The team members agreed immediately.
For a time, Shen Yunshu's prestige and credibility in the team far exceeded Du Shouquan's.
However, Shen Yunshu, who was sleeping, had no idea what happened tonight.
This year, the Hongqi Brigade had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and the production line that had been delayed due to the autumn harvest also began to be prepared in full swing.
The staff responsible for producing vermicelli are all aunts and sisters in the team. They are hardworking, down-to-earth and capable, and are commonly known as the women's team.
Most of them have no status at home, but now with this job, their life at home is at least much better than before.
In addition to the necessary work points for working every day, there are also various bonus commissions at the end of the month and the end of the year.
Life is very difficult for women in this world, and Shen Yunshu's original intention was to find a way out for women.
Because women can also hold up half the sky.
Shen Yunshu specially went to the provincial capital to hire technicians to guide the team members in producing vermicelli.
The aunts and sisters-in-law are all good at work. They also learn very hard and quickly mastered the technology of producing vermicelli.
After making sure there were no problems, Shen Yunshu paid the workers their wages and sent the technicians back to the provincial capital.
One pound of sweet potatoes can produce two ounces of starch, and one pound of starch can produce eight ounces of vermicelli. That is to say, five pounds of sweet potatoes can produce less than one pound of vermicelli.
In terms of pricing, Shen Yunshu went to the county town to inquire about it, and after returning, he discussed it with Du Shouquan before finally setting the price.
The wholesale price of a pound of vermicelli is 25 cents, and the retail price is 30 cents. After deducting manpower, material resources and other costs, they can make a profit of 12 cents for every pound of vermicelli sold.
Chen Yunshu follows the strategy of small profits but quick turnover. In this era of planned economy, as long as you find the right sales channel, you will have no worries about sales.
The most important point is that the real ingredients can be seen. After the first batch of vermicelli was produced, Shen Yunshu took it home and cooked it once.
After being cooked, the vermicelli becomes transparent. It tastes smooth, delicate, elastic, chewy, and has the aroma of sweet potato starch.
In her previous life, Shen Yunshu, who was used to eating sweet potato vermicelli rich in various additives, was a little uncomfortable when she took a bite, but she soon fell in love with it.
She told Wan Xinyu the recipe for hot and sour noodles recorded in a cookbook. After a night of exploration and experimentation, Wan Xinyu made the most authentic hot and sour noodles.
Shen Yunshu fell in love with it at the first bite. It was a pity that Wan Xinyu was born in the wrong era. If he was born in modern times, with his craftsmanship, he could set up a stall at the night market and buy a house and a car in one year, not to mention three years.
Sometimes the money you earn from selling things on the roadside is not as much as those senior white-collar workers sitting in the office, provided that you are willing to work hard and can save face. The money earned in this line of work is hard-earned, and most people really can't do it.
Shen Yunshu still remembers that when she was still in school, she loved eating the chicken fork bones at the restaurant in University Town where you could buy one pound and get half a pound free. After going there many times, she and the boss lady became good friends.
During a chat, Shen Yunshu learned that the proprietress had bought a house of over 130 square meters near their school in full by giving away half a pound of chicken fork bones when you bought one pound.
You know, the new housing estates near their school are priced at around 8,000 to 9,000 yuan per square meter, which means that the house would cost at least one million yuan.
You can imagine how much money the boss lady makes from selling chicken fork bones.
The proprietress is a clean person, and her food cart is polished to a shine. In addition, it is affordable, so it is loved by a large number of students.
When running a food business, the most important thing is cleanliness. Just like selling vermicelli, the basic hygiene of the factory must be met first.
The production environment was so messy that Shen Yunshu couldn't even eat it himself, let alone sell it.
So when producing vermicelli, she repeatedly emphasized the importance of hygiene.
In addition to these, Shen Yunshu also wants to create a brand effect so that when others mention vermicelli, they will think of the Red Flag Brigade.
Over time, the sweet potato vermicelli produced by their brigade became known to more people.
After much deliberation, Chen Yunshu finally decided to name the brand "Xiaohaha Vermicelli", which is easy to pronounce and, most importantly, to be remembered.
In the future, when the team sells other things, they will also use the Xiaohaha brand. In the end, it will create a huge brand effect, letting people all over the world know that products under the Xiaohaha brand come from the Red Flag Brigade.
She told Du Shouquan the name she had chosen. Du Shouquan said three "good" words in a row and didn't say anything else.
Because he didn't understand this stuff, especially after his experience selling watermelons, he knew it was right to listen to Shen Yunshu.
Shen Yunshu is the lucky star of their team.
After finalizing the brand name, Shen Yunshu drew the trademark overnight. It was a cartoon version of a lucky girl with two small buns on her head, holding half a watermelon in her arms, grinning with joy. Below the character were the three words "laughing haha".
The next day, Shen Yunshu rushed to the commune to find Secretary Ma.
She wanted to customize a batch of trademark stickers, but the demand for stickers would definitely be small in the early stages of her business, and the printing factory might not accept them, so she came to Secretary Ma for help.
She hoped that Secretary Thomas could help introduce her to the person in charge of the county printing factory.
During famine years, the commune always supported the self-help efforts of its subordinate brigades to reduce the burden on the organization. The commune also strongly supported collective income generation.
After Shen Yunshu expressed his intention to come, Secretary Ma recorded Shen Yunshu coming to the printing factory and found the director of the printing factory, Wang Minghai.
Wang Minghai, who has been busy with orders from other provinces recently, was extremely reluctant to take such a small order. Not only was it troublesome, but the profit was also low. However, for the sake of Secretary Ma, he agreed.
