Chapter 104 Chinese Instant Noodles
Director Huang tasted it first.
He picked up the chopsticks and scooped them into the big bowl. The taste of the instant noodles became stronger, making the people watching nearby couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It smells so good.
This time, they believe that foreigners will also like to eat it.
There is greater confidence in export earnings.
Director Huang took a sip of the instant noodles, chewed them slowly, and savored them. Except for Zhou Yimin, everyone watched Director Huang eat the instant noodles.
After a while, Director Huang sighed: "No wonder it is called instant noodles, and no wonder this kind of noodles is so popular abroad."
In his opinion, this is a high-end product, just like canned food. It is natural for it to be exported.
That’s right! Almost all canned food produced in China is exported to earn foreign exchange. In the eyes of many people, things that can be exported are high-end goods.
If this instant noodle is also exported, it will naturally be included in the list of high-end products.
From now on, it will not be so easy for everyone to taste instant noodles.
Only Zhou Yimin knows that both canned food and instant noodles are not nutritious and are unhealthy if eaten too much. Instant noodles, for example, have very few nutritional ingredients and eating them for a long time is definitely not good!
Director Yang and other factory leaders also started eating, taking turns to take a bite.
In the end, the instant noodles Zhou Yimin brought were recognized by everyone.
"At that time, the seasoning can be put in a small packaging bag inside, and then a large packaging bag can be added outside." Zhou Yimin described the classic design of instant noodles.
Director Huang nodded, feeling that Zhou Yimin’s suggestion was very good.
"Do you want to give it a name?" Director Huang asked Zhou Yimin.
After all, it was Zhou Yimin who came up with it, so it is only natural for him to name it.
Zhao Zhenguo: "How about Zhou's instant noodles?"
This is obviously intended to make Zhou Yimin famous.
However, Zhou Yimin did not get carried away. You know, in a few years, even some time-honored brands will have to change their names, and Quanjude will be forced to change to Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant.
It’s really ostentatious that he came up with Zhou’s instant noodles.
Zhou Yimin shook his head: "I think, how about calling it Chinese instant noodles?"
Everyone present immediately stood in awe.
Calling it this way instantly makes it classier and impeccable. I also admire Zhou Yimin for not seeking fame, and for not taking such a good opportunity to become famous.
However, why is it called instant noodles instead of instant noodles?
"Instant noodles?"
Zhou Yimin explained: "Foreigners eat this kind of noodles mainly for convenience. Think about it! Foreigners don't like to cook, so after get off work, they just take out a pack of noodles, soak them in boiling water, and eat them in a few minutes. How convenient is that?
So, I call it instant noodles. Of course, instant noodles is also OK, it is easy to understand. "
It is still called instant noodles in later generations!
"Well! This is a good name! Chinese instant noodles. Very good, I will tell my superiors everything. On behalf of the organization, I would like to thank Comrade Zhou Yimin." As he said this, Director Huang shook hands with Zhou Yimin again enthusiastically.
Zhou Yimin said righteously: "We are all serving the country and the people!"
"Good! Well said!" Director Huang led the applause.
For a moment, everyone here applauded.
Then, Director Huang prepared to go back to the department as he had stayed here for a long time today.
Zhou Yimin kept a copy of the finished product, and Director Huang took the rest away. Director Huang left Zhou Yimin an address for him to visit when he was free.
Director Yang and others were envious! After sending Director Huang out, Director Yang looked at Zhou Yimin eagerly.
"Yimin, how about being transferred to the noodle factory? I'll let you be the workshop director. Don't worry, our products can be exported to earn foreign exchange, and the level of the factory will definitely be improved. It may not reach the size of a steel plant, but with me..."
Before he could finish, Zhou Yimin shook his head: "Uncle Yang, forget it! I won't leave the steel plant for the time being."
What's so good about being a workshop supervisor? Can you be absent from work often? If not, then he is not interested.
At this time, Zhao Zhenguo pulled Director Yang aside.
"Uncle Yang, I wonder if we can let him take up a sinecure in our factory and not come to the factory on weekdays. But he can give us some good suggestions.
Besides, our factory will definitely expand its recruitment, right? Yimin wants a few job vacancies. "Zhao Zhenguo proposed Zhou Yimin for welfare.
Some things are better for him to say.
Upon hearing this, Director Yang thought this was a good idea. If he held a sinecure, he could be considered a member of their noodle factory, right? It was not uncommon for one person to hold two or even more positions.
"Well! I think it's okay. There's nothing wrong with the job position, I'll take care of it when the time comes." As for giving Zhou Yimin a few positions, isn't that a small matter?
Of course, this should not be made public as it would have a bad impact.
The two walked over, and Director Yang said to Zhou Yimin, "Yimin, how about taking up a sinecure position in our factory?"
"Is it allowed?" Zhou Yimin didn't quite understand the current rules.
"What's not allowed? Just do it! Technical Advisor."
"That's okay!"
Director Yang was very happy to see Zhou Yimin agreed, and everyone began to discuss how to improve the machines in the workshop, set up a new production line, etc.
It’s true, Zhou Yimin is a person who traveled back from the future. Although he is not very professional, he can often come up with some amazing and valuable suggestions.
"Come on, I'll ask the canteen to prepare a table of food, and we can eat and talk at the same time."
Zhou Yimin: "Uncle Yang, we are all family, so let's not be polite. I have to go back to the steel plant, so let's do it another day! By then, I have some other ideas to share with you all."
For example, launching bucket noodles with a paper tube and a plastic fork to make instant noodles more "convenient".
Don't be in a hurry, update one by one. In addition, develop more flavors and develop according to the needs of various countries. As a later person, Zhou Yimin is too familiar with instant noodles.
We have just started our life, what can we use to compete with him?
"Okay, let's talk about it next time." Director Yang did not force it. Anyway, Zhou Yimin had agreed to take up a position in their factory, and that was enough. It was not necessary to have him "exclusively". "Sharing" this talent was also possible.
Zhao Zhenguo sent Zhou Yimin out and also talked about the job in passing.
"Thank you, cousin!"
Zhao Zhenguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He patted Zhou Yimin on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? I should thank you.
If the steel factory gives you trouble, you don’t have to suffer and come directly to our noodle factory.”
Zhou Yimin was speechless.
Would the steel mill embarrass him? He had invented two products for the steel mill, so it was even more impossible for them to embarrass him at this juncture. In order to keep him, Director Ding even set up a research and development room.
He didn't say much and hurried back to the steel plant.
At this time, the steel plant finally decided on the reward for his invention of the solar cooker. It was very generous, including bonuses, prizes, job grade promotions, etc.
You know, it’s only been nearly a month since Zhou Yimin joined the company!
