Zhao Xiaocao looked at the candy in her hand and smacked her lips, "Mengmeng, you are quite generous. You are given candy and assorted candies."
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "Then Master's Wife should eat more."
Zhao Xiaocao couldn't bear to eat such delicious candy. She put the candy in her pocket and stuffed the basket in her hand to Qi Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, eat these vegetables first, and then come to my place to pick some."
Qi Mengmeng thanked Zhao Xiaocao and wanted to keep her for dinner, but Zhao Xiaocao had to go back to cook for Master Li, so she waved her hand to refuse Qi Mengmeng's kindness.
Qi Mengmeng entered the house carrying a basket of vegetables, which included spinach, tomatoes, leeks, and a cabbage.
She picked out the leeks and prepared to make a bun with leeks, eggs and shrimp skin. She put the rest in the space and could heat one up whenever she wanted to eat it.
Qi Mengmeng first used yeast to knead the dough, then boiled water in a steamer. When the water was hot, she put the basin into the pot so that the fermentation would be faster.
Zhao Xiaocao was very good at taking care of the vegetable garden. The vegetables she brought were very fresh with few weeds. Qi Mengmeng only picked some yellow leaves and put them in water to start washing.
In fact, Zhao Xiaocao told Qi Mengmeng to grow some vegetables at home. Qi Mengmeng had originally planned to do so, but she got home from get off work in the evening every day, and she had to rest at noon, so she really didn't have much time.
Qi Mengmeng had money and no shortage of vegetables to eat, so she simply stopped growing vegetables.
After Zhao Xiaocao said it twice, she knew that Qi Mengmeng really didn't have time and still wanted to help her. Finally, Master Li stopped Zhao Xiaocao.
Although the relationship between the two families seems good, it is not convenient for Zhao Xiaocao to go to Qi Mengmeng's house every day to tend to the vegetable garden.
Anyway, Qi Mengmeng is alone and doesn’t eat much food, so it is enough for their family to give Qi Mengmeng a little every day.
Zhao Xiaocao is a person who listens to advice. After what Master Li said, she no longer persuaded Qi Mengmeng to farm, but instead gave Qi Mengmeng some vegetables from time to time.
In return, Qi Mengmeng would buy things for Zhao Xiaocao from time to time. She even made the most convenient milk bread and red bean bread in modern times.
After Master Li tried the two breads, he immediately reported it. Qi Mengmeng's salary was raised by one level, and the way people in the entire workshop looked at her changed.
No one expected that Qi Mengmeng, who had only been working for a few months, could develop two new types of bread. As soon as these two types of bread came out, they were immediately well received.
It is said that many people went to the department store to queue up to buy these two kinds of bread. For a time, everyone started working overtime to produce bread.
But everyone has a smile on their face. Now that everyone is busy, their salary will be much better.
However, Master Li privately reminded Qi Mengmeng not to tell the recipes of the two breads to anyone else, even if the factory asked for it, because this was a recipe that could be passed down to future generations.
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect Master Li to be so thoughtful, but she really didn't intend to hand over the two prescriptions.
These two recipes are improvements she made based on the popular recipes. The bread is softer, chewier and tastes more fragrant. She is also thinking of opening a cake shop in the future and continuing to sell her cakes.
The factory did want to ask Qi Mengmeng for the recipe later, but Qi Mengmeng said that she made it every day and if someone else took it, there would be no place to make it. In addition, Master Li was there to talk to her, so the recipe was not taken away.
The factory did not force Qi Mengmeng to hand over the recipe. Another reason was Qi Mengmeng's identity. She was a military wife, and most people didn't want to offend her.
Qi Mengmeng's only worry is that when she wants to leave the food factory in the future, the factory will make things difficult for her because of this recipe.
But even if I leave, it will probably take another year or two, so I'll figure out a solution then.
Qi Mengmeng was thinking about something. She washed the leeks in her hands and started cutting them.
She was thinking about something just now, so she washed all the leeks. Now she realized that there were too much, so she cut another piece of meat and prepared to make half of it into leek, egg and shrimp skin, and the other half into leek and meat.
After she had prepared all the meat fillings and the dough had almost risen, she took out the dough and started kneading it.
Since coming here, Qi Mengmeng's bun-making skills have improved. The most important reason is that the buns have a small taste and she can make a lot at one time.
Qi Mengmeng made twenty buns from a pot of bread. Before the whole pot was put down, there were some leeks, eggs and shrimps left. She put them directly into the wok and made them into pies.
She is willing to use oil, so the pie is even more fragrant than the buns.
After the buns were ready, Qi Mengmeng picked up four and put them in a bowl, then took it to Master Li's house so that the two could taste her cooking skills.
Zhao Xiaocao felt very embarrassed. She was worried that Qi Mengmeng had no food to eat at home, but Qi Mengmeng had steamed buns and remembered to serve them to them.
Zhao Xiaocao gave Qi Mengmeng half a bowl of homemade pickles, which she could eat with porridge in the morning.
Qi Mengmeng returned home, made some egg soup, ate two pies with the soup, strolled in the yard for a while, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
Nowadays, although she still has to go to work, the work is not tiring and it is still what she likes to do. Her life is no different from that in modern times.
Qi Mengmeng was looking forward to the next two years when she could take the college entrance examination and open a cake shop. Once everything was on track, she could lie back and enjoy her retirement life.
Now, we can only work hard and live a life under the planned economy.
If people knew what she was thinking, they would definitely roll their eyes. Both she and her husband have jobs, and she can often eat meat. She doesn't know how many people envy her for her life.
In the following days, Qi Mengmeng went to work as usual on weekdays, returned home on Sundays, went to Qi Zhijun's house for dinner, or went to Ye Tao's house to sit.
She learned a lot from Ye Tao and got an alternative understanding of the situation in the family compound.
More than a month later, Zheng Yingying began to dry heave while eating at the dinner table. Le Kangtai quickly helped Zheng Yingying to the toilet. Zheng Meili's expression changed and she followed.
"Yingying, are you pregnant?" Zheng Meili asked in a low voice.
But the room was so small that everyone heard it.
The retching sound in the bathroom stopped for a moment, and then Zheng Yingying opened the door, her voice full of surprise: "Mom, you said I'm pregnant?"
She got pregnant just over a month after getting married?
Zheng Meili looked Zheng Yingying up and down, then pulled her into the house to ask her something.
Qi Zhijun looked at Qi Mengmeng worriedly and whispered, "Mengmeng, I'm leaving in a few days. Your mother is still at work. It's good for you to have a baby later."
Qi Mengmeng knew that Qi Zhijun's words were all words of comfort. She smiled and shook her head: "Dad, I'm fine."
Qi Zhijun looked at Qi Mengmeng carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that she was really fine.
