Chapter 990 The school sweetheart’s first love who took a check and went abroad (28)
Xu Yin took advantage of the busy farming season, and the farm was recuperating for the time being. Willie was there on the ranch to keep an eye on everything, and she couldn't stay idle anymore. She took the opportunity to visit the Macleay family in Hawke's Bay to visit the east coast of the island. Ran it again.
King salmon, black golden abalone, oysters, mussels, paddle crabs, crayfish... I buy the fresh ones when I come across them. I don’t know when I will come next time.
Most of it is stored in the system warehouse, and a basket is left outside. You can cook it and eat it when you stay at home during the winter. You can also give some to the townspeople you have friends with to try.
In addition, she also stocked up on fruits and vegetables unique to the towns she passed through.
Apples, kiwis, and blueberries can be found everywhere in Cooktown. She bought some to try, but after seeing that they tasted almost the same, she stopped stocking up. She picked out a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables that were not common in the market.
The harvest is gratifying, but the money is spent quickly.
According to this method, she will probably have to sell another box of gold bars by next spring to make ends meet.
But every time she went to a seaside town and saw the freshest seafood caught by fishing boats, she couldn't help itching and went to buy it.
After shopping and shopping all the way, when we returned to Cook Town, there were snow particles falling in the sky.
“Master, if you don’t come back, my father will go out to look for you.”
When Wei Lai heard that she was back, he came to the door excitedly and gave her a basket of apples:
“This is the only fresh one left. The apple cider vinegar we brewed last year sold well. This year, all the apples at home were taken to the brewery to make vinegar by my dad.”
Apple cider vinegar?
Xu Yin's heart moved. The six apple trees next to the holiday cabin were in their peak fruiting period or because they had been watered several times with lake water containing spiritual mist. This year's harvest was really gratifying - the six trees harvested more than a thousand kilograms of apples.
By next year, the newly planted apple trees on the east coast will also begin to bear fruit, and I won’t be able to finish them all.
With such a good taste, we are reluctant to sell it to buyers, so we might as well process it into apple cider vinegar. It’s good to drink it yourself or keep it to give away later. Apple cider vinegar is good for your skin.
“Is the processing fee expensive?”
“The more you make, the cheaper it will be,” Wei Lai said. “So my dad used all the apples harvested this year to make vinegar. It’s more cost-effective than selling them directly to buyers.”
Xu Yin knew it: "Then I will make some apple cider vinegar next time."
“If you want to brew it, you can do it now. The salesman from the vinegar factory is still at my house.”
Hearing this, Xu Yin followed him to the mayor's house and picked up a basket of seafood.
"Sean is back?" The mayor saw her and poured her a glass of juice with a few milliliters of apple cider vinegar. "Did Willie tell you? The food factory in Beidao sent a salesman to look for you a few days ago. , since you weren’t here, I left a phone number.”
"food factory?"
Xu Yin was puzzled when she heard this.
Haven’t the food factory finished picking up all the grain they pre-purchased? The food payment has also been settled clearly.
“Oh, look at my memory!” Willie knocked on his head, “I forgot about the main thing.”
…”
"Yes, yes! It's here with me." Willai took out the note with the phone number from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin took the note and was not in a hurry to answer the phone. She asked the mayor about apple cider vinegar first. Hearing that she also wanted to make apple cider vinegar, the mayor laughed heartily: "What's so difficult about this? I still have a batch of apples to make vinegar. The vinegar factory will send a car over soon to weigh them on site. You can Just bring the apples to my house and brew them with my own, so you can save some processing fees."
Xu Yin makes a small amount of wine, so the processing fee is much more expensive if it is processed by a vinegar factory alone.
After thanking the mayor, Xu Yin first borrowed his home phone to call the food factory.
“Ms. Sean? Are you back from going out?”
The person who answered the phone was the purchasing manager of the food factory. After greeting Xu Yin, he transferred the call to the factory director's office. It was the factory director who was really looking for her.
The export trade volume of food factories this year not only did not fall, but actually increased.
The total turnover has caught up with several other food companies larger than theirs. This trend was unexpected by the factory director.
But recently, he heard that several other food factories were asking technicians to study new products launched by their own factories.
How should I put it? Food is a thing. The formula is important, but it is not a panacea. As long as you are thick-skinned enough and shamelessly borrow other people's products, you can produce similar products by copying a cat's imitation.
"Ms. Sean, it's not that I don't have confidence in the products of our factory, but... those companies are old companies with larger scale and better brands than our factory. If the same products are put on the market, customers will most likely choose them first. , and even think that ours is counterfeit. This year we have won by novelty and made a turnaround. It may be difficult to maintain this trade volume next year. I am contacting you to ask if you have any other dim sum recipes. Is that so? I will still use the grain purchase amount in exchange, and the amount can be larger. This time I plan to add a production line and try to open up foreign trade sales in the shortest time, so as not to give them time to imitate."
Xu Yin: Are you getting a taste of the sweetness and coming to her for advice?
Of course she has food recipes.
Exchange it for the amount of grain purchased, right? also! After the new year, the province will have to worry about buyers running out of sales.
This time, Xu Yin simply thought of a few food recipes that can consume a large amount of wheat flour, potatoes, and oats—
Frozen semi-finished pizza, frozen semi-finished French fries, frozen milk-flavored oatmeal buns.
One prescription is exchanged for a purchase volume of 3,000 tons, and the three prescriptions total 9,000 tons, which can be cashed out in three years.
Three years later, when the food factory purchases grain, priority will be given to Cook Town Farm on the premise of the same price and quality.
For Cook Town, the annual grain output of all farms is less than 3,000 tons, but it doesn’t matter. You can ask the farm in the next town to purchase. The farm in the next town is eager for them to buy it.
And the food factory is determined to make an instant success this time, trying to get their factory's brand name out and let the domestic and foreign markets know that these products are the brand name of their factory! They don't want those established companies to follow them and take advantage.
Since it is mutually beneficial to both parties, there is nothing to hesitate about. The food factory sent someone as soon as possible to sign an agreement with Xu Yin and get the formula.
Xu Yin also told the mayor about the future food sales in Cook Town.
The mayor was shocked: "In the first three years, 3,000 tons a year? Doesn't that mean we don't have to change careers?"
Originally, he planned to make an agreement with several other farms to switch to raising Angus beef cattle next year.
Xu Yin: "...Well, if you are sure you want to change careers, I will ask the farm in the next town for procurement."
…”
The mayor was confused.
To be honest, his family has always been running a farm. Who would want to change careers when they are safe and secure? It’s not because the farm is in recession. Thanks to Sean, it can be sold at the normal price this year. What about next year? What if it hits your hand? I also saw that Sean’s Angus beef cattle were raised well, and he worked diligently on the ranch, and the efficiency was no worse than that of the farm, so he decided to change his career.
