Chapter 183 - 183 Recruiting Again
Yu Bing immediately arranged for Feng Cai to go to the printing plant to discuss the price. Although Feng Cai was the chief of the sales department, the factory’s capital chain was so tight now. Everyone had many jobs.
Then, the factory began to arrange for the production of Snowflake Crisp and egg yolk pastries. These two types were specialties from the same place and came from a province surrounded by the sea.
The difference between Snowflake Crisp and ordinary desserts was that Snowflake Crisp was especially chewy. Delicious cream was wrapped in peanuts, biscuits, almonds, dried cranberries, and other foods. The texture of the cream could also be felt by the combination of the softness of the cream and the crispness of the various nut biscuits. Because she didn’t get cotton candy, Yu Bing could only create this taste in another way.
The texture of the egg yolk pastry had clear layers. The outermost layer was crispy golden-yellow skin and pastry. Further in, there was sweet and soft bean paste or lotus filling. The innermost layer was salted egg yolk. Not only did this contrast of sweetness on the outside and saltiness on the inside not make people feel that the texture was strange, but it was the perfect fusion.
From the side, one could see four layers of different colors of filling. When one took a bite, there were three layers of texture. They were crispy, soft, salty, and crunchy. Be it the appearance or taste, one could feel the multilayered changes.
Because these two types of ingredients were complicated and time-consuming to use, they were more expensive. Snowflake Crisp was priced at 0.05 yuan per 30 grams, and the egg yolk crisps were priced at 0.3 yuan per 100 grams. Yu Bing only dared to produce 500 Snowflake Crisps and 300 egg yolk crisps for the market. The county’s supply and marketing club had 300 Snowflake Crisps and 100 egg yolk crisps. The rest of the portions were sold by Xiao Sheng via wholesale.
Xiao Sheng sold most of the goods in the city. The purchasing power and market there were big enough, so the goods were sold out in two days. In the county city, the snowflake pastries were sold out in three days, and the egg yolk pastries were sold out in five days.
According to the market feedback, Yu Bing planned to look for various enterprises to discuss purchasing employee benefits. After all, this was the time when the demand for goods was the greatest. Then, she would ask Feng Cai to go to a few supply and marketing clubs in City H to negotiate and get the orders from both sides first. At that time, she would bring Feng Cai to City Z.
Although they were not familiar with City Z, Xiao Sheng had a sales channel there, so they had to find a enterprise as a cover.
On the other hand, waffles were fully distributed. There was no need to go to enterprises to get bulk orders.
After they sold the cherry jam last time, the enterprises who loaned things to He Mountain Brigade had received a portion of the repayment, so it was very easy for Yu Bing to get the order this time.
The purchasing department could purchase food from anyone. Moreover, with the factory director’s special approval, it wasn’t difficult for them to get orders. After all, these two products were impeccable in terms of taste and novelty.
After receiving the order, Yu Bing recruited more people. Time was tight. The recruitment training had to be completed in three days. Then, they would start production.
A new day began. On this day, what woke everyone up wasn’t the song on the radio, but the announcement of the second batch of workers in the factory.
Hence, everyone gathered at the factory door excitedly before starting work.
The recruitment advertisement was still on red paper. This time, there were two female chefs and two ordinary workers being recruited. The age range had not changed. There were two rounds of interviews.
In order not to affect work, the registration time was changed to break at noon. The written test took up an hour after work. The location was the three classrooms in the village’s primary school. The results were out the next morning, and the interview was scheduled for noon that day.
The people in the village didn’t expect the recruitment to start again after such a short period of time. The three-day learning fever caused by the written test also dissipated after the recruitment ended. Many people began to regret not persevering at that time. Moreover, the time between the registration and the written test was too short. It was definitely too late for them to learn at the last minute.
Some of the girls who wanted to work in the factory were so anxious that they cried. However, they could only blame themselves for not making preparations in advance.
Someone complained, “Didn’t we have three days to prepare before? This time, things were too rushed.”
