Chapter 92 Ding Guo looked at the jujube tree in the yard, which was bright red...
Exchange and learning is not about sharing recipes. Zhang Cuifang called everyone together. In addition to talking about things that need to be paid attention to during tomorrow's visit, she also reminded everyone not to be tricked by other factory employees. They should know what to say and what not to say, and not to be foolish enough to reveal the production methods of their own products to others.
But people are selfish. They want to keep their own things secret and dig deeper into other people's things. If they can take the opportunity to figure out something real or imitate the other party's product, the factory will reward them.
It is estimated that all manufacturers who come to participate in the exchange and learning have this mentality, so we have to make good reminders and be careful with their words when chatting with people.
"When we went shopping today, we went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look at the local pastries in the capital, and we had never seen many of them before," said Zheng Guihong.
But I didn’t buy it to try it, so I don’t know how it tastes.
Feng Lan, who lives in the room next to them, said, "There are some cakes that are similar to ours, such as peach cakes and egg cakes, but the color is a little different from what we make, and the taste is unclear."
"Two kinds of peach cakes!" Meng Duodi raised her hand and said, "One is similar to ours, and the other one they added black sesame seeds. I don't know if it tastes good, but it looks very good. I think this one is simple, and we can also make one with black sesame seeds later."
Zhang Cuifang listened carefully, nodded and said: "You can adopt it. Go back and make some samples to taste and see if it is more fragrant than without adding..."
She wanted to hear Ding Guo's findings, but Ding Guo didn't find anything. She said embarrassedly, "I went to visit an elder this afternoon and didn't go shopping with Sister Guihong and the others."
Zhang Cuifang was surprised that Ding Guo actually knew someone in the capital. Although she was curious, she did not ask any more questions. However, Su Dayong, who had been listening without interrupting, was shocked. He immediately thought of the Pan family. Did Ding Guo visit the Pan family? Did he reconcile with the Pan family?
Qi Guangming would be really upset if he knew about this. Others had a fight and ended up being relatives, but he was thrown into jail. Some cases have been resolved, while others have not been fully investigated, but one has already been sentenced to death.
But since there were other people around, he didn't feel comfortable asking more questions.
After the meeting, everyone excitedly talked about what they had seen and heard that day, asked about the arrangements for the next few days, and discussed when they could visit the Great Wall.
"It's a rare opportunity to come here. Maybe this is the only time I'll come to the capital in my lifetime. I have to visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other places."
"That's right, I can't bear to eat the roast duck, but I can't have fun?"
Everyone chatted for more than an hour before dispersing.
Back in the dormitory, Ding Guo lay on the bed and chatted with the system.
I don’t know what nerve she has touched in the Ding family. The background data is scrolling quite violently tonight, and new characters have been added, Pan Yuanzheng and Zhang Shuhua.
"Why did Pan Dingfeng's parents' names just appear?" Ding Guo asked suspiciously, "Are they not starting to feel depressed because of me today?"
System: "We just met today, so a one-sided meeting counts."
Ding Guo understood that in order to create internal friction among the characters in the book who were closely involved with the original owner, they needed to be "activated" first. The way to activate them was to meet them once, whether she saw Pan's father and mother, or the other party saw her, the psychological activities caused by her would appear in her background.
"What a huge loss!" Ding Guo felt very sorry. The couple's deepest resentment towards her was probably not about tonight, but about the unexpected changes in their family not long ago.
"Haozi, you should have told me earlier about the way your system is used. If you had known, I would have waited at the door for three to five days when I came to the capital last time, and met these two people once." Ding Guo felt distressed.
Haozi didn't have such a roundabout idea, and said calmly: "The contribution of these two tonight is not small."
The names appeared abnormally frequently. At this rate, the couple from the Pan family alone could contribute 1,000 to 2,000 points to her in one night.
Including several people from the Ding family, it is not a problem to earn three or four thousand yuan a night, which is thirty or forty yuan in RMB, which is higher than her monthly salary.
I was communicating with Haozi in my mind and I didn't miss a few of my roommates' words. I would add a sentence from time to time. As we chatted, I became sleepy and gradually became quiet.
Ding Guo also yawned, pulled the quilt around him, turned over, and fell asleep.
The next morning, before six o'clock, Zhang Yueju, who was sleeping on Ding Guo's left, woke up. She got up quietly, opened the door quietly and went out to wash.
When Ding Guo heard the door opening, he opened his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he realized that he was not at home, but staying in a guesthouse in the capital.
