Yu Yao wasn't worried about the recommended candidate; Wu Huaiqing was the purchasing director of the old factory area, so he could help with the recommendation.
Just then, someone came over to announce: "The food on the stove is all heated up. You can go and get your aluminum lunchboxes now."
Yu Yao and the others went to the stove to get aluminum lunch boxes.
It's so convenient compared to other workshops. Not only do we not have to queue up in the canteen to heat up our meals, but we also save five cents a time.
"Why is our workshop so unlucky to have someone like Wan Xiaozhen? She's been in the pre-processing workshop for days and she still can't even cut a pineapple."
“This can’t go on. In the end, we’ll still have to do the task of 300 jin. My daughter-in-law just gave birth, and I have to rush home after get off work to take care of her. I don’t want to work overtime.”
Someone accidentally glanced at the door of the pre-processing workshop and nudged her, saying, "Stop talking, someone heard you."
The man glanced at the doorway and deliberately spoke loudly, "If you heard me, you heard me. It's better if you heard me, so I don't have to say it to your face. If anyone delays the old lady from getting off work, don't blame me for being rude. So what if you have the foreman as your backer? Who can you blame for your own incompetence?"
Wan Xiaozhen's face fell; she was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Even though Yu Yao and she were both newcomers, if neither of them could complete the 300-pound task, with their aunt protecting them, no one would say much.
Unfortunately, Yu Yao did much better than her, which made her seem particularly bad in comparison.
Some people, instead of reflecting on how to improve their own abilities when they don't do well, blame everything on the person who does well.
If it weren't for Yu Yao, she wouldn't have had to put up with this.
You like to bribe people with food, don't you? This is how you take advantage of public resources.
Wan Xiaozhen threw her things down and went out. When she came back, there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
During her lunch break, Yu Yao took some canned jackfruit to Wu Huaiqing. "Brother, I want to participate in a canned food development competition. This is the canned jackfruit I made. What do you think?"
"Your skills are definitely not a problem. I happen to have a recommendation slot available, so I'll recommend you."
Wu Huaiqing opened the can of pineapple and was immediately attracted by its rich and unique sweet aroma. This unique fragrance of jackfruit is unmatched by other fruits and is a representative of the island's specialty fruits.
It's not that no one has made canned jackfruit before, but the aroma of the canned jackfruit made in the past wasn't as strong, and the texture wasn't as delicate and smooth. It was either too crisp and not flavorful enough, or too soft and would fall apart as soon as you picked it up.
What method did you use to cook the jackfruit?
Yu Yao nodded, "At first, I used the same method as canned pineapple, but then I found that the texture wasn't very good, so I changed the method. Instead of boiling, I steamed it. I put the steamed and fully ripe pineapple directly into the sugar water to soak. This way, the texture is soft and glutinous, and it keeps well."
Of course, there are many key details to making this jackfruit preserve with this texture, but Yu Yao will keep it brief.
As the purchasing director, Wu Huaiqing has a sharper tongue than most people.
Aunt Liu and the others couldn't taste the difference, but he could. His sister must have used some other method to preserve the jackfruit's aroma, so that it wouldn't be too cloying even after eating a lot.
"The canned food is delicious, but if you're participating in the selection process, you can make it a bit sweeter. People in Guangdong generally prefer sweet flavors."
Yu Yao nodded. "I understand. Are there any other things you think can be improved?"
"I think everything else is great; the taste of this recipe is perfectly suitable for sale."
At this point, Wu Huaiqing looked around to make sure no one was there, and then whispered, "You can design several more canned goods. Besides fruit cans, you can try developing various meat cans. If they are selected, they can be exhibited to foreign businesses at the Canton Fair next spring to generate foreign exchange earnings."
The factory had not notified them of this matter. Wu Huaiqing deduced it based on the factory's recent actions and the content of Director Wang's daily meetings, and he was at least 80% certain of it.
Yu Yao never expected that there was such a hidden meaning behind this competition.
Wang Chuntao is so proud now, isn't it just because she is the production team leader?
According to the usual seniority system, it would take her at least several years to have a chance to become class monitor, and there would have to be a vacancy for that.
If she is chosen by a foreign company, it means she can set up her own production team. According to factory practice, she, as the person who has made the greatest contribution, is likely to be promoted to team leader.
This was a great opportunity for Yu Yao. Although there were improved methods, her hands were still a bit tired after completing the task of carrying 300 jin (150 kg) every day.
Being a class monitor would make things easier.
After the reform and opening up, opportunities abound, and with her abilities, the food industry is the easiest to enter. If she can accumulate some management experience in advance, it will be very helpful for doing business in the future.
Yu Yao had this matter on her mind, but unexpectedly, by multitasking, she was even faster than before, completing the 300-jin task an hour ahead of schedule.
She rubbed her sore wrists and went to the changing room with the others to change her clothes.
Because of a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in her stomach, Yu Yao stayed in the bathroom for a while, initially thinking she had eaten something bad, but later found out that wasn't the case.
It seems like she's about to get her period.
Speaking of which, it's been several months since she transmigrated into the book, and she hasn't had her period yet. She doesn't know if there's a problem, and she'll have to go to the clinic to see a military doctor when she gets back.
As Yu Yao walked out of the factory, everyone else had gone home after get off work. She was heading towards the bicycle shed when she ran into a staff member from the purchasing department.
"Comrade Yu Yao, do you have time now? The director wants you to go to the conference room. It seems to be related to the canned food competition recommendation."
Yu Yao quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you for letting me know."
