Chapter 497: A Few Miscellaneous Things After the Spring Festival
Jiang Yichen and Qingqing returned to the Lingjiang River, and it was already early February.
Ding Xiang Yuan reopened after the Spring Festival closure, but at this time it was in a rare period of relative leisure in the year, and the customers in the hall seemed very calm, and there was no bustle everywhere on weekdays.
In the area of Koufuduo, the management team headed by manager Zhang Fenglan has successfully completed the preliminary preparations for the food processing plant through hard work.
The production line equipment and technological process, after the technical backbone of the research and many times of debugging, finally succeeded in making the current Xiushui Lane two workshops equivalent to the quality of the mouth of the multi-mille-feuille cake, and the specifications and shape standards are stable, neat and uniform, the most important thing is that the production efficiency has been greatly improved, which is completely different from before.
The assembly line has already begun small-scale trial production, and Zhang Fenglan plans to use the food processing plant as the main force when the time is ripe to gradually replace the Xiushui Lane workshop.
At present, the daily production of Chifuduo mille-feuille cakes is 5,000 sheets, and preliminary estimates show that once the food factory is operating at full capacity, the production capacity can easily be increased to more than three times.
However, due to the limited raw materials, it is completely unable to meet the "appetite" of the processing plant, so it can only be temporarily controlled under the low-load production state and wait for the further development of the planting industry in Yunsha Island.
News came from Yunsha Island, and Lai Shun'er had begun preparations for the expansion of the planting of seasoning crops according to the instructions.
After the land monkeys landed on the island, they quickly adapted to life there and did not show any unaccustomed conditions. On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised by the excellent food conditions on the island, which greatly exceeded his expectations, and he enjoyed it all while his mind was much more relaxed than before.
The fly in the ointment is that life on the island is a bit deserted compared to the bustling conditions of the city. Especially for playful young people.
But fortunately, Yunsha Island is only a seven-nautical-mile voyage from the nearest land Longwan Village, and it only takes about 20 minutes to drive a speedboat, so islanders can take advantage of the rest day and delivery opportunities to go ashore to shop, buy something, get a haircut or something. This also avoids some psychological problems caused by long-term isolation from the real society.
Today's Longwan Village is driven by industries such as seafood docks, yacht docks, and seafood aquaculture. The economy is developed and prosperous. Restaurants, shops, bazaars, bars, Internet cafes, billiard halls, game halls, etc., are all available, and there are a large number of foreigners, even if it is very lively even at night, if the requirements are not high, it is also a good pastime.
However, places of right and wrong such as underground gambling businesses and health shops are strictly forbidden for all employees to set foot in by the owner of Ejima.
In addition, there is even a well-known driving school here to join in the fun. A branch was set up on the leased land in the west of the village, and the training ground was also built in style.
Lai Shun'er complied with the request of his subordinates and enrolled three people in the driving school, VIP time class. Although the tuition fee is quite expensive, it is said that the students in this class will be treated with special treatment, and it is quick and easy to get a driver's license.
The increase in manpower has made the work arrangement on the island more comfortable. In recent days, Lai Shun'er and Xizi have rowed a small sampan to the two uninhabited islands not far from the south of Yunsha Island. Both Cockscomb Island and Woniu Island, and carried a batch of tools and food with the ship.
Both islands are characterized by their small size. The terrain is rugged and rocky and inaccessible to larger boats, so they have to rely on the most primitive means of water transportation, such as small sampans.
After arriving, according to the results of the previous survey, follow the topography. Several sloping plots of various sizes were reclaimed in the leeward part of the island, which is estimated to be about two acres of land in total, and weeds, shrubs and stones were removed from the fields, and a low fence wall was built with wattles.
After doing these tasks, Lai Shun'er found a large place to accommodate on Cockscomb Island. In caves where you can shelter from the wind and rain, wrap your tools and other items in plastic cloth and store them for future use.
The new plot is planned to be planted with spice crops such as green onions and ginger, which can be implemented when the weather warms up. This time, in order to improve efficiency, we plan to adopt the method of intensive seedling cultivation on Yunsha Island and then transplanting.
Su Xiaojia's bee sting therapy started again after a month of hiatus.
Today's weather, the maximum temperature during the day is less than 10 degrees, and the lowest temperature at night is about minus 3 degrees. Originally, it was also worried that the two boxes of wild bees on the island would be disturbed by low temperatures, which would reduce the toxicity of bee stings and affect the efficacy.
But in reality, this concern was apparently unfounded, and it was observed that the little ones were stronger than one might expect. Despite the cold winter, it is still quite active, but at present, the flowers are withering, and there is no honey to pick, so they can only be locked in a beehive for a dance party every day, and at the same time survive on the remaining honey after being scavenged by humans.
As a result, the donor of the bee sting is no longer a problem and the treatment can continue.
At noon that day, Jiang Yichen, who was sitting in the 303 office of the Dingxiangyuan main store, put down the two documents in his hand, and was about to have lunch, but he heard a few knocks, and then a big man pushed the door in.
