Because there was really work to be done in the afternoon, and the work of pulling electricity was highly dangerous, the banquet ended in time after the three of them drank two bottles of liquor. However, seven taels of liquor per person was a bit unpleasant for Spring and the two long-tested students. Therefore, in the spring, it was proposed to wait until the evening electricity pulling work was all over before a big battle. The two students readily agreed, but the two of them proposed to eat the dinner at home, saying that they wanted to taste their master's handiwork, and they smiled in the spring. I am still very confident in Xu Dan's cooking skills, and the level of frying and cooking is not inferior to that of the hotel's chefs.

The work in the afternoon seems to be easier, without the hard work of climbing high and low to pull the cable in the morning, the rest is the wiring, pressing the switch, installing the electricity meter and debugging the equipment in the operation room of the steamed bun shop. These tasks seem to be easy, but they are meticulous work, not only to the wiring but also a little bit of calculation, if you accidentally reverse the phase sequence, it will also lead to the reversal of the electrical equipment.

During the National Day in the Toyama area, it is the peak season of autumn tigers, and the temperature will rise rapidly in the afternoon, and it is still the kind of unconcealed direct radiation and exposure, which feels like the sun hanging on the top of people's heads, and the scalp is hot and painful. Therefore, under normal circumstances, before half past two in the afternoon, the villagers will not go to the fields to work, but will take a nap at home or gather in the shade of the trees at the head of the village to cool off.

Although the work of pulling electricity is carried out in the house, because the house is a partial house, or the position of direct sunlight in the afternoon, and the height of the partial house is shorter than the main house, the area is much smaller than the main house, and the heat dissipation and ventilation functions are not good, and the small space will become extremely stuffy after being directly irradiated by the sun, and people will sweat profusely after staying in the house for a while.

The two students did not dare to be sloppy in such a hot environment, and the two of them were wearing electrician hats and electrician uniforms all the time, and the two of them were sweating after a while in the case of hot work. Spring looked distressed, so he persuaded them to rest for a while before doing it. But who would have thought that the two of them would say nothing and refuse to take a break, joking that it would be better to finish it early and drink a lot of wine with spring earlier. Faced with the stubbornness of the two people, Spring had no choice but to do a good job of logistics services for them, and after making them hot tea, he went to Lao Wangtou's store to buy cold drinks.

At half past four in the afternoon, Xu Dan took a bus from the county seat back to Hushan Middle School.

Xu Dan's trip to the county seat can be said to have gained a lot, in the county grain and oil wholesale market not only purchased a one-time purchase of fresh yeast, edible alkali and other items to be used to open a steamed bread shop, but also inspected the flour market and the retail and wholesale prices of steamed bread and scones in the county.

During this investigation, Xu Dan found that the market for steamed buns and scones in the county was mixed, and it can be said that there were too many cats in it. Taking the price of a bag of 50 catties of flour as an example, the price of the county grain flour mill is 30 yuan per bag, while the price of a 50 kg bag of flour in those individual flour mills is 26 yuan. Of course, there are problems of production costs and operating costs, and the operating load of state-owned companies is of course much larger than that of individual factories, and the selling prices of their products are of course a little higher; otherwise, what else can they rely on to support the company's old and young families? However, Xu Dan found during his visit and investigation that the most fundamental reason why there is such a big gap between the prices of flour sold by state-owned flour mills and individual flour mills is a quality problem. Although the flour sold by state-owned flour mills and individual flour mills is labeled "first-class flour" on the bag, the standard of this "first-class flour" is uneven.

When ordinary people buy flour, they often look at whether the flour is white or not, or how gluten the flour is. In this regard, the state-owned flour mill may not engage in any greasy, and generally carry out deep processing on the basis of rough processing, such as gluten removal, mixing with food additives, In order to reduce costs and compete with state-owned flour mills in the market, those individual flour mills often mix talcum powder in the process of flour processing, so that the flour produced looks no different from the flour produced by the state-owned flour mills in appearance, but the steamed buns steamed from the flour mixed with talcum powder look unusually white and bright, but there is no unique aroma of pasta. Secondly, the flour mixed with talcum powder or too much whitening agent will be soft and difficult to form when mixing the dough, and it will be bloated after eating, and a large amount of long-term use may also cause cancer.

Needless to say, opening a steamed bun shop will make more profit by using flour from individual flour mills, which has also become a difficult choice for many people engaged in the steamed bread and scone business. However, this question is not difficult for Xu Dan to choose, in Xu Dan's view, making money is important, but making money is not the most important thing in life, the most important thing in life is how to behave, the best thing in the world is still a person's character in the final analysis. Whether you are doing business or being a person, don't deceive people, because all you can deceive are people who trust you, and others can believe in you, which is your honor and responsibility. Life in the world should treat people who need your help with a kind heart, and treat those who have helped you with a grateful heart! "Those who are virtuous in the world will be virtuous", this is one of Xu Dan's experiences in business for many years.
