The closer you get, the stronger the stench becomes.
Fu Wan held her breath, put a piece of fish in her mouth, and the stench made her frown instantly.
However, after the pungent smell comes an irresistible spicy flavor that makes you want to have another piece.
This new flavor is interesting!
"Factory manager, how is it? Not bad, right?"
Qian Zhiming looked at Fu Wan with hope, fearing she might say something negative.
Accountant Xiao and Chen Guifang, who were standing to the side, were very curious. Accountant Xiao admired Fu Wan very much.
No wonder he's the factory manager; even though he's younger than me, he just ate something that smelled so bad.
Fu Wan forked another piece of fish and put it in her mouth. She had to admit that the fish smelled really bad at first, but once the smell dissipated, it was actually quite delicious.
"It's not bad, would you like to try some?"
Chen Guifang waved her hands repeatedly. After thinking for a moment, Accountant Xiao gritted his teeth and picked up a toothpick to try a piece.
After tasting it to the end, her eyes lit up, and she nodded affirmatively, "The taste is good, and it's quite fragrant at the end."
These repeated affirmations instantly made Qian Zhiming proud. "I told you, this flavor of fish is absolutely delicious. You guys weren't willing at first, but humph, I wouldn't even want to give it to other people!"
Fu Wan put down the toothpick and casually asked, "Uncle Qian, how did you suddenly develop this flavor?"
"Haha, isn't it because our canned goods and other products are all original, spiced, spicy and numbing? I went back to my hometown a while ago, and my grandma's stinky tofu is amazing. I was thinking that if I made the canned fish in that flavor, some people would probably like it!"
No wonder Fu Wan nodded in agreement.
"We can try this flavor and set up a production line to make it, but don't make too much at first, as consumers may not be used to it."
Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... It will definitely be difficult to sell at the beginning. We can try sending a few bottles to customers who have placed orders, and then distribute them in large quantities once they accept them."
"As I said before, pay attention to costs and don't produce too much stock and end up with excess inventory."
Qian Zhiming was overjoyed. To be honest, he was really worried that the old-fashioned Wang Jianmin would reject such a novel flavor outright.
Now that Fu Wan has made the decision, even if Wang Jianmin dislikes the taste, he still has to put it into production.
"Okay, I'll talk to Lao Wang when he gets back!"
Qian Zhiming was in an extremely good mood. Fu Wan opened the office doors and windows to let in some fresh air. The smell was too strong. Even though they could eat, with this smell around, it was difficult for everyone to work.
"By the way, when Uncle Wang comes back, you can tell him that the workers in charge of the new flavor production line will receive an extra ten yuan subsidy each month. If anyone can't stand the taste, they can apply to switch production lines."
Production is production, but we can't let workers get injured on the job. In particular, some people are sensitive to smells, and if they have to sit there to work, it's no different from slow torture.
The smell dissipated quickly after the window was opened.
Accountant Xiao and Chen Guifang brought out all the factory's financial statements from the past few days. Fu Wan was flipping through them when Fu Ming ran in.
"Ah Wan, sister-in-law, is there any water to drink?"
"Yes, I'll pour it for you!"
Chen Guifang immediately agreed, and Accountant Xiao stood up, "I can do it, you can sit down!"
"No need, no need, I can do it myself."
Fu Ming spotted the teapot immediately. As he poured water, he sniffed the air and asked, "Why does this place smell so bad?"
"Go find Uncle Qian, he has good food."
Fu Wan didn't even look up as she made the joke, still flipping through the stack of documents in her hand.
Overall, the cannery's profits are still decent, but profit growth has been a bit slow in the last two months. Fu Wan knows the reason: in just the last six months, six factories similar to the Five Star Cannery have opened in the Longhai area.
This is normal. Five-star canned food factories and food factories set a precedent and made money from it, so others naturally want a piece of the pie.
To be honest, Fu Wan didn't care. As long as they didn't use the same underhanded tactics as that old knock-off cannery, she welcomed competitors to enter the market.
The presence of competitors stimulates the market, making it more dynamic.
Moreover, with so many regular customers, canneries and food factories can still make a considerable profit in the short term.
Moreover, since they already have their own products in Shanghai, Fu Wan also has an intention to open up the Beijing market.
She's already chosen the location—the shop where someone impersonated the landlord. Once the clothing store moves out, she'll renovate it and only sell products from the Five Star Canned Food Factory.
"Brother, where are Jack and the others?"
Fu Wan looked up and asked, while Fu Ming finished the water in his cup in one gulp.
“Ah Lin was also working in the warehouse.”
"Are they really working?"
Fu Wan looked up in surprise, while Fu Ming was speechless. "How could that be? Jack knows Brother Lin, and he's catching up with him right now."
Tom and Robert were curious about the goods in the warehouse. After packing some boxes, they wandered around aimlessly. I followed them around worrying for ages, and it exhausted me!
Everyone says taking care of kids is tiring, but taking care of these three big brothers who find everything fascinating is even more tiring.
However, Tom, Robert, and the other two were still sensible. Even though they were curious, they only looked around and did not cause any trouble.
Fu Ming drank two glasses of water before he felt his throat, which had been burning, was much better.
After recovering, Fu Ming was in the mood for gossip again.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that a wild boar came down from the mountain a few days ago, is that true?"
"A wild boar?" Fu Wan also looked over.
Chen Guifang nodded, looking terrified, and said, "It's true. The night before last, I went back with your brother, and the village dogs barked all night."
I found it strange; this morning, my mother told me that wild boars had destroyed a lot of crops at the foot of the mountain. Luckily, Ye Jun had dogs and a hunting rifle, otherwise the wild boars would definitely have broken in.
“After that night, Dad went over and stayed with Ye Jun to guard the area. Brother Alin was afraid that the wild boar would rush into the village and scare me, so he told me to sleep in the dormitory for the next few days and go back after my father-in-law and the others have killed the wild boar.”
The gossip was confirmed, and Fu Ming was not only not afraid, but also somewhat eager to try it out.
"There really are wild boars! I just heard Da Linzi mention it, and I thought he was bragging!"
Then he looked at Fu Wan and said, "Wan, why don't we go to the village and help your uncle?"
Fu Wan rolled her eyes at him.
"What help are you talking about? That's a wild boar! We don't know anything about this stuff. If we go over there, we'd be lucky if we didn't cause trouble for my uncle, let alone help him!"
Chen Guifang chuckled to herself and nodded in agreement.
“That makes sense. When a wild boar goes berserk, it can knock down a wall. I saw it once from afar. That wild boar chased after people and scared me so much that I lost my shoes.”
Chen Guifang was a city girl who had never seen anything like this before she went to the countryside. When the wild boar chased after her, if Ye Lin hadn't been there and used his hoe to stop it, she would have been seriously injured.
Just then, the phone in front of Fu Wan suddenly rang.
I thought it was a client or Wang Jianmin, but when I got through, it was Boss Fu's voice.
"Ah Wan, are you busy this afternoon? Your uncle called and said he hunted a big wild boar and wants you guys to come to the village to share the meat!"
