As for items with a moderate shelf life—like rice, flour, oil, various grains, eggs, and fruit—they were distributed from the earliest batches first. Anything that wasn't consumed by the time it reached half its shelf life was taken by the procurement department to various factories. There, it was traded for non-perishables with longer shelf lives, such as cookies, milk powder, malted milk extract, candy, and preserved fruits.
Even these items were rotated out every six months to ensure the food in the warehouse was fresh and plentiful. Naturally, she and Chu Shenyu also made sure to regularly update the food stores in their own cellar at home.
As long as everything was well-planned, everyone's work could proceed in an orderly fashion, responding to the organization in the most suitable way while also nipping any unfavorable developments in the bud.
