My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 274 Vegetable Bread
As soon as he returned to the company, Father Xu received a call from Secretary Yao.

"Hello, Secretary Yao!"

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

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

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

"I've made a note, please tell Mayor He, we will definitely complete the task."

"Okay, then I won't bother you, see you, Dong Xu!"

"Secretary Yao, goodbye!"

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

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

"It's nothing!" Dad Xu shook his head, "Mayor He has taken a fancy to your special bread recipes, and he told me just now that we should continue to study them."

Xu Dong chuckled.

Mayor He's foresight was indeed very advanced, and he could see the true value of the bakery at a glance. Although it was unlikely that people would starve to death on Yanjing's side, the ration pressure was not small.

Besides, the whole country is now playing a game of chess, and every penny of food saved is a good thing. Speaking of it, this can be regarded as a small political achievement.

No wonder Mayor He is so caring.

"What are you laughing at?" Father Xu said "disgustingly".

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

"Your father is not stupid, isn't it just that the situation is not optimistic, will food become more and more scarce in the future?" Xu's father said angrily.

"Dad, it's not that the situation is not optimistic, it's very pessimistic. We're going to have a really hard time in the future." Xu Dong pointed out.

Dad Xu walked over to close the door of the office, then turned around and asked, "Isn't it?"

"As for, but we are the capital after all, so the situation shouldn't be too bad. I'm afraid that those inland cities will probably suffer." Xu Dong sighed.

"Oh, the good days haven't passed for a few years..."

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

"Huh? more than 30,000 catties...Do we have any at home?"

In my own warehouse, apart from more than 10,000 catties of ham and bacon, the rest are those dried seafood and tuna meat, which together are only in the early [-].

Where did more than 30,000 catties come from?

"Uh!" Accidentally slipped my mouth.

Xu Dong simply revealed the whole thing: "I stockpiled a batch of dried shrimp at Panjiayuan, and there are about seven tons left."

"What? Seven tons?" Dad Xu was greatly shocked.

Xu Dong nodded: "That's right, it's seven tons."

"Where did you get so many shrimps?"

"The ones I got last year came from Guangdong Province. Don't worry, it's been half a year and nothing happened."

"Nonsense, you don't discuss such a big matter with your family." Dad Xu blamed.

"Aren't I afraid to scare you, the opportunity is rare, it would be a pity to miss it." Xu Dong explained.

"You spent a lot of money, right? No, you may not be able to buy it even if you spend money." Father Xu quickly realized.

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

"That's right, it's worth the exchange." Father Xu kept nodding, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do with this batch of shrimp?"

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

"It's a good idea. The shrimp must be preserved, so as not to spoil things."

Xu Dong nodded.

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

After all, it is my own company, the more I pay now, the more I will earn in the future.

"How much do you want to give?" Dad Xu was moved.

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

"Will it be too high-profile?" Dad Xu was a little worried.

"It's okay, arrange the annual meeting before the Chinese New Year, when all the companies will be giving benefits, our side will not be too conspicuous.

Besides, regarding the bakery, we and the city are in the honeymoon period now, and no one will care about a little gossip. "

To be honest, the reason why Xu Dong valued the bakery was because he wanted to have a relationship with the higher-ups. Although the bakery didn't make much money, its influence was there, so it couldn't be faked.

As the saying goes, what the people want is what wins!

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

……

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

After some procedures, Dad Xu took Director Xiang to visit the bakery workshop, which is also the most important purpose of Director Xiang's trip.

"Director Xiang, this is our company's self-built bread workshop. There are currently 18 employees in total, and it can produce about 3 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 just came out of the oven, would you like to taste it?"

"Well, it smells good, so I won't be polite." Chief Xiang took the bread with a smile.

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

"Not bad, not bad, the taste is quite good."

Director Xiang nodded again and again. This bread is much better than he imagined, and it is sold so cheaply. No wonder Mayor He attaches great importance to it.

Master Ji took out a new loaf of bread and introduced it: "Director Xiang, this is the vegetable bread we have just successfully developed. It has minced vegetables in it, which makes the nutrition more balanced."

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

"Really? Let me 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?" Dad Xu asked with a smile. For these vegetable breads, Manager Ji and others worked overtime last night.

Director Xiang nodded: "This tastes better, softer, and a little sweeter. By the way, what 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 tomato sauce is definitely more popular with children." Director Xiang laughed loudly.

"Director Xiang, you are very kind, this bread is specially developed for children. Many parents have reported to us that their children's teeth are bleeding from chewing bread for a long time."

Father Xu explained.
