Chapter 168 Pre-prepared dishes

The pre-prepared dishes that Shen Qingyue mentioned were inspired by Senior Brother Chen Huai.

Pre-prepared meals are now a household name. Cooked and frozen dishes can be eaten by simply heating them in a pot, and they can restore most of their flavors!

Convenient and fast.

Moreover, the fact that Chef Liu did not serve any food also made Shen Qingyue think. If pre-prepared meals could be prepared, they could be heated up and eaten at any time.

You don’t have to worry about running out of food at any time.

Although this was the first time He Zhengchen had heard of the concept of pre-prepared meals, he thought it was a good idea: "I'll go back and talk to the director of the food factory about it."

Shen Qingyue said: "I also want to build a cold storage."

I have so many delicious foods at home right now that even a 600-liter freezer can't hold them all. I'm just going to install a cold storage and freeze whatever I want to eat, so I can stock up when the time comes.

He Zhengchen said, "There probably isn't anyone in the county who can do it. I can ask around in the provincial capital."

Shen Qingyue's eyes sparkled: "Thank you for your hard work."

With He Zhengchen by my side, it seems like any weird idea can come true.

He Zhengchen said: "As long as you are happy."

…

When Shen Qingyue's proposal reached the ears of the food factory, everyone was in disbelief. It was the first time they heard that dishes could be prepared in advance?

Before they started their own private factory, they had worked in the food industry in various industries, but they had never heard of anything like this.

Maybe it will become a new hot thing like sour plum paste.

They immediately agreed to the research and development since they were a private enterprise and were the type to take small steps and make rapid progress.

No matter what you want to do, you can start it immediately, which is more flexible than big manufacturers.

Chen Huai made the call. He contacted a few of his senior colleagues and asked if they were willing to make pre-prepared meals. The food factory would charge a buyout price of 3,000 yuan per dish.

Three thousand yuan is not a small amount even in the minds of these chefs.

At their age, with elderly parents and young children to support, it’s time to spend money. Three thousand yuan a dish is a very reasonable price.

It’s just that everyone still doesn’t know what pre-prepared meals are, and whether they are good or not, so we’re just considering it.

I contacted other brothers and sisters, and found out that they were selling happily.

Three thousand yuan for a dish is really a lot of money.

It won't affect them too much. Machines can't replace the subtle feelings of a chef over the years, so people will still come to eat what they want.

Just like that, all those people agreed and made appointments to come to the factory at different times to try out the dishes.

When they leave, they always take red envelopes with them.

The three thousand yuan was not paid by Shen Qingyue, but by the food factory.

Soon a special production line was opened here to make pre-prepared meals.

Currently, only one thousand pre-prepared meals can be produced every day, with a shelf life of six months. Shen Qingyue can collect them all now.

After Mr. Chen’s apprentices collected the money for the pre-prepared meals, they couldn’t help but tell their colleagues about it.

My colleagues were shocked. There was such a good opportunity: 3,000 yuan for just teaching a dish. They all asked about it, and some even volunteered to try cooking at the factory.

The food at the factory was exceptionally good during that time. We added Guizhou spicy chicken, cold rabbit meat, and eight new dishes.

The food factory currently has limited production capacity, and only produces one thousand portions a day, which is just enough for Shen Qingyue to digest, so there is no publicity.

But the sour plum paste from the food factory was a huge hit. Many people couldn't get their hands on it, so they would just come to the factory and wait.

As soon as the goods were loaded, the other party rushed forward to buy them. Since they had come here, they couldn't let them leave with an empty truck. So they could all take away some of the goods.

As the news spread, more and more people came to buy sour plum paste.

The factory changed the two-shift operation for making sour plum paste into a three-shift operation, and that was how they added a few more production lines.

But the pre-prepared meals in the factory are cooked by machines, which is no different from what a chef would do.

The fragrance is so strong.

The people who came outside to grab the sour plum paste didn't want to eat, but their stomachs were rumbling.

I quickly asked the factory leader I knew what this was.

The food factory leader said mysteriously: "This is the latest secret product of our factory's research, pre-prepared meals." Then he explained what pre-prepared meals are.

Everyone was shocked.

