Wei Xia was also a smart person. After hearing that Lin Jiaojiao didn't want to reveal too much, she didn't ask any further questions. "That's pretty impressive, too. Come on, I'll take you to meet some of the masters."
The innermost workshop of the factory.
As soon as you enter, you are hit by a very rich and sweet smell.
"Master Ji, Master Wang, please stop for a moment. Let me introduce someone to you!"
When the busy masters heard Wei Xia's words, they stopped what they were doing and gathered together.
Except for one woman, the other four are men, all around forty years old.
Standing at the front was a middle-aged man with glasses and fair features.
"These are the most skilled chefs here. Every year, the mooncakes we make are made with their recipes. Especially this Master Ji Zhong. He was hired from Shanghai at a high salary. He brought many of his techniques with him."
"Hello, Master Ji, hello, all the masters!"
Several masters didn't know who this young girl was.
When you hear a greeting, you will respond enthusiastically.
"Masters, this comrade Xiaolin was specially arranged by the factory director to come here to share mooncake making techniques with everyone. The factory director hopes to achieve outstanding results in mooncake making this time, and hopes that everyone can cooperate!"
After these words were spoken, the faces of several masters all looked unhappy.
They also heard the news these days.
There was a female comrade named Lin who was specially arranged by the factory director to work here. Not only did she not have to come to work every day, but she was also assigned to the design department as soon as she arrived.
Unexpectedly, it has now affected such a core department as theirs.
It seems that she is really a girl!
But this factory director is too hasty. It's not wrong to arrange a position for his own daughter, but he can't mess around in important departments, right?
Only Ji Zhong still had a smile on his face: "Of course, let's work together. Since it was arranged by the factory director, then let Comrade Xiaolin demonstrate!"
"sure."
Lin Jiaojiao noticed that Ji Zhong's smile was a little fake, but she didn't care.
Anyway, similar things have happened before.
Strength is the only way to test the truth.
Wash your hands and put on an apron.
Lin Jiaojiao checked the materials in the workshop and found that they were quite abundant. "I also need some mangoes and taro."
"What do you want these for?"
"I'll go. I happen to have some mangoes and taro. I'll go to the restaurant and get some."
Ren Yiwei interrupted his master's questioning and took the job on his own initiative.
Lin Jiaojiao was grateful and nodded.
Ji Zhong, who was watching from the side, felt even more disdainful.
Using mango and taro to make mooncakes is simply unheard of!
It's really like playing house.
But who can blame him for his special status?
I can only play along.
"Is there anyone else who needs help? We happen to be free."
"You don't need anything else. I see the ingredients here are all ready. Let me prepare the other ingredients first!"
Lin Jiaojiao first ordered the five-nut one.
Put the chopped nuts and raisins together, then add appropriate amount of sugar and honey.
Checked the prepared dough again.
Not very satisfied.
I found some flour and stir-fried it in the pan.
This action attracted the attention of several masters.
"What are you doing?"
"To increase the crispiness and make the dough crispier, this is the most important step!"
"Familiar noodles?"
The disdain in the eyes of several masters dissipated a little.
After the dough and five-nut filling are ready.
Ren Yiwei also brought mangoes and taro.
Lin Jiaojiao followed the previous steps, peeled the mango, mashed it, added milk, appropriate amounts of sugar and honey, and sesame oil.
The same principle applies to taro. After steaming it, mash it into a paste and add milk, sugar, honey, and sesame oil.
I also made snow skin with cooked glutinous rice.
Do as you speak.
The production process of each step and the proportion of each material required are explained in detail.
Ren Yiwei was a careful person. He brought a pen and paper in advance and wrote down everything Lin Jiaojiao said.
The masters had long since lost their disdain and ridicule, and were all listening attentively to Lin Jiaojiao's explanation.
He would ask a few questions from time to time.
Waiting for several samples to come out of the pot.
Everyone sat together and tasted it.
As expected, everyone was amazed again, including Master Ji who was specially invited from Shanghai.
"Great! Every one of these mooncakes has a unique flavor and rich textures. Even this one with five-nut filling has a crispy crust and a fragrant nut aroma. But it's not overly sweet when you take a bite. The proportions are perfect!"
"Yeah! If you don't have a few years of practice, you definitely can't make it. Little girl, how old are you this year? How long have you been learning to make these pastries?"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "I'm sorry for embarrassing myself in front of the masters!"
"You are gifted to have such an ability!"
Ji Zhong admired sincerely and felt from the bottom of his heart that this was a talent.
No wonder people say a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s son will dig holes!
This factory director’s daughter is extraordinary!
"Comrade Xiaolin, are you interested in learning pastry making with me?"
"..." Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect Ji Zhong to change his expression so quickly and now he wants to accept him as a disciple.
Just looking for an opportunity to refuse.
Then I heard the factory director's voice coming from the door: "It's so lively, I came a little late, it seems I missed a lot!"
In fact, he stood at the door for a while.
I happened to see everyone praising Lin Jiaojiao.
These old masters are the most difficult people to serve in the factory.
He usually doesn't want to talk to other workers, and even the factory director sometimes doesn't give him a good look.
But since they have the skills and abilities, they should naturally be praised highly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiaojiao got along so well with them in just a short time!
"Factory Director!"
"Director, you're here. Come and try some of these mooncakes! They're all made by Xiaolin. They're really delicious!"
When Wei Xia saw the factory director coming, she immediately handed over a mooncake and praised Lin Jiaojiao. "Even Master Ji said she cooked well and wanted to take her in as his apprentice. Comrade Xiao Lin is truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and capable. Everyone in our factory likes her very much!"
"You are indeed beautiful, kind-hearted, and capable. Xiaolin, why do I feel that you are more popular than me?"
Lin Jiaojiao heard the factory director's teasing and smiled, shaking her head. "No way! Even though I just got here, I can still feel everyone's love for you. As a factory director, this isn't easy! You're amazing!"
"Hey! You little girl..."
The factory manager was stunned for a moment, then started laughing too.
He is really happy!
I like this girl from the bottom of my heart.
What a talent!
It was the best decision for me to recognize the value of this talented horse and keep it.
