Minute Differences He Recognized at Once
It was the early evening of December 15, 2025, when the respected Comrade General Secretary
After gladly exchanging greetings with officials of the factory, he went round the factory being guided by them.
Through the rooms producing dairy products and cooking oil, he entered the room producing drinks.
Feasting his eyes on the drinks produced by the factory, he held a bottle of orange-aroma juice to inspect it. He said that the color of it was good and the accompanying officials also expressed admiration.
Carefully looking at the juice bottles, he said that quantities of juice in the bottles were different.
At the moment, the eyes of officials of the factory were focused on the juice bottles.
Indeed, there were differences of the quantities of juice in the bottles. In fact, the officials of the factory paid attention to the color and taste of juice but failed to think about the quantities of juice in bottles.
That day, the respected Comrade General Secretary stressed the need to fill the bottles with equal quantities of juice.
Only the respected Comrade
All the officials impressively thought that our respected Comrade General Secretary is possessed of the spirit of devoted service to people.
0.02 Percent
When the respected Comrade General Secretary dropped in at the packing room of wheat paste and soy sauce, he asked an official of the factory about the taste of soy sauce produced by the factory.
After listening to the official’s reply that the taste of soy sauce is good, he personally opened a bottle to taste it. He said that its taste was good and tasted wheat paste. Then he said the wheat paste was a little sour, suggesting to the accompanying officials tasting the wheat paste.
He stressed the need for the newly built foodstuff factories in cities and counties to make wheat paste and soy sauce tasty and sweet. He kindly instructed that it is important to make aftertaste of products sweet in foodstuff industry.
That day, the officials of the foodstuff factory kept in mind the instruction given by the respected Comrade General Secretary.
So, they measured again the acidity of wheat paste after he left the factory.
All of them were surprised at the result. The acidity of wheat paste was 0.02 percent higher than normal one.
In fact, many officials tasted the wheat paste produced by the factory. But no one could feel the sour taste.
That day, the officials determined to work hard to uphold the intention of our motherly Party to provide our people with tasty foods.
