Chapter 156 The Unfair Factory Director Ji

The moment the tip of my tongue touched it, a burst of numbing spiciness hit me, stimulating my taste buds and causing my mouth to water. The originally hard beef jerky began to soften, and I couldn't help but chew it. The more I chewed, the more fragrant it became, until the moment I swallowed it, leaving a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth.

Section Chief Liu felt his mouth was still full of that taste, and subconsciously swallowed, still wanting more.

"What does Section Chief Liu think?"

Section Chief Liu pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, "The taste is indeed quite good."

This beef jerky is spicy and can stimulate the nerves. On the one hand, it can prevent you from dozing off on long drives, but it is a bit water-consuming and hard on your cheeks.

"This thing isn't cheap, is it?"

Section Chief Liu picked up another one. The meat was firm and tasted good. Looking at the packaging, there was a cute black and white calf printed on the bag. It was clear that a lot of effort had been put into it.

"You get what you pay for. If Section Chief Liu wants some, the wholesale price is 6 yuan per jin, and the suggested retail price is 7 yuan. We have half-jin and one-jin packs, as well as loose packs, in three different packaging options."

Section Chief Liu put down the beef jerky in his hand. "Comrade Ji, you're being really dishonest in your business dealings. You offer such low prices to our brother units, but why do you raise the price so much when you come here?"

Section Chief Liu's expression grew increasingly serious.

Ji Sisi wasn't worried. "To be honest, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Section Chief Liu, but our factory received funding approved by County Chief Wei."
The finance department is also using funds from Peter to pay Paul; they gave us the money, but the salaries of other units are delayed, and they're a month behind on pay.

Ji Sisi wasn't lying. She had heard complaints when she went to the finance department with Secretary Lin, but they were reluctant to listen because it was something that County Chief Wei had signed off on.

They could only give the lion's share to Huaihua, and Ji Sisi knew that County Chief Wei must know about this.

He chose to shoulder the pressure and give her a chance, so she couldn't let him down.

Section Chief Liu didn't expect it to actually come out like that, and after hearing it, her resolve to refuse wavered somewhat.

I never expected that the Huaihua Food Factory had this incident, and my opinion on the matter immediately changed.

"Then I'll take sixty catties to try first, half catties each and half loose."

Ji Sisi looked back and saw that Hu Zhibin nodded to indicate that the registration was complete, and the next step was to go through the procedures, collect the deposit, and issue the invoice.

"Section Chief Liu, I also wanted to ask how much it costs to rent your small truck for a month?"

"The car is 100 yuan, the driver is 50 yuan, but if it's Comrade Ji, I'll give you a 12% discount?"

Ji Sisi refused, saying, "Let's be business, we'll accept whatever the price is."

Section Chief Liu smiled meaningfully.

"They're all rented out this month. If you want to rent one, you'll have to wait until next month."

Ji Sisi's transportation plan was forced to be abandoned.

I left the transportation company.

"Sis, how come I've never heard you mention what happened just now?"

Ji Sisi didn't say anything because she was afraid of putting pressure on Hu Zhibin; the fewer people who knew about this, the less anxiety there would be.

People nowadays all think about the collective good; everyone is willing to sacrifice their own interests for the greater good.

Ji Sisi didn't want things to develop to that point; this was just the beginning, and the real difficulties were yet to come.

"Didn't I just say that now?"

Ji Sisi walked ahead, "Let's go, we need to quickly figure out how to solve this transportation problem."

The first time, Ji Sisi brought three outside cattle slaughterers and Hu Zhibin to deliver the first batch in two or three batches.

With the increasing volume of goods coming in, this problem must be resolved as soon as possible.

"Are we only sending one transportation company?"

Ji Sisi brought in too many orders the first two times, but now there's only one, and Hu Zhibin feels a sense of disappointment. "Isn't this one order enough?"

Although 60 kilograms may not seem like much, the unit price has gone up.

Hu Zhibin knew this, but once he tasted the benefits, he couldn't stop. "Then, sister, when will we get in touch with the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"It's not time to wait for them to come to us."

Once the beef jerky has spread more widely and become a household name, she will use scarcity as a marketing tactic.

Back then, there was no worry about not making money.
-
Back at the supply and marketing cooperative, Ji Sisi first checked the inventory; there were still fifty jin of goods left.

Everyone was extremely busy recently. After finishing their regular work, the butchers also had to temporarily take on the final packing task.

Ji Sisi looked through the ledgers and found that the deficit from the previous period was still far from being covered, and it needed to be made up as soon as possible before she could start making a profit.

"Sis, I'm going home now."

Hu Zhibin packed his bag and said hello. Only then did Ji Sisi realize that it was time to get off work.

"Okay, I'll be leaving right away. I'll lock the ledgers after I've finished reviewing them."

Ji Sisi gathered her thoughts, rubbed her throbbing temples, closed the ledger, put it in the box, locked it, and prepared to go home.

Ji Sisi could smell the strong aroma of chicken soup, mixed with the scent of red dates, even before she entered the room.

"You're back? The chicken soup is almost ready. Director Qi gave me your house key; he asked someone to buy two chickens for you to nourish your body."

Li Hongying came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

“Sister Hongying, you really are my sister, even my own sister isn’t as good as you.”

Ever since I told Li Hongying that I was pregnant, she has been coming over every few days to bring me some nutritious food.

"Why are you being so polite with me? You and Xiao Qi always think of us when you have something good. They say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We're neighbors, so it's normal for us to help each other out."

Li Hongying sat by the fire the whole time, and there was already a lot of firewood piled up in front of the stove.

She usually has some leftovers, so she takes some to Ji Sisi's house to store, which is convenient for Ji Sisi to use when she cooks here.

“This is some beef jerky I brought back from the factory for you, Sister Hongying. Please take it back and let Brother Zhao and Xiaowu try it.”

As she spoke, Ji Sisi washed her hands, grabbed a small piece from the bag, and fed it to Li Hongying, saying, "Try it and see if it's good."

Li Hongying nodded as she ate, making "uh-uh" sounds of approval.

"My God, this is beef, but it doesn't taste like beef at all!" Li Hongying exclaimed in surprise as she ate, her expression exaggerated.

Ji Sisi tied the bag back up. There were two jin (1 kg) of this bag in total. She bought it especially to thank Li Hongying.

Unexpectedly, she was at home making chicken soup for herself again.

"Sisi, don't think I'm being long-winded. You're in two bodies now, so you have to be careful in everything you do."

Li Hongying sat by the stove like an elder, the flickering flames casting a rosy glow on her face, and her words were incredibly heartwarming.

Ji Sisi patiently stayed by her side and echoed her sentiments.

"Xiao Qi said he won't be home for dinner tonight, so he'll tell you to drink two more bowls of soup."

Ji Sisi looked at Li Hongying, who was taking off her apron, and said, "Go and call Xiao Wu and Brother Zhao over to eat together. I can't finish all this by myself."

"Who told you to finish it all at once? This will take several days to finish. You should eat it slowly by yourself. This is all for your health; we don't need it."

Li Hongying waved her hand in refusal, picked up the beef jerky, and said, "I'll take this. I'm just idling around anyway, doing nothing but cooking and cooking my dishes."
