed Yu Zhile, paused, and continued walking towards the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, he turned around and waved the flashlight, and quickly found Yu Zhile in the crowd, but still did not speak, allowing her to walk out of the light column.
The courtyard was pitch black, and Chen Lao and Luo Ping could only grope their way forward, accidentally knocking over a chair.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Li Ran suddenly came back to his senses, aimed the beam of light at the two of them, and quickly walked to the table to light the candles.
"We're fine." Luo Ping replied, with a look of worry on his face. "What happened? Why are you so absent-minded today?"
Li Ran was stunned for a few seconds and denied it repeatedly: "No, no, I am thinking about the possibility of developing mulberry-based fish ponds in Haiyu Village."
"Haiyu Village has good natural conditions, so there is no need to consider this option for the time being," said Luo Ping.
Li Ran nodded, turned around and went to the stove to get food, and the three of them ate quietly.
At this time, the same thing was happening in the six courtyards in the center of the village.
Zhang Ping and the other five followed Yu Zhile's instructions, pretending to beg for mercy, and then stumbling over and reciting the fake recipe.
The next morning, Chen Zhao went to Yu's house for breakfast as usual. After breakfast, Yu Zhile took him to the courtyard of the sideline group.
The three Chen brothers had already finished their breakfast and followed Yu Chuyue out for an inspection, and also got familiar with the village environment.
"Le Le, I'm here." Zhang Wenxin was followed by five middle-aged women. "I told them not to go to work, but to come and familiarize themselves with the situation first."
Yu Zhile nodded and began to explain the situation: "From today on, you are members of the Haiyu Village Surimi Products Group. I will ask you to make fish balls, fish cakes, etc. You will also take turns to cook for the experts."
The work of this group is relatively easy. They don't have to work under the scorching sun, and the actual working hours are not as long as before. Everyone is very satisfied.
"Chen Zhao is your team leader. He is responsible for managing personnel and delivering finished products. If you need leave in the future, just go to him directly." Yu Zhile pulled Chen Zhao in front of everyone.
"Please give me your guidance in the future." Chen Zhao bowed solemnly.
The older sisters were very close to him, who was about the same age as their own children, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhiqing, you don't have to care about our age. If we do something wrong, just speak up."
"I definitely will. Let's make progress together." Chen Zhao smiled brightly.
Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin gave them space, allowing the six of them to get to know each other better.
"All six of them have asked for leave," Zhang Wenxin whispered, "They said they were sick, but in fact, they are all full of energy. They are really merciless."
"It doesn't matter, nothing good will happen to them." Yu Zhile said in a flat tone.
Last night's meeting was their last chance to turn back. If they didn't seize it, don't blame her for being cruel.
In less than half an hour, Chen Zhao understood the basic situation of the team members and started chatting and laughing with them.
"Let me tell you about the method and process." Yu Zhile returned to the courtyard and found a wooden board. "From now on, the work arrangements will be written on this board."
There are four steps to making fish paste products: killing the fish, chopping, seasoning and cooking.
She planned to allow for job mobility so that one of them wouldn't feel dissatisfied because the other's job was easy.
"Everyone has a representative symbol. Chen Zhao will update the arrangement every few days, and everyone just needs to work according to the arrangement." Yu Zhile used stick figures to represent the process, "You can raise any opinions you have."
Everyone shook their heads. They all agreed with this work system very much.
Yu Zhile explained the work content and requirements of the four positions on the assembly line, repeatedly reiterating the importance of hygiene, and everyone listened very carefully.
After finishing the story, it was already past nine o'clock.
Yu Baiwei drove a ox cart closer, stopped the cart, and worked with the team members to carry a large bucket of fish into the yard.
Chen Zhao and his companions showed serious expressions.
