Mu Chen

27. Set up a factory

After Yang Li left, Mu Wen considered for a long time, first discussed with Mu's grandfather Jiang Cheng, and then inquired about the relevant department, and finally talked with Mu Chen about his plan half a month later.

He plans to resign and go back to the village to build a small processing factory to mass-produce the skin care products he is now doing by hand. On the other hand, he can also go home to help Grandpa Mu take care of the hospital, but the only concern now is Mu Chen.

"Dad has two ideas now. One is, if you want, you can go to Jiangsu to study with your mother. She has already asked, you can join the class first, and you can settle down after buying a house. After all, the quality of teaching there must be high. .”

Mu Chen just rolled his eyes at this, "I just go to school here, I don't go anywhere, I don't believe that I can't get into a good university based on my grades, not to mention that there are students who are admitted to Beijing University and Qing University every year in Provincial No. [-] Middle School, Didn’t the factory also have a student who went to Beijing University last year?”

Mu Wen smiled, "The other is that he is still studying in the factory, but Dad is worried that he will not be able to take care of you when he is busy. At least he can't make lunch, and dinner will probably be late..."

Mu Chen rolled his eyes again, "It's as if my mother can cook for me after I go to Jiangsu. Who else in my mother's heart besides herself?"

Mowen paused, but he still didn't blame his son after all. "The factory is going to open, there must be a lot of things, and there are many problems to be solved now, I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of you when I get busy."

Muchen said earnestly, "I can take care of myself, Dad, you can rest assured to take care of your affairs, my grandfather is getting old now, it's good for you to spend more time with him, every time I go back, I watch him circle around you Find something to say."

Mu Wen...

Muchen, "I've grown up, I can cook, I can do my laundry and tidy up the house. Besides, I live alone, so I don't mess around and don't mess around. I won't waste time and delay my studies."

Mu Wen, my son is so sensible, why is my heart sour?

"Well, I will submit the application to the unit tomorrow, and I will come back every day to fry some sauce for you, stew some meat and put away, and you can cook some rice or noodles yourself."

Mu Chen, "Well, don't come back if you're too busy or too late, and I'll be worried if there are no street lights on the road back to my grandfather's house. After you make a lot of money, dad, buy a small car and come back every day."

Mu Wen rubbed his son's head, "Good son, thank you!"

The next day, Muwen's application was not approved.

The old dean was the director of the department that Mu Wen had brought with him as soon as he entered the factory. He was not only an ordinary leader but also his teacher.

He knew that Mu Wen's personality was a perfect doctor, but after asking Mu Wen's thoughts, he thought about the actual situation of his family and the rumors that were getting worse and worse in the factory, and finally agreed.

It's just that the old dean asked Mu Wen to stay without pay instead of resigning. The older generation's mentality is to leave a setback for themselves in everything.Mu Wen could only accept this kindness and typed the report again.

Colleagues in the hospital tried to persuade him that they thought that Mu Wen was tired because of Yang Li, and asked Mu Wen to ignore the rumors, because everyone knew his character...

Mu Wen seriously explained that it is true that the family hospital is empty, and that his son has already entered junior high school, so he can let him go.

They were invited to have a "farewell meal" together at home, but they were rejected by everyone. In the end, the old director treated the guests and had a meal outside before it was over.

On the third day, Mu Wen, who was hungover, didn't go anywhere. He did a big cleaning at home, changed the sheets and quilt covers, and boiled a pot of beef chili sauce for Mu Chen. Except for the ones brought to Jiang Cheng, the rest was full. The seven canning jars took up a shelf in the freezer.

This is Muwen's specialty.

Dice the beef brisket, first put in the fatty meat and stir fry the base oil, then pour it all in and keep stir-frying on a low heat. After the oil is exhausted, add five-spice powder, minced ginger, soy sauce, diced dried tofu, meat After frying, add chopped red pepper, minced garlic, and finally add diced garlic, and sprinkle cooked sesame seeds when it comes out of the pan.

With plenty of time today, Mu Wen also fried peanuts and put them in.In this kind of spicy sauce, the beef is hard but very chewy, and it is not good to eat a piece of it.

Grandpa Mu can't eat enough, but he likes Mu Chen and Jiang Cheng very much. Mu Wen will cook a lot every time.It can be sandwiched into cakes, or mixed with noodles and hot rice. They all taste very good. Muchen brings a bottle to school, and if he buys a few more white flour cakes, they can be sold out in one class break.

On the fourth day, Mu Wen started to get busy. He and Jiang Cheng packed up the bungalow where their family lived every time they went home, and stuffed all their things into the room of Grandpa Mu and Jiang Cheng.

