157 I am here to bring you wealth
Dong Shengping was still the first one to come to work. He opened the door early and waited. He stood at the door with a name list and registered the entry time one by one. Aunt Zhong was also helping to take roll call.
Aunt Zhong was watching him register and she said with emotion: "Xiao Dong, you are really good at identifying people. You recognized the name of the person you met yesterday?"
Dong Shengping said: "Remember, I used to lead more soldiers than this."
When he said this, there was light and hope in his eyes. He must miss the days when he led troops and fought side by side with his comrades.
Even someone as thick-skinned as Aunt Zhong felt sorry for him.
When Su Taotao and Xia Zhiqiu arrived, most of the employees had already arrived at their posts, except for a few people who were sending their children to the Yuhong class.
After registering them, Aunt Zhong asked, "Have you settled the two little ones?"
Su Taotao nodded: "It's settled."
"Is everyone here?" Su Taotao asked Dong Shengping.
Dong Shengping: "Except for the two teachers of the Yuhong class, there should be 33 people, and there are 33 people, all present."
Su Taotao: "Okay, after the opening ceremony, I will lead a few people to start the preparations. Zhiqiu, you take a few people to clean up. Aunt Zhong, you lead the rest of the people to wash and dry all the utensils. In half an hour, everyone will gather in the production room."
Xia Zhiqiu and Aunt Zhong nodded: "Okay."
At this time, Xiao Lu also came, carrying in the roast suckling pig that Su Taotao had asked the kitchen to prepare in advance.
"Boiling water, boiling water! Get out of the way! Sister Su, I'm here to bring you good fortune, the roasted pork leg for good fortune is here!"
Su Taotao: “…” What a funny guy.
Yes, Su Taotao wanted the chef to order a roasted suckling pig for her several days in advance. However, pigs were very precious these days and people would not kill them unless they had raised a large pig. Roasting a suckling pig was too luxurious, so she had to settle for the next best thing and asked the chef to help her roast a pig leg.
The canteen spent a lot of time and effort on this roasted pork leg, and in the end it was ordered thanks to Xiao Lu's connections.
When the shiny, golden and fragrant roasted pork leg was brought in, the workers present were stunned and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Aunt Zhong asked two men to move the table out of the security booth, and Xiao Lu put the roasted pork leg on it.
In those days, people were destroying the four olds and feudal superstitions were not allowed. Ceremony such as lighting incense and burning paper to worship gods were omitted. Aunt Zhong only asked Dong Shengping to hang two strings of firecrackers and set them off for festive occasion, and then gave everyone a red envelope of one yuan for the start of work.
But many employees still put their hands together in front of the roasted pork legs, muttered something, and said some words wishing the factory to get better and better.
Xiao Lu skillfully divided the pork leg into thirty-nine portions, and each person got a small piece. Those who had less meat were given more bones, which were delicious when they were taken home to make porridge.
Some employees ate the food right there, leaving their mouths drooling with the delicious taste.
Those with children naturally couldn't bear to eat it, so they prepared to take it back home for their children to eat.
This was an unexpected surprise that no one expected. People these days are easily satisfied, and every employee's face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile.
This simple yet grand groundbreaking ceremony was completed.
Su Taotao gave her portion to Xiao Lu and said, "Take it back and let the chef taste it. He has worked so hard."
Xiao Lu shook his head and said, "No need, you are the factory manager, you should be the one to share in the good fortune. My mother has another portion, the chef and I can just share mine."
Su Taotao nodded: "Okay then, if you have nothing to do, stay and take a look together."
Xiao Lu said, "Okay, I'll go to the factory with you and I can help you supervise next time."
Su Taotao was very satisfied with this clever and capable young man. Xiao Lu was the kind of person who could immediately figure out what you wanted to do in the second half of the sentence after you said the first half to him.
Working with this kind of person is the most worry-free.
This was the first time that Su Taotao was a factory manager and she had never worked in a production workshop. She had no idea what it would take to be a factory manager. She just had to cross the river by feeling the stones and work hard with everyone else.
There is not a single lazy person among this group of selected employees. They are all hardworking people who respond to calls and have work in their eyes.
The preparation work only took about ten to twenty minutes.
In the following time, everyone gathered in the production room. Su Taotao first picked out the male comrades and divided them into several groups, and matched them with the female comrades reasonably to mainly take on tasks such as moving heavy objects, stir-frying in a large pot, pressing sugar... These are relatively strenuous tasks for the female comrades.
Lesbians are mainly responsible for relatively delicate tasks such as lighting fires, chopping coconuts, shredding, preparing ingredients, packaging, etc.
Su Taotao demonstrated it to Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu, and made a pot of sugar as quickly as possible.
Watching her production process, everyone looked at each other in disbelief:
"Director Su? Is the candy we make so simple?"
"This is candy? Isn't that too simple?"
"Yes, this is easy for others to steal."
…
Su Taotao asked Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu to give one piece to each employee.
Su Taotao said, "Yes, it is that simple. Do you remember the confidentiality agreement on the last page of your contract? The production process and formula of this coconut candy are so simple that anyone can make it at home, so we ask you to keep it secret and not leak it. Everyone will definitely think that it is so simple that someone will imitate it sooner or later, right? Don't worry, this is just the first product we launched."
Su Taotao nodded her head and said, "I have at least dozens or even hundreds of candy making methods here. In the future, I will launch many other candies that others cannot imitate. But we must eat one bite at a time and take one step at a time. This simplest coconut candy is our first step forward."
Su Taotao paused for a moment and said, "Everyone, remember, you and I are all the first employees of this factory. We must have a sense of ownership and rise and fall with the factory. When it comes to future promotions, everyone here will be the first choice. Only when the factory gets better and better will you get better and better."
The employees never thought that such a simple coconut candy could be so delicious. After eating the coconut candy, the employees were excited and excited:
"We will never tell anyone what we know about Director Su. We stand together with the factory."
"Yes, my husband at home won't tell us either, so we will keep it a secret."
“We also want the factory to be good, and we all want better and better things to happen!”
…
Su Taotao nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything else, just produce according to this standard and start working."
Making coconut candy is a matter of hands-on work, and does not require much technical skills. The workers are divided into five groups of five, and the remaining few mobile workers are deployed wherever they are needed. After completing the entire assembly line, they have a good understanding of each other even though it is their first time working together.
At the beginning, Su Taotao personally checked the proportions of ingredients for each pot of coconut sugar and controlled the heat.
Pot after pot of coconut candy comes out of the oven. It is poured into molds while hot, compacted and cut into pieces. After it cools down, it is packaged and finally she is responsible for quality control.
After seeing each person's actual work status and performance in the team, the candidate for team leader can be almost selected.
