Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 143 Join the Canning Research Group
When Su Qingfeng heard Zhang Limin's ridicule, he was not embarrassed and said openly, "I am good at my craftsmanship and I am praised by others. Isn't that what I should do?"

Zhang Limin was stunned by his words and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, everyone knew that this was just a joke. The two of them laughed and followed the guidance of the people next to them and came to the workshop of the food factory.

As soon as he entered the workshop, Su Qingfeng could smell a strong sweet aroma.

Looking around, you can see a bunch of master craftsmen surrounding a cherry can, studying there.

Su Qingfeng walked closer, took a look, and saw an acquaintance.

"Master Fang, why did you come to our Honggang Town?"

Fang Jidong was originally thinking about how to improve the taste of canned cherries, but he didn't expect that a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

He turned his head and saw Su Qingfeng. His serious expression relaxed slightly, and he actually smiled: "What a coincidence. Is this why you came to the food factory?"

As soon as these words came out, the other masters looked at Su Qingfeng warily.

They have no ill feelings towards Su Qingfeng, but if Su Qingfeng wants to participate in the research and development of this can, he might take away the technical consultant position promised by the food factory.

As a technical consultant, there is almost nothing to do when the food factory reaches the later stage of canned research and development. It is purely a name, some added benefits, and a salary by the way.

For them, this is simply pie in the sky. Can they seize this opportunity?

Who would complain that there are too many tickets?
Xu Zheng was a little surprised when he heard Fang Jidong's voice.

Because in his memory, Fang Jidong was considered a rare fourth-level chef in the provincial capital. He easily stopped cooking. Even if he did, it was equivalent to the kind of person who opened a small stove for leaders, not like those big stoves in state-owned restaurants. Not only did he cook every day At work, it is difficult to get in touch with leaders in high positions.

Although Xu Zheng is the director of a large state-owned factory, this title sounds powerful.

In fact, he may not know as many leaders as Fang Jidong does.

They are all people who don't show off their integrity and make a fortune in silence.

But then again, who could be the person who can make Fang Jidong show his strange colors?

He couldn't hold back his curiosity. He turned around and saw that familiar face. Against the backdrop of these masters around him, he looked incredibly young.

Xu Zheng was unexpected, but at the same time, he felt it was natural.

He had also tasted Su Qingfeng's craftsmanship that day.

Although what I ate was leftovers, the taste was not bad at all compared to other master chefs.

Not to mention that Su Qingfeng is indeed talented in seasoning.

Xu Zhengsheng had a glimmer of hope for his arrival.

He nodded slightly at Su Qingfeng and showed a faint smile, "Little comrade, what do you have to say about these cans?"

A question mark rose in Zhang Limin's heart, and he turned his head to look at Su Qingfeng. Even if Su Qingfeng didn't look at his face, he could feel the confusion in Zhang Limin's heart.

Little brother, what's going on?

Brother takes you to meet the leaders of the county town, and you fucking know the leaders of the provincial town.

You kid... you're good enough.

Facing Xu Zheng's invitation, Su Qingfeng did not show any timidity, but stepped forward and took a bite of the canned cherry under Fang Jidong's special care.

The first time he took a bite, it felt...sweet.

But these days, everyone likes sweet things.

Even if it is exporting foreign exchange, most foreigners like this kind of sweetness.

He took a sip and put it down. To be honest, apart from Su Qingfeng's personal taste, this canned cherry tasted really good.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Fang Jidong asked, "What do you think?"

Su Qingfeng nodded, "Actually, I think it's pretty good, mainly because..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a woman coming out from beside him and sneered: "Okay, he is a country cook after all. He doesn't know much. I'm afraid he doesn't even know what a cherry is. What kind of evaluation can this say? Come?"

When Su Qingfeng saw it, he immediately became happy.

Isn't this my old acquaintance Liya?

He didn't want to spoil this woman. Damn it, he had just said a few words, and yet he was scolded like this. No matter how good-tempered he was, he was not like a clay figure who could be manipulated by others.

He immediately asked: "Does this aunt know how to cook? Has she ever touched the stove or the iron pot? The three children were not fed well before and they were so hungry that they screamed. I just said a few words now, and you can Are you questioning me like that?"

