Chapter 195 Qin Huairu, come in and die (page 12)
He Yuzhu shook his head quickly: "You should arrange the purchaser."
Don't say that He Yuzhu doesn't have relevant purchasing personnel. Even if he does, he won't be involved in the procurement work.
He Yuzhu's own position is very clear, which is to promote the start-up of the cannery and produce qualified cans.
Everything else is secondary.
What's more, He Yuzhu didn't have any experienced purchasers on hand, so he could only use people recommended on the street.
Procurement has always been a hot spot for corruption, and He Yuzhu was too lazy to get involved in this job.
Director Li also guessed that he would not take over, so he skipped the topic and asked, "Zhuzi, has the sugar issue been resolved?"
Seeing that the mold problem has been solved, the site, cans, buyers, and trains are all ready. The most important thing now is to solve the white sugar problem.
White sugar has always been a high-end nutritional product in the past, more expensive than pork, but the most expensive part of canned goods is white sugar. If white sugar cannot be obtained, the cannery cannot open.
There is saccharin at this time, but that cannot be canned.
Director Li also reported to the district that he wanted to equip more white sugar, but the superior authorities did not provide much, which could not meet the production needs.
In the leader's view, canned food is a high-end nutritional product, so it doesn't matter if we produce less. This has been the case for many years.
He Yuzhu said: "Don't worry, I have prepared the white sugar and rock sugar. They are in the warehouse. I will just arrange for someone to pick them up later."
I had already stored a lot of them in the space, and I also purchased a lot of them when I was in Moscow. At that time, I thought I would never have the chance to come here again, so I had enough raw materials.
"The warehouse on Qianmen Street?"
"Yeah, that's right there."
At present, the radios are almost sold out, and the warehouse happens to be empty, so He Yuzhu got the white sugar in.
Neither truck could be pulled, so He Yuzhu just drove the truck over instead of transporting the sugar directly.
Having space is just for the convenience of storing goods, you cannot rely on space for everything.
Putting the sugar in the warehouse and organizing manpower to transport it is more realistic.
"I didn't expect you to be so fast. Now I feel relieved. With white sugar, the cannery can be opened."
"I have already made arrangements. Just let people go directly to pick up the goods."
He handed over a note for picking up the goods, signed by He Yuzhu, and took it to the warehouse to pick up the goods.
Director Li then looked at it and finally felt relieved.
He Yuzhu then said: "Sister, I have something to tell you first."
"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." Director Li said.
"Isn't this my wife's pregnancy?"
He Yuzhu talked about things at home. Her aunt was married and her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her second child. The breakfast shop in the alley was too busy.
"So I don't want to do it early. I want to arrange personnel to come to the cannery."
"I thought it was something. It's all trivial. How many people are there?"
"Four."
Originally there were five people, and Vanilla's sister was still left as the nanny, so only four people needed to be arranged.
"In this way, I will give you 8 places. If a neighbor or friend asks you to come in, you can also arrange to come in."
"Okay, thank you sister."
"You're still being polite to me, hurry up and get the cannery ready for me, and I'll help you with anything on the street."
"My sister is still nice to me."
"Go, you have a wife and children, and you are still smiling like this."
He Yuzhu came out of the street and went to Elena to report the good news. Although the cannery was not open, everything was ready and all it needed was the east wind.
I found Elena and told her the matter, but as I said so, I became less honest.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The back room next to the gate of the cannery was transformed into a purchasing station. Only fruits delivered to the door were accepted. Purchasing personnel were sent out to bring in carts of fruits.
He Yuzhu has not been idle either, he has been in the workshop supervising.
It is often heard on the Internet that workers in food factories do not eat biscuits from their own factories, and workers in fruit factories do not eat cans from their own factories.
This statement can be applied to all food processing plants.
This was in the 1950s, and these workers were all women recruited from the streets. They had no adequate knowledge or awareness about hygiene.
It took He Yuzhu three days to teach these women how to pay attention to hygiene. This is not about cleaning up at home, but about cleaning up personal hygiene.
No fingernails, no makeup, no long hair, hair must be covered with a hat
The various requirements were very harsh, causing many people to scold He Yuzhu behind his back for his harshness.
Cans need to be sterilized at high temperatures before they can be sealed. At this time, it is not the kind of bottle cap that can be opened with just a twist. Instead, it needs to be pried open with pliers or a screwdriver before it can be eaten.
For convenience, many people directly use a kitchen knife to make a cross on the thin iron sheet, and then pour out the cans inside.
When He Yuzhu first started, he wanted to use that new type of bottle cap, but after calculating the cost, it was two or three times more expensive than using thin iron sheet, so he chose can lids made of thin iron sheet.
"How long will it take?" Director Shen asked.
He Yuzhu looked at his watch and said, "Don't worry, it still takes two minutes."
After three days of stumbling, the cannery finally conducted trial production for the first time. Now the cans are being sterilized in a high-temperature box, waiting to be packaged.
Two minutes usually fly by in a flash, but at this critical moment it seems very long.
When the time finally came, He Yuzhu opened the closed door.
"The time for high-temperature sterilization cannot be shortened. If the time is short, the canned food will easily rot and deteriorate if it is not thoroughly sterilized. This is damaging to your own brand."
"You are right, this matter must be strictly managed." Director Shen said.
There is no timing equipment at the moment, so you can only watch the wall clock time, and then manually operate it when the time is up.
It is impossible for He Yuzhu to go to work on time by himself. This is just a trial production. After training the workers, He Yuzhu will not care about this and will just be happy as a bad guy.
As soon as the door opened, a burst of hot steam came out. After the steam dissipated, He Yuzhu pulled the trolley out.
Each layer above is filled with cans without lids, and only the last step is to put the lids on.
He Yuzhu directly took a plate and placed it on the table next to him, signaling the packaging workers to take away the rest.
Director Shen ordered someone to bring some dishes and chopsticks, then wrapped cans and bottles in towels and poured them into two bowls.
After chatting for a while, he and He Yuzhu tasted the taste together.
After tasting it, Director Shen said: "The elegant and refreshing fragrance is quite appropriate to describe the canned white pear. I didn't expect it to be so delicious."
"It's pretty good." He Yuzhu also took a bite.
The ones that tasted white pears, and the ones that ate apples and grapes had the same taste as the test products made before. Now He Yuzhu was relieved.
"It's all good. This is the recipe. It can be packaged and labeled."
