In a private house in Jiepai Village.

Now that the chocolate research is complete, Guo Yongkun has announced a second plan – mass production.

This is a time-consuming and laborious task, after all, there is a shortage of manpower and limited space.

And the most constraining...... Guys are out of order.

There are only 10 molds, so you can only produce 10 chocolates at a time, and you have to wait for them to cool and solidify naturally.

There was no refrigerator in the house for use.

Therefore, the production progress is very slow, Guo Yongkun has estimated that the average daily production is about 200 yuan.

When converted to weight, it is 10,000 and 400 grams, a total of 20.8 catties.

Their raw materials are 287 catties, including milk and sugar...... The production time alone will take about half a month.

Of course, he won't wait until all the production is done to sell, anyway, the guy doesn't have much to do, and he doesn't need six people to work, so he plans to make a batch first, and then leave four people to produce at home, and the other two to go out to run the business.

As for whether it is wholesale or retail, it has not been decided for the time being, and if the wholesale price is appropriate, it is not impossible to consider, and it will depend on the specific situation at that time.

As a result, this chocolate workshop hidden in the urban village secretly operated.

......

Hedong City.

Yan Jiantao of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee was a little uncomfortable today.

Since the morning, his men have already sent him letters three times.

If it's three, it's okay, every time it's carried in a cardboard box, there are hundreds of letters in one box......

Where does this make him look at it?

"Secretary Wang, what's going on?!"

He called the secretary outside the door in one voice, completely unclear.

He has been in office for more than two years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

The last time there was a team building in the city, everyone talked about this topic, and Lao Zhou, who was industrial, complained non-stop, saying that he had to receive at least one or two hundred anonymous letters a week, and he was scolded bloody!

The most annoying thing is that I don't know who scolded him, he was still very unkind at that time, and he never thought that if he laughed for a while, he would be reduced to this day.

He doesn't even need to read these letters, all of them have no sender and address, what good words can he have?

But he took a look, the affairs of the ministry have been normal recently, and there is no moth, why did it cause public resentment?

Secretary Wang is a thin girl, quite temperamental, seeing that the leader was angry, he said weakly: "Minister, it was Xia Kelin Magazine that caused the ......."

"You wait!"

Yan Jiantao couldn't help but hold his cheeks and ponder, because he had to think about it, is there such a magazine in the city?

It's not surprising that he was originally a person in the urban construction system, but because of his excellent performance, he was transferred here to become a minister, and he didn't know what was going on in the propaganda system before that.

"Oh~"

He remembered, didn't his old man be fascinated by this chivalrous forest for a while, but then he seemed to hear that the publication was discontinued, and he came back to life?

Zhou Bingwen wanted to know what Yan Jiantao was thinking at the moment, and he would probably vomit blood in anger.

He had been thinking that the ministry could give them some support, but the big brother who took the lead didn't even know about their existence.

Are you angry?

Of course, it is also to blame Hedong, as the provincial capital, that there are too many newspapers, publishing houses, and magazines.

You continue. ”

It is because they serialized a chivalrous novel called "Zhu Xian" in the latest semi-monthly magazine, which aroused a strong response and enthusiastic pursuit from the public.

"Many citizens wrote letters to their magazines, suggesting that they increase the number of articles and increase the number of articles of Zhu Xian, but they did not accept it, so the citizens complained to us. ”

Yan Jiantao couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, fortunately it was not a big deal, let alone his responsibility.

"What kind of book, so hot, have you read it?"

Secretary Wang didn't dare to hide it, and nodded: "I've seen it." ”

"Write something, is it good-looking?"

"Write ......"

This made Secretary Wang really brew for a while, and there was a feeling of falling into the pit, she couldn't say that she liked the happiness and hatred in it, it would cause a very bad impression on the leader, since she had seen it, then she had to look at things with connotation and values.

That's right, that's it.

It is written about an ordinary rural boy who has become stronger step by step in the cruel and sinister rivers and lakes through his strong will...... Because it has been serialized for 20,000 words, I don't know what is behind. ”

"Oh. Yan Jiantao nodded and said, "So it's still an inspirational novel?"

"It should ...... Yes. ”

"Then why didn't Xia Kelin hurry up and publish a new issue to satisfy the people's desire to struggle?"

"Probably...... I didn't have a draft. To be honest, 20,000 words per issue is a lot, and it takes time for other writers to write books. ”

"That's right. ”

Yan Jiantao crooked his head and thought about it, and said, "Let's let this matter go first, the people's demands can be solved, and we will solve it naturally, but if there is no manuscript and you still ask for an additional draft, isn't that vexatious?"

Secretary Wang is also a girl, although she feels that "Zhu Xian" is okay, but not to the point of obsession, she nodded with a smile.

"Minister, if it's okay, I'll go out first. ”

"By the way, you have the book, can you lend it to me?"

Secretary Wang thought to himself, can I say no?

......

Yan Jiantao naturally didn't borrow books for himself, he didn't have this hobby at all, mainly because his old man liked it.

It just so happens that the old man has been in a panic lately, and if it's really a good story, it should be able to relieve his boredom.

When I got home in the evening, I saw that the old man had lost his appetite at the dinner table, got up with a smile, took out a book from his briefcase, and handed it over.

"Dad, take a look, a magazine that has been very popular recently, and it is said that there is an article in it...... What is the pig, it's pretty good-looking, it should fit your mouth. ”

"Zhu Xian!" the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and Ma Li took the book.

