Since the soap factory became famous, we have received more and more orders.
He Xianqiu looked at the soap factory that was developing better and better and curled his eyes.
Especially in recent days, He Xianqiu received an order from another province.
It’s a big shopping mall in E City. The soap costs 5,000 yuan, and other soaps also cost 5,000 yuan each.
As for how people from other provinces know Qinggang, it all starts with the loyal customers of the Qinggang Soap Factory.
The client was a 20-year-old female comrade named Chen Yun, who went to E City to visit a relative, and the relative she visited was Director Chen of the E City Shopping Mall.
At that time, Director Chen smelled a fragrance and asked curiously why it smelled so good.
Chen Yun immediately told Director Li that this was the soap made by their soap factory in Province G. It was very fragrant for bathing and came in many varieties.
Chen Yun praised the soap highly, which immediately aroused Director Chen's interest.
Just as Chen Yun arrived, two bars of soap had arrived and one was given to Director Chen.
Director Chen used it when he got home, and it turned out that the soap really smelled good after taking a shower. The most important thing was that the fragrance lasted for a long time.
Director Chen, the person in charge of the shopping mall, immediately smelled a business opportunity, and he called the Qinggang Soap Factory the next day.
After agreeing on the price with He Xianqiu on the same day, he immediately asked He Xianqiu to send out the contract.
He Xianqiu was a little surprised when he received the call from another province, but he soon started talking to Director Chen.
After the negotiation, both parties were happy.
However, we have to wait until the contract is signed before He Xianqiu will start shipping the goods.
Director Li will wait until the contract is signed before transferring the money.
After waiting for several days, the two parties finally signed the contract.
Director Chen remitted half of the money to He Xianqiu. After receiving the money, He Xianqiu immediately increased production.
But now the soap factory was running out of oil, so He Xianqiu called the meat processing factory.
But the meat processing plant said it couldn't provide so much oil.
He Xianqiu has been in the team recently and no one knows what happened.
So I immediately had some doubts: "Can't provide it?"
Director Li sighed and said with a headache: "Many pigs in the meat processing plant died of disease, and it was a large-scale death, so we can't give you that much pig fat now."
"Swine fever?" He Xianqiu asked uncertainly.
Director Li on the other end of the phone said worriedly, "Yes, it's swine fever, and it's not just in our county that's had an outbreak, it's also in the city and county. Now a large number of pigs have died of the disease, and the meat processing plant has suffered a huge loss, and people are in a panic."
After the outbreak of African swine fever, many people were afraid to buy pork, and they dared not sell the remaining pigs in the meat processing plants directly. They had to wait until the veterinarian confirmed that the pigs were not infected before they dared to sell them.
These pigs can only guarantee the supply in the county town and there is no way to ship them to the soap factory.
Although Director Li felt sorry, he also knew that the most important thing now was to ensure the supply of pork to the workers.
He Xianqiu frowned as she listened to what Director Li said.
At this time, the swine fever broke out, and He Xianqiu had no way to get pork fat from the meat processing plant.
The first is that the meat processing plant has insufficient supply, and they need to ensure that there is no shortage of pork in the county so that workers can buy pork.
The second is that there was a large-scale outbreak of swine fever in Province G. Even if He Xianqiu went to other places to buy pork fat, he might not be able to buy it.
Thirdly, although the meat processing plant has invited a veterinarian to take a look, He Xianqiu does not plan to buy pork fat just to be extra cautious.
After all, the lard used to make soap and perfumed soap must go through layers of inspection before it can be used.
He Xianqiu got a headache when he thought about the fact that lard could no longer be used.
What bothered He Xianqiu the most was that the soap factory had many orders, all of which were urgent, and there were only two weeks left before the orders were shipped.
Two weeks seemed like plenty of time, but in fact, He Xianqiu didn't have much time left, after all, there were a lot of orders.
Now without lard, it would be impossible to make soap or perfumed soap.
If we can’t produce the products, we won’t be able to deliver them to customers.
This put He Xianqiu under a lot of pressure. If the goods could not be shipped, the soap factory would suffer a lot of losses.
Of course it wasn't just the loss of money, but also the loss of the soap factory's reputation.
What happens during the production process is not important, what matters is the result.
If the result is that a large number of orders cannot be shipped, it will be an immeasurable loss for the soap factory.
It will also destroy the reputation that the soap factory has built up over the past few months.
It may even lead to the loss of many customers, which will affect the future development of the soap factory.
Thinking of this, He Xianqiu became extremely worried.
But in order to get orders, He Xianqiu had to find other oils to replace pork fat in a short period of time.
He Xianqiu thought of chicken fat, which also contains a lot of oil.
But because there are too few parts of the chicken that can be used to produce oil, the oil produced after frying is not as much as pork fat.
Therefore, most people choose to use pork lard to make oil, rather than choosing a small amount of chicken fat for frying.
Moreover, few people eat chicken fat at this time, so He Xianqiu doesn’t know how the chicken fat is processed at this time.
But the most important thing now is that He Xianqiu has to find chicken fat to replace pork fat.
