"I don't dare to say whether there is a market for exports. [No pop-up novel website] But the demand for rice noodles for personal use will definitely be huge - I think you might as well put it into production." Huang Dashan said to Xun Suji, "The executive committee will meet in the autumn We started to work on the plan to open up independent fields, and thousands of people gathered on the beach. It was easy to cook with rice noodles. Just add water and seasonings and cook it. It was easier than noodles - noodles had to be alkaline water."
"Okay, I'll start producing rice noodles. Making rice noodles is easy and doesn't require much equipment..."
"Haha, do you think you're still making rice noodles in the canteen? You can only make rice noodles of a few dozen kilograms at most. We have to aim for a thousand kilograms or tens of thousands of kilograms. There is a big difference between industrial manufacturing and manual manufacturing. Ask the people at the machine shop to buy you some food processing machines."
"If you put it this way." Mo Xiao'an was a little depressed, "I'm afraid MSG won't be able to pass - although sweet potatoes are not valuable, they are also food."
"Sweet potato deep-processed products like MSG may be allowed to be exported. As long as the added value is high enough. If a ton of sweet potatoes can be exchanged for a ton of rice or hundreds of kilograms of pig iron, Ma Qianzhu will definitely agree."
Mo Xiao'an really couldn't guarantee that the MSG made from one ton of sweet potatoes would have such a high profit.
"This is not guaranteed. However, the Japanese made a lot of money when they sold MSG to China in the 1920s. No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty was in the 1920s, we are not necessarily worse than the Japanese."
"In a few days, Zhang Xin will return to Lingao to report on his work. Talk to him." Huang Dashan said to Mo Xiao'an, "He is in Guangzhou and his understanding of the market is better than our random guessing. .”
Huang Dashan said that it is actually not difficult to make MSG. As long as you have bacterial strains and control the fermentation conditions, you can ferment it with starch or simpler sweet potato dry powder. You can have as much or as little as you want - as long as there is starch or something containing starch.
"Yeast is a very mysterious thing," Huang Dashan said with excitement as he talked about his profession. "Bacteria are really cute..."
Mo Xiaoan and Xun Suji couldn't help but stay away from him. So as not to get infected with his "cute germs".
"This is the fermentation workshop," Huang Dashan pointed to a row of elevated, frame-structured factory buildings at the other end of the yard, with sealed pots and stoves heated by steam or gas.
Although they are said to be yeast workshops, they are actually separate. There are several kinds of things that Huang Dashan ferments in it.
There is a disinfection pool at the entrance of each workshop, which contains lime water. You must walk through it to enter and exit. It is a basic disinfection measure.
"This is to avoid contamination by miscellaneous bacteria." Huang Dashan explained, "Some product ferments do not have high environmental requirements, while others are more troublesome."
There are now several products in the fermentation workshop that use starch or directly use sweet potatoes: in addition to MSG, which Mo Xiaoan is preparing to make money in Daming, there is also kvass, which is now popular in canteens; vinegar that directly uses sweet potato fermentation; and finally, chemicals and food The important additive citric acid is needed in both. The production process of the latter is relatively complex and occupies a large factory building alone.
“There’s nothing interesting inside, it’s mainly large and small pots, fermentation tanks and pipes.” Huang Dashan said, “I will come here often to take care of this part of the fermentation.”
MSG is currently produced in small batches, with each output being no more than 20 to 30 kilograms. It is mainly supplied to various canteens. Huang Dashan said that if export channels can be opened, large-scale production will not be a problem.
"The equipment of the food factory is very primitive and the scale is not large." After inspecting the entire factory, Mo Xiao'an said to Xun Suji in the office of the director of the food factory, "In addition to the sweet potato workshop, there is also the fermentation workshop. You have to find ways to expand some new varieties. In addition to exporting production, we also need it ourselves."
This order made Xun Suji feel heavy pressure. After holding it in for a long time, he uttered: "I will find a way."