After a while, Zhang Yueju came back. Ding Guo greeted her quietly, put on her clothes, took her toiletries, opened the door and went out. After entering the toilet, she found that there was no one in the other partitions. She slipped into the space, squatted on the toilet for a while, went out to fetch well water to wash, and from time to time observed the situation outside and listened to the movements outside.
He slipped out when he thought the time was almost up.
The other two roommates were still asleep. Zhang Yueju took out the sweater and knitting needles she brought from Fengning and started knitting. Ding Guo whispered, "I'm going to go out for a walk and exercise."
Zhang Yueju: "Gather for breakfast at 7 o'clock, don't delay."
"Know!"
Ding Guo went out, randomly chose a direction, ran forward along the street in front of the guesthouse for a while, stopped at an alley, found a blind spot, slipped into the space, started running around in circles in the space, sweating profusely, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into dried clothes, sat in the pavilion and ate half a full meal with steamed buns and Kung Pao Chicken, then lay on a recliner and read a book.
It was not yet six o'clock when she went out. They would gather at seven o'clock and could stay in the space for two hours, which was enough time for her to exercise, take a shower, eat breakfast, and dry her hair.
The time was almost up. Ding Guo looked outside and made sure that there was no one there. Then he slipped out and walked back slowly.
Zhang Cuifang gathered everyone together, took their work clothes, went to a nearby state-owned restaurant for dinner, and then went directly to Food Factory No. 1 after dinner.
The factory reimbursed my food and lodging on this trip, but it was based on the lowest standard, so breakfast was millet porridge, steamed buns and pickles.
Ding Guo had eaten a meal in the space before, and now he followed the crowd and ate a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge with pickles.
After dinner, led by Su Dayong, the group strolled towards Capital Food Factory No. 1.
We will start with a tour today and the exchange meeting will officially begin tomorrow.
Before the visit, the person in charge of receiving them from Factory 1 took everyone to change into work clothes and did some cleaning before taking them into the workshop.
The pastry processing procedures are basically the same, but the Capital Food Factory's workshop is more spacious and brighter, and the production line is more advanced, especially the row of ovens of different models. No one can understand the words printed on them, but they are imported from abroad anyway.
The number of trucks entering the factory to transport goods is also greater than that of their factory.
When someone came in to visit, most of the busy workers just took a curious look and then turned back to their work. A few of them murmured. Ding Guo had sharp ears and vaguely heard someone whisper, "You're from a small place!"
Ding Guo couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Fengning is indeed not a big city, but it is not a small place either.
Some people also saw them deliberately adjusting the angle of their standing when they came, as if they were very reluctant to have outsiders visit them.
It would be uneconomical to focus on these small details at this time. Ding Guo glanced at them lightly and then focused on the operating techniques of the workshop workers and the various raw materials on the production line.
When Zhang Yueju and the others first came in, they were a little nervous and couldn't stretch their limbs, but they became fascinated as they watched.
In addition to the visit, they also tasted the pastries such as jujube flower pastries, almond pastries, peach pastries, wedding cakes, red bean pastries, donkey rolls, various breads, etc. that were being produced in various workshops.
During this period, we encountered two or three groups of visitors. The workers just greeted each other out of curiosity and did not communicate much. However, the leaders of several groups came over to get to know each other and had a brief chat.
After walking around the factory for the whole morning and having lunch in the cafeteria, the group left the food factory and walked towards the guesthouse, discussing as they walked.
"The peach cakes from their factory taste crispier and can be easily bitten off with just a slight touch of teeth. They are oilier than the peach cakes from our factory, but the sweetness is similar to that of our factory." said a female worker named Zheng Cui.
"Yes, yes, yes. The color is also lighter than our peach cakes. Is it because they shortened the baking time?" another female worker agreed. "Anyway, I think the taste is better than our peach cakes."
"Hey, have you noticed that the crust of the red bean pastry produced by their factory tastes a bit like the crust of the mooncakes produced by our factory after we modified the formula? But the crust of the mooncakes produced by our factory after we changed the formula tastes better than the crust of the red bean pastry produced by their factory."
"Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to say just now, Ding Guo..." The female worker who spoke looked at Ding Guo, "The crust formula of the mooncakes was optimized by you."
"Yes, yes, Ding Guo, you can say something too." Everyone looked at Ding Guo and laughed.
"Anyway, we think the improved mooncake crust is delicious, you are awesome!" A female worker smiled and gave Ding Guo a thumbs up.
