173: The final assembly line

The place called Haizhuang has now become the most acute place where the wind and clouds meet. It may seem like a place that has nothing to do with war, no politics to do with it, but it is the center of all events.

The popularity of Haizhuang's newly launched dipping sauce has skyrocketed, and it is becoming popular in Lanyang and even the entire Lanwan jurisdiction.

In these cruel and dark last days, people are not so keen on the happiness that comes from eating and drinking. More often than not, eating and drinking is just a necessity to survive.

Such a large-scale passion for a certain food is very rare in such a time. Coupled with the background of the Lanyang War, it undoubtedly means that the names of Haizhuang and Master Yang will go down in history.

The dipping sauce was sought after beyond imagination, and Qingyu and He Fu already smelled the smell of conspiracy.

The taste of conspiracy is deep and dangerous, but the flavor of the dipping sauce itself is salty and fresh, and it can be seen that Haizhuang has really put a lot of thought into product development.

In addition to purchasing the fishermen's products, Haizhuang also has its own processing site. For this kind of sea by-products, Haizhuang fully has the strength of mass production.

In the Haizhuang factory on the outskirts of Lanyang, there are many large and small workshops. In order to save time and cost, the people who work here build huts on the same place to live. Over time, it became a village.

A village that exists specifically for the sake of "Haizhuang productivity".

There are countless large and small workshops in the village, but now almost seventy percent of the workshops are producing that kind of dipping sauce.

The dipping sauce is not much different from a regular hoisin sauce – the seafood is dried and mashed, ground and then added to the base of the sauce.

The two of them looked all the way around the village, and there was nothing wrong or suspicious about the production process.

There must be something they didn't find out!

The two of them cheered up, took out twelve points of concentration, and carefully looked at each workshop related to dipping sauces.

"What are you doing?!"

The two of them peeped around the village and were finally targeted by the security guards. Worried about startling the snake, Qingyu and He Fu didn't say anything, and immediately ran away in disgrace after being yelled.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the figure running by, another security guard asked.

The security guard just now was very disdainful and said: "It's nothing, there must be someone who is angry with our business who sent someone to peep." ”

"These days, it's really a big thing, and there are all kinds of boring things!"

The two security guards chatted and left, while Qingyu and He Fu temporarily hid in the dark. In fact, after a busy day, the two of them are not without gains.

These workers had changed shifts once before noon and again at dinner in the afternoon. If I'm not mistaken, they should be in shifts, 24 hours a day.

Nowadays, the dipping sauce is so popular, even if it is made all day long, it is still in short supply. If it weren't for 24-hour work, it would be weird.

It's just that the prepared dipping sauce is not the first time to be shipped to the warehouse.

The dipping sauces prepared by the workshops are placed at the door, and then horse-drawn carts come and carry them to the back of the village.

In order to facilitate shipments, the warehouse will definitely be located at the entrance of the village. It's unconscionable that the amount of these dips is so large that it can be moved in the opposite direction and back.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Light Feather Hefu walked one after the other, the pace was light and fast, and he walked in hidden places. The reason why they were discovered by the security guards just now was because they were careless, thinking that the security guards were just decorations.

Who would have thought that these security guards were actually quite responsible.

The two secretly followed the convoy to the back of the village, where there was a large factory building, which looked very new, and should not have been built for long.

All the dipping sauce is transported from the east gate into the factory and then out from the west gate. The east and west doors are constantly coming in and out of the carriages and horses, and the dipping sauce transported by the west gate is the same as the one sold on the market, and the packaging is complete.

In the end, these dipping sauces that came out of the west gate were transported back to the warehouse at the entrance of the village to be sold.

The factory at the very far end of the village is large and windowless. The blackened room is suspicious just by looking at it.

There must be a secret to dipping sauce in this!

Light Feather and He Fu had the same hunch, the cat went to the side of the factory, and used Light Feather's ability to poke two holes with his fingers, which was to look inside-

There are no compartments in the huge factory, only a long and winding assembly line. Of course, the operation of the assembly line does not rely on electricity, but on the huge waterwheel on the cliff near the sea behind the factory.

The tides of the ocean are the source of power for the assembly line, and the workers who are busy on the assembly line are the source of dipping production.

The delivered dipping sauce is unloaded at the east gate, and each vat of dipping sauce is just enough to fill the flaring square plates on the assembly line. 118

The dipping sauce is spread out in a square plate, and the whole plant is filled with the salty aroma of dipping sauce. The dipping sauce, which has not been prepared for a long time, is still steaming, they lie in a square tray and are quickly cooled, and when they pass in front of the workers on the assembly line, they are sprinkled with an orange-yellow powder, and then evenly stirred and fed into the dipping sauce.

The assembly line is equipped with a large amount of yellow powder, and the factory is also full of large burlap bags.

