Chapter 773: Development Department

Next is the pickling of pickled radishes.

It is not an easy task to turn ordinary yet carefully selected radishes into delicious side dishes through secret methods.

Because this is aimed at exporting to earn foreign exchange.

Therefore, from material selection to sauce preparation, etc., there are specialized personnel responsible.

The pickle factory doesn't have many machines and equipment, and more of it relies on manual labor.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to have so many workers inside.

But now everything has been reorganized, especially in terms of hygiene, which is strictly enforced.

Now everyone attaches great importance to it, and a special experimental group has been set up. There are also many people who don't take it seriously, saying that this is just a pickle, and it will be fine once it's pickled.

What's the difference from the pickles eaten by ordinary people?

To put it bluntly, it's a big radish, not pork belly.

Lu Qiao went once and said to them: "What we are going to do is not pickles, but high-end side dishes that can enter the international market!"

Just these two sentences elevated the image of pickles.

Of course, this is different from other things; it's not something that can be seen in a day or two, and Feng Zihan needs to use the power of Chairman Feng to arrange a few people. Lu Qiao even specifically asked Little Cangcang and Dongdong to go around to see if these two were doing their best.

Checking like this really surprised Lu Qiao.

These two people were actually related to Chairman Feng's original wife, that is, Feng Zihan's mother.

These two people, one named A-Cheng and the other named A-Wu, were orphans she helped, and the housekeeper Uncle An who followed was also a person of Feng Zihan's mother, Cai Yintong.

Even if Little Cangcang inquired everywhere, the inside story of the events of that year could not be pieced together completely.

After all, only Chairman Feng and Cai Yintong knew about these things.

Lu Qiao felt that although Cai Yintong was bedridden in the later period, she should also know that she offended Chairman Feng by doing so. Although it wouldn't go so far as to poison her children, it might not be much better.

But one thing is for sure, safety is definitely not a problem.

Cai Yintong should understand Chairman Feng; he would not give the family business to the children of his brother's family to inherit.

So she prepared people for them.

Both of them are very capable, are invisible rich people, and their business ability is naturally first-class.

Even Lu Qiao's eyes lit up; these two were a notch higher than Luo Ziwen and Zhen Xi.

With such people helping to operate, Feng Zihan's first ticket will not only be a hit but will also make a fortune in silence.

At the very least, by the time Chairman Feng notices, Feng Zihan will no longer be underestimated.

However, there is one thing Lu Qiao doesn't quite understand, and that is that these two people hadn't appeared before this.

If she hadn't participated, the Feng family might have really been swallowed up.

The swallowed Feng family naturally includes Feng Zihan.

But she doesn't dare to guarantee this 100%.

What if they changed their names? After all, the surname Feng is not a big deal.

After Lu Qiao confirmed that there was nothing wrong, she felt relieved and said to Feng Zihan: "Tomorrow we will go to the pickle factory. The first batch of pickles has been taken out of the jar. If you are satisfied, our small pickle business can start."

Feng Zihan was also very excited. Although it was a small business, she was also excited and happy because this meant that she might be able to support herself and her brother.

Even a small business is better than nothing.

Lu Qiao didn't remind Feng Zihan that although it's a small pickle business, there will be a day when it grows bigger and stronger.

When they went, Director Bai, Secretary Shi, and Director Lu were all there.

There were also leaders from the food factory.

And although Old Min stood on the side, his expression was the most joyful.

Don't underestimate the pickle factory; the factory manager said this is the best partner for instant noodles in the future.

In other words, if you want to eat instant noodles, you might have to buy a bag of pickles to eat with it.

In fact, Old Min didn't quite understand either. Instant noodles are so delicious; even if he is the one producing them, he never gets tired of smelling this taste every day.

Pickles?

That's just a pickle, something to scrape the oil out of the stomach. It's hard to get a little oil in the stomach, and eating pickles scrapes all the oil away.

When he told Factory Manager Xiao Lu, Factory Manager Xiao Lu smiled and said that it couldn't be explained now, wait a few years, and everyone will understand when life gets better.

Whether he understands or not is not important; what's important is that he believes in Factory Manager Xiao Lu's words.

And he is used to this line of food. Although the pickled radish heads are in the jar now, he knows it must be a success.

People do things very pragmatically now.

There is no ceremony, no need to invite reporters or radio stations, none of that.

It's just Director Bai opening a jar himself.

Suddenly, a sauce fragrance rushed towards them.

Needless to say, it's a success!

The workshop director on the side is still Old Zhou. The leaders finally decided to use him. Mainly, he is a person who can tolerate others. The two newly hired old masters were transferred by Director Bai, but they couldn't be workshop directors, so they still had to be selected from those who passed the assessment.

So, after selecting and selecting, Old Zhou was finally decided.

Mainly, this person has a mass foundation, and his attitude... is really knowing his mistakes and correcting them, preparing very hard, and finally passing the exam with other workers, and his grades are quite good.

Today, Old Zhou is also very excited.

It's been more than a month, and it's really not easy.

But it finally succeeded, and all the efforts are worth it.

Feng Zihan tasted it on the spot, and the taste... for her, a Hong Kong person, she was very satisfied.

This pickled radish has been improved to suit the tastes of Southerners, especially Hong Kong people.

After all, this pickle factory is facing customers in Hong Kong.

Subsequent operations are naturally smooth.

With A-Cheng and A-Wu there, the first batch of one thousand jars of pickled radishes in trial operation sold out quickly.

Then the second batch of orders came.

At this time, it was already the end of 1977.

Lu Qiao is now a cadre of the Foreign Trade Development Department.

Little Ma was also transferred here, still doing his old job.

But he was happy and excited because Little Ma had become a formal cadre of the Foreign Trade General Bureau.

And some of the cadres in the Fifth Division had been separated, but some were still waiting for distribution.

For example, Section Chief Wei, he was asked back by Old Lu.

The office of the Development Department also received comrades from the Fourth Division.

Because the offices of the Fourth and Fifth Divisions were given to other three departments, the leaders above vacated a large office on the fourth floor and gave it to the Development Department.

Lu Qiao's situation is special. This time, Director Lu held a meeting and specifically emphasized that Lu Qiao's time is free.

And Lu Qiao didn't say she would throw away the big canteen.

As long as Director Lin agrees, it's the same as before.

And this Development Department was nicknamed the "Radish Department" by some people.

It's because their first foreign exchange order was pickled radishes. Even if it was ordered with Hong Kong people, what they sold was this pickle.

I don't know how it started being called that behind their backs.

Of course, no one looks down on it. Even a mosquito is meat. As long as you can earn foreign exchange, it's all good.

Qi Qi blocked Gu Jiayan at the door and said with a smile: "I thought you could go to the Development Department, what's the matter, they don't want you?" ===== CHAPTER 774 =====