Ding Guo's face was slightly flushed by the praise, and he quickly changed the subject with a smile, saying, "We can also add more shortbreads with various fillings when we go back, and use the same recipe for mooncake skin for the skin. But now we should strike while the iron is hot and quickly exchange ideas about their products to deepen our memory. When we go back, we will see if we can combine the advantages and disadvantages of their products to improve the advantages and disadvantages of our products."
Zhang Cuifang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we all know how good Comrade Xiao Ding is. You can praise him anytime. Let's continue chatting. Let me talk about their wedding cake. I think it's not difficult to replicate. They must have added milk when kneading the dough. I tasted it. And the filling..."
"And the fruit bread, I think we can also think about it." Zheng Guihong said.
Everyone was in high spirits, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. I didn't pay attention to the road, and when I passed a small intersection, I was almost hit by two bicycles rushing out from the left.
One of the young men in military uniform hurriedly said "I'm sorry" and asked, "Ladies, please tell me, have you seen a young man wearing a blue jacket and military green pants on the road? He is about 1.8 meters tall and may behave a little strangely. He is a mentally retarded child."
The two female workers were so frightened that they had no time to complain. They heard the cyclist asking around and realized that they were in a hurry to find someone. They didn't complain and just looked at each other: "I... didn't notice."
Everyone was chatting so enthusiastically that they didn't even notice the people passing by on the road.
There were some people who were watching the road. One female worker said confidently, "We walked all the way from Food Factory 1 and didn't see the person you mentioned."
Some curious people also asked, "How did your child get lost?"
The young man who asked the question said, "It was a wedding at home, and it was so noisy that I didn't notice the person and he disappeared. I won't say much. Thank you. I almost bumped into someone just now. I'm really sorry..."
Marriage, intellectually deficient children... Ding Guo raised his eyebrows slightly. Ding Nianjun wouldn't get married today, would he? Didn't the Ding family come here yesterday?
If it is really Ding Nianjun, then the missing person must be the big brother Pan Dingfeng.
But this was none of her business, and the others didn't talk much about this topic. They continued walking and talking about their impressions of today's visit.
There were no other tasks in the afternoon, so everyone planned to go out and play. Ding Guo felt embarrassed and left the group, taking a bus to his own courtyard.
This time there was no cleaning work on the system side, and the yard was covered with a layer of fallen leaves and some scattered dates.
Ding Guo looked at the jujube tree in the yard. The branches were full of red dates, and they were just as ripe as ever.
Ding Guo went over and found a few edible dates on the ground. She picked them up, wiped them, and took a bite. The sweet date flesh was rolled into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
“Not bad.”
Ding Guo didn't know what kind of dates these were. They were longer than winter dates. Dates of this shape were mostly eaten dry, soaked in water, or cooked into porridge. He had never eaten them fresh.
In my previous life, I ate more winter dates, which were crisper and had a softer flesh.
The flesh of this type of date is firmer, but its sweetness is no less than that of the winter date.
"tasty!"
Ding Guo deftly cleared the ground under the tree, and luxuriously bought a pile of sacks from the system mall and spread them on the ground. Then, she exerted her great strength, hugged the jujube tree and began to shake it.
It takes some effort for ordinary people to shake a jujube tree that is as thick as a bowl, but it is not difficult at all for Ding Guo. If she wants to, she can even pull out the jujube tree.
The dates fell with a crackling sound onto the covered sack.
Not all of the Ding fruits fell down, and a few were still hanging on the branches.
Gather the dates together and put them into a sack, then sew a cloth bag into it. When you go to Pei's house next time, bring some dates to Old Man Pei.
Pei Che was still thinking about the jujube tree in her yard, but he obviously couldn't come back.
Forget about mailing it. By the time it reaches Pei Che, the dates will have rotted. I will go back and buy some dried dates and mail them to him to sweeten his mouth.
He went into the space, washed a plate, and ate a dozen or so with a crunch. After satisfying his craving, he stepped out, rolled up his sleeves, and started cleaning.
Although I won't be staying here for a few days, it would be inappropriate not to clean the place after my visit.
When she returned to the guesthouse in the evening, she heard someone calling her, "Comrade Ding!" as soon as she entered the door.
Ding Guo turned around and saw that it was Xiao He, the guard beside Mr. Pei.
Xiao He saluted her and said, "Comrade Ding, the commander asked me to pick you up and take you home for dinner."
