Chapter 1876 She's Going to Give Birth
However, when the women heard that they had to read the newspaper, several of them immediately took a step back: "We know a few words, but reading the newspaper is out of the question."
This tactic scared off quite a few unreasonable and argumentative sisters-in-law.
There were quite a few unemployed people in the family compound, and it only took an hour or so to recruit all thirty people. However, after discussing it, the two officers decided to recruit five more as substitutes.
Of course, this has been made clear to everyone.
However, Chu Xue knew that as long as the people she recruited were hardworking and reliable, they should be able to stay, since she planned to expand and strengthen this food workshop.
Chu Xue wrote a training document and gave it to the logistics department so that they could conduct onboarding training first. Of course, she also reminded the logistics department to sign a formula confidentiality agreement with the new employees.
The training materials not only outlined the workshop's rules and regulations but also highlighted the hygiene standards for food workshops, emphasizing that these were of paramount importance.
Finally, there are some basic safety tips for production.
Soldiers are all about speed; the workshop was ready in just two days.
Chu Xue personally went over to help for a few days, grouping everyone according to their strengths and then teaching them the production process step by step.
Standardized procedures were implemented for controlling the heat, quantity, and duration to ensure product consistency.
Everyone here is a master in the kitchen, and the women are naturally skilled at these things, so it only took them three days to get the hang of everything.
The five extra people we hired earlier have also stayed on. With the Lunar New Year approaching, we plan to have them make steamed rice cakes.
In addition to the traditional recipe for Caozi Gao (a type of steamed rice cake), Chuxue also specially made an improved version.
Traditional Caozigao (a type of steamed rice cake) has a high sugar content, making it cloyingly sweet.
Chuxue slightly modified the recipe, reducing the amount of white sugar and relying on the natural flavor of the eggs for enhancement. A small amount of cooked soybean oil was added to replace the heavy oil, reducing the greasiness. The consistency of the batter was also slightly adjusted, resulting in a soft and moist finished product with even air pockets. It has a rich egg flavor, a mild and not cloying sweetness, and doesn't become dry or choking even after cooling, making it suitable for all ages.
It has a much lighter taste than the old-fashioned sweet rice cake.
Before officially starting production, Chuxue met with several leaders from the logistics department and signed a contract with them, which stated that Chuxue would contribute its technology as equity, accounting for 20% of the net profit.
Chu Xue looked at the improved version of Caozi Gao on the table: "This improved Caozi Gao can only be used as a niche specialty to supplement the market at present, and cannot be the main product."
We can produce some first and send them over to see how they sell. When introducing them, be sure to clearly state that these are pastries specially made for people with sensitive stomachs or who don't like overly sweet foods.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Minister Qiao from the logistics department said, "Okay, we'll have the person in charge of business liaison tell them about it, so that people won't misunderstand that we cut corners."
After saying that, he smiled and looked at Chu Xue: "Comrade Xiao, thank you for your contributions to the logistics of the troops. The food workshop is now officially in operation, and the first batch of goods has been delivered to various department stores in the city. We are waiting for good news."
Before the good news arrived, she received a call from her brother-in-law: "What? You're going into labor?"
Qiu Shaofeng's tone was full of anxiety: "Yes, I'll take her to the hospital first."
Chu Xue didn't dare take up any more of his time: "Okay, I'll call Dad right now and tell Mom to go back and pack some things to take to the hospital. Where's Junjun?"
Qiu Shaofeng was very anxious and said quickly, "I've asked Junjun to stay with the neighbor. I'll hang up now."
Before Chu Xue could say anything more, Qiu Shaofeng had already hung up the phone.
Chu Xue glanced at the time and first made a phone call to Xiao's father.
After the call connected, Chu Xue quickly said, "Dad, my sister is about to give birth. I'll settle things at home and then head to the city. Please tell my mom to go over and help out."
