Mrs. Zhou leaned over and took a look at the plan: "There are also teas, soups, porridge and drinks. How long will it take to train for so many things?"

"The porridge and soups are fine. They are similar to the porridges currently available. I just need to teach you one or two things that you don't know. As for the drinks, I will make them. As for the tea, I have already found the tea merchant and made an order with them.

There are all kinds of tea leaves, just let the head chef train the apprentices to make tea."

After hearing her plan, Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved after you said that. I'll learn to be a vegetarian later."

"We will continue our studies when we return home. Let's set up the oven in the backyard first." Gu Xiaoyou pointed at several items in the dry pastries and said, "These items can all be used in the oven."

"Okay, we have the materials, I'll get them right away." Mrs. Zhou nodded, rolled up her sleeves and got ready to start.

"My slaves are also here to help." Zhixia immediately stood up and followed Zhou's example of rolling up her sleeves.

Gu Xiaoyou was a little confused when she saw them rolling up their sleeves. Isn't this her signature move?

How come everyone has learned it?

Gu Xiaoyou put the brush away and rolled up his sleeves in a funny way: "Take me with you. Come together."

"Okay." Zhixia and Zhou responded, and together with Gu Xiaoyou, they pushed the cart to transport the materials to the backyard of the morning tea shop.

In the backyard, the new cooks were packing up the ingredients, and the cooks from the breakfast shop had all gone back to their shops to prepare for the evening meal.

When the new cooks saw Boss Gu and two other trained chefs pushing carts over, they quickly put down what they were doing and came to help.

The cooks helped build the oven, and the materials were transported to the backyard in two batches.

They looked at the pile of bricks and clay pushed in the backyard and asked very curiously: "Boss, are you building a house?"

"No, we want to make an oven." Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou had already begun to make peace, and replied without raising their heads.

"Oven?" The cooks looked at each other confused, not knowing what an oven was.

Gu Xiaoyou was too lazy to explain, and said perfunctorily: "You will know when we set it up."

"Then let's help." the cooks said.

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou agreed happily. It's a good thing to have someone to help.

"You come and move the bricks, and stack them up according to the line I drew, and add some clay. Oops, the bamboo strips are not used like that, they are made into arcs..."

In this way, Gu Xiaoyou directed everyone to work, and it took half an hour to set up two ovens.

The oven is slightly larger than the oven in the barbecue shop. Because it is used for drying food, it has been improved a bit. The original dome is replaced by a square shape.

Gu Xiaoyou has already ordered the iron rack and other necessary oven supplies in advance. As a VIP of Lu's Iron Shop, she has priority to make anything she orders.

Not only because Gu Xiaoyou often went to order things, but also because she always brought snacks from Xinqi Street when ordering things, which won the favor of the iron shop owner.

Gu Xiaoyou cleaned the oven and put the iron rack into the oven.

After the cooks finished setting up the oven, they became more curious and stood around watching.

After a while, Gu Xiaoyou set up the oven, and the cook from the breakfast shop came over after closing time.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they noticed the new gadgets in the yard. They stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what is this?"

"Oven." Gu Xiaoyou started to prepare the hot stove and stretched out his hand behind him: "Give me the fire folding paper and straw paper."

Zhixia knew as soon as she heard that Gu Xiaoyou was going to light a fire, so she quickly brought the fire folding paper and straw paper and handed them to her: "Miss, here they are for you."

"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou thanked him, balled up the tissue paper, lit it with a fire stick, and stuffed it into the stove.

Before she could speak, Zhixia had already handed over the firewood. Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows, praised her with his eyes, and then turned around to continue lighting the fire.

The fire on the stove started to burn quickly. Gu Xiaoyou turned it down to a low heat and reached out to poke around in the oven. There was already some heat on the bottom of the oven, but the top was still cold: "Let the oven preheat first."

Gu Xiaoyou stood up: "I'm going to order some ingredients and cook them once, and you will know how to use the oven."

"Yes." The cooks nodded and followed Gu Xiaoyou into the kitchen.

I saw her taking a few eggplants. After processing them, she spread oil paper on the iron plate, put the eggplants on it, and took out the iron plate.

Grilled eggplant is an oven-roasted food that cooks the fastest and is relatively simple to prepare.

Gu Xiaoyou was cooking and explaining at the same time, and the cooks listened attentively.

Soon the eggplants were ready in the oven. Gu Xiaoyou wore heat-proof gloves and took out the iron plate. The eggplants on the iron plate had an alluring aroma.

"Try them all."

Gu Xiaoyou distributed chopsticks to the cooks, and the cooks immediately came to the iron plate, each picked up a chopstick and tasted it.

"So tender."

"After baking it for so long, it was already dry. I didn't expect there was still moisture inside."

“The taste is so unique and delicious.”

"Boss, how did you come up with this? It's really amazing."

Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand: "I didn't come up with it, it was the ingenuity of the working people."

She didn't dare to take credit, she learned it all from the Internet.

"You are so humble." The cooks praised him and finished eating the eggplant.

Gu Xiaoyou waited for them to finish eating, then said: "This is the oven. I will ask Mrs. Tang to teach you how to master various heats tomorrow. You can try making eggplant when you have time. Of course, you are willing to try other foods.

I won’t stop you either.”

She looked at the sky: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After saying that, he took off his insulating gloves and hung them on the hook left on the oven wall. He waved to Zhixia and Zhou and left the backyard together.

As soon as the three of them left, the cooks began to circle around the oven.

"Let's try making an eggplant."

"Okay, let's put some potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on."

"I went to a barbecue restaurant to eat, and I can put meat in it."

"Do you know how to season? The barbecue shop can provide seasoning."

"Just do your own research, we are cooks, and it's not easy to prepare the ingredients."

"Let's go!"

"Okay." The cooks were still excited about the novelty of the oven, and they were studying the two ovens enthusiastically.

I spent the whole night working around the oven and cooking a lot of food.

The next day, when Gu Xiaoyou came to the backyard, he saw a pile of plates on the table with some food remains on them.

Some of them had something black and dark and unknown, some had half-cooked barbecue on some plates, and some had half-opened sweet potatoes on them. In short, it was a mess.

The pile of firewood next to the oven was still full when she left it last night, but now it was only half full.
Chapter completed!