"It's okay for us masters to question each other, but why do you do it? Just because you're thick-skinned? You can pull me down. Don't use the guy you usually make fun of to compete with my skills."

Liya was almost annoyed.

She has been pampered by her family since she was a child, so she has a somewhat coquettish personality. Even Li Ran, the youngest in the family, sometimes has to give in to her sister. After getting married, except for a few stepsons and stepdaughters, she is a bit troublesome. , Lao Xu also let her go the rest of the time.

But after meeting Su Qingfeng, she was always slapped in the face.

Su Qingfeng just said that about him, and the other masters didn't smooth things over.

In fact, they have tolerated this woman for a long time. They look down on Honggang Town, don't understand anything, and are still pointing fingers.

Speaking of which, Comrade Xiao Su was really unjustly accused.

Seeing that the others were a little aggrieved, Xu Zheng felt a headache. He turned his head, looked at Liya, and spoke with a suppressed temper, "It's none of your business here. You can go take care of the children outside first."

Hearing what Xu Zhengdu said, Liya couldn't hold her breath.

She waved her hand and walked away. At the end, she said, "At your level, you are not as good as a provincial food factory. Why do you still want to export?"

After saying that, a voice sounded outside: "Stepmother is here, run quickly!!!"

Liya was furious and wanted to rush forward, but because she was too impulsive and didn't pay attention to her steps, she tripped and fell.

She only heard a scream, her original small leather heel was broken, and her face was scratched, looking extremely embarrassed.

For a moment, many masters who had been tortured by Liya before felt refreshed.

Should!
Seeing Liya in such a mess, a group of masters originally wanted to target Su Qingfeng, but now they all looked at him much kinder.

Everyone was happy, only Xu Zheng was a little tired.

He realized that this was work, forced himself to put aside these emotions, and then returned to the topic.

"This canned cherry actually tastes pretty good, but one thing is that we have cherries grown in the three eastern provinces. To be honest, the scale of cherry planting is still greater in Liaoning Province, so it may not have that many advantages. , we can only improve the taste." As the director of a large factory in the provincial capital, Xu Zheng is relatively rational when it is not involved in a mess of housework.

Regarding his words, Fang Jidong also nodded slightly and agreed: "Our food factory in Honggang Town is not large in scale. If we want to export and obtain foreign exchange, we may have to think of a way."

Mind?

After all this, it’s just canned fruit, what’s the point?
At this moment, Fang Jidong suddenly asked a question: "Su Qingfeng, what do you think?"

Even Zhang Limin, who didn't know how to do it, was a little nervous when he asked this question.

A master who is more senior than Su Qingfeng can say anything. How can Su Qingfeng think of anything at such a young age?

Su Qingfeng pondered for a moment, recalled the information he had searched for when making short food videos, and slowly spoke:
"In the 50s, my country began exporting to the outside world. At that time, it exported more than ten varieties of canned pigs, cattle, sheep, poultry, fruits, vegetables, etc. to the Soviet Union, including canned steamed pork, canned steamed mutton, etc. "

"When exporting to Suzhou, we also exported canned fish to Luo, such as carp in tomato sauce, eel in tomato sauce, and silver carp in tomato sauce. If domestic demand is insufficient, we export. In fact, we already have a lot of experience, and we don't need to focus solely on it. Locked in daily canned fruit.”

"Moreover, although we must always be humble during this process, we must also have strong confidence in our own nation's food culture."

Su Qingfeng's words were not nonsense.

At this time, many people abroad are still eating canned herring. Su Qingfeng is thinking, no matter what, the canned food he makes will taste better than canned herring... right?

Su Qingfeng's words opened up a new way of thinking for the leaders and masters present.

Yes, so many food factories now make canned fruits.

However, Honggang Town has a weak foundation. There is no so-called secret recipe, and it is not an old brand. At most, it has a little more raw materials and does not have much advantage. It can be sold domestically, but exporting is not that simple.

In this case, it is better to think from another angle like Su Qingfeng.

What if... instead of canned fruit, we canned meat?

There is a door to this matter.

