229. Preparations before opening

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened, and they all stopped what they were doing, and the neighbors who were helping around also asked in surprise: "Village chief, how can there be a police car to find Yue Yatou, Yue Yatou is such an honest person." ”

"Yes, Miss Yue has been helping out at home recently, and she hasn't done anything bad, how can the police come to find her?"

"Are you looking for the wrong person?"

Chen Wei was also startled, and hurriedly asked the village chief what was going on.

The village chief also said that he couldn't figure it out, because the road below was not easy to walk, so the police car couldn't drive in, so he asked them to come over and spread the word, saying that he wanted to ask Chen Yuezhi to go to the city to testify or something.

Chen Yuezhi only needs to think about it for a while, and he understands what is going on, and two days ago, he heard Shangguan Lei muttering, saying that the municipal court has filed a case and launched an investigation, and the trial has been held in the last few days.

She originally thought that it would definitely be delayed until after New Year's Day, but she didn't expect it to be today.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I guess it should be the incident at the Ping An Hotel, I'll go with them now, you wait for my good news."

Having said that, how could Li Qingxia and his wife not be worried, Chen Lizhi immediately stepped forward and said, "Little sister, I'll accompany you." ”

Chen Mingzhi shouted that he was going too, what if he was afraid that someone would bully his little sister?

"The family is in a hurry, you all left with me, what should I do at home, I'm fine, the people in this world who want me to suffer have not been born yet, but don't forget your sister's means. Work in peace, I'll go back as soon as I go. Chen Yuezhi refused to accompany them.

Chen Wei was not at ease, so he accompanied Chen Yuezhi to the village, and sure enough, the police car saw Chen Yuezhi and explained the reason very politely, because she was the one who rescued the little boy that day. So go and testify.

Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and watched Chen Yue get into the police car, and the car was gone, so he turned around and walked home, telling the news to his family, so that they should not worry.

Chen Yuezhi went to the city to see that there was not only her. Two police officers on the same day. The ambulance crews were there, and the little boy was also led by an old lady, just dumbfounded. It seems that there is a lack of angry puppets.

This is a battle without suspense, Shen Duan is worthy of being an expert in this area, not only found all the evidence, but also hired a good lawyer. On the other hand, the Ping An Hotel is a bit bleak.

I don't know who used the means. They actually ran all over the city, and none of the law firms were willing to take on his case, so they had to use the official lawyer.

And coincidentally, the lawyer's wife has a migraine. It was precisely because of eating Chen's shortbread that he was cured, and at first glance he saw the case he received. almost jumped up in anger, how could he seriously defend the Ping An Hotel?

In the end, the judge ordered Ping An Hotel to compensate Ruyi Hotel 5,000 yuan for lost work and reputation fees. Compensate Chen's Food Co., Ltd. for 10,000 yuan for mental damages, and sincerely apologize to both parties.

In addition, Ping An Hotel also sold cakes in the name of Chen's shortbread, which infringed on the trademark rights and interests of the other party, and was also fined 5,000 yuan.

Ping An Hotel was originally a small profit, and the business was miserable, but after this incident, it completely collapsed and closed its doors directly.

After this case, Chen's shortbread quickly became popular, and the business of Ruyi Hotel and Jinling Hotel not only did not weaken, but became more popular, and the daily shortbread supply almost exceeded demand.

Every day before dawn, there is a long queue outside, but often only one-tenth of the people can buy, some people in order to be able to buy, even a day in advance, with tents to queue, that scene, is really shocking.

The day before New Year's Day, Chen's Food Company posted new rules and regulations and began re-recruiting workers.

Chen Yuezhi adopted Shangguan Lei's idea and simply let go of some chores that did not need to be handled by himself, which could also save time and manpower.

The first person to come over to contract was Yao Xiaomei's mother, their family planted a lot of sesame seeds last year, and was worried about what to do, I heard that the Chen family wanted to buy a large number of sesame seeds, but it was to be cleanly fried and ground into powder, and there was no burnt smell, so I immediately happily agreed.

At the same time, the rest of the people in the village also saw the opportunity to make a fortune, because the Chen family's shortbread is no longer limited to chestnut filling, it is also used as other fillings.

Then they will grow more mung beans and red beans this year, and sell them to the Chen family when the time comes, which is also a good income.

