Zhang Xiu Lan was worried about the old man's health. The matter with Jiang Xiaoqin was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. The key point was that it was a loss of face.
The old man didn't know if he could bear it.
Li Jinfeng noticed that Zhang Xiulan was worried about Li Fuman, so she said, "Mom, don't worry. Grandpa is being taken care of by my eldest and second brothers. He's fine, nothing will happen to him. I'll tell Grandpa I'll go see him tomorrow. If you're worried, I can take you there later."
Zhang Xiulan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you tomorrow!"
"Alright! Let's eat first. After dinner, I have to go to Captain Zhao's place this afternoon.
If they hadn't been delayed by the Li family's affairs, Li Jinfeng and Captain Zhao would have focused all their energy on the brigade's processing plant.
The closer it gets to the start of work, the more things there are to deal with.
"I'll go with you!" said Zhang Xiulan.
After dinner and a short rest, Li Jinfeng and Zhang Xiu Lan went to the brigade headquarters to find Captain Zhao.
Yesterday they looked at the chili garden and rapeseed oil.
What needs to be checked today is the things that Li Jinfeng had previously ordered.
There are labels for branding, packaging boxes, and also essential items such as salt and tools like pots and pans.
Captain Zhao told Li Jinfeng that these were delivered in the past few days. Once the factory starts production, these things will be delivered once a month, depending on their demand.
Captain Zhao put a lot of effort into helping Li Jinfeng not come back.
Every matter was handled properly.
Li Jinfeng was very satisfied.
Next, it’s time to wait.
Wait for people to arrive, wait for the accessories needed for production to arrive, and then wait for the peppers to ripen.
The next day, Zhang Chaosheng and Zhao Mingcheng both came.
Li Jinfeng informed the two people of the current progress.
It took less than two days for both of them to adapt.
Immediately afterwards, the labels, packaging boxes, salt, and other tools that had been ordered in advance were delivered.
When the first batch of peppers turned red, Captain Zhao organized the team members to start picking peppers.
The picked peppers are calculated by kilogram. The team members are given a certain amount of money for each kilogram of peppers.
Things are different now than before. All the pepper plantations are owned by individuals in the brigade. Li Jinfeng has to pay them for buying their peppers.
The first batch of chili products was officially put into production at the end of June.
There are two types in total. One is pure chopped chili peppers, which are suitable for stir-frying or eating with rice.
The other one is chili oil, which also contains peanuts, diced chicken, and diced beef. It is considered a high-end dish and can be eaten with rice, steamed buns, or porridge.
The former is packed in plastic bottles and the latter is packed in glass bottles, so the prices are naturally different.
After the food processing plant started production, everyone became busy.
Zhang Chaosheng and Zhang Xiu Lan were responsible for helping Li Jinfeng monitor the production process, while Li Jinfeng and Zhao Mingcheng were responsible for publicity and promotion.
The two held several meetings.
Zhao Mingcheng's intention was to sell it in the supply and marketing cooperative first to see the effect.
Li Jinfeng: "The supply and marketing cooperative is indeed a good place, but they also have requirements and won't easily agree unless we make concessions! Or even if we do, the supply and marketing cooperative may not accept it!"
"Unless what?"
"Let's build up our reputation first!" said Li Jinfeng.
"But that's basically impossible. Let's build up our reputation first. How should we do that? Put it in the newspaper? Or inform everyone one by one?"
Li Jinfeng shook her head. "It's too slow! We should put it in the newspaper, but not now. Telling everyone one by one would be even worse. We don't have that much time and energy."
"So what do you mean..."
