Chapter 238 Potato Stir-fried Balls
The young couple turned around, and Yue Ning looked at Qiao Junxian: "Dear, carry the potatoes."
Qiao Junxian happily picked up the snakeskin bag. Yue Ning's eyes widened: "My boyfriend is so amazing."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Junxian asked.
Yue Ning pulled the suitcase and ran to him: "It means exactly what it says. My boyfriend is so awesome."
Arriving at the parking lot, Yue Ning saw a brand new black Crown and asked, "Did you buy a new car?"
Qiao Junxian put down the snakeskin bag, took out the key, opened the trunk, put the snakeskin bag in, and Yue Ning also put the suitcase in.
"Well, as more people came and went, I bought a van and a small car for common use in the factory. The car doesn't have to be too good, just enough to be used."
The two got in the car together, and Qiao Junxian said, "You have passed the test, and it is time to sign up for driving lessons."
"Okay, I'll sign up when I get back." Yue Ning looked at him.
Just as Qiao Junxian was about to drive, Yue Ning hooked his finger, and he leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Qiao Junxian's face was full of smiles, and Yue Ning sighed: "Uncle Abang has found a wife. Seeing them being so affectionate, I miss you."
She spoke her love words frankly, and Qiao Junxian's ears were burning, but he said, "I don't think you think much about it. You are in Yuecheng and I am in Pengcheng, but I haven't seen you call me."
"Brother! I'm so busy..." Yue Ning chattered to her boyfriend about how busy she had been these days.
Knowing that she was busy, he said, "There's no need to work so hard."
Yue Ning also knew that she couldn't bring the bad habit of "compulsion" from her previous life with her. She required her subordinates to combine work and rest and to have a balance between life and work. But when it came to herself, she couldn't seem to stop.
"Well! When grandma comes, we'll accompany her for a good walk. I can also take this opportunity to have a good rest." Yue Ning said.
When the car arrived at the gate of Yimei's new factory, a furry little yellow dog rushed out, wagging its tail. Uncle Zhongyi opened the gate, bent down and picked up the dog. Qiao Junxian drove into the factory.
Yue Ning got off the car and saw a row of factory buildings facing south, an office building facing west, a dormitory building and a canteen connected together, surrounding three sides with a large gate.
The land in the middle should be reserved for growing green plants, but now it is divided into clear pieces: loofahs and tomatoes are planted on racks; on the other side are green water spinach, sweet potato leaves, and lettuce; neatly arranged are eggplants and peppers; and scattered small plots are planted with chives, basil, and basil.
"Aunt Chunmei and the others insisted on growing vegetables, so I let them do it." Qiao Junxian took out the things from the trunk.
When the furry little dog saw Yue Ning, it barked in a baby voice.
Yue Ning chased after it, and the puppy took two steps back and barked twice. Qiao Junxian squatted down: "Xiao Huang, come here."
The puppy came running over. Qiao Junxian rubbed the dog's head. Yue Ning also went over to rub the dog: "Xiao Huang! Sister will take you to Gangcheng to live with Dahei for a while, okay? Let Dahei teach you how to catch mice."
Yue Ning had raised Dahei for a long time and knew how a puppy feels comfortable. In a few seconds, the puppy turned over and let her rub its belly.
"Sister Ningning!"
Yue Ning looked up and saw Xiuxiu on the balcony on the second floor of the office. She ran down.
I haven't seen you for two months, and Xiuxiu has become more fashionable: a white shirt with a flowing collar, a knee-length skirt with a red background and black dots, and a pair of black mid-heeled leather shoes. She looks more fashionable than the staff at the Spring Fair.
"Xiu Xiu, you are becoming more and more beautiful!"
"It was Miss Shi from Hong Kong who matched it for me." Xiuxiu turned around and asked, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Yue Ning held her hand.
Xiuxiu helped Yue Ning carry the suitcase: "Let's go to the dormitory to put our luggage."
"Wait." Yue Ning called her, "Uncle Zhongyi, these are the potato eggs from our hometown. Send them to the kitchen."
"Oh, I've been wanting this for a long time. The potatoes here don't taste that good."
"I'll make potato stewed rice for dinner. I also brought pickled radishes and pickled peppers to stew fish for you." Yue Ning said.
