Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Chapter 239 The Rapid Development of the Kimchi Factory

Liu Xia Lian nodded. "I learned a lot of information during my visit to the provincial capital. For example, the large factory with 10,000 employees even provides breakfast. The chef in the kitchen also wants to sleep in, so they mainly provide millet pumpkin porridge, corn porridge, steamed buns, kimchi and the like. They also make it themselves, but the small amount they make is not enough to eat, so most of it still needs to be purchased. In the past few days, Sister Wei's fresh food store has received orders for tens of thousands of bags of kimchi, and these tens of thousands of bags can only be said to be for tasting. The quantity will be much larger in the future. Selling three or five bags a month is not a problem at all."

"Let's hire more people, another fifty, plus the original fifty, and we will have a factory with a hundred people." Xu Changyuan felt a little proud.

"Okay, arrange the recruitment. You check it out. There will be a seven-day probation period. If you find anyone unsuitable during this period, let them go. Food processing is a very rigorous matter. Oh, and our kimchi is provided in the cafeteria. Everyone from the leaders to the workers will eat their own kimchi."

Xu Changyuan smiled and said, "How can you not believe in my grandfather's technology? What we do is clean and hygienic, and it is definitely the benchmark in the industry. If a food factory doesn't dare to eat its own food, I really can't imagine what will happen."

"I have great faith in you, Grandpa, but our factory will have thousands of employees this fall. With thousands of people, we can't just rely on the workers' initiative. We must build a complete quality inspection system to find problems in the vats and prevent problematic products from entering the assembly line. If problematic products are on the assembly line, they must not flow into the market. To build a brand, we must not make do with just any product. Safety is the bottom line of the food industry."

In fact, the profit of kimchi products is very considerable. Selling them to distributors can bring a net profit of up to 40%, which is enough to support the rapid development of the company.

There are still some minor problems in the packaging workshop, because kimchi is a long-shelf food, and there is a sterilization process after plastic bag or glass bottle packaging. Glass bottles are easy to say, just spray them with steam over 100 degrees in the tunnel, and the sterilization is completed in a few minutes, clean and neat. However, the sterilization of plastic bag packaging is more troublesome, and food-grade plastic bags cannot withstand too high temperatures. The packaging needs to be soaked in hot water at 80 degrees for ten minutes. Because the current production is small, it is okay to use stainless steel baskets to put kimchi in and soak them.

"This sterilization method is too slow. If we want to produce hundreds of thousands of bags a day, we will be exhausted. We have to build an assembly line."

Grandpa said: "This is the method now, there is no ready-made assembly line."

Liu Xia Lian had no choice. She had seen this kind of machine before, but she was not omnipotent and knew nothing about machinery.

"We have to buy the parts and make it ourselves. Otherwise, when the volume increases in the future, we will be in a passive position. Incomplete sterilization will cause a lot of trouble. We will issue a reward notice internally. Anyone who can make the sterilization machine will be rewarded 500 yuan."

It was a sensation. Most of the salary for a month's work was only 50 or 60 yuan, and a reward of 500 yuan was equivalent to ten months' salary.

When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, the workers gathered around the notice and discussed it, but no one could solve the problem. When Liu Xialian was in a dilemma, Liu Daqiang, the deputy transport captain of the kimchi factory, came over. After listening to Liu Xialian's request, he patted his bald head and said, "I got it. Use iron plates to make a rectangular hot water pool, fix a chain plate on it, and fix the stainless steel basket on the chain plate. Just like the ancient waterwheel, the chain plate will slowly carry the kimchi in the stainless steel basket into the hot water pool, enter on the left, and come out on the right. The workers only need to be responsible for loading and unloading the stainless steel basket."

"I didn't realize you had this ability. Just list out what I need to buy. I want to see the results in a month. How do you think?"

Liu Daqiang didn't dare to say it was too full. He is a tractor driver and now has a heavy delivery task every day. He is also responsible for the daily maintenance and repair of the tractor. Fortunately, the new car has no major problems.

"It's not a big problem. I'll try my best to finish it."

"It's not try my best, it's guarantee. If you complete it successfully and it's suitable for use, in addition to the 500 yuan reward, I will increase your salary by 20 yuan. From 80 yuan to 120 yuan, you will be at the same level as Cui Yongchuan. How about that?"

Liu Daqiang felt his blood pressure soaring instantly, and he even felt a little dizzy.

"Don't worry, Director. I will complete the task. I need two male assistants. They won't take up my working time. I can just work overtime in my spare time."

"Okay, overtime hours will be paid according to the standard. Be careful not to stay up too late."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Liu Daqiang was very happy. He made a lot of money last time when he collected wild vegetables for Liu Xia Lian.

According to his original idea, he was already 30 years old, didn't have a wife, and his salary was not enough to spend, so he planned to leave no descendants in his generation. Unexpectedly, he met a noble man. His basic salary was 80 yuan, plus bonuses and overtime pay, and he got nearly 120 yuan, which was much higher than the state-owned enterprise employees of the same period. Of course, his job was not only tiring, but sometimes it was life-threatening. But was he afraid of risking his life? Of course not, he was not afraid, there was money to be made, so why should he be afraid of risking his life?

This sterilizer is not difficult to make. There is a machinery factory in the county. We can purchase some equipment from them and make some improvements. It should be possible to make it soon.

In the office, the assistant reported the number of acres of vegetables promoted during this period: 1,500 acres of long beans, 1,000 acres of cucumbers, 1,000 acres of oil beans, and 1,000 acres of chili peppers.

"No, that's a little too little. Before the season is over, plant an additional 2,000 mu of long beans. Also, plant at least 1,000 mu of Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, green radish, and carrots. Make a plan and publicize it in advance. We can plant it after the spring corn is harvested. I think it should be easier."

"Okay, Director. Every household in our city grows these things. Even if we don't promote them, we can still harvest a lot of them."

"The retail buyers don't have much volume, and the quality can't be guaranteed. Kimchi is a low-profit product. The real purpose is to help the people get rich through the manufacturers. This is the purpose of building this factory."

"I understand, Director."

The assistant went down to get busy. This assistant was a female worker in the original forest farm, responsible for the initial processing of wood. She was not young anymore, her children were all grown up, and her surname was Ma.

Liu Xialian walked around the factory. The small factory is good. She finished the tour in a short time. But she also found many problems. Six thousand of the ten thousand kimchi jars have been delivered, but according to the current planting area, even if all of them are delivered, it will not be enough. She needs to buy another ten thousand. Another thing is to set up heating in the factory. The winter in Northeast China is very cold. If there is no heating, the kimchi jars will be frozen. In short, she needs to invest money, and she will not see the return in the short term.
