Chapter 150 The expansion of the food empire (Part 1)
The start of construction of several major factories in Chi County indicates that Chi County will enter a new stage of development in the future.
To a certain extent, this is the prototype and foundation for future grassroots industrialization.
One thing to say.
In fact, this time the rabbits' factory was successfully opened and the recruitment of workers was successful.
This is partly due to the Wei Mansion, or the tradition of Chixian County not oppressing the lower class.
Otherwise, if you change to another city - such as Donglin City where Zhao Qianju was previously located, this large-scale move to gather the lower class will be more or less resisted by the superstructure.
Because their vision is that way, they cannot imagine how much benefit industrialization can bring them.
Before they see the benefits that their own class will gain from increased productivity, these families will only feel that you have lured away the servants and bonded workers that they can exploit.
Of course, it's impossible for those kind of family rabbits to help them.
Therefore, Chixian City cannot be said to be a dead-end winner. It still has some bonus points.
And with the current start-up of the factory, according to the rabbits' next plan.
This is because the workers are new to the process and are not familiar with it.
The textile factory can produce about 700 pieces of cotton clothes every day.
The textile factory has a total of 7,000 workers. This output is equivalent to a standard garment-making module for ten people and a standard semi-manual production line for 100 people.
It's probably three to four times faster than traditional hand sewing.
This yield cannot be said to be high, or it can be said to be very, very low - especially compared with local production.
For example, in China in 2022, many township-level garment factories can produce tens of thousands of pieces of clothing every day.
But don't forget.
The textile factory in Chi County has a semi-manual and semi-automatic process.
Rather than saying that the upper limit of the entire textile factory's production capacity is so high, it is better to say that the line drawn by the rabbits is this number.
This is called regulation.
This kind of output will neither leave workers idle nor cause overproduction.
After all, the entire Chi County is still in the first stage of hematopoiesis, and nothing can be rushed.
At the same time, these products are also very flexible in terms of sales.
Their sales outlets cover Chixian City itself, several connections of the Wei Mansion caravan in nearby cities, Linyuan City and even Ziqiong City two thousand miles away.
These cities could become dumping grounds for cotton products at any time.
And it was the day after several factories in Chi County started operations.
In Ziqiong City, two thousand miles away.
Gu Junming, who did not return with the trade group from this trip, welcomed a new group of headquarters visitors in a remote courtyard.
"Chief of Staff Gu, Chief of Staff of XX Company of XX Group Army Ye Fangwei, together with 36 people from the military cooking team and related personnel, are officially reporting to you!"
Gu Junming looked at Ye Fangwei, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a civilian sergeant, and returned the salute to him solemnly:
"Hello, Chief Secretary Ye, my name is Gu Junming. I represent the headquarters at the secret site in Ziqiong City. I welcome you."
Then the two of them shook hands tightly.
After letting go of your hand.
Ye Fangwei led Gu Junming to his side, pointed at the dozens of people behind him and said:
"Chief of Staff Gu, let me introduce you first.
These are members of the cooking squad of the company affiliated with the Second Synthetic Battalion of our group army. The soldier standing at the front is Wang Hai, the squad leader of the cooking squad. "
Wang Hai is a tall, dark-skinned man, about thirty years old, who looks very simple and capable.
He took the lead and saluted Gu Junming, and said in an authentic voice from Sanyuan City, Fujian Province:
"Hello, Chief of Staff Gu!"
Gu Junming also smiled and said hello to him and the other soldiers in the cooking squad. After staying in Ziqiong City for so long, he also missed the food in the army:
"Hello, Comrade Wang Hai, and the comrades from the cooking class."
Then Ye Fangwei pointed to several older men in their forties or fifties who had extraordinary bearings and said:
"Chief of Staff Gu, these five are master chefs arranged by the core layer. They come from many places across the country. This is Chef Huang Shixian, this is Master Qin Jiu, and this is the 'Jiangnan Sword King' Zhao Qiwen."
