Chapter 488: Making Use of the Oven

Because Jia Dongxu went into a small alley and was arrested, Jia Zhangshi's plan to take over the job failed.

Now even the people pulling the manure carts are too lazy to go.

This made Qin Huairu feel that there was no hope and she was unlikely to be able to survive.

If the Jia family really starved, Qin Huairu planned to avoid Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu and quietly bring Banggeng back to Qinjiazhuang.

Although it is somewhat embarrassing to return to the village, it is better than starving to death in the city.

......

Early the next morning.

Chen Jun arrived at the cafeteria on time, took a quick look, and found that a handyman was already cleaning.

Sha Zhu and Liu Lan were chatting and laughing while wiping the table. When they saw Chen Jun coming, they greeted him warmly.

Chen Jun nodded and waved to Sha Zhu.

"The engineers from Mao Xiong have left the steel mill. It's a waste to leave the ovens we built idle. I plan to use them to make some bread and desserts."

"After you finish cooking the big pot at noon, come over and learn. You have to remember the ingredients, proportions and steps."

Toast?

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Other people in the factory may not have tasted the bread, but the people in the kitchen know it very well.

The bread made by Chen Jun not only has a great texture, but also tastes great, with sweetness and milky flavor.

Nowadays, both sweet and milky flavors are considered a very luxurious taste.

Chen Jun was actually willing to teach him how to make bread, and even planned to sell it in the cafeteria.

"Is this true? Is this something I can learn?" Sha Zhu pointed at himself excitedly and even stuttered when he spoke.

Once you learn this, even if you don’t work in a factory anymore, you can still make bread at home and sell it. It’s a skill that can make a living.

Chen Jun nodded: "Don't get excited yet, it's not just you, Master Li and Master Liu will also learn together."

"Bread is actually not complicated. Let's make some today and sell them in the cafeteria to see how it goes. If the sales are good, we will bake some in each cafeteria in the future."

Although the food in the cafeteria changes frequently, there are only a few things that change. Chen Jun plans to increase the diversity of the dishes to make the cafeteria more diverse.

"Hey, I will definitely study hard!" Sha Zhu nodded vigorously, his eyes full of gratitude.

At twelve o'clock noon, Liu Haizhong came to Canteen No. 1 leisurely with his lunch box.

Given his current relationship with Chen Jun and Sha Zhu, it is most cost-effective for him to come to Canteen No. 1 to get food, as he can get more each time.

But today was a little different. As Liu Haizhong stepped into the cafeteria, he couldn't help sniffing.

Ok?

What a rich flavor, it smells so good.

This fragrance is different from the smell of food, mixed with a hint of sweetness.

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and couldn't help but look towards the food window.

I saw that the food window that usually had a long queue now had only a few people in line, while the window on the other side had a long queue.

Liu Haizhong was a little confused, and quickly pulled a familiar blacksmith to ask curiously, "Is there anything new in the cafeteria today?"

The last time there was a similar situation, the canteen made vegetable steamed bread. Considering the fragrance in the air, Liu Haizhong could almost conclude that the canteen had come up with something new again.

"Yes, there is bread in the cafeteria today. It smells so good!"

"Bread? What is that?" Liu Haizhong was a little confused and asked, "What is this? A steamed bun?"

To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of bread since I was a child.

"Hey, I just found out about this too. It's said that this is something that only Russian engineers can eat. I heard that it tastes really good." The blacksmith said excitedly, "It was used for entertaining before, but now that the Russian engineers have left, the cafeteria is selling it. I heard that it's only 20 cents!"

"I just heard someone say that if you buy this kind of bread in a Western restaurant, it would cost at least one yuan."

The foreign restaurant he was referring to was the Lao Mo Restaurant in the old city. People who went there to eat were either rich or noble, and a meal there would cost an average person more than half a month's salary.

To entertain the bear people?

Nowadays, anything with foreigners added to it will seem high-end and rare.

Gee!

I never thought that one day, Old Liu would be able to eat the food specially prepared for entertaining guests!

Liu Haizhong pursed his lips and ran excitedly towards the long queue, intending to spend two cents to try the taste, and if it was delicious, he would buy another one.

But before he could run to the back of the team, he heard a female voice coming from the window.

"Don't queue up, today's gold brick bread has been sold out. If you want to eat it, come early tomorrow."

After shouting this, the window worker left with a large bamboo basket.

"What the hell?? It's sold out already? I waited for four or five minutes!!"

"No, why is it just this much? Why doesn't the cafeteria make more?"

"Hey, who told you to be late? I ran over to line up as soon as the bell rang. Hey, you know what, this stuff smells really good. It even smells like milk. It's worthy of being used to entertain foreigners."

"What the hell? Break some off for me to taste."

"Go, go, go. If you want to eat, come early tomorrow."

"I heard that Director Chen baked it himself. Director Chen is really amazing. He is good at cooking and researching gadgets."

"Hey, do you really need to talk nonsense? I brought a friend to the cafeteria a few days ago and he almost cried because he said our cafeteria is so delicious and their factory cafeteria is just feeding pigs."

Liu Haizhong looked at the long line in a daze, and suddenly found Xu Damao walking towards him from the front of the line, shaking his head.

"Xu Damao, how did you buy it?"

Xu Damao grinned and said proudly, "I knew there was something new in the cafeteria, so I came before the bell rang."

After saying that, Xu Damao took a bite of the bread and said with satisfaction: "It's delicious. This thing is even better than meat buns."

At the same time, in the cafeteria kitchen.

The handymen and apprentices were all very excited at this time. They were originally worried whether the bread could be sold, but they didn't expect that it would be sold out in a short time.

Those who bought bread said it tasted good, while those who didn’t complained a lot.

Of course, this is not enough to excite them.

What made them excited was Chen Jun’s words.

If the sales of bread are good, Chen Jun will seek advice from the factory leaders and ask them to make better use of the afternoon time to make more bread to sell.

Because the workload has increased, the people in the kitchen can get a certain percentage of the reward.

These rewards can be things or money, but they must be useful.

"Director Chen is really amazing. The bread was sold out in no time."

"Just now, the workers were all rushing to make more, clamoring for us to do more."

"Have you delivered the bread to the factory manager? What did the factory manager say? Can we continue making bread this afternoon?"
