Chapter 70: Future "So you're thinking about this, you're really bad."...
Wang Ying said "success" lightly, but the team members became excited and everyone broke off a little to taste.
After eating, Wu Haiyang excitedly said, "It really worked! I always thought it was delicious, but my team leader always said it wasn't quite right, not quite right. I didn't understand why. Now I know, it really wasn't right!"
Wang Ying asked Yang Jianshe, "Did you record it?"
Yang Jianshe's hands were shaking, and he nodded vigorously: "I remember it, I remember it all!"
Luo Wenshu grinned, "Looks like they were waiting for me. Our team wasn't fully assembled before, so once I arrived, it was a success!"
Several people laughed, and no one refuted Luo Wenshu.
"Cut it neatly and I will send it to the leaders," said Wang Ying.
"Okay." Luo Wenshu cut off the irregular parts and cut the rest neatly.
"I'll give it to the leader. You guys continue. Success once doesn't mean success every time. You need to practice more and summarize your experience. Then you can pass it on to other colleagues when the time comes." Wang Ying said.
"Good." The whole team was still filled with the joy of success and full of energy.
Wang Ying carried a tray to the factory director's office. She arrived at the right time because the deputy factory director, Director Zhao, and the head of security were all there.
"Dear leaders, the new product has been made. Please check it." Wang Ying said as he placed the tray on Qian Tongsheng's desk.
"Okay, let's try it." Qian Tongsheng said as he took a piece first.
The other leaders also took a piece.
"Yeah! It's this texture, this sweet and soft taste, exactly the same as what I ate in Beijing!" Qian Tongsheng was a little excited.
The other leaders had never eaten authentic shachima before, but who can’t tell if something is delicious?
"It's fragrant, soft, sweet and delicious! People will definitely like it." Zheng Liancheng said.
Director Zhao also said: "It's very good, suitable for all ages, and should be easier to transport than peach cakes."
Qian Tongsheng nodded as he ate, and only after he finished the whole piece did he say, "This week, prepare the samples, packaging, production costs, and follow-up plans for the improved and new products. I'll submit them to the leader for approval on Monday."
"Okay." Wang Ying agreed, "Then I'll go back to the workshop first."
Fang Hongjun went to the warehouse and was delayed for half an hour. When he came back, he heard that Wang Ying and his team had already made the new product and sent it to the leaders for tasting.
Seeing that Wang Ying was not there, Fang Hongjun walked to the new product operation area, hesitated for a few seconds, and took a piece to taste.
This taste struck Fang Hongjun as bitter. It wasn't the shaqi ma itself that was bitter, but his heart. He felt his fate was miserable. This pastry was truly a success; it was impossible for the people not to like it. He could imagine that once the year-end bonus was distributed, this product would immediately establish itself in Beichong. Construction of the fifth workshop might soon begin.
Wang Ying returned to the workshop and saw Fang Hongjun standing beside their operating table in a daze. She walked over and asked, "Director Fang, have you tried it? What do you think of the taste?"
Fang Hongjun felt that Wang Ying was provoking her and said coldly, "Not bad."
"Director Fang, do you think there's anything missing? The factory director and the others all think it's great," said Wang Ying.
Fang Hongjun didn't answer and turned away.
The R&D team had a successful experience, and subsequent attempts went much more smoothly. By Saturday, only one pot was unsuccessful throughout the day.
Before leaving get off work on Saturday, Wang Ying held a work summary meeting for the team members, and Yang Jianshe and Tian Yulan also attended.
Wang Ying first made a summary of the work for the month, and then each team member took out his or her own notebook and followed Wang Ying's example to make a summary.
Zhou Qianjin was the last to give his summary. His initial remarks were similar to what everyone else had said, except for the final sentence: "I think my greatest achievement since joining the food factory is meeting such a good leader. I've learned a lot from you, and I'll benefit from it throughout my career."
"You're such a flatterer, kid!" Luo Wenshu said beside him, "We're all thinking it in our hearts, but you're the only one who's talking about it!"
"No, no, no, I'm being sincere and definitely not flattering you," Zhou Qianjin said quickly.
"We are all learning from each other, and there is still a long time for us to work together in the future!" Wang Ying responded with true feelings.
While other people’s meetings are dull and lifeless, the development team’s meetings are lively and active. After the meeting, everyone goes home together.
After get off work, Wang Ying went to Wujiaohua Store to pick up Chen Xiuqin first.
After returning home, Zhao Yunsheng was cooking. When Wang Ying came into the kitchen, Zhao Yunsheng said, "Zhenhua gave me the blueprints. They're in my bag. Go take them and have a look."
