Chapter 124 Chief Person in Charge
Shen Qingyue ordered 6,000 kilograms of beef and arranged to receive the goods in the evening.
That night, the truck drove directly to the steel plant. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the homes of the people outside had already been turned off and they had gone to bed.
But the steel plant's cafeteria was brightly lit.
Even the deputy director of the recycling station was waiting here, worried that something might go wrong. The meat factory began unloading the goods.
The meat was ordered before it left the factory, with the tendons removed and packed separately in several large bags.
The same process is applied to the shank meat. This meat is excellent for making braised beef in soy sauce, but it is not suitable for grilling.
The meat factory hired a special butcher to do it for her, which made Shen Qingyue's life much easier.
The deputy station chief said, "Then I'll go back first." In order to keep it secret, the deputy station chief took great pains to keep the people in the slaughterhouse in the factory and not allow them to go home.
As long as you don't go out, the news won't leak out.
Organizing a barbecue festival requires a high level of confidentiality.
The deputy station chief's request was strange. The slaughterhouse didn't say much because he was a big customer, but they were also worried.
In order to appease the resentment of the slaughterhouse's martial law for a day, the deputy station chief bought some roast chicken, beer, etc., and planned to stay there to eat and drink with everyone.
They ate until the afternoon and it took a while for them to sober up. By the time they realized what was happening, they realized that the steel plant had bought the meat for the barbecue festival, which had already been held here.
Shen Qingyue said: "Thank you."
This time, the small barbecue festival at the steel plant was a collaborative effort among many parties, among whom the deputy director of the recycling station made the greatest contribution.
When the deputy station chief heard Shen Qingyue's thanks, he felt relieved: "Don't worry about this."
It was late at night and it was inconvenient for him to stay for long. After seeing the loaders unload all the meat, he also followed the truck back to the slaughterhouse.
In order to avoid leaking the secret, he will go back to the slaughterhouse with these people starting tonight.
Shen Qingyue specially sealed a big red envelope with 500 yuan in it. She couldn't let the other party express his gratitude in vain after making such a great effort.
The deputy stationmaster smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Although he said this, he took the red envelope very quickly.
He likes to associate with young people like Shen Qingyue who understand the ways of the world.
He had put a lot of effort into this matter, just to win over Shen Qingyue. Seeing Shen Qingyue's openness in both words and deeds, he felt that the effort was worth it.
After the deputy director of the recycling station left, Jiang Yu came back to find Shen Qingyue: "Shall we start cutting the meat and skewering it now?" It was her first time working the night shift, and she was quite excited.
"Yeah." Shen Qingyue said.
Then he followed Jiang Yu back to the steel plant. At this moment, all the lights in the kitchen were on.
Not only were the twenty or so people in the kitchen there, but also the fifty people recruited by Shen Qingyue, and even the team of two hundred people including the village chief of Liujia Village were here!
There is strength in numbers. Tomorrow is the barbecue festival, but the meat hasn’t been skewered yet.
Everyone started cutting the meat, slicing it into palm-sized chunks that piled up like a giant mountain, then slicing and skewering it.
It wasn't the first time for anyone present to do this. They were all very methodical.
In order to hold the barbecue festival secretly, the steel plant chose a weekday.
Shen Pandi, Shen Mei, and Shen Xiu are also here.
Shen Qingyue didn't let them come. Compared to the big barbecue festival in the whole county before, the current barbecue festival is just a small event. So many people can be handled completely.
But these three people had already asked for leave and begged the village chief to come together.
They acted first and asked for permission later. Shen Qingyue was busy with the arrangements and didn't have time to drive them back, so she had no choice but to let them go. It was good that they came, as they could help Shen Qingyue a lot.
This barbecue festival had all the best people out, and even the fat chef Chen Huai directly requisitioned the large kitchen in the back kitchen to start making braised beef!
Everyone has their own way of making braised beef with soy sauce, and the taste is different for everyone.
Chen Huai's recipe is said to have been passed down from his master, and he has improved it. He said that no one who has tried it has said it is not delicious.
It takes at least a day to cook the braised beef, marinate it, and then soak it. It's just right to cook it in the evening and use it tomorrow!
