Chapter 181: Trial Production

When Li Yi and his companions returned to Jiangcheng, it was already dusk in the afternoon!

At noon, Li Yi and his companions were warmly entertained by the old village chief and the villagers, and the enthusiasm made Li Yi a little embarrassed. Read М

If he hadn't insisted on returning to the city, he might have been left in Yujia Village tonight by the villagers.

Fortunately, there was something else to do in the afternoon, because the purchased commercial pigs had to be sent to the meat processing plant, and then the first batch of ham sausages would be processed for trial!

Li Yi naturally had to be present for such an important matter.

However, no one expected that it would suddenly rain heavily when returning to the city, and it caused a landslide.

The original two-hour drive was turned into more than five hours because of the detour. When Li Yi and his companions returned to Jiangcheng, it was already night.

This rainstorm came very suddenly and very urgently.

Fortunately, Li Yi and his companions had already delivered the piglets, otherwise, if they were caught in such a heavy rain, the piglets would probably get sick.

As soon as he returned to Jiangcheng, Li Yi temporarily settled Zhou Min and her daughter in a hotel, and then went to the meat processing factory.

It was more than six o'clock in the evening. For the workers in the meat processing factory, it should have been time to get off work, but no one left!

They were all in the workshop, watching the technicians' operations!

The technicians skillfully used various equipment on the production line, which dazzled the employees of the meat processing factory.

Then when the first ham sausage finally appeared from the ham sausage filling machine, everyone was shocked!

Such a large piece of pork finally turned into a strip of ham sausage!

Although some employees have come into contact with ham sausage, they were still shocked to see the entire ham sausage production process so intuitively.

It is not impossible to achieve this level, but it takes at least a week of training. The ham sausage made in this week is for them to practice.

According to Li Yi's idea, the ham sausage made in the second week can be recommended and sold to surrounding shops.

In fact, everyone has a very vague concept of the price of ham sausage!

Because the prices of the ham sausages bought before are not the same, some people think that although many other things are added to the ham sausage, the main body is still pork, so the price cannot be too low.

For Li Yi, the issue of pricing is not the point, the point is whether it can be sold throughout Jiangcheng!

The most important thing about ham sausage is its taste!

If the taste is not in place, then the price will be of no avail.

Li Yi personally tasted the first ham sausage and concluded that the taste is okay.

But compared with big brands like Shuanghui, it is still lacking!

These employees who operate the equipment are operating under the instructions of technicians, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur.

So the taste of the first ham sausage is still good, and the tastes of the latter ones have become a bit varied.

This is not the biggest problem. For Li Yi, the proficiency of operating equipment will gradually improve. How to increase the sales of ham sausage is the top priority!

Li Yi looked at the expectant eyes of the meat processing factory employees and glanced at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

After a little thought, Li Yi said loudly: "Everyone, let's go first. We don't advocate overtime! Everyone go back first and we will continue tomorrow!"

"Tonight, share these ham sausages with everyone, take them home to taste, cook some dishes or something!"

The employees smiled happily and went home with a few ham sausages in their hands.

Li Yi kept several people from the technical department. He wanted to hold a small meeting.

The main person in charge of the technical department was the middle-aged man who came to the meat processing factory with the first batch of equipment, Zhao Guofu!

Zhao Guofu finally chose to stay and stay in the meat processing factory. After all, the salary of 300 yuan a month was too tempting.

When Zhao Guofu called his former boss, he said directly that the boss offered too much and there was no way to refuse...

Zhao Guofu's boss was also very helpless, but he was also an open-minded person. He did not embarrass Zhao Guofu, but happily handled Zhao Guofu's resignation procedures.

In fact, Li Yi's orders did help the company out of trouble. Although a group of technicians were lost, they could just find another group.

Zhao Guofu received very good treatment in the meat processing plant, including the two factory directors of the meat processing plant, and even Li Yi himself, who were very polite to Zhao Guofu.

Zhao Guofu was also grateful. During the days when Li Yi was running around, he would give classes in the auditorium of the meat processing plant every day.

Not only did he explain the structure of these machines and how to operate them, he also taught the workers how to get started more easily, and answered everyone's questions.

Only by his own strength, the employees of the meat processing plant had a new understanding of these high-tech machines.

After Li Yi learned the news, he secretly sighed that the 300 yuan he spent every month was really worth it!

Zhao Guofu was studying a blueprint at this time, which showed the ingredients of ham sausage. After hearing Li Yi said that he wanted to have a meeting, he put down his fingers.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Old Zhao, are you used to staying in the meat processing factory?"

Zhao Guofu smiled and said, "It's good. This treatment is much better than my previous company. By the way, what kind of meeting does the boss want to hold?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Now basically the entire meat processing plant has entered the regular stage, and we are about to face the next difficulty, which is the problem of sales! Regarding the sales channels of ham sausage, I would like to ask everyone, do you have any ideas?"

Sales channels?

Zhao Guofu and several technicians around him looked at each other and felt a little helpless.

They are all technical people, and they don't really know much about these things. Although a marketing department has been established, where are the sales staff in the original meat processing plant?

So this sales department has no one so far...

Li Yi sighed and said in a deep voice: "What do you think, if we start with retail stores and start selling ham sausage to them?"

Starting from the store, this is indeed a good idea!

But the problem is that the citizens of Jiangcheng now only have Shuanghui's ham sausage in their eyes!

Will anyone buy the new brand of ham sausage when it is launched?

Besides, the taste of their ham sausages is not comparable to that of Shuanghui, so I'm afraid they won't be able to sell them at all!

Li Yi frowned, knowing that this method was a bit unreliable.

But then, Li Yi thought of the small carts selling grilled sausages at the entrance of the mall before he traveled back. This might be a breakthrough point!
