Chapter 563: Five hundred and sixty-one, trial production

Wu Yuan stepped out of the bathroom and saw Li Tingyao sitting on the bed reading a military magazine. She approached, lifted the covers, and climbed into bed. "Old Li, I went to Instructor Lu’s newly bought house today."

Li Tingyao nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the military magazine in his hands, not looking up or showing any sign of questioning.

"They’ve made the place really beautiful now." Seeing that Li Tingyao didn’t speak, Wu Yuan continued on her own. After being married to him for so many years, she naturally understood that he was the type of person you couldn’t get a word out of, even with a good beating.

"Hmm," Li Tingyao nodded again.

"You should find time to take a look, you’d definitely like it there. If only I could live in a place like that," Wu Yuan said, her face filled with longing.

This time, Li Tingyao finally lifted his head, looking at Wu Yuan in surprise. "Aren’t you afraid?" Just the other day, she had told him that the house Luo Shu bought was haunted, and the thought alone scared her from visiting. How could she change her mind so quickly? Women really are fickle.

"Wasn’t I just too scared to go inside before?" Wu Yuan rolled her eyes at Li Tingyao. With so many people saying how scary it was, it was natural for her to be afraid as a woman. Now it was different, she liked the place too much to be scared!

Li Tingyao chuckled and shook his head, then turned his attention back to the magazine.

Seeing that Li Tingyao was ignoring her, Wu Yuan simply lay down and closed her eyes. A woman is like a book, and a man like a pig; she didn’t hold out hope for her pig to understand her.

Luo Shu drove the car, taking Zhang Xiaoling and four others, delivering all of today’s cakes and then bringing them to her newly purchased house.

Zhou Yan and the other three were originally a bit nervous, after all, the rumors were really frightening, but upon seeing the house, all their fear turned into surprise.

"This place is really beautiful!"

"Isn’t it? I love it here so much."

"Luckily, I stayed, or I would have missed out on this view. They’ll definitely regret it later on."

"Working in such a beautiful place, I feel so lucky!"

"Those two rooms are our workshops," Zhang Xiaoling pointed to the house on the right, speaking to the four still looking around. They hadn’t seen the view of the backyard yet; otherwise, who knows how excited they would have become?

Arriving at the workshop where the machines were located, seeing the machines got Zhou Yan and the others excited again.

Luo Shu brought out alcohol, rags, gloves, and masks, distributing them to Zhou Yan’s group. "Clean the machines first, sanitation is very important for food products." For a food enterprise to grow big, cleanliness must come first.

"Okay!" Zhou Yan and her team nodded and smiled in agreement.

"Sister-in-law Wu, Sister-in-law Xianglan, Sister Zhou Yan, Sister Chunni, you are the factory’s first batch of employees. From now on, each of you will earn fifty yuan a month. When new workers come, you four will lead them. Sister Zhou Yan is in charge of mixing the ingredients, Sister Chunni is responsible for making the batter, Sister-in-law Wu will handle the baking, and Sister-in-law Xianglan will take care of packaging. Do you have any questions?" Zhang Xiaoling looked at the four and asked. This was something she and Luo Shu had already arranged beforehand.

The faces of Zhou Yan’s group were filled with joy as they looked at Zhang Xiaoling, and even after she finished speaking, they still hadn’t snapped out of it. Fifty yuan! Wasn’t that more than what their men brought home?

"Do you have any objections?" Seeing that the four just stared at her, Zhang Xiaoling asked again.

"No! No objections at all! This is just too surprising; it’s truly an amazing surprise!" The four women shook their heads vigorously, as if worried that if they moved any slower, Zhang Xiaoling might change her mind.

"Then it’s settled. Once you have finished disinfecting the machines, we’ll start with the trial cake making," Zhang Xiaoling said with a smile. She was now full of energy!

Once the machines were disinfected, Zhang Xiaoling began instructing them on how to use the machines, as she had already read the detailed manual. The machinery was simple to operate, and she had learned how to use it just by watching.

Zhang Xiaoling shared the ingredient ratios with Zhou Yan. Having worked with Zhou Yan for over a month, she knew she was an honest person and wouldn’t blab about the mixtures even if she knew them. Therefore, when she saw that Zhou Yan had stayed, she decided to entrust this critical step to her.

Zhou Yan learned attentively. She was touched that Zhang Xiaoling held her in such high regard.

With everyone’s joint efforts, the first batch of cakes made by the machines came out of the oven, emitting an enticing aroma.

Looking at the round, freshly baked small cakes, everyone showed happy smiles on their faces.

"Everyone, try the cakes and see if they’re good," Zhang Xiaoling said to Zhou Yan’s group.

"Okay!" Zhou Yan and the others responded, each picking up a piece of cake to taste.

"The cakes are softer now."

"It’s so smooth. Handmade cakes can’t even compare to these."

"Delicious!"

"Sister-in-law Yang, with our current speed of making cakes, it won’t be a problem to make thousands of pounds in one day."

Now there were three ovens, each with four layers inside and four trays baking together. Roughly every twenty minutes, a batch could be finished, yielding almost fifty to sixty pounds each time. It’s time-saving and labor-saving.

Zhang Xiaoling was also beaming. She hadn’t expected that the production speed would increase more than tenfold after introducing machinery. And now, not only had the speed of baking cakes improved, but the process of making the batter was quicker too. As soon as the mixing machine started, a large tub of batter would be ready in less than two minutes. She no longer had to endure the arm aches from mixing batter like before.

However, her goal wasn’t just the Northwest; it was the entire Huaxia market. She wanted her ’Love to Eat Cake’ brand to resonate throughout Huaxia. Previously, this goal seemed as unlikely as grabbing the moon from water, but as her orders kept increasing, her confidence grew. She believed that with hard work, she could certainly achieve her dream.

Looking at everyone with a smile, Zhang Xiaoling confidently said, "Let’s work hard! Our ’Love to Eat Cake’ will definitely get better and better."

"We’ll follow you and Sister-in-law Lu, and will stick with you through all of it." At first, they were just hoping to make some extra money to supplement the household. But now, they began to anticipate a better future. This decision might turn out to be a turning point in their lives.

After distributing tasks to Zhou Yan’s group, Zhang Xiaoling walked out of the house and saw Luo Shu sitting under a tree, drinking tea. She walked over and sat opposite her, bubbling with excitement. "With the machines, our production is so high, we’ll definitely achieve our goal."
