I need to think about the sales channels for mountain products. I feel it's a waste to just sell them like this. Once they pass through our hands, the price should at least double.
Putting aside everything else, they've already started selecting land to plant blueberries and wood ear mushrooms on a large scale, as you know.
And as for the wheat you mentioned, we can keep some for staple food, and think about whether the surplus can be processed into pastries and mooncakes. These don't require machines, so we can just make some for holidays. We also need to give out benefits to everyone, so we can make more to earn some money for the New Year. Isn't that easy?
And all those watermelons we planted, they'll be ready to harvest soon, right? Isn't this a perfect way to get in touch? Every factory needs some kind of perk, right?
In this sweltering heat, who wouldn't be happy to cool off, right?
"Our chickens at the farm have started laying eggs, right? We've also raised a lot more pigs this year; we'll have more than we can distribute by the end of the year. You could think about canning the meat, how about that?"
Lin Dongfang, “…”
"So you've included all these factories in your calculations?"
That's not all. You've even taken care of the land at home and all the people there?
"No, no, no! You've expanded too much at once. Who can manage this? We haven't even figured out how to make tofu yet, and you're already eyeing this other thing. With these people, they'll have to learn everything one by one!"
"fool!"
Hey! What did you say?
"You're not convinced when I say you're stupid?"
"There are many of us, but don't forget, most of us are illiterate and don't have any special skills. Making tofu is okay, the cooks know how, but what about the others? Are we supposed to have the cooks learn on the spot?"
Lin Dongfang was completely confused.
"No, didn't you say that? I didn't intend to expand this much."
"Yes, you didn't think about it. Then let me ask you, is it possible to just stay in this factory and make tofu all the time?"
"Of course not!"
"Can what I've mentioned be done? What's missing?"
"It seems like it's possible, but nobody knows how. It's not realistic for us to just grope in the dark like this."
"If that's unrealistic, then think of something more realistic. We don't have anyone who knows how, so why don't you find someone? Is your brain rusted? Why do you have to rely on just a few of us?"
With so many family members, is there anyone who knows how to do it? Among those elderly people, who doesn't have a skill they can still show off?
Even if things go badly, in such a large county, can't you find many skilled craftsmen?
Although it's a military factory, it's independent, and there aren't any secrets to hide, nor does it necessarily have to be completely isolated from the outside world.
Lin Dongfang leaned back in his chair and stared at Jian Dan for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.
"To be honest, as the factory manager, I was somewhat forced into this role. For now, I can only see the immediate situation and don't have the long-term vision you're looking at."
"Don't say that. You're too close to the situation to see things clearly. Besides, the pressure and responsibilities you're under right now are different from mine."
I have a light heart, so I have the energy to think about other things. But you should also know that no matter how much I talk now, or how eloquently I speak, the focus right now is definitely on this bean product factory. After all, it is the foundation of our big factory, the face of our business, and we have to make sure it's built well.
As for the rest, we'll have to take it slowly. No matter how much we think about it, we still need to consider the actual situation; otherwise, it's just wishful thinking.
"Alright, you're really different now than before. Before, you were too lazy to use your brain, but now you think of things that others can't. So tell me, do you have any good ideas about this bean product?"
After all, it's just the beginning, and right now the main dishes are still tofu and dried tofu. But Lin Dongfang also knows that no matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat it every day.
Jianda tapped the table, reminiscing about the bean products she remembered.
"Tofu, soy milk, dried tofu, dried tofu sticks, bean curd sticks, vegetarian chicken tofu, bean curd sheets, tofu pudding, tofu curd, fried tofu skin, bean sprouts, soybean paste, fermented black beans, fermented tofu, stinky tofu, oh, and frozen tofu."
"Wait a minute, is there really that many kinds of tofu?"
Lin Dongfang didn't consider himself ignorant, but he still hadn't heard of several of them.
"Can we really make all of this by hand?"
"Well,"
Simple yet uncertain.
"Besides fermented black beans, everything else should be fine, right?"
"Hey, there's always a first time. Give it a try, what if it works?"
Lin Dongfang, what if...
"I'll go back and look for it for you. I remember some books have recipes for it."
"Hey, don't look at me like that. Let's not talk about anything else, just take fermented bean paste. You think every rural household makes it? Have you ever thought about how you can make it in so many different ways?"
"...What kind of trick?"
"When it's cooked in oil, it's called cooked sauce."
It has eggs added, so it's egg sauce.
Adding chili peppers makes it into chili sauce.
Adding beef makes it into beef sauce.
Add cumin, and it becomes cumin meat sauce.
Adding mushrooms makes it into a mushroom sauce.
Add beef and chili peppers, and you have beef hot sauce.
Even without these ingredients, just for seasoning, there are sweet bean sauce, hot and sour sauce, spicy sauce, and garlic sauce.
Let me put it this way: if there were no other dishes but only sauce, and I gave you this much sauce to eat with steamed buns, could you stomach it?
Lin Dongfang imagined it: breaking open a steamed bun, stuffing it with juicy sauce, and suddenly his mouth felt like it was about to water.
"Natural energy."
"What if you put it in a glass bottle and take it out or in a car?"
"Hey, that's so convenient! Isn't it just like canned food?"