Anyway, if the thing is not clean, or the quality is not up to par, they will not accept it.

In this recruitment, Chen Yuezhi slightly refined the process of shortbread, and stipulated that everyone performed their own duties, and they were not allowed to jump to work, nor were they allowed to talk to each other, and they were not allowed to disclose the process of making products to each other.

The first process is the filling processing room, which basically washes and cooks the red beans and mung beans to make red bean paste or mung bean paste.

The age range is between 20 and 40 years old, but it must be in good health and have no problems.

There are four people who can work with each other to light the fire, clean, and filter. In the end, those who met the requirements were Yao Xiaomei's cousin-in-law Li Qiuju, Jiang's niece Zhao Xia, Yao Liuguo's daughter-in-law Ma Xiaohong, and villager Zhao Dazhu's daughter-in-law Sun Ningning.

The second process is dough, which is to put water into the flour and mix it into a dough. Here, Chen Yuezhi plans to only use people from his own family to do it.

For the time being, my grandmother Fu Guihua and my two aunts Hu Meilan and Zhang Ying will be decided first.

The third process is to knead the dough, which requires good wrist strength, great strength, and knows how to knead the dough, and it is necessary to recruit male workers.

The big men in the countryside, except for those who are particularly lazy and lazy, basically no one knows how to knead dough, but there are relatively few men in the village who are idle, and some are not easy to recruit, because they work outside and earn at least 500 yuan a month.

Li Zhengzhi would be chatting with the second uncle in the village next to him, and when he heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "What's so annoying about this, let your two uncles go first, anyway, there is no work to do in winter, you can slowly recruit the right people." ”

Then it was decided like this for the time being, and Chen Yuezhi's original meaning was also to hope that the two uncles would come over to help. After all, your own family needs to know the roots.

It's just that the workshop has just opened, and the money is like dripping water, and the money doesn't come in, only the money is spent, and the two uncles are both skilled people, working outside, and have a salary of at least 600 yuan a month.

She was afraid of delaying them. Wait for their workshop to get on the right track. When the time comes, she will make money, and she will be official.

The fourth process is to make zuò shortbread, which requires a bit of technical content. It is necessary to recruit female workers, and they are a little older. For example, the size of this pinched dough, an experienced old lady doesn't need to look at it at all. How many years of feel, just pinch it. No matter how you handle it, the size of the cake that comes out of zuò is not much different.

After the shortbread is finished, it has to be put into the mold for printing, but fortunately, Chen Yuezhi let Dong Dahai busy making the mold in advance. Otherwise, I would have been blind now.

Now looking at the newly made mold, as long as you press the cake dough inside, a floating protrusion on the cake surface is written in the four Lishu fonts of Chen's shortbread. There are also trademark patterns of peony flowers and full moon icons next to it, which Chen Yuezhi feels pleasing to the eye.

The fourth process requires five female workers. Three men made bread, and two made impressions.

The neat and neat Jiang milk/milk is naturally among them, and there are also Granny Li, Granny Tian from Tianjiazhuang next door, Granny Liu, and Granny Wang.

The reason why Chen Yuezhi wanted to use these old people at the beginning was to get through this critical period first, and then slowly let them bring apprentices, so that they could cultivate younger newcomers.

The fifth and most important process is to send the shortbread into the oven for baking, which is of course also mastered by the Chen family themselves.

Fortunately, Li Qingxia and the others have tested many times in advance, and they have gradually mastered the fire and can operate it well.

Five processes, in addition to Li Qingxia and Chen Wei himself, including Li Zhengzhi's family, must sign an employment contract, Chen Lizhi carefully read to everyone, the importance of this cooperation, not only for the protection of the food workshop, but also for the protection of workers.

The contract not only indicates how much money they will get every month, but also every New Year's holiday, there will be a festival fee, and if they do a good job, there will be a bonus, and everyone is excited.

The people who were selected were excited, and in this way, the money that their women earned all year round was probably no less than that of the men in charge.

Those who were not selected were sour grapes in their hearts, and they said cool words vigorously: "Who can't brag about it, it's just to draw a big cake for everyone to satisfy their hunger." It's funny that a small workshop still thinks it is a big company, and it comes out with a lot of rules and regulations. ”

Of course, the most important thing is that they enjoy the benefits of the contract, but they also have to abide by the secrets that they should abide by.

