Before we knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival of 1990.

During this period, apart from going to school, Jiang Tian spent all her free time in her family's newly established food processing factory.

The price of holiday gift boxes in China nowadays is not as high as it will be in the future. In other words, this part of the market is full of money but no one is picking it up!

Can Jiang Tian tolerate this?

Last year, she originally wanted to buy the food factory in town that was on the verge of bankruptcy and couldn't pay its employees. However, when the other party heard that it was their family that wanted to buy it, they immediately asked for an outrageous price.

Jiang Tian laughed at the time, and then spent money to buy a piece of land from her second uncle.

It's just a shabby food factory. Do you really think you are a piece of Tang Monk's meat that everyone is fighting for?

It's 1990, not 1960. The market has been open for a long time. It's not like she doesn't have the connections to buy a food processing production line. But you dare to sell your broken machine to me as a new one?

The town food factory felt that they were the only food processing company nearby, and Jiang Tian had no choice. If she wanted to buy it, she could start production. But in the end, didn't she have to buy from them?

Not only did he ask for a high price, he also wanted Jiang Tian to take over the factory's original employees.

Jiang Tian had asked someone about this food factory before. In fact, the fresh milk biscuits produced in the factory are quite delicious. They were once a "hot item" in their local area, but they couldn't resist a group of rats.

The leaders and employees in the factory stole large and small bags of biscuits to take home. The amount of biscuits shipped out and sold every day was not as much as what they stole. If such a factory could make money, it would be a miracle.

If Jiang Tian really wanted to keep these employees, she wouldn't have to open the factory.

The food factory waited for two months, and finally even the credit union refused to lend them money to pay their wages, so they had no choice but to turn to Jiang Tian. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian had already quickly built a production workshop and even pulled back the production line.

Food factory: “…”

"Humph! I want to see, without our recipe, can your new factory produce fresh milk biscuits that are tastier than ours?"

The director of the food factory stormed out.

Half a month later.

There is still one month to the Mid-Autumn Festival. All the shops, kiosks, fast food restaurants and restaurants along Provincial Highway 336, as long as there was space for shelves, were filled with mooncake gift boxes produced by Shuangfeng Food Factory overnight.

The director of the food factory almost vomited blood.

This damn girl, did she do this on purpose?

Their factory is called "Shuangfeng Town Food Factory".

Jiang Tian named his factory "Shuangfeng Food Factory".

There is only one letter difference. Insiders know that these are two different manufacturers, but outsiders don’t know. At first glance, it’s just like "Master Kong" and "Kangshoufu", and it’s hard to tell them apart.

I thought this was a food factory.

For some reason, the factory manager always felt that Jiang Tian's behavior was strange, as if she had stolen the good reputation that their factory had worked hard for decades without spending a penny...

If the factory director had also been reborn from decades later, he would have been able to see through Jiang Tian's "sinister intentions" at the first moment -

Isn’t this the legendary “riding on the popularity”?

It’s a pity that even some big brands in later generations were unable to guard against this kind of behavior of riding on the popularity of others, let alone the small factory managers of township enterprises in this era?

"Shuangfeng Town Food Factory" watched helplessly as Jiang Tian's "Shuangfeng Food Factory" spread their shelves across most of Provincial Highway 336.

This time, Jiang Tian was selling mooncake gift boxes, and just like when she helped Grandma Hu sell rice dumplings before, she decided on two cooperation models.

One is a simple "distribution point" model, where the factory pays and provides the distribution point with a shelf and a promotional billboard for free, with the style of the gift box and the "national unified retail price" printed on the sign.

Ordinary people these days are so naive that when they see the words "national unification", they think that this "Shuangfeng Mooncake" is so famous that people all over the country know it, and it sounds very high-end and classy!

There are three grades of mooncake gift boxes at the agency point of sale.

One is the most expensive one. It has a large bright red gift box with a beautiful pattern of Chang'e flying to the moon printed on it. It contains moon cakes of eight flavors, a total of 24, plus two boxes of osmanthus cakes and two boxes of coconut candy.

There is also a mid-range one with smaller packaging. The pattern is osmanthus flowers in the Moon Palace, and Chang'e holding the Jade Rabbit and looking up at the distant Milky Way. There are four flavors of mooncakes, a total of 12, plus two boxes of beautifully packaged coconut candies.

The last one is more affordable. Based on the simple cylindrical mooncakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, a slight improvement was made to make a handbag gift box with eight mooncakes in it. Although there are few mooncakes, the packaging box is large. It is much more upscale when you carry it when visiting relatives than the cylindrical mooncakes.

For these goods, the sales outlets do not need to spend money to stock up. If there is not enough to sell, they can just call the factory and someone will come to restock the next day.

The price of gift boxes that the factory gives to sales outlets is a few cents to a few dollars cheaper than the "national unified retail price" set by them.

In other words, the sales outlets do not need to hold back payment for the goods. They can earn the difference for every box sold. If the boxes cannot be sold, they can be returned to the factory after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hu Qiongfang was originally worried that if her daughter ran business in this way and too many mooncakes were returned, the factory might not be able to continue operating.

However, after she tasted the "innovative flavor mooncakes" made by Jiang Tian, ​​she felt completely relieved.

This mooncake tastes really good. Based on Hu Qiongfang's many years of experience in the catering industry, even after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she can still sell it as a snack in her own store.

The mooncakes sold on the market now are still the same three kinds: five-nut, pepper and salt, and red bean paste.

Hu Qiongfang never thought that this mooncake could be made with other fillings!

How to say it, if she knew in advance what the fillings of these mooncakes were, she would definitely suspect whether it was some kind of dark cuisine.

However, after tasting it herself, she had to admit that this new flavor of mooncake was much more delicious than the "old three" that she had been eating for decades.

This time, Jiang Tian developed several new flavors of mooncakes at once.

There are fresh meat mooncakes, salted egg yolk mooncakes, pork with preserved plums mooncakes, chocolate lava mooncakes, jujube paste mooncakes, osmanthus rock sugar mooncakes, ham and bamboo shoots mooncakes... It's like a mooncake meeting!

This is what fresh meat mooncakes look like. Very delicious!

But it’s really delicious.

Hu Qiongfang particularly likes the juicy meat mooncake and the salted egg yolk mooncake. She likes salty mooncakes.

On the contrary, his son Jiang Cheng, a boy, actually likes sweet food. He ate so much chocolate lava mooncakes, date paste mooncakes, and custard lava mooncakes that Jiang Tian brought back that he couldn't even swallow his dinner.
