Chapter 9 Do I look like a fool to you?
A rich fragrance wafted out, instantly conquering everyone.
Kong Laifu took a deep breath and sighed: "I have been making tiaozi cake for 20 years, but it was all in vain."
He is the master craftsman who is known as the best in the province.
Judging from the taste alone, the taozi cake he made was completely defeated.
“How did you do that?” he asked.
Cheng Hui stood beside the baking tray and checked the finished product.
The sizes are uneven, the cooking is not quite right, and some are dry and cracked.
"The ingredients are still insufficient, and the technique is also lacking. Please just try it." She did not answer the question, but said to everyone.
Everyone couldn't wait any longer and didn't mind the heat. They each picked up one and tasted it.
It was Tao Juan who was the first to exclaim: "Why is it so soft? Why is it so tender? I have never eaten such delicious tiaozigao in my life!"
She wants to shout out her grievances loudly!
She was almost scolded and cried outside just now!
Others kept silent and didn't look at her...
Now they were also stunned by the softness of the cake. They had never imagined that cake could be made so soft and tender, like cotton! There is also an indescribable sweet smell.
Sun Laifu couldn't help himself and asked excitedly: "How did you do it? Just use 30 eggs? One pound of flour with 6 eggs? We have used this recipe before! It doesn't taste like this! It makes my throat hurt."
Cheng Hui just smiled and said nothing.
Gao Zhi couldn't help but pull his cotton jacket to cover his trouser pockets.
There were also 5 hard-boiled eggs there! In fact, one pound of flour only needs 5 eggs.
This is really Cheng Hui’s exclusive secret recipe. Otherwise, if you want to make the chiffon cake so soft and delicious, you need to use 15-30 eggs for 1 kilogram of flour!
She didn't say it twice, and everyone realized that she didn't want to say it.
Yes, this recipe is so important! Not only could it save their factory, but she could also take the recipe to any pastry factory and get a job.
Guo Dajun became extremely enthusiastic again, shaking Cheng Hui's hand and said excitedly: "Now you are the deputy director of our factory! What should we do next?"
"What do you think?" Cheng Hui asked.
Guo Dajun said immediately: "I will take these trough cakes to the county food factory. They will definitely give us the raw materials this time so that we can continue production!"
Cheng Hui looked at him and smiled. Even though he was forced to this point, he was still so naive?
But her boss is naive, which is a good thing for her because it is easy to fool him.
"I don't think this is a good idea. I taught my sister-in-law how to make this tiaozi cake on the spot. It was her first time and she didn't perform well. The raw materials were also of poor quality and it hasn't reached the level I want. Why don't I make a few more batches and wait until the performance is stable, then you can talk to me?" Cheng Hui said.
Everyone was stunned. Is this a newbie doing this for the first time? It’s so delicious but it’s not performing well? So what does it look like if you perform well?
They immediately became excited.
Guo Dajun hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
He is now full of confidence, thinking that this tiaozi cake will surely catch the eyes of the leaders of the county food factory. It does not take a little while to make it better and more pleasing to their eyes.
"Then keep doing it!"
This time he was quite generous and gave her all the remaining flour, eggs and sugar for her to use as she pleased.
"I still need milk. If you don't have milk, milk powder will do." Cheng Hui said.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, as they never put such precious things in the tiaozi cakes they made.
Guo Dajun gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy you a can! You don't need much, do you?"
"A can of 500 grams of milk powder can be mixed with 100 kilograms of flour," said Cheng Hui.
Guo Dajun felt a little distressed.
100 kilograms of flour costs only 20 yuan, but 500 grams of milk powder costs 5 yuan! The cost suddenly increased by a quarter!
But in order to save everyone's jobs, he endured it!
A few minutes later, he bought a glass jar of milk powder with his own money and handed it to Cheng Hui carefully.
The others stayed in the room, hesitating and not wanting to leave.
How can any recipe of a food factory be kept secret? We all work together, in an open and transparent manner.
It's unrealistic to expect one person to do it, and he will be exhausted.
But this commune food factory is too small, with only one oven, which can bake 2 trays at a time, with 50 pieces in each tray.
One person can handle it.
Cheng Hui said to everyone: "One-on-one teaching is better. I will teach her first, and then we can teach you together in the future, which will be faster."
When everyone heard this, they left with satisfaction.
With this technology, they can find a job in other food factories...
No one is really stupid.
Gao Zhi was not happy about it, and once the people left, he immediately said, "Sister-in-law, are you really going to teach them? They are different from me! Be careful that the apprentices teach you something, or you starve to death!"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Cheng Hui sat down slowly and made herself a cup of milk powder.
The old milk powder from the seventies, with the pure milk aroma, tastes so good that she wants to sigh!
The baby in her belly liked it too and kicked her gently several times.
Cheng Hui smiled even wider.
It's okay to teach these people, but not now.
Gao Zhi felt relieved immediately when he saw the worried look on her face.
"You eat too." Cheng Hui invited.
Gao Zhi was immediately surprised: "Can I?"
Without waiting for Cheng Hui's consent, she had already started to sweep away everything in her!
She can eat a fist-sized glutinous rice cake in two bites!
Judging from the look on her face, one baking tray isn't enough for her to show off.
"Eat less. It's not a good idea to eat like this at the beginning. Once I've secured the position of factory director, you can eat as much as you want." Cheng Hui said.
Gao Zhi was suddenly choked and his eyes were filled with tears.
My sister-in-law is so kind to her...
It's just that I'm a little too ambitious! So the role is not deputy, but principal?
......
After eating and drinking, the two continued to work.
This time Cheng Hui also took action. She prepared the ingredients and stirred the food herself, leaving Gao Zhi to act as a human egg beater.
The second batch of baked cakes turned out to be more delicate and tender.
And because of the addition of milk, the taste is even better!
She baked two more batches, stopping only when all the eggs were used up.
The last two batches tasted a little better, but with the existing raw materials, this is basically the effect.
Guo Dajun was very excited when he saw the several large baskets full of glutinous rice cakes. The output was much higher than their previous output.
In the past, they could produce one and a half kilograms of taro cakes, about 15 pieces, from one kilogram of flour.
Now Cheng Hui makes the cakes more fluffy. She can make 25 cakes from one pound of flour. They are the same size as before, but there are many more of them.
Ordinary people will definitely be happier after buying it.
Who dares to say that the caozi cake made by the Hongqi Food Factory is not good? Who dares to fire them for this reason!
"I'll take it to the county food factory right now!" Guo Dajun was about to leave while carrying a basket of freshly baked goods.
"Wait a minute." Cheng Hui said, "I don't think now is the right time."
Everyone looked at her.
"Director Guo, since I'm already the deputy director, let's divide the work. From now on, you will be in charge of personnel transfers, and I will be in charge of production and sales. How about that?" Cheng Hui said.
Guo Dajun felt relieved and looked at Cheng Hui with completely unguarded eyes.
Being young means you have little experience and are ignorant.
Managing people is what it means to manage! Only then can you be a factory manager!
Being a manager is a thankless job!
"Okay, okay, okay. From now on, you have the final say on production and sales! I'll listen to you!" said Guo Dajun.
"Okay." Cheng Hui said, "Then listen to me. Don't send it to the county food factory yet. We will make all the flour and then sell it. We will use the money to pay everyone's wages."
Just one sentence made everyone stand on her side!
Guo Dajun looked at the ferocious eyes of the crowd and gently put down the basket.
