Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1083 Arrival
The two off-road vehicles started all the way from Qingdao. At that time, the country's high-speed network was limited, so they took the national highway all the way. They passed Zibo, entered Jinan, and then entered Henan from Shangqiu. When they passed Kaifeng, they stopped to rest for a few days.

Kaifeng is abbreviated as "Bian". It was called Bianzhou, Bianliang and Bianjing in ancient times. It was once the capital of the Song Dynasty and was also a relatively prosperous city. However, it is now just an unknown inland town. Kaifeng in the 90s was a little shabby. Jiang Yan remembered that Kaifeng's snacks were quite famous. The soup dumplings and other snacks made the few people shout that they were addicted, otherwise they would not have stayed here for so long.

After Kaifeng, the car drove on the vast North China Plain. Can you imagine that kind of plain of thousands of miles? The feeling is like running on the vast land. This place is worthy of being called the Central Plains. Since ancient times, those who control the Central Plains have ruled the world. This is quite reasonable. The wind blows the wheat waves, which makes people feel refreshed, especially when they see the people still busy in the fields. It feels really good.

After passing Kaifeng, they arrived in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. This is a city built by train, but now it is the largest city in Henan. After passing Zhengzhou, it is Xuchang, the ancient capital of the Han and Wei Dynasties. After a short rest in Xuchang, they went directly to their destination, Luohe. They were exhausted along the way, and after arriving in Luohe, they drove directly to their factory.

When they arrived at the factory, they informed the factory director Wu Yongfei, who took Jiang Yan and the others to the dormitory that had been arranged for them in advance. After washing up, they went straight downstairs.

"Zhu Zi, Old Wu and I will have a welcome party later and we will have Henan cuisine. Have you ever tried it?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

It’s not that Jiang Yan has never eaten it before, but his memories of traveling through time and space do not contain much about it. However, as an authentic Central Plains person in his previous life, he knows about this Henan cuisine.

Henan cuisine, also known as Henan Feast, is the Central Plains (Henan) cuisine. It is a general term for dishes, pastries and banquets made under the guidance of cooking theories with the connotation of the Central Plains traditional culture, using techniques and materials with the regional characteristics of the Central Plains. Yi Yin, known as the "ancestor of cooking" and "ancestor of Chinese chefs", was born in Henan (one says he was born in Yichuan, Luoyang, and another says he was born in Kongsang, Qi County, Kaifeng). Contemporary Henan cuisine is based on the original court cuisine, official cuisine, market cuisine and folk cuisine, and has gradually accumulated and evolved according to the material conditions of the Central Plains.

As a representative of the Central Plains culinary civilization, Henan cuisine has always adhered to the basic traditions of Chinese cuisine - "Zhong" and "He". "Zhong" means that Henan cuisine is neither east, west, south, nor north, but in the middle of east, west, south, and north; it is not sweet, salty, spicy, or sour, but seeks the middle, balance, and lightness between sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. "He" means integrating the east, west, south, and north into one, and cooking sweet, salty, sour, and spicy into one pot to seek one taste and one harmony.

After having a sumptuous meal, several people went to bed early. The next morning they went straight to the conference room to prepare for the meeting.

"Old Wu, how is the market in Zhongyuan now?"

"My dear bosses, our products are still the best in the mid-to-high-end market! Among the low-end products, only the instant noodles produced in Nanjie Village can compete with ours." Wu Yongfei said confidently.

"Old Wu, you are an old man, so you must not be careless. Although expanding territory is important, China is our base camp. In big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, instant noodles from Master Kong and Uni-President have already appeared and are grabbing our market. In a few years, Japanese brands will also impact our market, so we must defend it well! The Central Plains is the top priority." Jiang Yan said.
"Who, the Japanese? They want to challenge us?" Wu Yongfei said.

"Not only the Japanese, but Uni-President and Master Kong are Taiwanese companies." Xu Damao said.

"It's okay. We are not afraid even if they come. They really think that our development in the past few years is made of mud. CEOs, I will attack wherever you say, and I am ready at any time." Wu Yongfei said. "Now our country is changing with each passing day, and people are getting richer and richer. Slowly, instant noodles will become a common thing. But don't worry, your CEO He has developed a new flavor. Let's try to defeat them in one fell swoop."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, He Yuzhu who was sitting next to him felt a little depressed. These people were talking about him. Logically speaking, he was the head of Master He's instant noodles. These two guys were a bit overstepping their authority, but he didn't care.

"I have just developed a turkey noodle and a spicy noodle when I came to the headquarters this time, in preparation for opening up the Goryeo market. The chaebols have the final say there, so it is easy to open up. Some people are already in contact with them, and it is estimated that there will be feedback soon. In order to catch them off guard, the factory here is ready to start production, and then transport them to Qingdao, and then ship them out to sea from the port over there to Goryeo." He Yuzhu said.

"This time we are planning to open a ham sausage factory. The factory's tentative name is Sanhui."

Opening a ham sausage factory in Luohe was something Jiang Yan and his friends had already agreed to do. Jiang Yan was too lazy to think of a name for the factory and simply used the name of a famous meat factory in his previous life.

"The main person in charge of the government here was very happy when he heard that we were going to open another factory. He has been waiting for a long time. I can contact him and discuss it at any time when the time comes." Wu Yongfei said.

"Okay, then you can contact them and see what they think." He Yuzhu said immediately.

After the call was connected, the person in charge of the government here did not delay for a moment and quickly agreed on a time. Two hours later, they were ready to discuss the matter in the city government conference room. The top leader received us in person, which shows how much they value the investment. There was no way they could not attach importance to it. The instant noodle factory has expanded from the original three workshops to the current ten workshops. The number of workers has almost tripled. A number of markets have spontaneously formed around the factory, and there are countless people who come to eat there.

In addition, the factory never evades taxes and pays them on time every month. It also cooperates with the company in various ways and does not require many conditions. It is really hard to find such a good company, so they attach great importance to it.

Jiang Yan had no interest in how they negotiated. Instead, he changed into work clothes with his bodyguard and went to inspect the workshop to see if there was any unfairness or some people oppressing employees for the sake of production capacity.

Along the way, the workshop was very lively. Although it was not as lively as a vegetable market, there were a lot of people chatting on the assembly line. Everyone was gossiping about something, but the work in their hands was not slow at all.

As for correction, it was totally unnecessary. A relaxed working environment would improve efficiency a lot. However, Jiang Yan was curious about their treatment, which was something Jiang Yan repeatedly emphasized to them, so Jiang Yan came to the busiest production line.
