Chapter 068 Chapter 68 Oven, Oven
It was still early, so An Qing didn't tell the boss about this immediately. She would have to wait until the base's defense preparations were made before she would have time to arrange this matter.
At this time, the restaurant inside and outside began to get busy.
Except for Ye Yu and others who were assigned tasks by An Qing, the rest of the Fiery Team returned to their original duties and strictly protected the entire hotel inside and out.
With Tang Ming and Muchen following An Qing closely, she now feels very safe.
An Qing looked at Yuncheng who was teaching people how to fry dried meat. To be honest, this method was indeed slow and cumbersome. Although the biggest problem was that the wok was too small, there was only one reason, but it was indeed too slow.
Wei Xunyi has sent so many mutant animals over. At this rate, we won’t be able to finish them all before the meat spoils, right?
[Ding—Congratulations to the host for creating a new dish, Snow Pork Jerky, and successfully unlocking Peanut Oil and Stew Pot.]
An Qing was stunned. She was so busy today that she forgot that the snow pork jerky she made was a new dish. But why did the prompt sound only at this time?
Opening the system panel, the peanut oil and stew pot are indeed available for purchase.
Moreover, although this stew pot is also a household type, it is much deeper and larger than a soup pot. I estimate that it will be no problem to stew a whole pork leg with various side dishes and enough water.
Of course, the whole pig leg mentioned here is the pig leg from her world, not the pig leg of a snow pig.
The pot couldn't hold a whole leg of snow pig.
An Qing closed the system panel and went to see Ye Yu and the ten selected people cutting meat strips over there.
Although these people are unable to participate in the battle now, they are after all people who have retired from the field team or the special team. They are very smooth in using knives. After Ye Yu demonstrated with them, almost everyone can perfectly separate the fat and lean meat very accurately, and then cut the lean meat into the long strips she wants.
Compared with the speed of cutting the meat strips here, Yuncheng's speed of frying the meat strips is obviously too slow.
An Qing pondered for a moment, then a bright idea suddenly occurred to her. She turned to look at Tang Ming and Muchen, "Do you know if there's any non-toxic metal wire in the base?"
Mu Chen looked at An Qing with some confusion, "Metal wire? How long does it need to be? If it's non-toxic, the hospital should have it."
During some surgeries in hospitals, metal wire is used, which is absolutely non-toxic.
An Qing's eyes lit up, "The longer the better, I need a lot."
Tang Ming next to him asked, "What do you need so much wire for? The hospital's wire is very important. They definitely won't give you too much."
An Qing pointed at the strips of meat and said, "I plan to string them together with wire and dry them over a fire first."
If it is not enough to air dry naturally, you can directly dry it over fire. After it is almost done, you can simply stir-fry it in a wok to remove impurities and eliminate the toxins inside. As long as it is stir-fried in a wok, it should also have a combat power bonus effect.
More importantly, this method is faster than her previous method of using ordinary woks and system-produced woks to make an assembly line.
Tang Ming looked at the meat strips that had been cut into several basins. "There are so many meat strips. Going to the hospital to get wire is not enough. I have to go to the factory to get it."
The base also has facilities, such as a nutrient solution production plant, a medical device production plant, a clothing production plant, and a weapons production plant...
The research institute is only responsible for research and progress, and the research results are handed over to various production plants for production.
The hospital certainly couldn't give An Qing too much metal wire, but the medical equipment factory must have quite a bit in stock.
An Qing asked hesitantly, "Can we just go get it directly? Or do we need to ask the senior leader or the secretary for a note?"
Tang Ming nodded. "To get the wire from the factory, you need a certificate from a senior leader or the health secretary. You can also get a certificate from the hospital. However, during this special period, the hospital probably won't issue certificates casually. Without a certificate from a senior leader or the health secretary, the factory won't give you anything."
An Qing: "..."
She called Wei Xunyi again.
As a result, the line was busy again. An Qing sighed helplessly and hung up the phone, leaving herself to disturb the boss.
Before she could broadcast the call, the communicator in her hand rang. It was Wei Xunyi calling her back.
An Qing was a little surprised and quickly answered the call, "Secretary Wei."
Wei Xunyi's voice was a little hoarse, maybe because he talked too much, but it sounded a little distorted when he heard it through the receiver of the communicator.
"Sorry, I was busy. What do you want from me?"
An Qing glanced at the fried meat jerky and said, "It's okay. I made a lot of rice balls with lard and lard. They're mixed with cooked lard and lard, which can also improve combat effectiveness. I also fried a batch of meat jerky. When do you think you can send someone over to pick it up?"
Wei Xunyi agreed, "I understand. From now on, I'll let Lin Yun handle the food collection from your place."
An Qing: "Okay, by the way, there's something else..."
Wei Xunyi: "You say."
An Qing didn't waste any words and said succinctly, "I need happiness points. Secretary Wei, please arrange for those who are taking turns to rest to eat the fermented black bean fish they were distributed today. Also, I need to get a lot of metal wire from the production factory. Can you help me get a certificate?"
Wei Xunyi could understand the first request, but the second request made him frown.
Metal wire is a hospital item, but it can also be used as a weapon. An Qing suddenly wanted so much metal wire, so Wei Xunyi needed to ask, "What do you want the metal wire for?"
