Chapter 120 Product Preparation
Qiao Xi didn't notice the social activities of the golden macaques outside. She was busy with the work at hand.
The second pot of baked beans in tomato sauce came out of the pot, and Josh and the golden-threaded macaques were busy tightening the cans of steamed baked beans from the previous pot and directly turning them upside down in the prepared box.
Then the dough that has been fermented for the second time is sent to the bread oven. With three bread ovens, the bread baked at one time can fill an entire storage basket.
Josh lined the table with clean brown paper so that the bread could be put directly in after it was baked.
This time it was not as simple as the last time she sold taro bread. She had prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
If there are any shortcomings, she will take out her notebook and write them down immediately. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. This has been her principle in both her lives.
Next was the canning of the second pot of baked beans. This time the macaques were much more at ease, moving the cans between their hands without any collisions or breakages. They were very smart and Josh didn't have to worry too much.
"Quack~" The sound of a brown-headed vulture came from outside the warehouse.
The golden macaques were all busy with their own things, so there was no need for Qiao Xi to keep an eye on them. She had to go out and see how the taro was doing.
"Take your time, I'm going to go out and check on the taro." Qiao Xi pointed outside the warehouse.
The busy little monkeys nodded in unison. They were already immersed in the sense of accomplishment of having mastered their work. They were even happier without Josh around.
This would prove that they were capable of handling every aspect of the production process, allowing Josh to feel confident in them.
When I went out to take a look, I saw that Zongzong had indeed landed on the familiar branch of the tree.
The golden macaques have already cleaned the taro one by one, even cleaner than Josh. They are very serious and even pick on each other. If anyone misses a spot, they will point it out to each other.
"Thank you. The extra taro will be made into taro balls as rewards for every diligent little monkey." Josh said with a smile.
Ao~eh, ao~ah~ The golden macaques made all kinds of strange noises.
Even the golden macaques that were not very familiar with Qiao Xi jumped for joy. It was certainly a very happy thing to be able to eat the delicious taro balls in the children's mouths!
Seeing how happy they were, Josh also curled up the corners of his mouth. Besides earning federal points, the best thing about having a farm of one's own is that one can satisfy oneself. One can plant whatever one needs, and the feeling of self-sufficiency is so satisfying!
You see, there are mountains of taro dug out from the taro fields. Even if Qiao Xi sells part of it, there is still a large part stored in the warehouse. No matter what the little ones on the farm want to eat and how much they want to eat, she can take it out and share it with these lovely little helpers at any time.
Josh feels that this is also the source of happiness for farmers.
The brown-headed vulture croaked twice, disturbing the noisy group of little monkeys.
It was about to peel the taro, but Josh's attention was always attracted by them. Wouldn't it be like a one-act play for a bird like it? It didn't want that.
At some point, the big black bird had some childish thoughts of snatching the attention of little Josh. Although it was a mature high-level magic beast, it would not change. Quack~
Hearing the Brown-headed Vulture's low warning voice, the Golden Macaques all became quiet.
Although they were very familiar with this big bird that often appeared in the Magic Fruit Forest, no low-level monster could resist the warning of a high-level monster, even if they were neighbors.
Looking at the Brown-headed Vulture holding its head high and looking aloof, Josh felt that its tsundere nature was becoming stronger and stronger recently.
"Alright, alright, Brown, take back your high-level magical beast aura, and the little monkeys stop making trouble. How about we watch the Brown-headed Vulture peel the taro together?"
The golden macaques nodded obediently, each of them pursed their lips and put their hands in their pockets, looking like honest monkeys, which made people want to laugh.
It seems that the brown ones are under a lot of pressure here.
The ground was washed clean with clean water, and the taro were piled on the ground. Qiao Xi spread the taro out a little to make it easier for the brown-headed vulture to peel them.
Zongzong's skills are getting better and better. Now he can control several wind blades and peel the taro cleanly.
Even the bumps and potholes can be removed.
Seeing that the taro skin was peeled cleanly, Qiao Xi signaled the golden macaques to join her in picking up the peeled taro on the ground, rinse off the sticky skin, and put them into a clean basket.
Let the brown-headed vulture do the second cutting step. This time it can chop and slice as it pleases, as long as it is small pieces.
There was already a lot of taro in a few baskets, and after cutting it, it piled up into a small mountain in the baskets.
With the help of the wind, Qiao Xi pulled the baskets of taro pieces into the warehouse. He waved goodbye to the arrogant big black bird and told it to come back later to eat its taro balls.
I also comforted the golden macaques that had nothing to do for the time being and let them continue to play happily.
She returned to the warehouse and started working.
It can't be said that she was working, it was more of a command. The golden macaques were able to do 80% of her work, and there was very little that Qiao Xi had to do herself.
Seeing Qiao Xi coming back, the golden macaques all yelled at her, wanting her to see how well they were doing.
Josh looked and saw that indeed, during the short time when she was away, they were also working seriously. Not only did they not slack off, but they also did each of their tasks seriously.
This is much more reliable than human labor. Qiao Xi thought about how she often slacked off when she worked in the past. Seeing these serious little monkeys, she felt inexplicably embarrassed. She felt really embarrassed that she was not as hardworking as a little monkey.
They had finished canning their second batch of baked beans in tomato sauce and a light mist was beginning to rise.
Qiao Xi and the little monkeys freed up their hands to clean the first two large pots, which would be used to cook taro paste, so they had to be cleaned and washed before use.
It's not just books that we regret not having enough of when we need them, the same goes for pots.
Josh repeated to himself several times in his mind: buy a pot, buy a pot.
None of the processed products on the farm require a big pot, but there are too few of them now, and if we try to make several of them at the same time, we will be too busy to handle it.
The pots all had to line up, and Josh smiled speechlessly.
The fruit is red, and Josh didn't want its color to affect the color of the taro paste, as that would make it look ugly and would also have a strange taste.
So she washed it very carefully, wiping the huge pot until it shined, and the golden macaques followed her example, wiping it very diligently.
But they were small in size after all, and couldn't wipe as fast as Josh, a tall human. They were still wiping after Josh moved the pot back.
Seeing that Josh had finished it, they were a little anxious and jumped around, wanting to wipe it faster.
"Don't worry, don't worry, take your time. I'll cook the first pot first. By the time I'm done, your pots will have been cleaned. We just need to cooperate well."
