Chapter 1519: Chapter 1394: Packing Up the Beef
The group chat was in an uproar, but the Song Family had no idea. They were currently being directed around by Seventh Uncle!
Such a huge cow, specifically chosen as a crossbreed back then. When it reached the optimal size, Niuniu offered itself up as sacrifice, weighing over a thousand pounds.
And yet, no matter how much they could eat, it was impossible to finish it all in one sitting.
No choice then, Seventh Uncle selected different cuts of at to take ho and cook fresh, while the rest couldn’t be imdiately stuffed into the fridge. Right now, Qiaoqiao was focused on finishing her howork and didn’t want to see Niuniu being slaughtered.
So, only the strong ones, Song Tan and Lun Chuan, put on work clothes—Lun Chuan had never worn such clothes in his life! Even when he went to the market to buy vegetables, he wouldn’t engage in such hands-on tasks.
What kind of hands-on task? you ask.
The at that couldn’t be finished in one go was taken into the processing room, then carried to the factory, and hung upside down in the low-temperature cold storage.
According to Seventh Uncle, this would remove the sour taste. Once that’s done, tomorrow they’d need to quickly cut the at, vacuum pack it, and freeze it in the cold cabinet.
The factory’s cold cabinet is comrcial-grade, minus 17°, perfect for storing various ats. With proper vacuum sealing, the quality wouldn’t be affected for months—
As they reached this point, Song Tan hooked the giant hooks, musing, "Will this cow last a few months?"
Lasting until next month would an everyone ate modestly and sparingly!
Ti was tight today, but tomorrow they’d have most of the at handled, and they’d need to send so to Uncle and Auntie, and also to Boss Tang for a taste, which would help with price negotiations.
So, hoping the at would last until next week was a stretch!
Lun Chuan, working alongside, couldn’t help but laugh: "Knowing Seventh Uncle’s high standards for good ingredients, even if we’re eating it tomorrow, he won’t skip a single step today."
"Besides, you’re the one enjoying the delicacies, so don’t complain."
Song Tan looked down at his PU work clothes: "I just don’t like wearing this."
Although the ice storage in the factory was temporarily unused, every ti they ca and went, they had to pass through a disinfection chamber, which was quite cumberso. Not to ntion Lun Chuan, who hadn’t taken his mask off since entering.
However, after all the hard work, thinking about the special Chaoshan beef hotpot prepared by Seventh Master made everything worth it. Even Zhang Yanping, who accidentally rubbed chili in his eyes and was now teary-eyed, couldn’t dampen the heart of a foodie!
"What price do you plan to set for this at?"
After tidying up, the two changed out of their clothes while chatting.
Song Tan shook his head: "I’m not sure, I haven’t sold beef before. I plan to research the market rates."
Lun Chuan couldn’t help laughing: "What market research? Follow other professional breeders and price it at 8 yuan per pound live weight? Once you taste it, you should just set the price based on your judgnt."
Song Tan laughed too: "I was just saying. If looking for reference, aren’t the vegetables at ho enough of a reference? Anyway, radishes don’t sell for 20 cents per pound."
But before the beef sells, she had to settle a bonus for Chen Xi and Chen Chi—they helped with the slaughter, and this bonus was agreed upon separately.
But now she hesitated: "Xin Jun’s salary increased, and based on the cow and sheep sell plan, Chen Xi and Chen Chi’s salaries should also increase. I’m thinking, why not increase salaries across the board?"
She calculated. Not counting the earliest hires like Zhang Yanping, but the security team on the mountain and Yan Ran have been very dedicated. Master Jiang too, preparing big als without any perfunctory attitude, and also being generous when Teacher Qiaoqiao asked for recipes.
It’s truly comndable.
Lun Chuan thought: "I don’t have much experience in HR managent—however, with a farm at ho, you’ll eventually encounter more employees. There’s a cost to trial and error, so why not boldly follow your instincts?"
He pondered: "Last ti, the recruitnt tricks Boss Chang talked about made sense, but reasonable salary increases are outside those cases!"
"For instance, Teacher Xin, he truly deserves it."
Song Tan thought of Qiaoqiao’s current deanor, and how she used to be a crying boy claiming to grow corn to support her when she first returned to her hotown. She couldn’t help but feel deep gratitude.
Thankful for Rich Qianqian!
If not for her romance bringing Xin Jun here, who knows what her dear Qiaoqiao would have beco!
Since that’s the case!
"Raise it!"
Song Tan made the decision: "Anyone who’s worked over two months, they all get a raise!"
However, these raises wouldn’t be as drastic as Teacher Xin’s, just small steps. Even so, Song Tan decided to make a good plan.
As Secretary Xiaozu said, talent must be retained, and the drive to move forward must be maintained.
Also—
"Since we’re giving raises, it’s a happy occasion. I’ll tell Master Jiang later to bring so beef to marinate tomorrow, and give everyone an extra al."
At this mont, suddenly hearing this news, everyone: ...
Top Brother Nian Xu opened his phone again, without saying much, posted an exciting topic in the group—
[Sigh! I’m so embarrassed, I’m not even skilled at picking vegetables, why did I suddenly get a raise? Anyway, since it’s done, tomorrow we’re having marinated beef for everyone...]
This ti, no colleagues laughed at him. Instead, they all comnted below:
[Exactly! Beef noodle soup today, marinated beef tomorrow. The food is so good, I’m feeling a bit guilty.]
[Why suddenly the raise? I feel my work is just average.]
[Even though we’re picking vegetables while live streaming and chatting with everyone, our hands can’t slow down. Let’s have a challenge tonight.]
[Um... do you really want to discuss this? I just want to ask whether the marinated beef is spicy or original? Is it beef shank or what part of the beef?]
The group chat: ...
[Damn! Even picking vegetables makes you all excited!]
[Ah, I’m not satisfied! I watched the pig slaughter! Why not the cow! I can pick a cow, let
see!]
[No way, during the pig slaughter, there were many people, and the cara wasn’t focused, so the livestream continued. But if we focus on the cow slaughter, it might not pass approval.]
[Goodness, it’s beef! Qiaoqiao’s family beef! I drooled in my dreams after the Laba Pork Feast, and now I’m going crazy for beef!]
[Exactly! Such a big cow, Baobao, you can’t finish it all. Why not sell it!]
[Yeah, yeah! Beef is so expensive now, buying it costs a fortune—so, Teacher Qiaoqiao, why isn’t the purchase link up yet!]
[Do you underestimate our purchasing power?]