An Qingzhi said, "I plan to use metal wire to string up the snow pork strips, dry them over fire first, and then stir-fry them in a wok. This will make it faster."
Wei Xunyi pondered for a moment and replied, "I see. You want to grill the meat strips, but the stove I gave you earlier isn't convenient. The research institute has a batch of high-temperature ovens and high-temperature drying ovens for experiments. I'll have Lin Yun go to the research institute and get two for you. I'll also have her bring the proof."
An Qing: "..."
After all this time, I found out that the research institute actually has an oven!
She agreed with mixed feelings.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yun and his men drove over in a hurry and unloaded the oven and baking oven from the car. Because the oven and baking oven were too large to fit in the restaurant, they had to be placed outside the restaurant for the time being.
After Lin Yun handed An Qing the certificate she needed and the operating instructions for the oven, she took people away to pack up the prepared rice balls and dried meat, without even having time to greet An Qing.
After getting the certificate, An Qing immediately handed it to Lin Zhiqi and asked him to go to the factory to get the wire.
Then, An Qing picked up the instructions for the oven and toaster oven and read them carefully.
The instructions were obviously handwritten on the spur of the moment. They were simple and clear, not too profound. An Qing read them carefully twice and knew how to use these two things.
The oven is used for baking at high temperature, and the main function of the oven is dehydration.
She wants to make dried meat now. She didn't know that there was an oven in the laboratory, so she thought of roasting it with fire. In fact, it is better to dry and dehydrate it directly.
An Qing opened the double doors of the oven. The oven was very large, and more than ten or twenty people could stand inside. As long as the mutant animals were not too large, they could all be squeezed in. There were also rows of grid plates inside.
Those meat strips no longer need to be hung with metal wires, they can be dried by simply placing them evenly on the grid plate.
However, the metal wire will not be wasted because the distance between the grid plates is very high. If you just place the meat strips on the grid plates, too much space will be wasted in the middle, so you can also hang some meat strips in the gaps.
An Qing went to look at the oven again. The inside of the oven was not much different from that of a baking oven, except that in addition to the grid plate, there was also a whole metal plate inside the oven.
When she had almost finished studying the oven and the toaster oven and knew how to use them, Lin Zhiqi came over with several coils of wire and a tool for cutting the wire.
He took three coils of wire and said, "Boss, the factory doesn't know how thick you want it, so they asked me to bring three rolls. Can you tell me which one is right for you? If it doesn't fit, I'll send it back and get a new one."
The three rolls refer to 1 mm thick wire, one roll of 2 mm, and one roll of 5 mm.
1mm and 2mm wires are relatively thin but very tough. This kind of wire can be knotted and coiled like a rope.
5mm is quite thick and it is very difficult to make a loop with it, but this kind of wire can also be used and can be used as a hook.
Now that we have ovens and furnaces, it is obviously not as convenient to string the meat together directly with silk thread as to use hooks.
You can make small hooks out of 5mm metal wire to hold the meat strips and hang them under the grid plate, so that you can bake more meat strips at a time.
However, An Qing has no plans to return the 1mm and 2mm ones. Who knows when they might be useful again?
An Qing asked Lin Zhiqi to take the 1 mm and 2 mm ones to the cabinet under the restaurant bar, then called him over and told him how to make the hooks.
"Cut the wire into this length." An Qing gestured with the distance between her thumb and index finger. "Then bend the front and back ends of the wire into hooks. Remember to bend the two ends in opposite directions, one in front and one in back."
As she spoke, An Qing directly took the tool from Lin Zhiqi's hand. This tool was a bit like the pliers in her previous life, but also a little different. However, it was basically the same.
She took the pliers and made a hook with two bent ends from the broken wire. "That's it, okay?"
This 5mm metal wire is harder than the thick steel wire in the previous life, but An Qing didn't feel much effort when bending it with pliers.
Lin Zhiqi nodded: "I understand."
As he spoke, he began to cut the metal wires very neatly. Each wire was the same length. After cutting too many wires, he stopped, picked up the wires, and bent them one by one into the same hook as An Qing had just made.
He was very fast and made hooks more easily than An Qing, and soon he had bent a bunch of hooks.
An Qing went to the kitchen to get a basin of water, threw the hook into the water and rinsed it briefly, then took the hook to Ye Yu.
Seeing that there were several more bowls of meat strips, she hurriedly said, "Stop."
Upon hearing this, those who were still cutting meat strips stopped what they were doing and looked at An Qing.
An Qing waved the hook in her hand at them and said, "We've already cut a lot of meat strips. Stop cutting them for now and hang the meat strips in the basin on the hook like this."
She picked up a strip of meat and hung it on a hook at one end. "Just hang it on one hook. Once you have a pot of meat, send it outside to me."
Ye Yu led these people to hang meat strips on the hooks, while An Qing walked out with a basin of meat strips, walked to the oven, opened the door, and placed the meat strips in the basin side by side on the grid plate.
Tang Ming and Muchen also washed their hands and came over to help.
Plate after plate of meat strips were placed evenly on it. Ye Yu brought the meat strips hung on the hooks, and An Qing began to hang the meat strips on the grid plate.
After hanging the entire oven, An Qing closed the door, adjusted the temperature and time, and the oven started to work with a humming sound.