So He Xianqiu packed up his things that day and hurried to the county town.
Now that swine fever has broken out, other meats are also in short supply. When He Xianqiu went to the chicken factory, he saw many people buying chicken at the entrance of the factory.
Everyone gathered together noisily to grab the chicken, and those who were quick to grab it would immediately weigh it, pay for it, and get a ticket.
He Xianqiu walked through the crowd and came to the door of the chicken factory.
She asked the old man guarding the door, "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for the director of your factory. Can I speak to him?"
"What do you want to see our factory director for?" the old man asked suspiciously.
He Xianqiu said, "I want the fat from the chicken, and I want a large amount. Can you tell the director of the factory?"
“Chicken fat? What do you need it for…” The old man was a little confused.
“You need it to make soap.”
"So oil is needed to make soap. You wait here for a while." The old man suddenly realized.
He Xianqiu nodded and watched the old man enter the factory.
Soon the old man came out and said to He Xianqiu, "Go in, and remember to go to office 201 on the second floor."
"Okay, thank you uncle." He Xianqiu thanked the uncle.
After saying that, he took a step forward and walked in quickly.
At this time, the director of the chicken factory was already waiting in the office.
As soon as He Xianqiu entered, he saw the director of the chicken factory.
When the other person saw her, he stood up and said, "Hello, comrade, is it you who is looking for me?"
"Hello, Director. My last name is He."
"Hello Comrade He, my last name is He."
"Hello, Director He. I want to buy chicken fat from your chicken factory."
Director He asked: "Chicken fat? How much do you want?"
"30,000 jin."
Director He frowned. Thirty thousand kilograms! That's too much. The chicken factory can't provide that much. After all, the amount of chicken fat is not much. It's all piled up from the chicken fat of every chicken.
"The most we can give you is five thousand kilograms, no more."
He Xianqiu was a little disappointed to hear that he could only get 5,000 kilograms, but he had to take it even if it was less. At worst, he could go to other chicken factories and get 30,000 kilograms.
"What about the price?"
"I'll give you 15 cents a pound."
The price is very reasonable, 5,000 kilograms is only 750 yuan, and no ticket is required.
But He Xianqiu still started to bargain, after all, the cheaper the better.
"Can I get 1.3 yuan per pound?"
"Okay, then it's 1.3 cents per pound."
"Then I'll take them all."
Director He was quite happy to sell the chicken fat. After all, almost no one bought it. He Xianqiu asked if it could be sent to the Qinggang Brigade.
He immediately waved his hand and ordered someone to send the chicken fat to the soap factory of Qinggang Brigade.
After He Xianqiu bought 5,000 kilograms, he hurried to the next store.
But there were only two chicken factories in the county, and after He Xianqiu ran around, there was still one left.
He went to another chicken factory, but that factory could only give He Xianqiu 7,000 kilograms of chicken fat at most.
Although the quantity was small, He Xianqiu still bought it.
But all of these added up to only 12,000 kilograms, which was not enough for the 30,000 kilograms she wanted, and it was still a long way from 30,000 kilograms.
In the end, He Xianqiu had to go to the city again, but when He Xianqiu left the chicken factory, he met Ji Chenzhou.
As soon as the other person saw her, he immediately walked towards her.
"Qiuqiu, I finally found it."
When Ji Chenzhou went to the soap factory today, he heard that He Xianqiu had gone to the county town to look for oil. He immediately rushed from the brigade to the county town to find He Xianqiu.
"Zhou Zhou, I have to go to the city to buy some more chicken fat. The chicken factory in the county can't give me that much."
Ji Chenzhou nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Then the two of them took a bus and went to the city.
As soon as they arrived in the city, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou went to the chicken factory.
When He Xianqiu ran to the first chicken factory, the director of the factory was not there, so she and Ji Chenzhou had to change to another one.
In the end, I only bought 10,000 kilograms, but the price was cheaper than in the county town, just one cent per kilogram.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou went to several stores before they could get the chicken fat together.
Fearing that 30,000 kilograms of chicken fat would not be enough, He Xianqiu added another 10,000 kilograms.
Although the price in the city is much cheaper, the other party considers the freight too high and does not intend to help transport it to the team. After all, the freight is dozens of yuan, so the chicken factory is unwilling to do so.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou had no choice but to find a truck to transport the chicken fat back.
And it has to be fast, after all, the city is far away from Qinggang Brigade, more than 100 kilometers away.
The truck was not a refrigerated truck and the weather was hot, so He Xianqiu was afraid that the chicken fat would go bad on the way.
Then all the efforts will be wasted and it will be a complete wasted trip.
Fortunately, Ji Chenzhou knew the transport team here. After negotiating the price on the spot, he loaded the chicken fat onto the truck and went to Qinggang Brigade.
He Xianqiu ran all the way today and was extremely tired. He fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.
Ji Chenzhou felt so distressed when he saw He Xianqiu’s exhausted appearance.
He carefully let He Xianqiu rest his head on his legs.
This made He Xianqiu sleep more comfortably, and his frown relaxed.
