My courtyard shelter

In the blink of an eye, Li Yanyi has been working in the new company for a full week, and her family has adapted to the work and life rhythm here.

Although it is not as good as the power company, at least this job is stable and the place to live is not bad. In short, she is very satisfied.

As usual, Li Yanyi and her three children got up before seven o'clock in the morning. There are only three people like her who do odd jobs in the whole canteen.

There are many things to do, so you have to be diligent.

After getting up, Li Yanyi used a rice cooker to steam three big potatoes for the children as breakfast, and she drank two large bowls of water to fill her stomach.

After breakfast, the first thing to do is to boil water.

Dad Xu is still relatively frugal. Don't think about bottled water. He can't afford to spend this money.

After work, it is the peak water consumption period. The three of them boiled more than 20 barrels of water, and this is only the amount used in the morning.

More than 20 barrels of water were delivered to various offices upstairs with a cart, and the morning work ended.

Next, they had to go to the office to collect lunch boxes, and collected more than 2,000 lunch boxes in total.

Before 11 a.m., the canteen had to heat up all the lunch boxes, and then at lunch time, most employees would come to pick up their meals and eat.

Fortunately, they didn't need to wash the dishes after lunch, and the company didn't have so much water to waste.

After lunch, the three of them boiled water again.

After delivering the water, the other two aunts who did odd jobs clocked out directly, after all, the main work in the canteen was done.

As for Li Yanyi, she only needed to heat up the meals for a small number of people in the evening and at night, and the rest of the time was free.

But she didn't waste this time.

In the kitchen, the company recently set up a bakery and hired three chefs. Whenever she had free time, Li Yanyi would go over to help out.

There are also benefits to helping out in the bakery.

First, she can learn skills. After all, the salary of bakers is two or three times higher than hers, and she also wants to make more money;

Second, the bakery is doing some experiments recently, and there are often leftover breads. She can take four or five loaves every time she comes back, and the children like to eat them very much.

It’s just that today, the bakery is a little lively, even Director Xu and General Manager Ye came in person.

…

In the afternoon, Xu’s father was working in the office.

Suddenly, he received a call saying that the bakery had developed a baguette, so he immediately called Ye Hui, and the two went to the kitchen to check the results together.

“Master Ji, is this the baguette you developed?” Ye Hui asked casually, picking up a piece of bread.

These breads are indeed shaped like long sticks, no wonder they are called baguettes. They are dark in color, with four cracks on the front, and are about the same length as an adult’s forearm, but thicker than the forearm.

Master Ji is the chief technician of the bakery. Before that, he was the owner of a small bakery himself. He has more than 30 years of experience in the industry and is well-known in the surrounding areas.

"That's right. According to Mr. Xu's request, we adjusted the raw material ratio of ordinary bread and added corn flour, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, wheat bran and tofu dregs. After several experiments, we finally lived up to expectations this time."

"How does it taste?" asked Xu's father.

Master Ji smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to describe the taste. Anyway, we have tried our best. To be honest, there is not much room for improvement."

"Mr. Xu, let's try it together?"

Ye Hui tore the baguette in the middle and handed half of it to Mr. Xu.

Dad Xu nodded and took the bread.

"Mr. Xu, the bread is a little hard. Please chew slowly. Xiao Li, go and pour a glass of water for Mr. Xu." Master Ji hurriedly ordered.

The big boss is not young anymore, and his teeth must not be very good. If his teeth are broken, how can he find such a good job again?

"Yes." Li Yanyi immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Mr. Xu.

"Thank you." Mr. Xu said with a smile.

While talking, Ye Hui had already taken a bite of the bread. To be honest, her first impression was that it was really not very good. The bread was dry and tough, and there was no sweetness. This was the worst bread she had ever eaten.

Dad Xu had the same feeling. He couldn't swallow a bite of bread without drinking water.

"Master Ji, how heavy is this loaf of bread?"

"No more, no less, just half a pound."

Master Ji continued to introduce: "We have done experiments. A strong adult only needs two baguettes a day to meet the daily needs of the whole day.

For the elderly and children, one baguette is enough. The sense of fullness is very strong. It is much more economical than simply eating potatoes or sweet potatoes, and it is also more friendly to the stomach."

Ye Hui thought for a while and asked:

"What about the cost? How much raw materials are needed for such a loaf of bread?"

"All the raw materials add up to about 200 grams, including 50 grams of flour, and the rest are various other ingredients." Master Ji replied.

"How much tofu dregs and wheat bran are there?" Dad Xu asked specifically.

"Tofu dregs and wheat bran 30 grams each, the remaining corn flour 15 grams, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes a total of 75 grams."

Dad Xu touched his chin and asked: "Then how do you plan to exchange?"

"Mr. Xu, after deducting all costs, we think one pound of flour can be exchanged for four loaves of bread, corn flour for three loaves, and potatoes and sweet potatoes can be exchanged in a one-to-one ratio. This is more suitable and the most convenient exchange."

"How much profit can the canteen make?" Ye Hui asked directly.

"We roughly estimated that for every 100 loaves of bread sold, the canteen can have a surplus of 5 loaves of bread, and the profit margin is about 5%.

Of course, according to your zero profit requirement, Mr. Xu, after deducting our wages and other raw materials, there is actually almost no real profit left.

Sometimes there will be a slight loss, but these losses are all cash expenditures. As for food, it will not lose money anyway."

Dad Xu looked at Ye Hui and explained: "Mr. Ye, I run this bakery and I don't plan to make money from my employees. Everyone's life is not easy."

"Mr. Xu, I understand."

Ye Hui nodded. She herself is also a worker, and no one wants to have a stingy boss above them.

"Master Ji, if you are fully productive, how many loaves of bread can you make a day now?" Dad Xu thought for a while and asked.

"If there are enough raw materials, two thousand loaves a day is no problem."

Master Ji looks confident, mainly because baguettes are simple to make and there are not so many fancy things in the production process.

Dad Xu nodded: "Okay, before noon tomorrow, you should prepare 200 loaves of bread and see how everyone reacts."

Speaking of which, the raw materials for making bread were all delivered by Xu Dong himself, including 300 kilograms of flour and 500 kilograms of grains, in addition to 200 kilograms of tofu dregs and wheat bran.

He knew that the baguette would be very popular, and these were at most advance investments. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice.