"Okay, use your brain more." Mo Xiao'an said, "You know: the food factory belongs to Lingao Cereals, Oils and Food Corporation. In theory, it is under the dual management of the Committee of Agriculture and the Ministry of Light Industry. I am the general manager. Wu Nanhai is the deputy general manager. In fact, neither I nor Wu Nanhai manage it well - there are too many things. So until now, the so-called head office is still a short seller. I discussed it with Wu Nanhai a few days ago, and I I am going to resign from the position of general manager. Wu Nanhai will be the general manager and you will be the executive deputy general manager - from now on you will be in charge. With the food factory as the core, you can gradually support the entire head office."
Xun Suji was shocked this time. He started as the director of a food factory, and before he got too hot he became the vice president of a grain and oil company, rising to three levels in a row.
"This," he said a little incoherently, "the responsibility is too great..."
"It's okay. Who doesn't have a big responsibility? The guy who used to be the company commander is now the commander-in-chief of the Army. The guy who used to have a bachelor's degree in law is now the president of the court - he looks like he wants to be the minister of justice. You This former chef is a professional counterpart when he is the manager of a grain and oil company."
Mo Xiaoan briefly introduced the situation of the grain and oil company to him. Generally speaking, there are four major parts of the assets under the name of a grain and oil company.
First, let’s go through the earliest industry of the Group: the water-powered mill on the Wenlan River. After several expansions, this mill has become the largest grain processing plant in Lingao. In addition to the water turbine, a steam engine was also installed to work when there was insufficient water. Recently, the Works and Energy Commission installed a set of spiral cold-pressed oil equipment for this workshop. Specially used to process dried coconut shipped from Yulin.
"The grain and oil processing plants are now directly managed by the Committee of Agriculture, so you don't have to deal with the specific management and production details."
"Okay, I don't know how to grind rice and extract oil anyway."
The second is the earliest food processing plant of the Council of Agriculture in Bobu - Bobu Seafood Processing Plant. Xun Suji is very familiar with this factory - most of the ingredients in the canteen are supplied here. It can process salted fish, grilled dried fish, fish slabs, fish 1u, fish oil, dried sea vegetables and fish meal. Runs very well.
Then there is the slaughterhouse of Nanhai Farm. The original plan was to upgrade it to a meat processing plant. In addition to slaughtering and providing fresh meat, it was also preparing to manufacture bacon, sausages, ham and the like. But at this stage, meat itself is scarce. On good days when pigs and sheep are slaughtered, almost nothing is left, including the bones and skin. The so-called meat processing industry has so far produced several kilograms of dried meat to supply to personnel working in remote fields.
Finally, there is the newly built food factory.
Mo Xiaoan said that based on the discussion between him and Wu Nanhai: the Agricultural Committee is in charge of grain and oil plants and seafood processing plants, and the light industry department is in charge of meat factories and food plants. The administrative affairs of the Grain and Oil Corporation are handled by Xun Suji, the executive deputy general manager.
"That's it. Any questions?"
"Not yet." Xun Suji had no idea for a while and didn't dare to express his opinion.
"It's okay! Wu Nanhai is a very cooperative person." Seeing his confused look, Mo Xiao'an comforted him, "If you have any questions, talk to him more and he will definitely help. After all, he is the general manager!"
He turned to look at the office again. The room smelled of limewash, raw paint, and new wood. The walls are painted white. Paired with a newly made desk, filing cabinets, and a few wicker chairs, it looks very much like a state-owned enterprise office in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Are you satisfied here?"
"Very good." Xun Suji nodded repeatedly.
"There is one drawback, there is no power distribution here yet." Mo Xiaoan said with a little regret. Due to conservation of wires and distribution equipment, many newly built non-critical facilities now do not have power supply. Food factories do not have motors or even wires. Therefore, when working at night, we can only light gas lamps for lighting.
"My power distribution quota is not in vain!" This is what Xun Suji never forgets.
"I have no choice but to hold on, there will be bread." Mo Xiaoan said nonchalantly.