When Chen Lizhi thought that if someone leaked trade secrets or did something unfavorable to the company, he would not only be fined, but might even go to jail and bear criminal responsibility, and he would also have to compensate Chen's Food Co., Ltd. for 100,000 yuan in liquidated damages.

In this year, 10,000 yuan is rare, and a liquidated damages of 100,000 yuan was actually obtained.

Immediately, an aunt hesitated, afraid that these contracts were scammers: "Then, what is it called leaking trade secrets?" ”

"Yes, yes, we want to know." This sentence is asked to their hearts, and they all want to know, for fear that they will make mistakes.

Chen Yuezhi stood up, calmed everyone's feelings, and said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, everyone has to keep it secret, for example, after you work in the filling processing workshop, you must know how it is processed, at this time, someone comes to ask, this person, including all people, even your husband, your daughter, your father, he comes to ask you, how this filling is made, you can't say." ”

"Ah, you can't even say your own daughter, this, this is too strict, right?" Some people protested.

"It's too trivial, what can I do about this, isn't it just boiling it to make powder, what's the secret, and I have to keep it secret from my man." A few people who were not selected immediately stirred up trouble inside, looking indignant.

These words immediately made the faces of the workers who had already decided to join the workshop show a look of hesitation.

It's mainly Chen Lizhi's 100,000 yuan in liquidated damages, and imprisonment or something, it's too scary, they just want to go to work in peace, how can there be so many doorways?

"Listen to me, that's just an example. Maybe your daughters or relatives and friends are safe, but they also have their own circle of friends, can you guarantee that if you sue him today, he won't sue others tomorrow, so that if it reaches the ears of our competitors, then they will make more delicious shortbread than us, which will affect our company's output, if our workshop can't go on, do you think it's just our family that is unlucky? ”

Everyone immediately quieted down again, and some smart people also remembered, yes, they can make money here today, it is because the Chen family's workshop has money to make, but if the competitors know the secret of this shortbread, once there are more such things in the market, they will definitely not be able to sell at a high price, and the Chen family will definitely have to quit some people, and they are the most unlucky.

"Yuezhi, you're right, I don't say it, anyway, after getting off work, I just slept for a while, I don't remember anything, no one tells me, what is there to say?" Li Qiuju and Ma Xiaohong said loudly.

Chen Yuezhi threw a slightly grateful glance at them, at this time it was normal for them to be suspicious, in fact, the secret of his shortbread was not in the process of making zuò, but she had to cultivate the workers' sense of secrecy.

With Ma Xiaohong taking the lead, the others also nodded in agreement after whispering.

Chen Yuezhi went on to explain what it means to infringe on the company's interests. For example, misappropriating things from the workshop for their own personal use, or actively participating in spreading rumors that are not good for the company.

Of course, these are all light, at most they are only fines and warnings, and the strict thing is that if someone gives you money and asks you to poison the shortbread, will you violate the principles and conscience of being a man for the sake of money?

"This bread is something that men eat, and whoever spoils the grain and poisons it will be angry even with God." Jiang Milk / Milk hurriedly said.

That's it, everyone agrees.

The terms and conditions of the contract were explained, and everyone understood them, and they signed and pressed their fingerprints.

When the others dispersed, Chen Yuezhi took everyone to visit the process flow in the workshop, and it turned out that a window was released in the middle of each room, so that the filling could be passed over, and no one had to run out of the house to go around in circles.

After everyone is familiar with their workplace, they will start to divide the labor, go their own way, open tomorrow, and then invite wine, it is estimated that there is no time to make shortbread.

So tonight we will drive out the amount of tomorrow and the next two days.

Everyone is on the first day of work, and they are very serious and diligent, for fear of being dismissed by the owner who is lazy, and it will be shameless, so the cooperation is very good. The four brothers and sisters of the Chen family also inspected back and forth, and found that there was something inappropriate, so they corrected it a little.

Three stoves before dinner and two stoves after dinner. Four of the furnaces are for two restaurants, and one is dedicated to advertising when it opens tomorrow.

If Chen Yuezhi is not wrong, tomorrow's opening ceremony will definitely be very enthusiastic. (To be continued)
