Located in Hua'an Village, the bakery, which was converted from the Hua'an Village Office, was officially completed three days ago. All the procedures have been completed, and it meets the standards for opening for business.
Two days ago, sample packages of food products such as mochi, grape jam, and grape juice were transported from the Haishi factory to Hua'an Village and signed for.
Yesterday morning, after a simple opening ceremony, six villagers selected by the village chief of Hua'an Village and deemed qualified by Xu Heping officially started their jobs, transforming into temporary employees of the bakery.
After a busy day by these six employees, nearly 100 kilograms of grapes were transformed into various food products, carefully packaged in exquisite packaging, placed in express delivery boxes, labeled with delivery slips, and collected by express delivery companies and sent to destinations all over the country.
The list of participants was selected by Tang Wen three days ago through Taobao store raffles, live stream raffles, and various platform accounts. In order to ensure that these people who tasted the new products could provide tasting feedback that met the requirements, Xu's Catering specifically stated that if the feedback exceeded 300 words, they would receive a Xu's Catering braised food gift pack.
With various incentives, of the 320 tasting kits sent out, 186 thoughtfully written tasting feedback responses have been received so far.
On the rooftop of Xu's Catering headquarters, two simple tables were joined together to form a long table. Xu An, Lu Shengnan, Tang Wen, and others sat around this long table, giving work reports.
"Based on the data from the taste test feedback, a summary analysis was conducted. The analysis revealed that the grape juice, which has no nutritional value, was the most acceptable to people."
As Tang Wen spoke, she rotated the computer in front of her 180 degrees, so that the screen was facing Xu An and the others. The computer screen displayed a clip taken from the feedback.
The No. 2 grape juice has a rich, full-bodied flavor and intense aroma; in terms of taste alone, it surpasses the No. 1 grape juice.
[If I were to choose grape juice number two based solely on taste, without considering its nutritional value, I would choose it.]
The No. 2 grape juice tastes good, but it lacks nutritional value, so I probably wouldn't consider buying it.

Seeing that everyone's attention had fallen to the bottom of the screen, Tang Wen gently tapped the 'Next Page' arrow.
"Grape juice received 83% support and 72% positive reviews out of 86 feedback responses. Grape mochi came in second, with 74% support and 91% positive reviews."
The texture of the grape mochi surprised me; it didn't have the plasticky feel of other grape products, and the flavor was quite dense.
What surprised me most was that not only was grape juice added to the outer layer of the mochi, but it was also filled with grape jam. With such generous ingredients, I'm almost worried about the price.
[The outer skin is soft, chewy, and bouncy, while the inside is delicate and smooth. It's not too sweet, and you can eat six of them in one go without feeling overwhelmed.]

"The grape cake made using the osmanthus cake method had the lowest approval rating at 43%, with a 51% positive review rate."
"Not bad," Xu An said, quite satisfied with the feedback data. He turned to Lu Shengnan and said, "You discuss the product pricing with General Manager Xu, Supervisor Lu, and Chef Liu. The profit margin will still be calculated at 30%."
After saying that, Xu An turned to Tang Wen and asked, "Is this part of the report finished? If so, let's move on to the next part!"
"Not yet!" Tang Wen replied while clicking the 'next page' arrow, quickly adding, "There's one more thing. Boss, take a look at this. This is feedback from one of the taste testers. Along with the feedback, they also included a recipe for a fruit drink made with grape juice."
"A recipe?" Xu An looked at the computer screen with interest and indeed saw a recipe.
The recipes document the preparation of two different beverages: one is a "Grape Lemon Tea" made with grape juice, and the other is a "Grape Shake Shake" made with grape juice and other brands of grape sparkling water.
"I had Da Ni try making it, and it looked quite nice. Chef Liu and the others also tried it and really liked the taste."
As Tang Wen spoke, she stood up, walked straight to the rooftop staircase, went down the stairs, opened the staircase door, and a moment later, a kitchen worker appeared in front of everyone carrying a tray with two drinks made according to the recipe.
Judging from their appearance alone, the two drinks are like two gradient amethyst crystals, shimmering and dazzling.
Even when the staff were more than three meters away from the makeshift conference table, Xu An could smell the delicate fragrance of grapes—a fragrance far more intense than when he usually ate grapes. Just smelling it made Xu An feel his mouth water.
I took the 50ml tasting cup from the [Grape Shake Shake Ice], swirled it gently, and then brought it directly to my lips, drinking it all in one gulp.
The extreme cold swept away all remaining taste in his mouth, leaving only a clear sensation. Before Xu An could even frown, tiny, exquisite bubbles danced in his mouth, causing juices to burst forth in all directions, creating a sensation akin to fireworks exploding in his oral cavity.
ha----
A chorus of exclamations rang in Xu An's ears, indicating that everyone shared the same sentiment about the drink.
Although both are drinks made with grape juice, the 【Grape Bursting Lemon Tea】 brought Xu An a completely different feeling.
The combination of lemon and tea is a match made in heaven; their bond is so tight and strong that it seems as if nothing in the world can separate them.
