Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 151 Travel

After the competition, Zhuang Xien and Wen Qing took advantage of the National Day holiday to visit Sanhai Customs.

Both of them were very busy on weekdays and had never gone out together before. Wen Qing got a letter of introduction in the name of Changxia Wine Industry and went to Shanhaiguan to visit the Ming Dynasty Great Wall.

Shanhaiguan is known as the first pass of the Great Wall. In autumn, the seaside has rippling water, seabirds are circling, and waves are splashing. Two people stroll on the beach, and the sea breeze blows, bringing a cool breeze.

At night, the two stayed in a hotel in a seaside town. The next morning, they got up after 5 o'clock and went to the beach to watch the sunrise.

Wen Qing, wrapped in a thick military coat, stood on the rocks by the sea with Zhuang Xien, who was also wrapped in a military coat, watching the sky change from dim to bright, and watching the sun burst out from the sea, dyeing the sea water and the skyline red.

The two were shocked by the magnificent scenery of nature. They stood quietly on the beach and waited until the sun rose high before going back to have breakfast.

They bought fish and clams from a fisherman's boat by the sea, brought them to a restaurant in the small town and had them cooked. Because the ingredients were fresh, even a simple cooking method was delicious and memorable.

The two of them only spent two days at Sanhaiguan before returning to Pingjing. The main reason was that the National Day holiday was not long and they were both very busy with work and could not stay for long.

After the National Day, Director Ye took Wen Qing to the Sifeng General Packaging Equipment Factory again.

They have started mass production of vacuum packaging machines and have developed three models to meet the different needs of small workshops and small factories.

The reason they were invited this time was mainly because the factory had designed a sealing machine that could seal plastic bags or paper packaging bags. It was a separately designed device that separated the sealing function of the vacuum machine.

Director Zhang took out the design drawings and showed them to Director Ye, who then handed them to Wen Qing. Wen Qing analyzed them carefully and felt there was no problem. She nodded and returned the drawings to Director Zhang. Director Ye asked the factory to make samples first.

Wen Qing privately reminded Director Zhang that the sealing function alone was too simple, and that the printing, filling and sealing functions should be integrated so that users would not have to buy two devices, which would also be convenient for food factories to use.

Director Zhang paused and felt that he had oversimplified the problem, so he nodded and sent Director Ye and Wen Qing away. He gathered the technicians together and conveyed Wen Qing's opinions to everyone.

Director Zhang said: "Let's imagine the food packaging process. First, the packaging bag is installed on the equipment, text and patterns are printed on the packaging bag, and then the product is filled in, and then it is passed to the sealing stage.

If every link has to be put back on the production line, it would be very troublesome, so we need to integrate the functions and make a machine with complete functions. "

The functions of the new equipment were relatively complex, so Factory Director Zhang led a team to tackle the problem and asked Director Ye to help contact the packaging material factory, confirm the equipment and materials needed for printing, find the food factory, observe the filling process, and figure out all the details.

The factory technicians worked overtime for a month and once again invited Director Ye and Wen Qing to give guidance. This time the equipment has more complete functions and higher technical content, and it already has the prototype of automated packaging.

Wen Qing looked at their design and thought it was very practical, so she nodded in approval.

Director Ye was also more satisfied with the new design. Everyone unanimously accepted it, and the Sifeng Packaging Equipment Factory began to produce prototypes. Wen Qing would go to the factory whenever he had time to help them solve their problems in a timely manner.

The expansion project of the winery is also progressing smoothly. The newly reclaimed land in the Wenqing Space has been planted with crops. There are 750 acres of land in the space, 200 acres of which are planted with glutinous sorghum, 150 acres of rice, wheat and corn, 50 acres of barley and 50 acres of peas.

Every season, 60 to 70 kilograms of grain can be harvested, which is basically enough for the current winery. If the new factory is put into production, it will definitely not be enough.

It has been more than a month since Wen Qing arrived at the school-run factory, and she wants to know the progress of the equipment customization.

Director Li took her to the warehouse, where stainless steel fermentation tanks with filtering function, drying beds, stainless steel wine distiller, stainless steel grain moistening tanks with stirring function, and crushers had all been produced.

Wen Qing asked Director Li for help and bought five small forklifts, six overhead cranes, two large boilers, and customized six conveyors to transport the distiller's grains.

The filling equipment and labeling machines used in the new factory were purchased directly from the school-run factory.

Wen Qing said to Director Li: "I have a complete set of winery design drawings here. If anyone wants to build a winery in the future, they can ask me to design it."

Director Li said: "Xiao Wen, your wine can be regarded as a standardized model for wineries. If someone builds a winery in the future, I can recommend it to you."

Building a winery requires not only factory buildings and equipment, but also the equipment needs to be organized according to traffic lines.

Now that Director Li has the drawings of all the equipment, he can naturally develop into a winery equipment manufacturer.

Wen Qing suggested that he contact more with various design institutes, polytechnic colleges, and industrial universities, asking them to incorporate the products of their school-run factories into the design projects of food, beverages, and wine, and suggested that he develop horizontally in the field of food processing equipment.

Factory Director Li agrees, "In the past, we only produced some equipment for school teaching, with small output and little profit. Now everyone is talking about facing the market and finding a way out. I am worried that I can't support the workers."

In this era of change, people like Director Huang of Ping'an County, Director Liu Changgui of Erxia Village, Director Li of the school-run factory, and Director Zhang of Sifeng General Packaging Equipment Factory are all taking the initiative to meet challenges and firmly grasp the pulse of the times. They are people of insight.

Director Li asked Wen Qing when to pick up the goods, and he would deliver them to the winery at that time.

Wen Qing replied: "Our factory is under construction and it will probably take until next spring."

Director Li promised to keep it for her and send it to Wen Qing when she needed it.

After the bicycle race, Schindler bicycles became famous, and they made some changes to the Schindler bicycle store in Xicheng. The 360-square-meter bicycle store is considered relatively large.

At Wen Qing's suggestion, the store's decoration highlights a sporty style. A race track was painted on the ground, and various sales areas were divided according to city roads, gravel roads and forests. A leisure and living area was added, and there were pictures of bicycle races and leisure on the walls, striving to show a vibrant and free life.

After being decorated in this style, it has become popular among young people who pursue fashion.

Wen Qing also suggested taking the opportunity to start a cycling club, organize cycling knowledge education, and promote a sports and leisure lifestyle.

The West City Schindler store not only sells bicycle-related products, but also outdoor equipment.

At present, there are no specialized bicycle sports equipment sales in the country. They can only customize bicycle seats, handlebars, cup holders, bells, seats, bicycle camel bags, etc. to sell. They also launched a small civilian tent changed from a military tent, which increased the profit point for bicycle shops. Schindler Bicycle Shop is among the best bicycle shops in Pingjing.

Wen Qing and Zhuang Xian are both very busy. Wen Qing stays in the courtyard of Erxia Village for two days a week. She has to use the evening time to take care of the affairs of the winery. Zhuang Xian goes to the Ji Zhong Xunda Bicycle Factory for two weeks every month to take shifts with Lin Qingyuan.

When he was away, Wen Qing would return to Erxia Village most of the time.

Ever since Liu Quan and his friends invested in the winery, they have become more serious. Liu Quan has added five new distributors. Now Changxia Wine Industry has three five-star distributors and eighteen four-star distributors. The monthly sales have increased from 8 tons to 9 tons, and the business momentum is very good.
