Chapter 498 New Flavor Bread
After hesitating for two or three seconds, Jia Zhang patted her butt, stood up from the ground, and trotted to the backyard.
Such a fragrant smell must be coming from Chen Jun’s house. No one in the yard can make such a smell except him.
Sure enough, the fragrance became even stronger after running into the backyard.
Chen Jun had already prepared the base flavor and covered the pot to simmer for a while when he heard a knock on the door.
When I poked my head out of the kitchen, it turned out to be Jia Zhang.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Jun knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was and knew what she was going to do even with his toes, so he didn't bother to be polite with her when he spoke.
"I...are you stewing fish?" Jia Zhang swallowed and asked.
"What are you doing? What does it have to do with you if my family cooks fish?" Chen Jun said unhappily.
"You..." Jia Zhang instinctively wanted to curse a few words, but she was afraid that Chen Jun would kick her out, so she could only bite the bullet and reply, "It's nothing, I'm just asking, it's not against the law to ask, right?"
"Come on, go home and sleep early. Eat whatever you want in your dreams." Chen Jun waved his hand, then turned back to the kitchen.
"Humph, what's there to be proud of?"
Jia Zhang was extremely angry, but she didn't dare to act wildly in front of Chen Jun's house. She could only whisper a few harsh words and prepare to go home.
"Tsk tsk tsk, if you want to eat fish, go earn money and buy it yourself. There's nothing shameful about begging for food at someone else's house."
As luck would have it, Xu Damao walked out of the house and saw Jia Zhang coming to the backyard, so he took the opportunity to start mocking her.
It not only mocked Jia Zhang's shamelessness, but also mocked Jia Zhang for losing his job.
"Bah, you're a skinless swallow that gave birth to a child."
Jia Zhang was very hungry and too lazy to argue with Xu Damao. After scolding him, she hurriedly left the backyard.
Xu Damao was so proud when he saw this.
Jia Dongxu hasn't come out yet, and Jia Zhang has lost her job because of laziness. It's only a matter of time before the Jia family goes out of business.
Humph, if you dare to cheat me, Xu Damao, I will kill you!
......
In the following days, the steel mill became increasingly bustling.
Steel mill bread has become popular in the city, and many people are willing to walk for more than an hour just to have a bite of it.
The cafeteria tries to make as much as possible every day, but they are always sold out.
The people in the kitchen were so happy that if this continued, the bonus from selling bread would almost catch up with their salary.
Chen Jun struck while the iron was hot and called Master Li and others to start making new bread.
Soon, breads with red bean filling, date paste filling and white sugar filling were introduced. Although the price was a little higher than ordinary bread, they were still selling well.
Even when Chen Jun made some enlarged puffs out of boredom, he was still targeted by some greedy people.
Due to the raw materials, Chen Jun did not make a lot of puffs. He originally wanted to make them for Chen Xueru, but he did not expect them to be so popular.
Even if the big puff is priced at one dollar each, the girls from rich families are willing to pay for it.
Not only are they willing to buy, they even buy several at a time.
This is one dollar each. The people in the cafeteria originally thought that the price was too outrageous, but they can sell as many as they make.
Although ordinary people live a tight life these days, there has never been a shortage of rich people in the city of Sijiu. It’s just that these rich people have become much more low-key than before.
Even if some capitalists' businesses begin to reform or donate, their family assets are still strong and their lives are much better than those of ordinary people.
The girls born in these families have never lacked food and drink since childhood, so even if a large extra-large puff costs one dollar, there are still people who will pay for it.
But although they dared to buy, Chen Jun was a little afraid to sell.
too expensive!
A piece of pork belly only costs one dollar these days, so his oversized puff is too conspicuous.
It would be fine if it was only sold on a small scale, but now those who buy the puffs are girls from wealthy families outside the factory.
Chen Jun was worried that he would be associated with them because of this matter in the future, so after only a few days of selling them, he asked to remove the larger version of the puffs from the shelves, while the rest of the bread was supplied as usual.
"Silly Zhu, go open all the windows in the cafeteria to allow some air to circulate."
Chen Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Sha Zhu to open the window for ventilation. Now that the weather was getting warmer, life in the kitchen was becoming less pleasant.
Especially when cooking on the stove, you will sweat in a short while.
You have to know that it’s not summer yet, and we never know what the kitchen will be like when summer comes.
At this time, Chen Jun began to miss the air conditioning he had before, but there was no air conditioning in the kitchen, not even a fan.
In summer, there is only one way to cool down the cafeteria, that is to sprinkle water on the ground and use the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption to cool the cafeteria.
"okay!"
Sha Zhu was diligent and opened all the windows of the cafeteria in a short while.
When they returned to the kitchen, Sha Zhu looked at Chen Jun cooking with envy and asked curiously, "Director Chen, is this new kitchenware easy to use?"
This set of kitchen utensils was obtained during the preliminary round of the last cooking competition. It was not cheap, so Shazhu had been coveting it for a long time.
As a chef, who doesn’t want to have a set of useful tools?
It’s just like a certain brand of spatulas and spoons in later generations, which sell for thousands of dollars a pair and still have no problem selling.
Chen Jun glanced at Sha Zhu and said calmly, "Try it yourself to see if it works. You can make the next dish of fried eggs with chili peppers."
"Me? A waiter?" Sha Zhu widened his eyes in surprise, somewhat unsure whether what Chen Jun said was true.
He just cooks a big pot of food now and has never thought about cooking for guests.
You should know that the receptions in the factory are used to greet customers or leaders, and if you don’t do it well, you may be scolded.
"You've been learning for so long, but you don't even dare to make scrambled eggs with peppers?" Chen Jun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Dare, of course!" Sha Zhu said subconsciously, but then said with some disappointment: "But what if I don't do it well..."
"If it's not finished, just take it to the window and sell it." Chen Jun said indifferently.
No matter how you cook it, this fried egg with pepper will not go to waste.
Let Sha Zhu get in touch with hospitality, and once he's trained well, we can save a lot of trouble.
"Hey, that's what you said."
With Chen Jun's words, Sha Zhu no longer had any worries. He quickly cleaned the pot, and then started to make scrambled eggs with chili peppers under Chen Jun's gaze.
The finished product can only be said to be okay. It would definitely pass muster in a restaurant, but it seemed a bit sloppy here for Chen Jun.
After a few simple instructions, the bell for the end of get off work rang.
Sha Zhu no longer had time to study and asked the kitchen workers to start serving the food.
After lunch, Director Yang came to the kitchen personally and talked about some precautions for tomorrow's cooking competition finals, and asked them to prepare what dishes to cook in advance.
Chen Jun has actually been prepared for a long time and is just waiting for the competition tomorrow.