Whether it was the director of the Honggang Town Food Factory or Xu Zheng, their eyes lit up after hearing this.

They were all limited by their thinking, and they did not think for a moment that Su Qingfeng, a young man with courage, would think of this.

But what followed was fierce exchanges and rebuttals.

Some people think that canning meat is expensive and requires various processes.

When they first exported canned Suzhou meat, their experts came over to inspect the environment of the pig factories. If the environment of the pig factories did not meet the standards, they could not be used as raw materials for the production of cans.

In the end, the local government carried out various surprise rectifications to meet their requirements.

While it's not that complicated these days, canning meat is more expensive and risky than canning fruit, but again, if successful, the return rate is higher.

After a protracted debate, seeing that no results could be obtained today, Xu Zheng simply waved his hand and divided them into two groups according to everyone's wishes. One group was still studying canned fruits, and the other group was studying canned meat.

Su Qingfeng looked at his group. There was Fang Jidong, himself, and a chubby master with a bun face.

When the master saw Su Qingfeng looking over, he winked at him childlikely, "Comrade Xiao Su, my name is Xie Baolu. Just call me Brother Xie."

Su Qingfeng took one look at Brother Xie's body shape and felt relieved. It seemed that this man was a good eater, maybe even a gourmet, so he could just let him try it out.

Seeing this, he smiled and called "Brother Xie".

Brother Xie was quite happy and took out a small package of something from his pocket. Su Qingfeng took a closer look and saw that it was preserved fruit.

Xie Baolu was so enthusiastic that he almost forced Su Qingfeng to have a taste.

Before Su Qingfeng had time to sigh, there are still many good people in this world, he was stimulated by the sour taste in his mouth, and his facial features were twisted together.

Fuck the good guys.

Sure enough, there are still many bad people in this world!
Seeing Su Qingfeng like this, as if the prank had succeeded, Xie Baolu burst out laughing, and even his white face began to tremble.

In the end, Fang Jidong couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Xie Baolu, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Xie Baolu had to listen to Fang Jidong's words.

They discussed the canned matter for a long time, and suddenly Fang Jidong said, "Xiao Su, when I came to town, I heard that your skill in making braised pork is excellent."

This is simply clear.

"Then let's try making braised pork?"

Xie Baolu frowned, "Isn't it too late to do it now? It's already this point."

As he said that, he revealed a dial on the watch on his hand. When Su Qingfeng took a look, it was true.

He thought about it for a while and soon had an idea in his mind.

"Thank you, Master. Master Fang, how about... let's go home? It just so happens that the guest house in the town can't accommodate so many people. You can also come to my house to sleep at night."

Xie Baolu and Fang Jidong were a little moved, but more hesitant.

The two of them also came from hard times, so naturally they would not dislike the mud houses in the countryside, but what they were afraid of was that having two grown men stay at Su Qingfeng's house would cause trouble for them.

It would be too embarrassing if there were not enough rooms.

Su Qingfeng saw what he was hesitating about, and immediately smiled and said, "My family has just built a house, but there will be a hotpot dinner in two days. Let's sleep in the old house, which is also a blue brick house with a hot stove and a heated bed. It’s not as good as the dormitories in the factory, but it’s still lively. It depends on where you want to go.”

Because of that lively sentence, the balance in Fang Jidong's heart completely tilted towards Su Qingfeng's side.

When people get older, they always want to be more lively. Although Fang Jidong is not an old person, when people reach middle age, their thoughts will always change.

I heard him say, "Okay, I'll bother you then."

Fang Jidong had already said this, and Xie Baolu happened to be interested in Su Qingfeng's hometown, so he agreed smoothly.

A few people were discussing the possibility of canned braised pork, and were preparing to see if there was any good pork belly. Today they would try Su Qingfeng's level first.

The three of them slipped away leisurely, and the group with the remaining canned fruits was a little confused.

No, everyone has gone off work, and they are still here rushing to work. It's strange that they are in a good mood.

And everyone thinks that canned meat is unlikely, but Fang Jidong's name is resounding in the provincial capital.

With him taking action this time, and Su Qingfeng, a dark horse who has suddenly emerged, what will be the result... everyone really doesn't know.