"Okay, okay." Yang Zhongyi walked in carrying the snakeskin bag.
Yue Ning followed Xiuxiu upstairs, and Qiao Junxian said, "I'm going to the office."
"Go ahead! I'll go to the cafeteria to make oil and chili sauce. You can come directly to the cafeteria."
"knew."
Yue Ning followed Xiuxiu into the dormitory building. Qiao Junxian also lived here now. The facilities of Pengcheng Hotel were old and not as good as the newly renovated rooms here, each with a private bathroom.
Yue Ning will stay with Xiuxiu tonight.
Xiuxiu told her that she usually lived in this room alone, and if Miss Shi and Miss Jin from Hongcheng came, they could stay here.
Miss Shi is in charge of marketing and sales, and mainly communicates with European and American customers. Xiuxiu usually contacts her to report on the progress of orders and handle the procedures for goods to be cleared to the port city.
Miss Jin is the quality supervisor. In the beginning, after the fans were assembled in Pengcheng, they had to be unpacked, inspected and tested in the Gangcheng factory before being re-labeled and shipped to customers.
In order to save processes, there are now two inspectors from the port city stationed here. When each batch is shipped, Miss Jin will come and stay for two days, and conduct random inspections and release them according to the proportion.
Xiuxiu told Yue Ning all this in a clear and logical manner. Yue Ning saw the English book she brought for Xiuxiu on the table and was surprised to find that it was the second volume.
"Xiu Xiu, are you studying the second volume?"
Xiuxiu took out the first volume from the cabinet and handed it to her proudly: "I listened to you and memorized it all. I have memorized half of the second volume as well."
"Xiu Xiu, you are so awesome." Yue Ning pinched Xiu Xiu's face.
"Miss Shi said that if I could improve my English, she wouldn't have to come over here, and that foreign faxes could be sent directly to me in the future without her having to translate them for me. My mother said that Mr. Qiao wanted us to work for you, and we couldn't lose your face, so we had to do our best."
Yue Ning nodded: "It's not about repaying anyone, so you have to work hard and learn English well, and you can make a lot of money in the future. Got it!"
"I'll listen to you. That family wrote to me this time, asking my parents to bring that person over. My parents didn't agree." Xiuxiu said, "I also think that I'm still young and need to learn skills well."
Yue Ning opened the suitcase and took out the local specialties: "Yes, now that they see your family is doing well, they want to get close to you. If they come to bother you, how troublesome is that?"
Xiuxiu took the things and went downstairs with Yue Ning. Downstairs was the kitchen, and there were two cooking aunties, one was Aunt Chunmei, and the other was a local auntie.
"Auntie, auntie! Can I use the small stove?" Yue Ning pointed to the gas stove next to her. This stove is used to cook small pot dishes when guests come.
"Yes." Lu Chunmei held the potato eggs in her hand, "Your uncle brought the potato eggs in and said he wanted to eat a bowl of potato pudding."
"Make more. Others will definitely want some." Yue Ning held up a bag of pepper noodles. "This time, comrades from the northwest gave me a lot of pepper noodles, as well as Sichuan peppercorns from our area. I'll make some oil and chili sauce."
"Okay." Lu Chunmei turned around, washed a few more potatoes, and pointed to a large rice cooker and said, "I'll cook it in the rice cooker. It's very fast. This is the rice cooker made by our factory. They told me to use it as much as I can to see when it breaks down."
Yue Ning went to look at the rice cooker. In her eyes, this rice cooker was indeed old-fashioned and simple. However, this rice cooker was made by technicians recruited from Japan by Qiao Junxian!
Yue Ning poured rapeseed oil into the iron pot, and put pepper, star anise, and cinnamon into the cold oil first. When the oil temperature rose to 70%, she added onions, ginger, garlic, and coriander. As soon as these fresh ingredients with moisture were added, the pot immediately began to boil. She picked up the wok and stirred quickly. When the onion leaves changed color, she turned off the heat immediately. The spices sank to the bottom of the pot like fallen leaves. The residual heat evaporated the last bit of moisture, and then the spices were fished out.
Mix chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, white sesame seeds and salt, add white wine, and stir into semi-dry ingredients.
