Pan Lanlan has really strong connections; all the necessary equipment for making cakes, such as mixers, is available on a pay-after-use basis.

When we were at the food factory, Xiaohu said that there wasn't much low-gluten wheat left.

Song Yan once emphasized that food must prioritize hygiene and safety.

They toured the factory and praised its cleanliness.

Workers must change clothes and shoes, and wear hats and masks before entering the workshop.

All facilities are equipped with running water for handwashing.

Smoking, removing hats, or removing masks while speaking are strictly prohibited in the food processing area.

The first offense results in a 10 yuan fine, the second offense in a fine plus a public notice, and the third offense results in dismissal.

The factory's rules and regulations are posted in a very conspicuous place.

Everyone is welcome to offer reasonable suggestions regarding the factory's planning. We can discuss this at Leopard's house after the tour.

People now feel that their food factory produces too few types of food.

Currently, we have large biscuits, waterless cakes, date cakes, and twisted dough sticks. We also have roasted sunflower seeds, roasted peanuts, and red dates.

So far, sales are going quite well.

Initially, they hired 16 people from the food factory. Six were educated youth who had returned to the city from the rubber factory, six were educated youth who had returned to the city from the street office, and Aunt Ji arranged four more people.

The gatekeeper, Gao Guohua, had specifically introduced him to the poorest family on their street. His daughter lived in another city, his son had died in an accident, and his daughter-in-law had remarried, leaving behind two children.

The old lady has no job, no pension, only her husband's pension. She supports the family and pays for her children's education. In addition, she has poor health and needs to take medicine, making her life extremely difficult.

The food processing plant currently employs 17 people, with a base salary starting at 15 yuan per month.

Others receive performance-based pay based on their workload.

Only the gatekeeper receives a fixed salary of 15 yuan.

When these people gathered together again, they listened to Xiaohu slowly introduce the current situation of the food factory.

Wei Aiguo suggested increasing the variety of food available.

Song Yan has made spiced melon seeds and spiced peanuts at home before, and they were both delicious. It's not difficult to make them.

Moreover, Song Yan can guarantee the supply of raw materials.

There aren't any large-scale vendors selling this product on the market yet. If they did make it, it would definitely be easy to buy.

If this thing is to be mass-produced, the problem is the production equipment.

Pan Lanlan hosted the dinner, and she was very hospitable. When she heard that there were no issues with the ingredients, she couldn't help but glance at Song Yan again.

The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't require coupons for sunflower seeds and peanuts, but they might not be available when you want to buy them!

At their stores, the supply of sunflower seeds and peanuts is very large.

Although the profit margin on sunflower seeds and peanuts processed by them is not large, the quantity is high. As a result, the profit can be quite considerable.

Xiao Hu knew how his second sister-in-law made spiced peanuts and melon seeds.

If they were to produce in large quantities, they would first need drying equipment.

Upon hearing about the need for drying equipment, Du Yu said she would give it a try.

Because in Jin Wu's jurisdiction, there is a No. 3 Machinery Equipment Factory. It seems to produce drying machines.

After everyone asked Song Yan to explain how spiced melon seeds are made, they discussed the machinery needed for mass production.

Xiao Hu took notes of everyone's opinions in his notebook.

Everyone has thought of increasing the variety of food, but what exactly to include still needs further research.

Now, two kinds of spiced melon seeds and spiced peanuts are listed.

Song Yan: "If we have drying equipment, can we make dried sweet potatoes?"

Du Yu: "Sometimes my relatives in the countryside will bring over the dried sweet potatoes they've been drying, so everyone can have a taste."

However, dried sweet potatoes are dry and hard, and you have to chew them slowly to bring out their sweetness. They taste pretty good, but people with bad teeth can't eat them.

Eating it occasionally is fine, but eating it all the time as a snack might not be enjoyable.

Song Yan: "I think it's because of the production process, and the moisture content of the sweet potato chips wasn't properly controlled, making them too hard."

I'll make some when I get home so you can try them!

Xiao Hu: "I've eaten the sweet potato chips made by my second sister-in-law. They not only have a very nice color, but they are also soft, chewy, delicious, and sweet."

"If we had a dryer, we could definitely make dried sweet potatoes."

Du Yu: "I've already come up with three things in this short time!"

Song Yan: "Could we find some experienced craftsmen and have them teach us how to make pastries?"

We can hire them, or we can buy the recipe directly for money.

"Oh right, how could I forget that!"

"It turns out that my neighbor is an old craftsman who retired from the food factory. His Changbai cake tastes better than anyone else's!" Pan Lanlan said with a sudden realization.

"I have another point to make regarding security."

Food safety and production safety are both crucial and cannot be ignored!

I see that several ovens are all operating at the same time. If we add a drying device, the power consumption will be extremely high.

"Xiao Hu, have you asked the power company to check our lines?" Song Yan asked.

Xiao Hu shook his head, "No, we don't have that." He hadn't even thought about it that way.

"Water and fire are merciless! No matter how big our company is, it will be destroyed."

We need to ensure electrical safety. And the oven should be checked regularly to ensure it's working properly. Should we hire a resident repairman?' Song Yan said.

Little Tiger nodded repeatedly.

Song Yan continued, "We're talking about food safety!"

Everyone was very disciplined and hygienic! But did we pay attention to safety issues in other aspects?

Our warehouse is currently overflowing with grain. If someone were to throw in just a few rats, we'd be in serious trouble.

The security guard was an old man; he was alright during the day, but completely useless at night!
