Chapter 127 Efficiency Upgrades in the Baking Workshop (1)

In our baking world, filled with the aroma of flour and a sweet atmosphere, these past few days have been incredibly lively. The company's female chairperson, Li Yuan, and her team have been immersed in researching ways to improve efficiency in the baking workshop.

After days and nights of tireless thought and discussion, almost turning the meeting room into a makeshift baking lab, they finally achieved results. Li Yuan waved her hand and decided to send the newly developed machine to Manager Wang's baking workshop. Manager Wang had been working in the baking industry for many years, and her baking experience could fill a thick book, but the issue of workshop efficiency had also worried her so much that her hair had almost turned gray.

Sure enough, as soon as the machine arrived, Li Yuan pulled Supervisor Wang to sit at the conference table. This conference table, which had witnessed countless brainstorming sessions, was about to host another important dialogue about the future of baking.

Li Yuan looked at Manager Wang with a beaming smile, her eyes radiating confidence and pride: "Manager Wang, we've brought you some amazing gadgets this time. The puff pastry machine—this thing is incredible! Before, hand-making puff pastry was time-consuming and uneven. Now, with this, every layer of pastry is guaranteed to be as thin as a cicada's wing, with an excellent texture. And this shaping toaster—whether you want rectangular, square, or round toast, it can shape it perfectly, like a well-trained soldier. And this egg yolk brushing machine—before, brushing by hand resulted in uneven thickness in some areas and thinness in others. Now, it's perfectly even. However, you'll need the best baking instructors to teach you how to operate them. These high-tech gadgets need to be used correctly to unleash their full power. If the machines malfunction, don't try to fix them yourself; just tell us immediately. We have a professional repair team ready to assist you."

Manager Wang's eyes lit up as if he had seen a pile of glittering gold. He nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Li, this is truly a godsend! My workshop was just wondering how to improve efficiency, and these machines of yours have come at the perfect time. However, I have some ideas, but I don't know if they can be implemented."

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her arms: "Manager Wang, please feel free to share your thoughts. Today is the day to resolve the issue."

Manager Wang cleared his throat and began to speak at length: "Here's the thing, we often need to process dried fruit. After soaking it, we need to dry it a bit more, but the current process is too slow. I'd like a machine similar to an oven, but much faster. Ideally, it should dry the fruit perfectly in a short time without affecting its flavor and nutritional value. Also, slicing bread after baking is a hassle. When we slice it manually, the slices are sometimes uneven. I'd like a machine that can slice baked bread into even, thin slices. Then there's packaging sealing. Currently, manual packaging is too slow and doesn't look neat. A machine that can quickly seal packaging would be fantastic. And then there's beating eggs and whipping cream. You know how tiring that is, and it's hard to control the quality. A machine that doesn't require manual mixing would save us a lot of trouble."

Li Yuan listened attentively while taking notes in her notebook, occasionally frowning and then relaxing. After Supervisor Wang finished speaking, she put down her pen and smiled, "Supervisor Wang, you have quite a few requirements, but that's a good thing. It shows you really care about workshop efficiency. We'll discuss these machines again when we get back and see if we can find a suitable solution. Don't worry, as long as they're available on the market, or if we can develop them, we'll arrange them for you as soon as possible."

Manager Wang smiled gratefully: "Mr. Li, thank you so much. I'm doing this for the good of our company. You see, the market competition is so fierce now. If we don't improve efficiency and refine our processes, how can we survive in the world of baking?"

Li Yuan nodded: "I understand that. You're on the front lines, so you know the situation in the workshop best. If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me anytime, and we'll work together to make this baking business bigger and stronger. By the way, Supervisor Wang, do you think the workers will be able to adapt to the new machines?"

Supervisor Wang scratched his head: "This is indeed a problem, but I'm thinking of having a few young, quick learners learn from the baking instructor first, and then they can teach the others. I'm just worried that something might go wrong in the process and delay production."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan said, "How about this, we'll arrange for technicians to stay in the workshop for a period of time to guide the workers' operations and ensure a smooth transition."

Manager Wang's eyes lit up: "President Li, this is a great idea! How come I didn't think of that? The workers will definitely be eager to learn it, and improving efficiency will be no problem."

As the two were talking animatedly, the conference room door suddenly opened, and a junior employee poked his head in, holding a freshly baked loaf of bread. He said shyly, "Mr. Li, Manager Wang, this bread was made with the new machine. We'd like you to try it and see if there's anything we can improve."

Li Yuan and Supervisor Wang exchanged a smile and took the bread. Li Yuan took a bite, her eyes narrowing. "Hmm, the texture is indeed much better than before, but as for the flavor, I think it could be improved further. Supervisor Wang, what do you think?"

Manager Wang also took a bite, and after tasting it carefully, he said, "I think the fermentation time may need to be adjusted, and the filling combination could also be improved by making more flavors to meet the needs of different customers."

Li Yuan agreed, saying, "Yes, we must keep innovating and not be satisfied with the status quo. Manager Wang, you have a lot of experience in baking techniques, so please give us more ideas in this area in the future."

Manager Wang quickly waved his hand: "Mr. Li, you're too kind. It's what I should do. I also hope that our company's products will get better and better and sell more and more."

The two discussed improving the bread's flavor for a while, leaving no detail overlooked, from the selection of ingredients to the baking temperature and time. Just then, Li Yuan's phone rang. She answered it, her expression turning serious.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan said to Manager Wang, "Manager Wang, there's an emergency. The marketing department reported that several customers complained that our bread packaging isn't very secure and it's easy for it to fall apart during transport. This needs to be resolved. Do you have any solutions?"

Supervisor Wang frowned and thought for a moment: "How about we check the existing packaging equipment first to see if the sealing temperature or time is incorrect? In addition, we can consider adding an extra layer of packaging for better protection."

Li Yuan nodded: "Okay, go and arrange it right away. I'll also have the technicians take another look at the packaging equipment to see if we can upgrade it. This quality issue is a big deal; it concerns our company's reputation."

Supervisor Wang immediately got up to go to the workshop. Before leaving, she turned back to Li Yuan and said, "President Li, don't worry. I will definitely resolve this issue as soon as possible. This new machine has just arrived, and although there are still some minor problems, I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely bring the workshop's efficiency and product quality to a new level."

Li Yuan smiled at him and said, "Okay, I trust you. Report to me anytime if anything happens."

And so, in this world of baking, full of challenges and opportunities, Li Yuan and Supervisor Wang led everyone in constantly exploring and striving to improve efficiency and quality. And those new machines, like sparks of hope, were about to ignite a new era of brilliance in the baking workshop.
