After Zhou Niannian went back, he listed the production process and required ingredients and hygiene requirements for bacon, ham sausage and jerky in detail, and then sorted out a list of ingredients, and it was already time for lunch.

She walked around the village and finally found Qi Jiayan in the big cafeteria.

Since the person in charge of raw material procurement and inspection was determined, she has been soaking in the village and the big canteen almost every day, learning how to choose meat, what kind of meat is good meat, how to clean and inspect it every day with experienced aunts and aunts, and Meng Laosan in the big canteen.

"Nian Nian is here, just wait for me to write down these two sentences. ”

Qi Jiayan saw Zhou Niannian coming in, shook the pen in her hand, and quickly wrote down the last two sentences before raising her head and asking, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"Well, come with me to the county in the afternoon, buy some of the ingredients we need first, and start making samples tomorrow. Zhou Niannian pulled her out of the back kitchen of the big cafeteria, "You've been studying here for several days, how are you?

Qi Jiayan was a little embarrassed: "Nian Nian, I'm worried that I can't do it well." ”

"You're so smart, you have to believe in yourself, it's all right. Zhou Niannian patted Qi Jiayan on the shoulder, "Besides, no one is born to do things, they are all accumulated by learning little by little." ”

Qi Jiayan was encouraged and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will try my best to do a good job." ”

After eating, the two of them rode to the town, then to the county, and after leaving the station, they went straight to the wholesale market not far away.

There are all kinds of materials they need to sell here, and when Zhou Niannian and Meng Sanqiu came to the county together, they had already found out clearly.

The first batch of production samples did not need to buy a large number of ingredients, Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan bought some of everything, the most important thing is to inquire about the way first, see which one has better quality, and then find these people to deliver the goods.

At this time, because self-employed people were not allowed to operate, the wholesale market was also under the control of the government, and the government had to approve it to buy these things.

There are six shops selling spices in the wholesale market, and Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan went around and bought some in each store.

"Niannian, why didn't you just talk to them about the price first, won't we all need to use these things in large quantities in the future?" Qi Jiayan asked suspiciously, coming out of the last spice shop.

"Let's talk about the price now, do you think we have any advantages?" Zhou Niannian thought for a while, and did not directly answer Qi Jiayan's topic, but asked rhetorically.

Qi Jiayan frowned and thought about it seriously: "Are you saying that these stores may not give us very good prices?"

Zhou Niannian nodded, and then asked, "Then why do you think they won't give us a preferential price?"

Since Qi Jiayan was selected as the person in charge of raw material procurement, she must understand some professional knowledge in procurement, especially the selection and cooperation of suppliers.

Zhou Niannian wanted to take the opportunity to let Qi Jiayan feel it, and the conclusions she came to by observing and thinking about it were much more useful than others telling her directly.

Qi Jiayan carried the seasoning bag in her hand, thought as she walked, and when she walked to the door of the bus station, she said: "Niannian, is it because our factory has not been officially established, are you afraid that those stores do not know our factory, even if we have government approval, they are afraid that they will not be able to cooperate for a long time, so they can't give very low discounts." ”

Zhou Niannian gave her a thumbs up: "Clever! This is the first reason, do you think, if you are the salesperson, in the face of someone who suddenly came out of nowhere and said that you want to talk about cooperation with them, and you want a high discount, under the premise of not knowing whether our factory will make money, do you choose not to give a discount, give a little discount, or give a big discount?"

To put it bluntly, when their factory was not a little famous, no salesperson dared to rashly give them such a high discount.

"When our factory is established and the ribbon is cut, as the first village-run enterprise in Zezhou County, the county will definitely publicize it, and then we will talk about cooperation again, saving worry and effort." Zhou Niannian said with a smile.

Qi Jiayan looked at her with admiration: "Niannian, you are two years younger than me, how can you understand so many things." ”

In fact, her mental age is already in her forties, Zhou Niannian was silent, "It seems that you can read a book." ”

"You know so many things, you will definitely be able to make money in the shortest possible time, and the note you set up will definitely win. Qi Jiayan hugged the seasoning bag and said confidently.

Zhou Niannian smiled, if she was not sure at all, she naturally would not dare to set up such a note.

However, it will not be so easy to make money smoothly, but she is not afraid of these challenges, if she successfully passes this level, she will be able to completely gain a foothold in the Meng Jiang Brigade in the future.

Early the next morning after returning from the county, Zhou Niannian called all the people who had followed her into the mountains to hunt, and a group of people entered the mountains in a mighty way.

This time, because she wanted to prepare more meat, she specially brought Ah Liang.

With Ah Liang here, she can know the location of many prey at the first time, and she doesn't have to waste time looking for them at all.

In the afternoon, they hunted a dozen pheasants, rabbits, and most surprisingly, they also hunted a fat and strong wild boar.

"Alas, if we go into the mountains to hunt by ourselves, we may not be able to catch anything in a day, and Comrade Xiao Zhou goes into the mountains to hunt, and we can always return with a full load. Meng Lidong looked at the pheasant in his hand, his face full of emotion.

He often followed him into the mountains to hunt these days, and sometimes Zhou Niannian didn't have time, so he went to the mountains to see the traps he had dug.

"In the future, Comrade Xiao Zhou will be the deputy director of the meat processing factory, and he will definitely not be able to take us into the mountains to hunt again. Meng Lidong sighed with some pity.

The people who followed the hunting in the mountains were a little lost for a while.

Although they followed Zhou Niannian into the mountains to hunt not much, they all knew that Zhou Niannian did not hide her secrets, on the contrary, she taught them how to set traps, and even told them where there were small animals, so that they could gain something every time they entered the mountains.

After two or three times, they completely changed their view of Zhou Niannian.

Zhou Niannian observed a circle of depressed people around him, all of whom failed to enter the factory, including Meng Lidong, there can only be one person in the family at most, and Meng Lidong's brother entered the factory.

Zhou Niannian understood that they were mainly lost because they couldn't hunt prey in the future, and their families would lose some income.

"These traps are still there, and you can come and see them often in the future, and if you are lucky enough to catch your prey, you can sell them to the factory. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhou Niannian thought for a while, and then said: "In fact, you can also help the production team raise pigs, chickens, ducks, etc., and then sell them to the factory, which is the same way to make money." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they looked at Zhou Niannian excitedly.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, is this true?"

"Does the production team really raise chickens and pigs?"
