However, He Yuzhu's family is different. They do not eat lard, but choose peanut oil. Eggs, chicken, duck, mutton, etc. are also common.

As for pork, He Yuzhu's family had none.

Their meat coupons are usually used to buy spare ribs and pig's trotters, and pig bones are used to make broth.

“That’s right, there is a lot of fat in pig bones, especially the bone marrow, which is very fragrant when used to make soup.

"He Yuzhu explained," It just takes a longer time to extract all the essence.

"My family's ancestral craft is Tan's cuisine, and our best skill is making soup stock!"

"Soup!" Li Huaide thought for a moment, "If we use pig bones, we won't get any meat, this..."

Indeed, this is the problem. Meat is in limited supply, especially in times of food shortage, and pork is even more scarce.

“It’s up to you to decide whether to switch, but it might be more cost-effective to switch to bones so you can make stock more often.

"He Yuzhu said," I can guarantee the taste, the key is whether the workers can accept it.

“You can add some cabbage and potatoes and eat it with steamed corn bread.

"How about letting me give it a try?" Li Huaide was a little annoyed at the moment. He finally thought of this method, "Then let the leaders of the factory try it and give everyone a reference.

"Good idea, you can also add some vermicelli!" He Yuzhu suggested, "I'll make it tomorrow morning and we can eat it in the afternoon.

"Ok, deal.

I'll contact the factory leader. As for the ingredients, please go to the warehouse to check if there are any pig bones.

"Li Huaide found a barely feasible solution.

In those days, pig bones contained almost no meat and at most had a little aroma, and there were not many in stock in warehouses.

After He Yuzhu confirmed it, he decided to start early the next morning.

...

Director Yang was also troubled at this time. After all, it was the ** period, but the factory's production tasks were still heavy.

The original quota was not much, and Jia Dongxu's situation was even more special.

After all, their family only had one quota, so this kind of situation shouldn't happen often, but he still ordered an investigation to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

At this time, Li Huaide came to report: "Director, I have a way to improve the workers' nutritional intake.

"Oh?" Director Yang's eyes lit up. "What method?"

"Master He said that the pig bones in the canteen are rich in nutrients and can be used to make soup.

However, this is mainly bones rather than meat, and I am afraid that the workers will not be willing to accept it.

"Li Huaide said.

"Pig bones?" Director Yang frowned. "Really?"

“I’m not sure, but we have a few pig bones in our warehouse. Master He will start boiling them tomorrow morning and we’ll be able to taste them in the afternoon.

Let’s try it first, after all, supplies are scarce now.

“Even for pig bones, we need to exchange them with our factory’s meat quota, but maybe we can get more, after all, other units don’t want them much.

“As the number increases, the number of times you can do it will also increase.

If the oil can really be extracted, it should be enough for the workers' nutritional supplement.

Director Yang nodded slightly, "Indeed, then we will taste it tomorrow, in the evening?"

“Yes, I plan to let all the factory leaders have a taste, so that it can also motivate the workers to work hard.

“Li Huaide does have some skills.

“Okay, I’ll let you know.

You should count the number of people first. We will dine in the cafeteria tomorrow night. The private rooms may not be able to accommodate so many people.

"Director Yang nodded and said, "By the way, find some more senior technicians."

“Their opinions carry more weight.

"You're right, why didn't I think of it!" Li Huaide disguised himself just right at this moment. After flattering him, he said goodbye and left without staying for too long.

Li Huaide knew how to be patient. He understood that he could not confront Director Yang head-on now. The important thing was to consolidate his own position.

He Yuzhu also understood that the plan he proposed was beneficial to Li Huaide. Although this person had a bad character, he could provide him with shelter in difficult times.

He Yuzhu is a time traveler, not born and raised here, and does not have many noble sentiments. Instead, he is dominated by the pragmatism of later generations.

The key lies in his system. Although the career system is somewhat useful, it is not great. Moreover, he is a chef by profession. His cooking skills improve slowly and the cuisines he masters are limited, which means that he must ensure his own safety first.

In a turbulent period, it is not easy for a chef to keep his home, and if he really confronts others, the consequences will be disastrous.

After all, besides Li Huaide, there are other forces, and he cannot change the overall situation.

The next day at work, He Yuzhu went to the small warehouse to take out a few pounds of pork bones, which were the few stocks in the factory.

