Pigs are so cute. Won't their eyes be crispy and tasty when they're roasted? "Amy asked curiously.
"Well … I guess so." Meg nodded with a smile. Indeed, only a true foodie could see through the surface.
"Anyway, I refuse to eat this kind of weird food," Irina declared.
"I refuse too." Barbara raised her hand in agreement. Just hearing the name of the dish was enough to make her scalp tingle, let alone trying roasted eyes.
"I don't dare to eat it either," Anna said softly.
"I … I also …" Jane raised her hand weakly, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.
At that moment, other than Amy and Raina, the rest of the people actually expressed that they were not willing to try this dish. Just the name alone made them feel uncomfortable.
"Raina, are you willing to try it?" Meg looked at Raina. She was the only one who sat there quietly and did not express her opinion.
"I …" Raina looked at Meg with anticipation. Although she was fearful of the unknown roasted pig's eyes, there were bound to be people who were willing to sacrifice and try it on the road to the birth of delicacies. Obviously, the boss needed such people now. After hesitating for a while, she nodded firmly. "I can try it."
"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself. I will officially launch this dish tonight. Let the customers make their choice." Meg smiled. He could tell that Raina was still a little fearful of the roasted pig's eyes. He was touched that she nodded, but there was no need for her to be a guinea pig.
"Launch it directly?" Raina looked at Meg in surprise. She had never seen Meg make roasted pig's eyes before. He had proposed this dish early in the morning. Was he going to put it on the menu for the customers to order without letting anyone try it?
"Yes." Meg nodded and explained, "This is a dish from my hometown. I'm confident."
Raina nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions. When the boss said he was confident, he had never failed.
After the morning service, Meg took out a small blackboard, wrote a line of words on it, and hung it on the door.
Then, Meg moved a reclining chair and placed it at the door. There was a small stove beside his hand and a pottery pot on top of it. The fragrance of black tea flowed out along with the steam. Basking in the warm winter sun, Meg closed his eyes contentedly and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
After a while, Meg tilted his head and looked at Gloria who was standing beside the teapot. He sat up and smiled. "Miss Gloria, when did you arrive?"
In fact, he had sensed that someone was coming five minutes ago. The familiar fragrance allowed him to guess who it was without opening his eyes. The warm winter sun was too comfortable, so he was reluctant to open his eyes.
"I've just arrived. Sorry to disturb Mr. Meg's sunbathing." Gloria said apologetically. Perhaps it was because the sun was too hot today, or perhaps it was because the side of his face with his eyes closed was too sharp, but her face was slightly red.
"I'm just taking a nap under the sun. How is that disturbing?" Meg smiled and shook his head. He pointed at the chair beside the stove and said, "The tea is ready. I was worried that no one would drink it with me. I wonder if Miss Gloria has the time to drink with me."
"My pleasure." Gloria smiled and sat down. She naturally picked up the handkerchief on the table and poured the amber tea into two cups.
Speaking of which, the two had already drunk tea together a few times. They could be considered close tea friends.
The fragrance of the tea slowly drifted over, causing one's state of mind to gradually calm down.
"Suede must be very busy these days, right?" Meg asked with a smile as he held the thick ceramic cup in his hand. He felt the warmth from the cup through his fingertips.
"Yes. I bought a piece of land in the north of the city and built a new factory. I'm planning to move all the production lines to the factory in the north of the city after I finish making the down jackets." Gloria nodded slightly.
"The new factory is already built?" Meg was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Gloria to be so bold and decisive. Last month, he heard from her that the current factory wasn't enough to provide the clothes needed by Suede. He didn't expect her to buy a piece of land and build a new factory so quickly.
"Yes." Gloria nodded. Then she said with a bit of worry, "It's just that tailors are too hard to hire. Many tailors have very high salary requirements. They're almost charging according to the price they set for the tailors themselves, which raises the cost a lot."
"Charging according to the price they set for the tailors with ready-made blueprints?" Meg raised his eyebrows. These tailors were too shameless.
"Maybe they know the price of Suede …"
"Here's my personal opinion. Since we're moving to a new factory, let's further split the process of making the clothes. As long as we standardize the process, except for the high-end clothes, we only need the assembly line workers to make the clothes in batches. We don't need tailors at all." Meg looked at Gloria and suggested, "You can pick a group of honest and reliable tailors from the existing tailors. Let them be the workshop supervisors and technicians. They'll be responsible for managing the different processes and ensuring the quality of the clothes."
"Further splitting the process?" Gloria thought carefully for a while. Then her eyes lit up and she said, "If we can further split the process, we can solve the shortage of tailors and the problem of the high cost of labor. The tailors who are promoted to management positions can continue to use their expertise and control the overall quality of the clothes. This is indeed the most efficient way right now."
"Because this is a brand new model, you have to have a trustworthy assistant who can control the overall situation. At the same time, you need a group of workers who are easy to manage so that Suede can get through the transition period quickly," Meg continued.
"Uncle Mars is a very talented manager. He's been managing the factory for me during this period. I believe he'll be able to handle the management of the new factory. As for the workers … "A conflicted look appeared on Gloria's face. Blue Suede already had over 200 employees, and there were indeed some lazy and disobedient workers among them. The new factory still needed to recruit more workers, and it was most likely going to be difficult to recruit good workers.
"Do you know that a group of elves came to Chaos City recently?" Meg asked.
"I heard that Princess Irina of the elven race brought tens of thousands of elves to Chaos City." Gloria nodded. This wasn't a secret in Chaos City, but she didn't know why Meg was bringing it up.
"Princess Irina has been dining at Mamy's recently. I can ask her if there are any elves who need jobs. Perhaps she can help you solve the problem of workers," Meg said with a smile.
"Elven workers?!" Gloria was pleasantly surprised. Elves were the most well-received species in Chaos City's employee market. Both their work attitude and work efficiency were highly valued by all bosses.
If the new factory could be replaced with a group of elven workers, it would definitely be a good thing for Suede.
