Chapter 264: The Bakery
In the blink of an eye, Li Yanyi has been working in the new company for a week, and the family has adapted to the rhythm of work and life here.
Although it is not as good as the power company, at least the job is stable and the place to live is not bad, all in all she is very satisfied.
As usual, before seven o'clock in the morning, Li Yanyi and her three children got up, and there were only three people in the entire canteen who did chores like her.
There are a lot of things, and you can't be diligent and fast.
After getting up, Li Yanyi steamed three large potatoes in a rice cooker for the children for breakfast, and she drank two large bowls of water to cushion her stomach.
After breakfast, the first thing to do is to boil the water.
Dad Xu is still more economical, don't think about bottled water, you can't afford to spend this unjust money.
After work, it was the peak water consumption period, and the three of them burned more than 20 buckets of water, and this was only one morning's consumption.
More than twenty buckets of water were delivered to the various offices upstairs by wheelbarrow, and the morning's work was over.
Next, they had to go to the office to collect bento, and received more than 2,000 lunch boxes in total.
Before 11 a.m., the cafeteria has to heat up all the lunch boxes, and then when it's lunch time, most of the staff will come to pick up the food.
Fortunately, they don't need to wash the dishes after lunch, and the company doesn't have so much water to waste.
After lunch, the trio boiled the water again.
After delivering the water, the other two miscellaneous aunts clocked in and out of work directly, after all, the main work in the canteen was done.
As for Li Yanyi, she only needs to heat up meals for a small number of people in the evening and at night, and the rest of the time is also free.
But she didn't waste that time.
Inside the kitchen, the company recently set up a bakery and hired three master chefs, as long as she has free time, Li Yanyi will go over to help.
There are also benefits to getting started in a bakery.
One is that she can learn skills, after all, the salaries of bakers are two or three times higher than hers, and she also wants to make more money;
The second is what kind of experiment the bakery is doing recently, there are often leftover breads, and she can bring four or five sticks with her every time she comes back, and the children especially like to eat them.
It's just that today, there was some excitement in the bakery, and even Xu Dong and Mr. Ye came over in person.
……
In the afternoon, Xu's father was working in the office.
suddenly received a phone call that the bakery had developed a baguette, so he immediately called Ye Hui, and the two came to the kitchen together to check the results.
"Master Ji, this is the baguette you developed?" Ye Hui casually picked up a loaf of bread and asked.
These loaves are shaped like baguettes, no wonder they are called baguettes, and they are darker in color, with four cuts on the front, and are about the length of an adult's forearm, but thicker than the forearm.
Chef Ji is the chief technician of the bakery, and before that, he was the owner of a small bakery himself, with more than 30 years of experience in the industry, and he is well-known in the surrounding area.
"That's right, according to Xu Dong's requirements, we adjusted the raw material ratio of general bread, adding corn flour, mashed potatoes, sweet potato puree, wheat bran and tofu residue to it.
"How's it going?" Dad Xu asked.
Master Ji smiled bitterly: "The taste is indescribable, anyway, we have done our best, to be honest, there is not much room for improvement." ”
"Dong Xu, let's try it together?"
Ye Hui forcefully tore the baguette from the middle, and then handed half of it to Xu's father.
Dad Xu nodded, and then took the bread.
"Dong Xu, the bread is a little hard, you chew it slowly, Xiao Li, hurry up and pour a glass of water for Dong Xu." Master Ji hurriedly commanded.
The big boss is not young, and his teeth are definitely not very good, if he breaks his teeth, where can he find such a good job.
"Yes." Li Yanyi immediately poured a glass of water, and then handed it to Xu Dong.
"Thank you." Dad Xu said with a smile.
As she spoke, Ye Hui had already taken a bite of the bread, to be honest, the first feeling was that it was really not good, the bread was dry and tough, and there was no sweetness, this was the most unpalatable bread she had ever tasted.
Dad Xu also felt the same way, if he didn't drink water, he couldn't swallow a mouthful of bread.
"Master Ji, how much does this loaf of bread weigh?"
"No more, no less, just half a catty."
Master Ji continued, "We have done experiments, and a strong adult only needs two baguettes a day to ensure the daily needs of the whole day.
For the elderly and children, a baguette is enough, and the feeling of satiety is very strong, which is much more affordable than simply eating potatoes or sweet potatoes, and is more friendly to the stomach. ”
Ye Hui was thoughtful and asked instead:
"What about the cost, how many raw materials do you need for such a loaf of bread?"
"All the ingredients add up to almost 200 grams, including 50 grams of flour and the rest are all kinds of other ingredients." Master Ji replied.
"How much tofu dregs and wheat bran are there?" Dad Xu asked specifically.
"30 grams each of tofu residue and wheat bran, 15 grams of corn flour leftover, and a total of 75 grams of mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Dad Xu touched his chin, and then asked, "Then how are you going to exchange it?" ”
"Dong Xu, after deducting all the costs, we think that one pound of flour can be exchanged for four loaves of bread, corn flour is three, and potatoes and sweet potatoes can be in a one-to-one ratio, which is more suitable and the most convenient to exchange."
"How much profit can a canteen make?" Ye Hui asked directly.
"We roughly estimated that for every 100 loaves of bread sold, the canteen would have five loaves of bread left, and the profit margin would be about five percent.
Of course, according to Chairman Xu's requirement of zero profit, after deducting our wages and other raw materials, there is almost no real profit left.
Sometimes there will be a slight loss, but these losses are all cash expenditures, and as for food, it will not lose money in any case. ”
Dad Xu looked at Ye Hui and explained: "Mr. Ye, I run this bakery, and I don't plan to make money from the employees, and everyone's life is not easy." ”
"Dong Xu, I understand."
Ye Hui nodded, she is also a part-time worker herself, and no one wants to have a stingy boss on her head.
"Master Ji, if you go all out, how much bread can you make in a day now?" Dad Xu thought for a while and asked.
"If the raw materials are sufficient, 2,000 pieces a day will not be a problem."
Chef Ji looks confident, mainly because the baguette is simple to make, and there are not so many bells and whistles in the production process.
Dad Xu nodded: "Okay, before noon tomorrow, you prepare 200 loaves of bread, and see everyone's reaction first." ”
Speaking of which, the raw materials for making bread were all sent by Xu Dong himself, including a total of 300 catties of flour and 500 catties of miscellaneous grains, as well as 200 catties of tofu residue and wheat bran.
He knew that baguettes would be very popular, and at most they were investments in advance, after all, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