"Don't you need my help?" Wang Ying said.
"No, no, I can do it. You go and do your work first." Zhao Yunsheng was cooking and swinging the spatula very fast. The iron spatula hit the iron pan, making a clanging sound.
"Then I'll go and take a look." Wang Ying didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Yunsheng anymore and turned to go upstairs.
Zhao Yunsheng's canvas bag was on the desk. Wang Ying opened it and found the gloves she had knitted for him, his keys, and a soft-cover notebook. There was a piece of paper inside the notebook, and Wang Ying pulled it out. It was the packaging Qiu Zhenhua had designed for Shaqima.
According to Wang Ying's requirements, the packaging of Shaqima is divided into large and small packages. The large package contains 16 pieces, which is exactly 2 kilograms. The small package is individually wrapped in thin oil paper, which is convenient for customers to weigh and carry.
Wang Ying was very satisfied with Qiu Zhenhua's design. She sat down at the desk and began to organize the materials in her hands and write the final plan.
Home was quieter than work, and Wang Ying quickly became absorbed in the situation. He didn't even hear the sound of Zhao Yun coming up the stairs.
Zhao Yunsheng leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms, and looked at Wang Ying quietly.
Wang Ying was not awakened until Chen Xiuqin downstairs shouted, "Why don't you two come down for dinner!"
When she looked up, she saw Zhao Yunsheng looking at her with his head tilted.
"When did you come? Why didn't you say anything?" Wang Ying said.
"You're working so hard, I can't bear to disturb you." Zhao Yunsheng walked over to Wang Ying and took her hand. "Let's go downstairs to eat."
The two went downstairs. In the main room, dinner had already been served and the whole family sat down to eat.
Director Zhao said, "Can you make it on time? It's due the day after tomorrow morning."
"I can catch up," Wang Ying said. "Tomorrow is all I need. I'll definitely be able to finish it. I brought all the information back with me, and I've also done some work at work these past two days."
Chen Xiuqin said, "Your factory is really terrible. This is too rushed. And why do you let Yingzi do everything?"
Director Zhao rolled his eyes at her. "What do you know? Others can't even get it by begging. This is Yingzi's own ability. Those who are capable should work harder. Next month, she will be officially promoted to team leader. The factory is going to build a fifth workshop later. How can Yingzi not show some achievements?"
"Oh my, Yingzi is going to be the workshop director?" Chen Xiuqin said.
"We're 70 to 80 percent sure." Director Zhao said.
"Tsk tsk, Zhao Yunsheng, look at how successful your wife is, and then look at yourself." Chen Xiuqin shook her head at Zhao Yunsheng.
Zhao Yunsheng smiled and said, "It's enough if there is one promising person in a family. I am happy that my wife is successful."
Director Zhao glanced at his son and thought that there was no hope for him anymore. He would have to rely on his daughter-in-law in the future.
After dinner, Wang Ying wanted to clean up the dishes, but Zhao Yunsheng stopped her hand and said, "No need for you. Go upstairs and do your thing first."
"It doesn't matter if you take a little longer. Let's clean up together." Wang Ying said.
"Yingzi, let him take it. You will be the leader and do big things in the future. He has no future anyway. From now on, you will be in charge of external affairs and he will be in charge of internal affairs!" said Chen Xiuqin.
Wang Ying really didn't expect that her mother-in-law would have this "awareness".
"Go quickly." Zhao Yunsheng urged Wang Ying again.
Seeing that they all said this, Wang Ying didn't act pretentiously and went upstairs to deal with work.
There are actually quite a few trivial things to do when cleaning up after dinner, such as washing dishes, wiping the table, scrubbing pots, putting away kitchen utensils, sweeping the floor, taking out the trash, filling hot water, and preparing breakfast for tomorrow morning... Usually it takes two people nearly half an hour to finish it all. Zhao Yunsheng cleaned up downstairs alone for more than 40 minutes before going upstairs carrying two thermoses in one hand and a hot water bottle in the other.
Wang Ying saw Zhao Yun rising, looked up at him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"What's the big deal?" Zhao Yunsheng said, putting the thermos next to the washbasin rack at the door, and then putting the hot water bag on Wang Ying's legs.
"It's not cold, let's put down the quilt." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng obediently put the hot water bottle into the quilt.
"Do you want to write? I'll give you the desk and I'll do it tomorrow." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng chuckled and pulled Wang Ying up from the chair.
"What are you doing?" Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng leaned close to Wang Ying's ear and said, "Let's all go to bed early tonight."