The self-built houses in the village are all relatively high and deep. This one has more than 30 square meters, and it is not a problem to set up a simple small workshop.

The hospital left Grandpa Mu for several days, and Mu Wen and Jiang Cheng went to the neighboring province to buy back the reaction kettle, high-viscosity mixer, emulsifier, paste making machine, and a batch of raw materials.

The equipment is small and there are not many raw materials.They also plan to look for more types of raw materials and compare several suppliers.The most important thing is that from manual to machine, Mu Wen still didn't know what to do, so he didn't buy more.

The result is very gratifying. Two rigorous doctors, and several good formulas obtained through repeated practice, quickly made a finished product.

The packaging bottles were made to order at the glass factory in the city.Compared with the crude packaging currently on the market, they ordered three types of frosted bottles: light pink, light blue, and light green, which make people feel very high-end at first glance.

Appearance is very important, this is the experience Mu Wen got from Yang Li's shopping.

The trial production was successful, and the two of them became even more busy. Jiang Cheng found his contacts in the provincial capital, and sent a batch to beauty shops, photo studios, and several small cosmetics shops he was familiar with.

Big shopping malls still can’t get in. On the one hand, the fees are too high, and on the other hand, Muwen is still a small unregistered workshop, and its products are still three-no products, so it doesn’t qualify for admission at all.

Mu Wen also started to find a firm for capital verification, register the company, find relevant departments to apply for a production license, and start to handle product quality inspections after the procedures are complete...

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the number of cold and cold patients suddenly increased, and some people with seasonal diseases, such as bronchitis and allergic cough, also joined in. The hospital is busy every day, and the two can only go out in turn For business, even skin care products can only be done at night.

After being so busy, by the time Mu Wen realized it, he had been away from home for five days, and he didn't know how Mu Chen was doing at home.

The hospital has two telephones, one in their consulting room and one in the pharmacy, but they don't have one at home. Mu Wen decided to apply for another one for his family when he goes out to do errands tomorrow.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Cheng, who had been away for a few days, came back.Mu Wen asked about the situation, and the results of the trial were very good. Jiang Cheng also brought back three orders, and the quantity was not small.

Although Mu Wen was happy, he still unscrupulously stuffed the last few patients in his hands, and hurriedly rode his bicycle back to the factory.

The distance from the village to the factory was more than eight kilometers, and it took about [-] minutes to ride a bicycle, but it took him a while to talk to Jiang Cheng, and it was already dark when he went out.

The days in winter were short, and Mu Wen walked more and more anxiously. When he arrived at the family building, it was already dark, and Mu Wen saw the lighted windows of his house from a distance, and he felt at ease all of a sudden.

After going upstairs, I found that there was still a little boy at home. Yu Yong was writing the pinyin for the kindergarten layout. When he saw Mu Wen, he shouted happily, "Uncle Mu, you are back! Brother Chen, Uncle Mu is back!"

Mu Chen was still holding a spatula in his hand, and poked his head out from the kitchen, "Dad, you're back, haven't you eaten yet? Wait until I cook something else, the food is ready."

Mu Wen patted Yu Yong's little head, went into the kitchen to wash his hands, "What are you doing? It smells good, go do your homework, Dad will do it for you."

Mu Chen, "No need, Dad, you're freezing, your face is turning red, you warm up first, I'll be there soon." He said, sprinkle salt on the cooked potato shreds in the pot, stir fry them twice to serve out.

Seeing that he was doing well, Mu Wen backed out with a smile, changed into the home clothes he wore at home, and blew up the radiator. After washing his hands, Mu Chen had already served the rice.

A hot and sour potato shreds, a cabbage fried vermicelli, a plate of sliced ​​red sausage, and a small half bowl of beef sauce.Yu Yong surrounded the table to distribute chopsticks for everyone, while Mu Chen was making tea in his usual cup, and the steam was wafting up.

The light bulb in the room is only 60w, not too bright, the yellowish light has a different kind of warmth, Mu Wen's heart suddenly settled down.

During the meal, I asked Mu Chen about his studies, and he didn't say much more when he learned that his recent test scores were good.

Muchen explained to him, "Uncle Yu and Aunt Lin both have to work overtime. The latest activity in the factory is 'Forty Days of Hard Work'. It seems that they want to complete some targets before the end of the year. It's almost ten o'clock for them to get off work every day. I only found out when I went to see Xiaoyong the weekend before yesterday, so I told Uncle Yu that I would pick him up the next night and go back after they finish their work."

Mu Wen didn't say anything, but only asked after Yu Yong fell asleep at night, because the couple had to work overtime, and the child had already learned to open the door by himself, so he could go home by himself, but he heard from his classmate Yu Xiaochuan the day before yesterday that their family was fighting again .

