The reason why Xu An said this to the village chief of Hua'an Estate was not to embarrass him, but to tell him that if he wanted to sell these processed foods, Xu's Catering needed to build a factory, purchase equipment, apply for qualifications, and so on.

This is a tedious and long process, the factory can be built slowly, the equipment can be purchased slowly, and the qualifications can be entrusted to the poverty alleviation office to help speed up the processing, but the grapes in the orchard are not waiting for anyone

It was obviously a great idea to find a suitable way to store the grapes and sell them as food, and this was also my initial idea, but I didn't expect that I would already produce them before I started to make a plan.

Moreover, with the introduction of the village chief of Hua'an Village, as the same food entered his mouth, the fog in Xu An's mind was dissipating, and the things hidden behind the fog slowly became clear.

Behind the fog is still a factory, but this factory is not a factory built on the basis of an abandoned paper mill, but a factory built from scratch!

Along with the factory, there was an orchard and a village, and the villagers got up early to change into their working clothes and went to the orchard with a basket on their backs, cut a bunch of grapes with scissors, carefully wrapped them in Sydney paper, and then gently put them into the basket

Trucks arrived, and the grapes were loaded onto trucks and transported to the brand new factory for picking. Cleaning and transportation to different workshops through different machines, all kinds of processing methods, into a variety of products, is delivered to the hands of consumers

The subconscious told Xu An that it was a great decision to process grapes into various food products for sale!

But reason is reminding Xu An that it is already October, and winter is coming, and those poor grapes that are still hanging on the vines can't even survive this winter and wait until the factory is completed

How can grapes, such a fragile fruit, be preserved to survive the winter until the factory is completed?

If you let it hang on the vine or fall to the ground, slowly dry up and turn into dust, it will be too tyrannical!

"How did you keep the grapes that couldn't be sold in previous years?"

Xu An did not continue to attack the village chief of Hua'an Estate, who had lost the light in his eyes, and went straight to the point - how to properly handle these delicious grapes.

"How do I save it?" The village chief of Hua'an Village, who was still immersed in Xu An's words just now, was stunned for a while before he reacted, and said, "What does it mean to preserve?" ”

？？？

"I heard Secretary Li say that the grapes in the orchard were produced last year," Xu An explained in detail: "But only a small part was sold last year, so how did you preserve the remaining grapes?" ”

"Oooh!" The village chief of Hua'an Village finally understood what Xu An was asking, but after understanding, the expression on his face was still very confused, and he said with a puzzled face: "Since you can't sell it, what are you doing with it. Whoever wants to eat it can pick some up and put it at home."

"That" had no choice but to follow his words and continue to ask: "Then do the villagers pick them and eat them, or do they save them and eat them slowly?" ”

"You can eat as much as you want"

"You can put it in the cellar," Li Sixin interrupted the village chief of Hua'an Estate, and explained to Xu An: "We will put a few bamboos above the cellar and hang these grapes on the bamboo to preserve, and they will be stored for about two months without rotting, spoiling or mold."

Listening to Li Sixin's words, Xu An breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Li Sixin existed, otherwise Xu An felt that he could lose half his life just by communicating.

After scolding a sentence, Xu An's attention returned to what Li Sixin had just said.

Can grapes be preserved in cellars?

And it can be stored for two months without deterioration, and my knowledge of the cellar is still too shallow!

"Village Chief He, I can't give you any guarantees, but you can organize the villagers to pick the ripe grapes and put them in the cellar for preservation, perhaps. What I said was that maybe after the factory was built, I would purchase a small batch of grapes and try it."

Xu An added: "But I'm not sure if the food made from these grapes will be welcomed by consumers, and if the market response is not big, then the rest of the grapes will be in vain." ”

As soon as Xu An's words came out, the extinguished light in the eyes of the village chief of Hua'an Village instantly ignited again, and he waved his hand excitedly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, the grain in the field has been harvested, and it's idle to be idle, and it's good to pick grapes." As the city says, exercising is not. Hahaha."

After receiving a less accurate but more positive reply, the head of Wah On Estate placed all the grapes in the bamboo basket on the table, then said goodbye to the crowd and left.

"You said so many things just now, I thought you were going to refuse Village Chief He!" Xu Heping sat at the table with Xu An, chatting while eating.

