Chapter 264 The Bakery

In the blink of an eye, Li Yanyi has worked in the new company for a full week, and the family has already adapted to the pace of work and life here.

Although it is not as good as the power company, at least the job is stable and the place to live is not bad. All in all, she is very satisfied.

As usual, before seven o'clock in the morning, Li Yanyi and the three children got up, and there were only three people in the whole cafeteria for a handyman like her.

There are many things to do, so don't be diligent.

After waking up, Li Yanyi used the rice cooker to steam three large potatoes for breakfast for the children, and she herself drank two large bowls of water to pad her stomach.

After breakfast, the first thing is to boil water.

Dad Xu is relatively frugal, don't even think about bottled water, he can't afford to waste this money.

After going to work is the peak water consumption period, the three of them burned more than 20 barrels of water, and this is only the amount used in one morning.

More than 20 buckets of water are delivered to the various offices upstairs by cart, and the morning's work is over.

Next, they had to go to the office to collect lunch boxes, and collected more than 2000 lunch boxes in total.

Before eleven o'clock in the morning, all the lunch boxes should be heated in the cafeteria, and then at lunch time, most of the employees will come to pick up the meals.

Fortunately, they don't need to wash dishes after lunch, and the company doesn't have so much water to waste.

After lunch, the three boiled water again.

After delivering the water, the other two aunts clocked in and left work. After all, the main work in the cafeteria was done.

As for Li Yanyi, she only needs to heat up meals for a small number of people in the evening and at night, and the rest of the time is also free.

But she didn't waste the time.

In the kitchen, the company recently set up a bakery workshop and hired three master chefs. Whenever there is free time, Li Yanyi will go over to help.

There are also benefits to working in a bakery.

One is to learn skills. After all, the wages of bakers are two or three times higher than hers, and she also wants to make more money;
The second is what experiments the bakery is doing recently. There are often leftover bread. She can bring four or five loaves with her every time she comes back. The children especially like to eat them.

It's just that today, the bakery is a bit lively, even Mr. Xu and Mr. Ye came over in person.

……

In the afternoon, Dad Xu was working in the office.

Suddenly received a call saying that the bakery had developed the baguette, so he immediately called Ye Hui, and the two went to the kitchen to check the results.

"Master Ji, is this the baguette you developed?" Ye Hui asked while picking up a piece of bread.

These breads are indeed shaped like long sticks, no wonder they are called baguettes. Its overall color is darker, and there are four slits on the front. It is about the length of an adult's forearm, but thicker than the forearm.

Master Ji is the chief technician of the bakery. Before that, he himself was the owner of a small bakery. He has more than 30 years of experience in the bakery and is well-known in the surrounding areas.

"That's right, according to Xu Dong's request, we adjusted the raw material ratio of general bread, adding corn flour, mashed potatoes, sweet potato mash, wheat bran and bean curd residue. After several experiments, this time it is finally Live up to expectations."

"How's the taste?" Father Xu asked.

Master Ji smiled wryly and said, "The taste is hard to describe. Anyway, we have tried our best. To be honest, there is not much room for improvement."

"Xu Dong, let's have a taste together?"

Ye Hui forcefully tore off the baguette from the middle, and then handed half of it to Father Xu.

Father Xu nodded, and took the bread.

"Xu Dong, the bread is a bit hard, please chew slowly, Xiao Li, hurry up and pour Xu Dong a glass of water." Master Ji hurriedly ordered.

The big boss is not young, and his teeth must not be very good. If his teeth are broken, where can he find such a good job.

"Yes." Li Yanyi immediately poured a glass of water over and handed it to Xu Dong.

"Thank you." Father Xu said with a smile.

While speaking, Ye Hui had already taken a bite of the bread. To be honest, her first impression was that it was really not good. The bread was dry and tough, and it had no sweet taste. This was the worst bread she had ever eaten.

Dad Xu also felt the same way, if he didn't drink water, he couldn't even swallow a bite of bread.

"Master Ji, how much does this loaf of bread weigh?"

"No more, no less, exactly half a catty."

Master Ji continued to introduce: "We have done experiments, and a strong adult only needs two baguettes a day, which can guarantee the daily needs of the whole day.

For the elderly and children, a baguette is enough, and the feeling of fullness is very strong. It is much more affordable than simply eating potatoes or sweet potatoes, and it is more friendly to the stomach. "

Ye Hui thought about it, and then asked:
"What about the cost, roughly how many raw materials are needed for such a loaf of bread?"

"All the raw materials add up to about 200 grams, of which 50 grams are flour, and the rest are various other ingredients." Master Ji replied.

"How much tofu residue and wheat bran are there?" Dad Xu asked specifically.

"Tofu dregs and wheat bran are 30 grams each, the remaining corn flour is 15 grams, and mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes are a total of 75 grams."

Father Xu touched his chin, and then asked, "Then how are you going to exchange it?"

"Mr. Xu, after deducting all the costs, we think flour is exchanged for four loaves of bread, cornmeal is exchanged for three loaves, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are exchanged according to the official exchange ratio. This is more suitable and the most convenient calculation."

"How much profit can the cafeteria make?" Ye Hui asked directly.

"We roughly estimated that for every 5.00 loaves of bread sold, the cafeteria can save five loaves of bread, and the profit margin is about [-]%.

Of course, according to Xu Dong's request of zero profit, after deducting our wages and other raw materials, in fact, there is almost no real profit left.

Sometimes there will be a slight loss, but these losses are all cash expenditures. As for food, there will be no loss in any case. "

Father Xu looked at Ye Hui and explained, "Boss Ye, I didn't plan to make money from the employees when I started this bakery. Everyone's life is not easy."

"Xu Dong, I understand."

Ye Hui nodded. She is also a migrant worker herself, and no one wants to have a stingy boss on her head.

"Master Ji, if you work hard, how much bread can you make in a day?" Dad Xu asked after thinking about it.

"If the raw materials are sufficient, two thousand pieces per day is no problem."

Master Ji seems confident, mainly because the baguettes are easy to make and there are not so many bells and whistles in the production process.

Father Xu nodded: "Okay, before noon tomorrow, prepare 200 loaves of bread, let's see everyone's reaction first."

Speaking of which, the raw materials for making bread were all delivered by Xu Dong himself, including a total of 300 catties of flour, 500 catties of miscellaneous grains, and [-] catties of bean curd residue and wheat bran.

He knew that the baguettes would be very popular, and these were at most an advance investment, after all, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.
