Chapter 606 Panic
"Hey, do you think we can sell the candies we made?"
"Normally it would be fine, but with the weather lately, ah, I'm really worried."
"Who says it isn't true? If the sugar factory goes down, we will be in trouble."
When Shen Qingqian and her sisters came in, they heard several women who were responsible for cutting sugarcane talking in low voices.
Shen Qingning tugged at her sleeve, "Sixth sister, aren't you going to say something to them?"
"No need, I know what I'm doing." Shen Qingqian shook her head. If people can't see a good result from this kind of thing, the panic will not disappear.
When the workers saw the Shen sisters coming, they all stood up and greeted them.
Shen Qingqian smiled and said to everyone: "You guys are busy, we are just here to take a look around."
The sugar factory is an assembly line. The first step is to peel the sugarcane, which is done by four older women.
The shelled sugarcane is sent to the processing room, where two young wives are responsible for cutting it; then comes the juicing, which is done by two permanent workers and several temporary workers. Because it is a strenuous job, those who are weak in their hands cannot enter this room.
Except for the discolored room which has a window at the top of the wall, the other rooms are spacious and open, so you won't feel depressed when working in them.
The decolorization work was mainly done by Shen Qingxiao and Shen Qingyu, while Shen Qingman, Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingning took turns randomly.
In order to prevent the decolorization technology from being leaked to the greatest extent possible, Shen Qingxiao suggested that they wait until the workers got off work before pouring the yellow mud water.
Anyway, there will be temporary workers responsible for dealing with the yellow mud water during the day, and we can decolorize it after they get off work, which is just the right time to avoid it.
This proposal was approved by everyone, so until now, other workers in the sugar factory did not know what to do with the yellow mud water.
They only knew that when they came the next day, they could proceed with the sugar separation.
The so-called sugar separation is to separate the sugar that has been decolorized by yellow mud water according to the depth of color. The top layer of white sugar is the most valuable, and the person responsible for separating the sugar is usually very careful.
Shen Qingqian looked in every room and left after making sure there was no problem.
Shen Qingning and the others stayed to help, and those with extroverted personalities would chat with them during breaks.
"Fifth Miss, do you know who we are going to sell these candies to?"
Shen Qingning had heard their discussion earlier, and upon hearing this, he replied, "I don't know who exactly they are, but I heard from Sixth Sister that a large portion of our candy will be sold to the Hubei Army's caravan."
Shen Qingqian went to see Liang Cheng again two days ago and told him in detail about the sugar factory's development plan for the next two years, which included selling sugar to the Hubei North Army's caravan.
Liang Cheng was a little confused at the time. "Didn't you say I only need to wait for the 10% profit?"
"Uncle, a 10% profit is only a small amount. The caravan is the biggest earner!" Shen Qingqian smiled cunningly. "Think about it, if the sugar factory sells sugar to our own caravan at the lowest price, wouldn't we make more money from selling it locally?"
Liang Cheng thought about it and knew that she was right. This way, the Hubei Northern Army could get the money twice.
As for the low price Shen Qingqian mentioned, the market price of sugar is 800 wen, and she sold it to the Hubei Army's caravan for 600 wen, which is not too much, right?
Let’s get back to the present.
When the man heard that the candies were being sold, he felt relieved. He smiled and chatted with Shen Qingning and the others for a few more words, then went back to work in a hurry.
"Fifth sister, it seems that you have to start preparing for your stall." Shen Qingman looked at the sugar produced in the house in the past few days, thoughtfully.
