After Lin Mai finished recording his statement at the police station, he rode his bicycle back home.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma coming from the kitchen.
After changing her shoes, she ran to the kitchen, took a deep breath, and said to Zhou Caiyun intoxicated: "It smells so good! Are you making spicy crispy oil chili sauce?"
Zhou Caiyun was busy and said with a smile: "Your nose is really sharp!"
Then he took out a sealed glass bottle from the cupboard: "This is the spicy and crispy oil chili sauce I made yesterday. It has been twelve hours and it is ready to eat. You can try it and see if it tastes good."
Lin Mai smiled and said: "I happened to have no lunch, so I ate my lunch with this chili sauce."
When Zhou Caiyun heard that she hadn't had lunch, he had to cook noodles for her.
Lin Mai stopped him.
What she doesn’t like to eat the most is dried noodles, and her favorites are hot dry noodles and beef ramen.
She raised the thermos bottle in her hand: "I have lunch, but I didn't have time to eat it."
Zhou Caiyun said: "In that case, then you can try some other kinds of chili sauce."
As she spoke, she took out several more sealed glass bottles from the cupboard, which were also filled with chili sauce, but with different flavors.
Zhou Caiyun put some of each flavor of chili sauce in a small bowl and brought it to the dinner table with Lin Mai.
Lin Mai saw several boxes of unbranded mooncakes on the dining table and asked, "Where did these mooncakes come from?"
Zhou Caiyun put the small bowl of chili sauce on the dining table: "Manager Zheng downstairs sent someone to bring it up. He said it was for you to taste and see if it meets your requirements."
Lin Mai said oh, sat down and started eating lunch.
She opened the thermos and saw that it was full of delicious food.
Lin Mai poured the food in the thermos into a bowl and took a bite.
Although the dishes are all good and the rice is cooked with good rice, it tastes a bit weird in your mouth. Maybe it's because it was stuffed in the thermos for too long.
Lin Mai didn't mind either.
In her previous life, when she was twenty years old, she came from the countryside to work in the city. What kind of hardships had she not endured?
Not to mention food that has been stale for a long time, she has eaten even food that has gone sour.
She still remembered the time in her previous life when Wu Xiaoyu came to the city to ask for money from her, saying that his mother was seriously ill and needed treatment, so he took away all the money she earned.
Being penniless, she could only sell the cooked dumplings. When she had money, she could buy rice for cooking.
It happened that business was slow that day, and the dumplings were sold out until the afternoon.
Drink tap water from a public tap at noon to relieve hunger.
She was afraid that other vendors would see her drinking tap water to quench her hunger and take pity on her.
She pretended to wash her face and secretly drank tap water.
Later she found out that the reason Wu Xiaoyu came to get money from her was not because his mother was seriously ill, but because Lin Bei wanted a gold necklace.
It's funny to think about it.
Because she liked Wu Xiaoyu in her previous life, she was willing to be his and Lin Bei's tool, working hard to make money for them.
Because Wu Xiaoyu loved Lin Bei so much, he would be happy even if Lin Bei gave him countless cuckolds.
In order to buy her a gold necklace, he even told the lie that his own mother was seriously ill without any sense of guilt.
But everything has passed, there is no need to think about it, let alone be worried about it.
Lin Mai tasted several kinds of chili sauce made by Zhou Caiyun with the food in the thermal pancake.
Although it's not as good as Lao Mama's chili sauce, it's pretty good.
She pointed at the various chili sauces with her chopsticks: "There is still room for improvement and it can be made even more delicious. Let's take our time on this.
But as far as the current taste is concerned, it is already comparable to food from the market.
Tomorrow the Human Resources Department will probably recruit workers for you, and you can start making chili sauce with the workers."
She is not afraid that her skills in making chili sauce will be imitated by her employees.
Just go and learn.
Her chili sauce has shrimp paste added as seasoning to increase the freshness.
As long as the shrimp paste production technology is not leaked out, no matter how outsiders imitate it, the chili sauce they make is just a painting of skin and bones.
There is still a gap between her chili sauce and her homemade shrimp paste.
Although the five workers were previously recruited to make pickles, after the pickles are ready and put on the altar, they have to be left for at least two weeks before they can be sold at the market.
So these five workers only have to spend three or four hours a day pickling the pickles and they have nothing to do. They can just make the chili sauce.
Zhou Caiyun said hello.
