"Director Wang, I am deeply grateful for your immense help. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but having visited the Provincial Capital several times, I can offer some humble thoughts. I’ve noticed a new type of food gaining popularity there—it's said to have been introduced by foreigners. They call it bread and cake, and they're supposedly made from flour, milk, and eggs. It’s very popular in the city.
"Office workers especially love these; they taste quite different from steamed buns, almost like baked pastries. You can find them in the counties and cities around the food factory, but if you want to improve efficiency and results, you have to try a different approach. I’ve been thinking about this at home: if you don’t have milk, you can make bread, and once you have milk, you can experiment with cakes. I hear foreigners even use cakes for birthdays; that custom is slowly catching on here too.
"Director Wang, do you have an oven here? If you do, I could try to experiment with bread-making and see if we can boost the food factory’s profitability."
