Chapter 132 Xianyu Preserved Fruit



Sun Zongyuan recalled the taste of the preserved fruit. The sugar content was not very uniform, and the dryness and moisture content were not the same. He said to everyone:

"It's pretty good to get this right the first time, but if you want to sell it at a good price, you need to do more to master the processing technology. Can you think of ways to solve the problem of different sugar levels? Some even burn into the pot. How can we prevent that? How can we solve the problem of putting it on the kang mat? Some are over-dried and become very hard, while others are not dry yet and are very soft. It's caused by uneven drying."

Xu Qingjun had the preserved fruits made yesterday distributed to everyone as snacks, and organized everyone to study how to solve the problem at each step. At two o'clock in the afternoon, he called several work section leaders to meet together. They all proposed solutions, so let's try it again.

So there was another tense operation, and the next morning everyone accompanied Sun Zongyuan to verify the quality!

Everyone present tasted a few pieces. Sun Zongyuan didn't say anything. Xu Qingjun asked everyone to continue giving their opinions.

Everyone talked about it and put forward a lot of opinions and solutions. Xu Qingjun combined everyone's suggestions, modified the processing method, and made another batch.

How much do you think that would cost?

There really aren't that many. Fruits are free. Every village in Honghua Township has an orchard and everyone has enough. Who are you selling them to?

Firewood for cooking? Every household has piles of firewood inside and outside the door. More than 100 kilograms a day should be recorded in the account. It doesn’t matter whether you pay or not. It’s not worth much anyway. If you want it, just go to the mountain and get it.

What about wages? There were only a dozen men, all of them were village cadres and militiamen, and the women were just some old ladies who were just looking for fun. Why should they ask for money?

But if the business really opens, Xu Qingjun and the others will be the first batch of workers. They are skilled in business techniques and enthusiastic. Don't you think they are stupid?

The only thing that requires money may be the six large barrels of syrup provided by Liuzhuang Food Factory, totaling 600 kilograms. Sun Zongyu said that there is no need to pay for it, and the supply contract will be signed after the preserved fruit factory officially starts production.

Only one 100-jin bucket was used during two days of trial production.

Sun Zongyuan asked each work section to record each trial production plan so that they could summarize the experience next time.

After six consecutive days of trial production, the quality of the preserved fruit was finally determined.

Sun Zongyu arranged to collect the experience and practices of each work section and make them into a small handbook so that everyone could learn from each other.

Sun Zongyuan instructed Xu Qingjun to send some products to the county industrial and commercial bureau and quality supervision bureau for quality inspection reports. Of course, Sun Zongyuan had to be polite to the leaders in charge of the two bureaus.

He also sent more than 500 kilograms of the best products to the Fushan Agricultural Products Wholesale Market for wholesale. As a result, they were all sold out in less than a day, and a supply and marketing contract was signed.

The business license and inspection report were retrieved without any suspense.

The preserved fruit factory employed 100 workers, all of whom were from the village. Except for the elderly and some individual households, basically one person from each household worked in the factory. If there was any work to be arranged in the village, they would just shout at the workers at the preserved fruit factory and they would be assigned the tasks.

Only 2,000 kilograms of preserved fruit are produced every day. It’s not because people are not working hard, but because the fruit contains too much water. On average, five or six kilograms of fruit are used to produce one kilogram of preserved fruit.

The wholesale price of one pound of preserved fruit in the market is 0.9 yuan, and the retail price is 1.2 yuan.

Sun Zongyuan arranged for the group company's audit department to carefully study the cost of preserved fruit, which was 0.7 yuan, including fruit raw materials, firewood, labor costs, taxes, etc., and the net profit was 0.2 yuan per catty.

The village’s collective income for one day of production is 400 yuan, and the actual income is 600 yuan (local fruit prices are very low, and labor and firewood costs are much lower than the audited price).

Each worker earns an average of 2.5 yuan a day.

When they did the math, everyone was surprised:

“Is this money so easy to earn?”

There is a serious lack of production capacity!

While Xu Qingjun increased production by working in two shifts, he also found 23 acres of flat land in the village and began to expand the factory.

Money is easy to use, and a new factory building was built in just one month.

This time, Xu Qingjun followed Sun Zongyu's advice and bought a core remover, a steamer and a dryer, which increased the production capacity sixfold.

The village's daily net profit reaches more than 3,000 yuan. Some villagers work in factories, while others go elsewhere to sell fruit raw materials or preserved fruits. Even their previous pig farming business has been treated as a part-time job.

Before the Spring Festival holiday on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuanda Group Company voluntarily audited the accounts of the Xianyu Food Factory in the village. The production of preserved fruits in 89 days was 191 tons, with a profit of 110,000 yuan.

He also paid 6,000 yuan in taxes to the state.

The amount is small, but the significance is significant.

The major rectification campaign led by Sun Zongyuan lasted for two months and achieved great success. Four branch secretaries with weak sense of responsibility were replaced, seven branch secretaries who were too old retired, and two branch secretaries were filed for investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission. 46,000 yuan of collective property and funds were recovered, 7 letters and visits were resolved, 34 new probationary party members were admitted, and 63 activists were trained.

3,000 new pigs were added to the pig farm, more than 560 contracts were signed, and three new village-run enterprises were added.

In general:

The leading role has been enhanced, the team's combat effectiveness has been improved, some corruption issues have been clarified, the reserve force has been strengthened, society has become more stable, the masses have access to employment, and the relationship between the Party, the masses, cadres and the masses has become harmonious!

The fact that Xianyuzi Village had started a business with such high profits in the past few months had also attracted the attention of other village cadres who had other ideas.

"Establish village-level enterprises, strengthen the collective economy, and increase people's income."

This idea lingered in the minds of cadres throughout the winter, and some restless cadres often went to Xu Qingjun to learn from him.

October is the harvest season.

Not only is Honghua Township harvesting crops as usual and planting seeds for the coming year, the 24,600 mu of desertified land that was transformed this spring is also welcoming its first autumn harvest.

Driven by Fushan Farm, rice and lotus roots are widely planted. Some households dug out lotus roots and weighed them, and the yield per mu was amazing: it reached 8,000 catties, and some even exceeded 10,000 catties (Yugoslav lotus root is a high-yield variety, but like other crops, the yield will decrease with the years of planting). The current market retail price is 0.35 yuan per catty, and the wholesale price in Fushan Wholesale Market is 0.3 yuan per catty. The income per mu is 2,400 yuan. Even after deducting the cost of fertilizers and lotus seeds, the net profit is still 1,500 yuan. The key is that the whole township has united to renovate one mu of land per person.

Sun Zongyu watched everyone digging lotus roots and getting covered in water and mud. He pulled out a long rubber hose from his grandfather's nursing room, opened the valve, and a torrent of water rushed out of the pipe. Sun Zongyu pointed the hose at the lotus pond and soon more than two meters long snow-white lotus roots floated out of the water. His grandfather took a bamboo pole and hooked it with the wire on his head and reached the shore.

Everyone was confused:

This matter is done without any involvement!

Isn't the lotus root peeled? How can it be washed with water like this? Some children followed suit and took off their pants and took out their penises to start sucking!
