Chapter 286 Prevention
Now, Wen Qing likes to stay in the vineyard in the space the most. She goes to see the growth of grapes every day and cuts off excess branches and leaves. The grapes in the space can mature once every three months or so. The green grapes hang on the branches. Every few days, Wen Qing turns over each bunch of grapes to allow them to be evenly exposed to sunlight and wind.
It takes an entire night to turn over the twenty acres of vineyard. Wen Qing's workload is very heavy, but no alternative tools have been found for this job yet.
There are now various tillers, seeders, harvesters, tractors and complete equipment in the space. Wen Qing now completes a lot of farming work by driving these machines, which is time-consuming and labor-saving.
After Wen Qing continued to optimize the seeds, the yield per mu of land gradually increased. Now the average yield per mu of sorghum has reached 770 kilograms, and the average yield per mu of rice is 450 kilograms, which is not worse than the hybrid rice outside. Especially for soybeans, she uses traditional Chinese seeds, and now the yield per mu is 1200 kilograms, which is not lower than the yield of genetically modified soybeans in the United States.
When Wen Qing sold the grain to the winery, she requested that workshop one be used first. The wine brewed there has always tasted better than that from workshops two and three in the new factory area. She wanted to make workshop one the trump card of Changxia Winery.
After doing all this, Wen Qing returned to the small bamboo building and saw Xiao Feng'er still sleeping soundly. She picked her up, fed her milk, changed her diaper, and then the mother and daughter left the space.
Early in the morning, Wen Qing woke up and went out of the room. She saw that Mrs. Liu had already prepared breakfast. Wen Qing ate breakfast and tidied up the room. Xiao Feng'er also woke up. After tidying up Xiao Feng'er, Wen Qing handed the child to Mrs. Liu and went out to buy groceries.
After coming back from shopping, Wen Qing told Sister Liu that she was going to work and drove to the Meat Processing Factory, now called Changxia Food Factory.
They completed the acquisition of the meat processing plant in June last year. She went to Ping'an County after arranging the preliminary work. Later, Qi Yanling, the director of the food factory, called her many times to report on the progress of the meat processing plant. This time when she came back, she still had to visit.
The feed company and the food factory have an upstream and downstream relationship. The pigs produced by the pig farm run by the feed factory are sold to the food factory. When Wen Qing arrived, it was after 9 o'clock and the workers had already started work. Wen Qing saw that the workers' mental outlook had improved greatly compared to when she took over the factory last year, and the factory was also tidy and clean. From the report she got, the renamed food factory has turned from loss to profit. Wen Qing thinks Qi Yanling's work is still very good.
When they arrived at Qi Yanling's office, they found her discussing opinions with several section chiefs. Wen Qing did not disturb her but stood outside the door and listened quietly.
Qi Yanling said sternly, "When I got off work yesterday, I found that the containers in one workshop were not cleaned properly. Please ask the Quality Office to inform the whole factory."
The quality inspection chief nodded and took note.
She added: "The weather has warmed up recently, please ask the Equipment Department to check all the refrigerated warehouses in the factory to ensure they can be used normally."
After Qi Yanling arranged the work, Deputy Factory Director Li Changqing spoke: "Director Qi, a kind of ham sausage has appeared on the market recently, and the price is 20% cheaper than ours. Currently, several non-staple food companies have reduced the amount of goods they purchase from our factory."
Qi Yanling took it very seriously and asked, "Do you have any samples?"
Li Changqing took out a bag of sausages. The packaging was very similar to that of their factory, but it was still obvious that the brand was different. Qi Yanling opened the package, and Wen Qing walked into the office after hearing that. Qi Yanling quickly stood up, and Li Changqing and several section chiefs also stood up. Wen Qing hurriedly asked them to continue sitting and pulled over a chair and sat down.
Wen Qing also picked up a sausage, smelled it, tore open the package, broke off a piece, put it in her mouth, and said to Qi Yanling: "This kind of sausage has too high starch content. You see, this is obviously starch, and lacks meat flavor."
Qi Yanling said: "It's probably not good meat."
Wen Qing nodded: "Can you arrange for someone to do a test to see what ingredients are in it?"
Qi Yanling took the package of sausage and went to the laboratory.
Wen Qing asked everyone to adjourn the meeting. The heads of the Quality Inspection and Security Departments stayed and went to inspect various places in the factory with Director Li.
They first went to the ham sausage workshop. Wen Qing checked the cleaning and disinfection room, the changing room, and the personal belongings storage room. Then she entered the workshop to inspect the meat cleaning process, the seasoning cleaning, the addition of various additives, and the workers' operations. She told the people on site that all raw materials must be washed with running water more than three times, and all workers must wear rubber gloves when operating. She also checked the equipment cleaning records of the workshop and found that the workshop did not clean the equipment and production lines on time for two days last month. Wen Qing asked the Quality Inspection Office to take note of it and impose corresponding penalties in the future.
In the braising workshop, Wen Qing checked the cleaning, feeding, cooking, and packaging processes according to the procedures. Especially in the vacuum packaging process, Wen Qing required the workers to manually check each bag of food to prevent air leakage.
For the slaughtering workshop, Wen Qing mainly checked the safe operations and equipment maintenance.
After the inspection, Wen Qing returned to Qi Yanling's office. Qi Yanling also came back from the laboratory. Wen Qing took the test results and found that the fat and protein content were much lower than their products, while the starch content was three times that of theirs, and the flavor content also exceeded the standard.
Wen Qing shook her head. "I really don't care about anything in order to make money."
I asked them to collect the test results and said to Qi Yanling: "You should regularly collect sales information of other brands of ham sausages on the market and closely observe the trends of consumers. If people like this kind of starch sausage, we can produce it as long as we control the quality and hygiene."
In the afternoon, Wen Qing called all the middle-level managers of the food factory to a meeting. She first explained the market competition situation to everyone, pointed out the problems found in the morning inspection, and reminded them: "Now the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, we must strictly control the quality. The most important thing in food production is food hygiene. If there is a problem, it will be a disaster, so we can't gamble with the reputation of the factory.
We need to strengthen our factory's safety and health awareness, and prevent competitors from sabotaging and external risks."
After everyone's discussion, the Quality Inspection Department formulated strict hygiene management procedures and requirements. Before workers enter the workshop, they must first store their personal belongings in the lockers outside the workshop, work clothes are cleaned and disinfected uniformly every day, and workers need to wash and disinfect their hands after changing clothes before entering the workshop; all production workshops are equipped with air conditioners, and the production line must be cleaned and disinfected every seven hours; when meat and raw materials are shipped out of freezers and cold storages, they must be inspected batch by batch to prevent deterioration; metal detection devices are installed on the packaging production line to prevent metal foreign matter from mixing into food; monitoring is installed throughout the factory and workshops, and regular inspections are carried out to prevent non-compliant operations; most importantly, all products have independent codes and can be traced.
Although this would require an investment of more than 300,000 yuan, Wen Qing felt it was worth it. It was better than having any problems. She asked Xu Shengli to immediately notify the Ludong Food Processing Factory and allocate funds to them to improve the production line and maintain consistent quality within the group.
