Chapter 181

The beginning of May meant that the summer harvesting time was about to arrive. Wu Jin wanted to organize the villagers to start preparing for harvesting. The food in the field was the lifeline of the entire country’s people, so he couldn’t be sloppy. During this period of time, the industrial chain was handed over to Yu Bing to handle.

Work in the orchards wasn’t very busy now. Yu Bing even specifically transferred half of the people from every orchard to the fields to help.

Yu Bing went to the county’s flour factory and supply company to discuss buying on credit. In the end, Yu Bing successfully obtained the raw materials by paying half the deposit and settling the balance within two months.

The milk was obtained through Wu Jin’s military connections. The other party agreed to let them pay on credit, but the payment would be settled in full in February. Mr. Wei was dissatisfied with the results of the negotiation.

!!

Mr. Wei took the money out of the safe and counted it with heartache. “Miss Yu, you were only given a two-month grace period after giving a 50% deposit. You must have been scammed. The village chief gave me too little!”

When Yu Bing heard this, she immediately looked at Mr. Wei helplessly. “Mr. Wei, you can’t blame me for this. Our village chief is already famous for buying things on credit. Seeing that there are so many other creditors, all of them are afraid that they won’t be able to get their money back. I was only able to negotiate a 50% deposit and a two-month grace period!”

When Mr. Wei heard this, he had no reason to complain anymore.

The last 300 bottles of jam from the previous batch were sold wholesale, but the final profit reached 7,350.8 yuan. However, only a few days later, 1,000 yuan was paid.

Thinking about how he still had to pay back a portion of the money to the various manufacturers, because this was what Yu Bing had promised when she accepted the order, Mr. Wei felt a headache coming on. He placed the money on the table and turned his head away. Out of sight, out of mind!

Seeing this, Yu Bing comforted him. “Mr. Wei, don’t worry. After the goods are delivered, the money will come back immediately.”

Mr. Wei pursed his lips and nodded.

Yu Bing first taught the five chefs the simplest way to make waffles, then specifically found a blacksmith to make a mold with an iron plate. At this moment, they had yet to develop a mold that didn’t stick to the pot. They could only rely on the cooking skills of the chefs. If the time was too long, the food might get burnt. If the time was too short, the taste would be off. In any case, they had to control the timing well. Otherwise, the pancake would be ruined.

In order to perk everyone up, Yu Bing made a request. “Attention, chefs. Only three flawed pancakes are allowed every day. As for the rest, you’ll have to pay for them yourselves.”

Everyone immediately became nervous. The ordinary workers asked curiously, “Miss Yu, how much does each pancake cost?”

Yu Bing smiled and said, “0.05 yuan each! The staff price is 0.04 yuan each.”

“It’s so expensive!”

“There’s flour, eggs, white sugar, and milk in these pancakes. Of course these pancakes are very expensive.”

“I can’t bear to eat it!”

“It smells extremely delicious and these are all good ingredients. In any case, I have to eat one after I get my salary. These raw materials are all very nutritious.”

Everyone discussed it, but after they started working, everyone was on high alert, since they were afraid that something would go wrong with the pancakes.

If they made one additional mistake, they might feel happy after eating the pancake. However, if they made a few more mistakes, they would probably be scolded by their families when they returned home. Who would lose so much money while working?!

Yu Bing asked everyone to produce 1,000 first, then got someone to send 300 to the supply company and 200 to the restaurant. Yu Bing had gotten these orders when she went to the county city to get the goods. The remaining 500 were naturally sent through Xiao Sheng’s channels.

Waffles were a foreign delicacy. How could people in a small county city have seen these Western desserts before? The outer shell was crispy, but the inside was soft. It had a milky sweet taste.

As soon as waffles were introduced in the small county, their reputation immediately spread throughout the factory.

0.05 yuan was indeed a lot for the villagers, but for families in the county city, buying it a few times a month to satisfy their cravings wasn’t difficult.
