Today, all the stores of the three state-owned food factories sold less than 200 yuan worth of mooncakes in total.

The sales figures of their three factory outlets are laughable.

Because early in the morning, several people were loitering in front of their store, shouting that the Sandao Street Food Factory store was selling mooncakes without food coupons!

Or you could ask the Anshun Food Factory's retail store to buy mooncakes without needing grain coupons.

This is practically the same as going into their house and forcibly dragging the customer away.

They said they didn't need food coupons anymore, but the line was so long...

If it weren't for so many police officers, people would definitely have been injured in the crowd today.

They didn't sell enough mooncakes today.

Even though it was already past closing time, they were still queuing at the store and didn't want to leave.

They didn't leave until the salesperson promised there would be plenty of mooncakes and pastries for the next day.

Liang Hui felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.

How do they have so many mooncakes?

With so many mooncakes being sold, how can they possibly sell their own?

On the morning of the 12th day of the 8th lunar month, before the food factory's store even opened, dozens of middle-aged women were already lined up at the entrance.

The early autumn mornings are already cool, so the store manager said that starting tomorrow, business hours will be moved up by one hour until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when they will return to normal.

To avoid making everyone wait so long.

People's feelings are really at two extremes right now.

Some people find it extremely cold.

Some people, however, felt it was extremely hot.

Yesterday, many people bought mooncakes and took them home. They broke off a piece to taste and found it delicious. But when they broke off another piece, they found a different filling.

It's fluffy, soft, and sweet.

This tastes much better than mooncake filling with candied fruit and green onion.

Since we don't need food coupons yet, let's buy some more.

We only celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival once a year, so it's okay to buy an extra pound or two of mooncakes!

People came because they heard it was delicious, plus there were repeat customers and new customers.

The factory's trucks have been delivering goods all morning.

Even those stores sometimes run out of stock.

I really want to thank the officers at the police station; they helped maintain order and saved me a lot of trouble.

As Deputy Factory Director Deng watched truckloads of goods being driven out, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Chang Xiaohu's side not only sells mooncakes, but also other duck products, as if they're free.

The food processing plant mainly supplies orders from large manufacturers.

They haven't received a single order from the several state-owned factories that were placed out.

Their stores basically don't sell anything every day.

Today is the 13th day of the lunar calendar. After the 14th, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be on the 15th.

Mooncakes are usually sold out by the morning of the fifteenth.

That means there are still two and a half days left.

The First Food Factory could only watch helplessly as its warehouses were overflowing with mooncakes.

The same applies to the remaining two factory managers.

On the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, the three factory directors gathered together again.

The factory manager of the third factory suddenly asked, "Someone wanted to buy our mooncakes wholesale before. Did you really mean it was wholesale?"

The other two remained silent.

I've figured it out now, but it's too late.

Liang Hui: "How could they be so despicable!"

We should report it! But we have no evidence!

What can you report about them?

We voluntarily delivered large orders to their doorsteps.

"They only asked about our price, and then we couldn't reach an agreement, so they won't buy a single mooncake from us," said the factory manager of the third factory.

“They don’t want food coupons, isn’t that disrupting market order?” Liang Hui said.

"We've really angered them. Now they're going to make things difficult for us!"

I really didn't expect them to prepare so many raw materials!

Especially the filling!

The state-owned grain and oil processing plant, out of consideration for our long-standing relationship, wants to hold them back for a while.

They turned around and left without using a single pound of flour or an ounce of oil from the grain and oil processing plant.

We assumed they didn't even have the most basic raw materials, so what could they possibly do?

Actually, the wheat, peanuts, and soybeans they processed were processed at private grain and oil processing plants.

After being processed into flour and cooking oil, it was shipped directly out of Kyoto.

Their food processing plant is located outside Kyoto, and while we weren't even paying attention, they were working like crazy making mooncakes.

We've been too arrogant!

I saw the food processing plant bring all the raw materials back to supply the main plant and Anshun.

We have absolutely no doubts!

Where are you going?

The factory manager of the Second Food Factory stood up. "Go sell mooncakes! Every pound counts!"

However, our candied fruit mooncakes aren't as delicious as theirs.

I don't need food coupons anymore!

"How can we do without food coupons?"

"We have regulations!" Liang Hui said anxiously.

"The warehouse is full of mooncakes, all the regulations are worthless!" The factory manager of the Second Factory said and left.

...

Reality is cruel.

Even the retail outlets of state-owned factories no longer sell mooncakes without requiring ration coupons.

Very few people were able to go inside to buy mooncakes.

They all made the old-fashioned style of mooncakes.

The mooncakes made by Song Yan's factory are worlds apart from those made by Song Yan's factory.

Apart from the orders they received, the three state-owned food factories didn't sell many mooncakes at their retail outlets.

Several factory managers imagined that the Anshun Food Factory's Sandao Street Food Factory and its branch factory, unable to produce mooncakes due to a lack of raw materials, would definitely ask them for help.

Their retail stores don't sell mooncakes, while state-owned food factories can get a better deal in the retail sector.
