Chapter 381 Canteen and Factory Building

Grayson and Lagertha both recorded Li Ke's orders, and then Li Ke visited the two canteens.

A canteen is located around the staff dormitory, which is twenty or thirty meters away. Li Ke can see many children and women still eating in the canteen, and the kitchen is also cooking and chopping meat non-stop. It is obvious that is preparing food for lunch.

The restaurant is not very large, because of the limitations of materials, but is a collection of wooden houses and sheds, as well as a small square with tables and stools.

Diners can choose to dine in a shed, a square, or in a house.

The food served in Li Ke's canteen is actually of ordinary taste, with meat, vegetables, potatoes, corn and bread, and not much more.

The chef hired was none other than the chef Nomi, who had the same name as the Burning Pandaren.

This guy's cooking skills can't be said to be unscrupulous, it can also be said that he is crying. Although the taste is not bad, if you want him to cook more, there is really no hope.

He knows three special dishes.

Potato and vegetable ragout.

Potato and vegetable stew with sausage.

Potato sausage butter cheese omelette.

At most, I'll cook you some meat sauce. The pie depends on the chef in this town. Li Ke thinks his best dish is Indian food.

Because this guy is extremely good at boiling things into mush!

As for the cakes and so on - sorry, those were the chefs Li Ke and Jennifer took away from the castle. These chefs learned Li Ke's skills, and Jennifer, the hostess, would not let them go at all.

Other things like boiling potatoes and corn can be done with hands, so I won’t talk about these things.

But he is still very popular, and the reason is very simple.

Miners working in mines, workers in lumber mills, and construction workers all do this.

High-calorie, chunky meats and stews, and thick soups that make bread moist and delicious, have a bottle of this after work, followed by a sip of mint or lemon water - preferably of course Ale, that would be a perfect feast.

Preparing food in the cafeteria is also very simple. Lagertha is very talented in management in this area. She made some signs and gave them to the miners, allowing them to use the signs to prepare meals, but there was no limit. And two locals and two relatives of Defias stonemasons were recruited to guard the door to prevent irrelevant people from entering.

Of course, although the order stipulates that other townspeople cannot come in, if it is brought in by someone with a brand name, it depends on how you say it, but it is obvious that Li Ke doesn't care about this.

With just this amount of food for people to eat now, how much can they pay for it? Just stop the real scoundrels.

These people eat without doing anything but disrupt public order. What Li Ke hates most is this bunch of people.

Li Ke visited the kitchen of the canteen and the environment in which they worked, and nodded after tasting some stew and bread under the gaze of the residents.

“The restaurant is okay.”

But he didn't comment on the dishes, which disappointed Nomi who was very confident.

After leaving the canteen, Li Ke went to look at other places, especially the bakery and the mill. They were repaired quickly with the help of masons. They were all brand new and used materials from Li Ke's factory. The castings produced can be said to be quite stable.

However, Li Ke doesn't care much about these places, especially the mills, because they can be eliminated soon.

So he just took a few glances, and after confirming that it was operating normally, he took people to check the factory outside the town.

While walking on the road, Li Ke smelled a strong smell of coal. He didn't pay attention, thinking about the machines he just saw in the mill, and turned to look at Walder.

"Speaking of those corn threshers and wheat threshers, have you finished them?"

Li Ke asked. He was often forced to repair these things, so he knew the structure quite well. He even reserved the position of the small engine so that he could later dismantle the hand-cranked device and replace it with an electric one.

The corn thresher is an old-fashioned hand-operated thresher in rural areas. Li Ke has also repaired it...

There is no way, it is impossible for a craft blogger who lives in the countryside not to think about this.

"Well, it's already done. It's just that I haven't prepared the lathe that specializes in producing parts for this thing. And because of some of the accessories we are currently producing, it will be slightly larger."

Walder nodded and reported some problems.

Because there were many parts for the harvester, Li Ke requested that they be made on a lathe instead of being knocked out by hand, so during this period they made a lot of various lathes. In order to save time and avoid waste, Li Ke drew many design drawings. He directly changed the dimensions so that common parts could be used for production.

Although there may be some problems and it may look ugly, there is absolutely no problem with normal operation.

"That's good, just send a few machines to the threshing floor for them to use, and sell them at the same time... Counting the labor cost, the cost price is five times. By the way, after a worker makes a machine, he will take 20 of the selling price. One percent will be used as a bonus and will be distributed on the first of next month. Also, Lagertha, find some people to sell these things. I don’t care how much they sell them, but this is the price here."

Li Ke vaguely remembered that the cost of this thing was not high. After all, the chain and gears were just a little troublesome, and the rest was the cost of iron and labor.

"clear!"

Lagertha responded to Li Ke with some excitement. This is why so many people follow the trend. Big shots may leak something from their hands at any time and let people eat it. Although they may not make much money, there is no doubt that , such opportunities are endless!

Grayson diligently remembered everything Li Ke said, and after Li Ke explained some things about Lagertha, he finally came to his factory, and then——

"Too crude."

This is Li Ke's only thought.

The factory in front of him looked like a high-walled compound from the outside, but in fact it was just a yard and sheds, most of which were open air.

He had visited it once before. At that time, he said that he wanted to build more decent houses, but he didn't expect that it would still be like this. At most, it would just have more wooden boards to block it when it rains.

Li Ke immediately turned to look at Walder. He provided unlimited funding in this area! That is to say, the manpower is a little short, but it is also the most given!

"Ward, why don't you build a closed factory?"

Then, Walder gave Li Ke a question that he completely ignored.

"Because we need sunlight, my lord. There are no lights or generators here, so this is all we can do."

Li Ke: “…………”

Oh shit! Why is this missing?
