Chapter 63 Biscuit Factory
After Zhang Fuzhen returned home, Mrs. Zhang repeated the old saying, asking Zhang Fuzhen to pick up Miss Wu's family. Zhang Fuzhen hadn't recovered from the joyful atmosphere of the Hu family, which made him the first person in history. Had a quarrel with my mother for the first time.

Zhang Fuzhen sneered and said: "I just gave that good head to a girl, and I'm going to please another girl. I'm afraid the head of the Chunhong Court is not as busy as I am."

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You are a son of a family, how can you use yourself as such a metaphor. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but for a woman to be like this is a man who can be a husband."

Zhang Fuzhen was speechless for a moment, and a wave of breath rose and fell in his chest for a long while, but finally he couldn't calm down the breath, and there was no one in the left and right rooms, so he said in a muffled voice: "Then if father has three wives and four concubines, mother, what should you do?" ?”

Mrs. Zhang was furious when she heard the words, she slapped the table and said: "Your son uses your mother as an example. Is this what you read in the sage books?"

Mrs. Zhang stroked her chest out of breath, and sat on the grand teacher's chair to rest for a long time. Zhang Fuzhen stood aside and kept silent, but the stubborn look on his face showed that his heart was on this matter. It means never giving in.

Mrs. Zhang saw that her son was still stubborn and unrepentant, and she thought, this matter should not be discussed with Zhang Fuzhen. pass.

After thinking about it, he took two deep breaths, suppressed his xinxing, slowed down his tone, and said:

"I know that you are very satisfied with Miss Hu, and I also want you to marry Miss Hu, but your father's consideration is different from that of you, my wife and children, and this marriage was made by your father before he left for the capital. Yes, he also needs to take care of your future, and besides, although your father only married me, your grandfather was a rich man in the top ten in Huainan Road. I have such a family background. I am married to a family like your father, and I am still married. Naturally, your father will not marry three wives and four concubines. Those famous things, but before I gave birth to your brother, couldn't your grandparents couldn't help but want your father to marry Xiaokaizhisanye? If you didn't have you earlier, I'm afraid these things would have been difficult to protect, so parents all over the world are On the other hand, with a family background like Mrs. Hu's, even being a concubine to you would be a high bid. Your father saw that you and I really liked that girl before he allowed it. Even though Mrs. Hu has already refused, in order to fulfill your wishes, I'm still helping you win people's hearts, but you still don't know what to do, it really makes me sad."

After all, he shook his head in desperation and moaned again and again.

Hearing these words, Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help but calm down his anger, went over and bowed to the end, apologized to Mrs. Zhang, and said: "The son is also in a hurry and speaks out of choice, please punish him."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Punishment is unnecessary, you just need to go to the Wu residence to pick up Miss Wu."

Zhang Fuzhen thought about it for a moment, and said: "I'm afraid I can't pick it up, so let Zhang An run again, just say that I feel cold occasionally, and it's inconvenient to go out, but a gentleman has faith, so I will send someone around me to do it for me, please." Forgive me from the Wu family, if Miss Wu finds it strange and refuses to come, please wait until I recover before picking me up in person."

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes and put her hands on her forehead. She felt that her mind was in a mess. She knew that this was probably her son's bottom line, so that was all she could do. As for whether the Wu family would come , then it depends on God's will.

Let’s talk about the subject of refining natural preservatives researched by Yang Feier and two assistants. Finally, after the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a new development. The effective substances are extracted from bamboo leaves, tea leaves, licorice, ginger, and garlic by distillation and purification. Adding it to biscuits can extend the shelf life by six months. Although it is not as long as the years of chemical preservatives in the previous life, it is not a small breakthrough, and it is safe and harmless.

The preservatives extracted this time can be made into tasteless additives, and can also retain the special taste. Four types of biscuits with bamboo flavor, tea flavor, ginger flavor and garlic flavor have been developed. After being launched on the market, Popular with loyal fans of Phil Sweet.

As early as the opening of the branch store, merchants from other places kept inquiring about whether they could buy goods and sell them in other places. They were all merchants who came to Fucheng to buy cloth, ready-made garments, ceramics, and wine. They saw that there were new products in Fucheng. , has become popular in Fucheng for a while, and I smelled business opportunities from it, and wanted to bring these varieties back to the counties and towns below for sale, but it has been difficult to achieve due to the problem of shelf life, but every shop in Phil Tiantian has not refused. Leave a message, we are researching the preservation method, once we find out the method, we can ship in batches, and an announcement will be displayed at the door of the store, please pay attention.

So all the merchants were looking forward to it, but after waiting for half a year, when everyone was hopeless, they suddenly found that the door of the five stores of Phil Tiantian had posted an investment notice on September 22. The first batch Merchants flocked to them. On the first day after the notice was posted, one-tenth of the inventory was sold, three-tenths were sold on the second day, and four-tenths were sold on the third day... Incrementally, five days and so on will sell out a total of 5000 varieties of cakes, bread, biscuits, cookies, jelly, Shaqima, etc., and more than [-] catties.

The five stores have run out of stock. Yang Feier and the store managers of the five stores held an emergency meeting with Mr. Hu and Hu Yongqiang. As of today's 28th, the purchase order has reached [-] catties, and he dare not make promises to the merchants for the time being. As for the supply time, the daily output of the training center is only [-] catties, and the daily output of each store is barely enough for consumption in their own stores.