The workers on the assembly line are very busy, and their hands barely stop, constantly mixing powder and dipping sauce. And their deputy, every few minutes, would run to the burlap bags and take most of the powder in large frames.

At first glance, the powder was not produced by Haizhuang itself, but was shipped in large quantities from other places.

Qingyu and He Fu are sure in their hearts, this powder is most likely the key to dipping the secret!

The work in the factory is orderly, even with the scale of nearly 100 people, it is also orderly and without the slightest error.

There are supervisors on the side of the assembly line, and these supervisors are also very conscientious and dare not be lazy. It must be because of the people on the second floor of the factory.

There is a simple staircase next to the wall of the factory, and a simple room is built on it. The wooden room has large windows that allow you to see the entire factory working.

There was a man sitting leisurely on a chair in the room. Qingyu and He Fu are more familiar with that face, and they have seen it by Master Yang's side-

The man named Duanmu is a close confidant of Master Yang.

The two of them were still wondering why Haizhuang was so busy and didn't see Duanmu, but they didn't expect to be sent here to supervise the production of dipping sauce.

If it is an ordinary production, there is naturally no need to find someone to supervise it. This is a good indication that there must be something wrong with this dipping sauce.

All the processes are supervised here, so this is the most important step. And the difference here and outside is only that powder.

The geographical environment of the factory is very open, and Qingyu and He Fu can't rush in, so they keep the cat until night.

After the night shift change came, the middle shift workers left one after another. One of them wore an extra vest than the others. It seems that he should be the captain of the middle class, and the others don't forget to greet him when he gets off work:

"Brother Hei, see you tomorrow! Don't forget the good wine you promised me before! ”

"Don't worry, tomorrow will definitely make you have an unforgettable birthday!" Hegel laughed and strode in his own direction.

Hegel's daughter-in-law fell ill at the beginning of the year, and in order to see a doctor, the couple had been very short of money, and their children were also working in Haizhuang, but how could they have money, and it would be good not to go hungry.

Two months ago, Hegel unexpectedly got a good prescription, and his wife did get better after taking it, but she had to take this medicine for at least a year, and the economy was very difficult.

The brother usually had a good relationship with Hegel, and without saying a word, he used all his savings to buy medicine for his sister-in-law. Hegel was very grateful.

Now the situation in Lan Yang is tense, two days ago, a rich family in the city fled and left, passing by here, hurriedly dropped something, there was a bottle of whiskey in it.

Hegel, where did they have the opportunity to drink this thing, at most, they had seen it in Haizhuang, and they didn't dare to hope for it. I really didn't expect to pick up a big bargain.

Hegel thought that it would be difficult to repay the money, and it happened to meet the brother's birthday again, so it was a personal favor. Tomorrow's birthday party took out this bottle of wine and gave it to the buddies, both of whom had faces on their faces.

Hegel's heart was beautiful, and he didn't want a woman to suddenly appear in front of him, carrying a bag of light baht in her hand, and walking over with a smile on her face:

"This big brother, are you willing to do me a favor?"

Hegel was stunned. The woman was thin, not plump at all, her hair was a little messy, her clothes were a little dirty, and she was faintly sloppy, as if she had been out for days without having time to wash. Truth be told, it's hard to inspire evil in men.

And the bag of money in her hand was what Hegel cared about, and asked a little tentatively, "What can I help you?" ”

"It's not difficult, just answer a few questions, and it's all yours." The woman smiled and weighed the money bag in her hand twice. The sound of the light baht colliding was so full that Hegel's saliva was about to flow out, and he nodded impatiently:

"Good! You said! ”

The woman smiled with satisfaction: "The reason why the dipping sauce you make is so popular, is there some ulterior secret recipe added to it?" ”

"Well......" Hegel pondered. For the sake of money, he must not say the wrong thing, and now that the dipping sauce is so hot, it is normal for Haizhuang's opponents to be red-eyed, so it is not strange to inquire about these.

Although Mr. Duanmu strictly ordered that outsiders were not allowed to say more about dipping sauce, the temptation of light baht in front of him was too great.

After thinking about it carefully, Hegel said: "I don't know the secret recipe or anything, I'm just a worker, and I don't know the recipe for dipping sauces. But that powder should be the key to dipping. ”

"What powder?" The woman was surprised and pretended not to know.

Hegel looked around, pulled the woman to hide in the shadows, and whispered: "There is a factory at the back of the village, which is the largest workshop in the village, and it is for the dipping sauce cover this time." ”

"What is done in the factory is the last process of dipping, where the powder is mixed in proportion to the dipping sauce. But that powder is not produced by us, so it is not clear what it is. I heard that Master Yang spent a lot of money to get a good thing. ”

Speaking of this, the woman frowned slightly: "This dipping sauce is so delicious, do you all eat it yourself?" Have you ever tasted that powder secretly? What exactly does it taste like? ”