Wang Ying understood and asked him, "Is your masterpiece finished?"
"A masterpiece is not written in a day. My inspiration has dried up and I need Yingzi to nourish me." As he said this, he hugged Wang Ying and walked towards the bed.
"I haven't washed yet..." Wang Ying protested. She didn't want to go to bed without washing.
Zhao Yunsheng went to pour water for Wang Ying. After they washed up, they got into bed and lay side by side. After a long time, neither of them moved. Suddenly, Wang Ying chuckled twice.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Yunsheng looked sideways at Wang Ying.
"Do you think I'm a real spoiler?" Wang Ying also turned sideways, and the two of them faced each other. They could smell the toothpaste in each other's mouths while talking.
Zhao Yunsheng also laughed: "Everyone should pay attention to hygiene."
"But it's still a bit of a spoiler, right?" Wang Ying said.
Although Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng had only been married for two months, they had spent every day together, and Wang Ying already knew Zhao Yunsheng very well. Zhao Yunsheng had barely spoken since then, and even after getting into bed, he lay still, didn't talk, and didn't hug her. This was clearly wrong.
Zhao Yunsheng looked at Wang Ying, brushed the hair away from her face with his hand, and said gently, "No."
"You're lying." Wang Ying pinched Zhao Yunsheng's face.
Zhao Yunsheng grabbed Wang Ying's hand and said, "Really not."
"What is that?" Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng squeezed Wang Ying's hand, looked into her eyes, and after several seconds he said, "I'm wondering why, at such a young age, you're so clear-headed and rational. I'm wondering if you'll lose control, if you'll be unable to control your emotions."
Wang Ying felt that Zhao Yunsheng still had something to say, perhaps he wanted to ask her, do you love me?
"Don't you like me like this?" Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng smiled. "That's right. I like you like this. So, I don't think you're spoiling the fun. I was just imagining what it would be like if you lost control and couldn't help yourself."
"So you're thinking about this, you're really mean."
"I have something worse." Zhao Yunsheng said, turning over and pressing Wang Ying under him...
The next day, Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng woke up a little late. After a week of work, the family was particularly busy on weekend mornings.
After breakfast, Zhao Yunsheng pulled Wang Ying upstairs and pressed her down in front of the desk, telling her to concentrate on her work and not to worry about anything else.
Zhao Yunsheng would occasionally come up, but he would always be very careful, taking something and then going back down. Occasionally, the voices of Zhao Yunsheng and Chen Xiuqin talking could be heard in the yard.
At noon, Gu Xuan and Gu Mei came over, and Zhao Yunsheng opened the door for them.
"Please come in, both of you." These two were Yingzi's "great benefactors", and Zhao Yunsheng was extremely polite to them.
"Where is Wang Ying?" Gu Mei asked.
"She's working overtime upstairs. I'll go call her down." Zhao Yunsheng said, "You two can sit in the main hall for a while."
Gu Xuan and Gu Mei walked across the yard to the main room and saw a laundry basin in the yard.
Zhao Yunsheng invited the two to sit down, poured them tea, and went upstairs to call Wang Ying.
Gu Mei whispered to Gu Xuan, "Wang Ying's husband is really nice. He even washes clothes!"
Gu Xuan snorted: "Then he is probably not very promising. I have never seen a man who still washes his own clothes after marriage."
"That's because those men are not good! They are lazy! They are selfish! And they still have the nerve to say that." Gu Mei rolled her eyes at her elder brother.
Zhao Yunsheng went upstairs and saw Wang Ying sorting out the documents. It looked like he had finished.
"Gu Xuan and Gu Mei are here." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"They are here. We agreed to have dinner with them last week," said Wang Ying.
"Well, do you want to change your clothes? Bring something with you."
"Change your clothes. After all, we are guests. Just bring two kilograms of freshly made shaqima. I told you last time." Wang Ying stood up, opened the high-legged cabinet, took out a woolen coat and put it on.
"It's really beautiful." said Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying changed his pants and leather shoes, looked in the mirror, fixed his hair and said, "I forgot to wash my hair this morning. Never mind, let it be."
Downstairs, the Gu family siblings' argument about whether married men should do their own laundry was forced to end.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long," said Wang Ying.
"It doesn't matter, let's go. Grandpa is waiting for you at home." Gu Mei said.
Zhao Yunsheng said hurriedly, "I won't go. Yingzi can go alone. I still have some clothes to wash in the yard. My parents are in the hospital, so there's no one at home to cook."
