Chapter 450 - 450 Interacting Period
For the first time, Yu Bing felt a little confused about her feelings. She and Xiao Sheng seemed to be completely different from Jiang Chun and her boyfriend.
Amidst such conflicted and confused emotions, Yu Bing fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the snow began to fall even more heavily. When Yu Bing stepped on the snow, the snow reached her ankles.
It was farm time in the village again. Other than the factory, which was still operating normally, the work in the field had already been put on hold, and people watched over the orchard according to the shift schedule.
This year, they no longer needed to ask for the earthworms from other people’s fish ponds, and that saved them another sum of money.
When the fish pond dried last month, they let the children in the village go down to catch earthworms together. They could get work points and play with mud at the same time, so all of them were overjoyed.
When the weather turned cold last month, all the fish had already been fished out. The chickens and ducks on the farm would become the contents of the new New Year gift box released by the food factory.
After collecting the eggs every month, they identified the fertilized eggs and continued to hatch them. The rest were directly transferred to the food factory to produce ingredients. This method reduced costs greatly.
Yu Bing had secretly smoked them on the mountain last year, but this year, she no longer had to do the labor herself.
In order to develop the factory better, she contributed the formula to the factory. As long as the order came from Xiao Sheng, she could get dividends.
As Yu Bing thought of next month’s bonuses, she laughed to herself.
This time, the fish pond harvested more than 13,000 catties of fish and they were all made into canned spicy fish according to the weight of 500 grams per bottle. Because there was a drying and frying process, which reduced the water inside, only 12,852 bottles were made.
There were 3,000 chickens and ducks each. Yu Bing asked the factory to make smoked meat because the welfare products distributed by the factory were based on the price. However, the price of a whole chicken and duck wasn’t cheap, so they were sold by half, which was equivalent to 6,000 bags of cured chicken and 6,000 bags of cured duck in total.
This was still an era where supplies were scarce and everyone ate meat sparingly, so this amount was actually just right.
Although there were only half, it could last a family of five or six for two to three months if they cut a small piece and ate it with stir-fried other vegetables every meal.
The food factory had been developing new products. In the past few months, Yu Bing had judged whether it was worth continuing to produce based on sales, so she had been adjusting the amount and variety of food. At the end of the year, the number of food types still being sold reached 16.
Yu Bing’s strategy of setting up an image shop was very successful. The Delicious Food Factory had already successfully made a name for itself in Jiang Province. Due to the increase in orders, the food factory had recruited another batch of workers in the past few months.
There were already 65 workers in the factory, and the business personnel outside the factory had also become three people per shop. There were one manager and two employees, totaling about 100 people in all the shops.
The debts owed last year and the beginning of the year were also paid off in advance, so the village’s industrial chain was booming.
On the 10th of February, according to the production progress decided by Yu Bing, all the production in the factory had to be completed by January 20th. The annual leave would start on the 21st. It was less than a month away, so the factory was working overtime to produce.
Jiang Chun was the person-in-charge of the production department. She went out early every morning and only returned when the sky was completely dark. She was even busier than Yu Bing.
It was also because the various departments in the factory had already formed regulations that Yu Bing relaxed a little after she was done busying some time ago. Now, Yu Bing was in charge of cooking three meals and chores at home.
After breakfast, Yu Bing left the house in her old cotton jacket and gray scarf.
A few women from the village walked over. When they saw Yu Bing walking on the road, they immediately took the initiative to greet her. “Miss Yu, you’re going to work?”
Yu Bing saw that the women looked a little familiar. Although she couldn’t name them, she still smiled and replied, “Yes, you guys are going out?”
“There’s not much work to do now, so we’re going to town. We’re bored out of our minds.”
“Miss Yu, I’m studying hard during the night classes now! Next time I apply for a job, pay more attention to me.”
“Me too, me too. I didn’t dare to miss a single lesson.”
As the few of them chatted non-stop, Yu Bing smiled helplessly and said, “As long as you guys attend class diligently, there will be a chance when the factory expands!”