"How could it be" Xu An stretched out his finger and pointed to the food made of grapes, and said with a smile: "Didn't you taste it too, the taste is no worse than the products of those dim sum shops and bakeries outside, right?" ”

"It's delicious!" Xu Heping nodded, and then tapped lightly on the two bottles of grape juice that looked the same with the tail of his chopsticks, and said in confusion: "When I drank it just now, I felt strange, why are the tastes of these two grape juices so different, one cup is refreshing and delicious, and the other cup is mellow and fragrant."

Well.

Professional things still have to be done by professional people, and after the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, Xu An took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Tong's phone number.

Liu Tong used to work in Haiquan Beverage Company, although he is a salesman, but when he introduces the company's products to customers, he must introduce all aspects in detail, right? The company will have the corresponding training, right? Will you take it to the factory to see how your products are made?

No matter how bad it is, even if Liu Tong doesn't understand, he still has colleagues who are still working in the company!

Toot – Toot Toot ————

The moment the phone was connected, Xu An said directly without waiting for Liu Tong to say hello: "Liu Tong, do you have time now, I want to ask you some small questions that are not very important."

"It's not busy, we just got back to the car and are about to leave for another town, boss, just say anything you want."

"That's right," Xu An asked after describing his feelings about tasting the two grape juices in detail, "Do you know what the reason is and why their tastes are so different?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Tong decisively gave a conclusion: "It may be the reason why the production method is different." ”

"Hmm, how to make it? Can you elaborate on that? ”

"There are many different ways to juice fruit, raw, fresh, raw, cold, virgin and hot. Although I didn't taste it myself, judging from your description and contact with the raw materials, the two glasses of juice should be one raw and one hot."

Without waiting for Xu An to ask, Liu Tong went on to explain the difference between the two production methods.

The original pressing is the use of mechanical pressing, directly crushing the fruit to achieve the purpose of juice, like the roadside to see the so-called freshly squeezed fruit stalls, basically this way of hot pressing is after high temperature baking and heating and then take the juice, the juice yield will be higher, usually used for peanut oil and other oil extraction, and some wine will also have a hot pressing process."

"Since the latter treatment method has a higher juice yield, why are the common juices on the market raw, freshly squeezed or cold-pressed, etc., and it seems that there are not many hot presses?"

"Because high temperatures will destroy trace elements such as anthocyanins in fruits, resulting in a significant drop in nutritional value."

Hearing this, Xu An understood, although the hot-pressed juice still tastes the same, it may taste better, but the nutrients in it are destroyed, and it can only be addicted, and the nutritional value of those drinks made with pigments and powders is about the same, and the cost is higher than others

"Tsk, Boss Xu, now you are becoming more and more like a big boss! When I was on the phone just now, the momentum was incredible! The moment he hung up the phone, Xu Heping's ridicule followed.

"Each other, Mr. Xu, your posture is getting more and more sufficient! It's so majestic when you're assigning work! ”

After saying that, the two couldn't help but laugh.

Jingle Bell – Jingle Bell ————

The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted the laughter of the two, and Xu An's eyes fell on the caller ID, it was Lu Shengnan's call.

Just after finishing the call with Liu Tong, Xu An wanted to call Lu Shengnan and ask her to make a plan for the development prospects of the food processing plant and the construction budget.

But seeing that the time had passed twelve o'clock, and it was time for the noon break, Xu An thought about finishing her meal and waiting until two o'clock to contact Lu Shengnan after going to work, but she didn't expect that now she would send it to the door by herself.

"Is there anything important to look for me?" Xu An asked after pressing the answer button.

"Yes, boss" Lu Shengnan nodded and said: "I just received a call from the staff of Haishi TV station, they want to do an exclusive interview for our company, they can decide the interview time according to our time, boss, do you want to take this interview invitation?" ”

"An interview invitation from Haishi TV? How could it be so sudden? As he spoke, Xu An seemed to think of something, with a hint of a smile in his tone, and said, "Could it be because our company has appeared on the news broadcast of a TV station outside the province?" ”

"Haha." Lu Shengnan rarely smiled when communicating work:

"That's true, I asked the TV station staff I knew, our company only appeared on the TV station in Qingyan Province last night, and the person in charge of Haishi TV station immediately came back to convene a meeting to discuss the shooting plan~"

"Then this is really a surprise!" Xu An sighed and asked, "Did the TV station say how long this interview will be broadcast?" ”

"The exact duration of the broadcast is uncertain, and it is estimated that it depends on whether there is enough material collected. However, the time slot for the broadcast has been determined, and if it lasts for five minutes, it will be inserted in the middle of the news broadcast. Longer than five minutes will compress the news broadcast time, and it will be played again at the end. ”

"Then promise to come down" Xu An glanced at the calendar displayed on Xu Heping's mobile phone, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "It's scheduled for next Monday, and I'll go back the day after tomorrow on Sunday." ”

"Okay, I'll reply to Haishi TV at four o'clock in the afternoon"

"By the way, I have a temporary but not urgent task for you" Xu An arranged the work a second before Lu Shengnan said goodbye: "Now this is the situation, you make a plan to come out and see, increase investment here, and build a food processing factory."

