The reporter and the cameraman also realized: "Looking at it this way, two yuan and fifty cents is indeed not expensive."
Lin Yu wanted to advertise the canned goods, so she talked a bit more.
"The transportation costs for these fruits are not cheap, and we select the best quality ones to put into canning. Every can is made with care."
Reporter Chen said with a smile, "Hearing you say that, I'm even more tempted to buy more."
Lin Yu generously said, "I'll send you two a few bottles later so your families can try them."
Reporter Chen quickly refused: "How could I accept this? These are such valuable items. Keep them and sell them. The villagers have it tough too."
Lin Yu was satisfied. This reporter understood the hardships of the workers and was a compassionate person.
Lin Yu was no longer worried that he would write nonsense when he got back.
Although the two refused, Lin Yu planned to secretly slip them the canned food when they were about to leave.
This is how you treat guests, so it doesn't count as bribery, right?
Lin Yu then took out two jars of lychee preserves and introduced them: "These are two flavors, one is sweeter, and the other has a stronger lychee flavor."
"There's a way to eat it that people who don't really like sweet things can pour the broth into a bowl, add some water, and it becomes a slightly sweet syrup."
What Lin Yu described was similar to instant beverages in later generations, which was very convenient.
Reporter Chen nodded: "It's suitable to serve to guests."
He wrote down the steps, intending to share them with readers later.
The two then watched the process of processing nectarines. The canned peaches also tasted good, and they both liked them after trying them.
The cameraman added, "Next time, I'll have the mother buy some peaches too; the child should like them."
Lin Yu said, "This isn't as sweet as canned yellow peaches, the taste is quite different, and it's very popular."
They also have to thank the foundation laid by canned peaches, as people have a high acceptance of canned peaches.
People who have tried their canned peaches from their factory almost always buy them again.
After all, people still prefer novelty, and changing the flavor of a fruit makes the taste more diverse.
After introducing the product, reporter Chen began interviewing the workers.
Lin Yu could tell that he was more interested in people like farmers and workers.
He is a person who gets things done and cares about people's livelihood.
During the interview, reporter Chen was even more surprised: "Are you all from other brigades?"
Before coming here, he had only heard that the factory was quite large, but he thought that it was just a factory run by a brigade, how could it be comparable to a large factory?
Surprisingly, this factory also took in many workers from surrounding brigades.
This is a true community-run factory.
In each brigade of Qingshan Commune, there are workers working in the factory.
The workers in the cannery came from Niutou Brigade, Dongshan Brigade, Dongfeng Brigade...
Did you come by yourselves?
The workers said, "The team selected us, and then we came here for interviews."
After learning about the selection criteria, reporter Chen remarked, "Director Lin, I've discovered that your rules and regulations are even stricter than those of the big factories."
There are many people with connections in large state-owned factories, but this factory actually selects employees based on merit.
And surprisingly, none of the officers in these brigades had any objections?
Lin Yu shrugged: "We started as a small workshop. Everyone had to work. How could we afford to employ idle people?"
"It was the same after the factory was built. People who came in to retire without working were not tolerated."
The local brigades were aware of the factory's situation, so the brigade leaders naturally wouldn't cause any trouble for the factory.
In case the factory goes out of business and they lose their jobs.
Lin Yu sighed, "Everyone cherishes this factory."
It was this expectation that everyone placed in the food factory that filled Lin Yu with strength.
She made up her mind early on to work with everyone to make the food factory bigger and stronger.
With everyone working together, no one is allowed to hold us back.
Therefore, there are no people who get in through connections to retire.
Even if they did, they would be kicked out.
In the end, it will be the people behind him who will lose face.
Reporter Chen was repeatedly shocked by the food factory workers, and his thoughts kept changing.
"Today's visit has truly broadened my horizons."
Lin Yu said with a smile, "If you stay a few more days, you might discover even more surprises."
Reporter Chen originally planned to leave after the interview, but now it seems that there are indeed many surprises he hasn't discovered yet.
So he said, "Then let's stay for two more days."
Lin Yu: "Then you can stay at our house. If the dormitory hadn't been built yet, you could have stayed there."
Reporter Chen: "Are you planning to build dormitories?"
Although Lin Yu didn't have enough money, he still had to boast: "We do have this plan. Some of the workers from other brigades live far away and need a place to rest."
"Now that there are more and more workers, we have to consider their needs too."
Reporter Chen remarked, "Your factory is truly a place with a human touch."
"If the dormitories are really built, can I come and take another look?"
He wanted to know what the future held for this factory.
Lin Yu naturally agreed. No matter how difficult it was to build the dormitory building, she would do it one day.
After leaving the cannery, Chen and his colleague followed Lin Yu back to the office.
After resting for a while, he began interviewing employees.
Most of the office staff were educated youth sent to the countryside.
The topic of them is now a focus of public attention.
The Chinese have a saying: "To praise, first criticize."
Reporter Chen thought he would focus on these educated youth, but he didn't expect that the workers he interviewed first had already given him a lot of inspiration.
