Chapter 188 The Cannery: Capacity Increase
When Liang Min and his wife heard that there would be dragon and phoenix soup that evening, they were also looking forward to it. After preparing some simple food, they waited for nightfall to come.
After nightfall.
In front of the village's vacant lot, the villagers had spontaneously moved all the tables and chairs from their homes.
The village aunties are preparing the ingredients.
The chickens and ducks are all raised at home, and the vegetables are grown in the villagers' own gardens, ensuring that all ingredients are clean and hygienic.
"When peeling the bark of the mountain peak, be careful not to damage it, because the village collective can take it out to sell for money."
Village chief Liang Jianguo was in the crowd, directing the villagers as they processed the ingredients.
Although in the afternoon, everyone joked with Xiao Liang that they should ask his family to provide the ingredients so they could have a dragon and phoenix soup.
But in the evening, everyone in the village brought out their own ingredients to put together a village feast.
The purpose of this village feast is simply to have fun.
Soon, the feast for the village banquet was ready.
The villagers sat around the table, looking at the delicious dishes, and all had smiles on their faces.
"It's been so long since I've had a feast, I've been really craving it. Little girl, don't you love fried chicken wings? Hurry up and get some."
"Fifth brother's wife, I heard your wife is about to give birth. Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Aunt Cui, you..."
The villagers chattered amongst themselves.
In their view, the village banquet is a way for busy working partners to gather together, chat, and share stories.
This kind of rural atmosphere can only exist in this era.
In a few decades, the warmth of human relationships in the village will gradually fade, and neighbors may not even nod or greet each other when they meet.
On behalf of the Chairman.
Xiao Liang, holding his wine glass, said gratefully to Liang Ming, Ji Wa, and the others:
"Brother Liang Ming, Chicken Boy, Dog Egg, Ama... I owe you all so much for today."
"Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to my wife and children. This glass is for you."
Upon hearing Xiao Liang's words, Chicken Boy, Dog Egg, and Ama quickly waved their hands and said:
"Xiao Liang, we're all from the same village, no need to be so polite."
"Yes, yes, we're all on the same side, don't be so polite with us."
Liang Ming also said to Xiao Liang, "Xiao Liang, let's not stand on ceremony. We'll talk about everything over drinks!"
“Yes, it’s all in the wine,” Chicken Boy and the others chimed in.
Upon hearing Liang Ming and the others' words, Xiao Liang's face showed gratitude, and he raised his glass, saying:
"Friends, I won't say anything more. Everything is in the wine. I'll drink it all. You can do as you please."
He immediately drank the wine in one gulp.
Seeing how readily Xiao Liang drank, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them with him.
Everyone enjoyed the village feast to the fullest.
Liang Ming was so drunk that he was about 70-80% intoxicated. When he got home, he slept until noon the next day.
"The homemade liquor brewed by the villagers is really not to be underestimated. It's said to be 20 degrees, but when you actually drink it, it's even stronger than baijiu."
The next day, when Liang Ming got out of bed, he still felt a little dizzy. He rubbed his head and sighed.
After he got up and washed up, he prepared to go into the kitchen to make something to eat.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw a note on the stove, left for him by his parents: "There is white porridge in the pot, and some stir-fried pickled vegetables and eggs. They are still warm. Eat some after you get up."
Upon seeing the contents of the note, Liang Ming lifted the cover on the stove and found a steamer inside with a bowl of white porridge and several side dishes on it.
Seeing this, Liang Ming couldn't help but smile.
In my past life, after I got together with Song Mei, I became estranged from my family and couldn't get any warmth from her.
Now, I live in a happy family atmosphere every day.
After lunch, Liang Ming drove his farm tricycle to Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township.
As the cannery expanded, new factory buildings and warehouses have been built near the original cannery.
The entire cannery is now much larger than before.
In the cannery, there were also many new faces that Liang Ming did not recognize; they were probably all new workers who had been recently hired.
After Liang Ming entered the cannery, he saw workers diligently producing cans of lychee on the production line.
The scale of production is also much larger than before.
"Boss Liang!"
"Boss Liang!"
Many factory managers noticed Liang Ming's arrival and showed respect on their faces, greeting him one after another.
"You all go about your business, I just came to check on things."
Liang Ming nodded to them and said.
Upon hearing this, the factory's management didn't dare to take it entirely seriously. They sent a representative to accompany Liang Ming on his tour, while the others continued working.
The older workers all recognized Liang Ming. When they saw him, they simply nodded and greeted him before continuing with their work.
Many of the new workers didn't recognize Liang Ming. Seeing the older workers around them treating Liang Ming with respect, they all whispered and asked about Liang Ming's background.
When they learned that Liang Ming was their boss, the new workers all showed a look of surprise.
They never expected their factory owner to be so young.
"Boss Liang, you've come at the right time. I have some work to report to you."
At this moment, Wang Ren also heard that Liang Ming had come to the factory, and hurriedly came out of his office, saying with a big smile.
"Director Wang, what's making you so happy?"
Liang Ming also noticed Wang Ren's bright smile and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Liang, you know our cannery's previous production capacity was only about 3000 cans per day."
Wang Ren didn't waste any words and reported to Liang Ming:
"After supplying the county supply and marketing cooperative, state-run restaurants, and a few state-run stores, there won't be much left."
"Since our factory expanded, built new workshops, and recruited new workers, our production capacity has now exceeded 5000 cans per day."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's face showed a look of surprise, and he said:
"Has the production capacity reached 5000 pieces per day?"
"Looks like the progress is really good!"
Seeing Liang Ming's surprised expression, Wang Ren smiled and said:
"And this is only the result of the factory expansion reaching 3% completion."
"Once our factory's production capacity expansion is completed, we expect to reach 10,000 pieces per day!"
At this point, a smug look appeared on Wang Ren's face.
In the past, when he opened a cannery, no one believed in him and thought he didn't have the ability to run a factory.
Now, he has at least proven to outsiders that while he may not have the ability to run a factory, he certainly has the ability to manage factory capacity!
"Director Wang, you've done a great job. I'm very confident in entrusting Liangji Canned Food Factory to you!"
Liang Ming patted Wang Ren on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Ren felt a surge of pride.
But then, as if remembering something, he said to Liang Ming:
"Mr. Liang, the main point I want to make to you isn't the increase in production capacity, but rather whether our factory should accept the orders from several foreign businessmen."
