Qiao Zhiyan had a small meeting with Uncle Guo and Su Chaoqi when he came back in the evening.
"I've thought about it for a long time. It's too much work for me to cook alone, so I need someone to help me."
Uncle Guo immediately said: "I can help you."
"It's not enough," Qiao Zhiyan shook his head, "and it goes against the purpose of the imperial court."
Su Chaoqi pointed at himself in confusion: "My purpose?"
How come she doesn't know what her purpose is.
"If there are only a limited number of people cooking, in the end they will be the only ones who know how to cook. So I suggest dividing everyone into groups, taking turns cooking, and learning how to cook. Otherwise, even if eggs can be given to them, they will not be able to do it. I won’t do it even if I go back.”
Su Chaoqi had no objection. It had nothing to do with her anyway, but Uncle Guo was afraid that it would be hard. After all, with this arrangement, a lot of work would have to be rearranged.
But after a brief thought, Uncle Guo resolutely agreed: "Okay, I will make a new schedule tonight."
"It will be very hard." Su Chaoqi reminded him.
"I was hired back just to help them," Uncle Guo disagreed. "If I don't do it because I want to save trouble, what will they do in the future?"
Su Chaoqi was in awe of this responsibility.
Early the next morning, before everyone went out to farm, Uncle Guo informed them of a meeting in the conference room, and then they were notified of the news.
Although they were a little dissatisfied with their regular lives being disrupted, as soldiers, they were already accustomed to obeying orders, so no one said anything and accepted the arrangement.
But I am still very confused about what I want to do in the future.
After the meeting, others went to farm while others who were selected to learn cooking skills walked into the kitchen confused.
Qiao Zhiyan was already waiting in the kitchen.
He looked at the eight people in front of him, feeling a little nervous in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Su Chaoqi hasn't come yet, and she hasn't gotten up yet. After she gets up, she has to exercise according to her own rules before coming back.
Of course, Qiao Zhiyan alone has no deterrent effect. He is too young to convince the crowd, but it is different with Uncle Guo on the side. At least these people will see Uncle Guo standing aside with a straight face. Sometimes, I can't help but behave a little bit.
"Everyone should also know," Qiao Zhiyan cleared his throat, "The Veterans Management Association is going to restructure. The subsidy to veterans will no longer include medical reimbursement, and will instead be replaced by the payment of money or some food. , but the association doesn’t know how effective this is, so we conduct a pilot here. We also hope that everyone can learn how to cook food, otherwise you will not know how to make food when you receive it in the future.”
After he finished speaking, Uncle Guo yelled: "Do you understand?"
Qiao Zhiyan was startled, but the person in front of him immediately stood upright and shouted in response: "I understand!"
Okay, it's a communication method that he still needs to accept and get used to.
"Then let's start with the simplest one." Qiao Zhiyan ordered five people to come out. "Go and pick up the eggs. Pick them according to the number of people. Each person picks one. Check whether the eggs are broken or not. Is the shell dirty..."
After explaining this, he asked the remaining three people to wash rice and cook porridge. He followed the three of them and told them how much to cook, how to wash the rice, how much water to put in, and how long to cook for.
Because they don't know how to do it, they inevitably look clumsy, and when they become clumsy, they can't help but slow down.
Qiao Zhiyan did not rush them, but patiently waited for them to finish it bit by bit.
After the porridge was cooked, he poured a large amount of cold water into the large iron pot, put the eggs in the steamer, stacked them one layer at a time, and then cooked them over high heat.
"Okay, this is the simplest method," Qiao Zhiyan clapped his hands, "From now on, when you make it at home, just reduce the amount in proportion. Now, one person will be left to watch the fire while the others grow vegetables. and building a chicken coop.”
This is what he thought about yesterday. He would get tired of just eating rice and eggs, no matter how many varieties there are. In this case, he must find a way to add vegetables. At least things like onions, ginger, and garlic must be self-sufficient. If he can still grow them, It’s best to order fruits and vegetables. Many vegetables can be picked within a month after planting, such as lettuce, leeks, and cabbage.
Both of these are things that they are good at doing. They respond to what is said and then consciously allocate work.
Uncle Guo took people to grow vegetables and build chicken coops, and Qiao Zhiyan took the people who stayed behind. Keeping the people who stayed behind was not as simple as just watching the fire. Qiao Zhiyan brought a lot of soybeans, which he wanted to soak. Soybeans, waiting for the soybeans to sprout, and washing the melons and vegetables that Qiao Zhiyan brought.
Before they could be self-sufficient, all the ingredients were taken from Qiao Zhiyan's homestay. Anyway, their family couldn't eat that much food, so they were all stockpiling it. They could still supply it for the time being, but it would definitely not be possible over time.
Su Chaoqi stood at the door and looked at them for a while, then walked in: "Brother Zhiyan."
