In the following days, new recruits training competitions began in the military camp.
Zheng Baozhu prepares delicious food in the space.
When Song Zhiting returned home, he could smell the faint aroma of food wafting through the house.
He wanted to ask what was going on, but Zheng Baozhu always left because of something else when he was about to ask.
When I opened the side room, the bag containing the things was gone.
…
The results of the recruit competition came out, and the soldiers from the first battalion won the competition. Everyone looked at Song Zhiting with anticipation.
Song Zhiting said, "Wait."
When I came back, I saw Zheng Baozhu preparing seafood. Just as I was about to ask, Zheng Baozhu pointed to the side room and said, "It's ready. It's inside."
Song Zhiting entered the room and saw two cardboard boxes. He opened them and found that they were full of individually packaged chicken feet.
It's pretty good. Chicken feet are cheap, but they are meat.
Song Zhiting picked up the two cardboard boxes and felt that they were heavier than when he carried them back. He thought it might be because the chicken feet had been processed and contained soup.
As soon as he walked out of the door, two little soldiers came to greet him, and each of them took away the cardboard box in Song Zhiting's arms.
…
In the camp, the new recruits are still waiting for their rewards.
When they saw the two cartons being carried back, they all gathered around to take a look.
Song Zhiting said, "Give three to each new soldier and one to each veteran soldier to try. If there is no objection, the squad leaders will start distributing them."
As long as there is food to eat, who would have any objections?
After each class had received theirs, there were still some left. Song Zhiting picked up one and took a bite, but found that there was no bone.
Everyone opened the packages and started eating. The veterans finished their meals one by one, but were still not satisfied. Seeing that there was still food left in the carton next to Song Zhiting, they asked, "Battalion Commander, there are so many left. Can you finish them all by yourself?"
Song Zhiting said sternly: "Don't think about it. From now on, the best students in each class can come and get two chicken feet. It will last until they are all gone."
"Yeah!" the soldiers cheered.
…
Ding Peizhi came over and said with a smile: "Baozhu has made something good again, look how happy they are."
Seeing Ding Peizhi coming, Zheng Baozhu smiled and waved: "Sister Ding, come quickly and try the spicy boneless chicken feet I made."
Zheng Baozhu was holding two plates, one of which was red oily and had a lot of chili peppers in it.
The other plate is a vivid white color.
Ding Peizhi pointed at the plate and asked, "Is this one cooked?"
Zheng Baozhu smiled and handed her chopsticks: "Of course it's cooked, this plate is lemon boneless chicken feet."
Ding Peizhi picked up a chicken claw uncertainly, put it in her mouth, took a bite, chewed it twice, and her eyes lit up.
"It's sour and spicy. I can eat an extra bowl of rice with this."
Zheng Baozhu asked her to try the one with red oil, which was so spicy that Ding Peizhi smacked her lips: "This one is spicier than the previous one, but also very fragrant. Old Qiu likes this one."
Ding Peizhi praised: "Baozhu, how come everything you cook is delicious?"
Li Na came in from outside and said with a smile: "What delicious food are you eating? I can smell the delicious food from outside."
Zheng Baozhu handed a pair of chopsticks to Li Na. After eating, Li Na gave Zheng Baozhu a thumbs up and said, "This tastes amazing! Is this the reward you give to the new recruits?"
Zheng Baozhu nodded.
Li Na said, "The new recruits in the first battalion are so lucky! Why did you think of making chicken feet for them?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "When I went back, I saw that chicken feet were cheap, so I bought some."
"If we sell this at the market, it will definitely be sold out."
Zheng Baozhu asked her how the spicy squid shreds were selling recently.
Li Na said: "There are many people selling shredded squid in the market. I specially went to buy some. The taste is similar to mine, but the price is cheaper. I now make a little less every day, otherwise I won't be able to sell it all."
Zheng Baozhu nodded: "When something starts to make money, there will definitely be people who will follow suit. As long as they follow your lead and buy the seasonings and try a few more times, they will be able to make a similar taste."
Li Na was a little discouraged: "Once everyone buys the seasoning and goes home to make it themselves, no one will buy it anymore."
Zheng Baozhu said: "Having an idea can help you keep your business going for a long time."
"What's the idea?"
"Just sell your squid shreds farther away."
Li Na shook her head: "Far, how far can it be? I can't go to the county town just to sell squid strips. By the time I get there, it will be noon."
"Sell it to places farther away, such as Beijing and Haishi."
"That's too far, it's impossible."
“The seafood I cook is now sold in my mother’s store.”
"Of course it's OK to ship dried seafood that far, I make cooked food."
“I also cook cooked food.”
Li Na looked at Zheng Baozhu, trying to tell from her face whether she was joking.
Seeing Zheng Baozhu's serious expression, he asked, "How do you ensure that the food doesn't go bad after such a long journey?"
Zheng Baozhu went to the side room and came back with a few bags of seafood.
Ding Peizhi looked at the seafood curiously: "It is packed tightly, without any gaps. It is not exposed to air, so the food can be preserved for a long time."
Li Na asked: "The packaging machine costs a lot of money, right?"
Zheng Baozhu nodded: "The vacuum packaging machine in the factory costs two to three thousand."
Li Na shook her head and said, "I can't afford it! I only make so little money selling seafood. It's not worth spending two or three thousand to buy a machine."
Zheng Baozhu said: "Mine is a small one, the price is cheaper, two hundred yuan."
“That’s expensive too.”
Zheng Baozhu was not deceiving them because she was talking about the price of the 21st Century vacuum packaging machine.
"The seafood in my mother's store is selling very well. If I do it alone, I may not be able to keep up with the supply. I want to find someone to help me and pay my salary based on the output."
Li Na said: "If you are too busy, I can help you. We are so familiar with each other, so I don't need any payment."
Ding Peizhi also said that she came to help for free.
Zheng Baozhu said, "That won't work. If you don't want to be paid, I will have to find someone else."
The two had no choice but to agree.
Li Na said: "If you can vacuum pack seafood, you can also vacuum pack other foods."
Zheng Baozhu nodded: "The reward for the new recruits is packaged boneless chicken feet."
…
They acted right away. After Li Na and Ding Peizhi agreed to help, they followed Zheng Baozhu to buy seafood from the fishermen.
In order to save trouble when returning, they processed it directly at the beach and brought it back.
Zhao Li saw Li Na carrying two large net bags of seafood and asked, "Didn't you say that squid strips are not selling well, so you changed to selling other seafood?"
Li Na said: "I won't sell any of them."
"Then why do you buy so much seafood?"
"These were bought by Baozhu. I'll help her get them."
After Li Na left, Zhao Li muttered, "She's just good-looking, and everyone helps her with the work."