The pan was heated again, and the rapeseed oil was bubbling in the iron pan, creating fine bubbles. She scooped up a spoonful of oil and poured it on the chili noodles, which sizzled as the oil beads hit the chili noodles, and the hot steam was wrapped with the numbness of the pepper and the fragrance of the sesame.
"Why does it smell so good?" Agen poked his head in through the window and looked at Yue Ning in surprise, "Ningning, you made spicy oil."
"The chili oil is made with chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns from my hometown." Yue Ning told him that the Qin pepper is not very spicy, and it is the aroma that is most tempting.
"No wonder it smells so good! It makes me so hungry."
"Ningning brought a snakeskin bag of potatoes from her hometown. After work, you can pound the potatoes. We'll have potato fritters for lunch." Aunt Chunmei said.
"Okay."
Yue Ning had already seen the jar of sour rice water. She took out the sauerkraut, cut it into sections, added the sour rice water, fried the sour rice water in a pot, and then cut the leeks and chopped coriander.
Aunt Chunmei washed the mortar and mallet. The potatoes were still cooking. Aunt Chunmei said to Yue Ning, "Ningning, help me watch the potato pot. I'm going to get some food."
"knew."
The aunt walked up to Lu Chunmei and asked quietly: "Chunmei, didn't you say that this is our boss lady? Why did you let her show you the pot?"
Lu Chunmei was stunned for a moment, and it seemed to be the case. She turned around and said, "How about, Ningning, you stop watching?"
Yue Ning laughed out loud: "You are my aunt, isn't it my duty to ask me to do something? I'm watching!"
The two of them served food to the workers. Aunt Chunmei said to the people in Xiaoyanggou: "Don't eat too much. Wait 20 minutes and there will be potato dumplings."
"Sister Lu, why are we treated differently? You have food, but we don't?" said a young man from Pengcheng.
Ah Biao patted his shoulder and said, "If you want to eat, come down and fight. I won't deny you food."
Yue Ning poked his head out: "A Biao, come over and pick some potatoes."
A Biao put down the rice bowl and strode in. A Gen also went to wash his hands, and the two of them came in and pounded potatoes together.
Qiao Junxian came down from upstairs and walked in to see: "Making rice cakes? I'm good at this."
"No, I'm making potato dumplings." Yue Ning said.
"oh!"
Agen said, "Leave one bowl for your Aunt Yueqin."
"You can keep it for yourself later." Yue Ning prepared the seasoning, "My aunt Yueqin's belly is very big, right? Is she still working?"
"Their Mr. Shi is very nice. He just needs to let Yueqin report there every day. Today my sister Yuxin's mother is here. She has to accompany us. She will probably be back after dinner." Agen said.
"Who is Sister Yuxin?" Yue Ning didn't remember there was such a person in their Xiaoyanggou.
Agen said: "You have seen it! She was trafficked to Xiaoyanggou and sold to our girl."
"oh!"
"Her mother is a professor of animal science at the Agricultural College. A month ago, sister Yuxin and her husband came to see us with their children, and happened to talk about this with your aunt Yueqin. Your aunt Yueqin said that it was difficult to get the data. Sister Yuxin said that her mother was an expert in this field. Later, we got in touch. After we got the data, Mr. Shi happened to want to ask some questions, so your aunt contacted Teacher Lu to come over." Agen said, "Your aunt will accompany us after all."
Yue Ning remembered that Paul from Durand was coming soon, so she said, "Uncle Agen, please ask Teacher Lu to come over in the evening. I want to see her too."
"Meet her?"
"About the breeding of French geese. I was wondering if you could open a breeding farm so that you wouldn't lose your old business."
"I'm fine the way I am now." Agen said, he is very satisfied now.
Yue Ning said: "There is a difference between good and very good. Besides, even if you don't do it, I still have to find someone to cooperate with me. We need professional guidance on how to raise the Landes geese."
"Okay, okay. I'll go to their factory after dinner and talk to Teacher Lu." Agen nodded.
Yue Ning saw that the potatoes had been beaten into a sticky consistency and said, "It's almost done. You can eat it now."
They put the stir-fried rice into a large enamel basin, brought it to the food window, and found that no one had left.
When the people in the cafeteria saw Yue Ning appear, they all came over to line up. Some people said: "The dishes made by the boss lady herself can only be eaten by luck in Hong Kong."