"Mostly mochi, soufflés, cookies, grape juice and so on?" Lu Shengnan was silent for two seconds and then asked rhetorically: "Boss, do you know what the last company I worked for did?" ”

Isn't the previous company the previous company Qiansheng Group?

Isn't the previous company the previous company Qiansheng Group?

Just when Xu An almost blurted out to answer Lu Shengnan's inexplicable question, Lu Shengnan on the other end of the conversation took the first step to speak.

"After I left Qiansheng Group, I worked in a food company for about a week, or half a month, this food company has a wide range of operations, and they produce and sell all kinds of common foods in supermarkets.

During my tenure, I sorted out the company's products and made a detailed market analysis report for each category. These categories include the products you just mentioned, boss."

"Lao Zhang, have you heard, Zhuzhou City has reached a cooperation with Xu's Catering, and now Xu's Catering has been looking for a good store in Jiangyuan City, ready to sign a contract for decoration and open a branch," the person in charge of the Yunhai Disabled Persons' Federation said to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Really, don't be gossip, right?" The person on the other end of the line will be skeptical.

"Last night, I received a video about the news broadcast of Xu's Catering, and the owner of Xu's Catering mentioned in the news that two stores of Xu's Catering have opened branches in many cities in Hai Duong Province.

When I heard this, I felt curious, so I went to ask my friends and classmates in the surrounding cities, the shops in Dongqing City have been renovated, ready to open, the shops in Zhuzhou City have been found, and the Jiangyuan City side is also talking about cooperation."

"What's going on? At the beginning of October, we went to Xu's catering headquarters and walked around, at that time the boss was very conservative, and reached a temporary cooperation with Dongqing City and Jiangyuan City, two provinces that are relatively close, and now how can it be involved with such a remote city as Zhuzhou City? ”

"The news I heard is," said the person in charge of the Yunhai Disabled Persons' Federation, in a low voice:

"Lao Jiang in Zhuzhou City has set up a bridge for Xu's Catering to facilitate their cooperation with the local middle school. The cooperation of providing group meals to the middle school has been completed, and the cooperation between their Disabled Persons' Federation and Xu's Catering has also been completed! ”

"What do you mean" the person on the other end of the phone said softly: "If we also connect and build bridges for Xu's Catering, then we can also open a branch here?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just guessing. Guess, you know? ”

“.”

After a while, the two ended the call, and the person on the other end of the phone dialed Jiang Dashan's phone number the moment the call ended.

"Old Jiang, I heard that you have done a big thing recently!"

"What the hell, what else can I do in this place, don't you hear the wrong name, come to me Zhang Guan Li Dai!"

"You just answer me, is Xu's Catering preparing to open a branch in Zhuzhou, has it reached a cooperation with your Disabled Persons' Federation, has it even found a store, and has it sent someone to your Disabled Persons' Federation for training?"

"Yo, Lao Zhang, you should be impressed if you don't see you for three days! This time you are really well informed, this cooperation has only been reached for two days, and you will know! ”

"I've heard of it." Lao Zhang lowered his voice again and asked the question he was most concerned about: "You matched Xu's catering and gave them a group meal cooperation, so they agreed to open a branch in Zhuzhou City?" ”

"What nonsense is there, it's all nothing!" After Jiang Dashan reprimanded angrily, he skipped the second half of Lao Zhang's words and said directly:

"Xu's Catering is in a crazy bidding, as long as it can win the bidding for more than 500 people in the local city, it will open two branches of Xu's Fast Food and Xu's Lo-mei in the local area, and cooperate with our Disabled Persons' Federation by the way."

What Jiang Dashan said was the original words Xu An said when they met that day, without any personal feelings and false ingredients.

"Therefore, as long as the prerequisite of 500 people can be met, Xu's Catering can open two branches in the local area?" Lao Zhang confirmed again.

"That's pretty much what it means," Jiang Dashan said vaguely.

"Then I understand."

