223: Chapter 223 Planning Production 223: Chapter 223 Planning Production An hour later, Wu Xiaoyu ca out of the Longhe Town bus station, stretched his lazy body, and began to stroll around the town.
He first circled around Juxian Inn, seeing the discount sign still hanging outside but with only a few custors inside, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Chen Zhaofeng was standing at the door, trying to attract custors, but seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s disdainful sneer made him even more furious, though he was helpless.
Having painstakingly managed his business for over a dozen years, he couldn’t believe he was outdone by a restaurant that had just opened.
Besides his anger, he couldn’t help but wonder if he was getting old and couldn’t keep up with the younger generation.
Seeing the decline in Chen Zhaofeng’s business, Wu Xiaoyu felt satisfied and headed to Jiji.
As soon as he entered the bustling place, he noticed that it was already packed with people.
The waitress Xiaoyu saw Wu Xiaoyu co in and hurriedly stepped forward, smiling as she said, “Mr.
Wu, you didn’t bring your foodie friend with you today?”
Foodie friend?
Wu Xiaoyu thought of Master Ma’s eating manner that day and couldn’t help but chuckle, jokingly said, “If he ca every day, I would go bankrupt.
I wouldn’t even be able to pay you your salary!”
“Oh, you’re kidding!
Our restaurant is thriving.
How could it be brought down by being eaten bankrupt?
You always joke with !” Xiaoyu laughed.
After so playful banter with Xiaoyu, Wu Xiaoyu went upstairs to look for Zhou Dong.
Zhou Dong was standing in the second-floor hallway.
Seeing Wu Xiaoyu sneak upstairs, he quickly whistled, catching his attention before pointing to a private room beside him.
As they entered the room, Zhou Dong complained, “The private room we left as an office space has been completely occupied by Li Qianqian!”
The presence of Li Qianqian also troubled Wu Xiaoyu.
Knowing neither her family’s contact number nor how to get rid of her, she stayed in the restaurant watching dramas and consuming food.
“Alright, just bear with it a bit longer,” Wu Xiaoyu sighed helplessly.
Zhou Dong saw that he was also helpless, so he started discussing Jiji’s business with Wu Xiaoyu.
Recently, Jiji added breakfast items, quickly eliminating the only advantage Juxian Inn had.
For lunch and dinner, with the discount on free-range chicken, Juxian Inn was even more unable to compete with Jiji.
These days, Juxian Inn’s business has beco increasingly bleak, worse than before the discounts.
Zhou Dong was passionately explaining Jiji’s advantages to Wu Xiaoyu when Wu Xiaoyu’s phone rang.
It was a call from Bai Yun.
Wu Xiaoyu answered the call angrily, demanding, “Miss Bai, before introducing Red Star Machinery Factory to , did you ever work with them?”
“I just bought their equipnt, and it broke down before I even used it.
I asked them to send soone to repair it, but the repairman not only treated to a feast but also asked for travel expenses!”
Bai Yun found it hard to believe.
Her family’s several factories had always used Red Star Machinery Factory’s equipnt without ever encountering such issues.
“Are you sure you found the right Red Star Machinery Factory?” Bai Yun questioned.
“Do you think I’m stupid, Bai Yun?
Is there a second Red Star Machinery Factory in Sacred Land County?
I’m not entirely blaming you, just giving you a heads-up not to get scamd by them,” Wu Xiaoyu replied.
Knowing that Wu Xiaoyu never caused trouble recklessly, Bai Yun realized there must be a problem if he said there was.
It was ti to reassess the factory’s credibility.
“Okay, I got it.
I will have people contact them.
If their product quality and service attitude have issues, I will terminate our future cooperation with them!” Bai Yun responded.
Hearing her resolute attitude and her deanor as a strong career woman, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but feel sowhat moved.
“Oh!
Right, let’s not talk about this.
My grandpa has sothing to ask of you!” Bai Yun suddenly changed the topic.
Hearing that Bai Kainan had a request, Wu Xiaoyu quickly said, “As long as it doesn’t involve going through fire or water, anything else is fine!”
Righteously, Bai Yun said, “It’s like this, my grandpa wants you to accompany him to soone’s birthday celebration, and…
possibly check on soone’s health.”
dical concerns?
Wu Xiaoyu excelled in that.
Considering Bai Kainan’s status, what kind of person would need his help?
Relying on the Bai Yun family’s chain supermarkets to sell his mushroom sauce, he couldn’t refuse the invitation.
Moreover, Bai Kainan, once a war hero, asked him to help soone.
He couldn’t turn it down.
After accepting Bai Yun’s invitation, chatting with Zhou Dong for a while, he slipped downstairs and walked ho.
Returning to Daxin Village, he didn’t go ho imdiately but went straight to the sauce factory.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he slled the rich aroma of mushroom sauce.
Seeing him return, Wu Youliang quickly stepped forward, carefully looking him up and down, asking concernly, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!
What could possibly be wrong?” Wu Xiaoyu replied confidently.
Cooking the sauce, Li Yujia glanced at him without knowing where he had been the day before and then ignored him.
Seeing so many people around, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t explain himself to her, so he asked, “Jiajia, how much of this mushroom sauce have we made?”
Although Li Yujia knew he was trying to talk to her intentionally, she couldn’t ignore him.
Glancing at the piled-up boxes in the corner, she said, “We’ve produced about twenty boxes in the past two days.”
Twenty boxes, about five to six hundred pounds, made in just under two days, was quite efficient for a few people.
“Alright, that’s enough!
Finish this batch and stop for now.
I will take so to the county tomorrow to discuss sales with the supermarkets,” Wu Xiaoyu instructed.
Knowing they could finish work early today, everyone’s enthusiasm increased, except for the still gloomy Li Yujia.
Wu Xiaoyu silently gave her a few pleading looks.
Only when she saw him begging did her expression soften, and once she seed placated, Wu Xiaoyu led his father to discuss production schedules.
Even though the mushroom sauce process was set, without sales channels, producing too much was risky.
Having worked in a slaughterhouse for over ten years, Wu Youliang understood the impact of inventory on a factory and agreed to slow down production.
After days on the go, even soone as strong as Wu Xiaoyu felt exhausted.
Giving his father a few simple instructions, he went ho to rest.
At ho, after greeting his mother, he retreated to his room, locking the door and chanting the spell to enter the Jade Token.
Entering the Jade Token, he felt completely relaxed.
Taking a few deep breaths, he felt an unparalleled comfort—rare tranquility.
He strolled to the Spiritual Spring, sat beside the Chicken Blood Stone, and began practicing the Yin Yang Longevity Technique.
Having been out for days, he hadn’t practiced for three or four days.
After practicing the first and second levels, every pore on his body opened up, imrsing in the rich spiritual energy, making him feel even stronger.
After taking a leisurely walk inside the Jade Token, herding so pigs and chickens, he ca out, and his mother was already calling him for lunch.
After lunch, with nothing else to do, Wu Xiaoyu headed to the thatched hut on the mountain to make Spirit Talismans.