Yang Feier did not expect the sales to be so fast, just like the unprecedented grandeur when Feier Tiantian first opened. People put food first. It seems that it is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. The desire for appetite is the biggest. I still estimated too conservatively, which led to being so caught off guard now.

But since the matter is imminent, we have to find a way to solve it. The meeting on that day formulated an emergency plan: first, each store posted notices at the store entrance and nearby eye-catching places, recruiting 15 workers, aged from 40 to [-] years old, male or female, No disabilities, no serious diseases, literate people are preferred, with a monthly salary of [-] cash.Those who pass are sent to the training center in a unified way, and then handed over to the six trainees who stay in the training center for intensive training, and it is estimated that they will be able to work in one month.Second: Find a factory site that can be used for production, repair, clean and disinfect.Third: Purchase and customize various production supplies.Fourth: Dong Ningxuan and Bai Qingtong are responsible for refining preservatives, and they are equipped with four assistants.Fifth: Customers who have promised to pay the deposit will start to supply goods with quality or quantity one month later according to the order of the deposit payment.

There are several store managers who are responsible for the recruitment. Hu Yongqiang and Mr. Hu went out to inquire about the venue. In principle, the closer to the training center, the better. In the production room, since mass production is now required, all production tools must be assembled according to the production process line. The oven and oven must be specially customized. Drawings must be drawn, and each part must be handed over to the blacksmith shop to be printed and transported to the factory building. Assembling, Yang Feier has to do everything by himself.

Jinming Lane is full of courtyard houses, either privately owned by rich people, or by merchants or officials with small fortunes in Fucheng. After this year, one of the outdoor houses is pregnant. Someone came to beat the woman to death, but no one reported it to the officials, and only paid some money to settle the matter.

This courtyard is considered an unlucky place, and the owner sold it at a low price. The sign has been hung on the gate so far, and no one has bothered to ask about it. One is because everyone in this alley knows about it, and the other is that the real estate economic activities of the ancients were relatively infrequent. Active, housing transactions are not frequent, so it has not been sold so far.

Hu Yongqiang, Mr. Hu, discussed with Yang Feier whether to buy this yard. Yang Feier is a modern person who does not believe in these so-called evil theories. This yard is also in Jinming Lane, only 300 meters away from Hu’s house and the training center, and the price is also cheap, only 600 taels of silver, only that one is not good, so I don’t think about it, it’s a pity, I have been thinking about it for two days , and finally decided to buy the yard.

This yard is on the same side as the training center.The structure is similar to that of Hu's house, with a perimeter of 60 meters long and a width of 50 meters. There are seven main rooms, ten east and west wing rooms, two kitchens, two toilets, nine back rooms and nine inverted rooms.There is also a sweet water well behind the kitchen gable.

After buying the yard, according to Yang Feier's design, all the original seven main rooms were opened up, and brick columns were erected on both sides and in the middle for support, and five production lines were installed in the house.

There used to be a hanging flower door, which was left in the way, so it was dismantled. After entering the gate, you stepped straight into the courtyard, without a barrier, which is convenient for carriages and horses to enter and exit.

There were two acacia trees and two gardenia trees in the middle of the courtyard. Hu Yongqiang and several others dug up the trees and sold them, leaving an empty and spacious courtyard, which is convenient for small carts to enter and exit.

These small trolleys are customized by Yang Feier in the car dealership based on the drawings, which are convenient for transporting raw materials and finished products to and from the workshop and warehouse.A wide driveway was built in the middle of all the steps, the back cover room and the inverted room were used as warehouses, two of the inverted rooms were used as canteens, the seven main rooms were used as the main workshop, the west wing room was used as a packaging workshop, and the east wing room The two rooms in the south are men's and women's changing rooms and disinfection rooms. Workers entering the workshop uniformly wear white one-piece overalls, fully enclosed work caps, masks, wash hands, gloves, and deep shoe covers.The three rooms in the north are used as inspection rooms, and all finished products are inspected in batches before they are put into storage, and then shipped to the warehouse after passing the test.Sixty workers work in three shifts, every four hours, and the three shifts can take a [-]-hour break for lunch in the middle, no matter whether it is morning or evening.

Everything was ready, on the eighth day of November, a long whip was placed at the door, and the factory was listed to start operation. The plaque on the door said "Phil Sweet Biscuit Factory", and a new door couplet was pasted on the door. The upper couplet was "Recipe Chenggui , and can’t make up for it with inferior quality, and be sloppy with famous brands.” The second line is “although the operation is complicated, but I dare not save labor and effort, and tarnish the best quality”, and criticize “safety and hygiene”.

Yang Feier heard the sound of firecrackers exploding in the yard, so he asked the workers to push out a box of biscuits and a box of jelly from the workshop, and scattered them at the door for the children onlookers to loot them. The in-laws picked a lot of peach branches from nowhere, cut them into three-inch lengths, tied them with red strings, and hung them in dark places such as corners and eaves to ward off evil spirits.

After the factory began to operate normally, Yang Feier also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the biscuit factory is not technically complicated, and there are so many staffs. Otherwise, how could it be completed in just one month?

Gradually approaching the end of the new year, the merchants who came to Fucheng to buy goods became more and more diligent, and even brought merchants from other places. The neighboring Henan Road, Shannan Road, Huainan Road, and Jiangnan Road have large merchants coming to buy goods one after another, and the orders placed are tens of thousands. Jin, looking at the situation now, we added three more production lines and [-] more workers to deal with these orders anyway.
