He said, "Whether you want to hire Xiao Fu or Xiao Che, I know one thing: the people you keep by your side must be loyal and reliable. This is also my way of employing people."

Du Juan nodded. "That's what I'm worried about, too. Xiao Fu and Xiao Che have good abilities, but their character remains to be seen. We need to train new people, and I don't have the energy and time for that right now."

Seeing that she was worried, Shen Chaobei sat over, held her hand and comforted her:

"Take your time. Xiaomai still has some abilities. Use them first and then replace them when you find a suitable candidate."

Du Juan leaned her head on his shoulder and responded softly, then asked, "Chaobei, tell me the truth, are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that my business will fail, and all the money we've saved over the past ten years will be wasted, and our whole family will go back to the hard times we had before."

Shen Chaobei lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Juan, do you want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

Shen Chaobei took the wine glass from her hand and drank all the wine in the glass. Then he held the glass and said with emotion: "I often think that we now have a car, a house, and 10 million in savings. Even if we do nothing, we can live a rich and comfortable life for the rest of our lives."

"But starting a business is your dream. As a man, if you can't give your woman the life she wants, it's a failure in itself. All I can do now is to fully support you."

"It doesn't matter if we fail. We are still young. We can just start over again."

Du Juan rubbed her face against his shoulder with emotion, "We will definitely succeed. Fuwang is a century-old brand with reliable products and strong brand competitiveness. We can sell spicy strips and dried tofu all over the country. There is no reason why such a good brand cannot succeed."

"Well, I'll help you."

"There's one more thing I want to ask you. Why did you suddenly change your mind and agree to quit your job and start a business with me?"

"That day, my younger sister came to see me..."

After listening to what Shen Mingzhu said to Shen Chaobei, Du Juan couldn't help but feel admiration for her.

"I thought my younger sister would become estranged from us because of my resignation and withdrawal of shares, but I was being petty."

"My little sister is not a stingy person."

"Yes, she is still the same as before."

…

Spring City.

Looking at the brand new and shiny machines in the sterile laboratory through the huge glass window, Xia Wushuang was confused. "Boss Shen, what are these used for?"

"You'll know in a moment. Come on, change your clothes and get to work."

Hearing Shen Mingzhu's call, Xia Wushuang rubbed his flat stomach and said, "Boss Shen, why don't we go eat something first? Aren't you hungry?"

In the afternoon, after Shen Mingzhu took the car keys and left the factory, she and Xia Wushuang drove directly to Quancheng.

It took the two of them six hours to drive the four hundred kilometers, taking turns.

Although I had some desserts to fill my stomach, I still felt uncomfortable without a proper meal.

"Don't worry, you'll have something to eat later."

Hearing this, Xia Wushuang thought that Shen Mingzhu had already made arrangements, and that someone would deliver dinner or there would be a dinner party or something, so he happily followed Shen Mingzhu to change clothes.

After changing into disinfection caps, masks, goggles, gloves and shoe covers, the two entered the sterile laboratory.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, but the lights in the laboratory were still on, as if they were waiting for Shen Mingzhu to come.

"Sister Shen."

Shen Mingzhu was quite surprised to see Meng Xiaoyang.

"Meng Jishu, long time no see."

Meng Xiaoyang smiled like a flower, "I heard you were coming, so I came here to wait for you. Have you had dinner?"

"No!" Xia Wushuang answered quickly.

Shen Mingzhu glared at her and explained to Meng Xiaoyang with a smile: "Let's eat after we finish our work."

Meng Xiaoyang immediately said, "Then I'll book a restaurant first, and we'll go together after I'm done. I haven't eaten yet."

"Okay."

Led by the laboratory staff, the three came to the CNC operating table.

I saw the staff operating in front of the counter, setting various parameters, and then the huge machinery behind started to operate.

Afterwards, the staff led the three people to the production line.

The staff will put the proofed dough and prepared fillings into different containers in turn.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

After a roar of mechanical operation, standard and round doughs fell onto the conveyor belt like a hen laying eggs, and were then sent to the molding line, where they were uniformly molded and finally sent to the baking oven for the first baking.

Five minutes later, the mooncakes that have finished the first baking process are transferred to the next process - the cooling table.

Afterwards, the cooled mooncakes are transferred to the next process - brushing with egg liquid and baking for the second time.

During this process, the previous steps are still repeated in the making and production of mooncakes.

The entire production process is fully automated and requires no manual operation.

Xia Wushuang was stunned. "Boss Shen, is this the real strength you are talking about?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded, "Using fully automated production lines to replace manual labor can not only increase production capacity, but also save a lot of manpower."

“But can mooncakes made by machines taste good?”

"You'll know if it tastes good after you try it."

Twenty minutes later, the first batch of mooncakes was officially completed.

The freshly baked mooncakes were steaming hot, but Xia Wushuang couldn't wait for them to cool down. He picked up the mooncakes cut into small squares with a fork and put them into his mouth while blowing on them.

"Sister Shen, here you go."

Meng Xiaoyang was also very curious about what the mooncakes made on the assembly line tasted like. He picked up a piece like a gentleman and handed it to Shen Mingzhu before tasting it himself.

"The taste is average, and the crust is a bit hard, not as soft as the ones made by our workers." Xia Wushuang was the first to express his opinion.

Meng Xiaoyang knew nothing about mooncakes and didn't eat many of them, so he didn't say anything.

Shen Mingzhu explained: "It's not a big problem. The dough is not well fermented. The ratio of water, oil and syrup is not right. The filling is also a semi-finished product on the market. Once we replace it with our own dough and filling, the mooncakes we make will definitely be different."

Hearing her say this, Xia Wushuang couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

"With these machines, how much can we increase the production of mooncakes?"

A research and development staff member nearby explained: "One assembly line can produce 1,500 mooncakes per hour, which means 15,000 mooncakes in ten hours. Based on a 90% pass rate, the number of finished products is about 13,500."

Xia Wushuang opened his eyes wide, "13,500 qualified mooncakes can be produced in ten hours. If we run 24 hours a day, the output will be 32,400?"

"Boss Shen, if we can have three production lines, can't we produce 100,000 mooncakes a day?"

Hearing this, the R&D staff hurriedly explained with a smile: "That won't work. Machines, like people, need rest and adjustment, and they also need to be inspected and maintained every day. It is recommended that the daily working hours should not exceed ten hours." (End of this chapter)
