...
The big white goose fell to the ground.
It flapped its wings, trying to jump over Hadir's head, but——
From the dense steam, a small hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed its slender neck.
"Gah!——"
The big white goose let out a scream, shook its head, and tried to peck away the terrifying hand with its beak.
However, the strength unleashed by that rough little hand was completely different from the strength of her younger peers!
The big white goose, which was supposed to be the bully of raptors, collapsed midway due to lack of oxygen and blood blockage, and its beak failed to cause any harm to the goose catcher.
Hadir rubbed his belly (the big white goose bumped into it earlier), stood up from the ground, and looked at his little sister with an expression of 'What the hell?', looking at his little sister sticking her head out of the steam.
"Ah, brother, you are back today!"
The little girl, who was about 10 years old, exclaimed energetically.
Hadir waved his hand to disperse some steam, and found that there seemed to be no other people in the kitchen.
"Little sister, where is the chef? Where are the aunts and our mother? Where have everyone gone?"
Hadir asked his sister, and the little girl shouted again: "The aunts, mother, and the chef uncle are all going to the manor! They said they are going to move vegetables, dried meat, and flour for the next two days! Bring the food
Move to the castle warehouse!”
"The chef asked me to watch the stove and stir the paste on time!"
Hadir nodded and took a few steps toward the kitchen.
He saw small fires burning under three large iron pots on the stove (a certain amount of fine firewood and combustion-supporting minerals were stuffed in advance, and the inlet air duct of the stove was adjusted to a suitable size). The lids of the pots were lifted, and white steam was flowing.
Most of the gas rising from the pot flows outdoors along the chimney, but a small amount accumulates indoors, making the kitchen both dense and hot.
Hadir stretched out his head and took a look. What was being boiled in the three large iron pots was wheat paste - but it was obviously not long after the pot was put in. The wheat flour particles and alkaline water had not yet been perfectly integrated. They were lumps and lumps, neither cooked nor cooked.
Not soft - this kind of 'big pot rice' cooked with wheat flour, salt, and alkaline water takes a long time to cook, and someone needs to stir it regularly to prevent condensation.
Of course, it can be stored for a long time after being burned.
Hadir looked around the kitchen and found that the wooden barrels storing onions, celery, nutmeg, and radishes had all bottomed out, and there were only three or two dried meat jerky hanging on the pole.
Simple supply chain knowledge, taking the storage and use of food as an example:
The kitchen on the second floor of the castle is the terminal for using food. It can be replenished quickly after use, and its environment is not suitable for long-term storage of food.
The warehouse on the ground floor of the castle is an intermediate link in the supply chain. Periodically opening the door, picking up and transferring goods, the warehouse is more suitable for medium and long-term storage than the kitchen environment.
But it is only relatively suitable.
Due to the cyclical nature of the warehouse—people coming in and out, and supplies changing frequently—the warehouse on the ground floor of the castle is not a perfect food storage space.
Rats and 'rats' are more or less always present in warehouses with periodic access.
The most perfect granary, in addition to meeting the three requirements of 'dryness', 'low temperature' and 'anti-mouse', the most important thing is that it is 'big enough'!
For example, the castle manor has three large cellars.
The first cellar is used to store wheat flour, soybean flour, and other rations calculated by tons. Similarly, the second cellar stores air-dried meat, and the third cellar stores cabbage, onions, and other vegetables suitable for long-term storage.
Every week, 60% of the agricultural products produced in the manor are consumed on the day, 30% are transported to the castle warehouse, and the remaining 10% are piled into the cellar.
It can be said that these three large cellars are the strategic reserves of the castle. More goes in and less goes out.
Basically, according to the past rhythm, a batch of old grain and meat will be taken out from the cellar every three months, and brought to the castle warehouse for gradual digestion, freeing up space and filling it with new grain and new meat.
Vegetables are changed every month.
The so-called "dig holes deeply, store up food widely, prepare for war and prepare for famine".
Every lord family with an online IQ must have its own cellar, granary, and secret cave.
Can gold be eaten?
Can green paper be eaten?
Food is hard currency!
Like the current situation, for the sake of the lord's large-scale construction projects, the consumption rate of food has increased sharply.
Therefore, in addition to those usually produced in the farm and purchased in the seaport town,
The grain reserves in these three large cellars have also begun to be used.
Hadir was stunned for a moment and said to himself:
"The warehouse on the ground floor is out of stock? Has the castle's supply consumption been so high recently?"
The little girl nodded, dragging the semi-conscious big white goose with her right hand, pointing to the window with her left hand, and yelled: "Brother, you don't know! The chefs and aunts have been very tired recently!"
"Since last month, we have had to cook extra meals for more than 80 people every day!" (referring to the arrival of Sreif workers)
"And since last week, the kitchen has had to cook more than 260 extra meals every day!" (referring to the expansion of the demolition team)
"It takes longer and longer to cook, and we are getting busier and busier! Everyone feels a little tired!"
Production work is inseparable from logistics. The larger the order of magnitude of intensive production, the higher the pressure on logistics support.
Objectively speaking, a certain earth and wood devil is indeed very close.
At the macro level, Li Jia Shu and Chu Yang have indeed ensured adequate reserves of grain——
——However, the devil did miss the pressure on the ‘logistics kitchen’.
After all, when I was on Terra Blue Star in my previous life, the [catering supply chain] of the construction site had nothing to do with Li Jia Shu. (The catering supply chain of the project also has a lot of oil and water, but that is not the case for ordinary people.
Touchable,dddd)
In the kitchen, the little girl spoke bluntly and bluntly: "Mom complained to dad, and the chef uncle also complained to the housekeeper uncle."
"But it seems to be of no use!"
"Dad said this matter must be handled by the housekeeper."
"Dad also said that it was not convenient for him to intervene in this matter. Why?"
"In short, it seems that Uncle Chuyang has never known about the troubles in the kitchen. It seems that the housekeeper has never told Uncle Chuyang about the kitchen at all, I guess!"
The little girl looked a little troubled.
Hadir touched his chin - he was 19 years old and had already started to grow stubble - he smiled bitterly and explained to his sister: "Father can't interfere with Uncle Atol's responsibilities, and Uncle Atol can't do it either.
Interfering with our father's duties."
"Otherwise it would be [transgression]."
"Although I believe that Chu Yang won't mind this little transgression...but my father and Uncle Ator will."
"Ahem, I'll go see Chu Yang later and I'll talk to him about this in private."
The little girl shook her head, "Adults' rules are really troublesome."
Then she asked: "Why didn't the housekeeper tell Uncle Chuyang about our kitchen complaints?"
Hadir patted his sister's head lightly, "He must have his own reasons, but I don't know what they are."
The little girl was about to ask something else, but Hadir pinched her cheek.
"You have too many questions! My brother is not the magic lamp in Saracen legends, so I can't answer all your questions!"
The little girl muttered: "Because I think my brother is the smartest person, even smarter than Uncle Chuyang wuwuwuwu——!"
Hadir pinched his sister's cheek and asked her to stop speaking. He was angry and funny.
"Don't talk nonsense, you know?"
He pinched his sister's little face hard, then Hadir let go and pointed at the big white goose.
"What's going on with this goose? Why did you bring it into the kitchen? Are you going to roast the goose later?"
The semi-conscious Glamorgan twitched its wings.
"Ah, no!" The little girl with natural strength picked up the big white goose with one hand.
"Use its feathers to wipe the cooking pot! The effect is great! It's so clean!"