"The review submitted to the bank on Monday has been successfully passed, and the loan will be released next Wednesday and Friday at the latest. Everyone come to me and take back the receipt information, remember to organize the file."

As soon as these words came out, several people in the office left to go to the administrative staff to get the information, and Brother Liu was also one of them, but at the moment when he left, Luo Peng, the intern who was sitting next to him, also stood up at the same time.

Seeing this, Brother Liu immediately put on the posture of his predecessor, and said in a gentle but loud voice: "Xiao Luo, I can't take it myself, you continue to be busy." ”

"Ah" Luo Peng turned his head to look at Brother Liu when he heard this, with an embarrassed smile on his face, scratched his head and said honestly: "I also submitted a document on Monday."

"Oh, is it the fast-food restaurant owner's order?" Brother Liu said with a relieved smile, gently patted Luo Peng's shoulder, and encouraged:

"I didn't expect you to take down this customer, your skills are good, why don't you tell me, but you learned well, and you only submitted it once and passed the bank's approval."

"It's Brother Liu, you taught it well"

After a few words, the two of them took the information from the administrator's hand and turned to walk to their seats.

Brother Liu's gaze swept to the brown paper bag in Luo Peng's hand from time to time, and asked half-teasingly, half-maliciously: "I remember whether this boss came to me to ask for a loan of one million or two million, I don't know what the amount you finally signed?" ”

"No more, no more, no more"

"What's not much, Xiao Luo, you're just too modest!" Just when Luo Peng wanted to continue to pretend to be stupid, the handling staff spoke out and said: "What one million, two million, plus zero is almost the same, Xiao Luo won a list of 24 million!" ”

Twenty-four million!

Whether they were busy working or chatting, or even colleagues who hurriedly walked out to meet with customers, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Luo Peng in unison

"Don't make such jokes, it's 2.4 million, right?" Brother Liu took over the conversation dryly, his eyes firmly locked on the handling personnel, expecting to hear the answer he wanted from him.

"It's twenty-four million, I can see it clearly." Saying that, the handler didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and poked Brother Liu's heart every word:

"Brother Liu, you are really a good mentor, such a high list can be given to Xiao Luo to practice Xiao Luo won this list, and it is a sure thing to become a regular, and we will be equal colleagues in the future! No longer what a tutor is a student

Xiao Luo, do you want to invite us to a meal after you get the commission. I won't kill you, just Xu's fast food box lunch, just give one of us to one, okay? ”

Luo Peng was still a little weak in the heart of being secretly discovered, but listening to the words of the handling personnel, a little confidence suddenly rose in his heart.

Yes, Brother Liu is now nominally his mentor, but after he becomes a regular at the end of the month, he is also a regular employee who can take orders through the system

Since everyone is a regular employee, who is afraid of whom!

Thinking of this, although Luo Peng's face was still filled with that simple smile, his stiff back straightened, and he responded to the words of the handling staff crisply and decisively: "Eh, okay!" After the commission is issued, I invite all the brothers and sisters in our office to eat Xu's fast food box lunch! ”

Jingle Bell – Jingle Bell ————

"Hello, I am Wang Fulong, the director of Xu's catering bidding department, who are you?"

"Hello Director Wang, I am Zhang Shaosong, the person in charge of the Huijiang Disabled Persons' Federation, and I have a friend here who wants to know about your company's group meal, I don't know if Director Wang is inconvenient?"

"It's convenient, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to tell you about the specific situation of your friend?"

"He is the director of a private hospital on our side, and the entire hospital with temporary workers and students is about 1,200 people, and everyone who cooperated with the supplier before is tired of it, and if you want to change the taste, I won't think of your family for the first time."

After that, Zhang Shaosong changed his words and said with a smile: "Although my friend likes the style of your family's group meal, he has a small request."

"Oh! Leader, please speak! ”

"It's just that your store is not here in Huijiang City, there are no stores here, and the process can't be passed, isn't it?"

"The store is not a problem, if this cooperation can be reached, our Xu's Catering will open a branch in Huijiang City!"

"That's it." Zhang Shaosong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I will rest assured, I don't know when Director Wang will have time to come to Huijiang City, and I will introduce you to each other."

"How's tomorrow? I have time tomorrow! Wang Fulong didn't even look at the calendar, and said categorically.

"No problem! So how about we meet at Huijiang Hotel at half past eleven noon tomorrow? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Fulong excitedly waved his fist into the air, this is the third call he received today, the person in charge of the Disabled Persons' Federation of prefecture-level cities in Haiyang Province
