Chapter 177 Beef Jerky and Beef Sauce
Hu Zhibin knocked on the door and walked into the office.
Ji Sisi's office is already a separate room. Now the Huaihua Food Factory is almost complete, and each department has a separate office.
It’s just that the leadership team has not yet been established.
There were three bottles of beef sauce on Ji Sisi's desk, all of which were the result of Li Hongying's hard work during this period.
She developed three flavors of beef sauce: braised, five-spice, and spicy beef and mushroom sauce, a total of three flavors.
Hu Zhibin smelled the aroma as soon as he entered the door, "Why did you bring so much sauce from home?"
Next to the sauce there are multi-grain steamed buns and hand-rolled noodles, all prepared for tasting.
Ji Sisi, "After washing your hands, take a steamed bun and try it. Chopsticks are also available."
There was water for washing hands ready on the washbasin rack next to him. Hu Zhibin didn't hesitate to wash his hands and sat down to break a steamed bun into two pieces.
He picked up some beef paste with chopsticks and put it on the steamed bun, then he put the buns together and took a bite.
After chewing it for just two bites, Hu Zhibin widened his eyes and looked at the steamed bun in his hand in surprise.
He swallowed it hastily, "How is this sauce made? It tastes good."
The remaining aroma of the meat sauce still lingered in his mouth, and Hu Zhibin took another bite, still unsatisfied.
Ji Sisi took out the notebook she had prepared and analyzed that there was still a lot of miscellaneous meat left, which could be made into beef sauce and beef jerky.
Two new products were added at once.
“What is beef jerky?”
Ji Sisi smiled and said, "Just chop up all the beef, add seasonings and flatten it to form a very thin slice of meat, then bake it in the oven. It tastes good. You can try it when it's done."
"What you just ate is the beef sauce I mentioned. There are two more flavors. Do you want to try it?"
While Ji Sisi was speaking, Hu Zhibin had already started eating.
After trying the three flavors, Hu Zhibin gave serious comments.
"The braised and spicy ones are good. People here like spicy food and strong flavors. I don't think this five-spice one will work. It's a bit bland."
Ji Sisi wrote down the key points and said, "Okay, let's just make these two flavors for now. I'll go to the machinery factory in the county this afternoon to see if I can make the machine."
"I'll go with you. Master Shi is here too, and Manager Yang also needs to deliver some goods."
Ji Sisi closed the notebook and said, "After delivering the goods, come with me to the printing factory to pick up the packaging bags I ordered last time. I have negotiated with Manager Yang. How much is the price?"
"Six dollars and two cents. I thought he would refuse, but he finally agreed."
Two more cents, the price is not low.
Ji Sisi nodded and said, "You go down first. I need to go out for a while."
"It's almost time for dinner, what are you going out for now?"
"I won't have lunch. I'm going to the commune." Last night a new contact person brought news to her, asking her to go to the commune this afternoon.
Ji Sisi stood up and walked out. "Take this beef sauce to the cafeteria and let everyone try it. Don't tell us it's a new product yet. Let's see how the feedback is. I'll ask you for the results this afternoon."
Hu Zhibin tightened the can and carried it out carefully.
Master Shi had eaten in the cafeteria early in the morning and was waiting at the door.
"Manager Ji, how is the female comrade who gave birth last time doing now?"
"The child is recovering well. Apart from a little jaundice, he is fine. I heard that he will be able to go home from the hospital tomorrow."
I heard this from Li Hongying last night.
"That's good." Master Shi was relieved.
It is said that Guo Xiaolan's parents are on their way to visit. Fang Shiming has not responded yet, and it seems that there has been no news from there for half a month.
I didn't receive Qi Yan's letter when I went back this time.
The road was bumpy and the car was bumping along. Ji Sisi subconsciously protected her stomach, worried about Qi Yan.
-
Sophora japonica Commune.
"Master Shi, I'll find you a place to rest. You can take a nap. You still have to go to the county this afternoon. Thank you for your hard work."
Ji Sisi walked in front. She remembered that there were two empty rooms in the commune, which were the first meeting rooms.
Huang Qiaomei had just returned from the cafeteria. "Sisi, why are you here in the middle of the day? Have you eaten?"
"The director wants to talk to me about something, but I haven't done it yet. I ate late this morning, so I'm not hungry."
While Huang Qiaomei was there, Ji Sisi asked, "By the way, Sister Qiaomei, I remember if there is an empty room in our commune where our driver can rest for a while. He has to continue driving to transport goods in the afternoon, and I am worried about driving fatigue."
Huang Qiaomei immediately knew which room Ji Sisi was asking about.
"Yes, it happens that the tables over there have just been cleaned. I'll take him there. You go upstairs and find Director Yan first."
Final nodded, "Okay, thank you for troubling my sister-in-law."
Master Shi followed Huang Qiaomei, and Ji Sisi went to Director Yan's office.
The office door was open and Director Yan was lying on the table resting. After not seeing him for a while, the hair on his head had become gradually thinner.
Ji Sisi was still hesitating whether to knock on the door to interrupt Director Yan's break.
"Manager Ji, you're here. Why don't you come in? The director is inside!" The liaison officer who came to inform us of the news yesterday spoke in a loud voice that echoed throughout the corridor.
Director Yan was awakened from his sleep when he heard the sound.
Seeing Ji Sisi standing at the door, he hurriedly took the glasses next to him and put them on, "Come in, come in, why don't you knock when you come?"
Ji Sisi had no choice but to go into the house.
"Director Yan, is there something you want to tell me this time?"
Director Yan was still asleep, and he used to look serious, but now he looked a little confused.
"Yes, there is something. Secretary Lin asked me to ask you when you are free to visit the county committee."
"Meet County Magistrate Wei?"
Director Yan shook his head, "No, I heard from Director Zhou that he wanted to hold an experience meeting to help other communes and see if there are any opportunities for development in other communes."
"They said your proposal was the standard template. County Magistrate Wei was annoyed by the nagging and got quite angry. He told them that if they really wanted to do it, they should come to you to review the proposal before submitting it."
Ji Sisi felt overwhelmed after listening to this. Wasn't this something that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau should be responsible for? Why was it being handed over to the county magistrate?
"Director, I'm afraid I can't go. I'm already busy enough with the factory's affairs. If I go to help them look at the proposal, I'll have to be split into two people. Besides, I'm pregnant now."
Director Yan then noticed Ji Sisi's belly, which was indeed much bigger than the last time he saw her.
"Then I'll try to help you turn it down, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to get from Secretary Lin."
"I'll call Secretary Lin later to explain the situation. I came to the company before lunch today. In the afternoon, I have to rush to the machinery factory to order machines, and then go to the printing factory to pick up the goods."
Ji Sisi spread her hands and said, "I really can't get away."
"This……"
After listening to this, Director Yan felt that Ji Sisi was even busier than him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of this matter. If it really doesn't work, I will come to help them, so that people won't point fingers at you and accuse you of being snobbish."
