Chapter 269: Chapter 270: Made It Into the Daily Newspaper

"Director, it’s not good, the people outside are saying that our brined flavor has gone bad after they ate it, and they want to report us to the police," Manager Li panicked as he ran into the office, drenched in sweat.

He had already said that Director Li was unreliable. How could he have produced the same product so quickly that Yu County had developed with such difficulty?

There must have been some trickery involved, and now something had gone wrong.

Director Yang, upon hearing this news, got such a fright that she lost her balance and fell right off her chair.

Their cooperation with the food factory had indeed been a bit hasty, but her subordinates had tasted the food and said that the brine flavors and fried goods from the food factory were just like Yu County’s, so she launched the new product line.

How could it possibly have gone bad?

Not to mention Director Yang being anxious, Director Li was also sweating profusely with concern. The last thing anyone in the food industry wants is a food safety issue, let alone having the meat go rotten.

The ingredients must have been really un-fresh to produce rotten meat.

Director Li’s face filled with rage, and he started to scold his subordinates: "Are you telling the truth? How could the meat go rotten? Where is the procurement department? Get out here! Why is the meat rotten, did you buy ingredients that weren’t fresh?"

The procurement department head looked frightened: "Director, we used fresh meat. Maybe it’s been left out too long. It’s already taken more than two days from purchase to finished production."

Director Li’s face showed disbelief: "How is that possible? It takes more than a day to transport goods from Yu County Food Factory to us, including the time needed for production, at least two or three days. Why doesn’t their product go bad?"

"Maybe they have some secret recipe to keep the meat from spoiling and that’s why theirs didn’t go bad."

Director Li thought that was sheer nonsense. Could that girl really know some kind of ’Immortal Technique’? After all, it’s not the time for feudal superstitions.

"Sort this matter out quickly for me, or we’re all finished." Food issues, especially with meat, this might be the first time it’s happened in a century at the factory.

Director Li was now so angry that he felt like he could cough up blood.

The incident had blown up, alarming not just the head of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce but also the local senior leaders.

The leadership from the Department Store and the food factory were suspended from duty.

The manager of the Friendship Building, upon hearing the news, scoffed at the two of them.

Xu Ying, along with her group, took the train back, completely unaware that Director Li and Director Yang had inadvertently done her a huge favor.

As the biggest department store in Magic City and the renowned food factory were embroiled in such an incident, it instantly became front-page news for the local papers.

So the Modu Province newspaper had headlines like, "Yu County Food Factory develops new duck and pork brine flavors, deliciously sweet and spicy, one bite and you can’t stop, keeps you coming back for more."

Their fried foods combined the essence of deliciousness, and after frying in hot oil, were not only crispy and tasty but also simple to prepare.

Don’t worry if you can’t cook or don’t know how to, but still want delicious food—the tasty fried goods and brine flavors are worth it.

Next came the story of the Magic City Food Factory’s jealousy of the Yu County Food Factory, creating the same products, but resulting in using spoiled meat, producing off-flavored meat...

From using non-fresh ingredients to endangering people’s safety, the exaggeration sparked outrage among the citizens of Magic City.

Xu Ying had no idea she had become a sensation in Magic City. She only learned of the situation a week later when Xu Yan Gang, whom she met on the train, sent her a letter explaining what had happened.

Upon learning of the incident, Xu Ying couldn’t help but think of Director Luo from the Friendship Building.

She quickly came up with a good solution and wrote a letter to Xu Yan Gang with eloquent sentences. Using her knowledge, she wrote a speech addressing food safety and even included pictures of hats, masks, and gloves made by the textile factory.

She also included photos showing the daily attire of the employees at the Yu County Food Factory.

She was hoping to boost the economy with another newspaper feature, but she didn’t expect that her actions would be chosen for a daily newspaper article.

Xu Yan Gang also followed suit and received praise from the leadership, getting promoted on the spot.

"Xiao Xu, our factory is hot stuff now, we made it into the newspapers." Mr. Sun, holding the newspaper, energetically ran to find Xu Ying.

Xu Ying wasn’t very surprised by this; after all, with such popularity, making it into the newspapers was something she had anticipated.

Mr. Sun was indeed a bit shocked by her reaction, "Xiao Xu, did you know that we made it into the daily newspaper?"

"Daily newspaper?" Xu Ying, fearing she hadn’t heard clearly, asked somewhat bewilderedly.

Seeing her expression, Mr. Sun became even prouder, "Yes, our food factory and the textile factory actually made it into the daily newspaper."

The daily newspaper—that was a concept that the entire nation could see.

Mr. Sun had already envisioned himself appearing before all the people of the country in a moment of unmatched splendor.

Who would have thought he, Old Sun, would have such a glorious moment in his old age?

Xu Ying was also a bit flustered; though she had a lot of confidence, the daily newspaper was something she hadn’t even dared to imagine.

Adjusting her mindset and suppressing the joy in her heart, Xu Ying tried to appear calm, "Stay cool, stay cool, Mr. Sun.

Just a daily newspaper after all. In the future, we should aim for earning foreign exchange, aiming overseas. I believe that as long as we work hard, our brined duck and brined pork flavors will definitely start a market craze abroad."

Mr. Sun was invigorated by her words.

It was just a few months until the diplomatic exchange event, and he wondered how the thing he told the minister before was progressing.

"Xiao Xu, I believe in what you said, we can definitely make it happen."

"Mm-hm." Xu Ying looked at Mr. Sun, "Mr. Sun, how are you coming along with the matter I mentioned before?

Look at how popular our brined flavors are now; we can’t be without a brand name.

People only know that it’s made by Yu County Food Factory, but they don’t know what it’s called.

If we had a name, we would have a brand. In the future, abroad, upon mentioning brine flavors, they would know that we are a name brand.

Not just some unknown factory’s food."

Xiao Xu had brought this up long ago, but each time Mr. Sun would just put it to the back of his mind.

Now that he listened, it really made sense.

But coming up with a brand name, wasn’t that a challenge for old Sun?

Rubbing the few strands of hair on his mostly bare head, Old Sun looked distressed, "Xiao Xu, this daunting task is yours to take on."

Hearing this, Xu Ying boasted shamelessly, "Mr. Sun, I actually have thought of some brand names; how about you choose one?"

"Let’s hear them."

"Xu Ji Brine, Xu Ji Juewei, Lu Xuji, Xu Lulu."

Mr. Sun gave Xu Ying a meaningful look, sentimentality for the Xu family name, huh!

"Mr. Sun, you know that this brine recipe is a secret family heirloom. I’m doing this because I want to spare our ancestors any distress.

Originally, this was not to be shared outside the family, but for the sake of our country’s economy and the prosperous path of Yu County Food Factory, I had no choice but to reveal the family recipe.

There are no self-serving intentions in what I do; I only hope that our ancestors won’t be angry, considering there are still several recipes that haven’t been revealed," said Xu Ying with utter seriousness.

However, Mr. Sun’s eyes nearly popped out of his head when he heard Xu Ying mention that there were still several recipes left.