Entering the kitchen, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Liu Lan came over curiously and asked, "Master He, are you going to make pork bones?"

“Yes, I just wanted to give it a try.

He Yuzhu did not hide the fact, “The workers now need to replenish their energy, but the meat ration is limited.

“Now there is not even enough for basic rations, and additional supplies are even rarer, and even if there are any, they have been snapped up in the city.

"

“We have to find another way. This is the only solution I can think of at the moment.

"Liu Lan looked at the bones. "There's not even any meat on it. Is it okay?"

“That’s why the factory leaders tried it themselves and let everyone smell its fragrance today.

"He Yuzhu said as he picked up a kitchen knife and started chopping the bones.

Next, he stewed the bones, removed the fishy smell, adjusted the taste, and simmered it slowly over low heat to fully release the nutrients.

During the stewing process, he had to add water and asked Liu Lan to watch the fire and guide Ma Hua's knife skills.

At lunch time, He Yuzhu covered the pot and the aroma filled the air, but he was worried that the workers would smell it, so he resisted the urge to let them taste it in advance. Everyone in the kitchen suffered.

He Yuzhu distributed it generously so that everyone could have a bowl at noon.

After tasting it, Ma Hua praised: "Master, it smells so good!"

“The incense should be moderate, and it should be left for the factory leaders to taste in the evening.

"He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I won't teach you Tan's dishes, but I can teach you the soup stock making technique. Learn it well!"

"Master, don't worry, I will study hard!" Ma Hua became excited and felt that the master's craftsmanship was indeed amazing.

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu asked people to prepare cabbage, potatoes and vermicelli. These ingredients should not be put into the pot too early and should be added one by one twenty minutes before meal.

Director Yang brought his group to the cafeteria. They waited in the restaurant while he and Deputy Director Li went to the kitchen.

"Master He, what's going on?" Director Yang asked about the progress as soon as he entered the door.

"Let's start now!" Director Yang nodded in agreement.

He Yuzhu then opened the lid of the pot, and a strong aroma instantly filled the air. Director Yang and Deputy Director Li were immediately attracted and asked, "Why is it so fragrant?"

The two reacted in unison, and He Yuzhu explained: "This is a broth made from pig bones, which is both delicious and nutritious. Although there is not much oil or water in it, it is guaranteed to provide enough nutrition.

"That's it. Each person will take away two steamed buns and a box of vegetables. After eating, see if they can hold out until tomorrow morning.

“ Director Yang’s method is quite direct, which is to judge by observing their food tolerance.

Those who come are the factory's senior leaders, technicians and senior technical workers above level seven. As long as they are satisfied, it means the workers will also be satisfied and there won't be too many problems.

In this era, workers are the dominant force. If the workers are not satisfied, the entire factory leadership will be in trouble!

"Carry it out!" He Yuzhu waved his hand, and someone immediately came up to help, using a rag to pad the food and carry it away.

The restaurant was suddenly filled with aroma, and those who usually didn't have enough to eat immediately started to feel their stomachs growling.

They all knew what was going to happen next, but they didn't care at first. After all, how attractive could pig bones be?

However, the aroma immediately whetted their appetites. Soon, everyone took their lunch boxes, each received two steamed buns and a box of dishes, and began to wolf them down.

"Really delicious!"

"Yes, it smells so good. How do you make it?"

"..."

The cafeteria staff were no exception. Each of them filled a box with dishes that they would not eat here but take home to enjoy.

After get off work, He Yuzhu still has to prepare for the statistical work for tomorrow morning. Although it is not scientific enough, it is logical.

Two steamed buns do seem a bit too little, but considering that leaders and technical personnel consume less, while technical workers consume more, perhaps we can draw some data from it.

As a seventh-level fitter, Yi Zhonghai naturally stayed.

Liu Haizhong was somewhat dissatisfied with this matter because his level was still at level six.

He Yuzhu rode his bike back to the Wen family's house. Wen Li heard the voice and came out to ask, "Are there any guests?"

“No, but I’m going to make a dish and tell you later.

" He Yuzhu parked his bicycle and asked, "Is the food ready?"

"It's ready, just waiting for you!" Wen Li brought a basin of water for He Yuzhu to wash his hands and face, and then the family began to eat in the main room.

He Yuzhu described the incident in detail: "The factory leaders were very nervous about Jia Dongxu's incident, so they asked me for help, and the only thing I could think of was the pig bone trick.