"Hey~ You don't have to go out of this door, how do you know?" Yan Jiantao said curiously.

His father was almost 90 years old and not fit to go out.

"Jianhui came at noon, didn't he read that I like novels, so he chatted with me, saying that there was a book that has been very popular in the city recently, and he originally passed by the newsstand and wanted to buy a copy for me, but he didn't buy it, and said that he would look for me when he went back. ”

Yan Jiantao sighed, Jianhui was his little cousin.

"Bring me my glasses. ”

"Dad, let's eat first. Yan Jiantao and his daughter-in-law said.

"Eat and eat and know how to eat, if you don't exercise every day, how can you eat so much?!"

The old man's temper was not very good, and his daughter-in-law was startled and hurried back to the room to get her glasses.

After opening the book, the old man didn't look at anything else, because he couldn't be more familiar with Xia Kelin, and now there is basically no good goods, so he will find the "Zhu Xian".

This look, just enter, completely can't stop the meaning.

After the daughter-in-law finished collecting the dishes and chopsticks, he was still tasting them with relish at the dinner table, and suddenly ......

"Huh?

Yan Jiantao, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, said with a smile: "Dad, this is serialized, there must be a limit, you have to like it, I will buy it for you next time." ”

"They're still semi-monthly, right?" asked the old man, looking unfazed.

"It seems like yes. ”

"That's over, I can't sleep for half a month. ”

“......”

Yan Jiantao frowned instantly, this is not a trivial problem, at the age of the old man, he can't sleep well for half a month......

"Dad, is it so good-looking?"

"You don't like to read, you don't understand. Your dad and I have read books all my life, but I have never read the same kind of book, this author is really a ghost, and his imagination is rich...... Forget it, I told you you don't understand either. ”

Yan Jiantao is depressed, he is the boss of the Municipal Propaganda Department, can't he save some face?

"Tao'er, haven't you noticed any changes after I finished reading this book?" the old man asked suddenly.

Yan Jiantao thought about what kind of change, and after taking a closer look, he said uncertainly: "The spirit is better?"

"It's not just better, I feel like my blood is boiling, and my whole body has endless energy, I don't believe ......it, I don't believe it."

The old man said, stood up slowly, and actually turned around in the living room.

"Oops, I'll ......"

Yan Jiantao was stunned, thinking to himself what kind of divine book this is, he also has to take a look at Ming'er, can he still cure all diseases, you must know that the old man of his family usually even struggles to walk.

"It's a pity, I have a thought in my heart, and I have been hanging it, and it is a pimple......"

"Dad, Dad, don't worry. ”

Yan Jiantao hurriedly got up and helped him to sit down, and then said, "To tell you the truth, I received a lot of anonymous letters today, all of which suggested that Xia Kelin supplement should be added, I haven't dealt with it yet, and I will go back to the ministry tomorrow to take a look." ”

"Really?" the old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Bring pen and paper." ”

"What?"

"I'll write one too. ”

“......”

That night, Yan Jiantao brushed the first 20,000 words of "Zhu Xian".

To be honest, it's boring, and it's the same as elementary school students' essays.

But it can't be relied on by the old man and the broad masses of the people to like it, and it's okay.

The next day, when he returned to the ministry, he made a phone call to Xia Kelin Magazine.

"Hey, who's that?"

Naturally, it was Zhou Bingwen who answered the phone.

"I, Yan Jiantao. ”

Zhou Bingwen also froze for a moment, thinking to himself who Yan Jiantao was, but it was ......

"Oh, it's Minister Yan, hello, hello. ”

"I'm not good. ”

“......”

"You're Zhou Bingwen, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's me, does Minister Yan have any instructions?"

"Come to the ministry right away. ”

Zhou Bingwen chuckled in his heart, feeling that there was nothing good, but he didn't dare to refuse.

Half an hour later.

The two bumped into each other.

Yan Jiantao didn't mean to talk to him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the mailbox stacked in the corner, and asked, "That Zhu Xian, do you still have a manuscript in your hand?"

Finished...... In fact, when he caught a glimpse of these letters when he entered the door, Zhou Bingwen knew that something was wrong.

"Yes. ”

Although he was helpless, how dare he deceive, unless he didn't want to mix.

"Very well, I ask you to publish a new issue immediately, and stop doing any more semi-monthly magazines, in view of your situation...... Just get a weekly, and since there is a manuscript, the amount of manuscripts of that Zhuxian must be higher, and the people must not be disappointed. Do you understand?"

Zhou Bingwen almost didn't cry urgently, and said: "But minister, we need a lot of materials for a journal, and it is not enough to collect it in a week, let alone ...... stereotyped printing."

Yan Jiantao waved his hand and interrupted him: "Then don't get so much material, and no one is rare to watch, wouldn't it be more in line with the people's minds to serialize that Zhu Xian?"

"But Zhu Xian, we don't have many manuscripts in our hands, there are only 80,000 words left. ”

"Eighty thousand words, it's okay!" Yan Jiantao's eyes widened.

He didn't expect the other party to have so many manuscripts, and he instantly had the urge to ask for them, what are you doing?

Of course, I went home and showed it to the old man.

"In this way, you will immediately improve it, and send out the weekly within this week, as for the Zhu Immortal...... Each issue cannot be less than 30,000 words, after all, there are so many manuscripts, and I have read the book, the text is very plain, it is not difficult to write, I believe that the author will not be a problem to write 30,000 or 50,000 words a week, and it can be continued completely. ”

"......"

"That's all!"

Zhou Bingwen wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all.