After Mo Xiaoan handed over all the procedures and related documents, he slipped away. He still has things to deal with in the garment factory, and the other thing he said in front of Mr. Wen: "The small businessmen can't take away the money even when they come" - he has to come up with several kinds of goods that can bring the small businessmen's goods with them. New products left behind.
Xun Suji sat alone in the office, looking at the snow-white walls, the standard desk and filing cabinets, and a box of documents and account books from food factories and grain and oil companies, thinking about what he should do first.
Logically speaking, when a new official takes office, he must first want to achieve something. Xun Suji's mind was on his large box of personal goods. The common feature of these things is that they cannot be used without electricity. Since there was no electricity in the food factory, I thought it would be better to go back to the dormitory area to sleep. At least there was electricity there.
Originally, he planned to discuss with Xiao Zishan whether he could be given a single dormitory so that he could use his quota without disturbing his roommates. This is not difficult to do now: many people stay overnight in their work departments, and there are many people sleeping in a dormitory of four people. Xiao Zishan will definitely agree.
Xiao Zishan said that it is okay to arrange a separate room for one person, but if he is in the dormitory area, his extra electricity quota will be invalid. In order to avoid disturbing others in the dormitory, all lights in the dormitory area are turned off as soon as bedtime arrives. Regardless of whether you have extra electricity quota or not, you have to sleep. If you want to read and play on the computer, you have to go to the public recreation room. But that's only until midnight there.
"By the way, don't I have a secretary?" Xun Suji's eyes lit up. It’s easier to do with free labor.
He quickly called Xiao Zishan and said that he did not want a separate dormitory and would rather live in the office of the food factory. But he deserves a secretary.
"Of course she's a girl. She can help me with laundry and other things. But she must be strong, not weak, and yes, she must be able to do heavy work."
"There's no requirement for looks or anything, right?"
"No, I'm just doing it for work. It's good that I don't look intimidating. I want to be clean."
The administrative trainee from Laide is a girl, dark and thin. Its appearance is unattractive. She introduced herself in Mandarin that was not very proficient but could be understood basically and said her name was Jin Xishan and she was eighteen or nineteen years old this year. He came from Fujian and was an orphan and a runaway slave. As for why she wanted to flee, during the political trial, everyone thought she would say it was because she was abused by her master, or intended to rape, but they did not expect that the real reason was that the master did not allow the maids in the family to get married.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, local wealthy people in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places had the so-called "maidservant" custom. The maidservants in the family were never worthy of anyone after they reached adulthood and stayed at home to serve until they died of old age. This very inhumane approach is to prevent damage to your property. After all, most of the maidservants were raised from childhood. No matter how much money they can get from marrying, they will never be worth the usefulness of an adult woman's labor force.
Jin Xishan ran to Guangdong in a daze and almost fell into the hands of human traffickers. He was almost "robbed" of his marriage by a wifeless peasant in the countryside. After a lot of wandering, he was rescued by someone who raised a flag, and then ended up in Lingao.
Kim Heesan? Xun Suji couldn't connect the person in front of him with the artificial beauty - this was too "real". I don’t know which Korean element obtained it.
Fortunately, Xun Suji didn't expect what she would look like. But can such a girl be considered "strong"?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he packed up his things in the dormitory, he immediately saw the hard work of ancient working women. He brought a lot of equipment, including a box full of technical information, microfilm and related reading equipment, astronomical telescopes, hand-cranked vehicle-level capacitors, Various tools, computers, and a large box filled with various digital products, plus a set of extremely heavy coated paper encyclopedias. These items have almost never been unpacked since D-Day. There is no place to stall in the dormitory, and there is no electricity.
Xun Suji opened his folding bicycle and bundled basic maintenance tools and accessories on the bicycle. For other things, he asked Jin Xishan to find Xiao Zishan and sent two laborers to help move the things.