"Are you up?" Qiao Zhiyan saw her and immediately took out a bowl of steamed eggs from a small steamer in the corner and handed it to her, "It's too late to do anything else in the morning, so you eat this first."
Su Chaoqi had taken a nutritional supplement in the morning and was not hungry at this time, but she did not refuse Qiao Zhiyan's kindness. She took the steamed eggs, poured some soy sauce on them, and ate slowly, bite by Qiao Zhiyan slowly picking soybeans with others, she frowned: "Brother Zhiyan, the menu we listed yesterday doesn't seem to include other ingredients."
The ingredients on the menu they listed yesterday were either eggs or rice, but vegetables were not included.
"Yes, but I have been thinking about it for a long time. Since eggs can be given out, why not vegetables?" Qiao Zhiyan obviously has his own ideas, "Or another way, you can give out corresponding consumption coupons, and then you can buy cooked vegetarian food. You can also buy raw food and cook it yourself when you go back to eat. Anyway, it’s just a pilot now, you can do whatever you want.”
Oh, this is the meal card charging model that Su Chaoqi is very familiar with. It doesn't seem to be impossible. Moreover, Interstellar's express delivery business is developed. Whether it is raw or cooked, it can be delivered to your home. The money only needs to be transferred to a professional account. Just go up.
But is such behavior allowed?Although she knew Qiao Zhiyan's intentions were good.
"Don't worry, I'm measured," Qiao Zhiyan patted her head, "I've also discussed it with Minister Ge. He said that if I think it's a good thing to do, then I'll do it. If it can succeed, how can I achieve it? That’s not something I need to think about.”
There are some things that adults like them have to figure out.
Since that's the case, there's no problem. She said, "Brother Zhiyan, can you help me brew some wine?"
Anyway, he has a lot of people here and everyone has a lot of free time, so he should be able to brew a lot.
Qiao Zhiyan had made wine before, and he made a lot of fruit wine at home, which he kept in the wine cellar. Su Chaoqi made a request at this time, and he agreed after thinking about it: "Okay, do you want to make rice vinegar for you again?" "
"Yes." Su Chaoqi immediately agreed. Anyway, we can't use up the rice now. The people who make rice cakes outside can't consume much due to limited manpower. The rice won't taste good if left for a long time. It's better to use it to make something useful. .
What they didn't know was that Han Zhengzhong also got in touch with Qin Xin because of Mi.
"Mr. Han," Qin Xin smiled and greeted the person on the other side of the video, "Long time no see."
Although the businesses of the two parties are different, they often cooperate and have a lot of contacts. However, Qin Xin is not responsible for connecting with the Han family, so she and Han Zhengzhong have only exchanged contact information.
But they still know each other.
Han Zhengzhong did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Chao Qi recommended me."
"I think so. I wonder what Miss Chaoqi told you?"
"She only said she wanted to build a snack street, but she didn't tell me how to do it."
Qin Xin smiled: "In that case, I will introduce this project to you in detail."
This introduction is not long. After all, the entire project is still in the preparatory stage, and many problems have not yet been encountered. Therefore, Qin Xin's description is full of visible and unbitable pie.
Of course Han Zhengzhong could distinguish the difference between plans and reality, and he would not be fooled by Qin Xin's few words. He directly grasped the key point: "So now we plan to sell it at retail points, right?"
"Yes, that's right, we are still selecting locations and choosing a suitable place to do this project."
"Okay, I understand," Han Zhengzhong agreed without any hesitation, "Let's sign the contract."
He agreed so quickly because he was just a simple supplier. It could be said that there was basically no risk. Not to mention that the snack street hadn’t been established yet and Yuejia hadn’t attracted attention yet. Who would be so idle to stare at it? Yuejia currently has a small business, so this cooperation can be done.
Qin Xin quickly sent the contract: "Oh, by the way, when will Miss Chaoqi come back? We have already made preparations here. We just wait for her to come back and teach the people out so that they can be sold on the streets."
Han Zhengzhong did not answer the question: "You should contact her yourself."
Qin Xin was a little disappointed that she didn't get the information she wanted, but she still smiled and showed nothing on her face.
Han Zhengzhong signed the contract, and then arranged for someone to deliver [-] kilograms of rice in front of Qin Xin.
Qin Xin thought for a while and broadcast the communication to Su Chaoqi.
Su Chaoqi glanced at it and then accepted it.
She was watching Qiao Zhiyan making rice wine. Because it was also the first time for Qiao Zhiyan to make rice wine, she watched from the side to avoid any problems in the details.
"Manager Qin, is something wrong?" Su Chaoqi asked.
Qin Xin said: "Chaoqi, when have you been free recently? We have made arrangements here and are waiting for you to come back for personnel training."
Su Chaoqi looked at the time and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that everything would be ready so soon, but the time for her return had not yet been decided. (End of chapter)