Is this still possible? This is the first time I've heard of it.

I also want to buy some to eat myself.

The factory manager agreed, ordering twelve boxes per box. They also suggested adding more popular flavors like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Cold Rabbit, and Guizhou Spicy Chicken, which they would buy for themselves.

With the recent advent of pre-prepared meals, the factory has ordered more than 20 household refrigerators.

Refrigerators are in great demand on the market right now, and only orders placed by manufacturers can ensure faster delivery.

They all work in the factory and bought a refrigerator specifically for pre-prepared meals.

It's true, buying it can solve your meal problem. Although pre-made meals can't compare to what a chef makes.

But it’s already delicious here!

Anyway, these leaders in the factory don’t go out to eat anymore, so they ordered five or six pieces of goods and said they would keep them for themselves to eat slowly.

At most, I will send some to relatives and friends to let them know what they have been busy with after resigning from big companies and starting their own businesses.

Pre-prepared meals are so good.

No one who has eaten it has said that it is not delicious.

Shen Qingyue's cold storage was also completed, covering an area of ​​800 square meters at the end of the village. It was under guard by a dedicated person.

Even in the hot summer, you can feel the chill as soon as you enter the cold storage, which is just right for storing things.

With this, you will never think that your refrigerator is too small.

The first thing Shen Qingyue did was to call on people to make more smoked meat pancakes.

This thick pancake uses lard when kneading the dough. It has a nice flavor when baked, and it has a thick, chewy texture. It's delicious no matter what you wrap it in!

There are more than 3,000 people in the steel plant, and it is difficult to satisfy everyone.

Compared with the smoked pork pancake, even spicy hot pot has to take a back seat.

The last time Shen Qingyue made pancakes, half of the people didn't eat enough, and the other half didn't eat enough. It can be said that it was 100% praised!

This time, Shen Qingyue let them go, and since the cold storage was already built, there was no need to worry about the leftovers spoiling.

In Shen Qingyue's courtyard, the kitchen was busy kneading dough, rolling out dough, and making pancakes. They were running low on lard, so they bought more fat to make lard!

Soon the pancakes were stacked up on oil-paper sheets and placed in a large bamboo basket. A basket could hold over three hundred pancakes, and they had only baked three baskets so far, so they were busy.

Shen Qingyue and He Zhengchen drove back to the steel mill. This time, as soon as they arrived, the steel mill came looking for them.

As soon as Shen Qingyue and He Zhengchen arrived, the conference room was full of smoke, and they didn't know how long it had been smoking.

The logistics director said, "Here." He used public funds to buy them each a brand new BP machine. He was just worried he wouldn't be able to contact them!

The logistics director said, "The house is basically finished, just needing to connect the water and electricity. I'll ask the housing management to assess and measure it. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Although building a building in the factory is a good thing, for them it is also a process of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

This was a first, and we were worried something might go wrong. There was a lot of debate at the factory about what to do with the house, whether to divide it up or sell it.

The factory director thought of Shen Qingyue and He Zhengchen.

He Zhengchen had traveled a lot and seen a lot of the world, and then he said some things that were very helpful to them.

Shen Qingyue had a quick mind and could grasp the pulse of the times in many things. That was why she was so anxious to invite them here.

But the cafeteria is also very busy, so you never see these two people.

The factory manager suggested buying them pagers.

After seeing these two people, I finally understood the county leader's idea. It is such a waste of talents to let them do kitchen work!

Shen Qingyue said: "A lot of people are paying attention to this matter now. Why don't we sell them in batches and distribute them in batches. If we want to sell them, we can sell them now!"

"But the house isn't finished yet." They were all honest people from the 1980s, and they just wanted to finish building it before letting people pick and choose.

Shen Qingyue explained the pre-sale method to everyone. If you want to buy it, you can act quickly. Otherwise, it will be gone by the time you buy it!

Everyone was a little excited, and Shen Qingyue further talked about the issue of pre-sales.

The leaders present understood more and more as they listened. They heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We feel at ease now that you're here. Shen Qingyue, why don't you run the office? We've been using you quite a lot lately."

The factory pays them wages.

Shen Qingyue declined: "We have a BP machine now, it won't delay anything important."