Father Wen sighed, "Times are tough these days, and creditors are pressing for payment. Are these still comrades on the same front?"

"Don't sigh. We are from different countries and nationalities. We are not on the same path, so naturally we have different ideas.

"He Yuzhu said with emotion: "I have finally seen clearly that in international relations, what matters is interests, not emotions.

"That makes sense!" Father Wen looked at He Yuzhu in agreement, "Zhuzi, you always have a unique vision!"

After dinner, He Yuzhu stood in the yard smoking and checked the system panel. He was a little surprised to find that Tan’s cuisine had been upgraded.

He thought for a moment and thought that it might be because he had accumulated a lot of experience points from making soup.

Tan’s cuisine does require broth to cook dried seafood, and making broth this time is also considered part of Tan’s cuisine.

【Chef training system started! 】

[Host: He Yuzhu]

[Age: 24 years old]

[Occupation: Chef]

[Skills: Intermediate Tan Family Cuisine (1/1000), Sichuan Cuisine Master (/), Noodle Master (/), Big Pot Cuisine Master]

[Space: storage room, planting area, breeding area]

He Yuzhu touched his chin and considered whether he should cook in the space himself.

Whether it is the planting area or the breeding area, the internal space is relatively free and has always been used mainly for planting and breeding and has never had any other uses.

The purpose of the system is obvious, which is to continuously hone his cooking skills. Planting and breeding only provide him with ingredients, not for sale.

But in this era of material scarcity, He Yuzhu also needs to save money.

He shook his head, thinking that there was no urgent need to improve his cooking skills and there was no need to rush for success.

However, after the reform and opening up, he plans to open a restaurant, and it will not be too late to improve then.

However, it’s okay to find some recipes now to expand your cooking style.

After smoking, He Yuzhu came to the west wing, where Wen Li was giving the child **.

He Yuzhu leaned over to try it, but was pushed aside in disgust, and then left with a silly smile.

……

The next day, Deputy Director Li hurriedly counted the hours the employees had been hungry. Although the method was not very scientific, it was the only feasible way at present because my country started late in nutrition.

The statistical results show that it is not bad. The soup cannot completely fill the stomach, but the taste has been unanimously praised by everyone.

Next, it will be up to the factory leaders to decide whether to adopt He Yuzhu’s suggestion.

Finally, after considering opinions from all parties, they decided to adopt He Yuzhu's suggestion, because the meat in the dish was obviously insufficient and not as attractive as this delicacy.

Therefore, Deputy Director Li contacted Director Zhao of the meat processing plant again and asked them to replace all the meat with large bones, and the quantity would be increased, the specific increase depending on the effect of the dinner.

The responsibility of cooking naturally fell on He Yuzhu's shoulders, while several logistics leaders were responsible for serving wine.

Later, the steel rolling mill sent a large number of pig bones, but because they needed a long time to stew, if the canteen staff wanted to enjoy them at noon, they had to come to the factory in the middle of the night.

Or simply arrange two shifts, and have eight canteens produce the food at the same time, and He Yuzhu will be the only one who can do the guidance work.

"Master He, you take care of the arrangements!" Deputy Director Li came to the kitchen of a canteen and asked, "How do you think we should do it? All eight canteens will listen to you!"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Divide all the chefs into two groups, each with a group of kitchen helpers, working in shifts between the night and day shifts.

"The night shift starts stewing the soup in the second half of the night, while the day shift mainly watches the fire and steams buns at the same time.

“The night shift can just wash and cut the side dishes.

"It's settled!" Deputy Director Li began to assign tasks. The eight canteens were on high alert. Whether the workers would accept it remained to be seen, but senior technicians had already been asked to promote it.

He Yuzhu also informed his family that his work schedule had been adjusted recently and he would rest in the afternoon and work in the middle of the night.

The key lies in the first day. As long as the workers accept it on the first day, the nutritional supplement effect of bone soup for several consecutive days can be tested.

He Yuzhu was so dedicated in order to win the respect of the workers. He believed that this was a powerful talisman, so he gave it his all.

On the first day, the workers tasted the rich bone soup and responded enthusiastically with high praise.

"It smells so good! The cabbage, potatoes, and vermicelli are all so delicious!"

At this time, the eight canteens only served one dish - bone soup stew. There was no food left in any canteen, but the canteen staff had prepared it and kept some for themselves.
