"Damn, so many people haven't received their goods. This doesn't feel like a scam! It's like illegal fundraising!"
"...The number of comments on that righteous post will grow to 7,800. After deducting duplicate comments, the total number of comments will be around 1,800. Similar comments appearing above our store's account have also reached less than 8,000...and the impact is still shrinking. Not a single member of the Xu family has even produced a special video explaining 'running away with the money'...Although they didn't name names, anyone who hasn't been paying attention can guess...with intervention, that matter wouldn't have escalated to the point of being uncontrollable..."
Glug glug—glug glug glug—ta
Waiting for Duan Bin's response, Xu Kang waved to the two of them repeatedly, signaling them to come over. He even lined up seven cup noodles for the two to choose from.
Tang Wen had barely finished speaking when Gu Jiayi immediately followed, giving Duan Bin no chance to catch his breath.
"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded!"
'......'
Duan Bin clicked his tongue in disgust, took the two spice packets from his hands, and was about to open one of them to put it away when Xu Kang quietly stopped him.
"Wuhu! Long live the Emperor! Thank you, Brother Anzi!"
To solve the problem of backlogged orders, it's essential to reduce production capacity. Duan Bin currently has no idea how to do this.
"Use it, just remember to bring it back when you're done." Duan Bin said, then, remembering Xu Kang's long list of misdeeds, he immediately added, "You can't boil sand, you can't boil mud, and you can't even use a cold kettle to make soup! You can't even boil excrement or urine! You can only boil plain water!"
The culprit behind all that is—increased production capacity.
The situation reported by Gu Jiayi should have been bad news, but when combined with the situation reported by Tang Wen, it turned out to be good news.
The first approach is naturally to reduce the size of the facility and equipment; fewer equipment means lower output. The seventh approach is to increase manpower; assuming no change in facility conditions, adopting an eight-shift work system would at least double output. The eighth approach is to modify the production process, allowing fewer people to participate in the production of the braised food...
If Xu Heping and his wife were to be solely responsible for frying the spices and packaging them according to time, quantity, type, etc., then the cooking process could be completely handed over to the helpers.
"The next time it's because of food safety issues in the seafood market, that's why the authorities didn't report it, and our image wasn't ruined; but that time it was an online controversy, and once the image is damaged, it's hard to recover... Boss, only when no orders are sent out will that rumor be debunked on its own."
"Just got back from fishing in the river!" Gao Yili came over and asked, "Anzi, can we borrow his water jug?"
The first idea hasn't been implemented yet, but no matter how slow it is, design, construction, and so on all take time. A distant solution can solve an immediate problem.
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Seeing the two of them looking so eager, Duan Bin waved his little hand and granted our request. The two of them immediately cheered and ran to Xu Kang's side, carefully examining the seven cup noodles, and finally made a difficult decision, choosing the braised beef flavor.
When the comments were at their last dozen or so, the young man would still grumble a little; but when the comments reached a little over a hundred, he felt something was amiss; and before the comments exceeded a thousand, conspiracy theories began to emerge.
"What's going on? Why is everyone gathered in front of your house today?" Gao Yi sped up before we got a distance away and teased with a smile, "Is it because no one got scolded again, or did they give up the village to play?"
From time and quantity to heat control, everything is given a fixed formula. If you follow the formula exactly, the final braised dishes should taste the same, right? It's like instant noodles; no matter how long you soak braised beef noodles, they'll turn into pickled cabbage beef noodles...
Judging from the situation, even a fool could guess that Gao Yili had lost to those older kids while slacking off, and the loser had to treat everyone to instant noodles. Since they didn't dare go home, they all rushed over. It seems like it was a last-minute decision, and they decided to come to my house as soon as it was over. If Gao Yili hadn't brought at least two cup noodles...
"Haha, I was just thinking about something else and got distracted." Duan Bin said, then slowly placed the seasoning packets in the order Xu Kang had instructed. He then stood up and said to everyone with great arrogance, "How can you eat instant noodles without a fried egg! Here, one fried egg for each of you, I'm waiting for you!"
That was despite Xu Heping working tirelessly from 4 AM to 4 PM every day, and even then, he only had a small number of orders piling up. If Xu Heping really goes back to his hometown in the next two days, the backlog of orders will probably be close to 80,000...
"Boss, our Taobao store has a backlog of 28,777 orders, of which 4,000 were placed within the last 77 hours from last night to today. These orders have similar compositions, mostly a combination of 'Hellish Braised Food' + 'Other Flavors' = 29 yuan with free shipping... The orders are distributed across seven provinces in China known for their high spice tolerance..."
"Brother!" The two big guys glanced slowly at the cup noodles in Gao Yili's hand, swallowed hard, and looked at Duan Bin expectantly.
"Yes, it can be put in, that packet of ingredients was the first one put in!"
"Tang Wen, inform each of the specific situation and apologize to everyone on each of your smaller accounts. Starting today, after the inventory is cleared, publish the daily inventory order volume and today's shipment volume, specifying the exact time period for each customer's order to be shipped..."
In this way, there's no need to worry about the secret formula being leaked, and fewer people need to be recruited, allowing Duan Bin to achieve his envisioned eight-shift work system...
"Come here, give them my portion. Which flavor do they want?"
"Jiayi, set all products in your Taobao store to anti-sale price. Once the number of orders exceeds two thousand, you can start accepting orders."
At the very beginning, Tang Wen took a deep breath and stated the request she had made during that report.
Faced with the choice between money and reputation, Duan Bin chose reputation. After all, reputation and money are inextricably linked; a bad reputation leads to a steady stream of orders, and vice versa.
Seeing that Duan Bin refused, Xu Kang led the seven children in front of him into Duan Bin's yard. They went out of the kitchen, picked up the kettle, filled it with well water, and plugged in the electric kettle to boil the water. As if by magic, the seven of them produced a cup of instant noodles, tore open the bottom packaging, and took out the outer packets of seasoning and forks, waiting for the cold water to boil.
"Hey! Anzi? Anzi! What's wrong? There's no gold on the outside of the packet. You just left it there, how could you bear to put it in?" Xu Kang kicked Duan Bin's thigh hard, bringing Duan Bin back to his senses.
The key point is that when Xu Kang spoke, these older children actually listened, more obedient than if their parents nagged them hundreds of times. It's really strange.
"Hey, hey, hey, move aside, you need to add water! Fatty, where's his sauce packet? I've told him so many times, the sauce and vegetable packets have to be put in first, otherwise they'll either have too much flavor or they won't dissolve properly..."
