"Mom, what are you doing?" The three little ones looked at her in confusion.

"I need gray fur to make something. Don't worry, I won't hurt it."

Huihui opened his green eyes: ???

Su Qianqian plucked another handful of hair, and this time Huihui started to run around the room, but Su Qianqian stopped plucking. She put the hair on the table and studied it.

Down jackets only require duck down, but the amount of duck down is too small.

And she looked at what was on the table and saw what could only be called duck feathers, not duck down.

"Da Ya, Er Bao, San Ya."

"Mom, please give me your instructions!" The three little ones stood at attention.

"You should observe this box more often in the future and collect all the hairs that fall from the gray, no matter how big or small they are."

"receive!"

Even though they didn't know what to do, they would definitely follow their mother's instructions.

Cheng Yue asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Keep it a secret for now, we'll know later." She thought that the first down jacket could be made for Cheng Yue first. After all, he is a walking clothes rack, and even if the style is ugly, it will not affect his appearance.

"Okay, how was work in the cafeteria today?"

"It's pretty good. They all take good care of me and are very supportive. They like the food I cook." Su Qianqian said proudly, feeling an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Before going to bed at night, Cheng Yue was very self-conscious and did not mention any exercise. Instead, he helped Su Qianqian massage her arms. It must be a bit tiring to cook today, the first day of cooking.

"Do you think my arm will become thicker if I stir the spoon for so long? Will it look ugly?" She thought the scene was a bit eye-catching.

Cheng Yue laughed, "Not really. Besides, you have to use your other hand as well. There may be some slight differences, but they won't be that obvious. Don't worry."

It seemed to make sense, so she felt relieved.

…

Since many people did not have the chance to eat stir-fried pork with peppers and stir-fried eggplant yesterday, some people got up early today just to have them.

However, today Su Qianqian did not make these two dishes. Instead, she changed the style. She fried some spicy and sour potato shreds and some black fungus meatballs. She deliberately made a little more portion so that they would not be snatched up too quickly.

Captain Zhao also put up a sign that read: Limited to one per person.

Today's side dishes are still free to taste, mainly because too many people didn't get to eat them yesterday. Only when enough people have tasted them will we be able to charge more for them later.

However, everyone doesn’t know that wood ear meatballs and spicy and sour potato shreds are different. They can only tell them apart after eating them, and then quickly ask people they are on good terms with to order these two dishes.

First come, first served.

Even though the portion size increased, it still ran out quickly because more people came early.

"Why is it gone again? Every time it's just one step short!" Someone sighed, looking frustrated.

"A little more serving!"

"You need a balanced diet, how can you only eat one or two dishes? We'll see tomorrow." Captain Zhao said perfunctorily.

When there were fewer people in the cafeteria, everyone started to clean up.

"Captain Zhao, we're going to charge for these side dishes tomorrow. A small portion is 20 cents, and a large portion is 50 cents." She took out two plates. The small one was very small, while the large one looked more presentable.

"Okay, I'll make a record of it tomorrow."

Once the charges started, Su Qianqian would increase the supply. At the same time, she was not in a hurry to leave, but started to pickle the radishes and cabbages she had asked them to buy before.

In this way, costs can be reduced, otherwise it would be a bit of a loss to only take 30%.

At noon on the third day, there were more people arriving early, and they all rushed forward as fast as they could, thinking about arriving earlier and buying the food they wanted earlier.

“Give me one portion of each of these dishes.” The person who initially purchased the food didn’t know which two were special, so he could only buy them all and try them one by one.

After tasting them all, he found that something was wrong. Very wrong. None of the dishes tasted the way he wanted.

He looked at others and found that they had the same question.

Someone couldn't help but go to the window and ask, "Why isn't that, that particularly delicious dish available today?" They didn't know how to describe it, but they all knew that there were two dishes that were particularly delicious.

"The new chef will be away at noon, but will be there for dinner." Captain Zhao said calmly.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but wail!

I finally got up early today, why isn't he here? Why isn't he here?

"Are you going to cook dinner from now on?"

"No, it depends on the new chef's schedule. Sometimes it's lunch, sometimes it's dinner."

!!! It's not fixed yet!

That means you have to go to the cafeteria for every meal, otherwise you’d easily miss it.

However, they soon discovered one thing, that is, if they had eaten at noon, then there was no need to come for dinner, because dinner would definitely not be there, and the new chef would only cook one meal.

"Have you met the new chef?"

They all shook their heads and said they had never seen it.

"This new chef's cooking skills are so good. I was lucky enough to get to taste his food on the first day. There are many people who haven't even had the chance to taste his food."

There are so many people in the entire base, but only a few get to eat.

"I really want to see the new chef. If I get along well with him, can I eat here from now on?"

"Yes! This is a good idea, but how can we get along well with him?"

"When we have food, we will wait outside the cafeteria entrance. I think we will be able to wait for it eventually, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'll be guarding the door on the day we have a break."

Several people made this decision after discussing it.

…

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Qianqian came to the cafeteria.

"Sister, according to your instructions, the ducks have been killed, four in total."

"Thank you, Xiao Qi." Su Qianqian looked at the slaughtered duck, which had been cleaned of all its feathers.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. We have also prepared the beer you asked us to prepare. This thing is not easy to make."

Beer was a rare thing in those days and most people couldn't drink it at all. Fortunately, it was a base and there were still supplies.

"Okay, I'll show you my skills today. When I'm done, keep some for yourself, or they'll be gone in no time."

"Okay, sister!"

Everyone was looking forward to it and one could even hear the sound of slurping saliva.

You need a lot of patience to cook this kind of hard dish. The duck meat needs to be stewed until it is soft and tasty. The degree is difficult to control, and the duck meat also needs to have no fishy smell.

After preparing all the preliminary work, she started to fry the duck meat. Star anise, pepper, cinnamon and bay leaves are indispensable. When it is almost done, pour in beer, almost covering half of the duck meat, then cover the pot and simmer it slowly until it is well-flavored.

"What a nice smell! It smells so nice!" Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"This is beer duck. You can try it when it's out of the pot."

"I'll cook another vegetarian dish."

The vegetarian dish is stir-fried spinach with rattan. First, cook the rattan and then fry it. Then add the blanched spinach and stir-fry. A big pot of green stir-fried spinach with rattan is ready.

"It's almost time, the duck meat is ready." After collecting the sauce, she took out a piece for them to taste.

"It's a little hot, little..."
