Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

When Yang Yujun led Shen Dong to the dairy factory, the factory gate was already in complete chaos.

It turned out that after Liu Gui led the people from the commune to the factory, members from several supply and marketing cooperatives in the surrounding area, such as Shahe Commune and Qianjin Commune, also sent people over.

With the market booming and production surging, supply and marketing cooperatives from the surrounding areas flocked to the area, but little did they expect that trouble would break out just as they were increasing their orders.

"We demand an explanation today: why did this happen?!"

"Yes, we're not leaving today unless we get an explanation. Our supply and marketing cooperative is surrounded anyway."

Yang Yujun's face quickly darkened. He pushed through the crowd and walked forward, with Shen Dong following closely behind.

They soon arrived at Liu Gui's office.

The production team members were all in the office. Liu Zhenghua and Yang Zhengjun had their heads drooping, and Liu Zhenghua was even trembling slightly.

"I called Shen Dong over."

"I...I...I did exactly what Xiao Shen taught me, it has nothing to do with me!"

Liu Zhenghua strained her voice, her tone trembling, and she almost burst into tears.

"Now is not the time to discuss who is responsible; we need to find out the cause of the problem first," Shen Dong interrupted sternly. "Do you have any yogurt? Bring me a can."

Someone immediately handed it over, and Shen Dong took it, scooped up a spoonful, and examined it carefully.

"How much sucrose was added?"

"5...5...5...5 taels," Liu Zhenghua stammered in reply.

"How much exactly?" Shen Dong's eyes pierced through her like sharp swords. Liu Zhenghua dared not look him in the eye, her face deathly pale, unable to speak, her body trembling like a leaf.

Shen Dong turned his head away from her and said to Yang Zhengjun, "Did you bring the notebooks you used to take notes? Let me see."

Yang Zhengjun hurriedly took out the notebook.

Shen Dong quickly flipped through the pages, pointing to a particular line and saying, "Why does it say 7 taels here? I clearly said 5 taels!"

Liu Zhenghua seemed to have made up her mind. She had been trembling just moments before, but upon hearing Shen Dong's question, she retorted in a shrill voice, "It was you who said that 5 liang would be slightly less sweet, and 7 liang would be more to most people's taste. Isn't that what you said?"

"I said it!" Shen Dong stood up straight and looked directly at Liu Zhenghua's rebuke.

"Director, you see, I told you I was right, it's all Xiao Shen's fault!"

"Then I went on to say that we can't do that now because the conditions aren't right, and our microbial community isn't perfect yet." Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Shen Dong remained unmoved and calmly replied.

Did you automatically filter out my next sentence?

Liu Zhenghua was about to retort, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say a word.

She did filter it automatically. When she heard that 7 liang was better, and knowing that she was going to be among the first to learn the recipe, she got the idea and deliberately wrote 7 liang. Unexpectedly, it actually caused a problem.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Liu Zhenghua suddenly grabbed at a straw and pointed at Tang Yue in the crowd, saying, "It's her! It's Tang Yue's fault! She clearly saw what we did, and when she found out we made a mistake, she didn't say anything to stop us. She deliberately let the problematic yogurt leak out."

Tang Yue's face flushed red with anger. She took a step forward and rebuked in a clear voice, "That's utter nonsense! Utter rubbish!"

Then he walked up to Liu Gui, stared at him, and asked, "Director Liu, after Shen Dong left the day before yesterday, what did you say to us? Do you remember?" Before Liu Gui could speak, he said to himself, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I'll help you recall."

(Liu Gui: I didn't say I don't remember!)

"Director Liu came over and said that because everyone was focused on production, there was no one to do a lot of work outside, so he asked us to clean up. Yes, that was the first batch of four of us."

"So, Aunt Liu, think about it again. Were we really there when you were making yogurt?"

All eyes immediately focused on Liu Gui.

Yang Yujun's face was so dark it seemed to drip water. He stared intently at Liu Gui, his eyes filled with rage: "Liu Gui, you tell me, why did you arrange things this way! Liu Zhenghua and the others have just learned, and instead of letting Comrade Tang Yue guide them, you're making them do other things. You really know how to arrange things!"

Liu Gui's face was deathly pale. Despite the temperature being in the teens, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he trembled, unable to utter a single word.

"Get out!" Yang Yujun slammed his hand on the table, his roar making the windows rattle.

Liu Gui naturally dared not actually go out; he didn't even dare to move his feet.

"You better think carefully about how to resolve this situation outside. Go and give them an explanation in two minutes. If you can't do it, then I'll give you an explanation."

Liu Gui, with a mournful face, wiped the sweat from his face, glanced around and fixed his eyes on Shen Dong, his gaze pleading.

Shen Dong ignored him; he was achieving his goal, so why would he make a move?

Seeing this, Liu Gui knew he had no choice but to bear it himself, so he gritted his teeth and shuffled towards the factory gate.

When they saw Liu Gui come out, they assumed that a final agreement had been reached and gathered around him.

Silence fell over the surroundings as everyone waited for Liu Gui to speak.

"We just found the cause of the problem. It was caused by adding a little too much of one of the ingredients in the recipe. As long as we restore the amount to the previous level, there will be no problem. So please rest assured, tomorrow's yogurt will definitely be fine."

"What about the sales from the last few days?"

"Yes, refund!"

Liu Gui bowed repeatedly and said in a mournful voice, "Our dairy factory will not ignore everyone's losses, but as you all know, our factory has only recently resumed production and we really cannot afford to pay up right now. How about this, on behalf of the factory, I promise that we will definitely pay off this loss by the end of next year at the latest. Please trust us and give us another chance."

"There's no other way. Our factory employees haven't been paid for several months. Everyone is suffering. The factory really can't go under!" Liu Gui said sincerely, his voice choked with emotion.

Liu Gui's performance did have an effect, and the murmurs in the crowd gradually subsided.

Everyone just wanted an explanation and compensation. Seeing that Liu Gui took all the responsibility and promised compensation, they stopped making trouble.

"Okay, we'll trust you one more time. We'll come pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon."

"If there are any more problems, we won't be so lenient!"

The crowd dispersed, grumbling and cursing, and the chaos at the factory gate finally subsided. Old Huang took a stool and sat at the gate to prevent anyone from causing trouble again.

Yang Yujun stood on the second floor, looking out the window at the empty doorway, and sighed heavily.

He said wearily to the group, "Everyone, go back first. Xiao Shen, stay here."

After everyone had left, Yang Yujun turned around, looked at Shen Dong with a face full of guilt, and thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Shen, I'm entrusting the dairy factory to you. Can you manage it well for me?"