Jin Xishan only borrowed a "Zidian" wheelbarrow and started to bundle all the miscellaneous equipment on the car. Then with a fierce force, he pushed the wheelbarrow carrying nearly 200 kilograms up. Xun Suji was stunned.
"Hey, hey, it's too heavy. Let's invite two people."
"Chief Xiao said we have to wait an hour for someone to arrive, and the time is up. Let's go, there is another cart." Jin Xishan pushed the cart to the farm without caring. He was talking while pushing the cart, his expression remained calm and he was out of breath.
Not only did Jin Xishan not rest during the entire journey, she also talked and chatted with Xun Suji along the way. He was talking while pushing the cart, his expression remained calm and he was out of breath.
After arriving at the office, I unloaded my things and didn't rest. I immediately went back to the dormitory area and transported all the remaining belongings in one go. The unloaded things were piled up in a big pile - Xun Suji himself never thought that he would bring so many things. Jin Xishan took out the broom, wooden basin, rag and soap that she had just received from the Planning Commission warehouse from the car. horn. Cleaning up, moving furniture, hanging curtains... I was very busy. Xun Suji just watched blankly, unable to do anything-except when he asked him for instructions on which luggage to put where, he showed some value.
Xun Suji entered his bedroom and saw that the table had been cleaned, thin bamboo curtains were hung on the windows, a kerosene lamp was placed on the desk with white wood stubble, and everything was neatly placed. together.
"Are you satisfied with it?"
"Very good." Xun Suji nodded with satisfaction. The secretary is really a good thing. No wonder everyone has been longing for the executive committee to be matched.
Jin Xishan opened her luggage again and packed it away. Her bedroom was arranged in a small room next to it. Although Xun Suji had no idea at first, when he saw that his secretary lived next door, he couldn't help but wish that Kim Heesan was more beautiful...
He unpacked the hand crank motor by himself. This thing had not been unpacked since D-Day. Connect it to your up, battery pack, and vehicle-grade capacitors one by one, and finally take out a wiring board. As if to make up for the regret that he hadn't played with them for almost a year, Xun Suji put all the pp, digital cameras, notebooks and other things in one go.
"Okay, Xiaojin, you come and shake this handle every afternoon until the light turns green, do you understand?" Xun Suji said seriously, "This is a very important task. It must be completed on time!"
"Yes, long."
With this human flesh charger, you can fully enjoy the wonderful time of being an otaku at night. Although the 3D characters in front of me are not very "cute", the 2D world is still perfect.
After fully arranging his little life, Xun Suji began to think about what to do to ensure that his salary could be maintained for a long time.
Mo Xiaoan asked him to do something good. Where does this performance come from? Exporting goods and the like are too complicated, so it's better to let Mo Xiao'an worry about it. It is more realistic for me to start by expanding the variety of supplies.
He read the production diagram of the food factory workshop on the wall several times, and checked the supply records and the list of raw materials available from the farm. After studying for a while, he picked up the phone, found Wu De's office phone number in the "Administrative Staff Address Book" he had just obtained, and dialed it.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yanghe in the quarantine camp received a notice to include among the immigrants who had passed the quarantine period and were waiting for allocation, the workers in the soy sauce garden, those who made tofu, those who opened the groats, those who had worked as cooks, those who had worked as waiters in restaurants, and The butchers were all cleared out, and the general manager was sent to the food factory. Wu De also selected a few people from the commune members who had expertise in this field but had not yet gone anywhere.
Xun Suji’s first step was to separate the cafeteria’s workshop function. After communicating with Wu Nanhai and Xiao Zishan, all the indigenous employees and equipment originally responsible for making tofu in the canteen were transferred to the food factory, and a soy products workshop was set up to specialize in the production of tofu, dried tofu and yuba. Make soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. Xun Suji originally planned to use tofu ferment to make fermented bean curd, but he soon encountered a problem - not enough soybeans. The soybeans here in Lingao were the same as the soybean production in all Chinese rural areas at that time. They were grown on a small scale and had little leftover except for a few tofu workshops in the county! ~!