The Gu brothers and sisters originally wanted to invite Wang Ying, but after hearing what Zhao Yunsheng said, they did not invite him again.
Wang Ying picked up the Shaqima that she brought back from work yesterday and left with the Gu brothers and sisters.
The Gu siblings came on foot again this time, and Wang Ying also walked. When they reached the entrance of the alley, Gu Mei said, "Wang Ying, your husband is really a good man, very... very, um, virtuous!"
Wang Ying smiled and said, "I happened to be a little busy these past two days, so he took care of all the housework."
"That's great! A good man should do housework!" said Gu Mei.
Wang Ying felt that Gu Mei's understanding was a progress.
Gu Xuan snorted and decided not to get involved in this topic. He changed the subject forcefully and said, "You mentioned Shaqima, right? You said you were busy these past two days. Looks like you succeeded?"
"Well, it worked." Wang Ying said without hesitation.
"Are you so confident?" Gu Xuan felt that Beichong didn't have this thing. Even if they made it and it looked similar, they might not be able to taste the same.
"If you have confidence, how about I let you try one first?" Wang Ying said.
Gu Xuan wanted to try it, but as a handsome and elegant man, eating in the street would be unsightly, so he refused.
"Let's go back and let grandpa try it first." Gu Xuan said.
When we arrived at the Gu family, it was almost lunchtime. Mother Gu was cooking in the kitchen, and Grandpa Gu was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Seeing Wang Ying, a smile appeared on Mr. Gu's serious face: "Comrade Xiao Wang is here, welcome to be our guest, please take a seat."
Wang Ying and Gu Mei sat together on the sofa next to each other. Wang Ying placed the shaqi ma on the coffee table and said, "Thanks to your family's secret recipe, our factory tried making it. Grandpa Gu, please try it and see if ours is authentic."
Gu Xuan glanced at Wang Ying, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself, that's not what you said on the road just now, why do you have two faces?
"Okay, I'll try a piece." said Mr. Gu.
Gu Xuan took over and unwrapped the paper package. As he did so, he asked, "Is this also the packaging you're going to use when you go public?"
"No, we asked someone to design the packaging, but it hasn't been made yet," said Wang Ying.
"Oh, that's okay." Gu Xuan said.
Gu Xuan held the oil-paper package and let the old man take it himself. After the old man took a piece, Gu Mei also took a piece. Gu Xuan raised his hand towards Wang Ying, indicating that Wang Ying should take it.
Wang Ying refused. She smiled and said, "I tried it for a week and I don't know how many pieces I ate. I don't want to eat this again in the short term."
Gu Xuan ignored her and took a piece to eat.
At this time, Mr. Gu spoke up: "It's very authentic, with this taste and texture." He sighed and said, "I haven't eaten it in several years."
"Well! Wang Ying, you guys are amazing. You really made it. The taste and texture are exactly the same." Gu Mei gave Wang Ying a thumbs up.
"Your recipe is good, so we just follow it," said Wang Ying.
Gu Xuan finished one piece without commenting and immediately took another one.
"Brother, lunch will be served soon, so don't eat so much," said Gu Mei.
"Your brother has a big appetite." Gu Xuan said as he ate another piece in a few bites.
Gu Mei took a piece, stood up and said, "I'll give it to Mom to try."
Mr. Gu finished his first bite and stopped eating. He asked Wang Ying, "It's so authentic. Has anyone else eaten this?"
"Yes, our factory director has eaten it." Wang Ying said.
"No wonder." Old Master Gu nodded. "Even though there is a recipe, it's not easy, right?"
Wang Ying nodded. "It was a little difficult at first, mainly because it's not easy to stir-fry the syrup. It's hard to get the right amount."
"How was it resolved?"
Wang Ying smiled and said, "There's no secret. I just try it over and over again, testing the size of the fire, the length of time, and recording it over and over again."
"Not bad, not bad." Mr. Gu said, "It's good enough to be able to do it in a week."
"What about the rest? Are you ready to do it?" Mr. Gu asked again.
Gu Mei came back at this time and looked at Gu Xuan. The two siblings were still "hiding" many prescriptions and only gave four to Wang Ying.
Wang Ying said: "Not for now. After this one is launched and the hype has died down, we will launch new products."
Gu Xuan looked at Wang Ying, then at his sister, and said with his eyes, look, everyone else knows how to hide, why can't they hide?
"Well, that's fine." Old Man Gu nodded. "Does your factory support your work?"
Wang Yingxin thought, an old leader is an old leader, he knows everything.
"The factory manager and others were very supportive. The production director is my father-in-law, so everything went relatively smoothly," said Wang Ying.
