Recruiting Chefs

As Little Hai looked at Yu Bing, who was about his age, he wondered how this woman was so smart. The village chief didn’t even understand such a difficult thing, so how could she explain it so logically at such a young age?

Yu Bing thought for a moment. “How about this? Let’s see who’s willing to apply for a kitchen position at noon today. We won’t waste any time. They’ll sign up for the competition on the spot and we’ll choose two chefs first. At that time, I’ll teach them the cooking method of the two food products I have first.”

“There’s another problem you have to pay attention to. You lack your own main products now. The few pastries you’re currently producing are relatively ordinary and are mass-market. Unless you can make the taste outstanding, it’s best to produce some products that don’t exist in the current market.”

When Little Hai heard this, he immediately asked, “Then can we directly make the two types of food you gave us into the main products?”

!!

Yu Bing nodded with a smile. “Of course, but this involves another problem. These two products are simple, so if someone who’s good at making snacks thinks about it, they can roughly guess the method.”

“Therefore, you have to pay attention to the stability of the taste during production to protect your customer base. Moreover, it’s best to give out samples to get orders before the product is released to the market. It’s best to distribute the goods at about the same time and distribute them as widely as possible so that everyone can associate the products with your brand.”

“This way, even if someone wants to imitate you later, unless the other party’s cooking skills are better than yours, customers will still favor Jin Lan at the same price or if it’s only slightly cheaper than yours.”

Xu Jin sighed softly. “Oh my god, no wonder our factory can’t compete with others. There are too many twists and turns. It gives me a headache!”

Little Hai nodded in agreement.

Xu Jin marveled as he turned on the office radio and began to announce the recruitment of two chefs at noon.

Because there was no age and gender restriction for chefs in Jinlan Village, anyone in the village who felt that they had some decent culinary skills would participate proactively.

The judges were the cadres of the village committee and the two specially invited judges, Yu Bing and Feng Cai.

Jin Lan had been operating for eight years, and during this period, the equipment inside was added bit by bit, so it was much more complete than the equipment in Delicious Food Factory. Yu Bing asked everyone to make the snacks they were best at making.

After intense competition, a newly married wife and a middle-aged woman were finally chosen.

In the afternoon, Yu Bing asked the two new chefs to learn from the original chefs first before modifying them according to their own experience. After the finished products were out, the workers present tasted them together and everyone’s eyes lit up.

Their performance was within Yu Bing’s expectations. When she ate the food from the Jinlan Food Factory yesterday, she felt that it wasn’t easy for the factory to last so many years. It was all thanks to their cheap prices.

Next, it was Yu Bing’s turn to impart the formula.

Yu Bing planned to make sweet potatoes first. This product was made from scallion pancakes and sweet potatoes. Scallion pancakes were a specialty of Treasure Island.

Yu Bing steamed the sweet potatoes in the pot and started to make scallion pancakes.

She poured a suitable amount of flour into the basin and added a little salt. Then, she poured warm water into it and stirred it into dough. Then, she kneaded it into dough and covered it with a steamed cloth. After 30 minutes, the dough was cut into the right size. She brushed cooking oil on the surface and waited for 40 minutes.

Yu Bing used this time to make a soufflé. After she stirred it evenly with flour, salt, and cooking oil, she adjusted it to a state where she could pull it.

Then, she used a rolling pin to roll the small dough into a large piece of dough. Then, she kept pulling it around. She tried her best to pull it as big as possible without breaking the skin. Then, she used a brush to brush a layer of soufflé. After that, she folded the thin-skinned dough into the shape of a folding fan.

At this moment, the large piece of dough became a long strip with a few layers.

Yu Bing picked up the dough slice and stretched it slightly on both sides. The longer the better. Then, she rolled it from left to right. After rolling it, Yu Bing kneaded the dough with her hand and rolled the dough into a pancake shape. The pancake skin of the scallion pancake was done.