"Yo, where can you eat alone? It's too lonely, let's just come and live. Ma Detao rubbed his hands, stared at the dishes on the coffee table and grinned and made a request.
"Why don't you go to the staff cafeteria?" Jiang Yichen raised his eyes and looked at the other party and said.
"I eat there every day, for a different taste. Let us also enjoy the special treatment of the big boss. Well, it smells so good. Ma Detao couldn't help but say, sat on the sofa, and took a few deep breaths.
Jiang Yichen had no choice but to pick up the mobile phone on the desktop and call the kitchen to add a dish and add a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
After a while, the guy brought in the freshly fried dish and put it on the table, plus a fresh orange drink.
"It's cool to be a capitalist, no wonder the toiling masses all over the world insist on fighting." Ma Detao was amazed while eating and drinking.
"You can't stuff your bird's beak with all this food." Jiang Yichen glared at him, and then asked about the progress of finding a restaurant.
Ma Detao said that shortly after the Spring Festival, the market has not yet fully recovered, and the amount of relevant information is still very limited. However, it is estimated that in a few days, there should be more opportunities.
"Hey, by the way, have you seen the news this morning, our city has shown a big face in front of the people of the whole country again." After a while, Ma Detao began to chat.
"What? Chicken turf has reached a new high? Jiang Yichen asked casually.
"What kind of news is chicken land this year?" Ma Detao shook his head repeatedly.
Then he talked about the news that had just come out this morning.
As a coastal city, the tourism industry has always been developed. Even in winter, due to the influence of the oceanic climate, the temperature is not low, and there is a constant flow of tourists.
Especially in the scenic area, many shops are open for business during the Spring Festival in order to compete for business opportunities.
Just a few days ago, several tourists from other places came to a seafood stall for a meal, and they ordered a garlic shrimp with 38 yuan on the menu. Who knew that when the bill was checked, the price of 38 yuan suddenly changed to more than 1,500 yuan.
Under the customer's questioning, the shopkeeper stepped forward and explained confidently that 38 yuan was just the price of a shrimp, according to the old local rule.
The two sides clashed, and the tourists called the police in vain, and finally the tourists compromised and paid the high price of the meal because they were worried about their personal safety.
But the matter is obviously not over, and those tourists are not the masters who swallow their anger, fuel-efficient lamps. After leaving the food stalls, they not only found the Jingjiang Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Price Bureau to complain, but also posted the photos of the scene taken with their mobile phones on WeChat and Weibo, which soon attracted attention and were reprinted and disseminated by many media, becoming real-time hot news.
Inspired by this, some other tourists also posted their bloody and tearful complaints about their experiences of being slaughtered in the Lingjiang River, such as what skewers are counted according to the meat pieces on the sticks, buying fruit catties into two, and staying in a hotel room rate into a room rate for one person.
For a time, the river became the target of public criticism, and the limelight was incomparable, and criticism and scolding from all over the country were overwhelming.
At the same time, the signboard of "Civilized Tourism City", which has been built by Lingjiang City for many years, has also been seriously damaged.
"Damn, it's really brainless!" Jiang Yichen couldn't help but scold indignantly after hearing this.
Originally, the tourism industry is not new, it happens everywhere, and it has been a problem for many years. But it's rare to be robbed like this, so it's no wonder that it's thrown into the limelight. And you must know that now is not as good as before, the information network is unprecedentedly developed, and you can poke through any P thing, and you can't hide anything.
"That's pretty polite. The rice in the restaurant costs two yuan a bowl, if you follow this road and calculate the price by the grain, hehe, the eater must not be washed. Ma Detao felt that the imagination and innovation ability of those small bosses were not high enough, otherwise they could make the reputation of the city go to the next level.
Regarding this incident, it has been hyped up by public opinion at present, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to give up, but the most anxious is estimated to belong to the head of the relevant local management department, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that even itself will be affected.
"Forget it, we can't take care of other people's affairs. But we will never be allowed to do this in the restaurant in the future, you can remember it for me. Jiang Yichen admonished.
"Where can we do those scumbags? It's just that the Lingjiang Market doesn't let those guys finish the scourge, so scared that outsiders don't dare to come. Ma Detao shook his head and said disdainfully.
The seafood restaurant of the future belongs to the category of high-end catering, and the price of the dishes is certainly not cheap. But no matter how expensive things are, as long as the reason is explained, the price is clearly marked, and consumers are free to make choices, then no one can find any reason.
After the two of them finished lunch, they were chatting with each other. At this time, Ma Detao's mobile phone rang.
He picked up his phone and walked to the window to answer.
"Hey, it's me, who?"
"Oh, Boss Cui, hello, hello."
He then covered the microphone under the mobile phone with the palm of his hand, turned his face and whispered to Jiang Yichen:
"It's Lao Cui from Jinjiang Fishing Port."
Jiang Yichen listened to it and was quite curious, this Boss Cui has never been in touch since the last time he had a treat, I don't know what to find at this time? (To be continued......)