"There are elders who are leaders in the factory." Gu Xuan said, and from his tone, one would think that Wang Ying's success was due to the elders in his family.
Gu Mei rolled her eyes at Gu Xuan and said, "Wang Ying got into the factory through her own exam. Did you forget about the last time Beichong held an exam to recruit workers?"
Gu Xuan didn't reply. Old Man Gu said, "Being in the same unit with your elders isn't always a good thing. If you achieve something, you're more likely to be questioned. If you don't, you're even more likely to be questioned. If something goes wrong for one party, the other party is more likely to be implicated."
Wang Ying nodded. "You're right. The factory has tasks to complete and is very supportive of my work. We've also solved some minor problems."
"Well, that's great. You and Xiaomei are friends, and you have helped her a lot. If you encounter any problems that you really can't solve, don't be polite, just come to me." said Mr. Gu.
Gu Mei interrupted from the side: "Yes, yes, you must tell us."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Okay, then I'd like to thank Grandpa Gu first."
Gu Xuan said: "It's not for nothing that I'm helping you. In the future, if we want to eat something, you should make it for us. It's inconvenient for us."
"No problem." Wang Ying said.
When lunch arrived, Wang Ying was surprised to find that the Gu family's meal was not as delicious as she had imagined... Gu Mei's mother was not good at cooking. Of course, the ingredients were fine, but the taste was just average. It could only be said that it was cooked and edible, but her cooking skills were not as good as Zhao Yunsheng's.
Wang Ying did not go against his conscience and praised the food for being delicious, but just ate quietly.
After dinner, Wang Ying was taken to her room by Gu Mei.
Gu Mei whispered, "My mom's cooking isn't very good, hehe."
"It's not bad," Wang Ying said. "A lot of people don't have enough to eat these days."
"My mother had never cooked before. After Aunt Li left, she started learning how to cook." Gu Mei said, "I won't say more. Look at the sweater I knitted."
Wang Ying was alert: "Could it be knitted for someone?"
"How is that possible! I've completely broken up with him." Gu Mei said, "I knitted it for my brother. He keeps asking for it."
"That's fine." Wang Ying said, and Wang Ying began to teach Gu Mei how to knit a sweater.
The two of them leaned head against each other, and Wang Ying taught Gu Mei how to insert the needle, remove the needle, and leave a hollow needle. Gu Mei learned very seriously.
There was a knock on the door. Gu Mei went to check it out. It was Gu Xuan who knocked on the door, coming to bring them some fruit.
Gu Xuan looked past Gu Mei and saw Wang Ying knitting a sweater with her head down. A beam of light coming in from the window just happened to shine on her, making her look as quiet as water.
Gu Xuan looked at Wang Ying for two seconds, then turned his gaze away and said to his sister, "I'm going out. Stay home and stay with your friends."
"I know. I'm seriously learning how to knit sweaters from Wang Ying!" said Gu Mei.
"I hope I can wear it this winter." Gu Xuan left after saying this.
Gu Mei came to Wang Ying with the cut apples and pears, pinched a piece of apple and put it into Wang Ying's mouth.
"Have you learned it?" Wang Ying asked Gu Mei after finishing eating the apple.
"It's almost time. You should go back. You still have work to do," said Gu Mei.
"Well, I'll come and play with you when I'm free," said Wang Ying.
"Hey, I won't keep you here anymore. I'll take you back."
"No need. You send me off, and I will send you off. It's broad daylight now, it doesn't matter." Wang Ying stood up.
Gu Mei sent Wang Ying downstairs. Wang Ying said goodbye to the Gu family and was given a bag of apples by Gu Mei's mother and taken back.
When Wang Ying returned home, the house was quiet. Seeing Zhao Yunsheng's bicycle still there, she knew he was home. She went to the kitchen to peel an apple, then tiptoed upstairs. When she got upstairs, she saw Zhao Yunsheng writing at his desk.
Zhao Yunsheng felt that the light from the door was blocked. He looked up and saw Wang Ying, and said with a smile: "Huh? Why are you back so early? I was thinking of picking you up at four o'clock!"
Wang Ying took out a peeled apple from behind him, handed it to Zhao Yunsheng and said, "I have some work to finish, so I came back. Please have an apple."
Zhao Yunsheng took a bite from Wang Ying's hand and said, "Let's share it."
Wang Ying also took a bite and then stuffed the apple into Zhao Yunsheng's hand.
Zhao Yunsheng ate an apple and offered his seat: "You sit down and work. Finish your work early and rest early in the evening."
