Chapter 127 Yu Mei Opens a Soy Sauce Factory (Buying a Diesel Tricycle to Sell Soy Sauce)

Yu Mei and Li Xin went to the provincial capital to learn how to make soy sauce. She happened to hear an advertisement for soy sauce making on her black-and-white television at home.

The two learned soy sauce making techniques in the provincial capital, spending only one day in class and then staying overnight at a hotel. The next day, they returned to their home in Qishi, bringing back the production techniques and a small machine for making soy sauce.

Yu Mei and Li Xin returned to the suburbs of the town with their equipment and high expectations. They immediately found an empty house and set up the small machine. The residents of the community gathered around curiously, pointing and commenting on this novel gadget.

Yu Mei cleared her throat and said, "Hello everyone, we've never had a proper industry here. Li Xin and I went out to learn how to make soy sauce, so we'll be able to have our own soy sauce in the future." Everyone was skeptical.

In the days that followed, the two carefully prepared the ingredients and operated the machines according to what they had learned. However, the soy sauce they made at first always tasted wrong.

Just when they were feeling discouraged, Yu Mei remembered some details mentioned in a TV commercial. So she readjusted the recipe proportions and, after many attempts, finally made a soy sauce with a bright red color and rich aroma.

After the news spread, people from surrounding villages and towns came to buy. Yu Mei and Li Xin decided to expand the business and also recruited unemployed laborers from the villages and towns to help.

The small soy sauce factory gradually developed into a well-known local specialty industry, which also changed the poor and backward appearance of the entire suburbs.

Then, Yu Mei taught the workers the entire assembly line operation, a self-production and self-sales assembly line work.

They only learned the theoretical aspects of soy sauce making in the provincial capital; they didn't get to see any practical demonstrations. Back home, Yu Mei could only rely on her natural intelligence and quick thinking to learn through trial and error during production.

Then they stopped a small group of people from collecting empty glass bottles from the recycling station. There was also someone scavenging for scrap and delivering empty, old soy sauce bottles to the soy sauce factory. After cleaning and disinfection, the bottles were used, labeled, and weighted.

Yu Mei took a bundle of 12 bottles tied together with white rope from the convenience store. Yu Mi watched carefully for a few seconds and then figured out how to tie them.

She deliberately showed Chen Lixin how to tie the bottles, and once he had learned, she asked him to teach the workers how to tie each of the 12 bottles filled with soy sauce.

He stared at it for over half an hour, but before he could get it right, he opened the one he'd gotten from the convenience store. He tried to take it apart, but he couldn't figure out how to reassemble it. He just couldn't get it all tied back together. Yu Mei stood beside him, secretly smiling.

Chen Lixin was still unwilling to give up and continued to work hard to make a piece. In the end, Yu Mei snatched it away. Without hesitation, she quickly tied one piece in just a few minutes and then let Chen Lixin take it back to the store.

Chen Lixin concluded with a laugh, "Yu Mei is truly a woman of talent! I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful and talented woman as my wife."

A few days later, Lixin bought a diesel tricycle. He drove it himself, and Yumei personally acted as a salesperson to wholesale soy sauce from the convenience store.

This sales job is really difficult. Lixin tried taking a bottle of soy sauce made in their factory to every small shop owner to sell it, but they immediately came out with a sullen face and refused to buy it.

Wherever Yu Mei went, if she could tell the shopkeeper was interested in something, she would definitely place an order. Then she would fill the truck with soy sauce, whether it was in glass bottles or plastic bags, and sell it all before returning to the factory empty.

Yu Mei rented a large courtyard, with a series of more than a dozen red brick and tile houses connected by ridges, to use as a soy sauce factory.

Each room has its own set of workflow tools.

Everything is ready except for one crucial element: the business license. Also, the health status and hygiene permits of all the soy sauce factory's employees are needed!

As a result of their greed, a customer surnamed Wang who ate Yu Mei's "Xiang Da" soy sauce said that he was vomiting and having diarrhea all day long, and he became skin and bones.

Then, after a series of investigations from the local police station to the court's Liu Chengsheng reception hall, the truth finally came to light. It turned out that the man surnamed Wang who had fallen ill was actually being used by the owner of a newly opened soy sauce factory surnamed Shi to deliberately frame Yu Mei's factory.

Then the case was solved and the incident was exposed. Boss Shi, who was in the same business, was detained for more than ten days. After being released after being fined, he still did not repent and once again accused Yu Mei Factory of being an illegal soy sauce factory.

Yu Mei was furious when she learned of this, but she knew that getting angry wouldn't solve the problem. After discussing it with Li Xin, they decided to suspend production and actively cooperate with the relevant departments' inspection. They took the factory workers to apply for health certificates and carried out a comprehensive overhaul of the factory to meet hygiene standards.

Next, Yu Mei collected and organized various records from the previous production process and product testing reports to prove that there was no problem with the quality of her soy sauce.

Faced with malicious accusations from a competitor, Yu Mei went directly to the competitor's boss and warned him that if he continued this unfair competition, she would take legal action to protect her rights.

Afterwards, Yu Mei and Li Xin took all the paperwork and went back to the various convenience store owners, explaining the truth and showing them the relevant proof. Many owners were moved by their sincerity and reordered the soy sauce.

Yumei also launched a tasting event, allowing more people to experience truly delicious and safe soy sauce. Gradually, the soy sauce factory's reputation returned to normal, and business flourished even more.

In order to win over Yu Mei's long-time customers, the owner of a soy sauce factory surnamed Shi sent someone to Yu Mei's regular customers' convenience stores with a specially blended, silky soy sauce bottle to promote the product.

Then, Yu Mei's regular customers were deceived and bought Boss Shi's soy sauce. However, the quality of the soy sauce they received was completely different from what the door-to-door salesman had presented. Later, the soy sauce was unintentionally sold to every customer. The customers did not feel well after consuming it and ended up demanding compensation from Boss Shi.

Meanwhile, Mr. Shi, the businessman who had caused trouble, suffered a decline in business after losing his reputation, and eventually went bankrupt and closed down.

Then, in order to retain her old customers, Yu Mei specially took out some compensation money to give to those who had been deceived.

After that, regular customers returned to Yumei's soy sauce factory to restock.

Just as everyone's business was booming, on a Sunday morning in summer, the whole family gathered in the courtyard of Yumei Soy Sauce Factory to celebrate Liu Shulan's 66th birthday.

It just so happened that Yu Han was the head chef, and she made several top-quality dishes, which were also Yu Mei's two daughters' favorites, such as "Guo Bao Rou" (sweet and sour pork), "Gua Jiang Tu Dou" (pickled melon and ginger potatoes), "Di San Xian" (three kinds of potatoes and green peppers), and "Hong Shao Rou" (braised pork)! In addition, we ordered six more top-quality dishes from a fancy restaurant in town, whose names I don't know!

A large table was set up in the courtyard, and Yu Han wanted to treat everyone to this meal. Yu Mei also suggested going to a big restaurant in town. Later, Liu Shulan said that she preferred to have fun in her own courtyard, and Liu Shuqin nodded in agreement. So the two cousins, Yu Han and Yu Mei, agreed.

When everyone was halfway through their meal at the large dining table in the courtyard, the world suddenly went dizzy and made cracking sounds. Liu Shulan and Liu Shuqin, being the older ones, knew what bad things were about to happen, so they told everyone in the courtyard and the factory to run to the open space outside the gate.

When all the dozens of people in the courtyard ran to the open space by the road, the dizziness became even more intense. The dozens of people huddled together tightly, and in an instant, the house collapsed and there was only deathly silence!
