My courtyard shelter

As soon as he returned to the company, Father Xu received a call from Secretary Yao.

"Hello, Secretary Yao!"

"Director Xu, this call is mainly to inform you that Director Xiang of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will visit your company tomorrow. I hope you can prepare in advance."

"No problem, we will definitely do a good job in welcoming them." Dad Xu agreed immediately.

"One more thing. Mayor He is very interested in several special breads developed by your company. I hope you can continue your efforts and develop bread that can save food and taste good as soon as possible."

"I have written it down. Please tell Mayor He that we will complete the task."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye, Director Xu!"

"Secretary Yao, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Father Xu looked at his youngest son with strange eyes.

Xu Dong asked doubtfully: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Father Xu shook his head, "Mayor He was interested in your special bread recipes, and just now he specifically told me to continue researching them."

Xu Dong chuckled.

Mayor He's vision was indeed very forward, and he saw the true value of the bakery at a glance. Although it was unlikely that people would starve to death in Yanjing, the pressure on rations was not small.

Besides, now that the whole country is playing a game of chess, every penny saved in food is good. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a moderate political achievement.

No wonder Mayor He is so interested.

"What are you laughing at?" Father Xu said with disgust.

Xu Dong put away his smile and said seriously: "Dad, don't you still understand?"

"Your dad is not stupid. Isn't it because the situation is not optimistic? Will food become more and more scarce in the future?" Dad Xu said angrily.

"Dad, the situation is not pessimistic, it is very pessimistic. Life will be really hard in the future." Xu Dongyi pointed out.

Father Xu walked over and closed the office door, turned around and asked, "Isn't that right?"

"As for, we are the capital here after all, so the situation shouldn't be much worse. I'm afraid those inland cities will probably have to endure it." Xu Dong sighed.

"Alas, the good times haven't passed for a few years yet..."

Xu Dong quickly comforted him: "Dad, our family has enough supplies. I have stocked up more than 30,000 kilograms of meat alone. No matter how tight the food supply is, it will not affect our family."

"Huh? More than 30,000 kilograms...do we have it at home?"

In his warehouse, in addition to more than 10,000 kilograms of ham and bacon, the rest are dried seafood and tuna meat, which together only cost over 20,000.

Where did more than 30,000 kilograms come from?

"Uh!" He accidentally let it slip.

Xu Dong simply told everything: "I stocked up a batch of dried shrimps at Panjiayuan, there are about seven tons of them."

"What? Seven tons?" Father Xu was shocked.

Xu Dong nodded: "Yes, it is seven tons."

"Where did you get so many shrimps?"

"What I got last year was from Guangdong. Don't worry. It's been more than half a year and nothing has happened."

"What a nonsense. Why don't you discuss such a big matter with your family?" Father Xu scolded.

"I'm not afraid of scaring you. This opportunity is rare. It would be a pity to miss it." Xu Dong explained.

"It cost a lot of money, right? No, you may not be able to buy it even with money." Father Xu quickly realized.

Xu Dong casually made up: "I exchanged cigarettes and alcohol with the other party. Don't we have a lot of cigarettes and alcohol stored in our warehouse? Tobacco and alcohol cannot be used as food, and keeping them takes up space."

"Yes, the exchange is worth it." Father Xu kept nodding, and then asked: "What do you plan to do with this batch of shrimps?"

"Let's leave it for now. Anyway, this stuff has a long shelf life. If I find something good, I'll exchange it for dried shrimp." Xu Dong replied.

"That's a good idea. The shrimps must be preserved and don't spoil things."

Xu Dong nodded.

"Dad, aren't you going to hold an annual party? Do you want me to bring out a batch of dried shrimps to give everyone some benefits?"

After all, it is your own company. The more you pay now, the more you will earn in the future.

"How much do you want to take out?" Father Xu was moved.

"How about five hundred catties? Half of it will be allocated to the management, and five hundred outstanding employees will be selected, and each person will be given half a catty. This way no one will suffer."

"Is it too high-profile?" Father Xu was a little worried.

"It's okay. Let's arrange the annual meeting before the Chinese New Year. By then, all companies will be giving out benefits, so our side won't be too conspicuous.

Besides, regarding the bakery, we and the city are in the honeymoon period now, so no one will care about some rumors. "

To be honest, the reason why Xu Dong values ​​​​the bakery is because he wants to be related to the above. Although the bakery does not make much money, the influence is there, and this cannot be faked.

As the saying goes, win wherever the people want!

Father Xu thought for a while and found that what his son said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

…

The next day, Director Xiang and his party arrived as scheduled.

After some procedures, Father Xu took Director Xiang to visit the bread workshop, which was also the most important purpose of Director Xiang’s trip.

"Director Xiang, this is our company's self-built bread workshop. It currently has a total of 18 employees and can produce about 30,000 loaves of bread every day."

Master Ji picked up a loaf of freshly baked bread and stretched it out in front of Director Xiang: "Director Xiang, the bread has just been baked, do you want to have a taste?"

"Well, it smells good, so I'm welcome." Director Xiang smiled and took the bread.

Father Xu picked up a few loaves of bread and distributed them to the entourage at the scene. For a while, there was the sound of chewing everywhere.

"Not bad, not bad, it tastes pretty good."

Director Xiang nodded repeatedly. This bread was much better than he expected, and it was sold so cheaply. No wonder Mayor He valued it so much.

Master Ji took out a new loaf of bread and introduced: "Director Xiang, this is the vegetable bread we have just successfully developed. Minced vegetables are added to it to make it more nutritious."

As the supply of vegetables in urban areas increases, it is inevitable that Master Ji and others will also keep pace with the times. Moreover, vegetable bread has another advantage, that is, it is not prone to constipation and is more suitable for the elderly and children.

"Really? Let me give it a try. Your research and development speed is very fast!" Director Xiang took the bread again.

Overall, the vegetable bread has a softer texture, but there is not much difference in taste.

"Director Xiang, how does it taste?" Father Xu asked with a smile. Manager Ji and others worked overtime last night for these vegetable breads.

Director Xiang nodded: "This one tastes better, softer, and a little sweeter. By the way, what kind of vegetables are in it?"

"It's mainly Chinese cabbage, green peppers and leeks. The sweetness is due to the addition of tomato sauce." Master Ji replied immediately.

"No wonder, this kind of bread with ketchup is definitely more popular among children." Director Xiang laughed.

"Director Xiang, thank you very much. We have specially developed this bread for children. Many parents have reported to us that their children's teeth have bled from chewing bread for a long time."

Father Xu explained.
