A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Quarter of an hour later, two or three hundred kilograms of peanuts had passed the re-inspection. Zhang Yunyue thought that the peanuts for making chili oil today were enough. Next time, she would have to ask the two aunts in the noodle pounding room to make arrangements themselves. After checking the chili peppers, she would have to check how many peanuts would be enough for the next day.

Zhang Yunyue also asked the two aunts to bring all the green onions, cilantro, ginger and garlic that had been washed in the morning to the big kitchen. The chili powder that had been pounded in the morning was also brought to the big kitchen, as well as the spices that she had just brought from home.

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, these things are necessary for making chili oil. From now on, when you come in the morning, you must first clean them and put them aside to drain the water.

You don't need to worry about the contents in this bag. When the time comes, one pot of chili oil will be paired with one bag of this. I'll show you how to make chili oil. How many kilograms of vegetable oil are in each pot? You must weigh them.

You can't go straight to the oil without weighing it. The chili powder also needs to be matched with the amount of vegetable oil. The order of placing the ingredients of these things, as well as the heat of the oil and chili,

Today I will teach you how to make two pots of chili oil. I will teach you as you make them. Please note that you must collect the chili oil during the whole process. After that, each of you will start to make your own. I will watch you make it for the next few days. "

Seeing that all the aunts and sisters-in-law nodded, Zhang Yunyue started to boil the chili oil, explaining the precautions for each step.

By the time the first batch of chili oil was cooked, the air was already filled with a rich aroma. People working in the workshop thought the smell was so delicious, but then they thought that as long as they were fully present, they would be able to get it when their monthly salary was distributed next month.

After taking the first batch of chili oil out of the pot and letting it cool down and putting it in the largest ceramic pot he bought, Zhang Yunyue started to wash the pot and prepare to boil the chili oil for the second time.

The second time, he was still explaining while doing the cooking. After a quarter of an hour, the second pot of chili oil was ready. The taste was the same as the first pot. The chili oil was then cooled and put into a ceramic pot.

"Sisters-in-law and aunts, the chili oil has been processed twice. Next, you will operate it one by one, in groups of two, one person will boil it and the other will light the fire.

When we got tired of boiling chili oil, we swapped places, and then the next group came in groups, and the other groups watched from the sidelines and asked questions when they had any, and I would answer them. "

As soon as Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, the eight women next to her formed their own teams.

"Yueyue, Aunt Mu's first group will come." Aunt Xiang volunteered. The person who formed a team with Aunt Mu was a young daughter-in-law in the village, named Chen Yu.

When Aunt Mu moved forward, she also took a step forward.

"Okay, then Aunt Mu and Sister Chen will come first, and the other aunts will watch first."

Aunt Mu and Chen Yu started to work together to boil chili oil. Zhang Yunyue watched how they worked and knew that they were usually skillful in the kitchen and good at cooking. At this moment, they also had a good control of the heat. In the middle, Zhang Yunyue corrected them for a few minor issues and didn't say anything else.

After two quarters of an hour of working together, Aunt Mu and Chen Yu finally cooked the chili oil. Zhang Yunyue took a look and tasted a little. Seeing nothing wrong, she asked the two of them to stand aside and watch the others work.

An hour passed and everyone had finished the operation. Zhang Yunyue explained it again based on the problems everyone encountered during the process. After that, Zhang Yunyue thought about letting everyone make the chili oil again in groups, so that they could deepen their memory.

"The chili oil that you just made is not a big problem, but there are still some small problems, that is, the control of the heat, and how to check the degree of the chili oil being cooked.

So, aunties, please do it again, um, this time in groups, and the rest of you can watch and see what the difference is between your operation and the other party's."

The aunts and sisters-in-law who were working all nodded. They all knew that only well-cooked chili oil could attract customers, so they all watched carefully when Zhang Yunyue spoke.

Be careful when operating. It's only the first time after all, so it's normal to be not proficient in the technique. I believe you will be able to master it after operating it a few more times.

After everyone had operated it again for the second time, there were no more problems this time. Zhang Yunyue just gave a reminder or two, and the rest was done by the aunts and sisters-in-law who were working on it themselves.

"The chili oil we made this time is much better. We will work together in pairs in the future. I will continue to watch you while you make it over the next few days. If you have any questions, you can continue to ask me.

I was afraid that the aunties would be embarrassed to ask, so every morning I would come, clean the house first, and then wash the onions, cilantro and other ingredients that were needed.

After everything is sorted out, we can start boiling chili oil. Then, half an hour before the end of the afternoon, we stop boiling chili oil. At this time, we have to clean the things used for the day, clean up, and can the boiled chili oil and put it in the room dedicated to the chili oil cans. "

Everyone nodded, and then each group took charge of a stove and began to boil the chili oil, while Zhang Yunyue watched from the side.

As soon as the You hour arrived, Zhang Yunyue asked everyone to stop boiling the chili oil. Zhang Yunyue asked everyone to clean up the kitchen first, and then wait until all the chili oil had cooled down before canning it.

Zhang Yunyue took a look at the chili oil in the ceramic jars. The largest one was full, and the other large one was half full, which was about 150 kilograms. However, the exact amount would only be known when the time came to weigh it.

Wait until all the rooms are cleaned at noon.

"That's all for today. Everyone just needs to come at the designated time tomorrow. You can leave now."

After Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, the workers left the workshop. Zhang Yunyue checked all the rooms again, made sure the stove was out, locked all the doors, and went home with Grandpa Zhang and the others.

On the dinner table.

Zhang Yunyue said, "Today, all the workshop employees have officially started working. From what I can see today, everyone is doing a good job. I will not go to the town in the next few days.

I was watching the aunts making chili oil in the workshop. After all, they are not very skilled yet. When all the chili oil is ready, I will notify Tianxianglou to come and pick up the goods. "

Grandpa Zhang listened to Zhang Yunyue while eating: "Yueyue is right, you and I can just stay in the workshop, and the others can just do what they need to do at home.

Fortunately, we don’t have to make chili oil at home anymore. We can have the peanuts fried in the workshop, so we can have one less thing to do at home.”

Zhang Yunyue: "Okay, I haven't thought about this yet. Tomorrow I will talk to the aunties in the workshop about how many peanuts to fry every day."

Zhang Yunyue: "Grandpa, there are not many green onions and cilantro in the vegetable garden. I think they can only last for two more days. It would be best if we also buy some ginger and garlic, but we have to keep some for ourselves.