Lin Mai pointed out the shortcomings of each chili sauce to Zhou Caiyun one by one and told her how to improve it. Zhou Caiyun listened very carefully.
Halfway through the meal, the salesperson from Jiangcheng Mall called,
Tell her that the unscrupulous female reporter flirted with him all the way to the newspaper where she worked.
He ignored the female reporter's obstruction and found her leader.
I handed the notebook to the leader and reported the situation truthfully.
The leader got angry on the spot and fired her.
Lin Mai was shocked and said: "Is that leader so happy to do things?"
The salesperson explained: "The reporter did the temporary interview without permission from the leader.
In fact, temporary interviews are acceptable to leaders as long as the content submitted is good.
But the problem is, that female reporter is not interviewing for the sake of interviewing, she is obviously interviewing to stir up trouble. How can the leader not be angry?
In addition, since she is an intern and has not yet become a full-time employee, it will only take a matter of minutes for her boss to tell her to get out."
Lin Mai clicked his tongue.
The female reporter looked as if she had been bribed.
It is estimated that the people who bribed her were the same two people as those who bribed the troublemaking aunts, namely Rong's father and Rong's mother.
This female reporter had not even become a regular employee herself. She was hired by others just for a small profit, and she lost her job. She was so stupid.
After lunch, Zhou Caiyun and Lin Mai cleaned up the dishes together.
Lin Mai said to her: "Even though your pickle workshop only has a few employees now, it will definitely grow in the future.
By then, you may have to manage a food factory with a hundred people.
With your current ability and education level, I think it is difficult to manage well.
So I want you to take night school to improve yourself, are you willing?"
Lin Mai had already had the idea of sending low-educated cadres in the company to night schools.
It is difficult for a person without education to succeed in his career, and it is even harder to achieve great achievements.
And she needs Zhou Caiyun and others to take charge of their own affairs. She can just look at the overall situation and strategize, which will save her a lot of worry.
Zhou Caiyun lowered his head to wash the thermos bottle and said hesitantly: "I am definitely willing, but I'm just afraid that I won't be able to keep up."
"Then you have to use your free time to improve yourself and keep up with the teaching progress of night school.
If you don't work hard, if the pickle factory grows in size and you can't manage it, I will ask someone else to replace you, and then you will have no choice but to be a technician.
Think about it for yourself, would you rather be a technician or the director of a pickle factory?"
Zhou Caiyun thought for a long time and smiled at Lin Mai: "I said I just want to be a technician, will you be angry?
But I still have to go to night school, it never hurts to learn more knowledge."
Lin Mai said seriously: "How could I be angry? Everyone has their own ambitions.
If you work as a technician and make some achievements in your field, that would be quite good."
After clearing the dishes, the two of them tasted the mooncakes together.
Even before Zhou Caiyun finished eating the moon cake, she was so surprised.
I asked Lin Mai, what is the filling in the mooncake? It is sweet and soft, and has a fruity fragrance. It is so delicious.
Comparing those traditional mooncakes with this kind of mooncake makes people not want to eat it.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Not all traditional mooncakes are delicious.
Red date paste mooncakes, lotus paste mooncakes, egg yolk mooncakes...all taste good.
It’s no worse than the fruit mooncake you’re eating now.”
As long as she is not given five-nut mooncakes, Linmai can accept mooncakes of other flavors.
Zhou Caiyun ate the mooncake in her hand and muttered: "I have never even seen those mooncakes with traditional fillings you mentioned, let alone eaten them."
It is normal for Zhou Caiyun to have never eaten or seen it.
The mooncakes with traditional fillings that Lin Mai mentioned are not available. They are not sold on the market. Where can she go to taste them?
In this era, only five-nut mooncakes and Soviet-style mooncakes were available.
Both of these mooncakes are not very delicious, but people in this era love to eat them.
The main reason is that there are no other mooncakes for them to choose from, and the supply of mooncakes is pitiful.
It’s great if you can eat half a piece, and you can also choose the fillings!
After eating the mooncakes, Lin Mai called the number of Baohao Noodle Shop downstairs.
Tell Zheng Xudong that the mooncakes made by the chefs responsible for making fruit mooncakes are delicious.
Ask Zheng Xudong to quickly contact a street-run food factory that has no business and make fruit-filled mooncakes.
Send a box of mooncakes to each employee for the festival, and then prepare mooncakes for promotional activities.
After talking to Zheng Xudong, Lin Mai dialed Niu Lili's number again.