The fat chef Chen Huai approached Shen Qingyue and asked, "What are you going to do with that muscle?"
When he saw the good materials, his eyes lit up. Without waiting for Shen Qingyue to tell him to do anything, his inspiration came to him.
Shen Qingyue said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
The fat chef Chen Huai's eyes lit up: "How about making beef tendon buns and selling them on the stall tomorrow."
As he spoke, he began to swallow his saliva, mainly because he wanted to eat.
Anyway, there is no difference between cooking for one person and cooking for a group. His carefully prepared steamed cornbread is good, but these beef tendon buns are not tacky either!
First stew the beef tendon until it is soft and seasoned.
Then, don't chop it too finely, add some broth jelly, and wrap it into buns. After steaming, break it apart. The soft and glutinous beef tendon combined with the thin skin of the big bun is delicious and satisfying.
Fat chef Chen Huai had tasted the dish cooked by his master once, and it was even more delicious than the one made with pure meat.
Shen Qingyue bought the best black cattle on the market. The meat was good, and the tendons were good. Thousands of pounds of beef were packed with hundreds of pounds of tendons!
Which chef could resist such temptation? This time, Chen Huai took the initiative to ask Ying to take the job for himself.
Shen Qingyue said, "Okay." Otherwise, there would be no place to deal with so much beef tendon.
Last time, they cooked it in a large iron pot and sold it after the tendons were cooked. This time, since Chen Huai had other ideas, that was fine.
Jiang Yu followed Shen Qingyue like a secretary, and the two of them found a vacant place to sit.
While everyone else was skewering the meat, Shen Qingyue was still taking inventory: "No more soda tomorrow. It's a good thing we left a lot these past few days."
I also stocked up 500 boxes, each box containing 24 bottles. Although it was a little less, there was a risk of exposure when delivering the soda, so I had to give up.
Shen Qingyue wrote down her thoughts in the small notebook she carried with her. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. The bigger the matter, the more aspects need to be considered!
Last time she was a member of the command center, and now she is the general manager and has more things to worry about.
Shen Qingyue wrote on the paper: "Tomorrow at six o'clock to pick up the folk artists, the performance will start at ten o'clock in the morning."
"By eight o'clock, the barbecue grill has to be set up. Breakfast will be millet porridge with beef tendon buns, mainly barbecue. The main course for lunch will be noodle soup with a few slices of braised beef."
Shen Qingyue wrote down steamed buns, hand-rolled noodles, etc. on the paper. In addition to skewering meat, she would also organize everyone to make these two things.
Jiang Yu added, "Sister Yueyue, don't forget the pickled radish." I had to go back to get it last time, which was a lot of effort. It would be better to bring it here together.
This pickled radish is very famous. No matter what you eat, the old customers will keep a close eye on the free pickles.
This little pickle has become everyone's favorite.
Shen Qingyue also took note of the pickles: "Nowadays, I can't even sleep for ten hours." What's more, she had just started skewering the meat, and there was still some dough to be made!
Fortunately, we have a team of almost 280 people, so we can get things done faster.
Shen Qingyue said to Jiang Yu, "I'll take you home first." She was worried about a little girl going home too late.
Jiang Yu wanted to stay. She was young and strong, and she thought staying up late was quite fun. "I've already told my family. I'm going to stay at your house today."
Shen Qingyue said: "Be obedient, I may not have time to sleep today, you still have to worry about it tomorrow, so go to bed early. There are still tough battles to fight tomorrow."
Jiang Yu reluctantly agreed after hearing Shen Qingyue say this.
Shen Qingyue sent Jiang Yu back.
Driving, there was no one on the road. There were no lights either, but thankfully the headlights were very bright.
On the way, Jiang Yu was not afraid at all, and asked, "Why don't I see Brother Zhengchen?"
Shen Qingyue said, "He went out to do something." She went to a large food factory to discuss renting a workshop, and Shen Qingyue didn't tell anyone until the matter was settled.
Jiang Yu did not suspect anything and happily used the key to go home. Shen Qingyue waited until the lights in her house came on before going back.
