Food Intelligence King

Chapter 126 Improving Pastry Making Skills

The nursery director's reply was very official, but that also meant it was reliable.

Unexpectedly, they also developed a group catering business.

That evening, the family of three briefly discussed Chen Taotao's participation in the autumn outing.

More than half of the children in the class signed up. Chen Taotao was naturally willing to go with everyone.

So Ms. Lin also enrolled the little girl.

Then I started packing her things at home. Actually, all told, I went in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

Moreover, the time is set for the weekend, which is several days away.

But Lin Yifan was a little worried, as this was the first time Chen Taotao had left her parents to play outside.

"You need to bring your water bottle. Mom has already put the tissues in your backpack."

Then Ms. Lin looked at her husband:
"Besides steamed buns, is it possible to secretly bring some snacks? What if we eat and drink them, and then need to use the restroom?"

Chen Taotao didn't know what to bring herself, and then she caught a glimpse of wealth.
"Mom, can I take it with me? It has some friends at the zoo."

"No, Tao Tao."

"Ow."

"Meow."

Chen Zhou asked his daughter to let go of the opportunity to get rich.

He comforted Ms. Lin:
"It's alright, just make sure the child doesn't get lost."

Ms. Lin patted her husband's large hand, which was comforting her, and said, "I'm just a little worried."

"Buy a small watch."

The two of them had previously discussed buying a smartwatch for their little girl, but they originally planned to look into it when she started elementary school.

Looking at it now, besides social interaction, this thing is also very necessary.

Chen Zhou checked several shopping apps on his phone and found that there were no more spots available for the national subsidy.

The final price didn't change much.

He let Tao Tao pick a color she liked and quickly placed an order.

Just as he was making the payment, a WeChat message popped up on Chen Zhou's phone.

It was sent by the head of the nursery.

The other party is very efficient; when they get busy, they don't distinguish between work hours and off-hours.

In one afternoon, I compiled a table and sent it to Chen Zhou. It contained basic information about six students, as well as their parents' contact information.

Actually, not all of them are preschool children.

There are also two first-grade students, who were all students found by the principal.

Fortunately, there weren't many students, so Chen Zhou, the director of the admissions office, quickly put the parents and Teacher Wei into a group chat.

It's nice to have a renowned teacher to guide you through your early learning and cultivate your interest; the fees aren't expensive.

None of the parents were unhappy about it.

The extracurricular classes are still held on Sundays. Parents, children, and teachers can meet briefly for a chat.

Chen Zhou then asked Teacher Wei for leave for Chen Taotao separately.

Because the little one is going on an autumn outing with his kindergarten friends this weekend, which has already been registered, his extracurricular classes have to be suspended for a week.

Anyway, new kids will come, and they won't fall behind when they all attend classes together.

Teacher Wei said:

"Tao Tao can come on Saturday, or Sunday later, it doesn't matter."

Teacher Wei adores his little apprentice.

In addition to recruiting students for Go, Director Miao also made arrangements for ordering meals for the autumn outing.

Unfortunately, due to some food safety issues, the kindergarten cannot centrally purchase steamed buns from Chen Zhou's shop.

Because school cafeterias are places with special requirements.

As a centralized dining unit, kindergartens are prohibited from purchasing processed cooked food in addition to implementing food sample retention.

Although Director Miao really hoped that the children in the park could also enjoy delicious steamed buns during their autumn outing.

But the rules are set in stone. She was powerless to change them. Chen Zhou expressed his understanding, because he was a parent himself.

Although he usually feeds Chen Taotao the steamed buns he makes and does his best to ensure the health and hygiene of the store, he cannot cross the law.

Moreover, Principal Miao's actions demonstrate her strong emphasis on food safety in the kindergarten.

Chen Zhou was pleased with this. She was a responsible kindergarten director.

However, as a promotional effort, Director Miao still helped recommend the community canteen.

Director Miao said:
"When the parents from our kindergarten heard that the steamed buns were from your shop, they started chatting. Mr. Chen, your shop is very popular."

"It did generate some buzz online a while ago," Chen Zhou said modestly.
-
"I didn't know about this place until my son went there to eat steamed buns. That's when I discovered it existed."

"You're just too busy."

Most of the children who attend this kindergarten live nearby.

The community canteen is well-known, if not universally recognized.

It's estimated that there's a lot of overlap between the parents in the group and the customers Chen Zhou encountered.

Regarding the issue that Principal Miao mentioned that parents were discussing, Chen Zhou, who is also a parent at the kindergarten, said that Ms. Lin had already shown him the chat history in the group.

the next morning.

Chen Zhou, Zhao Yilin, and Aunt Zheng arrived at the store together.

He found that the two employees were in good condition.

The junior sister hummed a song as she worked.

Aunt Zheng looks great today. She used to be just an ordinary aunt, but now she's full of energy.

Good.

Chen Zhou took out the large mixed salad that Ms. Lin had specially prepared and asked:
"Are you eating now, or later?"

The junior sister glanced at the green vegetables, whose taste she had already experienced, and felt a little apprehensive.

"Senior brother, is it absolutely necessary to eat this?"

"Aren't you trying to lose weight? This is all dietary fiber." Chen Zhou then looked at Aunt Zheng:
"Auntie, it contains celery, which can help prevent high blood pressure."

"Um, boss, I already ate breakfast this morning."

The two of them really missed out on the good food.

Yesterday at noon, Aunt Zheng rolled out the dough and wrapped the dumplings herself.

Only today did Chen Zhou start working with Aunt Zheng as a partner, making steamed buns together.

I could clearly feel that my aunt's hand speed had improved; before, she could never make more than a few bun wrappers.

Aunt Zheng is stretching and rolling out dough at about the same speed as Chen Zhou, who is working at full capacity.

When Chen Zhou put the buns into the steamer, a long row of bun wrappers was laid out.

He had to admit, the dual-staff build was indeed quite something.

Chen Zhou carefully observed Aunt Zheng's technique; as she pushed and pulled, the two rolling pins swayed from side to side.

The dough is compressed and stretched, fully unfolding into a nearly complete circle, slightly thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.

The points of force of the two rolling pins undulate with exquisite spiral curves.

Chen Zhou suddenly felt his experience bar move. It was exactly the same experience he had when he watched Sister Hong kill fish last time.

He paused his work briefly and put the points back into the system.

Sure enough, the pastry-making skills also started to improve from a professional level and began to resemble those of a master.

An unexpected surprise.

Unexpectedly, in addition to helping Aunt Zheng regain her original skills, Chen Zhou also gained inspiration from it.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zheng became increasingly puzzled as she rolled out the dumpling wrappers, and she couldn't help but sigh:
"Boss, you haven't been using your full potential before."

Chen Zhou smiled: "This is nothing."

It's far from reaching the system's limits.

　In the recent chapters involving kindergarten meals, I initially planned a rather interesting scene for Chen Taotao, but then I considered the relevant laws and regulations, which made me quite conflicted, leading to numerous revisions. I apologize for the inconvenience.
