Chapter 222: No one gets
up early without profit Kong Wenhui was really anxious. The quality of the products in the factory could not be improved. After the products from other provinces entered the county, the food factory could not sell them at a high price.
The outsiders praised them as rare and expensive, but some of the cakes they bought were hard. Last year's mooncakes were harder than stones. If you can't find a good weapon to fight with, the mooncakes can be used as weapons.
The factory also wanted to make better products, so that when visiting relatives, people would not ask where they bought them. When they were so unpalatable, they couldn't even open their mouths.
The things given by the superiors are all fixed in quantity, and the factory director has also found ways to buy things from other places, so there are several production lines in the factory, and the products produced are very popular.
Some things are tacitly understood by everyone, so after Kong Wenhui asked the factory director, the latter just let her ask. If the things are good, the price is negotiable.
"Sister Kong, I came here today to reply to your letter. My sister-in-law has made some delicious things recently, called spicy strips. You can try it. This thing is simple to make and delicious. You can try it first."
"Don't eat it yet, don't eat it yet. Even if you give me dragon meat now, I will... well, what does this smell like? It's so spicy and fragrant just by smelling it. What did your sister-in-law do before? She is so skillful, and the things she makes are so fragrant!"
"My sister-in-law is just an ordinary rural woman who just likes to study some food. It happened that I got some good food some time ago, so she thought of something delicious for me, saying that it was to thank me. How about it, Sister Kong, is it delicious?"
Kong Wenhui looked at the three kinds of spicy strips on the table. In fact, she wanted to be more reserved. After all, there was a gap of age. If she ate so wantonly in front of Shen Meng, it would be really uncivilized.
However, the taste of the spicy strips was really tempting. She started to drool before she ate it. Good things are not uncommon, but this is the first time that it is so fragrant. She reached out and pinched a spicy one. The moment she put it in her mouth, she felt that her whole body was bubbling with happiness. The fresh and spicy taste was very rich.
"Delicious, this thing is really delicious. These two spicy ones are very suitable for my appetite. This five-spice one, I can taste it as soon as I eat it. When I take a bite, it sizzles with oil. Your sister-in-law is so willing to use oil when making this thing!"
Shen Meng: "........."
Yes, in order to make this, the oil pot at home is empty. Lu Zhenping took the oil pot to the oil mill early this morning. However, the spicy strips are not the main thing today. What's in the pocket is the most important. Shen
Meng put all the three kinds of spicy strips prepared on the table for Kong Wenhui to taste. Small bags of rice, sorghum, red head, white flour, glutinous rice... a variety of more than a dozen kinds of food were all placed on the table.
"Sister Kong, I came here today to give you good news. Look at these things. I had to ask for them after much persuasion. I don't know what the non-staple food factory needs, so I asked for some samples of each. You and the leader can take a look. If it's confirmed, I will write back."
Kong Wenhui was eating spicy strips and enjoying the aroma. Suddenly, she saw Shen Meng taking out so many things from the bag one by one, as if it was not a cloth bag but a treasure box.
"Xiao, Xiao Meng, did you get all this from others? There are so many of them. These fine grains and miscellaneous grains are so good. Are these all grains from the north? Can the folks in the north eat so well?"
"Sister Kong, there are some things you can't ask, but the grains are all from legitimate sources. It's just that they are not easy to sell on the market. Please see which ones you need and write me a list with the prices marked on it."
Kong Wenhui is from the purchasing department. She remembers the prices of grain entering the factory and the prices of products leaving the factory. The moment Shen Meng handed her the list, her eyes widened. This shocked her more than seeing the fine grains.
"Xiao Meng, this price, this price is really too expensive. If it's this price, the factory may have to reconsider it."
Shen Meng was not vague. After Kong Wenhui said this, he directly started to put all the food samples on the table into the bag one by one.
"Sister Kong, this deal is probably not going to work. They have to come from far away, and it is incalculable how much manpower and financial resources they have to spend. I am not speaking for them, but they don't need it. Anyway, the price cannot be negotiated."
"Xiao Meng, look at the price on this list, it is two cents higher than the black market price. This is not just one or two kilograms. If the factory confirms it, they will order hundreds or thousands of kilograms at a time, or even tens of thousands of kilograms. How much does it cost? This is all public money. Isn't this cutting off the tail of socialism? Aren't they afraid of being reported, being..."
"Sister Kong, you should be careful with your words. People are buying the grain from ordinary people at a high price. If you think the price is high, then don't buy it. Even if the sale fails, there is still friendship. We are not forcing you. If you think it is inappropriate, then forget it. Besides, they don't have to sell the grain. I have come here in vain today. I'll go back first."
After Shen Meng finished speaking, he walked out. Kong Wenhui blinked, looked at Shen Meng's back, and then chased after him.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, you are such an impatient girl. I'm not saying that there is no way around it. The cost and so on are all decided by the factory. I'm from the purchasing department. As long as the items are suitable and the prices are similar, then this matter will be settled. Then you tell me what their lowest price is. Since they let you decide on this matter, there must be room for maneuver. Just tell me, and I'll go talk to the factory manager. After the matter is settled, you will have solved a big problem in the factory. There will be good things in the future, and I'm definitely thinking about it!"
Shen Meng looked at Kong Wenhui steadily for a while. She was indeed a veteran. She was almost framed by her.
“Sister, there’s no need for that in the future. Last time I told you that you can give your factory director a taste of the pastries for the non-staple food factory and the spicy strips just now. If you think they are suitable, you can learn from the textile factory and set up a workshop in our commune and register it with your non-staple food factory. We will only charge you a labor fee and guarantee the quality of the products.”
Kong Wenhui: “........”
Just tell me if you are a monkey or not. When you see a ladder, you want to climb up!!!
"That won't work. We can't control the quality and hygiene of the food made in the countryside if we buy it as a non-staple food factory. If someone has problems eating it, it will be our factory that will be in trouble!"
Shen Meng smiled and said, "Sister, you can ask the leader first. If you are willing, you can select someone to be in charge of our commune's workshop. I think Cheng Ying, the daughter of Dr. Cheng, can do it. Of course, this is an extra job for her. If the products of our workshop are profitable, she will naturally have an extra reward."
People will never get up early without benefits. Even though Shen Meng has given the Kong family many advantages, if there are greater benefits, people will still be willing to take risks.