Yu Xiaochuan was his classmate in junior high school, and he was in the front and back row with Yu Yong's family.He was worried about going to see the child after school, only to find that the child was alone at home, eating a cold steamed bun. The couple were afraid that the child would be scalded, and there was no hot water in the thermos.

"Dad, you don't know. When I went there, the stove was turned off. The room was terribly cold. Xiaoyong was dressed in dirty clothes. It looked so pitiful."

Mu Wen, "Then they asked you to bring Xiaoyong back as soon as you said it? You are also a child, and these two are really big-hearted."

Muchen, "I waited until almost ten o'clock and they didn't come back, and Xiaoyong fell asleep. Well, I said they didn't agree, but in the end I said you will definitely agree.

Muwen...

Muchen, "I picked up Xiaoyong directly from the kindergarten on Monday, Dad, you agree, you go and talk to Uncle Yu."

Mu Wen, "Then can you manage it? Now that I'm in junior high school, I have a lot of homework. One more child means a lot more work."

Mu Chen, "Dad, don't worry, I really can do it. Xiaoyong is a good boy, he is not skinny at all. Our junior high school dismissal time is [-]:[-], so there is no delay in picking him up. There is a washing machine for washing clothes. I have to eat myself, I have to cook anyway."

Mu Wen, "Well, it means that your Uncle Yu and the others are also off work. I'll go over and say, you should go to bed early, and I'll just open the door myself."

Muchen, "Okay, thank you, Dad."

Mu Wen put on his coat and went to Yu's house again. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw the couple who had just got off work.

As soon as Yu Jianguo saw Mu Wen, he quickly let him into the house, thanking and apologizing at the same time, "Mr. Mu, I'm really sorry, my son has caused you trouble. We originally wanted to send him to his aunt's house, but the little one Chen said that the kindergarten has already started to learn pinyin, if Xiaoyong doesn't learn it now, he won't be able to keep up in school, look at this..."

When Mu Wen entered the room, he found that the room was messy and cold.This is a one-story house, and the airtightness is not as good as that of a building, and there is no heating, and the heating is entirely dependent on the stove that is produced by itself.There is a larger stove in the middle of Yujiadi, and there is a smaller one in the couple's bedroom, and the fires of both stoves are now off.

As soon as Lin Lan entered the door, she was busy taking newspapers and firewood to start a fire, and brought in a dustpan of charcoal blocks to prepare for the fire before pressing them on.

Seeing that Mu Wen didn't sit down but watched her busy, he felt a little surprised, "Doctor Mu, I will ask for leave tomorrow to send Xiaoyong to my sister's house, and I will pick him up after this big work is over. He is now It's the middle class, and there will be another year next year, so I shouldn't miss school, your Xiaochen is also young now, and you are not at home, it is indeed too troublesome."

Mu Wen, "What's going on in the factory? I haven't heard about it since I left. Why are you going to do it all of a sudden?"

Yu Jianguo, "I was notified by the Propaganda Department last Saturday that they were going to work hard and work overtime. I thought they wouldn't be working part-time. Who knew they would have to. I heard that people in the agency have been arranged to be on duty."

Lin Lan, "I'm not afraid that you will laugh at Dr. Mu. Look at our house. There is no one at home during the day. The stove must be dead. Every night when I come back, I don't light a fire to cook, and the next day there is nothing. But I still I really dare not ask for leave."

Speaking of this, I looked at Mu Wen with some anxiety, "Not to mention anything else, I just look forward to being able to divide a family building at any time, it doesn't matter how big or small, there can be a water supply, and there can be a public house to heat the heating. Even in winter, I can’t deduct a few yuan. Although I am a temporary worker now, we can still be regarded as half-employees. His father has inquired about it and said that we can give priority to housing allocation in this situation.”

Mu Wen smiled, "Look at the quick temper you two have, I was afraid that you would blame Chenchen for taking Xiaoyong away on his own initiative."

Yu Jianguo...

Lin Lan...

Mu Wen, "I came here to bring some change of clothes for Xiaoyong. Don't worry, the two children had a good time. Chenchen said that he is happy to have Xiaoyong as his companion. When I get through this busy period Will come back every day."

Yu Jianguo and Lin Xiaolan looked at each other, "Doctor Mu, we are not worried, there is really no reason for this..."

Mu Wen, "Okay, let's not be so polite, Xiao Lin, help me find some clothes for Xiaoyong first. Old Yu, if I really can't get them, I will send the child back. Don't blame me for never ending That's all right... all right, all right, I'm leaving first, you guys have to start a fire and cook."
