Gu Weiliang didn't get involved in what was happening here, and they prepared their own lunch.
Zhang Luyao also allocated an area for them in the factory yard for them to make fire and boil sugar, and rented them an empty room to store and dry brown sugar.
Although they worked in the same factory, they were clearly divided into two camps.
Because of the joining of Gu Weiliang and others, Zhang Luyao simply named the factory the Non-staple Food Factory.
Of course, in the early days they mainly focused on making soy products!
Other supplementary food items may be added later depending on the situation!
On their side, the person who guides the employees in making soy products is Xu Nanxing!
In fact, there are one or two aunts in the village who can make tofu. They usually make it two or three times a month. People who want to eat tofu will take a bag of beans and exchange them for tofu.
They didn't make much money from this bartering method, but they could earn enough food for the family for half a month.
Of course, some people also recommended these two aunts to Zhang Luyao.
After all, they have rich experience in making tofu. Your newly opened soy product factory must need experienced people to help make tofu, right?
I don’t know what they were thinking, but many aunties in the village came to the factory for job interviews, but only these two aunties who were famous for making tofu did not come for the interview.
Zhang Luyao doesn't care what others think, there is no way she will recruit these two people!
It's not about what kind of character someone has.
The main reason is that hers is a new factory and all the other employees are newcomers. Suddenly, an employee with his own "resume" appears, which can easily suppress other employees and automatically become the "boss" of all employees!
This is absolutely something Zhang Luyao would not allow!
Her factory only allows her and Xu Nanxing to be two managers, and will never allow anyone else to compete with them!
This is the authority that must be established in the early stages of the establishment of the new field!
Never allow anyone to challenge your authority!
Only by establishing such a management foundation will we not be constrained in doing anything later!
Just like this time, Zhang Luyao proposed to build a canteen in the factory to provide lunch for all employees.
She proposed this decision, and Xu Nanxing nodded in agreement without thinking it mattered. The decision was then implemented.
And if a third voice arises, saying that caring about a meal is a waste of food and money, then it will fall into a power struggle and endless tug-of-war, and the matter will be shelved.
Then the lunch time will be greatly wasted.
For example, Zhang Luyao suggested that lunch only require some whole grains like black and white steamed buns, and Xu Nanxing didn't care, since she didn't like eating in the cafeteria anyway, so the decision was passed.
But if a third voice comes along and says that the steamed buns are not tasty and the portion is too small to be filling, and that we should give the employees something good as a reward, then we will be caught in another stalemate.
That Lu Yao will definitely be annoyed to death!
So she wanted to nip the possibility of competing with it in the bud.
As for Xu Nanxing, she is a bit lazy. If Zhang Luyao hadn't insisted on asking her to help, Xu Nanxing would rather stay in the cowshed every day.
So Zhang Luyao was not worried at all that Xu Nanxing would contradict her.
However, since Xu Nanxing received modern education and her philosophy is consistent with Zhang Luyao's, Zhang Luyao forced her to come and help her!
As for how to make soy products in the factory, she also planned to leave it to Xu Nanxing.
Because after Zhang Luyao really planned to open a soy product factory, Xu Nanxing started downloading video tutorials related to soy products on the Internet.
After all, her best friend has worked so hard, so she should also help her, right?
She also made the relevant tutorials into a document and printed it out directly.
It is also easier to make it by comparing it with the text data!
Xu Nanxing strictly follows the tutorial to direct employees in practical operations.
The raw materials purchased by the factory are soybeans, which are of course provided by the supplier Xu Nanxing.
Soak the washed soybeans overnight in advance, then put them into a stone mill, add clean water, and grind out soy milk.
Then pour the ground soy milk into a cloth bag and filter it.
The filtered bean dregs can be made into cakes, which can be eaten by people or fed to livestock.
Pour the filtered soy milk into a large pot and cook it, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
After the soy milk boils, use a thin bamboo stick to pick out the bean skin on top and set it aside. After drying, it becomes bean curd sheets.
After the soy milk has been standing for a while, pour in a certain proportion of white vinegar, and then stir it slowly. You will find that the soy milk will form flocs, which is tofu pudding.
Then put gauze on the prepared mold, pour the tofu pudding in, cover it with gauze, close the lid, and put something heavy on it.
Once the tofu pudding slowly takes shape, the tofu is almost ready.
If it is pressed for a shorter time, it becomes tender tofu; if it is pressed for a longer time, it becomes ordinary tofu, firm tofu, or dried tofu.
It was their first time making tofu, and because Xu Nanxing strictly controlled the process according to the data, they were very successful in making tofu and bean curd sheets.
The quality of the final products was also good, which gave Zhang Luyao and Xu Nanxing full confidence!
Then I continued to study other soy products such as bean skin, tofu pudding, tofu puff, fermented tofu, stinky tofu, and bean curd sheets.
Zhang Luyao also directly obtained the management rights of the village's sales outlets, after all, she was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
This small sales outlet in the village has only one employee, and the products sold are some bulk cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, tea, paper, and bowls.
Zhang Luyao arranged to sell the soy products produced by the factory here.
Because soft tofu has a high water content, it is cheaper, selling for only 7 cents per pound.
Tofu costs 8 cents per pound, and soy milk costs 3 cents per bowl.
Most importantly, none of these require tickets!
Originally, Zhang Luyao suggested that Gu Weiliang sell the brown sugar they made at the agency point.
However, Gu Weiliang and others declined the proposal.
Because if you sell it in a supply and marketing cooperative, the price can’t be raised, it’s very uneconomical!
In this era, brown sugar is actually a nutritional supplement second only to milk powder and malted milk.
Selling them at a few cents per pound in the supply and marketing cooperatives, they can hardly even make back their capital.
You should know that Xu Nanxing alone earned dozens of dollars from them.
Later they also found other people to help, which was very costly for individuals.
So they would rather sell it privately than at a low price in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
According to the market price at the supply and marketing cooperative, the general price of brown sugar is 50 cents per pound.
Gu Weiliang and his colleagues can sell it privately for 2-3 yuan per catty.
This time they produced about 50 kilograms of brown sugar.
As long as this batch of sugar is sold successfully, they can make their money back!
Only when you can make sugar in the future, will you start making money!
