He Yanxia watched helplessly as the four roast chickens were sold out in just a short while.
"Hey, will you come to sell it tomorrow?" Someone who didn't buy it asked unwillingly.
"I'll come again tomorrow, but I won't buy more than eight chickens. If you want to buy one, you'll have to go early."
After selling all the roast chicken, Wan Feng pushed the cart back.
"Didn't you say you learned how to roast chicken in Wahou? Why are you going to Beijing again now?" He Yanxia asked puzzledly.
Wan Feng was speechless. You said that your whole family is full of monkey spirits. How come you believe this?
"Isn't that just fooling them? It doesn't work with some people these days if you don't fool them."
"My Xuan'er must have been fooled by you."
"Aunt He, that's not true. I really didn't fool her at the beginning. At most, we were just joking around in our spare time."
"I wouldn't believe you."
He Yanxia has basically mastered all the procedures of roasting chicken in the process of making roast chicken at Wanfeng. All she needs to do next is to become familiar with this procedure.
As long as you master the preparation of the pickling brine, the taste will not differ much.
The roast chicken sold very well for two consecutive days. The town is small to begin with, and farts can be heard from one end to the other, so many people in Wu County know that there is a stall selling roast chicken near the bus station.
Through word of mouth with embellishment, Zhang's roast chicken became famous in just a few days.
Roasting eight chickens in one pot is the limit and also the standard. Roasting two chickens in a pot a day can earn more than 40 yuan.
Two savvy chicken vendors in the market also benefited from this. They no longer had to wait anxiously in the market every day for buyers for their chickens. As long as the chickens were healthy and of suitable size, they could be exchanged for money by sending them to Zhang's house.
Zhang Zhiyuan was also smiling all day long. It was so good to have chicken heads and chicken feet to chew on every day.
As for Zhang Juan and Zhang Chong, they have lost interest in chicken heads and chicken feet and hope to eat roast chicken every day.
After He Yanxia basically mastered the technique of roasting chicken and roasted a batch of chicken and sold it at the bus station, Wan Feng, who felt that He Yanxia had mastered the technique, returned to the battalion headquarters to supervise the construction of the new branch.
During the ten days that he taught He Yanxia how to roast chicken, the changes that took place in the old primary school building of the battalion headquarters were that the roof was covered with new grass. While thatching the house, the carpenters installed new doors and windows, the floor of the house was cemented, a new shed was hung, and the walls were painted.
The house is almost cleaned up, except for the heating system which has not been installed yet.
All that was left outside were the newly built wing used as a warehouse, the communication room, and the walled boiler room.
Liu Ying introduced her bachelor uncle to be the night watchman. Before the communication room was completed, he lived in the big house and looked after the piled up construction materials.
Wan Feng went home when the afternoon bus came, and took the bus here again the next day. This went on for more than a month.
After more than a month, Zhang Zhiyuan's unpaid leave was approved. The next day after the approval, he came to the battalion headquarters to see his daughter's new factory.
When he arrived, the warehouse was undergoing simple beam-raising work.
Unlike in Northern Liao where raising the beams requires many details, raising the beams here is much simpler, and it is even simpler since it is just a building.
A piece of red cloth was tied to the beams, and two strings of firecrackers were set off and that was it.
The construction of the warehouse and the communication room is nearing completion with the beams being put up, leaving only the walls and the yard floor.
During this period, the heating in the house was also installed. Although it is not used now, it will play its role in winter.
The kangs and beds in the dormitories have also been installed. Each of the three dormitories has an area of more than 60 square meters, enough to accommodate 60 people in bunk beds. The two houses at the westernmost end are canteens, one for cooking and storing food and the other for eating.
During this period, Wang Yuan contacted her classmates from company to company. Not only did she contact all the graduates of her class, but she also contacted some girls with sewing skills from each company, bringing together more than 60 people.
She also brought these people to visit the factory. These girls were eagerly looking forward to the factory being renovated as soon as possible so that they could work and earn money.
By the end of April, the factory was finally cleaned up. After the factory was inspected and accepted, Wan Feng moved the fifty sewing machines and overlock ironing equipment ordered from the county department store to the factory for installation.
Aihui is just upstream of Xiao Wu's home. In summer, the cloth is shipped directly from the cotton mill to the boat, and then transported to Sijitun in more than an hour by downstream. After landing in Sijitun, the battalion's fleet of vehicles is hired to transport the cloth to the factory warehouse.
Before work started, enough raw materials to last three months were put into the warehouse.
After the equipment installation and testing were completed, Wan Feng set the opening date as May Day.
It happened to be the end of the month and the May Day holiday, so Zhang Xuan also took a boat to the three-point field.
Zhang Xuan was stunned when he saw his father was also here.
"How did you trick Dad into coming here?"
"What do you mean by deception? His daughter runs a factory and he doesn't contribute? I hired him with an annual salary of 2,000 yuan. Whether you pay me or not is your business. He won't ask me for money anyway."
"So he's quitting his job?"
"I've been put on unpaid leave."
"Your idea?"
"Hey, he came of his own accord."
Zhang Xuan hasn't been home for two months, and her family has undergone tremendous changes. Her father came here, and her mother has become a famous roast chicken king in Wu County.
Now I roast three batches of chicken a day and not even a feather is left.
Accompanied by Wang Yuan and Liu Ying, Zhang Xuan visited the branch factory in a very formal manner. After seeing the completed factory building, Zhang Xuan was very satisfied.
"You owe me five thousand yuan, don't forget to pay it back, no! And the money for the raw materials, it's over ten thousand."
"Can our boss repay the debt with his body?" Wang Yuan said.
"That won't work. Family is family and money is money. We must distinguish them clearly."
Zhang Xuan didn't say anything but just smiled.
On May Day, the Tornado Garment Factory had its grand opening.
After the more than 60 female workers recruited by Wang Yuan were assigned dormitories and received new work clothes, they all stood at the gate to cheer.
Where girls gather, there will naturally be groups of boys, and the bachelors in the camp will also come to join in the fun.
There was no shortage of people on the opening day.
Liu Ying's father, as the deputy battalion commander in charge of industry, was invited by Wan Feng to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony.
After delivering a speech for several minutes, he cut the ribbon for the garment factory amid the deafening sound of firecrackers.
Wan Feng arranged several banquets at the restaurant of the battalion's supply and marketing cooperative. All the important people in the battalion were present, no matter if they were high-ranking officials or low-ranking officials, they had to give him face and spend money to buy it, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.
The factory is configured as follows: Zhang Zhiyuan is in charge of finance, raw materials and product sales, Wang Yuan is responsible for production, and Liu Ying is in charge of logistics.
Fifty seamstresses, more than ten odd workers doing edge-locking and ironing, and two middle-aged men in their forties that Liu Ying found at the battalion headquarters were responsible for loading and unloading materials and storing them in the warehouse.
After the May Day holiday, the garment factory officially started operations.