Gu Junming had read the files of Ye Fangwei and others before they arrived, and knew that the resumes of Huang Shixian and others were extraordinary, and all of them could be called top masters.
For example, the leader Huang Shixian.
This man was short in stature, with a sinewy face and a small shaved head. He looked like a member of society.
But in fact he is a chef - the kind with a surprisingly large unit.
Huang Shixian is fifty-eight years old this year. He works at the famous State Guesthouse in the Imperial Capital. He is the legendary head chef of Building 12, and is currently one of the three recognized masters of Cantonese cuisine in the country.
And the other Qin Jiu, who was wearing black clothes, also had an extraordinary background.
Qin Jiu is one of the few remaining top masters in China who is proficient in both ancient and modern wine-making techniques.
He was once the chief winemaking consultant for a well-known winery in southwest China, and his snow pear wine is quite famous internationally.
Except for the two groups of people Wang Hai and Huang Shixian.
This time, Ye Fangwei was accompanied by several translators and some experienced and diligent waiters.
What, you said you saw Julien among these waiters?
Calm down, it's just a transfer of land to buy a property, so don't make too much of a fuss.
Ahem
Ye Fangwei's group of people set off when the trade group left Ziqiong City and returned to the camp.
But it was less urgent than when Yan Shaoxin originally transported the equipment.
Ye Fangwei and his party were much more calm. It took them eight or nine days to arrive at Ziqiong City.
In fact, considering the basic transportation environment of the Great Mo Realm, which favors ancient painting styles, traveling two thousand miles in eight or nine days is not too slow.
Speaking of transportation capacity, many people may have had misunderstandings before:
That is, long-distance movement in the Great Mo Realm must rely on extraordinary vehicles such as flying boats.
This idea is actually wrong.
Flying boats are more suitable for long-distance transportation of large-scale caravans, which is high-cost but time-saving, and is the most efficient method.
But if you don’t care much about time consumption, animal-drawn vehicles such as the Lizard Qi can actually achieve this effect - for example, walk a hundred miles to the next city to rest, replenish food and water, and travel along the road the next day. Set off again on the official road.
Official roads are generally located in open areas, with sight distances of several hundred meters or more, and are relatively safe most of the time.
Occasionally, the land transport caravans can deal with attacks by monsters that have not yet advanced to the highest level at a relatively small cost.
The reason why Yan Shaoxin and the others encountered a small group of beasts led by first-order monsters was mainly because they took a remote cross-country route in a hurry.
As they had more roads to take when they came back, they didn't encounter the same dilemma as when they left.
So overall.
The extraordinary vehicles in the Great Mo Realm can only be said to be efficient and time-saving, but they cannot be said to be the only way to travel.
In other words, as the saying goes, cats have cat paths and mice have rat paths. Each one has its own path.
Of course.
With the configuration of Ye Weiming's cooking team, even taking a cross-country route should not be a big problem, and they would not panic at all when encountering monsters.
After all, we all know it.
The cooking class is the strongest combat power of the rabbits. They are all warrior kings and dare to give you the headquarters.
His eyes returned to Gu Junming's courtyard.
This time, Ye Fangwei and his party came to Ziqiong City with only one purpose:
Spread Chinese local food culture!
Yes, that's the purpose.
Don't think too evilly of the rabbits. What bad intentions can the honest rabbits have?
It's just that when we are spreading the food culture, we take some time to collect the customs of Ziqiong City, learn about the traditional culture of Da Mo Realm, and chat with the vegetable seller and the customers. This is also reasonable. Bar?
You know, in order to promote traditional food culture.
Julien and his comrades were all transferred from the army and became employees of the third service industry. What kind of awakening is this?
In the anime, it would be a barrage of tears.
At the same time, in order to promote traditional food culture, the headquarters specially selected two types of chefs:
One is the top chefs in the food industry such as Huang Shixian and Qin Jiu, and the other is the cooking class that has solid portions but less advanced skills.
