Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"what happened?"

Yuan Yuqing drooped her face and handed the notebook she had been holding in her arms to Xu Wanning: "During this period, except for sleeping at night and going to the cafeteria to eat, I spent most of my time in the experimental field, just to see the comparison of the few seedlings. . It was pretty good at first, and I drew the changes at each stage, but..."

Yuan Yuqing pointed to the last two pages, "Sister Wan Ning, go and take a look for yourself. There are some seedlings that are most likely not going to survive and look depressed. Comrade Lin Maoqing and I are worried that the seedlings will wither before you come back. I tried many remedies, but to no avail."

"I'll go to the experimental field first." Xu Wanning put her hand on Yuan Yuqing's shoulder: "I've worked hard on you during this period. You go back to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes, have a good sleep and rest for a while. I'll cook in the afternoon. There’s food for you.”

Yuan Yuqing nodded hurriedly: "I also want to eat the instant noodles cooked by Sister Wan Ning!"

During this time, she and Lin Maoqing cooked instant noodles frequently, and they all cooked them according to Xu Wanning's method, but the taste was completely different. Although it was edible, it was not nearly as delicious.

"Look at your achievements, I will do something good later to reward you and Brother Maoqing."

"Then I won't delay Sister Wan Ning. You can go to the experimental field and have a look."

Soon, Xu Wanning arrived at the experimental field. She compared the seedlings at each stage drawn by Yuan Yuqing with the seedlings she saw in front of her.

From time to time, I have to take out a pen to take notes, looking focused and serious.

When Xu Wanning got to the field, she realized that Lin Maoqing had arrived at some unknown time.

"Aning, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of those seedlings."

Seeing Lin Maoqing's frown, Xu Wanning smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Maoqing, it's just in the experimental stage now. It's normal for any situation to occur. It's impossible for me to succeed in the experiment at the first time, right?"

If it was really that easy, her teacher wouldn't have made no major progress for so many years.

"There are differences in the accents between the north and the south, let alone factors such as climate and soil? The seedlings in this experimental field are actually the control group. We simulated the climate of other more representative identities outside of Beijing. soil to observe the growth of the seedlings.”

"Although most of the seedlings will inevitably end in decline, I have also gained something." Xu Wanning raised the notebook in his hand: "After observation, I found that there are two kinds of soil and one of the climate conditions, which are very suitable for The growth of seedlings like mine. It’s just..."

"Just what?" Lin Maoqing asked impatiently.

Xu Wanning sighed helplessly, and then said: "It's just that this soil was moved from our experimental base. After such a long time, I don't know if this soil has deteriorated. Coupled with the climate... So, if you want to verify my Whether this experiment can be successful or not, we most likely need to go to the local area and verify it in person.”

It's just that there are too many operations required, and Xu Wanning is not sure if there will be any changes, so she can only put it on hold for the time being.

Seeing the slight disappointment in her eyes, Lin Maoqing already had concerns in his heart.

Xu Wanning put away her notebook and said to Lin Maoqing: "I just told Yuqing that I will cook today and make a delicious meal to reward you. Brother Maoqing, I will go to the cafeteria first."

"Since Aning wants to cook, I won't be polite to you."

Xu Wanning arrived at the back kitchen and told her why she was here. The chef readily gave up his territory.

What Xu Wanning wants to make is a simple version of hot pot, commonly known as Malatang.

Fortunately, the ingredients in the canteen are quite complete, and some of the seasonings needed to make the base are also prepared.

She cut all the vegetables first and set them aside. When the chef wasn't paying attention, she quietly took some base ingredients from the space, mixed them with the seasonings already in the kitchen, and stir-fried a hot pot base.

After a while, the kitchen was filled with a pungent but mouth-watering smell.

Before the chef could ask what the smell was, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"Old Shen, what are you cooking today? Why does it smell so good? I just took a whiff, and my mouth started to water."

"Hey!" Chef Shen patted his thigh: "How can I have such ability? It's our Comrade Xu. I don't know what novel thing she is doing. I just took a sniff and was shocked. , let alone you, even I want to eat it!"

However, Xu Wanning didn't hear their conversation, so they could only endure this torture.

Fortunately, Xu Wanning quickly cooked the spicy hotpot.

When she saw the chef talking to someone, she quietly visited the warehouse, brought out a lot of chopped beef and mutton, and cooked them all into the pot.

Looking at Yuan Yuqing and Lin Maoqing, they have indeed worked hard during this period and they really need to make up for themselves.

Xu Wanning was about to go out with the pot when she saw Chef Shen and a few other people she was familiar with but couldn't name, looking at her with lewd smiles.

"doing what?"

"Comrade Xu, don't get me wrong, we are just curious to ask, what did you just do? It smelled so good!"

"Yes, Chef Shen's cooking skills are already very good, but when we smelled this smell just now, we felt that the food in our bowls was tasteless. We can't wait to take a bite of what you cooked."

Hearing this, Xu Wanning did not hide it, and said openly: "This is hot pot, the way of eating in Sichuan and Chongqing. In theory, hot pot should be eaten with shabu-shabu. For the sake of convenience, I cooked it all together. Do you want to eat this?"

"Well, I want to eat!"

"When I came here, I brought some hot pot base ingredients. When I get back, I will bring them to Chef Shen and tell him how to make hot pot. After he learns how to cook it, I will let him cook it for you."

It’s not convenient to eat hot pot, but it’s okay to eat spicy hotpot.

"Comrade Xu, thank you so much!"

"Thank you. You all work hard enough. You need to eat well to be healthy. I am also very happy to be able to provide you with food that satisfies you. I won't tell you now, so as not to worry about the contents of the pot waiting for a while. Yes. Chef Shen, I’ll come back to you later.”

"It's done, it's done!"

Xu Wanning carried a pot of spicy hotpot and went to Yuan Yuqing's dormitory. She met Lin Maoqing on the way and asked him to join her.

Yuan Yuqing was lying on the bed. When she heard the knock on the door, she immediately stood up and opened the door.

"Sister Wanning, what are you serving? It smells so good."

"Hold the stool and the bowl, you'll find out later."
