The next day, Jia Dongsheng came to the factory early and did not lie down at home for a long time. There was no other way. Vegetarian meat was the basis of making dumplings, and he had to make it today.
Although there is no rush to make the fillings for the 500,000 dumplings needed for the entire steel rolling mill, it is not easy to learn from the hundred or so people about how to make the fillings.
Most of the people who come here to exchange and learn are from the north, and dumplings occupy an important position in the northerners' dietary concepts.
In the north, if one person eats dumplings for a meal, he or she will need at least sixty or seventy dumplings. If there are a hundred people, that means at least ten thousand dumplings.
What's more, Fang Zhuo assigned the task of making these ten thousand dumplings to Canteen No. 1.
In other words, Jia Dongsheng and the people in Canteen No. 1 need to make all 10,000 dumplings within two days without delaying their main work.
This is not easy.
To make dumplings, you can’t just take the filling and start making them. You have to knead the dough first, then chop the filling, season the filling, and finally roll out the dumpling wrappers before you can make dumplings.
Therefore, this task is not easy, and Jia Dongsheng probably has no time to slack off in the last two days.
When we arrived at the steel mill, the people from the kitchen were also there.
Jia Dongsheng took the rolling pin and knocked it on the chopping board a few times.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused, he cleared his throat and said, "Director Fang gave me a task yesterday. Let me tell you about it."
"What mission, Master?"
As soon as he got to this point, Liu Lan started asking questions.
"Brothers and sisters from other steel mills who came to our factory for exchanges and learning are about to leave. As the saying goes, you get dumplings when you get off."
Jia Dongsheng spoke calmly, "When they arrived, our No. 1 canteen made them noodles. Now that they're leaving, of course we'll have to make them dumplings too. I wish them a safe journey."
"Making dumplings?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire kitchen was shocked, and their expression was exactly the same as the one Jia Dongsheng had when he heard Fang Zhuo talk about this yesterday.
There is nothing nowadays, what can we use to make dumplings?
"Old Jia, Director Fang has prepared the fillings for us. What kind of meat should we use to make the dumplings?"
"Pork, maybe? I see there are some green onions in the warehouse. I'll make some dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions. I'm sure the people at Brother Steel Plant will like them."
"I think you'd like to eat pork and green onion dumplings. How much meat would that require? We don't have that much meat in the factory."
"The one with pork and cabbage?"
"That's possible. If you put less meat and more cabbage, it can be done."
“…”
Listening to everyone's discussion, Jia Dongsheng knocked the chopping board with his rolling pin again and said loudly, "Be quiet."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
"Hear me out."
Jia Dongsheng glanced around and continued, "This time, the dumplings are made with vegetarian meat and cabbage filling."
"Meatless meat?"
As soon as this word came out, a group of people looked at him with confusion, but no one spoke again, waiting for Jia Dongsheng to finish his words.
Pleased with everyone's attitude, Jia Dongsheng nodded and said, "Pork is totally unavailable right now, but we still need to make dumplings, so I suggested to Director Fang that we use vegetarian meat."
“As for what is vegetarian meat?”
He paused briefly, giving everyone time to react, before saying, "It's very simple. Use tofu to create the taste and texture of meat, and use it instead of meat to make dumplings."
These words completely shocked the kitchen staff.
Can meat be made with anything else?
Not to mention eating it, I've never even heard of it.
Among them, Nan Yi had an excited expression on his face, and his desire for unknown delicacies made Jia Dongsheng feel a little sick.
There's no way around it. Anyone would feel uncomfortable when facing a grown man looking at you with longing eyes.
So, the best way is to turn around and ignore him.
"I'll make the vegetarian meat, but you guys have to make the noodles. As for the division of labor..."
He pondered for a moment, looked at Qin Huairu, Nan Yi, and Liu Lan, and smiled slightly: "Liu Lan, knead the dough and roll out the dumpling wrappers. You take the lead."
"As for chopping the stuffing, sister-in-law, you can bring the kitchen helpers and the chopping board to do it. Finally, we will make the vegetarian meat."
In order to be able to be lazy, he turned his eyes to Nan Yi: "Nan Yi, I will teach you while I do it."
"Great! I'm willing to learn."
Nan Yi has a special obsession with cooking. When he heard what Jia Dongsheng said, he almost jumped up with joy.
"Don't be happy too soon."
Jia Dongsheng gave him a shot of warning: "Once you learn it, there are still 500,000 vegetarian dumplings that need you to prepare."
"Five hundred thousand dumplings with vegetarian meat filling, what does that mean?"
Not to mention Nan Yi, the others were also a little confused. There were only about a hundred people. Even if they were big eaters, they couldn't eat 500,000 dumplings, right?
"Don't get me wrong, it's like this..."
Then, Jia Dongsheng told everyone that all the workers in the factory had to eat dumplings, and only then did they understand.
But, although I understand it, I feel a little complicated.
Where is the complexity?
All the workers in the factory were eating dumplings, including them, so they were of course happy to be able to eat dumplings.
But, the job of making dumplings is also theirs, so their mood is not very good.
Dumplings are delicious but difficult to make. The more you make, the harder it becomes.
Jia Dongsheng didn't tell them that they didn't need to fill one cafeteria to prepare 500,000 dumplings. He would tell them when they really started preparing and give them a little surprise.
Not long after he finished giving the instructions, Yan Jiecheng appeared in the kitchen.
"Brother Dong, the tofu you needed for Canteen No. 1 has been purchased. Where is it being unloaded?"
"Just send it to the cafeteria. It will be ready soon."
"Okay, I'll move it right away."
There was quite a bit of tofu, twenty squares of tofu, one meter by one meter in size, all fresh from the pot, still steaming.
"This tofu is good, suitable for making vegetarian meat." Jia Dongsheng patted the tofu, looked at the tender and trembling tofu, and praised it.
"Brother Dong, how do you make this vegetarian meat?"
Unexpectedly, Nan Yi came closer with a smile on his face, his eyes still shining.
It was incredible that vegetarian meat could be made with tofu to have the texture and taste of meat. He was very interested in it.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you right away. You have a heavy task ahead of you."
Patting Nan Yi on the shoulder, Jia Dongsheng smiled and said that all the vegetarian meat filling for the 500,000 dumplings would be given to Nan Yi.
A qualified leader must learn to be lazy, but how to be lazy?
You need to learn to let your subordinates help you get the job done.
Otherwise, if you do everything yourself, what will your subordinates do?
Do you enjoy the fruits of your labor after a job well done?
Then who is the leader and who is the subordinate?
