Chapter 190 Isn't it embarrassing?
Lu Qingyuan didn't know that he had been mistaken for a driver. Following Xia Anan's instructions, he parked the car in an open space close to Xia Anan's office.
At this time, all the employees in the factory are at work. There is hardly any talking in the entire yard, only the roar of machines.
"How is it? The environment of our processing plant is pretty good, right?"
"It's quite nice, quite big, and quite clean, but I don't know what it's like inside."
Lu Qingyuan could not deny that he was very surprised. The gluten factory in Beijing was simply not on the same level as this factory.
But there are still some minor shortcomings, it is too remote and the road outside is too bad.
"Come on, I'll show you around the warehouse first!"
Xia Anan walked on her own territory, her back straightened a little, and walked in front of the two people to introduce them.
“Not far in front of us was the factory cafeteria, where the employees ate. To my right was the warehouse, the largest one for storing potatoes.
Because the main product here is potatoes, we purchase the most potatoes, but we have fewer employees now, so we don’t consume a lot of potatoes. We will have to clean up the new warehouse in a few days.”
After all, the product has not been officially launched yet, so there is no need to rush.
"The smaller warehouse next to it was used to store konjac. At the time, we offered them the same price as potatoes. Many people were afraid that we would run away, so they would sell us any konjac they dug up, so they were not very big."
Xia Anan thought that they would start planting konjac next year and the yield would be guaranteed.
Speaking of konjac, Xia Anan thought of one thing, "Let me tell you, the konjac in our factory has become very beautiful now, white and tender, completely different from the black konjac before, and it also has a special shape, I'll show you later."
She walked in front and told the two people the story in vivid detail.
Lu Qingyuan said: "Don't just say it, remember to let us taste it later."
"Of course. If no one else wants to try it, we have to let Boss Lu try it first."
These words touched Boss Lu's heart. It was not what he wanted to eat, but what Xia Anan wanted him to eat.
He couldn't refuse the kindness. The other person wanted him to taste it. If he didn't agree, he would lose face.
Lu Qingyuan felt that he was very considerate. He followed Xia Anan inside and soon arrived at the door of the warehouse.
The moment he opened the door, he saw countless potatoes. It was the first time in Lu Qingyuan's life that he had seen so many potatoes. He was stunned for a moment.
Not to mention Xia Baobao, who was seeing this scene for the first time. He was stunned and whispered, "So many potatoes..."
Even though Lu Qingyuan was mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked when he saw so many potatoes.
He bent down and opened a bag of potatoes, picked out a relatively large one, weighed it twice, and muttered, "Not bad, not bad..."
Xia Anan was a little proud. They had watched as these potatoes were harvested one by one with their own eyes, so they must be good.
Because we are very careful when purchasing, there are not many damaged potatoes. Even if they are kept in the warehouse, they will not go bad in a short time.
After looking at the potatoes, the only thing left is the konjac warehouse.
Compared with the potatoes just now, konjac doesn’t look as good. The skin is black and even bumpy, which looks a bit ugly.
"Is this what you brought home? Why does it look like this?"
Lu Qingyuan remembered what she had said before about it being poisonous. Not to mention being poisonous, he didn't even want to eat something that looked so ugly even if it wasn't poisonous.
"Although this konjac may not look very good, it should taste good, right? Isn't it enough that it tastes good? Don't judge a book by its cover."
Lu Qingyuan didn't comment and changed the subject, "Where is your finished product? It's been so long and I still haven't seen what it looks like."
"The finished products are of course placed in a cold storage dedicated to finished products. Come with me."
The potato flour is vacuum-packed and placed in boxes on the shelves, looking very neat. The processed konjac is also packaged, but in a different way: it is soaked in water.
"This is made of potato flour and potato starch. It tastes great when eaten in hot pot or boiled. As for konjac, it has no taste. The important thing is the texture. How you season it determines its taste."
Lu Qingyuan picked up a bag of konjac and looked at it again and again, "Is this the same one I ate before? Why does it look nothing like it?"
The konjac has turned snow-white at this moment, and looks somewhat similar to tripe.
If Lu Qingyuan had not eaten the first batch of konjac before, he really couldn't imagine that the thing in the bag now was the same thing.
It looks better and should taste better too.
"We've finished looking at this warehouse. Don't you have an office? Take us there to rest."
"Yes, of course. My office is the largest in the factory. Although it's not as good as Mr. Lu's office, it has everything it needs."
Although Xia Anan had never been to Lu Qingyuan's office, she had taken a video when Xia Baobao went there before. Although not much footage was revealed, it could be seen that it was very luxurious.
But her own isn’t bad either!
Xia Anan opened the door and saw that the largest object in the room was the desk, followed by the water dispenser in the corner and a folding bed in another corner.
At first glance, the table in the middle looks shabby.
Lu Qingyuan took a deep breath and said, "This is the most luxurious office in your factory. Are you sure you are not kidding me?"
Xia Anan rubbed her nose and said, "Isn't this good? It has everything it needs, and it's very big."
Lu Qingyuan sat down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water. "You, you, you, are you out of money?"
"Why do you say that?" Xia Anan was puzzled.
"You are the boss, and your office is the face of your factory. If you don't clean it up properly, won't people laugh at you when they come to discuss cooperation?"
Xia Anan didn't expect this. Their processing factory doesn't need any cooperation now. The products they make are all for supplying the snack street, but there are still many people seeking cooperation.
Seeing her silence, Lu Qingyuan continued: "Did I hit the point? I brought this up not for your enjoyment, but for the sake of your company."
When I didn’t have money, I was able to manage well in such a small house.
How come you have money now but still can’t learn to be nicer to yourself?
Xia Anan nodded: "What you said does make sense. I'll ask Pei Yuanbai to clean up his office and prepare a conference room for the meeting."
Lu Qingyuan was speechless and could only tell himself that Xia Anan would not be able to stay here for long and would have to return to Beijing City, so it didn't matter if the conditions were tough...
