Chapter 122 Training of Talents The remaining work is actually very simple. Just connect the sewage pipe, install the squat toilet, and lay the bathroom floor tiles, and you're done. Yes! And floor tiles. This was the first time in Zhoujiazhuang, however, the villagers thought it was natural and no one felt it was wrong. At noon, Zhou Yimin cooked Wuchang rice. Zhou Zhiming and other people who built houses still ate sorghum rice. As for the dishes, Zhou Yimin made braised pork, which was amber in color, soft and not greasy, and almost melted in the mouth. For everyone, it is simply a delicacy. As usual, Zhou Zhiming and others were given two pieces each, as well as a spoonful of potatoes as a dish, and their mouths were full of oil. Today, everyone ate very slowly. Because they know that starting tomorrow, they will not be able to eat this kind of food. Starting tomorrow, they will also have to go to the village canteen and eat sweet potatoes with everyone, which makes them feel a little disappointed. Zhou Yimin asked the boy who was burning the fire to come to eat more, even though he had no credit, he had worked hard.
Luo Dapeng hasn't gone back yet and is also eating here. "Yimin, your cooking skills are really good, no worse than those chefs in restaurants." Luo Dapeng said. Since he started hanging out with Zhou Yimin, he has been to the restaurant three or five times. He is familiar with the quality of the dishes in the restaurant. He can also judge the quality of Zhou Yimin's braised pork. Zhou Yimin smiled and said that he learned this from watching those food videos in later generations. After traveling back in time, he gradually discovered that his memory in this life had become very good, and many of the things he had seen in his previous life could be replayed in his mind like a movie. It was because of this that he was able to build the water pressure well, solar cooker, etc. "Indeed, Yimin's cooking skills are really good, better than those in the restaurant." Zhou Xuqiang also nodded. There have been many free meals here recently, and he feels that he has gained some weight. In this age of hunger, his family is the only one like this, right? The old man laughed and scolded: "Have you ever eaten in a restaurant?" However, the two elders were still happy. They love to hear anything that praises their grandchildren. At the same time, she cursed her son Zhou Xuhua in her heart. It was obvious that the guy rarely cooked for their good grandson before, and his cooking skills were forced out. Third Aunt had high expectations for Lai Cai. Yimin liked to bring the boy along when cooking, and sometimes she would tell him some tips, not just how to light the fire. When she saw that scene, she knew that Yimin was teaching her the cooking skills. In this era, being a cook is a good profession! Many people envy it. It is said that even in years of disaster there will not be a single cook starving. However, it is also in this new era that various low-level occupations are no longer discriminated against. Instead, labor is emphasized to be glorious, and occupations like cooks are envied. You know, in ancient times, the status of cooks was very low. It is called a "low-ninth-class" profession. Just think about it, how good can it be? On the one hand, the ruling class says, "Food is the first necessity of the people" and pursues "never tire of fine food", but on the other hand, they pretend to be polite and say, "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen." Ancient dignitaries and literati have written countless articles about food, but there are very few written records about the chefs themselves.
In the old days, people became chefs only because they had to make a living. Therefore, most of the people who worked as chefs in the old days were poor working people with low education and low social status. Their main purpose was to provide services for the ruling class's extravagant lifestyle. In the past, people called chefs "firemen", "cooks", "cookers", etc. From these titles, one can imagine how low the status of chefs was. In fact, it’s not just cooks, there are also craftsmen, etc., who are only slightly better than slaves. But nowadays, craftsmen are considered skilled workers and a very popular profession. Most people cannot learn it even if they want to! "Laicai, learn more from your big brother in the future." Auntie San's words made the old man and others look over. Others did not see Zhou Yimin teaching Laicai how to cook, so they had this reaction. Laicai nodded: "Brother, teach me how to make braised pork today!" "Yimin, you..." Third uncle Zhou Xuqiang didn't know what to say. Zhou Yimin said calmly, "I saw that he has a hobby in this area, so I mentioned it to him. Let's see in a few years! If he likes it, I will find him a master and let him practice well. Learning to cook is very hard." In fact, Zhou Yimin would be happy if he could train a chef. In the future, he wouldn't have to cook by himself and could just bring back the ingredients and wait to eat. The nephew's last words were ignored by Zhou Xuqiang and his wife. They only remember the previous words and come to find a master to learn cooking. This is great! If you have a cook at home, you won’t have to worry about going hungry even in years of famine. Zhou Xuqiang and his wife were very happy, and the look they gave them showed a bit of hope that their son would become successful. After eating, Luo Dapeng returned to the city. In the afternoon, Zhou Zhiming and his team officially started to build the incubator. Because the incubator was not big, they tried to finish it in one afternoon. Zhou Yimin gave instructions on the side, such as where to place the ventilation holes. "Will these racks be used to hatch eggs in the future?" someone asked. Many people were curious and came to watch. It was a bit incredible for the people in Zhoujiazhuang that there was no need for a hen to hatch chicks. Zhou Yimin nodded: "Yes! Pipes will be laid around the inside, and water vapor can flow through the pipes. The water vapor can provide heat, so that the temperature in the house reaches the hens..." He explained it to everyone again, regardless of whether they could understand it or not. Outside, a stove is built to boil water, and the water pot is connected to a pipe. The water vapor flows through the pipe, and when it reaches the end, the water vapor in the pipe condenses into water and returns to the pot. This is a circulatory system, which can be called the high end or the low end. To put it simply, it means boiling water. But even in a nuclear power plant, such a high-tech place, doesn’t it also boil water? However, Zhou Yimin's method seemed very crude. He just used it to hatch eggs and did not ask for anything else. If it were made more sophisticated, it could even be a small thermal power plant. That would be interesting.
In fact, adding a generator set will generate thermal power. Don't think of a power station as too complicated, generating electricity is not difficult. To be honest, if Zhoujiazhuang really can't get electricity in the future, he really considers setting up a power generation device in the village. Without electricity, many things cannot be done. By the evening, they finally managed to get the hatchery ready. Zhou Yimin plans to bring the eggs back tomorrow and start hatching chicks. The villagers were looking forward to this. They had all heard about Yimin's plan to make the whole Zhoujiazhuang rich, so how could they not care? I owed three chapters yesterday, I will try my best to make up for it! (End of this chapter)
